After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

In the evening, Aunt Xie came back with Maodan and Xie Jing Xiaohu.

The four of them looked unhappy.

Jiang Wan asked them to sit down and told the story slowly.

"Aunt Si, how is your inquiry going?"

Before Fourth Aunt Xie could finish her words, Xie Jing said indignantly with a stern face, "We have been wandering around the village for the whole afternoon and found that the rumor is getting more and more exaggerated. Many people even named you and said that you are the protagonist of the rumor!"

Xie Jing was twelve years old, so he naturally knew the harmful power of rumors.

When Xie's father and mother passed away, Xie Lan insisted on dividing the family property, which resulted in him being looked down upon and ridiculed by many villagers.

He was only six or seven years old at that time, but he still remembers it vividly.

Although he still doesn't like Jiang Wan very much now, he is slowly accepting her and regards her as a member of the family.

Now, some people are blatantly spreading rumors and slandering Jiang Wan for losing her virginity before marriage.

Not only did he maliciously slander Jiang Wan, he also slapped his eldest brother hard in the face several times.

Xie Jing ran around the village for the entire afternoon and was very angry.

Xiaohu is about the same age as Xie Jing, and has been begging for so long, so he naturally knows how terrible rumors are.

He was also angry and said, "Sister Wan'er, don't take those rumors to heart, they are just nonsense!"

Seeing that they were angry, Jiang Wan tried to comfort them, saying, "Don't worry. I already know who spread the rumor, and I have thought of a way to deal with it. I will never let the person behind the scenes succeed."

Xie Jing pressed on: "Do you know who it is? Who is it? Tell me! I'm going to go find him and settle the score!"

Xiao Hu also said, "I'm going too!"

Maodan agreed, "I'll go too!"

Jiang Wan smiled helplessly and did not answer them, but asked Fourth Aunt Xie.

"Aunt Si, have you asked who started this rumor in the village?"

Fourth Aunt Xie nodded quickly, "I found out! A few days ago, a boy who came from nowhere was telling stories at the entrance of the village. He was telling this rumor!"

"storytelling?"

Jiang Wan caught the point, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I understand. Fourth Aunt, you've been busy all afternoon and you must be tired. Go back and rest first."

Fourth Aunt Xie said, "I'm not tired! Why is it tiring to just walk for a while? Niece-in-law, I just heard you say that you already know who is spreading rumors and making trouble behind your back. Why don't you tell Fourth Aunt and I will help you make the decision! Fourth Aunt and her whole family have received such a great favor from you. Now someone is deliberately ruining your reputation outside. Fourth Aunt can't just sit back and watch!"

Xie Jing nodded fiercely, "Fourth Aunt is right! We can't let those who do bad things have a good ending!"

Looking at the four stubborn and obstinate faces, Jiang Wan compromised.

"Actually, I am just guessing. There is no definite evidence yet. I need to go to Luohe Town the day after tomorrow to confront him face to face."

"Guessed?" Fourth Aunt Xie was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought hard for a while, then slapped her thigh and said, "Niece-in-law, is it a rumor spread by Mr. Zhang?"

Jiang Wan was a little surprised, but did not deny it. Instead, she asked, "Fourth Aunt, how did you know?"

"Blind! I guessed it was him!"

Fourth Aunt Xie was furious and said unhappily, "A few days ago, Mr. Zhang came to see you and was seen by Maodan. Maodan saw Mr. Zhang being beaten and went back to tell me happily. When I heard that Xiaolan was at home, Mr. Zhang was beaten by you again and didn't get any benefits, so I didn't come. Now think about it, Mr. Zhang might really spread rumors about you!"

"I looked down on Mr. Zhang from the beginning! He is fair-skinned, but too aloof. He looks down on us country folk. He doesn't even think about the fact that his family is also a farmer. You and Xiaolan are married, but he still keeps coming to see you. He is so shameless!"

After Fourth Aunt Xie scolded, she became angrier and angrier. She rolled up her sleeves and went to the Zhang family to settle the score with Sun.

Jiang Wan grabbed her.

"Aunt Si, don't be impulsive. I'm just guessing."

Even though it was almost certain, Jiang Wan didn't want to cause trouble for Fourth Aunt Xie.

She was used to being independent in her previous life and wasn't used to causing trouble for others.

After traveling through the book in this life, she was already very satisfied to meet a father like Jiang Weiran who loved his daughter so much.

"You don't need to guess, you know it was done by that despicable Zhang Xiucai! He calls himself a scholar, a scholar, and a noble man. Pah! I think he is just a villain with a heart smaller than a needle tip!"

In the village in the afternoon, Aunt Xie heard a lot of talk about Jiang Wan.

Those unbearable noises made Aunt Xie very angry.

Thinking of how Jiang Wan had asked Master Wang to build kangs for the villagers and charged him half the wages, Aunt Xie suddenly felt it was not worth it for her.

"My niece, you shouldn't have asked Master Wang to charge the villagers half less for their heated beds. Those gossipy women don't know how to be grateful or care about you. They just make up stories and don't even know how to say a few words for you!"

Fourth Aunt Xie said indignantly.

Jiang Wan, however, expressed her understanding and said, "Aunt, regarding the kang, I wanted to keep the villagers warm in the winter, and I tried my best to build a kang for every household in Lvshui Village, so that they could safely survive the harsh winter and reduce casualties. And I don't expect the villagers to repay me, it's not like I did anything great. Besides, I believe that not all the villagers believe that ridiculous rumor, there must be some who don't believe it."

Her words dissipated some of Aunt Xie's anger.

"You're right. There are indeed only a few people gossiping behind people's backs, and many of them are the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family and members of the Zhang family. The rest are nosy widows and scoundrel bachelors in the village. The village head warned them not to spread rumors this afternoon and reprimanded them severely."

Jiang Wan felt a little warmed, it seemed that her favor to the local leader was not in vain.

Because of the kang incident, the village head's impression of her improved dramatically, and he even spoke up for her, which shows that his original decision was correct.

"Okay, Fourth Aunt, I've got an idea. You don't have to worry about it anymore. You and Maodan should go back quickly. You still have to go to town to sell braised food tomorrow morning."

Speaking of business, Aunt Xie was indeed concerned. She scolded Zhang Caijin a few more times and then took Maodan home.

The two little wolf cubs, Xie Jing and Xiaohu, looked at her angrily, as if waiting for her to give orders.

They would bite whoever Jiang Wan pointed at.

Jiang Wan laughed and said, "Why are you two staring at me? It's getting dark, aren't you going to eat? Go help me light the fire!"

Xie Jing asked unwillingly: "Sister-in-law, I think it was Mr. Zhang who spread the rumor. Why don't you go and settle the score with him now?"

Jiang Wan put her hands on her waist and said, "Don't worry too much, kid. You and Xiaohu have completed your mission. Leave the rest to me."

Xie Jing moved his lips, suddenly thought of something, winked at Xiaohu, and the two of them ran out in tacit understanding.

Jiang Wan couldn't understand what a little boy of this age was thinking, so she followed him to the kitchen.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Jiang Wan was about to cook when Xie Lan came back.

"Wang Wang..."

A small, soft and cute dog barking sound came into Jiang Wan's ears.

Her eyes lit up, she shook off the water droplets on her hands, strode out of the kitchen, and looked up to see a little yellow dog standing on the blue bricks in the yard.
