The phrase "set the house on fire" was a line from a previous country drama. At that time, he played a relatively crazy man who would fight with others at every turn. His catchphrase was "set your house on fire."

That drama has become quite popular recently. He said that line specifically to surprise the viewers when it aired.

But his words made Erzhu's family angry. Erzhu's brother, his brother, and his father all ran out with hoes and quarreled with Cheng Yeran.

The scene was chaotic, as if a bloody battle was about to take place. Many villagers came to watch. Shen Yuntang was very frightened, but he heard many onlookers praise Cheng Yeran, saying that he was really a man, better than before. That coward looks much better.

Their village is indeed like this. It is not a place of reason. Anyone who is ruthless will be looked down upon.

Shen Yuntang still remembered that in his previous life, there were many people who spread rumors about him and who he had slept with before getting married. Xia Xiaowu heard this and he was almost beaten to death by Xia Xiaowu.

Many girls and boys in their village have been told such scandalous rumors. The men in the family stand on her side and fight with others. No one will dare to speak out in the future. If they just refute and prove themselves, it will only make people angry. Rumors spread bigger and bigger. If the men in the family believe those rumors, the person who is rumored will only die.

Shen Yuntang had seen two girls from the village hang themselves before. It is not an exaggeration in this era that Tumo Xingzi can drown people.

Before he got married, there were rumors that he had already fallen in love with a lazy man. They fell into the water together just because he deliberately seduced him. He thought he would be like this for the rest of his life and couldn't hold his head up. He never thought that Cheng Yeran would replace him. He comes forward.

He couldn't let Cheng Yeran be beaten to death because of him. In desperation, he ran home and called his father and brothers.

The brothers were obviously very cowardly and scared. When the father saw the appearance of these children, he couldn't help scolding them, "How cowardly can a second pillar scare you to death? You are worse than a lazy man. I can bear with my fear." , don't lose your momentum."

When the four brothers heard this, they were very ashamed. Although they were scared, they still went with their father with hoes and shovels. They stood behind Cheng Yeran to count, praying in their hearts that there would be no real fight.

Cheng Yeran also has many relatives in the village. They are all relatives of the same family. Naturally, standing behind Cheng Yeran, even the village chief came over.

In the past, relatives in the village thought that Cheng Yeran was too useless and were unwilling to interact with him. But today, seeing how he stood up for his family, they felt that he had finally grown up and become a man.

Er Zhu looks like a hemp pole and has a very wretched appearance. His family is relatively poor in the village and not many people look down on him. Naturally, no one stands by his family.

Er Zhu had always wanted to marry Shen Yuntang, but he knew he wasn't worthy without even asking, so he kept talking behind his back.

Anyway, Shen Yuntang's brother can't do anything to him. Although the Shen family members are many, they are all honest. Not to mention the lazy Cheng Yeran, who is becoming more and more courageous.

When Cheng Yeran came to see him, he had no choice but to quarrel with the other party. Now that he saw that there were too many people behind Cheng Yeran, several times more than their family, he immediately gave up and wanted to let go and hide back home. He couldn't put his face down, "I just made a few jokes, so what are you serious about? We are all from the same village, we don't look up when we look down, do you have to make everyone look bad?"

"You also know that we are all from the same village? You are destroying the unity of the village. You are a troublemaker." Cheng Yeran thought to himself that this NPC's acting skills are too good, and it can make people angry to death.

The village chief came over and asked them to stop. He was the village chief after all, and he couldn't be too biased towards Cheng Yeran. He gave Cheng Yeran and Erzhu a scolding in front of everyone, and told them: "You are not allowed to do anything in the future." If you gossip behind your back, you are not allowed to cause trouble or fight. Next time if something like this happens again, you will be severely punished according to the village rules."

The village chief asked everyone to disperse, "Don't watch the fun, do whatever you need to do."

Erzhu pretended to let go reluctantly, but in fact he was scared to death in his heart. In the future, let alone spreading rumors, he would not dare to speak casually.

Cheng Yeran also loosened his collar, pointed at his eyes and pointed at him: "I'm looking at you. Next time there are rumors, even if my cousin punishes me, I will never let you go."

The village chief patted him: "Okay, we are all from the same village, so we have to be merciful and merciful."

"Hey, my cousin is right." Cheng Yeran said one sentence about "uncle" on the left and "uncle on the right". His performance was close to the village cliché, expressing a way to let the villagers know his relationship with the village chief, and don't treat him like that in the future. You're welcome, and don't bully Shen Yuntang's effect.

