The Peasant Girl's Splendid Manor Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058 Everyone shouts for beatings and rewards

Sister-in-law Wang had never seen Liu Qingqing before, but in front of everyone, she couldn't slap herself in the face. She could only grit her teeth and insist on what she said before: "Yes, I was at Lao Mo's house that day and saw your daughter-in-law. ! Your Wu family is so shameless that you even married a kiln sister. Doesn't this ruin the reputation of our Liuyang Village? You and your family should be kicked out of Cun, so as not to embarrass our village."

Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Wang's face showed a complacent look. She was thinking about the whole village. Let's see who would help this **** Wu.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the two women who had spoken before did not hesitate to expose her lie: "Wang family, you went to Lao Mo's house that day, but Mo Hong was busy filling Mo Yongxi's engagement gold bracelet. The village showed off and sent you away early, who are you trying to deceive?"

"Yes, I saw it too! I was cooking in the kitchen at that time, and you passed by the window outside. I also heard you cursing Mo Hong's family, cursing the pair of gold bracelets for being stolen, and cursing Mo Yongxi. If you don't like your husband's family, how can you tell lies with your eyes open like this? You've ruined the reputation of other girls, how can they be sorry for you?”

The two women pointed at Sister-in-law Wang and were very angry. As women, they know very well how important the reputation of their daughter's family is. If such rumors reach the ears of the Wu family's daughter-in-law, it will simply force her to die. This woman's thoughts are really vicious.

Unexpectedly, her lie was exposed at once. Sister-in-law Wang, who was only a little smart at first, panicked and shouted: "No, I went to Lao Mo's house again for something later, and I met the kiln sister. You didn't You saw me, yes, but you didn't see me!”

Most of the people present did not believe what Sister-in-law Wang said at all. Now they even had witnesses. Seeing that Sister-in-law Wang was still insisting on not letting go, they all couldn't help but show contempt. Some people simply shouted: "Like this." If you don't like other people's good deeds, you should be driven out of the village. Without people like this, our village will not know how peaceful it will be."

"That's right. The Wang family has the longest tongue in the village. She dares to say anything. With her bad mouth, she has caused a lot of trouble in the village! There is no man in the family and she refuses to keep her peace. This kind of person He deserves to live on the streets with his entire family.”

"I don't want to see this woman anymore. When Wang Dali was driven out of the village, they should have driven out the whole family to avoid harming the villagers! Why don't we go to the field and call the village chief over now? Anyway, Wang Dali can't come back, so let's let his family reunite outside, and we'll think of it as doing a good deed.”

Everyone loudly criticized Sister-in-law Wang, and what was originally a conflict between the Wu and Wang families suddenly escalated into a crusade against Sister-in-law Wang in the whole village.

It's no wonder that so many people hate Sister-in-law Wang's family. In fact, this family's behavior goes too far, and no one understands it. Not to mention Wang Dali, who has a criminal record and has been kicked out of the village, Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law, who loves to gossip and take advantage of others, is very disgusting.

Since the Wang family lost a labor force, Sister-in-law Wang has been cheating and refusing to tidy up the crops in the field conscientiously. As a result, the fields have grown overgrown with weeds and most of the crops have been eaten by pests. This autumn harvest has yielded nothing at all. thing.

Sister-in-law Wang was worried that there would be no food to eat and the family would drink from the northwest wind, so she put her hand into other people's bowls. People in the village would dry food in the dojo, so she took advantage of the hot weather at noon and no one was watching, so she ran there with a cloth bag. She stole food from almost every household selling food.

Someone accidentally discovered that Sister-in-law Wang was secretly carrying food home at noon. Unfortunately, she was not caught on the spot, and the food she stole was not much. She is also a woman who does not stingy. If someone accuses her of stealing food, she can She took off her pants and sued the man for being a gangster and molesting her.

Everyone had a headache, so they just turned a blind eye and considered themselves unlucky. They usually kept a close eye on the food when it was exposed, and did not give Mrs. Wang a chance to steal the food. But the person she had been stolen from hated her in the end, and if they had any objections on the way, they wouldn't even bother to say anything to her.

