Xie's mother had a good impression of Hui Niang, her face softened slightly, and she nodded and replied: "His father and Ni'er will come over in a few days, and they want to buy some rice, flour, oil, salt and the like."

"What a coincidence..."

Hui Niang smiled slightly and said, "I'm just going to buy some salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Can we go together?"

Xie's mother could not tell that Huiniang was probably entrusted by someone to have such a coincidence. Her eyes flashed slightly and she did not reject her son's filial piety.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Hui Niang smiled and said nothing.

Xie's mother was not a talkative person either. She sat upright, holding her crutches, closing her eyes and concentrating.

When the people nearby learned that this new face was actually Master Xie's mother, they all showed respect and flattery in their eyes.

Someone whispered: "Master Xie, you look really impressive."

"Master Xie is a master of civil engineering, it would be strange if his mother didn't look impressive."

"I don't know which girl will be lucky enough to marry Mr. Xie in the future..."

"I heard that Mr. Xie passed the national examination at the age of eighteen and is twenty-one this year. My sister-in-law is also very good-looking and literate. Maybe she will be so lucky."

Mother Xie raised her eyes, glanced over with cold eyes, snorted with her nose, and sneered at the whimsical words of others.

Such lack of respect made the women look at each other and changed the subject in embarrassment.

"Ahem, when it comes to this appearance, no one can compare to Su."

"That's true..."

The women were worried about Xie's mother's eyes just now, and their voices gradually weakened, but the word "Su's" still reached Xie's mother's ears, making her frown slightly.

The oxcart drove slowly, and the sun passed through the clouds and fell on the ground, spreading a golden glow.

Xie's mother followed Hui Niang and avoided a lot of unnecessary mistakes. Besides, she just bought some first and waited until Xie's father and Ni'er came over.

After buying the things, seeing that it was still early, I went straight to the place where the ox cart was parked, and took the noon ox cart ride back.

Chen Yuanhai wanted to go home for lunch, so he took Hui Niang over, but the location of the village school was not convenient.

Xie's mother was now over forty years old. She took a trip in the morning and still remembered the way back. She refused Hui Niang's offer to let Chen Yuanhai give her a gift, and walked to the village school with her basket and crutches.

.

As he was approaching the village school, he saw a woman standing in front of her son. She frowned and quickened her pace.

The woman is indeed beautiful, with a pair of charming fox eyes slightly curved, red lips, white teeth, and fair skin. She is wearing a crescent-colored skirt, which makes her look like a fairy or the moon.

The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, but Xie Wenci was startled at first, and then smiled slightly. Xie's mother suddenly became angry, picked up the crutch and threw it at Xie Wenci.

"You bastard, I've only been away for half a day, you act so recklessly, you're worthy of Ni'er!"

The incident happened so suddenly that Xie Wenci didn't react at all, but Su Mo had excellent reaction skills honed in the last days.

In the flash of lightning, the hatchet that turned into a bracelet and was worn on the hand turned into an arm guard, and then raised his hand to block the crutch.

The crutch fell to the ground, and she looked at Xie's mother, her eyes full of anger. Even the well-informed mother Xie was frightened by this terrifying look.

"mother!"

And Gu Jinnian, who had just come out of the village school and witnessed all this with his own eyes, quickly ran to Su Mo's side.

"Mom, are you okay?

Do you want me to go find Grandpa Wang?"

Gu Jinnian nervously grabbed Su Mo's clothes and looked back and forth at her hand blocking the cane. At the same time, he did not forget to cast a sinister look at Xie's mother.

"Mom, you're wearing thick clothes, so it's okay."

Su Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, silently turned the arm guard into a bracelet again, and moved his arm under Gu Jinnian's gaze.

"Mrs. Gu, I'm so sorry..."

Xie Wenci finally came to his senses and hurriedly apologized to Su Mo, then looked at Xie's mother.

"Mom, you misunderstood.

As my son told you before, this Luoshan Village School has accepted two talented disciples, and this is the eldest disciple’s mother.

She is also the Mrs. Gu who funded the establishment of the village school that her son mentioned."

Xie's mother naturally heard Gu Jinnian's "mother" to the woman just now, and also knew that Xie Wenci accepted his apprentice.

Hearing Xie Wenci's explanation, he immediately guessed that the woman in front of him was the strange woman from Luoshan Village.

In the past, she would have admired Mrs. Gu. After all, a female prostitute and a widow could fund the establishment of a village school, improve the soil quality, and successfully grow wheat in saline-alkali land.

But the scene she just saw echoed in her mind and was difficult to dissipate for a long time, causing her to begin to wonder if Xie Wenci had other intentions when he mentioned this woman at home...

Come to think of it, it's not good to speak without conclusive evidence. As a woman, she naturally knows how serious the harm these rumors can do to a woman.

She walked over with a sullen face, and first gave Xie Wenci a cold look, her tone unequivocal.

"You go in, I have something to tell Mrs. Gu!"

"mother…"

Xie Wenci knew what his mother was like and wanted to speak immediately, but saw Xie's mother glare at him and immediately stopped her words.

He pursed his lips tightly, lowered his head, and still compromised.

Xie Wenci entered the village school, and there were only Xie's mother, Su Mo and Gu Jinnian left outside.

It is still the first month of the year, and the sunshine at noon is neither hot nor dry. It is warm and comfortable on my body.

Mother Xie took a deep breath and looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo thought that Xie's mother was trying to ridicule her, and was about to speak sarcastically first, telling Xie's mother not to think too much.

But he saw Xie's mother bowing deeply to him and taking the initiative to apologize.

"What happened just now was the fault of me, an old woman.

I know how much effort it took to throw the crutches. Just ask the doctor to prescribe some good medicine, and I will pay for it."

Xie's mother lowered her posture, but it made it difficult for Su Mo to say the words that came to her lips. Besides, Gu Jinnian was Xie Wenci's apprentice after all...

Just when Su Mo made up his mind and accepted this unnecessary disaster, Xie's mother changed the subject.

"It's just that Mrs. Gu, you should pay more attention to her in public.

If someone with a heart sees it and spreads rumors, my Wen Ci is a man after all, but he is just having a romantic affair in Duozhuang.

When his fiancée comes over in a few days, everything will disappear with the wind.

But it's different for you, you are a widow, and there is a lot of trouble in front of this widow. No matter how bad things are, you should think about the children under your knees."

After a series of repeated words, Su Mo's face became completely cold.

She knew that a little impatience would ruin a big plan, and she also knew that the old woman in front of her was Xie Wenci's mother, and Xie Wenci was Gu Jinnian's master.

But it doesn't mean that Mrs. Xie can speak rudely and put the shit basin on her head.

Some things, if the attitude is not firm, will be spread by rumors, but it will not be clear.

"Mrs. Xie, have you ever heard a sentence?"

She sneered, glanced at Xie's mother's face with a hint of sarcasm, and pushed Gu Jinnian forward.

"You already have pearls and jade in front of you, how can you ignore the fish-eyes and fireflies."

"My second son follows his father in every aspect, but he is not as good as his father in every aspect. Although he has a photographic memory and an ear for memories, his appearance alone is not even half as good as his father's."

"Oh, that's right. Mrs. Xie is old and her eyesight is dim, which is normal."
