Several people got on the ox cart, and Uncle Jiang drove the cart towards the third brigade. It felt like the journey went by very quickly and they arrived home in no time.
Uncle Jiang sent them to Tang Shiyan's house before going back. It was time to get off work, and the aunts saw the four soldiers moving into her house.
They all stared with their eyes wide open as if they wanted to eat someone. Tang Shiyan pretended not to see anything and ignored them.
She knew what those aunts were thinking. They must be wondering why these four people moved into her house as soon as they arrived. Could they be up to something?
At this time, Sun Muyan happened to be leaving work with the aunts and saw Xia Jinnian and the other three. She had always hated Tang Shiyan.
She hated her because Tang Shiyan was prettier than her, richer than her, and could even build her own house.
The work she does is the easiest, and she just can't stand the fact that a country girl lives better than her, a girl from the city?
Now that she saw such a handsome soldier living in Tang Shiyan's house, she was even more jealous. How could a cheap country girl have contact with these soldiers?
And he is so handsome. Only she, Sun Muyan, is worthy of chatting up these people.
No, she had to find a way to lure the most handsome one over, and ignore the other three. If they stayed together for too long and got seduced away by that bitch Tang Shiyan, it would be too late.
Tang Shiyan didn't know what Sun Muyan was thinking at this time. If she knew that Jinnian dared to think about her, she would definitely let her taste the consequences of thinking about others.
She will end up like Zhao Qianqian. Since she doesn't want to stay in the educated youth site, it's not a bad idea to let her go somewhere else.
An aunt said, "Hey, Miss Tang, you have guests at home, four handsome young men."
"How can a little girl like you have four men living in your house? It would be terrible if it got out. People would gossip about it."
"I've already bought the quilts and daily necessities. I plan to stay in your house for a long time. It seems you'll have a lot to do."
Another aunt echoed, "Maybe they had contact before, but we just didn't know about it."
"No wonder this girl Tang always goes to work in the morning and disappears in the afternoon. Last time, she even took a special leave to go to the city. I'm afraid she went there to have a secret rendezvous with these men."
"Otherwise, how could she have so much money to buy meat and such beautiful clothes?"
"She has a foxy face and goes around flirting with men, and she even flirted with four of them at once.
"I don't know if all four of us should do it together or take turns? Aren't you afraid you might hurt your back and be unable to get out of bed?"
Sun Muyan stood aside with a sinister smile. She just liked watching these people slander Tang Shiyan.
When Xia Jinnian and the others heard these words, they were so angry that they wanted to slap these gossiping old women to death.
Just as they stood up and were about to walk over, Tang Shiyan stopped them. She knew that Xia Jinnian wanted to vent his anger for her, but now was not the time.
She walked up to the aunts and slapped each of them twice. "I say, you old witches, don't you think you've lived too long? You're already half buried in the earth, yet you're still meddling in other people's business."
"Your voice stinks. Is there no food at home? I was so hungry at noon and ate feces, so my mouth stinks."
"Hurry up and go wash yourself with water, or your boss won't let you sleep on the kang tonight."
"You guys always want to get involved in everything. I have meat to eat and can buy nice clothes to wear, but I earned that with my own ability."
"They are soldiers who came here to carry out a mission. This is the first time we have met each other. It was the captain who arranged for them to stay in my house."
"Why do you have any objections? If you have any, go talk to the captain instead of just clucking like a bunch of old hens."
"Don't think that just because you're an old lady, I can't do anything to you. If you do it again, it won't just be a couple of slaps."
An auntie roared, "How dare you, a bitch, hit us? You really don't know how to respect your elders. Even if we are not related, we are still your elders."
"Everyone saw you letting four grown men live in your house. They didn't wrongly accuse you. You really can't let others say anything after you've done it."
Tang Shiyan slapped the aunt twice again, "You old witch, you dare to call me a bitch? It seems you really don't want to live anymore."
"You say you are elders, but what kind of elders are you? How can elders like you slander and defame the younger generation?"
"If you want others to respect you, you must first learn how to treat others well. And what have I done? You must explain it to me today."
"Which of your eyes saw me doing something shameful with the four of them, or did you hear it with your own ears?"
"If you can't produce any evidence, I'll report you to the police and sue you for defamation. I'll have you buried halfway in the earth and then put you in a dark cell, waiting to die."
"Do you know what it means to defame and slander soldiers? It's a capital offense. You might be taken away by the police soon and never see the sun again."
The captain also heard several old ladies slandering and defaming Tang Shiyan and the four soldiers from behind.
He was so angry that he didn't know what to say to them. They just loved to stir up trouble, gossip, and talk nonsense every day, making things out of nothing.
People like them are suitable to be dealt with by people like Tang Shiyan. They should be slapped more often. It's their fault for being so mean.
At this time, the team leader stepped forward and said, "I say, you old ladies, aren't you tired of working? You still have time to meddle in other people's affairs."
"Such harsh words, these soldiers need a place to live and someone to help them cook."
"So I thought about letting Tang Yatou live alone. Her house is so big anyway, so I arranged for them to live in Tang Yatou's house. Do you have any objections or something?
"You are just being so indiscriminate and slandering others without even understanding the situation."
"It seems the only option is to report you to the police and have you arrested and locked up in a dark cell, just like Tang said."
When the aunts heard Tang Shiyan and the team leader say they would call the police, they were so scared that they trembled.
She immediately apologized to Tang Shiyan, "Tang girl, I'm sorry. It's the fault of the aunts. We shouldn't have slandered you without knowing the truth."
"Just let us go and don't report us to the police. We don't want to be buried in the earth and then have to stay in a small dark room."
"We are the ones who are mean and shouldn't say that to you. As long as you can forgive us, we will do anything you ask us to do."
Tang Shiyan looked at them with fierce eyes, "Remember, if you let me hear these words again in the future, I will never be soft-hearted and will definitely send you to the Public Security Bureau myself."
