Xia Jinnian: "Hmph, I think you've grown too powerful. Don't think you've found a backer and your sister-in-law will speak for you now."
"I can't do anything with you. Believe it or not, I'll let you go out for training right now?"
"Haha," Tang Shiyan laughed twice. Jinnian, I'm going to the back mountain to collect grass for the pigs. If you want them to train, go quickly.
"And the kang-making master will come over to make your kang soon. You can entertain him at home and help him."
"Okay, Yanyan, go to work without worry."
Tang Shiyan carried her backpack and headed towards the brigade headquarters. When she reached the threshing ground, the brigade leader stood there, shouting with a loud speaker, "Is everyone here?"
Old Lady Yang said, "Captain, if you have anything to say, just say it. Is it fun to keep acting like a captain?"
"Hurry up and finish talking so everyone can get back to work. Don't delay others from earning work points."
The captain roared, "Aunt Yang, why are you always like this? You are the only one who seems to be the most capable."
"Every time there's a meeting to discuss something, you're the first one to jump in and start talking non-stop."
"Now you know you have to work hard to earn work points, so why were you doing that before?"
Old Lady Yang immediately shut up. The captain said, "I have something to tell you today. Yesterday, several soldiers came to our village. I'm sure you all know about it."
"They are here on a secret mission because they are looking for a place to stay and someone to cook for them."
"So I arranged for them to live in Tang Yatou's house. If any of you gossip or spread rumors, don't blame me for deducting your work points."
"The soldiers are the pillars of our country, protecting us ordinary people from being bullied by the Japanese."
"If any of you point fingers at them and they say something rude to you, you can't blame them. It's your own fault."
"I've made it clear to you all. If anyone refuses to believe in evil and insists on provoking others, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
But there was someone she just didn't believe. Old Lady Liu said sarcastically, "There's plenty of vacant rooms at the village headquarters, so why do you want to stay at Tang's house?"
"Could it be that Miss Tang saw how handsome they were and gave you, Captain, some favors, asking you to arrange for them to stay at her house?"
"You really have no shame. A little girl has several grown men living at home. You are not afraid of being laughed at."
"Or maybe she already knew those soldiers. What's her relationship with them? Didn't Tang go to the city a few days ago?"
"I'm afraid he went to look for them. Otherwise, they would have come to our village right after Miss Tang came back."
"Captain, you're the only one who's been foolishly kept in the dark. You don't know."
Those aunts were beaten so badly by Tang Shiyan yesterday, but they learned their lesson today and didn't say a word.
Old Lady Sun also echoed, "I'm afraid Miss Tang has already hooked up with those people, otherwise why would they move into her house right after they arrived?"
"Before, he would always work half a day and disappear for the next half. What else could he do except to look for those soldiers?"
"No wonder he eats meat every day, wears clothes without a patch, and even bought a new bicycle. It turns out he was enlisted a long time ago."
Tang Shiyan walked through the crowd and slapped Old Lady Yang and Old Lady Sun twice in the face.
"I say, you two old witches are about to die. You are gossiping here. Believe it or not, I will cut off your tongues and feed them to the dogs."
"What's it to you what happens to me? You're all old-timers now. Maybe next year you'll be lying in the ground."
"You should do more good deeds so that you can leave a good impression when you die. Don't gossip about others for no reason. This will help you accumulate more virtue for your descendants."
"I can buy a bicycle, eat meat, and wear nice clothes because I earned it through my own ability. There are so many medicinal herbs in the mountains behind. If you have the ability, you can pick them yourself. If you sell them, you will have money, right?"
"Are you too old to even go to the back mountain? Or do you not know those medicinal herbs?"
"If any of you dare to slander me and those soldiers again, you won't just get away with a few slaps in the face."
Old Lady Sun: "How dare you, a bitch, lay hands on us old people? Do you have any sense of law? I will beat you to death today."
Old Lady Sun stretched out her hand to hit Tang Shiyan, but Tang Shiyan grabbed her hand and pushed it back hard. Old Lady Sun retreated a long distance.
"How come you're so old and still want to hit someone? You're so disrespectful to your elders. No wonder I heard your daughter-in-law treats you badly. It turns out you're such a foul-mouthed person and you like to show off."
Old Lady Liu: "You bitch, not only did you hit us, you also pushed us. You are so young and disrespectful to the elderly. Who would dare to marry you in the future?"
"Oh, you old witch Liu, are you still looking for a fight? You still speak so foul language, why should I respect you?"
"You were the ones who disrespected the elderly first, and you still want others to respect you? I'm afraid you're dreaming."
"Whether someone will marry me in the future is my own business. I don't need you old witches to worry about it. You like to worry about other people's affairs so much."
"You might as well worry more about your own family. Be careful that when you die, no one will dig a grave for you. They will just carry you out and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."
Old Lady Sun said, "You bitch! Not only did you hit me, but you also pushed me! I'm going to report you to the police and have them arrest you and put you in jail."
"With so many people watching, how can you deny it then?"
Tang Shiyan sneered twice and said, "You old witch, then go and report it, preferably now. I want to see how the police arrest me."
"Who was the first to start gossiping? How could you say such nonsense? So many people were here and heard it clearly."
"Besides, the captain is here too. Even if others don't tell the truth, the captain will always tell the truth."
"Anyone who dares to tell lies in front of the police will be charged with harboring a false accusation and will also be sentenced to life imprisonment."
No one responded to what Tang Shiyan said, because they all heard clearly that it was the two old ladies who started the trouble first.
If they hadn't said that to Tang Shiyan, they wouldn't have been beaten by her. They deserved it.
The captain said, "Girl Tang is right. If you two hadn't started the fight first and started gossiping and slandering others, would she have hit you?"
"Also, I just said that anyone who talks nonsense will have their work points deducted. I mean it. Old Lady Liu and Old Lady Sun will each have two days' work points deducted."
"Shumeng, remember this well."
Jiang Shumeng: "Dad, I understand. I promise to remember it well."
