"Mrs. Yang, you are here, but you must make the decision for me. This woman just hit me."

After seeing the old woman, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the old woman's origins.

It turned out that the couple were from the capital. His old man looked well-educated. His surname was Yang, and it was said that he had retired and returned to his hometown. He had previously been an official in the capital, working under the nose of the current emperor.

Old Madam Yang has some fame in the alley.

Because the old couple had their own dignity, people in the alley were a little afraid of them, so when Old Madam Yang appeared, everyone naturally fell silent.

Only Wang Huahua, the villain, filed the complaint first.

Shen Yan thought back to the past. Under Wang Huahua's instigation, she had indeed done many bad things. Such things would naturally not leave a good impression under the eyes of Old Madam Yang.

So when she saw Old Madam Yang come out, she naturally kept silent, wanting to see what the old lady had to say.

"There is a school in this alley. You are cursing here. Don't you want the children to go to class?"

Madam Yang was naturally blaming this group of people, whether they were quarreling or just watching the fun, crowding in this narrow alley, which really disturbed the quietness of the school.

Wang Huahua pointed at Shen Yan confidently, her voice in tears: "I, I just wanted to discuss some ways of managing the family with her, but she actually hit me, this is too much, old lady, you must make the decision for me!"

"Isn't this because she's the county magistrate's wife and she looks down on us?" Wang Huahua said sarcastically, wanting to put all the blame on Shen Yan and portray her as an unforgivable person.

Old Madam Yang didn't buy it. Although she knew that Shen Yan had done many wrong things in the past, she still had to put one thing in perspective. Looking at Shen Yan's expression this time, it didn't seem like she was deliberately causing trouble.

"What does someone else's family background have to do with you? Since they are already married, how to manage the family is up to you. What if they don't want to discuss it with you? You are not their father, so why are you so eager to be their stepmother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter all around.

Although Madam Yang was the wife of a scholar, she was also somewhat sharp-tongued and never gave up when she spoke.

"Just live your own life well. Some people can't even handle their own family affairs, so why do they bother to care about other people's family affairs? What does it have to do with you whether others live a good life or not?"

What he said did make sense, and the onlookers around him nodded silently.

Indeed, Wang Huahua couldn't even live her own life well.

"You do nothing every day, you are so poor, and you still want to teach others how to run a household?"

"She is the wife of the county magistrate after all. She doesn't need to work as hard as she does, right?"

"That's right. A woman who goes to the river to wash clothes every day, with endless clothes to wash and endless children to take care of, how can she worry about other people's affairs first?"

"Besides, she is an illiterate person, what can she say make sense? It's nothing more than mocking others. Miss Shen doesn't understand, but we do. Now Miss Shen also understands, so isn't she waiting to be beaten?"

"That's right."

Anyway, everyone around was talking about Wang Huahua's faults.

Wang Huahua's face looked a little ugly. The onlookers pointed their criticism at her, and she hated Shen Yan even more.

In the past, this girl never dared to disobey her, which was why she was able to play Shen Yan around in circles. But today, this girl seemed to have suddenly grown up.

Even if she was a thousand times reluctant, she had to bow her head in front of Old Madam Yang.

At the same time, Shen Yan apologized first.

"What the old lady said is right. It's all my fault. I apologize to my sister here. I was really angry and lost control just now. I will remember what the old lady said and will not do it again."

No one expected that Shen Yan could speak so gently. She was completely different from when she was arguing with Wang Huahua just now.

This is not the point. The point is, Shen Yan actually apologized?

Everyone knows that Shen Yan's father is a scholar, and they are considered a scholarly family in this alley.

But she had such a daughter, who could not be taught no matter what she did. She could not behave herself and could not speak clearly. More importantly, she only knew how to eat, and she ate like a pig.

Her gentle apology at this moment formed a sharp contrast with her previous image.

She is usually arrogant and domineering, but now she bows her head in front of everyone, which is even more incredible.

No one could believe it, but the weather didn't change. The sun still rose from the east, and the world didn't turn upside down.

This is really strange.

Some people think that it is probably because Shen Yan married a good husband. After all, he is an official and he will definitely have some requirements for his wife and will not let her mess around outside like before.

Thinking of this, everyone felt that the County Magistrate Song Yunfeng was indeed a good man, at least he was a good housekeeper.

The men among the spectators admired Song Yunfeng very much, because everyone wanted to take good care of his wife.

Shen Yan used to be careless, brainless and vain, but after getting married, her personality changed.

This shows that Song Yunfeng does have some skills. Even a wicked woman like her can become a good person, which means he married the right person.

Seeing Shen Yan admitting her mistake so low-key, Madam Yang's expression changed slightly, but she still had that stern look.

She said a few words to Shen Yan: "Now that you are married, you should know that your man still has a long way to go. He can't stay here as a county magistrate forever. You should know that as a wife, you should at least not be a stumbling block on his way forward."

What the old lady said made a lot of sense. Shen Yan listened to her teachings with an open mind and nodded modestly.

For some reason, the old lady's tone was a little different when she mentioned her man. It felt as if they had known each other before.

However, Shen Yan didn't think much about it, because at this time, something happened at the school again.

The school was originally located in an alley, very close to everyone. It was noisy over there, so naturally people here noticed it.

Just now, Shen Yan was still wondering whether the old lady had any relationship with the county magistrate, and wanted to find an opportunity to ask.

Because she always felt that when the old lady mentioned Song Yunfeng, she felt completely different, and her attitude seemed to be different as well.

Somewhat familiar, yet also somewhat weird.

A student ran over to the school and headed towards Old Madam Yang.

"Madam, madam, there is an accident in the school, come and save people!" The person who came was the child of Yu family at the east end of the town, and he seemed to be someone who knew what was going on.

He ran over in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead. By the time he reached the crowd, he was almost out of strength.

The onlookers grabbed him, told him to stop running, and knocked him down.

"What's wrong? Mr. Yang is not here today, so we can't help you. Please tell us."
