59, Chapter 59 (1/2)
Qin Fang asked: "How do you plan to solve it?"
Yang Haiyan doesn't like to procrastinate when doing things. Although she doesn't care what others say about her behind her back, it's her own reputation after all, and who doesn't care about her own reputation? What's more, in ancient times, reputation was equal to fate: "We will solve it tonight. You will be on duty during the day this month. Those centurions are also at home at this time, right?"
Qin Fang: "I don't know whether you are here or not, but at this time they have already made their decision."
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she said, "Excuse me, sir, could you please accompany me for a walk? We haven't been to Baifu District for a long time, so we'll go there for a walk today."
Although Qin Fang didn't know how she was going to deal with it, he was also curious and said, "Okay." Otherwise, he would not be at ease if his wife went alone.
Of course, Yang Haiyan was not prepared to go with just the two of them. She also brought Aunt Lian, Aunt Fan and Aunt Yu. When Qin Fang saw this, he had an idea that his wife was there to quarrel.
Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang took Aunt Lian, Aunt Fan, Aunt Yu and others to Qi Baifu's house first. There is another reason why Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang always gossip together. They are all neighbors. At this moment, Yang Haiyan came with a large number of people, but didn't it attract people's attention? So people from half the street came out to watch.
Qi Baifu and his family were having dinner when they heard someone shouting outside: "Is Mrs. Qi here?"
On this road, anyone who noticed any movement would sneak out to take a look.
Mrs. Qi responded from inside: "Who is there?"
Yang Haiyan led people in. After a while, there were sounds of quarrels, beatings and scoldings, and the sound of things being broken. The people outside were shocked. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Qi rushed out crying. She ran while crying: "Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Tang..."
She didn't need to shout, Mrs. Tang was watching a play at the door of her yard. Mrs. Qi saw Mrs. Tang and caught her quickly, "Mrs. Tang, you have to testify. I didn't say that Mrs. Qin was a prodigal, nor did I say that Mrs. Qin couldn't lay eggs. Old hen, you I have to give evidence to you.”
When everyone heard what Mrs. Qi said, they all looked at Mrs. Tang. Although Mrs. Tang and others gossiped and laughed at others behind their backs, they would not do it in front of so many people. But now that Mrs. Qi called her, half of the people in the family house and street looked at her, and she Feel ashamed. She pulled Mrs. Qi's hand away and said, "What did you say? I don't know."
There were slap marks on Mrs. Qi's face, which made her face red and swollen. She looked very pitiful, as if she had been subjected to "domestic violence." She held onto Mrs. Tang's hand tightly and said, "Mrs. Tang, please help me. Someone complained to Mrs. Qin, saying that I said behind her back that she was a prodigal woman who couldn't lay eggs. The old hen, but Obviously I didn’t tell you, please help me and testify for me.”
Yang Haiyan also walked out of Qi's house. As soon as she came out, everyone looked at her. Yang Haiyan pretended to smile: "Dear aunts, sisters-in-law, sisters, I can't stand this tone today and that's why I came here. Everybody knows that got married here from the capital in August last year and just came here. When I was young, I was poisoned on the wedding night because I took the wrong medicine. This made my husband a joke, but who is poisoned and doesn't detoxify and maintain his health for half a year? , the body recovers.
At that time, my husband-in-law had only a few months to live, and he had to make medicine and replenish his health. It was too expensive, so I embroidered things myself and sold them to Yongji, which earned me some money. I went to some of my husband's private houses and finally opened a snack shop. I earned some money in the shop, which could also help me recuperate and replenish my health. My body gradually healed. In March of this year, my husband was going back to his hometown. My son has been in the army for five years and has never returned home. His parents-in-law in his hometown are worried. As we all know, it is difficult for pregnant women to travel long distances, as it may affect the fetus or cause unforeseen consequences. Therefore, we do not plan to get pregnant after three months.
