The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

Aunt Wang coughed and cleared her throat, then relayed her son's words, "Brother Jiechen, you keep saying you helped Jingyan."

"You keep saying you won't chase her away, but for the past two years, you've been acting like neither husband nor wife, neither brother nor sister."

"You made him work for two years. Are you treating Jingyan like a free horse? Oh, even a landlord wouldn't do that, would you?"

"Everyone, don't you agree?"

Suddenly, everyone started saying all kinds of things.

Aunt Wang continued speaking, her words becoming more and more fluent. "Tsk tsk, everyone knows we are neighbors. No one can see things more clearly than me!"

"Jingyan works day and night all year round without a single break. Is she stupid?"

"Jingyan is not stupid, she just has no one to rely on!"

"Because, without support, there's no one to back her up. Whenever she gets tired and takes a break, Jie Chen will put his hands behind his back and sigh, 'Jing Yan has grown up, it's time to go!'"

"Tsk tsk tsk, listen to me, if it were you, would you still dare to rest?"

At this time, some neighbors were pointing and talking at Jie Chen, and Jie Chen clenched his hands!

Jie Chen took a deep breath and said slowly, "I've already said that I'm only trying to help her avoid trouble. I don't intend to marry her, nor have I ever promised to marry her. If she wants to marry, I'll naturally agree."

What he meant was that Jingyan was clinging to him and refused to leave, completely ignoring the fact that Jingyan was helpless. Was he really going to let a grown-up girl take the initiative to find a man?

The neighbor lady was so angry that she was shaking. She asked sarcastically, "Oh my, from what you said, it's actually Jingyan's fault!"

It is absolutely necessary to abstain from anger. Even though no words are spoken, the meaning is still there.

The neighbor's wife looked the beautiful nun up and down, curled her lips, pinched the man who was staring at her, and said, "Hey, although Jingyan is not very good-looking, she is still a girl after all!"

These words were meaningful, and I understood them and nodded secretly.

But to be honest, that beautiful nun is really pretty, and I don’t know where Jie Chen found her. They also want to save her, hehe.

Another uncle agreed, "Yeah, yeah, you just told her to leave, but you didn't find her a husband. If she goes out alone in this world, what good will she end up with?"

The woman carrying the hoe clapped her hands and said, "Yeah, isn't it the same as before? She worked for two years in vain. Look at you, you're so plump, but Jingyan is uglier than she was two years ago. She looks more like your mother!"

A young man laughed and shouted, "Hahahaha, that's right, aren't you a monk? You are compassionate and kind. Give Jingyan a name and raise her like your mother!"

"Hahaha……"

"..."

"..."

"See? No one is blind. Everyone has clear eyes and bright minds. The only one who is blind is Jingyan!" Aunt Wang stepped forward and patted Jingyan's hand.

Pure words "..."

[Even though they're all speaking up for me, why does it sound so unpleasant?]

[I'm just malnourished and haven't grown up yet. I'm not ugly!]

"Jingyan, don't worry, you can come and live at my house when you leave this door."

"Auntie clearly marked the price, 20 taels of silver a month, the price of a pound of white rice. Auntie is not greedy, she bought just enough rice for my son to drink."

Everyone was about to criticize Aunt Wang for being greedy, but she explained that if they thought about Wang Ban, the sickly man, the price was indeed fair and reasonable, so they stopped talking.

"You can live in my house with peace of mind. You can earn money, and I can save the rest to take good care of... uh, hair." Aunt Wang took a look and really didn't know where to start, so she had to mention the most conspicuous feature.

"Save the remaining money for your dowry. Later, I'll find you a good match. I won't leave you a penny like Jie Chen did!"

Pure words "..."

[…It must have been that bastard Wang Ban’s idea! But she actually agreed to it!]

Jingyan was touched and held Aunt Wang's hand tightly, "Thank you, Auntie, thank you all for speaking up for justice, woo woo woo..."

Everyone felt sorry for her and just helped her to talk nonsense, because they would not take her home anyway. Although she was capable, their family did not have much food.

Jingyan wiped her tears and walked towards Jiechen again. Mo Jiaoer's heart skipped a beat when she saw her posture. She pursed her lips and made up her mind.

"Sister Jingyan, after all, you just want to ask for some money before you leave. Alas, it seems that you have completely forgotten the kindness of your husband when you were so frightened and worried."

"I thought you understood, but honestly I'm quite disappointed."

"How about this, my husband has been your supporter for two years, and I'm afraid he doesn't have any savings. I still have some savings, so I'll give you half!"

She spoke like a living Buddha, and then took out two taels of silver and two large coins from the package.

Mo Jiao'er said softly, "This is all my savings. Sister Jingyan, I'll give you half. The rest is enough for us to live on. What do you think?"

Mo Jiaoer's remarks helped Jie Chen regain most of the face he had dropped on the ground. When the neighbors saw the money, they already looked down on Jing Yan.

Those who are unrighteous have few supporters, while those who are righteous have many supporters. Mo Jiaoer understands this principle very well.

Jing Yan snorted coldly and thrust his hands in front of Mo Jiao'er's face. "See the calluses on my hands? See how I've worn my clothes so hard that the fabric is almost invisible?"
