"Her? How could she do this? No, I have to go find her." Upon hearing this, Yang Lele patted the table and was about to stand up to find Yang Xiuer, but was stopped by Ning Mengyao.
If she went to find Yang Xiuer now, they might not admit it, and they might even say that she had a guilty conscience. In that case, she would wait and see what tricks Yang Xiuer could pull off.
"Why did she say that to you?" Yang Lele was pulled, and she was not happy at first, but after hearing Ning Mengyao's explanation, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
"She came to me to borrow money a few days ago, saying she wanted to build a house. She asked me to lend her a hundred taels, but I didn't." Ning Mengyao said casually, while Yang Lele watched Ning Mengyao's eyes widen. eyes.
One hundred taels? Yang Xiuer really dared to think about it. Her house seemed to have been built not long ago, right? Now she wants to build as big a house as she can to spend so much money.
"She really dares to think."
Ning Mengyao smiled and didn't answer, but she just dared to think about it, didn't she
Because of Ning Mengyao's silence, the rumors became more and more intense. Up to now, only six or seven children are still literate in Ning Mengyao's place. Among them are Lin'er, Xiao Mu, and Yang Zhi. The rest are just a few in the village. A child from a poor family.
They came here every day and studied very seriously, until one day, Lin'er said with a puzzled face: "Sir, why do those people outside say this about you?"
They spent the most time with Ning Mengyao. Apart from Yang Lele, they never saw anyone else here, let alone a man, but things were spread like this.
"If others are willing to talk, I won't stop them." Ning Mengyao put down the book in her hand and said.
Xiao Mu frowned and said, "But Gou Wa Zi and his mother also said bad things about you, sir." So much so that Gou Wa Zi and the others no longer come to read together, which makes Xiao Mu very dissatisfied. This is probably what Mr. taught him. of ingratitude.
Ning Mengyao reached out and touched Xiao Mu's head, and said in a funny way: "Everyone has their own ideas. There is a saying that those who are pure will self-purify. I haven't done it, so I haven't done it. As for those who say so, I don't There’s no need to pay any attention to it.”
Lin'er still didn't understand: "Why?"
"The population of Baishan Village is so large. If I argue with everyone who talks about me, it will disturb my normal life." Even if she wants to argue, it is not with those villagers who listen to other people's rumors. , but care about the culprit, but it's not the time to care about it yet.
Lin'er and the others looked at Ning Mengyao, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. If it were them, they would definitely be very angry. When angry, they would definitely make a fuss with others. The constant noise would only make their lives a mess.
"Sir we understand."
"Well, okay, take a good look at these arithmetic problems I gave you."
While Ning Mengyao was teaching the children how to read, most of the villagers in Baishan Village gathered at Yang Zhu's house.
"Village Chief, we can't let people like Ning Mengyao stay here. This will ruin the atmosphere of our village." One of them said angrily.
"That's right. How can we leave such disorderly people in our village?"
Each and every one of you said something to me, and what they said was undoubtedly to drive Ning Mengyao out of here.
Yang Zhu looked at them and waited until they had finished talking before he said, "Are you done?"
When everyone heard this, they felt something was wrong and looked at Yang Zhu and nodded.
"Now that you've finished talking, it's my turn to say it. You said that girl Mengyao ruined our morals. Then I have to ask you, what did she do? Did any of you see her hanging out with strange men?" Yang Zhu looked at them leisurely and asked calmly.
Everyone was a little confused when asked by Yang Zhu.
After Ning Mengyao came to Baishan Village, she seldom walked around the village. After the children went to her place to learn how to read, many people also visited her. No strangers came to their house at all. This...
