Chapter 204: Complaint
Li Jun hurried back to Lijiazhuang to inform his parents and family, and retrieved the marriage certificate as evidence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info He also wrote the complaint himself, and when the yamen was opened, he immediately handed over the complaint accusing the Lin family of repenting of the marriage.
Seeing this, the counsellor immediately waited outside the lobby and asked the official to inform him that he was a female lawyer.
As soon as the county magistrate heard it, the defendant lawyer outside the lobby immediately announced it.
The divination lawyer entered the lobby, first saluted the adults in the hall, and then explained the Lin family's repentance of marriage. But he is not the head of the household, he only represents Lin Yujuan.
The county commander immediately went to Youjiazhuang and quickly brought Lin Guilu over. After Lin Guilu's servants took him away, Qi was so frightened that he cried at home, and scolded Lin Yujuan for nothing.
After the official brought Lin Guilu to him, the county magistrate continued to interrogate: "Li Jun sued your Lin family for repentance of marriage, can you admit it?" β
Lin Guilu kowtowed and said: "I admit it, but adults, the small people have hardships." Then he told the story of Qi disregarding his daughter's wishes and privately marrying her.
As soon as the county order heard it, the Lin family received the dowry and wrote the marriage letter, and the marriage was a certainty. But "marrying for the first time and remarrying from the body" is a common practice among everyone, and from this aspect, it cannot be said that Lin Yujuan is wrong.
The county magistrate asked again: "In that case, why didn't your family ask your own girl when you wrote the marriage letter?" β
Lin Guilu lowered his head and said: "The mother-in-law at home said that the girl agreed, but I saw that the man's conditions were really good and I thought that the girl agreed, so I didn't think about calling her to ask again." The result is what we are today. β
The county magistrate was a little annoyed with him when he heard it, a big man even let his mother-in-law deceive him, and he really had no way to govern the family. But how can the fools in the countryside expect them to be better?
The county magistrate asked the diviner Lin Yujuan again if she was determined not to marry. The lawyer also conveyed Lin Yujuan's opinion. said that she insisted on remarrying and was willing to return the Li family's dowry and make additional compensation, and her attitude was very sincere.
The county magistrate asked Li Jun again if he could accept the Lin family's plan. Li Jun resolutely refused to accept: "My lord, this marriage has been decided by parents since ancient times, since the Lin family has accepted the dowry and written the marriage letter, then the girl of the Lin family is a member of my Li family, and the student must fulfill the marriage contract of the Lin family." β
The county order persuaded: "This twisted melon is not sweet, why should you?" β
Li Jun saluted the county order dignifiedly: "My lord, the student insists." Please treat the Lin family to repent of the crime of marriage, and the girl of the Lin family should also be sentenced to my Li family to complete the marriage. β
Not to mention whether Lin Yujuan is willing to marry or not, but Lin Guilu's foolish board is indispensable. His wife and daughter can't control any of them, otherwise there wouldn't be today's disaster.
The county order asked the officials to drag Lin Guilu to the hall and beat thirty boards. Lin Yujuan had already changed into plain clothes and watched outside the lobby. The board hit Lin Guilu's ass with a "snap", and he howled in pain.
Lin Yujuan watched in her eyes and listened in her ears, and the cold hairs on her body stood up. When had she seen this kind of scene, Lin Guilu was also beaten because of her this time, which made her feel full of guilt. She would rather be beaten herself than be affected by others.
Thirty boards were knocked down, although it was not said that the skin was open and the flesh was blooming, but Lin Guilu was so painful that he couldn't get up. This is because Lin Yujuan quietly stuffed the silver, otherwise I am afraid that it will be even worse.
The Lin family repented of the marriage, and Lin Guilu had already been punished with a cane, but the Li family still wanted the Lin family to continue to fulfill the marriage contract, and the diviners still rejected the Li family with "remarrying and remarrying". Neither side is willing to give in, and Lin Guilu has already been sentenced, so one crime can't be punished multiple times. The situation in the court was deadlocked.
Seeing that the verdict was not good for a while, the county magistrate announced his withdrawal from the court, and the trial was retried three days later.
During the trial, there were other people waiting outside the lobby to hear the case, and there was also a group of people watching the excitement. As a result, this matter spread wildly in Yangzhou City. All of a sudden, everyone discussed: Is it the fate of the parents? Or do you want to remarry?
But most people still think that it is better to follow the orders of their parents.
Why?
This is not surprising, this is the same as divorce and remarriage, or widow remarriage is a minority after all. They support the idea of remarrying. But most of them got their parents engaged at a young age, and within two years they also became parents. Therefore, most people think that in this case, Lin Yujuan should follow the orders of her parents and marry into the Li family.
What's more, a daughter's family, seeing that her father was beaten with thirty boards because of her private repentance. If she still insists on going her own way, almost everyone in Yangzhou City will spit on her. It's simply disrespectful, unfilial.
After retreating, Lin Yujuan asked people to quickly take Lin Guilu to Anle Lane and invite Langzhong, who specializes in bone-setting, for him. Fortunately, it only hurt the flesh and skin, not the muscles and bones, so it was no big deal. After prescribing a lot of internal and external medicines, I quit.
Lin Yujuan calculated the wages of those strong men and dismissed them, leaving only Shi Dahai and his wife. The rest of the Lin family also received the news and rushed to Anle Lane.
When the Qi family arrived here, they saw that Lin Guilu was beaten and lay on the bed and "hummed", jumped up and scolded Lin Yujuan again.
Lin Guilu was tired of listening: "What is the noise?" If it weren't for you, I would still be beaten like this? β
Qi didn't expect Lin Guilu to still blame her: "Why is it my fault again, am I still doing wrong to worry about her marriage?" If she obediently got on the sedan chair, where did she come from so many things? β
Saying that, she asked Lin Yujuan again: "Your heart is so ruthless?" Seeing your dad being beaten like this, you still don't want to get married? Your conscience calls dogs to eat? β
Lin Yujuan was silent, unwilling to quarrel with her.
Lin Yukou was also very dissatisfied with Lin Yujuan's approach, he was the eldest son in the family, and later studied art outside for three years. The three outlines and five constants he accepted, respecting the teacher and respecting the way, and it is normal to have a difference between the top and the bottom. The girl's family had such a big idea, she could do whatever she wanted, and she couldn't even do such a thing as regretting her marriage, he really couldn't accept it.
Lin Yusuo was also uncomfortable in his heart, and emotionally he agreed with his sister's approach. But now that he saw Lin Guilu lying on the bed, he didn't know which side he was going to stand on.
Luo Hongmei pursed her lips and gloated a little. In the evening, she asked Lin Yukou: "What did my sister-in-law say?" Isn't she willing to marry yet? β
Lin Yukou said with a blushing face: "Well, she just won't let go." You're ruthlessβ"
Luo Hongmei was surprised: "Then what should I do?" If she still refuses to marry, won't her father-in-law still have to be punished? β
Lin Yukou said uncertainly: "I don't know, maybe?" I don't know if Dad can stand it. He's getting old, and I'm afraid if he beats me againβ"
