The onlookers at the door of Wang Facai's house were three layers inside and three layers outside, chattering and discussing something.

Chu Yan didn't understand, wasn't the fields very busy these days? Why are there so many people joining in the fun?

Sure enough, the power of people's gossip is endless.

Chu Yan gradually approached with the vegetable basket on her shoulder, and she didn't know who said "ah", and everyone's eyes shifted from Wang Facai's house to Chu Yan.

"Isn't this the little widow of the Wang family?"

In the eyes of the villagers, Wang Dazhuang went out to serve as a soldier and had almost no chance of survival, and Chu Yan was a person without a husband in their eyes.

If it was Liu Dani who was being talked about like this now, she would definitely die of shame, but now this body has changed its core.

Chu Yan glanced at the person who spoke: "Our family is a soldier to protect the family and defend the country, it's not gone, you curse him like this, are you questioning the imperial court's conscription of soldiers?" ”

Boom~~~ Her words exploded in the crowd, although the voice was not loud, but it hit everyone's hearts hard.

The scene was silent for a moment, this is not a joke, Chu Yan said this, didn't it mean that they had the intention of rebellion, once it was spread, it would be a matter of losing their heads.

A man stammered, "Who said that?" I didn't say it, the work in the field was too busy to delay. After saying that, he ran away as if flying.

"I didn't say anything, it's time for my grandson to eat, let's go." It was a woman who spoke.

In the blink of an eye, the people gathered at the door of Wang Facai's house dispersed in a hurry.

None of the villagers thought that Liu Dani, who seemed to be silent, was a difficult person to mess with, and since then, no one dared to say that she was a widow to her face, which is a later story.

Besides, now, Chu Yan pulled the corners of her mouth, some people are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, seeing that there are only two old people and a young daughter-in-law left in the Wang family, I think it is easy to bully.

She doesn't care about gossip, but not caring doesn't mean that others can be bullied.

The movement outside the door, Wang Facai's family is not unaware.

Chu Yan knocked on the door, and someone opened the door from the inside.

The moment she pushed the door in, a woman wearing a light blue coarse cloth dress, her hair pulled up, and a plum blossom silver hairpin in her diagonal insertion quietly took a step back.

This woman is none other than Wang Facai's fourth brother, Wang Guicai's daughter-in-law, Yang Ling'er of the Yang family.

Yang Ling'er is the niece of the Yang family, and she gave birth to a son Wang Mingbao after marrying, with a straight waist and very arrogant.

However, she is a bully who is afraid of the hard, and Chu Yan's words just now to scare everyone away made her panic.

Chu Yan noticed her movements, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she looked at Shen Yulan, only to see her sobbing softly, and there were two women pointing in front of her.

"You little slut, what can't you do, but you have learned to steal money!" The old woman's scolding was Shen Yulan's mother-in-law, Yang.

Another woman added fuel to the fire: "Mother, don't look at the second sister-in-law's daily life, who knows that she has the most ideas, and no one has ever dared to steal the family's money." ”

This woman is the daughter-in-law of the third king, the wealthy daughter and grandson Chunju, and she loves to sow discord.

This situation is embarrassing for Shen Yulan at first glance.

"Auntie, what's going on?" Chu Yan stepped forward with a basket on her shoulder, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Who are you? Nosy in someone else's house? Yang was angry, she didn't expect that the most honest and obedient daughter-in-law would dare to hide private money.

Of course, she knew that Shen Yulan did not steal the five cents, and the money in the family was counted, and it was impossible for her to hide it to death.

It's just that this second daughter-in-law's approach challenges her mother-in-law's authority, and she must teach a lesson.

Sun Shi cut and said: "Mother, this is the daughter-in-law bought back by Wang Dazhuang, a famous greedy little widow." ”

Chu Yan smiled: "It seems that my sister-in-law didn't hear what I said outside just now?" ”

At this time, Xiao Yang hurriedly pulled Sun's sleeve: "Third sister-in-law, don't talk about it, let's all lose our heads." ”

Sun sighed in his heart, although he didn't hear what Chu Yan said outside just now, he was also so frightened that he couldn't speak.

After a while, Chu Yan figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but it turned out that when Shen Yulan returned home with five copper plates to hide the money, she was secretly seen by the Sun family from the window, and immediately shouted loudly.

This is the current scene, Shen Yulan was embarrassed by several women of the Yang family.

Chu Yan personally felt the difficulty of the Yang family, the Sun family and the others, and in comparison, the Tian family and Wang Laoshi really had nothing to say.

She hurriedly helped explain: "Auntie, this money was not stolen by Sister Lan, I lent it to her." ”

"You? Just because you have money? The Yang family was very disdainful, both of them were little widows, and sure enough, things gathered like people in groups, and widows and widows got closer.

"Auntie, I really lent it to her, thanks to Sister Lan these days, I was able to find a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, this is not Sister Lan said that she wanted to do some embroidery work to subsidize the family and reduce the burden on you, so I borrowed her five cents and asked her to buy needlework and thread."

"Since you don't like her to do the embroidery work, then forget it, give me back the money." Chu Yan said and snatched the money back directly from the Yang family.

"You, you, you, you......" Yang was suddenly speechless with anger.

Sun crossed his waist and his voice suddenly raised: "You said that you lent her the money, you lent it to her?" Do you have the money? The tone was very disdainful.

She has been married to Wang Youcai for so many years, and she has never seen the Yang family give her money, why is a little widow who has just passed the door a few days ago?

"What? You forgot I bought so much sugar yesterday? I don't have the money to buy it? "Come on, the bad reputation of being scolded for being a loser, I also helped Chu Yan at this time.

As a loser, she can buy so much sugar and lend others five cents.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the village chief's uncle, who happened to pass by our door at that time."

When it comes to the village chief, the Yang family and the Sun family dare not speak, this year, the village chief is responsible for the affairs of the village, large and small, and he is still very dignified in the village.

The Yang family didn't dare to bother the village chief to run because of this little thing, otherwise they would leave a bad impression on the village chief, and their family would have a hard time in the village.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just five cents, who is rare, borrow it, what are you crying and crying for, you don't know and think I'm bullying you." Yang scolded Shen Yulan impatiently, threw up his sleeves and went back to the house.

The other concubines also knew how to protect themselves, so as not to burn Yang's anger on themselves, and each went back to their respective rooms.

Shen Yulan's room

Chu Yan and her looked at each other, and Shen Yulan was suddenly very uncomfortable: "Da Zhuang's family, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to see ......"

"Thanks to you, otherwise my reputation for stealing money would have fallen, and I don't care about myself, even if Pippi has such a mother, she can't hold her head up."

"Who hasn't had a difficult problem yet, Sister Lan, you still helped me." Chu Yan stretched out her palm, and the five copper coins were lying quietly in her hand, "What about the money now?" ”
