On the following days, Hemai had nothing to do, so she made more noodles and baked a few oil pancakes. The extra pancakes were not even waiting for Hemai to discuss with him, when Yang Liulang opened his mouth and asked Hemai to send some to the old lady.
Hemai felt very warm in her heart, wrapping up six pancakes and sending it over to the old lady.
Arriving at the thatched cottage, Hemai chatted with Madam Qin for a while inside the hut.
He only heard that Madam Qin's family had caught two little Piggy and they were worrying about their daily pig food, saying that raising pigs had become a gospel. Piggy s were extremely cheap, but if they were not, they would not even be able to return the money they had earned.
Hemai only asked Madam Qin what was good about feeding the pig food. Currently, there was an empty space in the rear room of Yang Family. If he could bring two Piggy back to raise them, it would not be bad.
Hemai asked, and Madam Qin answered.
This little Piggy liked to eat a lot of things, such as acorn fruits, sweet potato leaves, and the slops at home. However, if there was nothing at home, even if he cut some pig grass to feed it to the pigs, it would slowly grow. It would just take a few more days.
Hemai felt that it was very simple to hear, so she asked Madam Qin what the Lee Zheng family was worrying about.
Madam Qin then spoke out the suffering of the Lee Zheng family.
Lee Zheng's wife was the Biao Er who was chatting outside the thatched cottage, Biao Er had never cared about household chores, much less feeding pigs. Lee Zheng normally faced the sky with his back to the earth, the family had three girls and one son, and he was studying at the academy in the town.
The three girls had already married into the outer village, so they couldn't count on this one son, but Biao Er wasn't his match either.
Isn't this worrying? If he came back from the fields and went to mow the grass, he would probably tire them out!
Hemai felt that it was unfortunate. Although his family had the conditions to carry Piggy, they could not come out to be fed. Wasn't this equivalent to watching the silver slip away right in front of her eyes?
Seeing that Hemai was interested in this matter, Madam Qin reminded her to go back and discuss it with the Liulang. If it was suitable, she brought two Piggy back and earned seven to eight silver coins per pig in two years.
Hemai memorized it and after sitting for a while longer, she bade farewell to Madam Qin.
Just as she was about to leave, Madam Qin took a bag of pastries that Shan Cao had brought yesterday as well as half a kilogram of sweet potato. She also instructed Hemai to take less from her parents' house in the future.
Hemai knew the Old Granny's personality, so she could only agree and bring the pastries and sweet potato back home.
It was already late in the night outside, so Hemai hurried on her way, but did not expect to be there. On the way, she met two unrelated people.
Hemai stared at Mrs Dong who was walking towards him, the two of them clashed without any warning, causing Mrs Dong to be shocked, a look of guilt flashed past her eyes.
"Eh, Hemai is back …" The Mrs Dong laughed, "Did you go to where your milk is? What a coincidence, I just went to Doctor Xu to see a patient … "
"Do you want to see a doctor from here?" Hemai indifferently looked at her, and coldly snorted: "You aren't going to go to the firewood?"
"What are you saying, girl!" Mrs Dong looked at her with dissatisfaction, as if she was righteous and confident, "I was just passing by to see if you were at home … Ah, you little girl, why did you leave the Liulang's house? "Even after marriage, you still go to your parents' home and aren't afraid of people gossiping about you …"
Hemai rolled her eyes at her, "Aunt, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first …"
"Hey hey hey, wait a bit!" The Mrs Dong called out to her, "Little girl, what are you so anxious about?" She smiled merrily and came over to grab onto Hemai's hand. Liulang will definitely hate you when he's at home, you have a good life ahead of you too. Liulang won't be at home, he doesn't even know what you're doing, you can rest easy now! "All the women in our village are envious of you …"
"What?" Hemai became suspicious, "What are you talking about? Speak clearly! "
"Nothing, nothing!" Mrs Dong immediately shook her head and laughed, "Girl, go back, I'm leaving!"
