Chapter 13: Refusing to back down

Zheng Gangling put the sign back into the holder and said to Liu Fugui: "Let's write it down for the time being, and I'll count it with you later!" ”

Liu Fugui was so frightened that he sat on the ground, regretting it very much, why did he come to sue for this, as long as he asked Du Shi to return the dowry to himself, this family affair was decided, as long as he didn't lose anything, could it be that he still wanted to make something?

The servant brought another person, this person is five big and three thick, and his appearance is also very rough, especially the two horizontal flesh on his cheeks, which gives people a vicious feeling of "stay away from him".

This person was dressed in black, with a black cloth on his head, and black cloth shoes on his feet, and he entered the lobby with stumbling steps, and knelt down for Zheng Gangling, and said: "Jiao Erbao, a grass citizen, lives in the east of the city, and has a grievance to make the county order the master, this is the state of the grass people!" ”

He was very simple, and his speech was relatively clever, and he raised his posture high, and the rest waited for the county order to ask him.

Zheng Gangling took it and took a look, then looked up at Du Shi, and saw that Du Shi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Jiao Erbao, while Jiao Erbao looked at Du Shi angrily, but this was in the lobby, and he didn't dare to be rude to Du Shi.

Zheng Gangling finished reading the form, and the thing written on it was very simple, that is, the Du family married Azhu Xu to Jiao Erbao, and the two families decided on a family affair, and Jiao Erbao also sent a dowry gift to the past, which was sixty-six times.

Although Jiao Erbao has money in his family and runs a casino, the expenses are also huge, and sixty-six is not a small number for him, and when he heard that Du Shi was going to repent of his marriage, he naturally refused, so he also came to sue Du Shi and wanted to ask the county magistrate to marry Ah Zhu to him!

Zheng Gangling put down the situation and said to Liu Fugui below: "This person's name is Jiao Erbao, and the one over there is Xu Duwen, they are all here to sue the Du family for repentance, and you are also here to sue the Du family, won't you also sue her for repentance?" ”

Liu Fugui is not so afraid, if everyone is here to sue the Du family, then he is just following the big slip, if the county magistrate wants to beat people, he can't just beat him alone, he has to beat everyone together!

Liu Fugui hurriedly said: "Back to the county commander, the grass people also came to sue the Du family to repent of their marriage, the grass people exchanged the marriage letter with her, and gave her a dowry of thirty times, how can she regret it and ask the county commander to be the master of the people!" ”

Zheng Gangling sighed, shook his head and said to Du Shi: "Du Shi, as the saying goes, a woman asks for a hundred families, but this is just a folk saying, but you really dare to marry your daughter to three families at the same time, what do you want to do, if you can't say that you are ugly today, this official will definitely not spare you!" With that, he slapped the startling wood again.

Du Shi thought about it, although it hurt, she could only say: "The women are willing to return the dowry gifts guaranteed by Liu Fugui and Jiao Er, and return them all, and they didn't say anything to compensate for repentance at the beginning, so the women don't need to compensate them!" ”

This is a matter of course, for her to regret and there will be no loss, then it is good to regret it, what's the big deal, she is not not repaying.

Moreover, Du Shi also felt that she was very wronged, she felt that her daughter was old, and the marriage could not always be delayed, Xu Duwen did not know whether she was alive or dead, so in order not to delay her daughter's marriage, she was close to Liu Fugui, not to deceive Liu Fugui.

And later, Liu Fugui went out on business and didn't come back for a long time, and she didn't know life and death, she just found Jiao Erbao again, Jiao Erbao is rich, her daughter is happy to marry in the past, she also didn't think about cheating Jiao Erbao, she didn't think about regretting her marriage.

But who knew that Xu Duwen was not dead, he found it, Liu Fugui was not dead, he was also found, Jiao Erbao was even more horizontal, after hearing that a daughter and three marriages were married, he immediately came to the door and asked Du Shi to give an explanation, so she discussed with her daughter, and before the result was discussed, they all came to the lobby to fight a lawsuit.

Then Du Shi wanted to send Liu Fugui and Jiao Erbao away, but the two of them were unwilling.

Jiao Erbao is in his forties, his family has money, it's not good for anything else, it's a beautiful woman, and he gave him a marriage letter and dowry, he is justified in this matter, if the reasonable thing is cowardly again, how to open a casino in the future, how to play arrogant in the future, even women's affairs are not fair, who else can a man obey him?

For Jiao Erbao, this matter must not be coaxed, he must not agree!

Liu Fugui originally planned to get the dowry back, and it would be successful without a loss, but it can be seen that Jiao Erbao didn't agree, so he thought: "If others don't agree, why should I agree?" Is that all you have? This matter is justified by himself, he has the marriage letter and dowry, why can he only admit bad luck as soon as Du regrets his marriage? ”

He had this idea, of course, he didn't agree, although his voice was not loud, but his attitude was resolute, he did not return the dowry, and only married Azhu.

Zheng Gangling felt very troubled, he looked at Xu Duwen, and said: "The Du family wants to repent of the marriage, and you don't agree, and the three of you don't agree, that's why there is this lawsuit, one daughter and three marriages, this thing sounds uncomfortable!" ”

The four people in the hall were silent, but silence was silence, and it was impossible for them to give in, all three men thought that they were reasonable, but Du Shi could only cry, if this case was to be solved as quickly as possible, only one person could come out and speak.

