Jiang Ling thought about the scratches on Shen Congxin's legs and the bruises on her body just now, and she knew that this girl was also very chaste and fierce. If she really kept asking, Shen Congxin would definitely not say anything.

What's more, they had known each other for less than a day, so it was impossible for Shen Congxin to tell Jiang Ling the whole thing without any vigilance.

Jiang Ling nodded to Shen Congxin and said, "Can I call you Congxin?"

Shen Congxin nodded, and Jiang Ling saw it and continued: "Congxin, you can live here with peace of mind, but I am a small family and I am not as good as your family, and I am not as good as your family in terms of food, clothing and housing. I hope Please forgive me! If the neighbor asks, you can just say that you are Jiang Suihe's distant cousin!"

"Jiang Suihe?" Shen Congxin was a little surprised when he heard the name. These two words sound very cultural, how could it be possible for a village woman who doesn't know big characters to pick them up!

Shen Congxin secretly raised his head and looked at Jiang Ling. The aunt in front of him seemed to be different from other farmers. Her skin looked fair and her overall temperament was outstanding.

But Shen Cong knew in her heart that she could not talk too much under the fence, so although she was curious, she could only nod her head.

"You also saw that our house is so big. The new house has just started to be repaired, so I can only feel wronged that you and Suihe are still crowded together!" Jiang Ling continued.

"Auntie, it's nothing. Don't worry, I won't have a temper like a lady!" Shen Congxin nodded and whispered.

The reason why Jiang Ling said everything was to inoculate Shen Congxin. Most of the daughters of this kind of merchant family would have a bit of a temper. Everything, but promised very readily.

"Suihe, go to study with uncle first, mother, I have something else I want to tell your "cousin"!" Jiang Ling glanced out the window, and then dismissed Jiang Suhe!

Jiang Suihe nodded, and said to Shen Congxin: "Cousin, don't worry, my mother will be fine!"

Then he turned and left the house.

"Study? This..." Shen Congxin was taken aback again. Now she felt that Aunt Jiang in front of her was more and more unusual. She would actually encourage her daughter to study. You must know that in this age, even her kind Most merchant families also have boys who are studying, and girls are nothing more than embroidering at home to be female celebrities, reading some books about female virtues such as "Women's Rules" and "Women's Training".

"What's the matter? You also want to go to study with Suihe? But you have to wait. It's very eye-catching for you to appear here suddenly. I'm worried that some gossip will be spread outside. If those thugs really hear it, it won't hurt us." Alright, how about going to school together after you get to know some people in the village in a few days?" Shen Congxin was a child after all, and although his mother taught him not to show emotions when he was a child, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard this kind of thing. Show a shocked expression.

"No...no..." Shen Congxin was about to explain something just now, when a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Ms. Yaojie, are you home?"

The sudden sound startled Shen Congxin, she shivered subconsciously, and shrank towards the foot of the bed.

"Don't be afraid, it's a family next door to us, just call her Aunt Chen later!" Jiang Ling looked at Shen Congxin and comforted her.

Shen Congxin nodded obediently and Jiang Ling walked out of the room.

"Mother Lightning is really sorry today. I was too busy with business and I forgot to buy seeds for you. Don't worry, I will buy them for you tomorrow. How about I send you five more ducklings then?" Jiang Ling knew that Mother Lightning had come to look for them. She must be for the seed thing.

As soon as Jiang Ling finished speaking, Miss Lightning showed disappointment on her face, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile and said: "It's okay, it's okay, so what...Ms. Yaojie, you must bring me tomorrow." Come back!"

"Oh, who is this little girl? She looks so juicy!" Lightning Lady's eyes suddenly fell on Shen Congxin, and she asked in surprise.

"Congxin, Aunt Chen!" Jiang Ling said.

"Chen... Hello, Aunt Chen!" Shen Congxin said cautiously.

"Oh, this little girl is really good. She should be about the same size as our Xiaoyu!" Lightning Lady is also a warm-hearted girl, especially when she sees a fair-skinned and beautiful little girl like Shen Congxin.

"Sui He's distant cousin, came to play with Sui He!" Jiang Ling explained quickly.

"Congxin, if you are exhausted, go to the house and rest first! I'll chat with your Aunt Chen!" Jiang Ling glanced at Shen Congxin behind him and said.

How clever Shen Congxin was, she immediately understood Jiang Ling's intentions. She glanced at Jiang Ling with grateful eyes, said goodbye to Lightning Lady, and ran back into the house by herself.

After Jiang Ling dismissed Mrs. Lightning, she walked into the house. She looked at Shen Congxin whose eyes were still vigilant and continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, it's safe enough here. You can rest for a while. I'll call you for dinner!"

After finishing speaking, before Shen Congxin could say anything else, Jiang Ling got up and left the house.

Shen Congxin was the only one left in the room. For the past two days, Shen Congxin had been frightened, hungry and sleepy. Although she still maintained a high level of vigilance, the great sleepiness gradually hit her, and Shen Congxin's firm will was also destroyed. , She shrank in the corner and leaned against the wall, slowly closing her eyes.

As she fell asleep, Shen Congxin had a dream. She dreamed of her stepmother again. She dreamed that her stepmother forcibly married her to an old and ugly man. When her hijab was lifted, the man unexpectedly With three eyes, Shen Congxin was so frightened that he struggled to sit up from his dream.

It was only then that Shen Congxin realized that she was covered with a quilt. Although the quilt was covered with patches, it didn't have any peculiar smell. Instead, it had a smell that belonged to the sun.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"how……"

"Yaojie go! Men and women are different!"

Three voices came to Shen Congxin's ears at the same time. Jiang Ling and Jiang Suihe walked in. Jiang Yaojie wanted to come in but was kicked out by Jiang Ling.

Jiang Yaojie could only stand at the door with a worried face and look at the door pitifully.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ling sat on the edge of the bed and asked Shen Congxin, who was sweating profusely.

"No...it's nothing." Shen Congxin shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Jiang Ling.

"Suihe, go give my cousin that towel!" Jiang Ling turned her head and said.

Soon Jiang Suhe brought over the towel, and Jiang Ling took the towel and gently wiped the sweat from Shen Congxin's forehead.

"Let's rest for a while, it's still early and I'll call you when dinner is ready!" He said and took Jiang Suhe out of the room.

As soon as Jiang Ling left here, Shen Congxin hid in the bed and began to cry. The scene of Jiang Ling just now was exactly the same as her mother or when she was at that time. Whenever the summer was hot, Shen Congxin's mother would gently help her with a towel Shen Congxin wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Thinking of this, Shen Congxin's heart felt like a knife, so she could only bite her lip hard to keep herself from crying. I don't know how long Shen Congxin had been crying, but Shen Congxin slowly fell asleep again.

Shen Congxin thought that no one had seen the scene just now, but she didn't know that Jiang Ling had already seen it all. She sighed helplessly and said to Sui He, "Sui He, spend more time with this girl in the future."
