Mrs. Li listened to him sincerely, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing.

Gong Wei asked Mrs. Li again: "Mrs. Li, are you willing to go back to Sun's house with your son-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Li choked up and replied: "The old woman is in her last years, and she is sick and weak, so she doesn't want to drag down her daughter and son-in-law. It's just that I really miss my daughter, and if I can have the opportunity to see my daughter again in this life, the old woman will be blind when she dies - I am willing to go back with my son-in-law. ”

She glanced at Li Zhang and said, "It's just that the old woman is a member of the Li family, but she lives in the Sun family, so she can't help but be unjustifiable." I'm afraid that someone will make a living like this in the future, and then talk about his daughter and son-in-law. Some words are better to be clear now, please let the lord be here as a witness. ”

Gong Wei nodded and said, "Reasonable, that's the case, you say." ”

Mrs. Li bowed solemnly and said ashamedly: "I was originally the daughter of everyone in Jinling City, it was the early years of Hongwu, I was sixteen years old, and I was pampered at home and did not know the sinister world. It's just that on the first night of that year, I went to see the lights with my brothers and met Li Zhang, a lifter who went to Beijing to take the exam, and I fell in love with him at first sight. Knowing that my father and brother would not marry me to him, who had no family, he ran away alone and eloped with him. ”

As soon as Han Oak saw this grandmother, she felt that although she was poor and sick, she was not sad or resentful, and her bearing was extraordinary. I thought in my heart: my grandmother was like a family, but I didn't know that she had eloped. Han Li looked at his grandfather's old face like a red eggplant, and knew that there must be a reason here, so he secretly pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Mrs. Li's words.

When Mrs. Li said this, she glanced at Li Zhang, as if she remembered the sweetness at that time, and her face couldn't help but pass a trace of redness, and then she was covered by bitterness: "Since I followed him, I thought it was someone from his family. ”

She sighed and said to Li Zhang: "Since I entered the door of your house, I have done my duty as a housewife for you every day, and I have not slackened for a day. Although the days are harder, I only think about the love of husband and wife, and this life is quiet, and this life is enough. Over the years, although I have not given you children, I have raised children for you. It's a lifetime of hard work. ”

"You are afraid that people will know that I eloped, and you have ruined your face as a teacher, and you never allowed me to contact my mother's family. Thinking of how anxious and sad my mother must have been after I said goodbye without saying goodbye, my heart felt like a knife. For the sake of your son-in-law, you cut off contact with your daughter and cut off our mother-daughter relationship. Let my daughter suffer the same pain of motherhood as me. How can I bear this heart! ”

"I've worked all my life for your family, and what have you done to me? After I got sick, you just invited a Fang Langzhong, how could you have grabbed a penny of medicine for me! Leave me to fend for myself in bed. If the family has no money to spare, that's it. You obviously have tens of thousands of taels of silver in your hand to sell your daughter! It really chills me! Since then, I have understood that you have just treated me as an old mother who doesn't want money in your life. She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the old mothers are more decent than me." ”

"My grandson has invited a doctor to come and you won't let you in, and I will understand your thoughts: you just think that I am useless and can only waste your family's rice and grain. If I had died earlier, it would have been time to make room for your concubine. In that case, I have fulfilled you. I eloped with you, and I don't have a marriage certificate, but I don't have a divorce book. Today, I would like to invite you and your neighbors to testify: the old woman invited herself to go down to the church, and from now on, she and Li Zhang will be separated from each other in the west and east, and there will be no hindrance. ”

Li Zhang snorted his mouth a few times, but he didn't mean to keep it, but said: "It's good if you go to your daughter's house to raise you, your son-in-law's family is rich, and you must be short of food." You're blessed to go. It's just that you're leaving now, but you can't take anything from home with you. ”

Mrs. Li was even more cold, brushed the clothes on her body and sneered: "Since I came to your house, why have you added a hairpin to me!" I came out of the house in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything with me. In order to have a place to live, I used a few hairpin rings I brought with me to buy the small courtyard where I lived. Since my daughter got married, she has been secretly helping me, and these pieces of jewelry, aren't they all given to me? Now it has been taken away by your daughter-in-law, and the rest is on your concubine. The cloth I am wearing today was also made by my daughter a few years ago. Today's departure from the Li family is not considered to be wearing a trace of wiring from your Li family. Today, we will say goodbye, and I hope there will be no more time to see each other. After I die, I will not enter your ancestral grave, but let my grandson send me back to Jinling and bury me next to my mother's grave. ”

Mrs. Li bowed down to Gong Wei and said, "My lord, the old woman is trapped in this life, and she is inevitably self-inflicted. But please take pity on the old woman's sick and disabled body, I really don't want to be entangled with the Li family anymore. Please grant the old woman's invitation. ”

Gong Wei nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind to go, this official will allow you to invite." Sentenced you to reconcile with Yangzhou County's teachings Li Zhang. From then on, each has its own way, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Mrs. Li went out of the house today, and did not want Li Zhang's support silver; The Li family is not allowed to go to Sun's house again in the future to make nuisances and demands. ”

When others heard this, Han Li heard the sentence "The Li family is not allowed to go to the Sun family to disturb again", and he was so happy in his heart, he completely got rid of the Li family, and it was not in vain that he made such a big move.

Who knew that Gong Wei slapped the shocked wood, and looked at Li Zhang's face coldly: "Li Zhang! As a county school teacher, you should abide by the teachings of the saints and set an example for others. But I don't want you to be full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but you are so wolf-hearted behind your back! Do such a pampering concubine and abuse his wife! What a complete hypocrite! What you have done, how can you be a teacher again! Today the government has removed you from the post of teacher, lest you destroy the morals and mislead the children! This case is over, retire! ”

The onlookers shouted loudly and continuously, and Han Oak and others hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Lord Shengming!" ”

Han Oak couldn't help it, the corners of his mouth were almost to the tips of his ears, and he was busy hiding his schadenfreude when he knelt down and kowtowed.

At that moment, he happily hugged Mrs. Li down to go home, and everyone didn't look at the depressed Li Zhang. Only Rui Niang, who was covered in the smell of rancid water, shrank behind him and sobbed.

Since Li Zhang came to the door to make a noise, because Han Oak had ordered it, the family members hid it from Li's family. After Mrs. Li went to the church, Han Li saw that the matter had been completed, so he asked Laiwang, who was following outside the hall, to go home and tell Sù Li, asking her to prepare to house Mrs. Li's house utensils.

Li Shi, who was originally sick in bed, heard the news and was so happy that he couldn't cry. After a while, Fang woke up under the reminder of Mama Fan and Dipping Clothes. The illness also went to Jiufen, and he energetically instructed the subordinates of Manfu to be busy. Thanks to the strength of the people, the things in the treasury are ready-made. They all picked up the best packs, but in a moment or three, they were all ready. Li Shi asked Jiang Sha and Cheng Luo to hurry to comb their makeup, and then helped Fan Mama, while waiting at the gate, while taking turns to ask people to inquire about the news from the hall.