The most troublesome thing is the group of children of the Wang family, big and small. They often get into other people's corn fields, sweet potato fields, and vegetable fields in groups, either stealing corn, digging sweet potatoes and stealing vegetables. It would have been fine if they were just stealing, but they ran rampant inside, trampling all the corn, sweet potatoes, and vegetables to the ground.

These half-grown children can run away again, and even if they are discovered, they cannot be chased away. If they find the Wang family, Wang's sister-in-law and the two frail old people from the Wang family will make a fuss and cry, begging the villagers who come to ask for explanations. Death, in short, he just refused to admit that his children were at fault, scolded the villagers for looking for trouble, and bullied their orphans and widowed mothers.

It's been so many times that it's strange that the people in the village treat their family so well!

At this time, everyone's attention has shifted to criticizing the Wang family. The Wu family's visit to the Wang family is bound to have a beginning and an end. However, taking this opportunity, Liu Qingqing's "life experience" was spread, and it is unlikely that anyone will doubt her identity in the future.

As for the people from Lao Mo's family, they are now like invisible people in the village. Even if they tell the truth, just like Sister-in-law Wang, no one will believe them.

Mo Yan did not expect that the painting style would turn out like this, and he did not imagine the Wu family and the Wang family fighting each other for 300 rounds. But this is not harmful to the Wu family, and there is no need for her to step in to help.

It was not until later that Mo Yan found out that Sister-in-law Wang was jealous of the Wu family's increasingly prosperous life, and deliberately fabricated rumors. As a result, she discovered Liu Qingqing's true origin. The reason why she is jealous of the Wu family is that she, like the Wu family, has no men. Her family's life is only slightly better than that of beggars, but the Wu family lives in a brick house and has meat for every meal.

Such a gap made her feel extremely unbalanced, thinking that without a man as the backbone, the Wu family would have been as miserable as the Wang family. It has to be said that there are not many such weirdos in the world, but Sister-in-law Wang is particularly "extraordinary".

Looking at the embarrassed Sister-in-law Wang, Sister-in-law Cai spat hard. "This woman really deserves it! If you want to live a good life and don't stir up trouble everywhere, will others have trouble getting along with her as a woman?"

There is also a deep grudge between Sister-in-law Cai and Sister-in-law Wang. Their husbands' family names are both Wang, but one is prosperous and the other is getting more and more depressed. This also makes Sister-in-law Wang feel unbalanced and often speaks ill of Sister-in-law Cai everywhere.

"Whatever she is, if she is really kicked out of the village, I have no sympathy for her at all." Mrs. Zhou said with disdain, completely indifferent to people like Sister-in-law Wang.

"Who would sympathize with this kind of person? He is a disaster wherever he goes." The other women who followed agreed, which showed how unpopular Sister-in-law Wang was.

Mo Yan was not interested in staying any longer, so he told Mrs. Wu and went back with the little flowers and furballs who were enjoying watching the fun. Although Sister-in-law Cai and others wanted to stay and take a look, they were paid and had no nerve to waste time.

Sister-in-law Wang and her family were not driven out of Liuyang Village in the end. After all, they were still old and young. Driving them away was tantamount to forcing them to die. No matter how much the people in the village hated them, no one would wish them to die. Even the Wu family would not advocate this.

However, after this incident, the reputation of the Wang family in the village was as good as that of the old Mo family. No one was willing to deal with them anymore. Sister-in-law Wang was also frightened and did not dare to be as presumptuous as before. Over time, the whole family became Even though she had become an invisible person, even if she caused a splash, it was because her children went to other people's fields to harm crops.

Time flies, and it's mid-October in the blink of an eye. After a year and a half, the main building of the winery has been fully completed. It will be carefully arranged according to the original drawings next spring to create a garden with mountains, water, flowers and trees. You can build a winery and add wine-making equipment inside, and you will be able to make wine when the orchard harvests in autumn.

