Chapter 288: Sue Them
"Yes, I set up a female household in the year of my husband's death," and female households without men in the family enjoyed the right to be exempted from forced labor, although the county magistrate still collected his own taxes in various names.
"And this mill is in your name?" Xue Langjing asked again.
Lee replied, "Yes." ”
"I heard that you also gave them all the title deeds of your house?"
"Give, give", Li was a little distressed.
"Then do you have to go to the yamen to go through the transfer procedures?"
"No", the main reason is that the patriarch still wants her to pass on to the step-heir, and let the mill and the field be left to the so-called heir in the future.
Getting the answer she wanted, Xue Langjing turned her head to look at the patriarch, "Did you hear that, this mill is in the name of the shopkeeper Li, and that is her private property, you are the head of a clan, can't you even tell what is private property and what is family property?"
It used to be a mouthful of one family, so it is obvious that the difference between the two is clear! Knowing that this is her private property, you still bring people to rob it, it is simply a violation of the law, and the crime is added to the first degree, even if I don't kill you, I can kidnap you and go to the official! ”
As she spoke, she asked Li again, "Shopkeeper Li, can you charge them with the above crimes?" As long as we sue them, they will go to jail, and how can they think of your mill in the future!
Otherwise, when I am gone, they will come back and continue to rob your mills and drive you out, and you will end up in the streets, and then you will have no place to talk about reasoning, and it is impossible to have the good fortune of meeting a helper like me every time, right? ”
At the beginning, when I heard that I was going to sue these clan elders, Li naturally didn't dare as a widow, if I really did this, I was afraid that I would become a sinner in the clan!
But if he doesn't tell him, his family will have to be kicked out at that time, and he will inevitably have nothing, so he can only live in a fixed place and go out on the streets.
Miss Tang is right, fortunately she is there today, and she can relieve herself and others, but she will not stay for long, so what will she do in the future?
Let her accuse the clan elder, she doesn't dare! Li hesitated a little.
And Xue Langjing was also waiting for her answer.
Originally, she didn't really want to care about other people's affairs, although such a clan elder disgusted her, but there are so many injustices in the world, does she want to take care of one thing? She didn't have such good intentions.
But those people wanted to drive people out and take over the mill!
This is excessive, and it really provoked her, and she finally found a job, so she worked for half a day.
If the employer is evicted, won't his work be in vain?
Moreover, even if they are afraid of their own strength and give themselves money, they can't overcharge, they can only do as much as they want, and then they have to continue to look for work.
Not to mention the trouble, it is still difficult to find, and it is time-consuming, so it is not cost-effective, so take care of it, anyway, you have nothing to lose, and by the way, you can eliminate harm for the people.
However, she can't care about everyone, like this Li, if she talks about this, the other party is still hesitant, this dare not dare, let herself be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, then she will not waste time, just pay her wages and leave, and save yourself from watching these people get bored.
It's just that before the Li family could make up her mind, Yang Xing, who was standing next to her, hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded her, "Mother, don't be soft-hearted, if you don't sue them, our family will have no way to live!"
This Shi family can treat us so ruthlessly, not to mention plotting to seize our property, and driving us out, completely ignoring our life and death, then they are unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust.
If you really live on the streets, in this world now, how can the son-in-law alone afford to raise our family, even if you don't think about us, you have to think about the mother and the child in her belly, right? ”
Hearing what his son-in-law said, Li looked at his panicked daughter, and then at her slightly bulging belly, and gritted his teeth, "Sue, don't want this old face of my mother, let's sue them down and keep this mill, who let them be so cruel to us, this is our lifeline!" ”
Sure that his mother-in-law was going to sue, Yang Xing immediately instructed his younger brother, "Linzi, go and block the door, my brother will go to find a rope, tie them all up, and sue later." ”
"Okay, brother, wait, my brother won't let them run away", Yang Lin hurriedly ran to close the door.
And Yang Xing himself was also very neat to find the rope.
Looking at their posture, it is obvious that they are real.
Thinking that he was going to be tied up to see the official, he might have to be tied up all the way over, being pointed at by others, and even if he was not accused, this face and lining would be gone!
The people who came with great momentum were completely panicked and scared in an instant, and they were lying there begging for mercy.
The woman threatened them with weapons, so that they did not even have the courage to escape, after all, as she said, in such a situation, she would not have broken the law even if she killed herself, and how dare she provoke her.
Especially the patriarch, although he felt that this woman must be bluffing herself, and he also had the ability to make a widow fail, but if he really wanted to be tied up and swaggered through the market, then how could he have this face to be the patriarch in the future!
After thinking about it like this, the patriarch immediately threatened the Li family, "Okay, you Li family, you dare to sue the clansmen, even the clan elders and patriarchs, and unite with outsiders to make our Shi family's reputation bad."
Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Shi family, and worthy of your deceased husband? If you let him know about your behavior, see if he is willing to ask you in the future, my Shi family will not let you enter my Shi family's ancestral tomb..."
"I, I..."
The patriarch's words made the Li family hesitate again.
And Yang Xing, who was looking for the rope, although his eyes were searching, he kept pricking up his ears to listen to the sounds outside, and as soon as he heard that the patriarch was threatening his mother-in-law, he immediately ran out.
"Mother, is it the false afterlife that is important, or is this life important? If you don't sue, then we have no way to live in the future, there are not many other things in this world now, that is, there are many people, and even if you go to a rich family to be a slave or a maid, no one will want us.
If we don't have any life-saving property around us, we really only have to starve to death. Mother, look at our two brothers, two big men, if it weren't for my mother's original relief, they would have starved to death, let alone you two women.
And the child in the mother's belly, we can't even feed ourselves, and we can still feed it then? This is the real heir of the father-in-law!
We have no way to live, who will hold the tiles for my mother and break the pot for my mother, and who will serve the incense for my father and mother? And we were not only displaced during our lifetime, but also our family became lonely ghosts and ghosts after our deaths, and we will never be at peace! I'm even more sorry for my father-in-law under the Nine Springs..."
