Chapter 16: Speculation
Chu Yan was startled by the woman who suddenly rushed out, and quickly took a step back, avoiding the woman's outstretched hand in a thrilling way.
"Cut, what are you hiding, what's so unsightly that you don't want to see?" The woman's eyes were rolling on the basket of cigarettes, and she was not at ease at first glance.
Chu Yan recognized this woman as Pan Jinzhi of the Pan family who liked to stir up trouble.
"Did I show you?" Chu Yan's face sank, and her tone was cold.
Just a few days before she crossed over, Chu Yan was saddened by Pan's family, and she would not give a good face to this woman.
Pan Shi suddenly looked like a fried rooster: "Yo, the little widow is quite powerful, don't let me see if there is something unsightly in it." ”
In Jinshan Village, few people dared to speak to her like this, Pan's voice raised a few points, and shouted loudly: "Big guy, hurry up and take a look, take a look!" The little widow has hidden something good! ”
While shouting, she pulled Chu Yan and didn't let her go.
After a while, the people who were chattering nearby all gathered around, several layers inside and out, pointing at the two of them.
"Big guys, look at it, this little widow has picked so many things, and no one can see it, who knows if she stole it." Pan Shicai didn't care whether what he said was right or wrong, and slandered Chu Yan.
She wants Chu Yan to know that she Pan Jinzhi is not easy to mess with in Jinshan Village, and what will happen if she doesn't give her face.
Seeing more and more people coming around, Pan's heart was full of pride.
The onlookers didn't know the cause and effect of the incident, and just based on Pan's blind shouting, they took the words out of context, and there were many discussions: "Liu Dani stole something? ”
"Where did Dani get so many things? What's inside? "The curiosity of gossip people is endless, and the more they are not allowed to see it, the more they want to see it.
"No wonder it's so generous, selling candy for ten cents turned out to be stolen!" Some people think of Chu Yan buying candy before.
“……”
Everyone was gossiping, and Chu Yan was suddenly pushed to the forefront.
A small figure was surrounded by several older children in the corner, and the vicious language was like a sharp blade, cutting her all over her body.
When she was a child, she was often bullied in the orphanage, and later she took advantage of one of the children to be alone, and beat him fiercely, and no one dared to mess with her easily from then on.
The current situation is so similar to the previous life, that dark memory suddenly filled Chu Yan's mind, and a depressing aura shrouded her body.
"What are you doing?" An angry roar came from behind everyone, interrupting Chu Yan's thoughts.
I saw Wang Laoshi carrying a hoe on his back, and Tian ran over in a panic with a shovel in his hand, squeezed into the middle of the crowd, and protected Chu Yan from left to right.
It turned out that the two had just dug two baskets of yams and came back, and were about to carry them back and go up the mountain, who knew that before they could drink a bowl of water, they heard a commotion outside, and Liu Dani's name was mentioned, so they immediately copied the guy and ran out.
"What are you doing here? No one bullied my family, right? Pan, don't go too far! Tian yelled angrily at Pan.
Chu Yan, who was protected behind her, instantly lost the suppressed aura around her body, and her heart was warm.
Don't look at Tian's usual words, and he is not weak when he quarrels: "Who said that my daughter-in-law stole something?" Stealing yours? It's just you, you, and you, your poor clank, is there something for people to steal? I don't want to go to your house when I see rats! ”
Poof......
I don't know who couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
The few people mentioned by Tian are really poor and breathable.
The faces of several people named by Tian turned red and quietly retreated.
Pan Shi was not happy to hear it: "Tian, if your daughter-in-law Liu Dani doesn't have anything unsightly in this basket, why don't you let everyone see it?" ”
"Why did you show it? Is your stuff for the big guys to see? If you dare to let us go to your house, then you can look at this basket casually! Tian raised his voice.
"I ......" Pan's strong words reasoned, "Why did my family let you turn it!" ”
At this time, Pan realized that Tian's lack of silence did not mean that she was easy to provoke.
When she was young, Tian was also a powerful character, and few people in Jinshan Village could beat her when she quarreled.
It's just that later she only gave birth to one child, Wang Dazhuang, and the Wang family was thin, so she gradually reined in her temper.
But if Chu Yan is let go like this, she will be too embarrassed to call so many people, why will she mix in the village in the future.
"I don't care, anyway, if you don't let me see it, don't want to leave today!" Pan's gave up his face and stirred up.
Tian was so angry that he couldn't wait to step forward and slap Pan's two big mouths.
Without waiting for her to make a move, Chu Yan suddenly stepped forward, her face was cold, and her eyes stared at Pan's fiercely: "In broad daylight, Ming robbery, if you are entangled again, we will see you in court." ”
Chu Yan was thin, but her height was not low, half a head taller than Pan's, and her fierce momentum frightened Pan's to take a step back.
"Also, I think you have heard that my husband Wang Dazhuang is going to be a soldier, not dead, is calling me a little widow to question the decision of the imperial court? Do you want to be beheaded? ”
Every time Chu Yan said a word and took a step forward, Pan Shi was so frightened that he took a step back.
Her heart trembled, her legs kept trembling, and then she turned around and staggered away.
"In the future, whoever is watching our Wang family is small, and wants to bully if there is nothing to do, just try it, and we will see you in court then!"
In the court, they were scared when they heard it, not to mention that Chu Yan's ruthlessness didn't look fake, and the people who watched the excitement also knew that Chu Yan was not easy to mess with.
Seeing that Pan's ran away, they couldn't help but look at each other, no one took the lead in stirring up trouble, and gradually dispersed!
Tian and Wang Laoshi helped carry the two back baskets home, and the joy of digging yams was also washed away by the farce just now.
Chu Yan is okay, if it weren't for the fear that the things she bought would be exposed and cause trouble in the village, she wouldn't be afraid that others would know about going to the town to earn money.
It's just that now it's better to have more than one thing, and it doesn't feel too good to make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
"Dad, mother, don't be angry, there are some people in the village who can't see others well, if we find fault because they are jealous, we will be sad, won't we fulfill their wishes."
As she spoke, Chu Yan took out the things she bought today from the back basket and put them on the dilapidated Eight Immortals table in the main room: "Look, I pulled two bodies of material for a few of us, mother, do you like it?" ”
Sure enough, there is no woman who doesn't like clothes, Tian's face softened a lot, and when he touched the smooth cotton fabric with his hands, there was a smile on his face.
"The material is so soft, his father, let's enjoy the blessings of our daughter-in-law!"
Wang Laoshi's complexion was also much better, and he no longer smoked sullenly.
"Mother, I don't know how to needlework."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll do it tomorrow." Tian's embroidery work is not too good, but it is still no problem to make clothes.
A family of three chatted about their respective gains today, plain and warm.
Chu Yan suddenly patted her head: "Dad, mother, there is still good news for you!" ”。
was made a fuss by Pan's family, she almost forgot about it!