On the day of completion, Yan Junyu, who had not been seen for a long time, unexpectedly appeared. The petite Princess Chang'an stood side by side with him and congratulated Mo Yan with a smile. Unexpectedly, Yan Junyu did not shy away at all.

The two still bickered, but Mo Yan clearly felt that the disgust on Yan Junyu's face was much less. Sometimes the quarrel became fierce, and he was able to control his temper and stopped saying those hurtful words.

Princess Chang'an was quite strange. Every time Yan Junyu asked her not to quarrel with her, she seemed to be missing something, and the words she said became more and more irritating, and she had to force the person to run away before she gave up.

Mo Yan didn't know what happened between the two of them. She said she couldn't understand Princess Chang'an's unique way of pursuing her husband. Every time the two of them quarreled, it was fun to watch from the sidelines.

"Hey, I heard that your houses have been built. Let me take this princess to have a look." On the way back from the winery, Princess Chang'an suddenly became interested and wanted to visit the built resettlement houses.

"Okay, I will take the princess there right now, but the road is a bit difficult, so please be careful." Mo Yan agreed with a smile, looked at Yan Junyu and asked, "Young Master, are you going?"

Yan Junyu was also somewhat interested, so he raised his chin and signaled Mo Yan to lead the way.

Mo Yan then walked to the front and led the way for the two of them. The three of them walked through two orchards and arrived at the first resettlement house.

The area of this resettlement house is quite large, with thirty-six rooms in three rows. All the things that need to be added have been added. It will only take two days for Qinan to bring back the soldiers from the border and spread them with cotton quilts. alright.

In case the two of them came over, Mo Yan didn't bring the key, so he could only stand outside the house and look. Fortunately, the window had to be opened every day for ventilation, so he could see clearly even if he stood by the window and looked in.

Seeing that the things inside were very complete, and all the things that could be used daily could be seen, and all of them were new, Princess Chang'an nodded with satisfaction: "When I return to the palace, I have to have a good talk with the emperor's uncle. , let Uncle Huang reward you well."

"This is all the credit of His Highness the Crown Prince. I can't take it away from you." Mo Yan declined politely, not really having any idea about the so-called reward.

Although everyone in the know knows that it was her idea to place the soldiers at the border, this credit can only be attributed to His Royal Highness. If Emperor Hui'an rewarded her in a big way, others would know what was going on. She didn't want to show off, so the reward was enough. She only wanted this merit.

However, the fact that the princess of Chang'an can say such things shows that her status in Emperor Hui'an's heart is not low. Otherwise, let alone a princess, even the princess can't say who to reward, so let Emperor Hui'an reward whom.

Seeing Mo Yan's frankness, Princess Chang'an asked curiously: "You have spent so much effort, not for fame or profit, but what do you want?"

Of course it's for merit!

Mo Yan said silently in his heart, but said with his mouth: "I am not as noble as the princess said. The reason why I did this is because I lived a lot of hard life when I was a child. During festivals, I would pray in front of the Bodhisattva to help me live a happy life." Good day, if Bodhisattva can help me realize my wish, I will do more good deeds and be a good person throughout my life. I only provided shelter for those soldiers so that they no longer have to endure hunger, but they also have to help me Working can be said to be supporting oneself with one's own hands. If we really care about it, we don't owe each other anything."

This statement is not a lie. At least she did pray like this in front of the Bodhisattva before her soul returned to its place. However, there are too many people praying like her. She is lucky and her wish comes true. Now use This was the best reason to shut Princess Chang'an's mouth.

If you say that you sympathize with those soldiers and want to do something for them, wouldn't you be slapping the court and the royal family in the face? It would be easy for the court and the royal family to really solve the livelihood and pension problems of these people, but no one is willing to spend manpower and material resources on these people. The bottom line is that they just feel that these people are of no benefit to the country and don't want to bother.

As expected, Princess Chang'an had no doubts at all, but instead teased her: "I didn't expect you to be so childish, haha!"

Mo Yan rolled her eyes silently. You grew up with good food and clothing. Of course you cannot understand people who are driven into despair by poverty. They can only pray to God to support their slim hope of persevering.

