My 1995 Small Farm.

It's one thing to say he had a mistress.

He even said he could ride an eagle into people's homes to steal money. That's ridiculous! Does he think he's some kind of legendary hero?

But then again...

The most damaging of these is undoubtedly the first one, Chen Ling, who kept a concubine.

Any man with a bit of fame, regardless of age, is often associated with romantic affairs with women.

The more exciting and sensational the content, the more people will believe it.

It is also the fastest and widest to spread.

No one would believe that you could fly on an eagle.

But if you say that Chen Ling kept a mistress, a large number of people would definitely believe it.

These past two days, Wang Susu and her two children have just returned to the village, and quite a few people have come to visit. In addition, people have come to hold the puppies that Zhao Gang brought.

Various people came, and some who knew about these things didn't say anything, thinking that it was normal for Chen Ling to be young and rich and have a bit of fun.

Some people might say a few words, but of course, they wouldn't say it to Chen Ling, but to Shanmao, Zhao Gang, or the villagers who were harvesting straw in the fields.

After all, the new agricultural machinery in Chenwangzhuang is quite a sight to behold recently.

When people gather around, they'll naturally start gossiping.

That's how it got to Chen Ling's ears.

Chen Ling was washing diapers for the second and third babies, while Wang Susu and a room full of young women and wives were drinking juice that Chen Ling had squeezed for them and talking about this.

"Everyone in the village knows how much Fugui spoils Susu. I don't know who is so malicious as to spread these rumors outside, and so many people believe them."

Du Juan said irritably.

Wang Susu was initially very angry, but now that she had come to her senses, she didn't care much anymore. Leaning against the bed, she was still smiling with her eyes half-closed: "Those who speak ill of our family definitely don't understand. Sister Qiumei and Sister Xiaoyun came to our house to see me, not to see A-Ling."

This is also true.

Although Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun both met Chen Ling first.

But they became acquainted later because Zhao Dahai and Qin Qiumei were sworn siblings.

They truly became close because of his relationship with Wang Susu.

Wang Susu was young, and after marrying into the family, she had no close friends to confide in.

For the past two years, she was pitifully naive. Apart from staying with Chen Ling and taking care of things at home and in the fields, she rarely went out, just like a clueless little rabbit.

Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun were also willing to associate with such a younger sister.

So whenever he had free time, he liked to ride his bike to Chenwangzhuang to look for Wang Susu.

"No, it's one thing for us to know, but the key is that others don't believe it. My parents-in-law were shocked when they heard that I was having an affair with Fugui."

My mother-in-law even went into the room to touch my stomach, afraid I was pregnant with a rich child.

Zhong Xiaoyun and the other person were also there today.

It's both funny and sad to talk about this.

Upon hearing this, Wang Susu realized that the trouble this matter brought to her family wasn't that great. After all, Chen Ling was a man, and in the established understanding, no matter how you looked at it, Chen Ling wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

The woman he had a relationship with, and her family, are in big trouble.

Wang Susu immediately realized that she had underestimated the situation.

She apologized to her two best friends with a face full of remorse, and then asked about Qin Qiumei's situation.

"Amei is fine, though. She's pretty, and her husband is away from home all year round. He also does this unpleasant job at the family planning office, so people have been gossiping about her for a while now."

Her in-laws had long since become accustomed to it.

Seeing that Wang Susu felt somewhat guilty, Zhong Xiaoyun tried to lighten the mood.

That is indeed the case.

Qin Qiumei naturally understood what Zhong Xiaoyun meant, and rolled her eyes as she said, "You're one to talk! Your little Yudian is still debating whether or not to let Uncle Chen be her father after she found out what people are saying about you and Fugui."

Wang Susu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Ling hung the diapers out to dry and came back, saying, "I don't know what the person who spread this rumor was thinking. Saying that I'm keeping a mistress, they don't even look at who's older or younger than me, and they just spread nonsense."

This alone makes it unbelievable.

Qin Qiumei and the other woman were furious when they heard this.

Zhong Xiaoyun was much more aggressive than Qin Qiumei. She came over and tried to kick Chen Ling, grabbing his ear: "So, Chen Fugui, you dare to call us old men? I think you're asking for it."

Chen Ling quickly begged for mercy and tried to escape.

This caused all the young women and wives in the room to giggle.

Even the two little ones lying next to Wang Susu opened their eyes, their little mouths opening and closing, babbling incomprehensible baby talk.

"By the way, you haven't told us yet, besides me and Amei, who is the concubine people say you have in Beijing?"

Zhong Xiaoyun pressed for more information.

"This... I don't know which one they're referring to either."

Chen Ling was stumped upon hearing this. He glanced at Wang Susu, who was also deep in thought.

She said, "Among the people we've been interacting with in Beijing these past two years, there are very few women. Apart from Sister Yueru, there's only Huining from the Yu family."

