Chapter 3 Door-to-door Begging
But I didn't expect that the dried sweet potatoes I gave to Aunt Li in the morning spread in the afternoon in the village. In the evening, a woman from the village came to look for Chaole.
"Girl, is that still possible to make dried sweet potatoes?" The woman who came to the door smiled and turned her eyes after looking at Chaole who opened the door.
When I came to ask about dried sweet potatoes, Chaole always felt that the woman looked at her eyes and put her hands on the door, thinking that if the woman came from bad things, she would just keep her door closed.
"You want to buy it?" Because I didn't like it, Chaole was not polite to speak.
The woman was stunned. Every family had sweet potatoes, but they were not expensive goods. They were all in the same village. The child wanted to eat them and asked her to come over to ask her for some, but she didn't expect that the girl asked her if she wanted to buy something that was spent on money to buy something like this.
"You give me some dried sweet potatoes, and I'll give you some sweet potatoes later. Let's just exchange lines." After saying this, the woman felt that her arrangement was reasonable, and her eyes became more and more reasonable when she looked at Chaole.
Seeing that the woman looked bad, she was not happy after hearing her words. Why should she give money to people she didn't know? Yesterday, Lu Jingyan's words were still echoing in her ears. She couldn't save her and had to keep her. She made dried sweet potatoes to stay in this house. She didn't know this person, but came to ask for it. Chaole couldn't speak well any more.
After she came to this village, she had not left the house and did not know anyone outside. She spoke rashly and was afraid of offending people. When she was hesitating and embarrassed, she suddenly heard a voice from the next door.
"The dried sweet potatoes from Awang's family are made by other girls. Why don't you buy some money to buy them back?"
Looking up, it was Aunt Li, and Chaole felt relieved.
When Awang's family saw Aunt Li talking, he suddenly turned cold. Looking at Aunt Li walking over, he naturally had no good expression. "Why are you saying this so well? You are from the same village. When Lu Jingyan came to our village, if we hadn't been kind enough to take him in, he would have died eight hundred years ago. Now he only has some dried sweet potatoes and still has money. Isn't it hurting his feelings?"
Aunt Li, who was originally smiling, immediately turned his face, "I still remember that when Jing Yan came to the village to buy a house and temporarily lived, you were the one who made the most trouble."
The Awang family member also turned cold and said with his hips on his back: "Aunt, you have to tell evidence of what you said. Now the Lu family member is standing here."
"..." He was shot in the chest, "When did this identity be determined? Why did she keep the person involved in the dark?"
It would be fine if I didn't mention it, but when Aunt Li mentioned it, she became angry and started to say the words circulating in the village these days. It was her who jumped up and down and spread the most in the village.
The two of them started to make a fuss, but as the parties involved, Chaole felt very innocent. He was refuted by the Awang family as soon as he spoke a few words of persuasion.
Hearing the noise, several families next door emerged, and after a while, several families came over.
Chaole showed his appearance in front of several neighbors around him for the first time.
When Lu Jingyan came back, he saw the scene of the villagers surrounding his doorstep.
I don’t know who called Lu Jingyan back in the crowd, and the onlookers turned around and looked at him.
Even when he just came here to settle down a few years ago, he had never been looked at by so many eyes. Lu Jingyan felt strange. What happened that made so many people surrounded his doorstep.
"You are finally back." Seeing Lu Jingyan as if he saw a savior, he hurried forward and grabbed his sleeve and pulled it to the door.
He pulled his sleeves back, put his hands on his back, and looked in front of him with a serious face, "Speak well, how can it be done to touch the feet in public?"
"...Don't be so serious. I'm too anxious and not paying attention." I lowered my head and stuck out my tongue and responded in a low voice. I also knew that the age was different, so I had to pay attention to some movements.
With Lu Jingyan, the rest of the matter is naturally not necessary. Fortunately, the others did not necessarily let her be present. After all, in the eyes of everyone, they all think that she is Lu Jingyan's wife. Why do men still keep women present if they can solve the problem?
The flour was made into noodles, and after Lu Jingyan finished processing it, the noodles were just out of the pot and served.
"That thing you did yesterday to make trouble?" Looking at the steaming noodles on the table, Lu Jingyan, who was originally serious, looked a little better. He saved and took Chaole in and took Chaole with his own pleasure, but he still felt good so far. Since Chaole arrived, he no longer had to make porridge every day, and he could eat it in a different taste every meal. Chaole also made a lot of fresh things that he had never eaten before, such as this noodles tonight and the dipping sauce in the small plate next to him, which was very delicious.
I didn't argue with Lu Jingyan, after all, it was an indisputable fact that I was surrounded by someone at my doorstep today.
But he also explained, "Dried sweet potatoes are very dependent on sweet potato ingredients. The sweet potatoes in the kitchen have almost been used up. Even if this thing is not worth it, you can't give it to her for no reason."
When he lowered his head and picked up the bowl to eat, he murmured in a low voice, "And I don't know her yet."
Lu Jingyan's noodle was already put into his mouth, but he almost burst into laughter after hearing this. Fortunately, he was still in cultivation. He forced himself to swallow the things in his mouth before asking Chaole: "I heard you plan to sell dried sweet potatoes?"
"Yes, you still have to keep it here. You can't eat and drink for free all the time." He curled his lips and said that he was not a shameless person and would not repay his kindness with grudges.
