The wife of two taels of silver

Lin Haitang rarely goes out, only going out to buy things. Usually she stays at home teaching Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan to read.

The weather is getting warmer. Although it is still cold, you don’t need to wear so thick clothes, and the small river in the village is no longer frozen.

The thinner the clothes, the more prominent the figure. The people in the village also saw Lin Haitang's bulging belly.

Now, everyone in the village knew that Lin Haitang was pregnant, and the rumors spread like wildfire.

No one told Lin Haitang, and these words did not reach Lin Haitang's ears.

Recently, the morning sickness has passed, and Lin Haitang's appetite has increased dramatically. Every day he thinks about making something to eat.

I want to eat spicy boiled fish today.

The air is very good today, the sun shines softly on her body, and the grass on the roadside has sprouted tender green buds. Walking on the road, Lin Haitang is in a very happy mood.

Lin Haitang found the old man who sold fish and caught a five-jin grass carp.

She asked the old man to help kill the fish, and then she just had to fillet it when she got home and cook it.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan are both big eaters, and Xiaobai is also a big eater. Lin Haitang plans to make a pot of spicy food for herself and make non-spicy boiled fish for the three kids.

I was carrying the fish home and met many people from the village on the way.

"Haitang, you're out buying things again." The person who spoke was clearly smiling, but he felt like he had bad intentions.

"Yeah." Lin Haitang responded lazily, and continued to talk without stopping.

"Bah! I don't know which wild man got you pregnant. You're so shameless." Old Mrs. Ma spat at Lin Haitang's back.

She spoke in a loud voice and Lin Haitang heard it.

Lin Haitang stopped, turned around with a dark face, and walked over: "What did you say? Say it again."

"Oh, Haitang, you heard it wrong. Your Aunt Ma didn't say anything." Aunt Qiao smiled awkwardly to smooth things over.

Who knew that the old woman would not appreciate it, and said with a pair of mean eyes: "Ah! You did it and you don't let people say it? A bitch like you should be thrown into the pig cage!"

"Old Ma, what are you doing?"

"Stop talking!"

Several women around were busy pulling Old Lady Ma.

Lin Haitang felt the blood rushing to her head. She threw the fish in her hand to the ground and pounced on Old Lady Ma to tear her mouth apart.

"I let you talk nonsense!"

Everyone tried to pull Lin Haitang out, but failed. Lin Haitang touched Old Lady Ma's mouth and pulled her out, wanting to tear her mouth apart with both hands.

"I'll rip your mouth apart, you old bitch!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Old Mrs. Ma struggled, her mouth was torn so hard that it hurt, and she backed away when she couldn't break free.

As he stepped back, he stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.

Lin Haitang was afraid of falling, so he let go of her mouth.

"Oh! My mouth! Oh my God!"

Old Mrs. Ma lay on the ground, covering her mouth and rolling around. She didn't dare to open her mouth wide, so her shouting was a little unclear.

Her mouth was really torn by Lin Haitang and was bleeding.

Lin Haitang was still not satisfied and couldn't bend down, so she simply sat on Old Lady Ma, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth.

"You're not talking clean, are you? Let me clean it for you!"

"Fuck you, I told you to stop talking nonsense!"

Lin Haitang was furious. After stuffing a handful of food with his right hand, he continued with his left hand.

The others tried to pull it, but they just couldn't.

"Haitang! Haitang, calm down!"

"Gu An's wife, you are still pregnant, stop messing around!"

"Oh, please let go of your Aunt Ma, she can't breathe!"

Lin Haitang didn't stop burying the dirt. She looked at the dirty mud on her hands with disgust, wiped it on Old Lady Ma, grabbed her hair, lifted her head, and asked, "Speak!"

"Did you see me looking for a strange man, or did you hear it from someone?"

Old Mrs. Ma was really scared. Her eyes were covered with mud and she couldn't open them. The cut at the corner of her mouth was still bleeding. Her mouth was full of mud and stones, and she could hardly breathe.