But who would have known, because these two things were put together, this evil woman spread gossip, saying that I was a prodigal woman who couldn't lay eggs. " At this point, Yang Haiyan choked and started crying, her tears streaming down her face.
When Qin Fang saw her crying, he immediately stopped and hugged her: "Yanyan, don't cry. It's my fault for making you suffer." In September, his wife was in her hometown. He also cried while talking. At the time, he thought his wife was acting, but later he found out that she was really crying. So now, when he saw her crying again, he felt heartbroken. His wife had cried twice since she got married, and each time it was because of him. Thinking of this, Qin Fang felt an anger he had never felt before.
Yang Haiyan shook her head: "No, sir, this has nothing to do with you. Something happened on the wedding night, and you used your private room to hire a doctor and get medicine. You are deeply loyal to me, so how can I blame you? Wrong. The mistake was that I shouldn't have opened a shop, taken medicine, or taken care of myself. Maybe if I died of illness, no one would say that I was a prodigal.
Dear aunts, sisters-in-law, sisters, we are all women, our husbands and wives are colleagues, we come from all over the world and all over the country, it is fate that we can be together here, we should not live in harmony, let My husband can protect his family and the country without any worries? Why do we still bully women like this when we are both women? Is it because I was poisoned in August last year and didn’t die?
Today, someone came to tell that this Mrs. Qi and her gang were spreading gossip among women, saying that I was a prodigal, but they actually insulted for not being able to lay eggs. Such a tone, Can't swallow. Aunt Lian, give me a beating. "
Aunt Lian: "Yes."
Aunt Fan and Aunt Yu went to grab Mrs. Qi, but Aunt Lian reached out and slapped Mrs. Qi. The slap was so loud that the bystanders couldn't bear to look at it.
Mrs. Qi cried loudly: "It's not me, it's really not me. Mrs. Tang, you can testify that I really didn't say that."
Mrs. Tang shrank her neck: "I don't know, I don't know anything..." After saying that, she left the crowd and went back to the yard next door.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qi broke away from Aunt Fan and Aunt Yu, and then held her back: "How could you do this? How could you ignore death? It's obviously you Mrs. Feng is talking about Mrs. Qin's fault, just Just listening, why didn't you testify? Mrs. Qin, I really didn't say anything about you. It was Mrs. Tang who said you were a prodigal and that you couldn't lay eggs. Why? Talking about you... and saying that Mr. Qin will take a concubine sooner or later..."
Yang Haiyan was stunned. Mrs. Qi had never said this to her during the day.
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she immediately pushed Mrs. Qi away: "You are talking nonsense, I never said that."
Mrs. Feng was also watching the show, but when she saw Mrs. Qi dragging her along, she immediately said, "Mrs. Qi, are you crazy? You're so anxious that you're jumping over the wall and biting people. When did you say that?"
Mrs. Qi turned around and knelt on the ground: "Mrs. Qin, the emperor is above, Qi Zhushi swears, never said that you were a prodigal, nor did I say that you couldn't lay eggs. Old hen, these words are just soup. Mrs. Feng said, "If you lie, I will die badly and my child will have no future." Then she looked at Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang again, "Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Tang, what do you think?" The dog jumps over the wall and bites people, but you swear that you didn't say anything. Mrs. Feng, you swear on your man, Mrs. Tang, you swear on your son."
Qin Haiyan looked at Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang: "Is what Mrs. Qi said true?"
Mrs. Feng gritted her teeth and said, "I never said it, why do I have to swear?"
Mrs. Tang also refused to admit it: "I didn't say it either. Who knows what Mrs. Qi is crazy about?"
Seeing this, Yang Haiyan was not in a hurry: "In that case, let's report to the official. Your husband is a seventh-grade military general in the imperial court. According to the laws of our country, humiliating an official's family will be punished with a stick or jailed. If I have wronged you, and I will apologize, but... I believe that the county magistrate will give you justice." As she said this, she looked at the other people watching the show, "Everyone, whoever among you can do it. To testify for , took out ten taels of silver to express his gratitude.”
