Wenxiu carried her basket and walked towards the river. The village dogs were barking, one after another. By the time she reached the river, it was getting light and there were industrious farmers on the other side of the river.

The river that surrounds Xitang village is called Qingliu River. It is the mother river that the people of Xitang village and several neighboring villages can survive in. The river wasn't wide, only seven or eight meters wide. However, the river water was extremely clear, and the river water was about two to three meters deep. Years ago, a mother and her son had drowned in the river.

According to the old man, the child was mischievous and accidentally fell into the river while his mother was washing clothes. The mother rushed to save him and fell into the river with him. Because of this, adults always remind children not to go to the river to play, afraid of the children drowning, and feel that the drowned river is not "clean." Not only the children, but even the adults, apart from washing clothes and carrying water for irrigation, didn't get too close to the river.

As Wenxiu walked, she recalled the information regarding the green willow. After digesting this information, she had already walked to the riverside.

"Whooosh."

Wenxiu put down the basket, stretched out her arms and raised her head. She took a deep breath and exhaled. Fresh air penetrated her lungs, making her feel extremely comfortable.

Apart from the two children, the air of Xitang Village, where she had transmigrated to, made her the most excited!

In the previous life, the vegetation was severely damaged. The smog, sandstorm, industrial pollution and other environmental problems caused the air to become filthy. Compared to the fresh air here, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had once lived in hell.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wenxiu felt spirited. Bending down, she picked up the basket and stepped onto the stone slab that was usually used for washing clothes. The stone slabs were arranged in a staggered manner. A foot-wide gap was left in the middle, making it easier for the laundry to soak the clothes with water. However, in the ordinary stone crevice, she saw something that made her excited.

At first glance, Wenxiu thought that she was seeing things, but upon closer inspection, she was indeed a fresh fish!

Perhaps the heavens had finally seen the pity of Wen Xiuniang and the other two after being busy. When she stepped into the early morning dusk to catch fish by the river, she intentionally gave her two half kilograms of carp from a stone crack in the river where she washed clothes.

His luck was extremely good!

Wenxiu only wanted to step on the flagstones to look at the riverbed, but unexpectedly, happiness came so suddenly. Two carp had actually snuck into the cracks in the rocks last night and didn't go out, causing her to pick up such a great deal for nothing. She happily put the carp into the basket, wanting to see if there were any other 'gifts'. After searching for a long time, she still couldn't find anything.

The two carp fish were already pretty good, they were alive and kicking, fresh and satisfied.

Finally, the two children were able to taste the freshness of the fish!

Wenxiu was happily carrying the basket as she walked back. She didn't notice that there were three people in the bamboo forest nearby.

Tang Yuan and Zeng Yi cast a glance at the gloomy face beside them. They were completely unable to figure out what the meaning of their master's words were. It was one thing for them to monitor the movements of the three ladies. What did it have to do with them that they were here to catch the fish so early in the morning? Why do you need to get wet to help catch fish?

Oh, the morning breeze is cool!

Wen Xiu's luck was outrageous. She had picked up two fish with no effort at all. Her mood was extremely excited. Carrying the carp all the way back, his handsome face actually had a few traces of a smile.

Wen Xiu laughed!

The villagers who had left the village early in the morning saw the smile on Wenxiu's face, and as if they had seen a ghost, they greeted her mechanically and then retreated back to their own homes to tell their wives or husbands about such strange things. Wenxiu had been in Xitang Village for five years, and no one had ever seen her smile.

At this moment, someone with a sour tooth said, "Li Zheng is really afraid of marrying Wenxiu as the second string!"

Liu Da He's marriage to Wen Xiu seemed like it had grown legs. When smoke was rising from the roof of the house, it reached Liu Da He himself. Seeing his shocked expression, Liu Erxi smiled and said, "Big brother, you really hid it well. "If it weren't for the fact that everyone was in a good mood and smiling when they saw Wen Xiu, I wouldn't even dare to believe that this was real …"

"She rejected me!"

"What?" Liu Erxi was surprised, and almost choked on his own saliva, his face was red. After coughing twice, he impatiently asked: "Rejected you? Then she … Is the village rumour? "

Liu Da He felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife. He felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to send Liu Er Xi away. However, if he did not confirm that this rumor was fake and that someone was spouting nonsense, wouldn't the notorious literary talent be utterly ruined?

"Erxi, help big brother ask which family is the first to spread this rumor. After he found out, he immediately asked him to clarify that it was Wenxiu who was innocent. Wenxiu and I are completely innocent. We can't let the rumors ruin her life. "

"Big brother, she rejected you. What do you care about her? "Anyway, her reputation isn't too good …" The more Liu Erxi spoke, the softer his voice became, because Liu Dahe's sharp gaze was fixed on him, causing his hair to stand on end, "Big brother, don't be angry, I'll go right now."

Liu Erxi ran away like a wisp of smoke!

"Dad, it's breakfast!"

"Sigh, I'm coming!"

Liu Da He replied and turned around and entered the living room with a pained expression.

Wenxiu, if the rumors were true, how great would that be?

Liu Erxi did things very quickly, inquiring and investigating from door to door. At noon, he found out that the rumor came from that family — Sixth Aunt's house!

When Aunt Liu saw Wen Xiu's smiling face in the morning, she recalled that Liu Da He had delivered two baskets of potatoes to the three of them and guessed that they were involved. He then informed his daily wife of the news.

A rumor spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred. The entire Xitang Village now knew about this!

Liu Erxi told Liu Da He's exact words to Aunt Liu and told her to immediately clarify it. Otherwise, he would accuse her of being a slander and bring her to the yamen.

Sixth Aunt was a woman from the countryside. Where had she been to the yamen? When she heard Liu Erxi's words, she became afraid. She ran to clarify the rumors she had previously spread.

In the afternoon, the people of Xi Tang Village all found out — Li Zheng had nothing to do with Wen Xiu!

When Song Xiaoyue heard her sister-in-law discussing the rumors, she gritted her teeth in anger. She could not understand why such a good person like Wenxiu would not be tolerated by these long-tongued women. Even if she were to remarry, it wouldn't affect anyone. What did it have to do with the people who were right and wrong?

No, she had to go to Xiu Xiu's house.

The Wang family's wives were talking animatedly, no one noticed Song Xiaoyue leaving quickly.

Wenxiu was sitting in the yard, thinking about how to cook the fish she caught that morning. After a "peng" sound, Song Xiaoyue's figure rushed in.
