Kapitel 43: Rumors

Hence, when Mu Yangling carried some rabbits to visit Eldest Great-aunt again, the atmosphere in West Mountain Village was rather strange. When the villagers saw Mu Yangling from afar, they avoided her.

Though a little puzzled, Mu Yangling still headed straight for her eldest great-aunt's house.

When Ma Xiuhong and Ma Xiulan saw Mu Yangling, their eyes lit up. "Cousin, you're here!"

"Where's Eldest Great-aunt?"

"Grandma went to the threshing floor. Someone recently came to our village to buy grains, so Grandma sold all the grains from last year. Now, we're just waiting to dry the new grains and store them in the warehouse."

Mu Yangling placed the things in the kitchen and asked, "When I entered the village just now, I saw that the villagers' attitude was strange. Did someone bully you again?"

The two children shook their heads in confusion. Ma Xiuhong said, "No, no one has been bullying us recently. Eldest Great-uncle hasn't come over either."
