At noon, people in the market began to walk back in twos and threes. While packing up her things, Mao Mingzhu cursed, "What's going on these days? The eggs can't be sold out every time..."

She didn't sell out last time, and she didn't sell out this time, and she still had more than half of the basket, and now she felt very annoyed.

Mao Xiaosui said nothing, fanning himself with a bamboo hat in one hand and squinting at the bridge.

After waiting for a while, other people in the village also came. When Mao Mingzhu asked, she found that no one had sold out, and her expression became better.

On the way back, Zhang Zhi suddenly said, "Li Xiaoru really hurt Wang Dong this time."

"What's wrong with Wang Dong?"

"I heard about it too..." Zhang Zhi's voice became much softer unconsciously, "Wang Huacheng asked the matchmaker to marry him again."

Everyone else was shocked when these words came out. It is difficult for a countryman to marry one woman, but it is unheard of for a rich man to marry two...

"Who said that? Is it true or false?"

"Who else could it be? Lame Granny."

"Who is that?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

"There is a matchmaker at your uncle Qi's house. She walks with a limp, so she is called Cripple Woman."

"Is it far?"

"It's not far. It's just behind our village and over the mountain."

"Who said this? Is it reliable?"

"She's from Cripple Po's village. I met her when we were just setting up a stall. She said she was from our village. Her name was Wang. I guess she was Wang Huacheng."

Mao Xiaosui understood. "Could it be what happened yesterday? He left from the other side of the river in the morning. You should have seen it. Anyway, when I met him halfway yesterday, I found that he was quite happy and ignored me. , I still felt strange at the time.”

"It was yesterday." Zhang Zhi said, "Your Uncle Qi and I went to his uncle's house a few years ago. That person knew me. This is rare in our area. I didn't know about it until she told me."

"What about Li Xiaoru? Divorce?"

"Hunt up?" Mao Mingzhu gloated, "She was married with money, so how can she divorce her? Even though Li Xiaoru is old... she can still be a mother-in-law to some widowers."

"Isn't that true?" Mao Xiaosui was surprised. "Wang Dong and Wang Shuang are both so old. If he sells Li Xiaoru, won't it make Wang Dong hate him?"

"This Wang Dong is definitely not Wang Huacheng's son, otherwise he wouldn't be able to marry again."

"That's not true. If he really wasn't his son, shouldn't he have been kicked out long ago?"

"Then what are you talking about? If this Wang Dong really turns out to be his seed king, can he get another wife?"

Mao Xiaosui frowned. There was no way to identify relatives in ancient times. Li Xiaoru's unfaithfulness had become a fact, so there was only one possibility... Wang Huacheng felt a knot in his heart.

"I guess I feel sick."

Everyone stared at her.

"Li Xiaoru's infidelity is a certainty. Who does this Wang Dong belong to...Wang Huacheng can't tell for sure. Rather than keep guessing, it's better to have another one of his own. I guess that's what he thinks."

Lu Feng nodded, "I think what Xiao Sui said is possible."

"Then Wang Huacheng marries his new wife Wang Dong, does that mean he gets out?"

"I don't know, but Li Xiaoru won't be sold, at least until Wang Shuang comes back."

Everyone disagreed and yelled, "Where did Wang Shuang get her good fortune..."

Mao Xiaosui saw it in his eyes and thought to himself that no one wanted to see you rise to fame. He wished he could stay in the village all his life and be like them.

She didn't say anything, and just listened to them discussing Li Xiaoru's miserable end along the way.

The courtyard door at home was closed. She stretched out her hand and pushed it gently and heard something inside fall to the ground. When she pushed the door open, she found that it was a piece of wood.

The yellow millet was drying in the yard, and sacks were laid on the floor where the firewood had been chopped, and the whole yard was covered with sun.

Li Yunshan heard the noise and walked out of the house. When he saw it was her, he said, "There is porridge in the kitchen."

Mao Xiaosui put the basket in the food room, washed the handles and face before entering the kitchen.

The porridge was placed in a wooden bowl and placed in a pot. There was water in the pot and it was still hot to the touch.

She looked at Li Yunshan and asked with a smile, "Is it specially heated?"

Li Yunshan nodded and asked, "Why so late?"

"Auntie and the others are delayed in selling eggs."

"Is the one at home sold out?"

"Twenty get one for free." She took a mouthful of porridge and looked at Li Yunshan, "If you don't give it away, you won't be able to sell it at all. Auntie and the others didn't sell out last time, and they didn't sell much this time. Most of the basket was left and they couldn't bear to eat it. It's such a day. It’s easy to lose heat, so it’s better to sell it.”

"We will save it and sell it slowly when the weather gets colder in October, and we won't give it away then."

"I didn't mean to scold you." Li Yunshan was helpless.

"I know." She whispered back, "I have to explain it to you, otherwise I won't be able to explain to you if I'm short of a few copper coins."

"...I didn't count." Li Yunshan's face darkened, and then he added, "I don't know if it's less."

"Don't you count?" she asked in a low voice, "Weren't you so diligent in counting before?"

Li Yunshan was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to her. He stood up, took a stick and scratched the grains, stirred them one by one, and then went back to the house.

After Mao Xiaosui finished eating and washed the dishes, he blocked the door and went to bed.

Li Yunshan was not asleep yet. When she lay down, he turned over to face her and asked hesitantly, "I used to be very stingy?"

"Stingy." Mao Xiaosui glanced at his face, and when he saw that he was not angry, he said with some resentment, "I won't let him eat this, and he won't let him eat that. He's extremely stingy..."

"It's not like I'm not allowed to eat..." He suddenly didn't know how to explain it.

He was just afraid that Mao Xiaosui wouldn't want to stay or... thought that it would cost a lot of money to marry him in the future, which would be more economical, but he couldn't say this.

Mao Xiaosui stared at him. Seeing that he was really embarrassed, he patted his arm and said, "I don't have to ask. If you don't want to say it, just forget it."

Li Yunshan watched her close her eyes. He hesitated for a while and finally decided to be calm.

"I'm afraid you won't want to stay with me. I had a bad reputation before. It would cost more than ten taels to marry a wife..."

After he finished speaking and waited for a while but there was no response, he reached out and patted her face. He found that she had fallen asleep long ago, and he felt a little annoyed.

He stared at her sleeping form for a while, and finally smiled helplessly.
