Chapter 13: Crisis
13
The Liu clan trembled and arrived at the small square outside the ancestral hall, which is where everyone usually gathers, but today there is a gloomy wind.
There were four chairs in the middle, and the patriarch and three old men sat on the chairs. The others were standing, and Diao was standing at the front of everyone, with an evil spirit all over his body, and he didn't know who offended him.
Sisi felt that Liu Shi was trembling holding her body. She hurriedly put her arms around Liu's neck and kissed Liu's face twice to comfort her.
"Mother, don't be afraid, if you don't know how to speak, just shed tears, don't speak, the rest is me."
"Liu, are you here?" Tian Shixun, the eldest of the clan elders, twisted his beard and opened his mouth, "Your mother-in-law accused you of disobedience and unfilial piety, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Oh, third master, but I can't live." Diao sat down on the ground and howled when he patted the ground, "Since this broom star dares to push me on the shit, and let the cow kick me and throw the mouse into my neck, patriarch, clan elders, you have to call the shots for me." ”
The Liu family was so frightened that she wanted to kneel, she knew that the patriarch couldn't be offended, and the slightest trick was used to offend the patriarch, looking at the blood on his face, the Diao family was ruthless enough, and the patriarch could spare us after suffering such a big loss, but it was too late to say anything at this time.
"The child does not admit disobedience." Sisi patted Liu's shoulder and made her stiffer, "Grandpa Patriarch, hello grandpa of the clan, we have sold it to Yufu as a house slave, and we have no relationship with the Tian family, and it is a death deed, and the case is prepared in the pavilion, so we don't recognize this matter." ”
The patriarch's eyes widened, "Whether you sell it or not, it's not okay to beat the old people in this village." ”
Huhu, this is a heart to find fault, the slightest crack opened the mouth and smiled, it seems that the two lessons are learned by this guy at all, so let's see.
"Since it's suing us, can anyone testify?"
"Yes, me." The flower goddess walked out of the crowd with a smile, "Patriarch, clan elders, I really saw it when the Liu clan beat her mother-in-law that day." ”
"Aunt Hua, there are gods three feet above the ground, you can't talk about it."
Liu's eyes were red, and tears fell like beads with broken threads. This flower goddess is so hateful, how can she be so upside down black and white, she wasn't in the middle of the day at all, right?
"It's just that the gods don't see justice, so my wife has to come out and say a fair word."
Si Si grinned and giggled.
"Also, the doll offers a reward of money, is there anyone willing to call the shots for Sisi and my mother?"
My god grandmother, a hanging of money is a tael of snowflake silver, how many people have to be deceived to get it together, the flower woman wanted to slap her mouth at that time, she really shouldn't have taken Diao's broken pig's head.
"Patriarch, clan elder, I can call the shots for Liu's mother and daughter, they didn't beat Diao's, Diao's was going to beat someone by themselves, and the mouse fell from a tree, it just so happened that Liu's mother and daughter are good people."
Diao jumped up from the ground, crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed to the nose of the flower goddess with the other, "Flower woman, where are you?" You took a whole pig's head from me, why do you eat inside and out? ”
Hua Pozi's neck stiffened, "I'm speaking for the gods, there are gods three feet above the ground, you old demon woman who turns black and white upside down, sooner or later you will be retributed." ”
Smack, a small slap in the face to get everyone's attention. It's enough to get here, Sisi doesn't want to listen to two old guys fighting, she's busy.
"Grandpa the patriarch, grandpa the old lady, the matter is already very clear, the Diao family bribed the flower goddess to frame a good person, and asked the patriarch and the patriarch to call the shots for us."
The patriarch glanced at the flower goddess and the Diao clan hatefully, and said in his heart how could these two people not become a climate, didn't they all tell them in advance.
"This." The patriarch sank his face, "You have been sold as slaves, and you are considered outsiders, but the grievances between you, I, the patriarch of the Tian family, can't control it." ”
Meow a mith, biting her lip, good, you wait.
"Still." Tian Shiqi, one of the clan elders, gritted his teeth and stood up, "Patriarch, Brother Shixun, Brother Shihe, isn't it time for us to rectify the atmosphere in Fenhewan?" Such a blatant framing of good people, if it spreads, will my reputation of Fenhewan be gone? ”
"This." The patriarch blinked his triangular eyes, "If you should take care of it, then punish them for sweeping the streets for three days." ”
The three clan elders all nodded, this disposition is appropriate, they are only a few miles away from Baiyun Academy, and they also have the pride of being neighbors to the scholars, this good reputation can't be ruined by themselves.
"Still." Tian Shixun received the glance handed over by the patriarch Tian Qingyun, and the old god spoke, "We also have a lot of scholars in Fenhewan, and they are also very backbone, and they have never been out of slavery.
The ancestors made a rule that the daughters of the Tian family were not allowed to be concubines, and the people of the Tian family could not be sold into slavery.
This mother and daughter not only sold themselves into slavery, but also signed a death contract, which is really humiliating. ”
"Yes, get this shameless mother and daughter out."
"We can't let them discredit our ancestors."
"Get out of Fenhe Bay, never come back."
Hey, feelings are the big move, Sisi narrowed her eyes, she had to keep these dozen hateful guys in mind and clean them up slowly.
"Hmph."
Diao's sneered at the slightest hint of suspicion, the little sparrow wants to fight against his old thief, so let's dream.
"Wow." Sisi cried, "It's not our fault that we're selling ourselves." He took out a note from his purse, "This is my grandmother's name and drawing, but there is no name of me and my mother, nor our handprint." Chong Diao's winked, "It's my grandmother Diao's who ruined the reputation of Fenhewan, and it's not us, and we are helpless."
I think the forty taels should be confiscated, they smeared such a big black on our Fenhe Bay, and the fine for sweeping the street is really light. ”
The direction of the wind changed in an instant, it was forty taels, in front of these profit-hungry people, justice and silver are a fart.
"Yes, it was the Diao family who ruined the reputation of Fenhewan."
"Shameless Diao, hurry up and hand over the silver."
"Sisi mother and daughter are not at fault, patriarch, clan elder, I beg you to let the Diao family hand over the silver."
At this time, Sisi hurriedly patted the Liu family, who was still in the fog, "Mother, let's go home, there's nothing wrong with us." ”
How could this be, Diao's face turned green suddenly, and he suddenly jumped on his waist, "You all ate, what's wrong?" "Arrogant glare," who dares to ask for the old lady's silver, watch the old lady scratch him to death." ”
In front of Yinzi, the Diao family also didn't recognize his six relatives, and he instantly pinched a group of people.
The mother and son returned home, and the lotus flower had already coaxed the sugar candy.
"Auntie, the child has coaxed you, I will go home, if she cries in the future, you will send it to me, I have a lot of milk, and my baby can't eat it."
Liu's thousand thanks and wanted to get some sugar for the lotus, but they ran away with a smile and didn't ask for it.
The gap between being a human being is so big, Sisi has to sigh in her heart, her heart is warm by the lotus, and at this time, there is a rumble in her head.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