"I...I heard it from Li Hua..."

Lin Haitang let go of her head and slapped her in the face again: "Old thing, keep your mouth shut from now on!"

Seeing Lin Haitang got up, the others quickly lifted Old Lady Ma up, calling out to her ferocious appearance and backing away in fear.

Seeing that they couldn't pull Lin Haitang away, the old ladies quickly called Old Lady Ma's husband and son, and also called the village chief over.

"Mom!" As soon as Mrs. Ma's son saw her, he exclaimed and hurried over.

Lin Haitang wiped her hands with a handkerchief and picked up the fish on the ground without even looking at it.

"Lin Haitang! I can't kill you!" Seeing his mother being beaten half to death by someone, the man raised his hand and was about to hit her.

"Stop!" the village chief roared and stopped the man.

"Go ahead and hit me. If anything happens to the baby in my belly, I'll let you die in jail." Lin Haitang's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and she didn't even try to dodge.

If you could abort this thing from my belly, I would thank you. Lin Haitang complained inwardly.

"You should talk less." The village chief frowned and scolded Lin Haitang.

Li Youdao was really shocked when he saw the miserable appearance of Old Lady Ma.

Lin Haitang knew when to act weak. When she saw Li Youdao, she burst into tears and cried, "Village Chief, you must make the decision for me."

"I'm pregnant now, but I heard Aunt Ma say that to me," Lin Haitang puffed out her belly. "Those words made me want to jump into the river with the baby in my belly."

"What did your Aunt Ma say?" Li Youdao stared at Old Lady Ma. He knew that Old Lady Ma could not say anything good.

Lin Haitang covered her face and cried even harder, not answering Li Youdao's words.

"What do you think Youcai's mother said?" Seeing that Lin Haitang didn't answer, Li Youdao asked the people next to him.

Several women hesitated and finally said, "Speaking of Gu An's family, she is, is, is pregnant with a wild man's child..."

"Hmph, if you ask me, Aunt Ma, you really deserved the beating you received." Duan snorted coldly and took over the conversation.

She heard someone calling her husband, saying that Lin Haitang and Old Lady Ma were fighting and couldn't be separated, so Duan followed Li Youdao over.

Li Youdao stepped forward and lectured Old Lady Ma: "How dare you, as an elder, say such nonsense? If Haitang were to commit suicide, it would be a double loss! Can you afford such a consequence?"

"When Gu An comes back, aren't you afraid that he will knock on your door?" Li Youdao's saliva was about to spray on Old Lady Ma's face, and he was so angry that he wanted to slap her.

Li Baocai started to act like a scoundrel and said, "Uncle, I don't care! Lin Haitang beat my mother like this, she must pay me!"

Old Ma was indeed badly injured. Li Youdao persuaded Lin Haitang: "Haitang, this is all your Aunt Ma's fault, but you were too cruel."

Lin Haitang said, "Uncle, I won't make it difficult for you. Go and get the doctor. I'll pay for it."

"But uncle, I still need you to make the decision for me on this matter."

Li Youdao was very pleased to see Lin Haitang being so reasonable: "Just tell me."

"Aunt Ma said that she heard this from Aunt Li Hua. Uncle, I can't let people throw dirty water on me like this. I have to let her clear my name." After dealing with this old fool, there is another old fool.

"Okay, I'll get justice for you," Li Youdao said, then looked at his wife and said, "Old woman, I'll ask you to get a doctor. You stay here and see how much it costs."

"Don't worry," Duan looked at Lin Haitang again, patted her hands lovingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, Haitang, your uncle and aunt are here."

Lin Haitang nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Auntie, after the doctor finishes examining me, you can just take me to my house. I don't have enough money on me right now."

"Don't say anything, kid, just go." Duan felt even more distressed.

These old bastards are full of shit!

Lin Haitang followed Li Youdao, with a group of people behind them, and went to look for Li Hua.

