Chapter 168: Village Gossip

In the past two days, Xia Yiruo has been relatively idle, after all, he is the shopkeeper and gives everything to others, except for going to the town every once in a while to give needles to Mrs. County Ling, the rest of the time is at home, of course, this is also because Xia Yiruo is about to get married, He Yinglian does not allow Xia Yiruo to run around like crazy anymore, but recently there are some rumors in the village, saying that Xia Yiruo is not disciplined and goes to the town with men every day.

"Mother, what's wrong with you, why are you unhappy." Xia Yiruo held the child in the sun, looked at He Yinglian who came in with a depressed face, and asked suspiciously.

"Alas, it's not your lobby brother's marriage yet." He Yinglian also sat next to Xia Yiruo.

Xia Yiruo's eyes moved slightly, could he have done something again? "What's wrong with the marriage?"

"Your grandmother is determined to marry the girl in the town for your lobby brother, but the girl's family asked for a dowry of thirty taels before she was willing to marry your lobby brother, yesterday you were not there, your grandmother came to your father and mother to ask for money, we said there was no money, as a result, there were all kinds of gossip in the village today." He Yinglian's face was sad, she was also her son and daughter-in-law, why did she treat her so differently.

Needless to say, Xia Yiruo also knew what kind of gossip would be spread in the village, it was nothing more than that their family was rich and noble, and they didn't recognize their poor relatives or something.

"Mother, how much silver did Grandma say we were going to give yesterday?" Xia Yiruo asked.

"Twenty taels." He Yinglian replied sullenly.

Xia Yiruo sneered, "They dare to think about it!" ”

"Mother, if they come again to ask for silver, they will go back as they said last time, and as for the gossip in the village, I will deal with it." Xia Yiruo said in a deep voice.

"Well, don't worry, my mother is not so stupid."

Seeing that He Yinglian can still carry it clearly, Xia Yiruo will be relieved, as for Xia Dongliang, He Yinglian should also look at it.

Recently, the village has been spreading how rich and noble their family is, how forgetful they are, they built a big house, and they also invited a maid, which is really magnificent, so rich that they don't even help the people in the village.

Xia Yiruo brought Yin Dong and some food to the village chief, and left Yin Xia behind to prevent Lao Xia's family from coming to the door, Yin Xia is more clever and knows how to deal with it.

The village chief was also a little surprised when he saw Xia Yiruo, "Ruo girl, why are you here." ”

"Grandpa the village chief, I have something to talk to you about." Xia Yiruo handed the things to the village chief's wife and said with a smile.

"Okay, if there's anything to do, just say it." The village chief is very optimistic about Xia Yiruo, at least their family is not too bad to be separated, but it is getting better and better, and they are still taking a maid with them when they go out!

"Grandpa the village chief, Ruo'er originally wanted to do something for the village, but the gossip that came out of the village recently made Ruo'er feel cold, and at the same time, it also made outsiders feel that the reputation of the village was not good, and some things were reconsidered, whether they could be handed over to such a person." Xia Yiruo looked distressed.

The village chief chuckled in his heart, looking at Xia Yiruo's appearance, it must have brought something beneficial to the entire village, how could he miss it like this!

"Ruo girl, you also know that there are some people in the village who like to arrange some things like that, but if the girl is relieved, the village chief and grandfather will definitely warn them, and they will ruin the reputation of the village." The village chief promised.