Hemai frowned as shshewalked forward. When she was near the door, he suddenly saw two people standing in front of the door.
The tall figure was Yang Liulang, and the slightly plump figure was a woman. From far away, Hemai could see that the woman was gesturing with her hands and feet, waving her claws and talking about something, which made Hemai hear Liuer Guy, Xu Jiang's, a few names.
If one looked carefully at her figure, one would see that she was actually from Aunt Faang!
They all knew that Aunt Faang's mouth was the same as her belt, and that she had no door, but Hemai was curious, why would Aunt Faang tell him about Liuer Guy and Xu Jiang?
Thinking about it this way, and thinking about Mrs Dong's smile just now, Hemai's heart tightened and understood what was going on.
Where did this Aunt Faang hear the rumors about Liuer Guy? While she was not at home, she took the opportunity to learn some words for her!
It was fine for Aunt Faang to have a broken mouth, but she actually went to Yang Liulang's side to spread her rumors! Did she really think that she, Linn Hemai, was easy to bully!
Thinking about it, Hemai immediately ran over and shouted: "Liulang!"
Aunt Faang was spitting nonsense. When she saw Hemai running over, he was startled and embarrassed, as she greeted uncomfortably: "Yo, Hemai is back …."
"Aunt Faang," Hemai ran over, seeing Aunt Faang's distressed and uneasy look, she could not help but sneer, "What are you talking to my Liulang about?"
"I didn't, didn't say anything!" Aunt Faang immediately denied it and stuttered as she explained, "About that … I came with Mrs Dong to find you for treatment, and when we returned home, I wanted to drop by to see you, so …"
Hemai squinted his eyes, "Did you drop by to see me on the way? Then what were you saying to Liulang at the door when I was not at home? "
"He didn't say anything! Oh wow, what are you thinking! " Seeing Hemai questioning her, the Aunt Faang immediately shouted grievances, "I am your wife after all, what are you thinking about with your brain? I am just here to chat with Liulang. Look at you … "
Hemai's gaze fell on Yang Liulang's face. Only now did she manage to see Yang Liulang's expression when she returned.
It was good that she did not look, but when she looked, she was actually shocked by Yang Liulang's expression.
Hemai's usually gentle and smiling face was now tense, the corners of her mouth were pursed into a line, his cold eyes flashed with displeasure, and Hemai could even see a trace of anger in his eyes.
"Liulang?" Hemai was shocked, and thought to herself: "Not good, Liulang must not listen to rumors.
She glared fiercely at Aunt Faang, but was thinking about how to explain it to him.
Aunt Faang also noticed that Yang Liulang's expression did not look good, and when he saw the expression in Hemai's eyes, he immediately scrunched his neck and laughed, "Ya-girl, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first … I'll come see you guys again when I'm free! "
Hemai glared at Aunt Faang's back, "Long-tongued woman!"
Leaving Hemai and Liulang in front of the door, Hemai gave a light cough as she explained, "Liulang, don't listen to their nonsense. Actually …"
"Liuer Guy came over?" Yang Liulang suddenly interrupted her.
"Huh?" Hemai was shocked by his ice-cold words and could only reply: "I have come before, but …"
"Did he really come here before?" Yang Liulang's eyes turned cold, "I thought they were just spouting nonsense!"
"This …" Hemai was startled, seeing Yang Liulang's stern and increasingly cold expression, she could not help but think bitterly in her heart: Could it be that he believed the slanderous words of the Aunt Faang, and believed that Liuer Guy was involved with him?
Don't look at how Yang Liulang was usually considerate and considerate to Hemai, but regarding this kind of matter concerning women's reputation, it was hard to say if he wasn't like the majority of men in the world, who valued women's reputation more than anything!
If he really believed Aunt Faang, even if Hemai jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to wash her face off this easily!
Grief and grievance surfaced in Hemai's eyes. Could it be that the trust and concern between the two of them had crumbled just because of this?
That would be too pathetic!
