After that, Lu Zhengan thanked Li Erwang before turning around and leaving.

Li Erwang's house is forty or fifty meters away from Widow Zhou's house, and although Lu Zheng'an did not pass by the door of Widow Zhou's house when he returned, he still deliberately stood at the intersection for a moment when he left.

However, just as he was gone, a figure poked its head out of the low wall behind him.

The other party looked at the back of Lu Zheng'an leaving, and the expression on his face was extremely disdainful. With the illusion in his mind about the 'reluctance' in Lu Zheng'an's eyes when he looked in the direction of Widow Zhou's house, the man pursed his lips and raised his foot to kick the puppy that was frolicking at his feet.

Listen to the puppy howling as she frantically runs away from her with her tail between her legs. The man gritted his teeth and scolded: "Cheap thing, why doesn't God open his eyes, and he doesn't accept this pair of dog men and women!" ”

……

Sure enough, on the second day after Lu Zheng'an returned to the village, rumors in the village about Lu Zheng'an being bold and meeting with Widow Zhou in broad daylight spread again.

Because Lu Zhengan was in front of everyone at the entrance of the village before, Zhou Xuanbao told the truth in front of him, and after the rumors came out again this time, not many people believed it anymore.

Moreover, when Li Erwang's sister-in-law talked about this, she happened to be caught by Lu Yang, the daughter-in-law of the village chief.

Lu Yang's preference for Lu Zheng'an, and he was angry that he was rumored to be made, and at this time, he finally caught Li Dawang's daughter-in-law who slandered him in the back, where would he spare her. immediately asked her daughter Xiao Yingchun to call Lu Zhengan to come over, and at the same time grabbed her collar and wanted to go to the village elders to judge.

Wang Xiumei is Li Dawang's daughter-in-law, who is extremely spicy, and was suddenly caught at this time, and immediately lost her usual arrogance. But the mouth still doesn't stop, and the scolding keeps scolding along the way.

Lu Yang knew that she was just a piece of hob meat, and she refused to let go no matter what she said.

When Lu Zhengan saw Xiao Yingchun coming to his house in a hurry, he knew that the person who spread rumors about him behind his back already had eyebrows. But when Xiao Yingchun said that the other party turned out to be Li Erwang's sister-in-law, Lu Zhengan was still a little surprised.

However, Lu Yingchun was still young, and she couldn't tell the specific situation, so Lu Zhengan took her all the way down the mountain.

However, just as the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, a mule cart staggered towards this direction. After seeing Song Huaishu sitting on the donkey cart, Lu Zhengan pulled Lu Yingchun to stop.

Lu Zheng'an: "What a coincidence, are you going to kiss?" ”

CHAPTER XVI

Song Lan's temperament has always been neat and tidy, although Song Xiren said that he would always invite Lu Zhengan to come home and let her see her last time, but he has been dragging it out without moving.

Song Lan, who was running out of patience, took advantage of the gap between Song Xiren's grocery store and went directly to Hualong Mountain with Song Huaishu, who didn't know what to do.

Lu Zhengan was extremely surprised to see Song Huaishu, and took Lu Yingchun's little hand to greet him.

"What a coincidence, are you going to kiss?"

Hearing this, Song Huaishu smiled: "No, accompany my mother to come out to relax." ”

As the two spoke, an elderly woman poked her head out of the mule's carport. Seeing the two people standing on the side of the road talking, the woman smiled and said, "Huaishu, is this the son of the Lu family?" ”

Song Huaishu turned his head to look at the mother who was asking, for fear that she would not be able to stand steadily, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Yes, it's good for my mother to sit, don't come out and suffer the wind."

After that, Song Huaishu turned around and continued to look at Lu Zheng'an, and helped him introduce him: "This is my mother, the weather is good today, take her out for a walk." ”

Lu Zhengan still wanted to say a few polite words to them, but Xiao Yingchun couldn't wait, looked up at Lu Zhengan, shook his finger and said, "Brother Zhengan, let's go quickly." My mother has already grabbed the sister-in-law of the Dawang family who spread rumors about you and went to the fourth uncle's house. ”

When Song Huaishu heard Lu Yingchun's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. was about to ask what was going on, but he heard Lu Zhengan say: "There is a little trouble in the village, I'll go over and deal with it." You and your aunt are here and wait for me, and I'll be back soon." ”

Lu Zhengan immediately confessed to Song Lan in the car, and then took Yingchun to the village.

