After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

She is nearly eight months pregnant and came to the river to wash vegetables this morning.

I heard some ladies discussing Shen Yunwan.

She also thought of how her mother-in-law not only sent chickens to Shen Yunwan, but also praised Shen Yunwan more highly than herself at home.

She gave birth to two sons for the Lin family, and now she is pregnant with another one. Normally, they would not give her an egg, but they would give her a hen that big.

She was also full of grievances.

Moreover, she had seen Shen Yunwan from afar in the past few days, and she was no longer the same as before, with fair skin and a slender waist.

She even wondered if her mother-in-law had taken a fancy to Shen Yunwan and wanted to divorce her.

"Cheng Yan family, don't be like those gossipy women. The baby in your belly is listening."

"Your mother-in-law is so grateful to Yun Wan, but you, the daughter-in-law, are trying to drag her down. Aren't you going against your mother-in-law?!"

"I get along well with my mother-in-law." Qiu Mei lowered her head and left in a hurry.

Although I was unhappy, I didn't want to go against my mother-in-law.

"Which good family always asks about the couple's affairs? She has the nerve to ask, but I am too embarrassed to say anything." Mrs. Zhang from the village head had a face full of disdain.

She had sought medical treatment from Shen Yunwan, thinking she'd get a free consultation from a fellow villager. Instead, she charged her twenty cents. She was even told to go to the town's pharmacy to get the medicine according to a prescription. Her husband, however, thought she was being pretentious and refused to let her get the medicine.

So she wasted twenty cents and was beaten by her man.

His already unwell body was made even worse.

"If you don't want to see a doctor, you don't have to. But what's the matter? Just because of the stench coming from you, your man is drooling over you. What else can you say? You didn't even go to get medicine, but you spread rumors about others."

"You! What rumors did I make up? It was Shen Yunwan's mother-in-law and sister-in-law who said that she was restless in the Lin family even before the family split up!"

"You're restless? Everyone in the village knows that Yun Wan works harder in the fields than any man and eats less than a chicken. Now you're slandering her. This bad reputation has been established. She deserves to be thrown into a pig cage. You're trying to kill Yun Wan."

"Alright! Alright! I want to see what happens to you, a bunch of ungrateful people!"

"Meng Ruan, are you her dog? Why are you defending her so much?"

Mrs. Mao was no longer able to calm down at this moment, and she pulled the other person's hair hard.

"Ah! How dare you hit me!"

"I'm going to beat you, you stinky bitch who can't even spit out ivory from your dog's mouth."

The two fought evenly, and finally the bystanders pulled them apart for fear of trouble.

They only dared to talk about it behind Shen Yunwan's back, not confront her openly. Besides, it was her mother-in-law and her younger siblings who spread the rumors, so if anyone was to blame, it was her family.

Mrs. Mao stuffed the clothes into the wooden barrel. She didn't want to wash the clothes anymore. She was afraid that she would be angry to death if she stayed there any longer!

"Sister-in-law, your clothes are wet. Go back and change them so you don't get sick." Shen Yunwan's voice was indifferent, as if she didn't care at all.

"Yun Wan, I'm so angry. You said you treated them, but not only are they not grateful, they're also slandering you behind your back. How does this benefit them?!"

"And your mother-in-law and your sister-in-law, are they crazy?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I will take care of it."

Shen Yunwan comforted Mrs. Mao, and the heat on her face dissipated a little.

He went home carrying the wooden bucket.

When I was fighting with Mrs. Zhang just now, my whole body was wet, so I had to go back and change my clothes.

Shen Yunwan slowly exhaled.

This kind of thing makes things worse the more you explain it.

"Yun Wan, I'm going to look for my mother and my sister-in-law." Although Lin Chengfeng did not leave the yard, he heard most of what Mrs. Mao said.

"You don't doubt me?"

"What do I suspect you of?" Lin Chengfeng was a little confused.

Shen Yunwan smiled slightly. The depression she felt just now had dissipated.

Just as she was about to stop them, the voices of several children came from outside the yard.

"Did you have a fight?"

The four little ones all had bruises on their faces and looked like they were beaten badly.

"Tell me, why did you fight with others?" Shen Yunwan frowned.

"We...we..." Lin Qiuhua stopped talking.

"Tell the truth." Shen Yunwan carefully examined their injuries, which were only superficial.

"Mother, mother, wow wow wow..." Lin Xiangxi burst into tears.

"Mom, we beat Zhuzi and the others because they said bad things about you. But they were more in number, so we couldn't win..." Chunhua blurted out everything when she saw that her mother was not angry.

"The pillar of the Zhang family at the village entrance?"

"It's him! His mother is a bad girl too." Lin Xiangbei nodded heavily, hating himself for being too young and being beaten by that fat pig.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunwan was furious.

One by one, wait for her!

"Cheng Feng, I can ignore what they say about me, but I can't stand them bullying my children.

I won't let your mother and your sister-in-law off lightly either."

What's with winning people over with virtue, what's with repaying grievances with virtue, all that? To hell with her.

Lin Chengfeng didn't say anything. He walked forward, held the woman's hand, and felt her anger.

"I'm going to find the village head. When all the villagers are here, I'll confront them one by one and make them apologize to you!"

A family of six left the yard.

"Yunwan, wait for me." Mrs. Mao pulled Brother Mao and caught up.

"You're going to seek justice, right? I'll testify for you and rip the mouths of those stinking women apart."

Brother Mao glanced at Lin Chengfeng with some embarrassment. His wife used to be a delicate young lady, but now she was in good health and no longer delicate.

He held Meng Ruan's hand tightly. Compared to her previous sickly appearance, he preferred her lively and energetic wife now.

As long as it wasn't murder or arson, he would cover for her.

Lin Chengfeng looked at him gratefully and also held his wife's hand.

He had intended to seek justice.

Even if Shen Yunwan told him not to pay attention, as her husband, he couldn't just stand by and watch others throw dirty water at her.

Not long after, they arrived at the village head's house, and a group of villagers gathered along the way.

Qiu Mei saw Shen Yunwan coming aggressively outside the yard.

She shrank back behind Lin Chengyan. Was he here to settle a score with her? She didn't say anything, just agreed with him a few times at most.

"Yun Wan, what are you doing?" The village head looked at the large group of people, somewhat puzzled.

In the past few days, people from the village have been going to Yun Wan for medical treatment one after another, but the feedback has been mixed.

He had also heard some rumors, but he hadn't found the source yet.

"Leader, the village women framed me. I wanted to let it go, but my child was beaten all over because of it."

The four little ones stood in front, all covered in bruises.

"If the person who ruined my reputation isn't found, I'll report him to the police! I won't allow anyone to touch my child!"

When they heard the call to the police, the villagers behind him unconsciously took a few steps back.

Aunt Zhang, who came from behind, had a very ugly look on her face.

Just a few bad words, and she even escalated it to reporting to the police. Shen Yunwan is really a troublemaker.

But then she thought, she wasn't the culprit, so if she had the guts, she could just sue her mother-in-law and her brother's wife. And the headman's eldest daughter-in-law, a pregnant woman, what could he do to her?

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang's face returned to normal.
