Chapter 142 Changing the System
Yang Xiaotao let out a sigh of relief, she was just exhausted! If it wasn't her girl standing in front of her, she would have already known what to say.
"Then what, if you are like this, everyone will misunderstand you and Mr. Pei even more."
Yang Xiaotao thought she was speaking euphemistically, but Ye Anlan couldn't control her volume after hearing what she said. She forgot that she was whispering to Yang Xiaotao, so she stared round and said "Huh?"
Yang Xiaotao hastily gestured again and then hissed vigorously, "Slow down! Quiet down!"
Ye Anlan rolled her eyes, but in the end she cooperated and lowered her volume, "It's been less than a day since I came back, and Huaiyu and I are actually gossiping in the village?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Because you are the only girl's family that Mr. Pei approached on his own initiative."
In fact, it’s not just a girl’s house. To be precise, their girl should be the only female creature that Pei Huaiyu actively approached_(:з」∠)_
Because there are quite a few aunts and aunts who "have no limit to their hearts and dare to think about any good things" (Ye Anlan's words), they always try their best to pester Pei Huaiyu personally or send people, exhausting all kinds of things, which in Pei Huaiyu's eyes is both clumsy and unreasonable. Superficial means, trying to sell his daughter or granddaughter to Pei Huaiyu, which made Pei Huaiyu very annoyed, and every time he walked around the women in the village.
Such a person who regards female creatures as scourges, if he hadn't taken a fancy to Ye Anlan, how could he have taken Ye Anlan away alone as soon as Ye Anlan returned?
(Yang Xiaotao: Hey, am I not human? (O_o)??)
"So, those who have run into a wall in front of Huaiyu, they have the guts to make up your girl and me?"
Ye Anlan's face was gloomy, and Yang Xiaotao was so frightened that she immediately regretted talking too much about it.
She was hesitating whether she should persuade Ye Anlan to stop being so angry, but she heard Ye Anlan say again: "It seems that there is still not much work, and their lives are not tired enough."
They had time to plot against Pei Huaiyu's second in command, and arranged for her, Ye Anlan, to be the top in command. These people really lived too comfortably.
She told Yang Xiaotao, "Those who go through the formal process, it's fine to ask a matchmaker to help them, but for those who stalk them yourself, you let Aunt Su take care of them. Remember, you must let them I'm too busy to gossip."
Yang Xiaotao: ⊙▽⊙ "Then if they get into trouble because of this"
"Then let Aunt Su put this matter on the table, and let everyone help to judge and see how they gossip about me behind my back and ruin my reputation. How should I deal with them?"
If she said that this group of people is full, and after a few days of good life, they don't know how much they weigh. If they want to marry Pei Huaiyu, apart from his good-looking talent, there is no doubt that he is the second in command of the village. It is also an important reason why these people are willing to marry him.
Otherwise, Zhou Mingzhe and Pei Huaixiu, who are equally talented, why are only a few of them expressing their intention to get married?
I don't want to make progress, I just want to be opportunistic and rely on nepotism to get to the top. People have seen through my shallow means, and have been squashed by others, so I have a lot of resentment in my heart. Arranging together, what is this if it is not itchy?
If this kind of trend is not eliminated in time, the village will definitely be made into a mess by these people in the future.
She looked at Yang Xiaotao, "You should pay attention to your love and I would like to get married. They can praise their children openly and secretly, and they can also let their children show their merits, but they can't force their heads without drinking water, harassing, calculating and even force others."
"Regardless of men and women, whoever intentionally plays tricks, wants to use rumors to force people to submit, or simply forces people to have a 'skin relationship' with him, or deliberately damages his reputation and targets other women who have contacts with him, whoever You bear the consequences of discrediting yourself."
"Forget it, I'd better let Huaiyu write all these into the law."
That's right, their village also has laws, although the terms have been greatly simplified according to actual needs, and it still borrows from the law formulated by the current imperial court at the beginning of the founding of the country, which has many drawbacks.
Ye Anlan felt that she had come up with a good idea, but Yang Xiaotao felt that her girl's idea was really dangerous, so she hesitated and asked, "Would this be a big deal?"
Ye Anlan sighed, "Xiao Tao, do you think that only serious crimes like murder, arson, robbery, theft, and rebellion need to be ruled by law?"
Yang Xiaotao scratched her head, "Actually, girl, in our village, even if we encountered murder, robbery, or theft, no one would sue the officials."
Whether the husband’s family killed the daughter-in-law, or there was a conflict between the villagers, who accidentally killed someone, everyone chose to be selfish.
As for being robbed, stolen, or someone who knows who has the ability to get the money back, everyone will entangle a group of relatives and friends to seek justice for themselves. Basically, they will swallow their anger and admit that they are unlucky.
No one would think of reporting these serious crimes to the authorities, being rumored, abused, entangled, pushed or dragged a few times, these small injuries like drizzle, let alone using the law and the government to protect themselves Justice is done_(:з」∠)_
"Well, I know." Ye Anlan sighed, at least she was someone who had read the ancient laws. She searched through the book Pei Huaiyu gave her, but she didn't find any laws about rumors, harassment and so on.
In addition, most of the ancient people had never read a book and had a natural fear of the yamen gate. Once a conflict occurred, everyone would either be selfish or count on the clan and village elders to "uphold justice."
In case clan and village elders acted unfairly, ordinary people would be considered lucky not to be persecuted to death, let alone justice for themselves. But even so, they would not think about going to the officials for help.
Of course, this is not their fault, they are just accustomed to the ancient traditional thinking and clan system that emphasized the order of ethics and blood status.
And what Ye Anlan wants to change is precisely this system.
Everyone is selfish, including herself. If everything was decided by her mouth, it would be difficult for her to be impartial.
Instead of entrusting "justice" to the human nature, human heart, and character of those in power, she thinks it is better to simply perfect the law as much as possible, and then use the law to restrict people's behavior.
She remembers that in modern society, spreading rumors, harassing, and attempting to harm others are all illegal acts, and there will be corresponding punishment measures. Although the ancient times are very different from the modern ones, let’s refer to it and formulate some rules suitable for this era. The rules should be fine, right?