Song Lan's impression of Lu Zhengan was very good, and at this time, he saw that his village was riddled with troubles. Holding on to the door of the carriage, he hesitated, and then said to Song Huaishu: "Get on the car, let's go over and have a look." ”

……

When Lu Zhengan came to Lu Ming's house with Yingchun, Li Erwang's sister-in-law Wang Xiumei was sitting on the ground holding her feet and neck and crying. Seeing Lu Zhengan coming, his eyes glanced at him and his voice was a little higher than before. shouted in his mouth that the landing family was powerful and bullied them with few surnames.

Seeing Lu Zhengan enter the courtyard gate, Li Erwang on the side looked extremely apologetic. He originally thought that it was not Mrs. Ge who was suspected by Lu Zheng'an who was spreading rumors behind him, but should also be someone else. What he never expected was that person turned out to be his sister-in-law......

Lu Zhengan saw Wang Xiumei behaving like this and didn't pay attention to her, but just walked to Lu Yang's side and thanked her.

Seeing that the parties had already arrived, Lu Yang was about to speak, but Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand to stop her.

Lu Zhengan: "Since Dawang's sister-in-law feels wronged, let's wait for her to finish crying first, and it's not too late to talk about it after she finishes crying." ”

As soon as Lu Zheng'an said this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, even Wang Xiumei, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help choking and began to hiccup.

However, it is always disgraceful to be caught, that is, crying and hiccuping, Wang Xiumei still did not stop.

However, after a quarter of an hour passed, Wang Xiumei gradually discovered that crying was also a physically exhausting thing. And she also sat on the ground with her legs straight, and after a long time, she began to have back pain and leg cramps.

Wang Xiumei wanted to move her hands and feet, but there were people all around, and doing so would only add laughter to the people watching the excitement, so she simply gritted her teeth and stiffened up.

At first, Wang Xiumei was lucky that someone would come over to pull her, but the people in the village had never seen Lu Zheng'an's way of doing things, and they all hugged their arms and watched the excitement on the side.

Wang Xiumei, who was gradually exhausted, saw that none of the people were willing to stretch out their hands, and her heart suddenly became angry.

Immediately disregarded his face, turned over and stood up from the ground, patted the soil on his fart/stock, pointed at Lu Zhengan and scolded: "Lu Zhengan, you black-hearted and rotten liver!" You're just deliberately fixing me! Gossip is what I'm talking about?! I dare admit it, do you dare? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan was not annoyed, he still looked at Wang Xiumei without impatience, and asked: "Dawang's sister-in-law said that I dare to do it and dare not admit it, so I want to ask what I did?" ”

Wang Xiumei saw that Lu Zhengan still refused to admit that she had an affair with Widow Zhou, so she immediately crossed her hands on her hips: "The little thing between you and Widow Zhou should be hidden, but I didn't know that someone would see it." I want to go to the village for a tryst in the daytime, and I am not afraid of being blinded by Zhou Boxing. ”

When Wang Xiumei said this, Song Huaishu just carried Song Lan's family into the door. Hearing this, Song Lanshi couldn't help frowning.

That Lu Zheng'an is dignified, his eyes are clear, and no matter how he looks at it, he is not the kind of obscene person who knocks on the widow's door. It's just that even so, Song Lan's impression of Lu Zhengan in his heart began to be greatly reduced.

However, since she and Song Huaishu have already met with Lu Zhengan, there is no reason to say goodbye. Song Lan still held Song Huaishu's arm, and patiently continued to watch the farce in front of him.

Lu Zhengan didn't know that Song's mother and son had followed, and when he heard Wang Xiumei's slander, Lu Zhengan only felt that this woman's conjecture was ridiculously tight.

"I came to Uncle Changgen's house yesterday to borrow something, and the four uncles in the village and all the uncles saw it. I have never been to Sister-in-law Zhou's house, and naturally some people in the village have seen it. If you think so, then I have been to your house since I came out of Uncle Changgen's house, does that mean that I also have something to do with you? ”

Lu Zhengan's voice fell, and the people around him immediately burst into laughter. Wang Xiumei listened to the laughter of the people around her, blushing and scolding Lu Zhengan for being shameless.