Those present were all centurions or centurions' wives. Ten taels of silver was the centurion's monthly allowance for a year. Moreover, they were frugal and frugal for a year, but they could not save ten taels of silver.
So as soon as Yang Haiyan opened her mouth, people were moved.
"Mrs. Qin, do you really mean what you say? If you are willing to testify, do you really have ten taels of silver?" someone asked. No matter who she knows or not, money is the best.
Yang Haiyan said: "My husband is here, in front of everyone, how can I lie?"
The woman said: "I heard Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng say this. Early that morning, two servants of your family went to the market to buy vegetables. They walked in front, carrying a basket full of vegetables. Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng were walking behind. Mrs. Feng said, your servants bought so many vegetables, how can they not choke you to death when they eat them? Mrs. Tang said, you are the only old hen who can’t lay eggs. It’s nothing to eat, it’s a waste of food. I was walking behind them when I heard these words.”
Mrs. Tang shouted: "You lied."
Yang Haiyan said: "Sister-in-law, go and sue the officials. Are you willing to testify?"
The woman said, "I've said it all here. It doesn't matter if I go to testify in front of the county magistrate."
Yang Haiyan said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, Aunt Lian, for giving me the money."
Aunt Lian took out ten taels of silver and said, "Madam, thank you for your willingness to give justice to my wife."
Someone saw that the woman had collected ten taels of silver, and also said, "I have heard it too. 's house is next door to Mrs. Tang's house, and I often heard Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Feng going to Mrs. Tang's house to chat. One time Mrs. Qi said that she saw Mr. Qin Qianfu coming back from hunting two wild boars. They were so big and full of meat. Mrs. Feng said that the Qin family had killed all the wild boars in the mountains. The wild boar doesn’t know how to share some meat with his colleagues in the family room.
So Mrs. Tang said, if it is given to a prodigal woman who can't lay eggs, it will be in vain. Then Mrs. Tang said, There is a sister at home who is very good-looking. How about introducing her to Mr. Qin? "
Mrs. Qi immediately said: "That's when Mrs. Tang said that Mr. Qin would take a concubine sooner or later. Mrs. Qin, do you believe it?"
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan asked the woman the same question: "Sister-in-law, go and sue the officials. Are you willing to testify?"
The woman also said cheerfully: "Of course I will go."

So, Aunt Lian gave the woman another ten taels of silver.
Yang Haiyan said: "Aunt Fan, you go back to the house and let Chen Dashi ride a horse to sue the official faster."
Aunt Fan: "Yes." She turned around and ran towards Qian Fu's house.
Snap...
A man came out of the crowd and slapped Mrs. Tang on the face: "Have you ever said these words? If so, apologize to Qin Qianfu and Mrs. Qin."
Mrs. Tang's face was also stunned, and a mouthful of blood was smeared on the ground: "..." She looked at the two women who were willing to testify, then gritted her teeth and knelt down, "Mrs. Qin, it's me who has a bad mouth. I was wrong, please don't forget the faults of others, please forgive me."
When Mrs. Feng saw Mrs. Tang kneeling down to apologize, she also knelt down and apologized: "Mrs. Qin, I am also wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me." "
They were really scared. They had never thought that such a thing could be brought to court. In fact, ordinary people will not complain to officials if they gossip, and no one will complain to officials. But the centurion's wife is a common person, and Yang Haiyan is an official's family member. Even though Qin Fang is only seventh-rank, and she has no title and no rank, she is still an official's family member.
However, ordinary people, as long as they have some brains, will not talk about the rights and wrongs of officials and their families.
Of course, the matter was not that serious. Yang Haiyan just bullied them for being "illiterate." It can be seen from their words and deeds that they are vulgar and do not understand the law. So it's just right to scare them with these laws. When Yang Haiyan first came to this world, she read books related to the law. Firstly, she used the law to protect herself. Secondly, she also learned what things she could not do and what she could do.