The cousin saw what was happening from behind the crowd and clenched his fists. How could Cheng Yeran do this for Shen Yuntang? And the relatives of the Cheng family, why are they standing behind him to help?

He remembered that after Cheng Yeran died in his last life, these relatives came to snatch the house and land from him and drove him out of the house.

If these people hadn't driven him away, how could he have remarried so quickly because he had no place to live? Without these hateful Cheng family relatives, he would have waited another year or two before his cousin died in childbirth and he would have been able to marry Xia Xia. It's Xiao Wu.

There were also his uncle and four cousins. In his previous life, when he was being robbed of his family property by the Cheng family, they were not so stubborn as to stand behind him. They even advised him to forget it and took him back home.

Why did all of them stand behind Shen Yuntang when he arrived? Why treat them so differently? How could he feel sorry for these people, allowing them to look down on him like this?

In the future, when he becomes the wife of an official, none of these people will be able to escape, and he will come back with revenge.

Chapter 10

After everyone had dispersed, Shen Yuntang nervously came over to look at Cheng Yeran, "Your clothes are wrinkled, why are you so impulsive? What if they beat you up? I was scared to death when I saw them holding hoes just now. Me."

Cheng Yeran patted the wrinkled collar and joked: "It would be better if you beat him. I'll knock them down in front of his house and blackmail them to death."

After everyone had dispersed, Shen Yuntang's father walked over and looked at the baskets behind the two people. Listening to the crow of chickens from time to time, "Are you going to the market?"

"This is our dad." Cheng Yeran walked over enthusiastically, took his hand and shook it firmly, "We came back from the market and were about to bring something back to see you, but something happened."

There was no rule about shaking hands here. Father Shen was stunned by his handshake and quickly shook his hand off, "We'll talk about it when we get home."

Although his tone was stiff, he was very satisfied with Cheng Yeran's performance today.

Before, he had been worried that Shen Yuntang would have a hard life after marrying a lazy man, but the rumors he heard these days were that the lazy man cleaned up the house, took the initiative to wash the husband's clothes, and protected the husband when quarreling with others.

Cheng Yeran did all kinds of things to make him feel at ease to leave his brother to him.

When they arrived at Shen's house, the neighbors came to watch what Cheng Yeran brought back as a home gift.

I heard that Cheng Yeran didn't spend a penny when they got married and didn't even bother to leave the house. But after something like that happened, Shen Yuntang had to endure any grievances he encountered.

This time, no one expected Cheng Yeran to come. They also carried two backpacks, not knowing what was in them.

The neighbors all craned their necks to look into the yard. They thought he was so poor that he wouldn't be able to bring anything with him. It was probably the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots he dug up in the mountains a few days ago, so he put together two baskets and brought them over.

My mother also suspected that what she brought was some wild vegetables. Fortunately, she brought a piece of bacon to Shen Yuntang that day, at least it wasn't too ugly.

But when they took off the cloth from the backpack, everyone was shocked.

They actually brought two chickens, a piece of pork belly, a bag of sugar, and a bag of snacks.

This gift is quite good. This lazy man really loves the Shen family brother, otherwise he would not bring so many gifts back.

My father and mother were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. My father said he would have two drinks with him later. My mother carried the chicken into the kitchen and said she would stew the chicken for lunch.

The four brothers were all not good at talking. My father went in to look for wine and my mother went to cook. They stood aside awkwardly.

The cousin's eyes were red with jealousy, but he was about to marry Xia Xiaowu. When he and Xia Xiaowu returned home, they would definitely be even more prosperous than his cousin, and his cousin would be fiercely jealous of him. Bundle.

"You guys should eat the snacks." Mother poured some water over and asked Shen Yunfeng and his four brothers to accompany them. It was a rare occasion for them to come back, and the next time they came back would be during the New Year.

After her mother finished speaking, she returned to the kitchen. Shen Yuntang hurried over and said he wanted to help her mother cook. Cheng Yeran also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Shen Yuntang.

"I told my mother not to follow me wherever I go." Shen Yuntang asked him to sit down and drink water, and he came out after a while.

After entering the kitchen house, his mother pulled him and asked in a low voice: "How did he treat you? He looked quite irritable, didn't he hit you?"

When Shen Yuntang heard this, he thought that his mother in his previous life had said similar things, except that what she said was that Xia Xiaowu would definitely not hit him if he looked so polite.

He was a little angry and eager to prove to Cheng Yeran: "He is a very good person. He praises me fiercely even if I just cook. He listens to me in everything and even stands up for me..."

Seeing that he was anxious to defend Cheng Yeran, his mother couldn't help but laugh at him: "When our Xiaotang grows up, he has learned to protect his husband."
