Chapter 39 Going to town

She looked up and saw Liu Dazhuang from the village approaching her at some point. He looked at her with a flattering face and said, "Sister Ye, I have all kinds of seeds at home. Do you want to go to my house and take a look? Take whatever you like..."

He said, leaning forward.

The ridges of the fields here were crowded with people everywhere, and he squeezed through without attracting anyone's attention.

Jiang Wan took a step back cautiously, but missed a step and almost fell into the rice field that was just filled with water... Liu Dazhuang was close by and hurried to help her...

"Mom, be careful!"

Ye Dahe rushed over, stepped into the rice field, and caught Jiang Wan.

Liu Dazhuang, who was about to come over to help, missed his chance and instead had his ear twisted by a hand.

Aunt Liu twisted her man's ear, stared at Jiang Wan with her eyebrows raised, and cursed: "You vixen, you dare to seduce my man in front of me, Dahe's father has only been dead for two years, and you can't keep it to yourself, how can there be such a shameless person like you..."

Jiang Wan stood up calmly and sneered, "Since Mrs. Liu mentioned Dahe, I have to ask you a few questions. Is Liu Dazhuang as handsome as Dahe? Is Liu Dazhuang as capable as Dahe? Tell me, what is Liu Dazhuang like Dahe? Is he worth hooking up with?"

These words made Liu Dazhuang's face turn pale.

When he was young, he was considered a handsome man, but was always outshined by Ye Youcai. Now, Ye Youcai has been dead for almost two years, and there are still people comparing him with the dead Ye Youcai!

The villagers had just benefited from Jiang Wan, so naturally they spoke up for her everywhere.

"Dad Dahe was really handsome. When he married Mom Dahe, I don't know how many hearts were broken in the village."

"Youcai is an honest young man. When he was in the village, he often helped some lonely elderly people with their work. No one in our village can compare to Youcai."

"How could such a good person die just like that..."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips.

In the original body's memory, there are many scenes of quarreling with Ye Youcai. Most of them were that Ye Youcai went out to help other families with work, and the original body was unhappy, and then the two quarreled. Ye Youcai was a simple and honest man who did not expect anything in return, while the original body was a selfish woman. Fortunately, Ye Youcai joined the army and rarely came back for several years, otherwise the two of them would probably have been unable to live together long ago.

She looked at the crowd with a cold gaze, and said word by word with great force: "Dad Dahe was very good to me. Although he is gone, he has always lived in my heart in another way. I can't forget Dad Dahe, so I will not remarry. I will leave my words here today. I will stay with Dad Dahe for the rest of my life!"

In this era, if a 30-year-old single woman is in her thirties, some people will look at her strangely, or talk about her behind her back, saying that she is an old woman and no one wants her.

But now, her son is so old, he can be single if he wants, and he can even have a good reason. This is probably the biggest convenience after becoming a woman.

Old Mrs. Ye’s face was full of disbelief.

Although it is a rare thing for a widow to remarry these days, it does happen. In the village, there was a woman in her twenties or thirties who remarried after her husband died. She gave birth to a son the second year after marriage and lived a pretty good life.

She thought that as long as the eldest son's wife could stay with him for three years, and then remarry after three years, the Ye family could add some dowry.

Who could have thought that the eldest son’s wife would publicly declare that she would remain a widow for the rest of her life!
Could the eldest brother's wife say such words?
"Mother Dahe, you are still young, don't be foolish!"

"When all five kids are married and have their own families, you will be an outsider. Your own man will know how to handle things."

"But then again, there's no man in the village as talented as you, so it's normal for Lady Ohkawa to have this idea..."

"If there's none in Lotus Village, then go look for one in town. There's always someone who matches..."

Jiang Wan's mouth twitched. His original body's bad reputation also had its advantages, at least people wouldn't rush to act as a matchmaker.

She said with a firm expression: "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I have never thought of remarrying, not in this life."

Ye Dahe waved his fist and said, "If anyone dares to be a matchmaker for my mother again, be careful or we brothers will come to beat them up."

Ye Erhai stood in front of Jiang Wan and said, "My mother will never remarry in her life. Remember this. Don't offend my mother in the future!"

"That sounds nice..." Aunt Liu said with disdain, "Everyone knows that you and Ye Youcai quarrel every day. You were never considerate when he was alive, and why are you pretending to be affectionate after he died... I don't care whether you remarry or not. If you dare to hook up with my man again, I'll tear your face off..."

"Mrs. Liu, how come you have a human face but don't do human things?" Old Madam Ye walked out of the crowd. "When Liu Dazhuang was a teenager, he liked to tease the girls in the village. We in the Ye family don't look down on shameless people like him! If you have the time to cause trouble for Mrs. Dahe, you might as well keep an eye on your own man and don't let him out to disgust others!"

The onlookers began to list all the bad things Liu Dazhuang had done in the past.

Liu Dazhuang's face was greener than the water in the ditch. He turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.

Aunt Liu quickly followed and cursed: "You bastard, you went to talk to that widow when so many people were watching. You humiliated me in front of the whole village. What do you think of me? I've been working like a slave for your family, and you..."

"Shut up!" Liu Dazhuang's face was scary. "You stinky woman have made me lose face. Don't get in my way!"

He pushed Aunt Liu away and walked away.

Aunt Liu was so angry that she stood on the edge of the field and cursed. After cursing for a few quarters of an hour, she finally felt a little better.

Liu Dazhuang left the ridge and went straight into a dilapidated yard. He threw a woman's dress aside. Not long after, heavy breathing sounds came from the house...

The crowd on the ridge of the field gradually dispersed.

The men, who had worked for more than two days, went back to rest, while the women carried water to irrigate the front and back of the house, preparing to plant something in the vegetable garden.

Jiang Wan walked towards Gu Xiaohui: "Xiaohui, you and Xiaofang should collect the herbs on the ground. Let's go to the town while it's still early."

"Okay." Gu Xiaohui knew that she was going to exchange these herbs for money, and she felt excited.

Jiang Wan went to ask Ye Dahe to go to the village to borrow an ox cart. Although only seven kilograms of herbs were dried, they should be able to make a small profit.

Soon, the family of seven set out on the road to town.

Jiang Wan planned to use the money earned from selling herbs to buy clothes for his family. This was money earned through honest means, so no one would say anything.

There was only one clinic in the town, so Jiang Wan got off the ox cart and walked straight in.

When the medicine boy saw her come in, he immediately asked, "Are you here to take my pulse or get me medicine?"

Jiang Wan shook his head slightly: "I have some herbs here, would you like to buy them?"

"I'm going to ask something in the back. Please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Soon a middle-aged man came out from behind the curtain and asked, "Excuse me, are you selling herbs?"