Tang Baifu and Feng Baifu also came out: "Master Qin, Mrs. Qin, we are not strict in discipline, please calm down."
Although Qin Fang wanted to punch them in his heart, he still resisted: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You are in the military camp all day long and devote yourself to the military camp. How could you have thought that there are women at home who will hold you back." Qin Fang said. I said this to give the two centurions a lot of face. Whether they know it or not, among so many people, their face is indeed important. Of course, this remark also secretly satirized Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng.
Yang Haiyan said: "What your husband said is absolutely true. The two centurions have nothing to do with this matter. You are the heroes who protect your family and country. My wife admires you as a hero. However, what the two ladies said and did, It’s really unforgivable.”
As soon as Yang Haiyan said that they could not forgive, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng kowtowed and apologized: "Mrs. Qin, we are wrong, we are really wrong, we still have children, please forgive me. Give us a chance. We won’t spread rumors anymore. Mrs. Qin, please ..."
Yang Haiyan sobbed and said aggrievedly: "For the sake of the two centurions and the husband of the family being colleagues, I can give you another chance, but you have to write a letter of apology and each The loss of my reputation will cost me ten taels of silver."
Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng: "This..." Apology? Reputation damage fee?
Yang Haiyan immediately showed no expression on her face: "If you don't want to, then we can go to court, but I don't know if you two can stand up to the county government."
Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng tightened their butts: "We write, and we compensate."
So, Yang Haiyan took out two letters of apology: "Read it again. If there is no problem, sign it. If you don't know how to sign, you can fingerprint it."
Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng were illiterate, but the two centurions were literate. They saw that there was no exaggeration in the apology, only the facts, and they wrote: ...Because of this matter, Qin Yang was harmed. Because of Haiyan's reputation, she will be compensated with ten taels of silver. He also promised that he would not spread rumors about the Qin Yang family in the future. If he violated this promise, he would be compensated one hundred taels of silver.
Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang pressed their fingerprints. How could ordinary people afford ten taels of silver at a time? The two centurions first paid five taels of silver each, and the remaining 500 taels of silver were given each month, divided into ten. Monthly payment.
The apology book is signed and the money is paid. The Feng family and the Tang family will return to their home immediately. As soon as the door is closed, all face will be put aside today.
Yang Haiyan said to everyone again: "Every aunt, sister-in-law, sister, and sister, here today, I also want to apologize to Mrs. Qi. I didn't understand the truth of the matter, so I came to the door and called her." Mrs. Qi paused, it was my fault. I don’t know what the person who told me was thinking, or whether he had any grudge against Mrs. Qi, but no matter what, Mrs. Qi was hurt by this incident. Please forgive me, Mrs. Qi."
Mrs. Qi hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I shouldn't have listened to their talk. I didn't know what was good and just joined in the fun." She regretted it. Yang Haiyan rushed in just now, startling her. Later, she heard that Yang Haiyan wanted to do a scene with her, but how could she dare to object?
Although it was just for show, her face really hurt, and the slap was real. But she also knew that Yang Haiyan was doing it for her own good, because if she didn't make such a fuss, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng would definitely bite her. In addition, she got into Mrs. Qin's carriage in the morning, and Mrs. Feng also saw her. .
Now that she's a victim, it's different.
Yang Haiyan held her hand: "I'm sorry, these ten taels of silver will be regarded as compensation. Mrs. Qi will ask a doctor to take a look. Also, the bowls at your home were all broken. You need to buy some more, so don't do it." "You're welcome." After giving the money to Mrs. Qi, Yang Haiyan said to Qin Fang: "Mr., let's go back."
Qin Fang supported her: "Yes."
After Qin Fang and his wife left with their servants, everyone saw the Qi family sweeping out all the broken bowls and spilled vegetables. This play is quite realistic.