Li Hua is Erhu's grandmother. She lives quite close to Lin Haitang's house. Every day, Erhu smells the aroma of meat wafting from Lin Haitang's house. Erhu always cries for meat and gets beaten a lot. Li Hua also scolds him indirectly.

"Grandma, why is the meat you made not tasty?" Erhu howled at her grandma at the top of her lungs!

Li Hua cursed even louder: "You wasted money! You said you wanted to eat meat, I made it for you, and you're still picky?"

Li Hua hit Erhu with her shoes.

"It's not delicious! Why isn't the food you made at Lin Shazi's house as delicious as the one he made?" Erhu said with his neck stiffened.

Li Hua became even angrier: "Then go live with that little bitch! Go be that little bitch's son!"

Lin Haitang outside the door sobbed even harder, Li Youdao's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and the villagers who came over to watch the fun also sighed.

"Have you scolded me enough?" Li Youdao roared and was the first to step into Erhu's house.

Hearing the noise, Li Hua came out from the inner room, cursing, "I'm cursing in my own home, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing so many people in the yard, he suddenly lost his temper, put on a smile, and said, "Youdao, what are you doing..."

"Aunt, let me ask you, what do you say about the Gu An family outside?" Li Youdao asked.

"I..." Li Hua said with a guilty conscience, stiffening her neck. "What can I say? I never said anything about her."

Everyone's attention was on Old Lady Li. Lin Haitang found a stick as thick as a thumb and took advantage of her stiff neck while speaking to hit her directly.

"You old witch, if I don't beat you up, I'll feel sorry for my husband who's fighting on the frontier." Lin Haitang turned to hit a place with more flesh.

"what!"

"Someone come! Help!"

"Killed!"

Old lady Li dodged and shouted, but at her age she couldn't outrun Lin Haitang and was hit quite a few times.

The villagers who were watching the excitement were also frightened and took a few steps back. Indeed, no one left. They formed a semi-circle and blocked Old Lady Li's way.

Li Youdao wanted to stop her, but as a grown man, he couldn't grab Lin Haitang, so he could only tell her to stop.

Lin Haitang wouldn't listen to him and continued beating him.

Only after he had fought enough did Lin Haitang throw away the stick in his hand.

"Gu An's family, you are too impulsive!" Li Youdao was angry. He had agreed to be the one making the decision, so why did he start hitting someone? "You are pregnant, what if you have a miscarriage?"

Lin Haitang said, "Uncle, I know you are angry, but I have to vent this anger."

"I know that even if I don't do it, you will help me seek justice, but I will be holding my breath in my heart. I will feel sorry for my husband who is far away on the battlefield. The most important thing is, you took care of it this time, but what about in the future?"

Li Youdao was silent.

Indeed, even if we take action this time, there will still be people saying these things in the future. Only when Lin Haitang makes these people suffer will they know how powerful he is and be able to control their mouths.

Lin Haitang looked at everyone with a cold expression and said, "I, Lin Haitang, will not cause trouble for no reason, but if you can't control your mouths, I will definitely tear your mouths apart."

"My husband sends me three taels of silver every month. Even if I spend it all on medical expenses, I'm willing to do it."

After a moment of silence, someone said, "Gu An's family, look at what you said. Who has nothing better to do than to talk about others?"

"Yeah, yeah, I have a lot of things going on at home."

"Yes, I will be even busier in the future. I won't even have time to drink a sip of water."

Everyone agreed.

"That would be best." Lin Haitang said.

"Uncle, please ask the doctor from Aunt Ma's place to come over here and take a look. After the examination, you can go home with me to get the money."

Li Youdao nodded.

In the end, Lin Haitang spent a total of 621 coins to keep the mouths of the entire village under control.

When we got home that night and lay in bed, some people were still discussing what had happened that day.

There are no secrets in the village, nor between villages, and Lin Haitang's reputation has spread.