The two of them were talking back and forth, but neither of them saw the distress in the eyes of Yan Junyu, who was at the back.

October 15th is a very unusual day for the Mo family. On this day, under the witness of His Royal Highness Prince Chu Heng and a group of ministers, three hundred old and frail soldiers at the border gate officially moved into the resettlement houses.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the benevolent and virtuous Crown Prince was recorded in history. In the following years, after all the tens of thousands of retired soldiers at the border were well resettled, Chu Heng's prestige in the army reached the top. Just because of this He was the only emperor who was willing to place soldiers who were "useless to the country". He was also the only prince and even the king who conquered the morale of the army without leading troops to fight.

Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne and killed more than a hundred corrupt officials with thunderous means. No one said he was cruel. Even when he took the initiative to issue an order and sent troops to attack the restless small countries around him, he was praised by the world. With the style of Taizu, there are no militaristic remarks in the history books.

Of the 300 retired soldiers brought back by Qinan, more than half were over fifty years old. This group of old people was also the most difficult group to live at the border. They are old and weak and cannot do heavy work. A large number of them have been seriously injured in their early years and have hidden diseases, and they can only lie in bed when they attack.

If it were not for the constant support of other retired soldiers who could still manage to survive, these stubborn old people who refused to accept any more relief from the court would have died of hunger or illness long ago.

The remaining half of the retired soldiers are of varying ages, ranging from teenagers of 17 or 18 years old who have not yet been married, to middle-aged people in their forties. They had all been injured on the battlefield, some had lost arms, some had lost legs, and there were also patients who had suffered severe internal injuries and had no idea how long they could survive.

Mo Yan had long expected this situation, and shamelessly invited all the doctors from the Du Family Medical Center, including her master, to check the health of these soldiers and prescribe medicine to treat their illnesses.

Everyone knows that this group of people does not have much labor force. They say that they work for the Mo family to support themselves. It is just to let these people who sacrificed for the country put down their burdens and let them stay here to retire in peace.

Just because he saw the true situation of this group of people, Chu Heng's understanding of Mo Yan rose to a new level, and his impression of her became much better, so much so that he felt that except for the issue of birth, there was nothing unworthy of her. Fucked his cousin.

As for the ministers, they did not come in vain. They all took out the money they had prepared and handed it into Mo Yan's hands, saying that they had done their best.

Whether they were for show or sincere, Mo Yan had no reason to refuse, so he collected them all and put them together separately as medical expenses for these soldiers. She has plenty of medicinal materials and can let the soldiers use them for free, but she can't let her master suffer. What's more, all the doctors from the medical clinic are here this time, so she can't let them go back empty-handed.

After working for a whole day, 300 retired soldiers were finally placed, and Mo Yan was paralyzed from exhaustion. Fortunately, Chu Heng and the ministers had a clue. After seeing the houses where the soldiers lived and the new clothes they were given, they returned to the city and were too embarrassed to stay at Mo's house.

Mo Yan was not the only one in the Mo family who kept his feet off the ground, but the others were also busy cooking for the soldiers all day long. After the last dinner after moving to Liuyang Village, everyone slumped on their chairs and didn't even want to clear away the dishes.

“Sister, do we have to hire a few people to cook for the soldiers?” Thinking of having to do it again tomorrow, Xiner frowned and suggested to her sister pitifully.

"There's no need to hire anyone. Once they get used to it, I'll see who can cook. Then let them cook by themselves. We can just deliver the ingredients to them every day. Let's work harder these two days." Mo Yan didn't. Agree with Xin'er's suggestion.

These soldiers who are struggling among the dead are not willing to accept help from others in vain, even if they are short of hands and feet. Although it is well-intentioned to hire someone to cook for them, it also hurts their self-esteem. They can't do heavy work, but cooking is not difficult. It's more comfortable for them to do it by themselves.

"Okay then..." Xin'er didn't understand her sister's considerations, but she didn't question her sister's decision.