Zheng Gangling raised the startled wood, snapped on the ground again, and said: "Don't fight, the official called out Azhu, let her choose, whether to choose one of the three of you, or no one, it is up to her to say, the official is the master for her, if you dare to be verbose in the future, the official's board is not exactly for you!" ”

He turned around and said loudly to Ertang, "Ah Zhu, come out!" ”

He knew that Li Rizhi would definitely go to find Azhu, and Azhu would also come to take a peek, except for Ertang, she had nowhere else to hide.

Li Rizhi pushed Ah Zhu and said, "Sister Ah Zhu, my uncle is calling you, go out quickly, go and choose that Xu Duwen, won't everything be solved!" ”

Azhu was so ashamed that she was embarrassed, she never expected that her mother would not only marry one daughter and three times, but also get into court, her reputation would be ruined, and she would be able to make herself a person in the future!

She didn't dare to go to the front lobby herself, but Li Rizhi pulled and pulled, which brought her to the lobby, Azhu knelt down and whimpered and cried.

Zheng Gangling sighed and said: "Ah Zhu, you are on an errand in the county, although you meet with the official every day, but the official has never cared about you, I don't know that your marriage is so bumpy, now the official asks you, the three people kneeling below are all men who are married to you, the official allows you to choose by yourself, you choose, and the official will be decided!" ”

This can be regarded as taking care of Azhu, but Zheng Gangling has a bad premonition, it seems that things will not be solved so easily.

Li Rizhi hid aside and sighed, thinking: "Uncle is too old-fashioned, this kind of case, even if it is not tried in the second court, but when you ask who Azhu wants to choose, you have to ask in private, how can she be embarrassed to answer in this public!" Also, you have to shut up everyone in the hall and not interfere with her, I think that Du Shi wants to speak, and it is definitely not a good word! ”

Liu Fugui and Jiao Erbao heard that Azhu was to choose by himself, and they were both a little disappointed.

But now that they see Azhu himself, they don't want to back down, Azhu is indeed beautiful, it can be said that he is the best-looking woman they have ever seen, if they can marry home, it will be a great blessing.

But if Azhu is allowed to choose by himself, then Azhu doesn't recognize them, how can there be any reason to choose them, can they not be lost.

Xu Duwen also saw Azhu, and Azhu also saw him, although they had been separated for ten years, the two still recognized each other at a glance, Azhu burst into tears, and Xu Duwen's eyes were red, tears were swirling in his eyes, and they could fall at any time.

Du Shi saw it on the side, and was angry in her heart, Ah Zhu was twenty years old and hadn't married yet, she had blamed Xu Duwen for delaying her daughter, and she had cursed countless times over the years, but now Xu Duwen is here, but she is a poor bastard, which makes her even more disgusted, so she doesn't agree with her daughter marrying Xu Duwen anyway.

Du Shi suddenly said: "Good girl, if you choose Xu Duwen, then the mother will not live, hang herself and throw herself into the river, anyway, you can't stop it if you want to!" ”

Ah Zhu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her mother to say such a thing, she looked at Du Shi, her eyes were full of pleading, but Du Shi turned her face away and didn't look at Ah Zhu, anyway, she was so stubborn, she just didn't agree!

Li Rizhi watched from the side, and kept shaking his head, this hall is full of people who refuse to give in, this makes Azhu embarrassed, it is estimated that she has the idea of not wanting to live at this time, it is really embarrassing to the extreme, maybe it will make people laugh for a lifetime in the future!

Ah Zhu is indeed deeply embarrassed, other people's attitudes are just that, Du Shi's attitude is the most sad for her, she can't say that she wants to choose Xu Duwen now, even if Du Shi will not really commit suicide, but she doesn't care about Du Shi's life and death in public, it is absolutely impossible.

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "If only I could say it in private, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult!" He slipped up to Zheng Gangling and said secretly: "It's better to let them go to the second hall to discuss it by themselves, it's better than crying under the lobby!" ”

Zheng Gangling heard this, and was about to nod and say yes, when he suddenly heard Azhu crying in the hall: "No one in the slave family is chosen, the slave family is not alive, so he will die, hang himself and throw himself into the river, none of you can stop it!" ”

These words are almost exactly the same as Du's, they are really mothers, and even the words of threats are almost the same!

Zheng Gangling sank his face, slapped the shocked wood, and reprimanded: "You three big men, forcing two weak women to die or live, do you feel guilty in your heart?" Whoever of you wants to quit, say it now! ”

But Xu Duwen, Liu Fugui and Jiao Erbao all shook their heads, none of them refused to quit, why let them quit, why? If not, then why would they quit?

Zheng Gangling snorted and said, "Leave the hall for the time being, a few of you go to the second hall in the back, discuss it yourself, and after half an hour, the official will be promoted to the hall again and ask you about the results of your discussion!" ”

After that, he flicked his sleeves and left the big case, Li Rizhi hurriedly followed, he also looked back at Ah Zhu, and expressed deep sympathy for Ah Zhu encountering this kind of unfortunate thing, no one can stand it!