Suddenly Wang Susu paused and looked at Shen Jiayi, who was guarding Rui Rui playing with the little turtle outside the door: "You're not talking about Jiayi, are you? Jiayi is so pretty, they don't know that Jiayi is a celebrity, and some people don't know that the sleepwalking ghost is Jiayi. She's been living in our house for a long time, so they're just talking nonsense."

"..."

Chen Ling was speechless: "What's there to guess? They're just trying to slander us and throw mud at me. The more anxious and serious we are, the more arrogant the bad guys become."

Don't worry about it for now. I'll find the bastard who did this behind my back and teach him a lesson.

"Kang Kang, Lele, your dad is so amazing! He can not only wash your diapers, but also beat up bad guys."

Zhong Xiaoyun lay down on the bed and played with the two babies.

She and Qin Qiumei had proposed naming the children long ago.

I prepared quite a few in advance.

However, none of them were used.

The third child, a boy, seemed to have had his "fertile crops stolen" in the womb; he was born thin and small, looking malnourished, and far inferior to his older sister.

So they gave the third child the nickname "Kang Kang".

May he grow up healthy and strong.

The second child is a girl, so her nickname is 'Lele', because girls should be happy.

"Lele, Kang Kang, Auntie gives you a kiss."

Qin Qiumei also joined in.

As it turns out, the third son, Kang Kang, despite his small stature, had a terrible temper and would burst into tears whenever a stranger approached.

Like his older brother Rui Rui, he recognized people very early.

The second child, Lele, was a chubby little girl who was very well-behaved and allowed the two aunties to be affectionate with her.

"Lele is so well-behaved. She's also very brave. When she grows up, she'll definitely be a lively and adorable little girl like Zhenzhen."

"Don't."

While breastfeeding her crying third child, Wang Susu said, "I can't keep an eye on Zhenzhen, who's like a little rascal."

"Having Rui Rui causing trouble is already annoying enough; if another one comes along, it'll be unbearably annoying."

Seeing that the women were chatting and that he had finished washing the diapers and had nothing else to do, Chen Ling went out to take Rui Rui out to play.

Shen Jiayi carried a small bucket and went out with them to catch some small fish and shrimp, which she then fed to the fish in the tank.

After the family of three returned to the farm for the night.

Shen Jiayi was immediately drawn to the beautiful aquarium.

A beautiful fish tank can not only calm the mind, but also heal the chaotic negative emotions in her heart.

Especially recently, her voice has been gradually recovering.

The knot in my heart was mostly untied.

With the addition of Wang Susu's blood-nourishing traditional Chinese medicine, the effect is outstanding.

She was full of energy and vitality, with a rosy complexion, and looked radiant.

Even Sheep, a die-hard fan from the very beginning, didn't recognize his idol when he met him in person.

She only mentioned to Chen Ling privately that the girl looked like Shen Jiayi, and even asked him if her back and profile resembled Si Ni'er. Chen Ling was speechless, thankfully he was no longer a fan of celebrities.

Otherwise, he would have to go abroad to find his dream goddess, Joey Wong.

"Brother Chen, we should report this rumor to the police as soon as possible," Shen Jiayi advised.

She had also heard about this incident and felt it was unfair that such kind and unassuming people as Chen Ling and his wife were treated this way; she felt indignant and shared their hatred.

"Yes, it will, but some things happen in the countryside, and calling the police won't do much good."

Chen Ling shook his head and smiled.

In fact, this kind of thing is not limited to the countryside. There are so many rumors on the internet in later generations, and reporting it to the police is useless.

People can say whatever they want; you can't control what they say.

Just because he can't control it doesn't mean Chen Ling will ignore it.

Besides, Chen Ling is not someone who likes to cause trouble for others.

Wang Susu finally has two good friends.

Now they've been slandered like this, ruining their reputation and causing trouble for their family as well.

This is what's disgusting.

And besides that.

The things mentioned later, Chen Ling's skill in training dogs and eagles were for the purpose of doing bad things.

This guy is really vicious.

In the future, there will be some cases that are left unresolved or never solved.

He pushed Chen Ling.

Maybe some people will actually believe it.

Eagles soar high and fly low, taking their leave as they please.

Tigers can also eat people; they can be seen alive or dead without a trace.

If this continues, Chen Ling will be out of a job in his hometown.

hold on.

Chen Ling plans to use the excuse of hunting rabbits to go out and wander around more in the next couple of days.

Let's see which bastard is behind this mess.

"Jiayi, don't worry about us anymore. Are you planning to go back to Hong Kong Island in the future?"

In front of Rui Rui, Chen Ling did not show any emotion, but simply asked casually.

"Hmm... I'm not really willing to reply."

Shen Jiayi's expression darkened; the competitive methods and control tactics employed by those in Hong Kong were far too frightening.

Even if their family has some connections in the mainland, it won't matter in their small territory there.