Seeing that the people around her began to believe Lu Zheng'an, the angry Wang Xiumei began to speak: "That day, you had to talk to Widow Zhou in front of your house in front of your son, but someone saw it, and you still wanted to quibble." You, you are a shameless dog man and woman! ”

When Widow Zhou heard this, she regretted it and wanted to slap herself a few times. If it weren't for the fact that he was messing around to defend his own little black to escape the problem that day, how could such a thing happen.

However, she is not a vegetarian either, and when she heard Wang Xiumei's words, she immediately cried and asked her to find the person who saw her and Lu Zhengan together.

Wang Xiumei looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and gritted her teeth and refused to speak. Lu Zhengan didn't force her, but turned to Lu Ming and said, "Fourth uncle, let's report to the official." No matter what is right or wrong, the government should give us a clean slate. ”

In these years, the common people are still afraid of the government, especially Wang Xiumei is still a woman, if she goes to the government, she will hear any ugly gossip when she comes out again.

Hearing Lu Zhengan say that she was going to report to the official, Wang Xiumei began to be a little scared in her heart, but her tone was still tough on the surface: "I'm not afraid of reporting to the official, Mrs. Ge saw you standing in one place and laughing with her own eyes, and Widow Zhou's face turned red when she left." You did such an unseemly thing, and no one was allowed to say what's wrong?! ”

Lu Ming didn't expect that it was Mrs. Ge who was stirring up in the middle of this matter, and he was immediately angry. "Call Mrs. Ge to me."

Ge Pozi's popularity in the village is not very good, hearing the old village chief say this, a few women who have been rumored by Ge Pozi immediately walked out of the crowd, rolled up their sleeves and walked out excitedly.

At this time, Mrs. Ge was humming a little song to feed the chickens at home, and she had no idea what was happening in the village. When someone pushed open the courtyard door and pulled out of the house, Mrs. Ge still didn't know what to do.

scolded at a few women who broke in, "You little ladies raised you, what are you doing!" Do you still want to kill people in broad daylight? ”

One of the women was dizzy from Mrs. Ge's call, so she took off the cloth socks on her feet and stuffed them into Mrs. Ge's mouth.

"Normally, your stinky mouth spews feces everywhere, but today my mother has made you a veritable stinky mouth."

When the words fell, a group of people immediately laughed. dragged Mrs. Ge, who was crying and whimpering, all the way to the house of the old village chief Lu Ming.

When several aunts and aunts went to call Mrs. Ge, Lu Zhengan found Song Huaishu's mother and son in the crowd. However, this is not the time to gossip with them, so Lu Zhengan did not go over to talk.

After a while, Ge Pozi was pulled into the courtyard by several people. When she saw Lu Zheng'an beside Lu Ming, as well as Widow Zhou and Wang Xiumei, Mrs. Ge's eyes flashed, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Lu Ming looked at Mrs. Ge's mouth and didn't know that it was stuffed with smelly socks, and couldn't help frowning. I wanted to scold a few words, but today this incident started because of Mrs. Ge, so I just didn't see it.

Wang Xiumei was in a hurry to get out, and after seeing a few people escorting Mrs. Ge into the door, she couldn't wait to say: "Granny Ge, at that time, you told me that you saw Lu Zhengan and Widow Zhou having a tryst in the woods, you have to testify to me whether I am talking nonsense." ”

Listening to Wang Xiumei's words, Mrs. Ge struggled to break free from the shackles of several people, ripped off the stinky socks in her mouth and spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then began to return the mouth.

"What kind of witness? What did I tell you? After that, Mrs. Ge glanced at Lu Zhengan and Widow Zhou, whose eyes were red and swollen, and said, "Besides, what are the two of them going to do, how can I know?" Is it possible that I still have to follow them? ”

"You...... Obviously, you told me that Lu Zhengan and Widow Zhou were not clear, and you also told me that maybe Zhou Xuanbao is not necessarily Zhou's lively species. ”

Wang Xiumei's voice fell, and the widow Zhou on the side couldn't hold back any longer, so she rushed up and grabbed Ge Pozi's hair and began to greet her in the face.

Ge Pozi had just been rubbed by several sinful women, and at this time, where could she be the opponent of the angry Widow Zhou, and was immediately pressed to the ground by Widow Zhou.