After returning home and entering the yard, Qin Fang suddenly hugged her from behind: "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." It was all his fault that she cried so sadly just now.
Yang Haiyan: "..." broke out of his arms, then stretched out her hand to touch his eyes.
Qin Fang immediately squinted his eyes, but it was too late. His eyes were irritated and immediately turned red, with a few tears flowing out. Qin Fang: "You bad woman." He picked her up and said, "You lied to me. It makes my heart hurt."
Yang Haiyan shouted: "Put me down quickly."
Qin Fang: "Don't let go." He threw the person on the bed, then pressed him heavily on him, "You are so bad, you are so bad."
Yang Haiyan couldn't help but laugh: "You're so stupid, you're so stupid." She didn't even know if it was true or not, she was really a fool.
Qin Fang snorted, then lowered his head, buried it in her chest, and bit her chest hard through her clothes.
Yang Haiyan was shocked: "Rogue, you gangster..." Where did he learn this?
After what happened between Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng, there was a lot of gossip in the family room, but the protagonist of the gossip was Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng.
Yang Haiyan did not inquire about these matters. In a blink of an eye, it’s mid-May.
On this day, Uncle Hong brought good news. Half an acre of broccoli transplanted in early May survived for ten days after ten days of observation, and has now entered its peak period. There were no chemical fertilizers in ancient times, and Yang Haiyan could not buy chemical fertilizers. All fertilizers were pig feces, chicken feces, and duck feces. There are twenty pigs, twenty chickens, and twenty ducks on the farm. The people in charge of the farm are Niu Da and his family. Niu Da is responsible for the crops, and their family members are responsible for weeding and feeding the poultry. Niuda earns one hundred cents per month, weeds and feeds poultry, and there are four people in total, fifty cents per month. Weeding is not a heavy job, it only happens every few months. Even feeding poultry is fast because there are so many people. The main reason is that this job is right at home, so Niu Da and his family are very satisfied with it. In just one month, the family can earn 500 yuan, which makes the villagers envious.
However, the villagers did not dare to do anything. After all, this was an official farm.
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she was really happy: "When will the broccoli be harvested?" Yang Haiyan named broccoli. Yang Haiyan said that when the traveling merchant sold it to her, he told her that the vegetable was called broccoli.
Uncle Hong said: "Niu Da said that according to his calculations, the harvest can start in July. But apart from the broccoli, the potatoes can be harvested at the end of June, and the sweet potatoes will not be harvested until early August. And you said that the tomatoes have been planted. , we have to look at the details. As for the fruit tree saplings, they are growing well, but they will need to be replanted in the future. So far, they are fine. But when the fruit trees grow, they may become denser and require about an acre of land. for transplantation.”
Yang Haiyan thought for a while: "After the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes, the more than an acre of land will be used to transplant fruit trees." A hundred apple saplings and a hundred pear saplings were planted, hoping that they would grow vigorously. There are many poultry raised in the manor, and they can't just eat grass. Some of them eat sweet potatoes and rice bran, which are all bought with money. PotatoesAfter the sweet potato harvest, poultry can be eaten.
Uncle Hong said: "Yes, I will talk to Niu Da later."
Yang Haiyan thought for a moment: "Well, if you have nothing to do, please step back."
After Uncle Hong retired, Yang Haiyan was thinking about broccoli and she was eager to eat it.
"Madam..." Aunt Lian came in from outside, "Madam, we have a happy event in our house."
Yang Haiyan was curious: "What happy event is happening in our house? Could it be that Aunt Hong is pregnant?" That's not the case, Hong Datou can only walk. If Aunt Hong gets pregnant again, it would be too urgent. Hong Datou, the son of Uncle Hong.
Aunt Lian really didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's a private guard, Chen Dashi is getting married."
Yang Haiyan: "..." This was so surprising to her, "Who is the bride?"