"Ha, then let's do it in our mainland. Our mainland will prosper sooner or later."

Chen Ling comforted him, "Have you heard? My son Heiwa Xiaojin's animated series is coming out, and I was even thinking of asking you to sing the theme song."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayi happily replied, "Great! Brother Chen, I'll sing for you for free, and sing a few more songs."

"Haha, how could I let you sing for nothing?...Alright, you go catch fish, I'm taking Rui Rui to find Da Xu to play."

Chen Ling smiled, picked up her son, and went up the slope to find Chen Xiaoer and Wu Fei.

Both families started building houses, and Chen Ling would often go to check on them and help out.

Like Zhao Yubao's family, they built their house on the first steep slope very close to the village.

However, they were not neighbors like the Zhao and Yubao families.

Instead, one is on the left and the other on the right.

Once they reached the top of the slope, they saw Chen Xiaoer staring at the bald man, with his son Daxu, and Wu Fei holding up a white mesh-like cloth.

"Brother Rui Rui".

As soon as Da Xu saw Chen Ling and Rui Rui, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly ran over shouting.

"Come down and play with Da Xu."

Chen Ling put down the stinky boy who was carrying two handfuls of little white elephants and turtles, and walked up to Wu Fei and the other boy: "What are you two doing? Making scarecrows to scare the birds? Or are you showing a movie tonight?"

"You don't understand, do you? This is a research project of Professor Wu and his wife."

Chen Xiaoer raised an eyebrow: "The research is finished. According to Professor Zhao and Professor Zhong's idea, it should be taught to the students in the village?"

"Oh? Is it that high-end?"

Chen Ling became interested: "Could it be research on sunlight? Or the movement of shadows?"

Chen Xiaoer was immediately shocked: "You know quite a lot, huh?"

"I understand a little bit."

Chen Ling was just talking nonsense, but that didn't stop him from bragging.

"Understanding it is useless; what you're saying isn't it."

Chen Xiaoer chuckled: "Teacher Wu is collecting insects. If she shines a light on it at night, the net will be covered with insects."

This will make it easier to study the types and characteristics of local insects.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling became interested: "This sounds fun. I'll come over tonight to catch bugs too. My little rascal loves playing with this the most."

Wu Fei watched them finish their conversation with a smile, and when he heard that Chen Ling was also coming over, he said, "That's perfect. With you two helping to catch the bugs, your sister-in-law and I can record the information without worry."

"Huh? Do we need to make a specimen?"

Chen Ling asked again, her eyes shining.

"Yes, we need to make specimens."

"Okay, this is good. This was my best skill when I was a kid."

Rui Rui didn't know why his father suddenly got excited. He wanted to dig ant holes with Da Xu, so he ran over with his short legs, stuffed the white elephant toy and the little turtle into Chen Ling's hands, and then turned around and went back to his work.

……

Regardless of how well Chen Ling is doing.

In the past two days, every household in the village has been using farm machinery to cut straw, and the work is in full swing.

Lynx was invited to be a mentor for two days, where he was treated to good food and drink every day, and was asked to teach the villagers how to use agricultural machinery.

Many young people have already learned it.

Some are really slow learners and take too long to pick things up, so we don't let them learn.

They specifically assigned those who learned quickly and drove well to collect straw from each household.

Several young people take turns hosting, and there's plenty of good wine and food.

Of course, many families may not know how to drive a tractor, but when it came time to cut straw, they all rode along on the big tractor, riding all over the fields and having a great time.

After three days of this, almost half of the village's straw had been harvested.

At first, everyone was slow, but Chen Ling drove fast. He could drive quickly as soon as he got in the car, and he could harvest straw from 20 acres of land in half a day.

Now that everyone is familiar with the road and drives more often, they've not only caught up with Chen Ling's speed, but they also take turns driving, resting, and even refueling, making them even faster than Chen Ling.

"Miyako, do you think bringing them lunch at noon will really win them their favor?"

Li Zhongyi, carrying two pitchers of beer, looked at Chishima Miyoko, who was also carrying a large bag of snacks to go with her beer.

Chishima Miyoko snorted: "Why are grown men so hesitant and indecisive? Now we can't find the giant turtle, and there's no news about the treasure either."

If we don't try to build a good relationship with them, are we just waiting to be kicked out?

"That's true. Our maps and notes are definitely accurate. The appearance of the giant turtle here is a pleasant surprise."

Li Zhongyi nodded, then his eyes suddenly lit up again: "Hey! Miyoko, what do you think about us going to Chen Ling's house and buying two puppies?"

Miyoko Chishima stopped abruptly, glaring at him angrily: "Ono-kun, please be serious."

How am I not serious?

"So how did your thoughts jump to raising dogs?"

"I thought the dogs here are very fierce, so in addition to getting along well with the people, we also need to get along well with the dogs."

"...Well, that makes some sense."