Lu Ming saw that there was a lot of trouble, and he hurriedly asked people to separate the two. After a few rounds of back and forth, Mrs. Ge's old face was about to be scratched into shredded potatoes by Widow Zhou.

Seeing that the two were separated and each sat on the ground to rest, Lu Zhengan stepped forward and said to Wang Xiumei and Ge Pozi: "Everyone should know the rights and wrongs of this matter, the fourth uncle and all the villagers are here today, and I must let Mrs. Ge give me and the sister-in-law of the Zhou family an explanation!" ”

"I, Lu Zheng'an, can be regarded as the elders in the village who grew up, how I am a person, I believe you also have a thing or two in your heart. From now on, if there are any rumors in the village that I can't hear, whether you say it or not, I will settle accounts with you. ”

Mrs. Ge didn't have the strength to refute what Lu Zhengan said, but Wang Xiumei on the side felt that Lu Zhengan was embarrassing them. I just wanted to step forward to theorize a few sentences, but after seeing the coldness in Lu Zhengan's eyes, I suddenly closed my mouth and didn't dare to say more.

After the two of them apologized in front of everyone, Lu Zhengan didn't say anything more, and after saying goodbye to Lu Ming and the elders of the Lu Yang family, he walked towards the Song family mother and son in the crowd.

CHAPTER XVII

On the way home with Song's mother and son, none of the three of them mentioned what happened in the small courtyard of Fangcai, but just chattered about some trivial things that had happened in recent days.

As for how to deal with Ge Pozi and Wang Xiumei in the village, as well as how to settle the settlement between Widow Zhou and the two of them, it was not for him to worry about.

However, although Lu Zhengan did not participate in the latter matters, with the character of Widow Zhou, she caught Wang Xiumei and Ge Pozi this time, and I am afraid that she will not let go if she does not lose some meat.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with Lu Zhengan, his original intention was to find out the people behind him who spread rumors about him. By the way, I will give a wake-up call to some of the unclear people in the village, telling them that they are not so easy to mess with.

Along the way, Song Lan's family has been quietly observing Lu Zheng'an, and saw that he was humble and polite to others, his body was strong, and his appearance was not bad. Except for the early death of his parents, no matter how he looks at it, he is a good candidate to be a son-in-law.

Originally, seeing what happened today, Song Lan's favor towards Lu Zhengan was a little lower. However, seeing Lu Zhengan's decisiveness and simplicity in handling things, Song Lan's family began to hesitate again.

Lu Zhengan didn't know what Song Lan's thoughts were, but after all, he was an adult, and although his life on the mountain was very fulfilling, he had lived alone for a long time, and sometimes he inevitably wanted to talk to someone.

It happened that he had a good impression of Song Huaishu, and the two of them were quite chatty, and now that the other party came to visit again, Lu Zhengan was naturally happy.

After pushing open the courtyard door, Lu Zhengan waited for Song Huaishu to send the mule cart away and hurriedly beckoned the two to come into the house to rest, while he went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash his hands.

Song Lan in the hall was also shocked by the large bookshelves in the house, but then he thought that Lu Zhengan's grandfather was the famous Lu Chuan, so he calmed down.

Previously, Song Xiren praised Lu Zheng'an, but Song Lan thought he was exaggerating. I had the fate to see it today, and I also felt that this Lu family kid was really good.

Although there is no one else in the family, and he is a big man, it is normal for life to be rough.

However, on the contrary, the small courtyard of the Lu family is very clean and beautiful, especially the large cluster of moon flowers on the courtyard wall, each flower is the size of a bowl, even if you sit in the house, you can smell the fragrance of the moon flowers. Not to mention that he is just a peasant in the countryside, even the small rich family in the town may not have the neatness of his tidying.

Flowers and plants are the most delicate, and if you are not careful, they may wither. But Lu Zheng'an can raise that plant so well, he must also be a considerate person.

And Huaishu is sensitive and inferior because of physical reasons, and being able to be so friendly with Lu Zhengan is one thing, Huaishu has a good impression of him. On the other hand, it is enough to show that this person has an excellent temperament, so that his son can associate with him without fear.

Thinking of this, Song Lan's dissatisfaction with Lu Zheng'an was a little lighter because of the morning's incident. Gently getting up from the stool, he still wanted to go to the yard to see what flowers were still planted by the wall of his house.
