Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 16

"Then Bao'er will be handed over to you. Grandma Song, I will leave first. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Before Grandma Song could finish her rejection, Shen Yingshu put the things into Grandma Song's arms and left quickly.

"Mother, go early and come back early!"

Only Grandma Song was left holding something in one hand and holding Bao'er in the other, standing where she was and smiling helplessly.

"Bao'er, let grandma play with you for a while..." Grandma Song patted Bao'er's head lovingly, closed the door, and took Bao'er's hand into the room.

After handing over Bao'er to Grandma Song, Shen Yingshu felt light all over, and walked briskly towards the place where the ox cart was parked in the village.

However, the good mood of this early morning disappeared almost instantly after seeing the group of women chatting on the bullock cart.

The corners of Shen Yingshu's upturned mouth immediately fell down. She really knew all the women sitting in the ox cart.

Several of them were the first to publicize the news of Shen Yingshu's unmarried first childbirth after learning the news.

Especially the middle-aged woman on the bullock cart who was wearing a red floral dress and was chatting with the woman next to her. Her surname was Mrs. Zhou and her family name was Liu. Ridge Village.

Liu Zhou's reputation in the boudoir is relatively lazy, not as good as the industrious and beautiful Zhou Yurong. After she married, she secretly envied and hated Zhou Yurong. The husband she married was as lazy as her, and her mother-in-law was always behind her back. tortured her.

Although Zhou Yurong's mother-in-law was not very kind to her, but Shen Yousheng was kind to Zhou Yurong, with such a considerate look, I don't know how many little women secretly envied Zhou Yurong.

Later, when Shen Yingshu was in her teens and was about to get engaged, Mrs. Liu Zhou set her sights on Shen Yingshu again, and wanted Shen Yingshu to marry her own son, but her son was doted on by their family and was lawless, fat and lazy.

Zhou Yurong and Shen Yousheng politely refused at that time, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.But in the eyes of Liu Zhou, his own son is worthy of being a daughter of a thousand gold, and when he refused, he became even more dissatisfied.

Later, when they heard that Shen Yousheng had died, they kept spreading rumors behind their backs, saying that Shen Yousheng had been restrained to death by Zhou Yurong.After hearing the news that Shen Yingshu was pregnant out of wedlock, Mrs. Liu Zhou didn't know how wild her laughter was, so she couldn't wait to go to other people's houses to publicize it.

Not only that, but he also added details about how indiscreet Shen Yingshu was. The little girl of the original owner was so frightened by these words that she didn't even dare to go out, she hid in the house and cried all day long.

She was also one of the culprits who made Zhou Yurong hot. When Shen Yingshu moved, Zhou Yurong and Liu Zhoushi scolded each other for several days.

In the end, the Liu Zhou family lost to Zhou Yurong and the curtain came to an end.

Although she didn't say anything about Zhou Yurong on the surface, she was not convinced in the back, she often said bad things about Zhou Yurong behind her back, and Shen Yingshu would inevitably be scolded.

It can also be said that Shen Yingshu's reputation has been mostly ruined by her over the years.

"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else who wants to get in the car! No one left!"

Shen Yingshu withdrew her thoughts, now is not the time to fix this person, she still has to get on the bullock cart, she doesn't want to walk over like the original owner, "Uncle, wait a minute."

As soon as Shen Yingshu's crisp voice sounded, the originally noisy chatter on the bullock cart suddenly seemed to press the pause button.

Liu Zhou, including the women next to her, all looked at Shen Yingshu, with disgust and surprise in their eyes, as if wondering why Shen Yingshu would speak.

Shen Yingshu ignored these gazes, walked straight to the bullock cart, took out two copper coins from his pocket and put them in the hands of the old man driving the bullock cart.

These days, everyone's life is better, so the cost of going to the town by bullock cart is not expensive, only two cents.

But the two pennies are just for going, if you want to make this bullock cart and come back, you have to pay another two pennies.

The original owner didn't want to take the bullock cart before, not only because he didn't want to listen to the gossip of the women on the bullock cart, but also because of the two pennies.Although these two copper coins are small, it is enough to buy an egg for Bao'er to replenish his body.

"Yingshu, do you have any money? Why don't you just sit down, and the master won't charge you." The old man who drove the car also grew up watching Shen Yingshu, and he also likes Shen Yingshu very much.

He knew that Shen Yingshu was a young woman with a child, and life was not easy, so he said kindly.

Before Shen Yingshu could speak, Mrs. Liu Zhou who was sitting in the back of the car said in a strange way, "Fifth uncle, you can't do this. We are all in the same village. If you just waive the fare for Shen Yingshu, then Our fare is also free, you can't be partial. You think I'm right!"

"She's right, fifth uncle, you've already given Shen Yingshu the fare waiver, why don't you buy it for us, you know, it's not easy to earn money with so many children in our family..."

"Yes, yes."

The women chatting with her echoed her words.

Seeing this, Shen Yingshu cast a glance at them, then turned his attention to the fifth uncle who was driving the car, "Fifth Grandpa, no need, I still have the money for the ride, thank you Fifth Grandpa."

For those who treat her well, she has never been stingy with a smile.

"There's nothing to be thankful for." The fifth uncle smiled kindly at Shen Yingshu, and cast a gloomy glance at the back, "Yingshu, there's no place to sit at the back, or you can sit here."

The place where the fifth uncle pointed was not far from him.

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu Zhou rolled her eyes, but it seemed that the fifth uncle said it, and she didn't refute it out loud. If she wanted to humiliate Shen Yingshu, she had a lot of ways.

"Okay." Shen Yingshu didn't bother to talk to her, and it happened that she didn't want to be crowded with those wretched women, so she followed the fifth uncle's words.

She knew that the fifth uncle spoke, but she didn't want the women headed by Liu Zhou's mouth to disgust her.

As soon as Shen Yingshu sat down, the fifth uncle drove the ox cart slowly forward.

The speed of the ox cart is not as fast as that of a horse-drawn cart or that of a mule cart. It is slow and leisurely, and it feels like it is urging people to sleep.

It was the first time for Shen Yingshu to ride an ox cart in his previous and present life. At first, he thought it was quite strange, but then he was shaken by the slow speed and fell asleep. However, there would be pits and bumps in the mud from time to time.

At this moment, a refresher came from behind.

"Xiaoju, I heard you say something happened to your natal family two days ago."

When Liu Zhou spoke, he raised his eyebrows and winked at the woman next to him.

"...Yes, yes. That incident was quite a disturbance at the time." The woman immediately realized and followed Liu Zhou's meaning.
