What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Ye Tang looked at Aunt Li: "If my father hadn't chased you and beat you up today, you would have continued to spread rumors about me in the village. If rumors spread too much, falsehood can become true. No one would listen to my explanation, and my reputation would be completely ruined. Aunt Li, you almost ruined my life with your quick words."

The people present thought it made sense. Their eyes changed from defending Aunt Li to condemning her. They stood on Ye Tang's side and spoke for him, saying that Ye Peng did a good job.

Ye Tang was already used to the attitudes of the villagers. She said calmly, "Auntie Li is right about one thing. I did divorce Xiao Zhonghe."

Zhao Dongsheng's eyes moved slightly and he clenched his fists subconsciously.

Did she really divorce Xiao Zhonghe?

Ye Tang continued, "The reason I divorced Xiao Zhong was not because I abused my parents-in-law, but because Xiao Zhong had another woman outside and made that woman pregnant. He framed me for her and wanted to divorce me and take my dowry. I refused to comply and got a divorce..."

In a few words, she explained the truth about the divorce.

Everyone present felt unfair for her when they heard this.

But Ye Tang said, "Uncles and aunts, you don't have to sympathize with me. I will be better off if I leave the Xiao family. Instead of caring about me, you should go find Xiao Zhong and ask about the people who were sent to the army with him. I remember that someone in your family was also taken to the army."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly understood.

"Yes! Xiao Zhong is the one who was exiled. He is the only one who has returned from that group of people. We can ask him for information!"

They were distracted by Aunt Li's rumors and forgot that Xiao Zhong had returned alive from the battlefield.

"Let's go, let's go find Xiao Zhong."

Everyone dispersed quickly, with one person from each family going in groups to Qingquan Village to look for Xiao Zhong.

Aunt Li and Liu Ergui were still lying on the ground.

Ye Tang looked at the mother and son calmly and said, "Aunt Li, my reputation has been ruined. You scared my father. You have to compensate us."

Ye Ping'an was already furious. When he heard what his sister said, he immediately covered his chest, cried out and fell to the ground: "I can't take it anymore. Aunt Li is so angry that my chest hurts. I need ginseng to keep me alive. Help!"

Zhao Dongsheng, who hadn't left yet, twitched his eyes.

Aunt Li shuddered.

The Ye family is trying to extort money again.

No matter how reluctant Aunt Li and her son were, they could not withstand the brutality of Ye Peng's family of three, and resigned themselves to agreeing to give 300 coins as compensation. They could not afford any more money, and then, Aunt Li swore that she would never gossip about Ye Tang again.

Ye Peng then let them go: "Send the three hundred coins to my house within half an hour, and don't force me to go to your house to ask for it."

"We will definitely send it to you. We will definitely send it to you." Aunt Li was so obedient at this moment that she took Liu Ergui and ran away.

Liu Ergui turned around and took a peek at Ye Tang. When Ye Tang gave him a look, he subconsciously shrank his neck and ran faster.

Ye Tang turned around and thanked Zhao Dongsheng: "Thank you for speaking up for justice just now."

Zhao Dongsheng's ears turned red. "You're welcome. What are your plans for the future?"

A divorced woman must remarry within three months. Who will Ye Tang marry?

"I want to farm." Ye Tang told the truth. This was what she wanted to do most at the moment.

Zhao Dongsheng: “…farming?” Aren’t you looking for another good husband?

"How is Sanxi doing recently?" Ye Tang suddenly asked.

Zhao Sanxi is Zhao Dongsheng's sister and her close friend.

Zhao Dongsheng came back to his senses: "She is fine. She is going to get married in early August. She is making her wedding dress at home. She doesn't know you are home yet. I will go tell her later."

"Okay, if she's free, she can come see me." She didn't have time to be with her bestie before, but now she has time.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Tang returned home with his father and brother.

Zhao Dongsheng looked at her departing back, thoughtful.

After returning home, she told Zhao Sanxi about Ye Tang's divorce, and then went to find her father, the village chief, and said bluntly: "Dad, I want to marry Ye Tang."

After Aunt Li and her son returned home, Liu's father learned that they had offended Ye Peng and was furious.

"Why did you provoke Ye Peng, you idiot? Don't you know who he is? Didn't you get beaten enough before?" Father Liu was so angry that he slapped Aunt Li in the face: "You stinky bitch, you always spew shit everywhere. Now, not only did you get beaten, but you also lost the 300 coins. I worked hard to earn money, and you just wasted it!"

He had to give the money. If he didn't deliver it to his door, with Ye Peng's temper, he would definitely come to his house and make a mess.

Father Liu was so angry that he cursed Aunt Li and her son several times.

After he finished scolding, Liu Ergui raised his head weakly and said with his neck stiff, "Dad, I want to marry Ye Tang!"

Aunt Li and Father Liu were horrified. Father Liu hit him with a stick and said, "You are dreaming. You married a woman as fierce as Ye Tang and asked our whole family to serve her!"

Aunt Li now despises Ye Tang: "A divorced woman is an unfortunate person. There is no benefit in marrying her. I will never let such a dirty bitch enter our house."

A woman who marries for the second time is equivalent to serving two men. If that's not dirty, then what is it? A woman should be loyal to only one man throughout her life.

Before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, there was no such thing as divorce by peaceful consent. There was only divorce. Once a woman was divorced by her husband's family, it proved that she had problems and stains in her character. Divorce by peaceful consent meant that the husband's family was not in the right.

But in Aunt Li's opinion, whether it was a divorce or a divorce, Ye Tang had problems.

......

Ye Peng and his children returned home and smelled a fragrance as soon as they entered the door.

"What delicious food did you make? It smells so tempting!"

Ye Ping'an laughed and said, "Sister taught me how to make meat buns and meat patties. I'll give them to you to try."

He ran to the kitchen excitedly.

Ye Peng sighed and looked at his daughter: "Don't pay attention to what those people in the village say."

"I never care. They have mouths on their bodies. They can say whatever they want. Just don't let me hear it, otherwise I will tear their mouths apart." Ye Tang looked calm.

Ye Peng nodded in appreciation: "Well, my daughter, Ye Peng, should be this tough."

Ye Ping'an brought over three meat patties, one for each of them.

Ye Peng took a bite and his eyes lit up instantly: "It's delicious, the meat is fragrant and the fragrance lingers in my mouth. This is the most delicious meat pie I have ever eaten."

There are meat pies sold in town, but none of them can compare to the ones his daughter makes.

"Ping An, learn from your sister. You can do business in meat buns and meat patties."

Just as the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Liu's father came to apologize with three hundred coins.

Ye Peng took the money and glared at him: "Let's just let it go this time. If you dare to do it again, it won't be just three hundred coins."

After Liu's father bowed and apologized a few times and promised repeatedly that he would restrain his wife and children, Ye Peng waved his hand and told him to get out.

After this incident, the rumors about Ye Tang in the village gradually dissipated.

Just after the afternoon, Zhao Sanxi came to look for Ye Tang.

She felt that Ye Tang's efforts over the past year were not worth it, and then talked about remarrying.

"Why don't you consider my second brother? Although he is a little old and boring, he is still someone you understand."
