Widow Xie's face didn't change much, and she pushed back on the spot: "Then you have to keep an eye on your man, beware of climbing my wall next time and breaking your leg!" ”

"Whew! You don't look in the mirror, who is so rare to climb your wall? My man can't look down on you, a horse flea who doesn't abide by women's morals! "It's not easy to be a mother-in-law.

"Do I still have to look in the mirror? It's not like you said that half of the old men in the village are ......"

Ji Yu directly supported her forehead, and it seems that Widow Xie's bad reputation is also half of her own credit.

This broken jar and broken attitude seems to make people feel good, but it hurts the enemy by 1,000 and loses 10,000, which is equivalent to others splashing dirty water and drawing a layer of black edges by herself.

Ji Yu intercepted Widow Xie's words and looked at Gou Yu's mother-in-law.

"Aunt Gou, did you say that someone climbed the wall at night, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Gou Yu's mother-in-law raised her head: "That's nature!" I've seen it really, and there are quite a few of them! ”

"Oh? If I'm not mistaken, your house is not close to Hu's house, and you don't sleep in the middle of the night, so you run to see if anyone is climbing the wall? ”

"I'm ......," Gou Yu choked.

Ji Yu shook her head, her face full of disapproval.

"Aunt Gou, it's not good for you to do this. Let's not talk about how unruly it is to not return at night, in case you are bumped into by someone, I don't know, but when you are specifically going to see a bunch of big old men......"

"Hahahaha!" At this moment, the laughter was replaced by the men, and of course, several long-tongued women were also secretly snickering.

Gou Yu's mother-in-law's face turned green: "You! You are so young, why don't you learn well......"

"I just want to remind Aunt Gou." Ji Yu looked at her with a smile, "Sometimes what you see may not be true, let alone those dirty words that have no foundation?" You also know that it is not comfortable to be detained as an unruly, if you don't want others to use the same means to reply to you, it is better to be careful when you speak. After all, who wouldn't make up a story? ”

Gou Yu's mother-in-law was uncomfortable when she was blocked, and she was afraid that they would really turn around in the village and arrange her to go out in the middle of the night to stare at men, so she turned around angrily and stopped talking.

A few long-tongued women next to them were naturally afraid that their own stories would be made up, so they looked at each other, changed the topic stiffly, and talked about their children's crops or something.

Soon arrived at the archway at the entrance of the town, and after getting out of the car, Widow Xie pulled Ji Yu aside.

"Next time, don't get involved in this kind of thing, I can handle it myself. Those women are not good goods, and I don't know how to arrange you behind your back. ”

The widow had a lot of rights and wrongs in front of the door, and when she heard those unbearable words at first, she was also anxious to explain to others, quarrel with others, and even fight with others for this, and I don't know how many times she cried at night.

But she had to pull up a few older children, so she couldn't stay at home, and she couldn't find any decent work, so she could only dig and carry wood and smash stones with a group of men, and there were even more ugly words.

But if you listen to it too much, you won't take it seriously, and you don't have time to talk to them, so it's better to make a few more money.

"I'll just fart them!"

Ji Yu appreciates her attitude, in this era when a woman has been revolving around the pot all her life, and once she is divorced or widowed, she can't survive, although Widow Xie is ashamed to show her face, she uses her not strong shoulders to support her child.

"Aunt Xie, it's right for you to think like this, but it's ...... in the way."

Ji Yu didn't plan to say anything big to her, and directly picked what she cared about the most as the entry point.

"You don't have to defend yourself, you don't care what the people in the village say about you, but what about Sister Xi and Dacheng? They are getting older, and Brother Liangzi, who is also about to get married...... You have to think about them. ”

Widow Xie's face changed, and she really hesitated.

"So what else can I do? Go to the village and shout, it's useless, they won't believe ......"

"No, I don't." Ji Yu didn't want to overkill, "Anyway, what should we do, it's just that the next time you encounter someone who splashes dirty water on you, you will ...... You snatch the basin and splash it back on them, provided that you don't get yourself dirty, otherwise you will get others to do it after arguing for a long time, and you're busy in vain, right? ”

Ji Yu said it was simple and vivid, and Widow Xie suddenly understood: "Just like you just did?" ”

Thinking of Gou Yu's mother-in-law's shriveled face, not to mention, it is really more effective than the blushing and thick-necked quarrels with people in the past.

Ji Yu saw that she understood, so she stopped there.

Although "those who believe in you will believe you, and explanations that do not believe are useless", when they are slandered and slandered, they still have to show their attitude.

At the very least, let the other person know that talking nonsense is responsible.

The two entered the town while chatting.

Because of its proximity to the border between Zhou and Liang, Juyong Town is generally an important town.

This place was originally very deserted, but later the imperial court sent troops to station them for a long time, and while strengthening the border defense, many displaced people moved from all over the country one after another, and many of the felons who were sentenced to exile were also sent here, and slowly the population gathered.

These expanded personnel plough the fields and cultivate the land in peacetime, and once a war starts, they are the best "talent pool". The soldiers who are transferred from elsewhere or captured to serve the army are water from afar after all, how can there be water near to extinguish the fire?

It is precisely for this reason that although Juyong Town is an important town, it does not have much prosperity.

The people here can't get out, and the household registration has been here for generations, and it is impossible to move away without power. People outside are also reluctant to come, otherwise they will be afraid every day, for fear that one day the male of the family will be sent to the battlefield.

Even those traders who went south and north, the timid ones were not willing to go north, and the war began as soon as it began, and the loss of goods was small, and they were afraid that their lives would have to be brought in.

Today is just in time for the fair, and there are a lot of people on the street, crowded and crowded.

Widow Xie went straight to the south of the town, saying that she wanted to help the villagers carry a letter, so that Ji Yu was still waiting for her in the north of the town.

Ji Yu wandered aimlessly along the north and south streets, and found that most of the goods sold were daily necessities such as rice grain, vegetables, furs, and game, and those flashy "luxury stores" were almost nowhere to be seen.

When she passed some paving, she would also stop and ask about the price, and from the information gathered along the way, it was clear that the price level of this era was similar to the Ming Dynasty she knew.

Generally speaking, the purchasing power of silver in the past dynasties was mostly estimated on the basis of grain.

However, there are chaos in the world, and there are good and bad years, and the price of grain varies from time to time, and the price of silver will naturally fluctuate accordingly.

For example, in the peaceful years ago, one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice, and the purchasing power of one tael of silver could reach five or six hundred yuan.

In the past two years of war, a stone of rice was sold for eight yuan of silver, and the price of goods rose, and the purchasing power of one or two pieces of silver fell to more than 300 yuan.

However, Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief, although it was not as good as the peaceful years at the moment, it was not too outrageous.
