Chapter 26
026 Deliberately spreading
"Hey, you damn old man, look how you've messed up everywhere. Eat less and stop pooping!"

As soon as the two sisters Xin Wan returned to the front yard, they heard Mrs. Lu yelling in the old man's room in disgust.

"Mom, give it to me, I'll go wash it." Jin put down what she was doing and hurried to the door of the upper room and said.

"Let me go, mother, your finger hurts when you touch the cold water, so don't wash it."

"This won't work. You are so young and greedy for coolness, but you will hurt your health when you grow up." Jin said anxiously. She understood that her two daughters were filial, but the river was so cold, how could she be willing to let her daughter go there in the middle of winter? Washing in the river.

"It's okay, mother, I'll go to the river to wash it first, you prepare some hot water for me, and I'll wash it with hot water when I come back later." Xin Wan rushed to take the list thrown out by Lu Shi.

"How do you boil hot water? It doesn't take any effort to fetch water. It doesn't cost any firewood to boil water. You are not allowed to wash at home. Go to the river now. If you can't wash well, don't come back!" Ms. Lu scolded the mother and daughter.

Xin Cuiqi's eyes were red and she was about to cry.

Xin Wan snatched the sheet and left with a big basin in the yard.

"Night~"

"Mom, I'm going to find my sister."

"Let her go wherever she can. You can light the fire for me and let your mother be more agile and cook for a long time! She only knows how to eat, but she is nothing!" Lu continued to curse, dare to give her The granddaughter was angry and wanted to see how she would deal with her.

Jin had no choice but to drag Xin Cui into the kitchen. Once they entered the kitchen, the two of them started to cry.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the river in the village won't freeze for less than three to nine days. It's so cold to wash things in the river at this time.

The two of them were heartbroken.

Xin Wan does not object to washing clothes by the river, because this way she can avoid people's sight and enter the space.

It's just that winter is not as good as summer, and there is no shelter. When Xin Wan arrived at the river, she found that there was really no place to cover to enter the space, so she could only throw the quilt sheet into the pool in the space.

The water in the pool is spiritual water and has the function of purification. Although she also soaks and bathes in the pool, the water she drinks comes from the waterfall. She does not dislike the old man's filthy things. Who doesn't eat whole grains? Shit and piss.

Besides, the pool will purify itself and is not dirty at all.

In just a flash, the sheet Xin Wan was holding was washed, but she couldn't go back so quickly, so she placed the sheet by the river and let the water continue to flow.

Most people in the village don't have wells, so they go to the river to fetch water. Xin Wan deliberately washes the sheets when there are people around, giving people a false impression.

Sure enough, the aunt who had something good came to ask.

"Hey, whose child are you from? Why do you come here to wash clothes in the winter?"

"Hello, aunt. I am the second daughter of the second bedroom of the Xin family. This is grandpa's quilt. Grandma is not allowed to wash it at home. I am only allowed to wash it by the river."

Xin Wan crisply pretended to be tender and said, her small face was pitiful, and her big wet eyes looked at this woman with sympathy immediately.

"Poor child, Mrs. Lu is such a vicious woman. She can't bear to let you, a little baby, wash clothes by the river in the middle of winter!
Your grandfather is paralyzed on the kang, and everyone knows that you are not allowed to wash this dirty thing on any day. You are so young, and the river is neither frozen nor cold. If your foot slips and falls, will you still survive? up? "

"It's okay, aunt. I have to be careful. My mother's fingers tremble in pain as soon as they touch the cold water. I can't bear her to wash them. Grandma doesn't like the waste wood and is not allowed to boil water for washing, so I can only wash it by the river.

Good aunt, it's cold. Please go home. Don't freeze you. I'm going to finish washing. I won't have food until I get home. "Xin Wan pretended to be innocent as a child, and the woman felt even more pitiful when she looked at her.

"You are a sensible child, and I have never seen you come here in winter before."

"Yes, my father used to boil water at home during the winter, and he collected firewood for the family. Now, my father is gone, me, us~"

Xin Wan didn't say half of what she said, and only half of what she said was enough. She even tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and she looked pitiful, and the woman who looked at her felt very sympathetic.

"It's really pitiful, ever since your grandfather fell, your Xin family, that Lu family is simply a jackal, look at how ugly she is cursing people now.

Now you orphans and widowers are really pitiful, being bullied like this, hey." The woman sighed and returned to her home.

However, Xin Wan knew that this woman looked kind-faced and was a famous loudmouth in the village. Her gossip skills were definitely like those of a fighter jet. Moreover, she had seen Mr. Lu quarreling with her, and the two of them had never dealt with each other, so she Act like this on purpose.

One is to win her sympathy, and the other is to spread today's events through her mouth. She is deliberately trying to tarnish Lu's reputation.

Otherwise, both the Jin family and the Tian family, including the girls at home, would inevitably come to the river to wash clothes this winter. Now that the old man's gastrointestinal condition has been adjusted, he will naturally have diarrhea every day.

So washing the sheets will be a daily thing from now on. Who told Mrs. Lu not to take good care of her? If she had put on a diaper for the old man, he wouldn't have stains everywhere. But she didn't care and just let him vomit in the urine. She was sleeping, so Xin Wan could only go over and take care of her in the middle of the night.

Also, because Xin Jinbao was studying, Mrs. Lu always pretended to be a bitch, vicious and foul-mouthed, but she always felt that she was superior to others and was quite respectable in the village.

She feels very good about herself and doesn't even hear how others talk about her behind her back.

So once any gossip spreads in the village, for the sake of her own face, she will not let them come to the river to wash things in the middle of winter. In this way, Xin Wan's proactiveness today will benefit the future.

On the way home Xin Wan, Jin and Xin Cui were running anxiously. It seemed that they were worried about her and came to ask her for help.

"Wan'er, Wan'er, you must be freezing. Come home with your mother." The Jin family lived with Xin Wan, and she felt very distressed.

The weather was cold, even if Xin Wan hadn't touched the cold sailors, it would still be cold.

Jin looked at her hands that were red from the cold, tears welling up in her eyes. She thought about how her husband had protected them before he died. Even though they worked hard at home and felt sorry for him and followed him to the fields, they still didn't. Washing clothes by the river in the middle of winter.

Farmhouses have big kangs, and the fire in the kitchen will never go out, so warm water is very convenient. You just need to collect more firewood and water. The river is not full of water. You just need to be diligent and bring more home.

"I'm fine, mother, let's go home."

The three mother and daughter went home with red eyes, and were watched by many people along the way, coupled with the woman's deliberate spreading, it really took less than a day for Lu's vicious reputation to spread.

Naturally, Mrs. Lu couldn't hear her at home, but Mrs. Lou loved to visit. On weekdays, the Dong family and the Li family were short, so they would go to whose house they were doing well and eat snacks from time to time.

Generally speaking, everyone can hide when they can in summer, but cats in every house can't hide in winter, so Mrs. Lou has no virtue, not to mention that many people in the village are hostile to her.

Some honest people will tolerate it, and some aggressive daughter-in-laws will drive her out outright, so the Lou family has a lot of grievances in the village.

But she always relied on her son as a scholar, so the villagers did not dare to offend her too much, and there were quite a few people who tolerated her.

After all, it is not easy to produce a scholar in the village. If they get lucky in the future, they don't want to take advantage of it. But with the nature of Mr. and Mrs. Lou, they just worry about not getting themselves into trouble.
