Chapter 4 There is no way to ask for help

She packed her things and was about to rest, when Mrs. Li walked in worriedly, "Shan'er, are you really going to the Ma family to ask for those jewelry?" ”

"Mother, those belong to our family. How can they divorce but not return the dowry? ”

"It's just ......" Mrs. Li looked at this daughter who suddenly became bold and strong, she was weak and kind, and she couldn't say any good ideas, so she had to admonish, "Alas, then you must not conflict with them, they are powerful and powerful, you are a girl, why don't you go with your mother to ......"

Li Jingshan hurriedly stopped, "Mother, don't worry, it's me who is a weak woman, and they don't dare to mess around for fear of losing their reputation." ”

Just kidding, based on Mrs. Li's performance in front of the Ma family's housekeeper today, even if she goes, she will only cry and cry, with a pig teammate, it is better not to bring it!

Mrs. Li probably also thought of this stubble and sighed. I'm so useless, Xiao'er is only nine years old, if he is older, he can support his sister. It's just that now, it's hard for this daughter. When I thought about it, I couldn't help crying.

Li Jingshan saw that one head and two were big, and hurriedly persuaded her mother: "Don't worry. Things work themselves out. Go and rest. I was afraid that she would be cranky at home, so I sent her some work to do: "Tomorrow I will go to Ma's house, you and your brother can go to find some wild vegetables, today I have taught him how to find them, and we can also taste the wild vegetables in spring." ”

Mrs. Li finally found a little value in existence, and hurriedly agreed.

--------

Li Jingshan had been standing in front of the gate of Ma's house for half an hour, and she hadn't waited for Ma County's order to come out. The porter didn't even give her a pass, and directly blasted her out.

She turned to the back door to try her luck, but she really didn't work, she really dared to go to the county government to beat the drum and voice her grievances! Anyway, now she has no long things, she doesn't even have a reputation, and she is not afraid to wear shoes if she is barefoot, just see if the county lord is also shameless!

Just turning the corner, Li Jingshan saw a man and a woman standing by the back door of Mafu, with an intimate posture, looking like they were having a tryst. Li Jingshan wanted to avoid it, but she recognized those two people - it turned out to be her "ex-fiancΓ©", Ma Jirong, the son of the Ma family, and her second uncle Li Zhixuan's daughter-in-law and her cousin Li Jingyao!

Rao is now Li Jingshan's body has changed a soul, and she still can't help but feel a blockage in her heart, feeling sad for the original owner. She couldn't tell whether the Ma family had defected because of her family change, or whether the two had been together first before dissolving the marriage contract under the pretext of her father's affairs. It's just that the darkness of this person's heart is enough to make her shudder.

The two also saw her, and Ma Gongzi still showed an embarrassed look on his face, but Li Jingyao raised her head and looked at her defiantly, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

Ma Jirong whispered a few words to Li Jingyao, and then walked over to Li Jingshan. Li Jingshan tensed her back, stood like a small poplar standing upright, and looked at him coldly.

Ma Jirong stood two steps away in front of her, and said to her indifferently: "Miss Li, yesterday the Ma family sent the divorce document, and it is clear that from now on, men and women will marry irrelevantly. Why are you still here to be entangled? ”

Li Jingshan sneered, "Do you think I'm still reluctant to be a scumbag like you?" I'm just here to get my dowry back. She glanced at Li Jingyao over there, "Don't think that you are marrying the daughters of the Li family, even the dowry can be mixed and matched!" ”

Ma Jirong was angered by her, and said with a bad attitude: "What dowry? It's just that your father sent me the jewelry to tie my dad at that time! ”

"What did you say?!"

"At the beginning, my father and Ling Zun didn't make any written evidence, and what you said was empty, even if it made trouble to the yamen, you couldn't say it clearly." Ma Jirong's tone was flat, but his face was full of contempt.

Li Jingshan said angrily: "Then I will sue the yamen and see if the head of a county is still shameless!" ”

Ma Jirong interrupted her with a sneer again, "It's up to you? Not to mention that my father is the county order, you can have a chance of winning if you go to sue. I'm afraid that the young lady still doesn't know the procedure for filing a complaint, right? ”

Li Jingshan really doesn't understand.

She looked at Ma Jirong in confusion, "Isn't it true that you have written a letter and gone to the yamen to beat the drum and voice your grievances?" "That's how it is played on TV!

Ma Jirong was contemptuous and pitiful, and said condescendingly, "That's just the beginning." Before the people sue the officials, they need to receive 20 killing sticks before they can be presented to the official office. Whether the official office is promoted to the court depends on whether the official thinks the case is worth trying. Someone like you, who doesn't even have evidence, what do you think will happen? ”

Li Jingshan was dumbfounded.

Ma Jirong continued: "I kindly advise you. Seeing that the injuries on your body are not yet healed, it is not enough to say that you can stand this killing stick. Even if he wasn't killed, he lost half his life if he injured his muscles and bones, and it was another expense to ask for a doctor to extend medicine. I listened to the housekeeper...... You don't seem to have much money left at home. ”

That Ma Gongzi's tone was light, but he grabbed Li Jingshan's sore spot word by word. She didn't look at him like he was trying to scare her, it seemed that what he said was the truth. I felt disheartened for a while, and stood dumbfounded and speechless.

It turns out that in this hierarchical society, once you fall into the dust, you don't even have the qualifications to fight against those people.

Ma Jirong looked at her lost soul, and the ridicule in her eyes was even stronger, and he took out a few taels of silver from his arms, threw them on the ground, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "If Miss Li is short of money, you can use these silver first." ”

Li Jingshan looked at him, looked down at the silver on the ground, and instantly blushed. She wanted to smash the silver on Ma Jirong's face, but the embarrassment of her family forced her to put away her thorny dignity.

She stared at Ma Jirong, and her eyes seemed to erupt with fire. Ma Gongzi stood quietly, still with that sarcastic smile on his face. She looked at him for a long time, and finally crouched down and picked up the broken silver. Gritted his teeth and said: "One day, I will take back the things that belong to me Li Jingshan one by one!" With that, he turned around and walked quickly.

Li Jingyao's delicate voice came from behind her: "Brother Rong, such a person who doesn't know what to do, what do you do to her!" ”

"It's just a few dollars of broken silver, so I should send a flower child, so that she won't be an eyesore here."

Li Jingshan walked slowly step by step, her face was red as if she was about to drip blood, but she clutched the broken silver tighter in her hand. The family is still waiting for the money to buy rice for the pot, and she has neither the ability nor the qualification to put on a shelf to save face. But one day, she will take back all these things that have been trampled under the feet of those people!

Li Jingshan used the broken silver to buy some rice and grain to go home, but when she approached the old ancestral hall, she heard the shouts of people and the cries of her mother from the distance. She hurriedly ran over with her skirt, and saw two fierce and vicious people, pulling and pulling at her mother, and the younger brother kicking and beating the person beside her, but they were weak and useless.

"What are you doing! In broad daylight, is this a robbery or a beating?! ”

The two men were startled and let go of their hands, seeing that it was a little girl, and they didn't take it seriously. One of them said with a scar on his face: "What kind of robbery and beating people, repaying debts, it is justified." We're here to collect debts. ”
