pastoral life

The bullock cart ran back along the way and met a lot of folks. The village is so big that it is hard to hide any accidents. Basically everyone in the village knew about Wang Mingchuan going to the provincial capital for the exam. Seeing this chattering and laughing family, she couldn't help asking, Mingzhu was afraid that Wang Mingchuan would feel pressured, and rushed back, shouting and shy all the way, making all the neighbors laugh and call him shameless , but in my heart, my favorability for this junior has increased a bit.

Wang Mingchuan just watched from the sidelines, listening to Mingzhu's inner and outer words of protection for him, but the raised corners of his lips could not be smoothed out.

"Why do you look at me like this? But I think you married a shameless man?"

Mingzhu squinted at Mingchuan, but the latter quickly lowered his head and kissed him on the side of his cheek while he was not paying attention.

Pearl:! ! ! !

The little ones stared at Wang Mingchuan with rounded eyes, Xiaohu even covered his eyes with his hand, Mingzhu blushed thoroughly, but he couldn't reason with Wang Mingchuan in front of these children... well, they were originally The registered couple didn't have any theoretical standpoint, they were so angry that they just covered their sleeves and pinched Wang Mingchuan. The latter let Mingzhu pinch him as if he didn't feel any pain. Seeing the deeper smile on Wang Mingchuan's face, someone felt more and more aggrieved.

Calculated, he is actually nearly six years older than Wang Mingchuan, but because of the extremely simple relationship since he was a child, he is not necessarily more mature than Wang Mingchuan. Loved by all kinds of pets, after more than 20 years of smooth sailing, Mingzhu sometimes even feels that Wang Mingchuan has more experience than him. At first, he didn't feel that when he first came to this world, but after getting along for several months, this feeling has become more and more intense.

Here Mingzhu and Wang Mingchuan are having a fight, but there is another person looking at the joy on the faces of the whole family and not pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, I don't know who it is, it turns out to be the poor boys from the Wang family."

A young man was walking on the ridge of the field, and a woman in her thirties stood beside her. When she heard her son's voice, the woman immediately tugged at his sleeves. Unexpectedly, instead of restraining herself, the young man raised his head volume up,

"I've never seen any scholar who is so shameless and skinless, but just after handing in the paper, he put on a look of surety, laughing hard now, until the end of the laugh, he hides and dare not see anyone that day!"

Although the Wang family is not the only ones standing here, Wang Mingchuan is the only one who is literate and has participated in the hospital examination. Although he didn't name his name, anyone with a little discernment can tell who he is talking about, Mingzhu Looking at Wang Mingchuan's face, he felt at ease, but he didn't know where they offended the young man.

"Hey, the Huang family's bastard is biting people there again, Chuanzi, don't pay attention to him, it's not good to look down on people, don't worry about it."

Fang Tiezhu spat at the boy and turned his head to explain to the Wang family,

"The other bastard came to me to borrow an ox cart. I promised you that I would send it to him, so naturally I didn't agree to him again. Who knows that this one is smarter than a needle. Bah, it's hard for him to be a child!"

Mingzhu understood, and took a closer look at the young man. Although she didn't know the young man, the woman standing beside her had some impressions. Some time ago, Wang Dahe injured his leg, and several families came to pay for the money. , and one of them was the woman.

This time it's a combination of old and new hatred.

Mingzhu hugged Wang Xiaotan and Wang Xiaoxi in front of him and didn't want to talk to that person, Wang Mingchuan also signaled his two younger brothers not to cause trouble, the younger ones naturally obeyed, but Wang Xiaohu just made a face at the boy in anger, It was obviously a very ordinary action of a little baby, but it completely pissed off the young man, he ignored the dissuasion of his mother and ran from the field ridge to the middle of the road to stop the ox cart of Mingzhu and others.

"What's the matter, am I wrong? Your family are all scumbags. Knowing that I am expected to be jealous in high school, you will try every means to extort money from my family. Bah, you forced my mother to give away the remaining money in her hand. You have caused me to not even be able to stay in an inn. I thought that I would not argue with you as a scholar, but who would have thought..."

When the young man talked about the point of anger, he walked up to the surrounding villagers and scolded the Wang family.

"Who would have thought that these people would scare the Fang family to bully me together? They wouldn't even let the bullock cart ride, forcing me to get up before dawn and rush to the provincial capital for the exam. Now I lack the energy to perform in the exam room. If they are not satisfied, they will be satisfied, ah! Fellow villagers, please tell me what they will pay if I fail the exam!"

The people standing next to him didn't know what kind of grievances and grievances there were between the two families, but the boy surnamed Huang spoke earnestly and his face was full of grief, which didn't seem to be fake. As downcast as a dead parent, the scale in his heart involuntarily shifted to the young man before he could get his head straight.

"Chuanzi, it's your fault. It was Huang Erwa who hurt your family's Dahe in the Huang family earlier. It has nothing to do with Huang Bing. Huang Bing is also a rare good material. There are many people in our village. It would be more decent for a scholar to speak out, why are you so muddled and messed up?"

