Chapter 40 The Book Has Its Own Golden House

Therefore, when people came to Jiang's house with embroidered cloth every day, they would occasionally see Shen Chenlan on the window sill of the side room, who was deep in thought while holding a pen.

When he was serious about writing, no matter how those sisters-in-law and aunts chattered, he turned a deaf ear to them.

At this moment, many people praised Shen Chenlan's character.

At the beginning, Shen Chenlan was recruited as a door-to-door son-in-law, seeing the white and tender appearance with slender arms and legs, she didn't like the peasants very much.

But these days, when many people came to Jiang's house and talked about embroidery, Lin Ru said that these patterns were all figured out by his son-in-law.

Immediately, many people were surprised and unbelievable.

Lin Ru also learned from Shen Chenlan, and explained with a smile: "Shen Lan said, there is a golden house in the book, and he read these things from the book."

They are illiterate, so that's what they suffer.

But hearing this made people feel even more uncomfortable.

Someone said: "My brother's son also went to study with Mr. Xu in the village. Why didn't he figure out these things?"

"That's right, the one in my house reads with a book in his hand every day. He reads when he wakes up every day. He is asked to come out when the meal is ready. After eating, he puts down the dishes and goes back to the room. He doesn't think about these things."

"Isn't the one in my family the same? He reads the book every day, regardless of it."

Since these people went to Jiang's house to learn embroidery, it provided a good place for the women in the village to chat, and they could gossip about the gossip in the village every day.

But even though these women are full of complaints, they may not be really dissatisfied.

Instead, he is happy because he has a scholar for his family.

It costs so much to study, and their family can pay for one, isn't it just a face.

Even if the husband and son don't help with the work and share the housework, that's fine.

It's not their job, all these jobs are done by women.

They have already made up their minds in their hearts.

As for why the Jiang family's son-in-law can still help the family with these things, it is purely because his behavior is a bit out of line.

But they would not say these words in front of Lin Ru.

However, there are also kind-hearted people who have close contacts with Daoxiang Village. They heard some rumors, and when they happened to come to Jiang's house, they came to talk to Lin Ru.

"I'm talking about the Jiang family. My cousin married to Daoxiang Village, and she went back to our village for something a few days ago. I heard from her that your son-in-law doesn't have a good reputation in Daoxiang Village. "

As soon as the words came out, the person with sharp ears came over.

It is true that the Jiang family recruited a son-in-law to be in the limelight, and everyone else always remembers it in their hearts.

Although it is not too kind to say it in front of others.

But this is obviously an ulterior secret.

Lin Ru remained calm, without stopping the movement of her hands, and said, "What did you say?"

The man looked back at the side room and saw that it was still far away, so he lowered his voice again before speaking.

"I heard from people in Daoxiang Village that Shen Chenlan's mother-in-law died two years ago, and after a few months, his father brought his stepmother in..."

Speaking of this, the woman next to her stretched out her hand and pushed her, "It's up to you to say, everyone knows."

"Oh, listen to me!" the man said impatiently, "When his mother was raising him, this boy didn't have a bad reputation in the village, but after his mother's death, he seemed to be a different person. Not going home, wandering around in the village, hanging out with some dubious people, sometimes seeing some girls passing by, and making fun of them..."

"Are you talking about Mrs. Shen? Why do you feel that what you said is so different." The person next to him interrupted.
