Chapter 26: Bao Ruoan, who was washed away by the flood (2)
"Tsk." The mean woman turned her head and continued to eat melon seeds. Hao Xin was a little embarrassed. After all, she was really eating a meal at someone's house now.
"Thank you, Mrs. He, for your concern. I'm much better. I wonder if there is anything I can help?" Hao Xin's only gladness was that she could understand the language here. In fact, not every world spoke Chinese before. There were some similar dialects, most of which were in Mandarin. She didn't care much about it before, because the original owner gave her a plug-in of the language. Although this time, although there was no memory of the original owner, she could understand and still speak. It was probably the golden finger given by the wish book.
"No, no, you can just have a good rest." Mrs. He shook her head quickly. How could Hao Xin help? It was obvious that Hao Xin was not an ordinary person with such a temperament.
"If you really want to help, won't you do it directly? Didn't you see that the yard is dirty? You don't want to sweep it with a broom by yourself, so is it necessary to ask?" He Ersao said sarcastically again.
"Second brother and sister, it's so late, aren't you going to prepare lunch yet? If your parents come back, they will probably be very angry when they see you still sitting here." Mrs. He scolded loudly.
"Tsk." When Hao Xin thought this person would continue to criticize her, she cut her and got up and went to the kitchen. It seemed that she had misunderstood. Although this person looked mean, she was not the chaotic wife.
Hao Xin looked at it and walked to the other side to sweep the floor with a broom. The shoes on her feet were also from Mrs. He. They were a little big. The original owner's feet were very small and seemed to be wrapped, but they were not the kind that folded their feet, but the kind that wrapped them up when they were young and did not allow them to grow.
However, there is no deformity. It is obvious that the bone age of a girl should be 15 years old, but her feet look like a child of seven or eight years old. Her feet are a little small, which makes her walk a little unstable. When she discovered it before, she realized that this world might be more harsh to women. In fact, in ancient times, it was not very tolerant of women.
"You don't need a girl to help here, you'd better go and rest." Mrs. He hurriedly stopped him, how could Hao Xin do the sweeping work?
"Actually, I can still help." Hao Xin felt that it was impossible for him to do nothing here, eat and drink for nothing.
"You are a guest, how can you make these things?" Mrs. He insisted very much. Seeing this, Hao Xin could not do it, so she could only compromise. Forget it. At worst, she could find some ways to help the family get rid of poverty and become rich.
Since she couldn't help, Hao Xin decided to go to the village to take a look and said to Mrs. He. She did not object. She just said she should be careful. Hao Xin nodded and went out. Every household here is not close to each other. The whole village is in a valley, surrounded by mountains and a river passes through the mountains. She should have been washed up from this river.
There are not many families here. Along the way, there are only more than 50 families here, most of which are thatched huts, which look very poor. The rice stubble has been harvested in the ground, and there are still some things that have not been harvested. She checked the ears of the rice, but found that half of the ears on the bunch of rice were empty.
What kind of harvest can such rice have? I wonder what the reason is? Is it because of the lack of fertility or the rice here is not good? "Hey, why are you like this? Pick other people's ears of rice!" At this moment, a man suddenly rushed over and pointed at Hao Xin's nose and cursed.
When Hao Xin rushed over, he had already taken a few steps back to avoid being hit. When he looked up, he found that he was a middle-aged woman. "I'm sorry, aunt, I just looked at the ears here, not wanting to pick your rice ears."
The woman looked at Hao Xin and said, "You are the woman He Yuan picked up?" The village is so big, everyone knows each other, and the strange face of Hao Xin was suddenly seen. The story of He Yuan picking up a girl by the river before also spread in the village. I heard that he was still a big lady, and they all said that He Yuan was lucky.
Hao Xin didn't know who was far away? But it could be guessed that it should be her savior, so she blinked, "If there were no other people who were washed over by the water, I should be right."
"Okay, if it's you, I'll forgive you for not seeing curiosity." The woman continued to say, "It seems that your body is great."
"Yes, it's much better." Hao Xin smiled.
Seeing her smile, the woman whispered: vixen. Then she said, "Since you have survived with great fortune, please go with He Yuan in the future. He Yuan is the best young man in our Hejia Village."
"Ah?" Hao Xin felt that she might have heard it wrong, what does it mean to be with He Yuan? Wait, she felt that she might have misunderstood something.
"What, He Yuan is the only scholar in our Hejia Village. He will be a scholar in the future. It's really a bargain." The old lady said and gave her a look in anger.
Hao Xin didn't speak anymore, but listened to the old lady nagging a lot. After she left because she had something to do, she began to think about this matter. It was said that poor mountains and rivers were out of troublemakers. The villagers were not only simple, but also many of them were ignorant and fearless. In such a place she fell into, would she still expect the villagers here to rescue her with kindness?
Think about it carefully, as for her attitude towards Aunt Zhou and Mrs. He and Mrs. He Ersan, it is not because they believe that they are their daughter-in-law and brother-in-law, right? It’s not like that, why do the villagers see her like this?
Hao Xin felt that he was not bad at seeing people, so he didn't ask after he went back, but observed it for a few days. After a few days, He Yuan came back and went to the town to study. He could only come back on a five-day holiday a month.
He Yuan is a man who looks very strong. He doesn’t look like a scholar, but rather a warrior. When he saw Hao Xin, he said to her, “I’ve asked about Tongzhou for you, but I had only had a lot of floods before. Now Tongzhou is very chaotic and difficult to inquire.”
Tongzhou is the prefecture of their area, which is a distance from here, but if you walk on the water, it is only a day away to go upstream. This is also the reason why Hao Xin will be washed here. It has rained here before, but there is no flood due to the terrain. Instead, some things often rush down from the upstream. Hao Xin is not the first person to be washed here.