There was a half-knowledgeable person who took the first half and made up the second half to preach to Wang Mingchuan. With such an outstanding person, the fellow villagers in the future would fall to Huang Bing's side one after another, talking nonsense, which made Mingzhu Guess some reasons from this scattered information.It turns out that Huang Bing is also a rare student who can read. His status in Xiawan is similar to that of Wang Mingchuan in Shangwan earlier. Everyone praises him for his intelligence. He has shown his face in the academy since he was a child. The neighbors started to call him Huang Xiucai. I thought that with that intelligence, a scholar would be just a bag of money and not easy to catch?Who would have thought that Huang Bing would not perform well in the examination room this time, and seeing the hopelessness of his fame, Huang Bing couldn't help but feel fear. After thinking about it, he always thought that it was impossible to make mistakes with his own talent, and someone must be trying to harm him. But he connected the fact that the Wang family had asked them to pay for the money a few months ago and now they robbed his ox cart. With a slap in the head, he suddenly felt that it was the Wang family's fault that he performed abnormally.

Although this kind of psychological pearl is not to be admired, it is understandable. A person is always praised and successful. What I have heard and seen since I was a child is all smooth sailing and worthy of thumbs. Occasionally, there will be such a big one Failure is unacceptable no matter what, and it is definitely more difficult for him to find problems in his own ability than to reach the sky. Therefore, driven by the instinct of self-protection, pouring dirty water on others is the best way.

So Wang Mingchuan was shot.

"Why did the boss of the Huang family choose Brother Fang's ox cart? Could it be that the Fang family's cattle are stronger and walk more steadily, and you are only used to sitting on this next door, even if it is delivered to your door, you will not be happy." So, even if you risk overwork and fail the exam, you don’t want to settle for it? I don’t know if there are so few ox carts in Xiawan that only Brother Fang’s family has them, or if the other family’s are really far behind.”

Mingzhu chatted and laughed with the villagers around her very easily, but she blatantly put eye drops on Huang Bing. Sure enough, those families with ox carts in Xiawan didn't want to hear it, and now it's not just Fang's family with ox carts in Xiawan Why is their family so unhelpful that people despise it?

Huang Bing was so angry that he was smoking, but his mouth was not as good as Mingzhu, so he couldn't tell the difference, so he pointed at Mingzhu and cursed:

"Ignorant woman, there is no reason for you to interrupt when the elders are talking!"

Mingzhu's face froze. The identity of being a fucking man's wife really hurt his feet, but now he couldn't really tell the difference from Huang Bing. After all, this world really treats a man's wife as a woman.

"Indeed, I ask all the aunts and aunts present to shut up with me, otherwise it won't be nice to be scolded by the Huang family."

The daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the village love to gossip. Women accounted for more than half of the people who accused Wang Mingchuan just now. Being scolded by Huang Bing like this made many people lie down. People's hearts are like this, and the same thing is put on others He just watched the excitement on his body, but he couldn't swallow that breath on his own body, because he felt resentful towards Huang Bing in his heart, and those offended people began to fall on Mingzhu's side, but only a few words After a while, Huang Bing successfully pushed out the supporters who had just won over after a lot of talking.

"Dahe, why did you accidentally let Huang Erwa make something wrong with your own leg?"

"what?"

"Ah what, the next time you encounter the same thing, even if you break Huang Erwa's legs, you can't make trouble yourself, otherwise you will have to pay compensation from the Huang family to hurt you next year." Brother Huang is unhappy in the examination room, what should we do?"

Mingzhu pretended to be joking with Wang Dahe, but the voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it, and those who heard it also felt that Huang Bing was making trouble out of no reason, so the teasing went from small to loud until the woman beside Huang Bing was ashamed Her face was red and she didn't give up, forcing her to pull Huang Bing to go back. Huang Bing was so angry that he wanted to come up to beat Mingzhu, but he accidentally caught Wang Mingchuan's eyes while struggling.

That look made people feel cold all over.

The innate awe of the weak towards the strong is really vividly displayed at this moment. He used to think that Wang Mingchuan was just a superficial appearance and not very capable. Because the two were compared since they were young, he was always unconvinced and even a little He looked down on Wang Mingchuan, but now he was so frightened that his legs were weak at the first sight, and although he was depressed, he couldn't help but want to run away, so he stopped struggling and let his own mother pull him away.

After this farce was exposed, the Wang family began to live as normal as before the hospital examination, but the peaceful days in the village will not last long. The rumors have grown wildly like weeds since Xiawan, and when they reached Mingzhu and the others, they had become Wang Mingchuan's studies were delayed due to an accident at home, and seeing that his fame was hopeless, he had to drag all the scholars from the same village into the water. First, Huang Bing suffered, and some scholars from the same village came out one after another, saying that they were implicated by Wang Mingchuan and lost their standards. .Originally, Wang Mingchuan had a very good reputation in the village, but as the saying goes, people’s mouths can burn gold and destroy bones. No matter how good his reputation is, he can’t stop people from coming out to spread rumors. In fact, for a while, the villagers saw that the Wang family was not as warm as before. Except for those who were usually close to each other, such as Aunt Jiang and Li Sanniang, the others were more or less alienated from the Wang family.

You can't just say a clever word in everything. If Huang Bing ran out to pick things up, it could still be called an accident, but what happened later is inseparable from others. Mingzhu couldn't think of a way to justify Wang Mingchuan's name. Fortunately, he himself is calm, and he does the farm work outside as well as he should do. When he meets acquaintances, he should greet him normally. The old man also asked himself why.

The days passed slowly, and the situation of the Wang family being isolated and excluded continued until the day when the results of the college examination came out.
