Chapter 138 Getting to Know the Village Women

Building a thatched hut is different from building a house. There is no need to lay a foundation. As long as there are enough building materials, it can be built quickly. Wei Jingyi and his colleagues chose to use bamboo as the supporting frame for their thatched hut, thatch for the roof, and straw used to make straw raincoats for the walls. Straw has a thick texture and hydrophobic properties, which can prevent rainwater from seeping into the house.

The strong laborers in the village may not know anything else, but they are good at building thatched huts. In just over an hour, the two families had built a thatched hut each. Seeing that there was still early time, they started to build the second one in full swing. Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan also led the men in the family to help.

"Come on, let's go out for a walk."

Bored, Shen Xiangwan got up with the cub. They would be living here for a long time in the future, so it was time to try to get in touch with the villagers.

"Second sister-in-law, I want to go too."

Seeing this, Wei Ling'er also jumped up to them. She had wanted to go for a walk in the village for a long time. It was too hot outside and she was afraid of meeting someone she shouldn't meet.

"I also···"

Zhao Yuping was about to stand up as well, but Shen Xiangwan shook her head helplessly: "Then let's go out together and get to know the people in the village."

As they were talking, Shen Xiangwan had already left the main room with the cub. Zhao Yuping and her son looked at each other and took steps at the same time. When they walked out of the yard, the two guards followed them silently, but they did not follow too closely, just following not too close, to ensure their safety no matter what the circumstances.

"Late night!"

It was not far from the Wei family to the end of the village, about a hundred meters. Not long after Shen Xiangwan and the others went out, Jiang, who was squatting on her own homestead, stood up with a whoosh. Due to her sudden movement, her body couldn't help but sway, but she didn't care about that. She almost stared at Shen Xiangwan who was talking and laughing with Zhao Yuping and her daughter.

When Shen Xiangwan almost strangled her to death, Jiang knew that she hated them and didn't want to care about them at all. However, seeing that their life was getting harder and harder, and they couldn't even afford to eat, she couldn't help but have a little hope in her heart. What if, what if her Wanwan was willing to forgive her? After all, she was her biological mother, wasn't she?
Because of her sudden excitement, Shen Xiangyue, Xie Yunyun and others also saw Shen Xiangwan. They also had expectations in their hearts, especially Shen Xiangyue. She even stretched her neck to look behind Shen Xiangwan, as if she was looking for Wei Chengyi. Obviously, she had not given up the idea of ​​hooking up with him.

"Mom, should we go over and say hello?"

Not seeing Wei Chengyi, Shen Xiangyue quickly concealed her disappointment and looked at Jiang with pretended understanding. They had not eaten since last night and were starving. She did not expect Jiang to be able to coax Shen Xiangwan, as long as she could borrow some money from her and get something to eat.

"us?"

Turning her head to look at her, Jiang curled her lips in mockery. Who doesn't know that her Wanwan dislikes her the most? If she really takes her there, won't Wanwan be even more annoyed with them? It's a pity that she woke up too late. If she listened to the master and expelled Shen Xiangyue early, maybe they would have coaxed Wanwan long ago, and the master and his men would not have died for a mere two hundred taels of silver.

Those who love you want you to live, and those who hate you want you to die. This sentence was tailor-made for Jiang. How much she doted on Shen Xiangyue in the past, how much she hated her now.

"mother?"

Shen Xiangyue pretended to be surprised, but in her heart she wanted to jump up and slap her twice. Damn it, how dare she humiliate her like this? If she had a way out in the future, she would definitely take revenge.

"Bitch!"

Seeing this, Xie Yunyun spat fiercely. Although her man was dead, she still had not forgotten how Shen Xiangyue took advantage of her sister's status to seduce her man. The more embarrassed she was, the happier she was. She wished her mother-in-law would be more cruel, and it would be best if she could just kick her out of the Shen family.

"It's quite lively here." While they were fighting, Shen Xiangwan had already taken the children to the gathered villagers.

"Ah, you are from that family?"

The first woman who discovered them screamed, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. Not all farmers were good, but most of them were relatively simple and honest. They were grateful from the bottom of their hearts to Wei Chengyi's guards for hiring them to work, and they were only curious about them, without any negative emotions such as disgust or rejection.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Xiangwan, you can call me Wanwan, this is my mother-in-law Zhao Yuping, my aunt Wei Linger, and my nephew Wei Yunan."

Shen Xiangwan had a friendly and easygoing smile on her face. She waved her hand to greet them and did not forget to introduce Zhao Yuping, her daughter and the little cub. They were born into prominent families and it would be difficult for them to integrate into the villagers. She had given them a head start, and the rest was up to them.

"Hello, we are now members of Yong'an Village. Please take care of us."

Zhao Yuping stood out calmly and gracefully, and after she finished speaking, she bowed politely, showing the upbringing and tolerance of a woman from a large family. However, the villagers all took a step back in unison. Zhao Yuping's smile froze on her face, and Wei Ling'er, who was about to greet them, could not help but freeze, not knowing whether she should continue.

Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but hold his forehead, let go of the little cub, put his arm around Zhao Yuping's shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, my mother-in-law scared you. We just arrived in Yong'an Village and we're still a little uncomfortable."

Strictly speaking, Zhao Yuping did nothing wrong. She was just habitually displaying the proper manners. However, she seemed to have forgotten that this was Yong'an Village, not the imperial city. The more well-mannered and magnanimous she displayed, the more uncomfortable the villagers became, and they even developed emotions of rejection and fear.

"Wanwan is right. I am just like you now, just an ordinary village woman."

Zhao Yuping was not stupid either. She understood the crux of the problem almost instantly. She quickly put away her graceful demeanor and faced them as friendly as possible. At the same time, she quietly reminded herself not to make the same mistake again, otherwise, they would probably never be able to integrate into the village.

"It's okay, it's okay. We are a little uncomfortable with it too."

Everyone was still a little reserved. The village woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties kept waving her hands. Although she had expressed herself as best as she could, her expression and movements were still a little stiff.

"Then let's get used to it together."

Shen Xiangwan was like a jack of all trades, taking advantage of every opportunity and doing his best to narrow the distance between them.

"it is good."

Seeing that she was indeed easygoing, the villagers also relaxed a lot. Shen Xiangwan took the child by the hand and looked forward very naturally: "Everyone is moving so fast. It has only been a short time, and two thatched houses have been built."

"Well, we are peasants, we can't do anything, but we can still build a thatched hut."

Her reaction was really the same as that of an ordinary villager. The woman who had spoken earlier naturally took over the conversation, and her expression and tone were basically normal.
