Chapter 30: Self-inflicted
Chen's smile immediately froze on his face, and he didn't have enough confidence but forced his neck and said, "Li Zheng, what is my culpability, I'm her grandmother, can't I teach my granddaughter a lesson?" ”
Li Zheng said fairly: "If the juniors do something wrong, the elders can naturally teach a lesson." After a while, he said: "But indiscriminately bullying and scolding is really not done by the elders, and it will chill the hearts of the younger generations." ”
Since ancient times, filial piety has been supreme, but filial piety also depends on what kind of situation.
Although the people in the village are all born with mud legs, because of the talent of Lizheng, and the rules passed down from generation to generation, everyone is a person who abides by etiquette and understands etiquette.
I don't know that after coming to Xu Dahai's house, the Chen family acted as a prestige, bullied the two of them, and even almost sold Xu Lan.
Such elders are the ones that no one can afford.
Li Zheng is fair and impartial, so let Chen himself say his guilt.
Chen's lips squirmed, where did he say a word? Not to mention being watched by so many people, and knowing that once you admit it, you can't run away, and you're so scared, but you just don't admit it.
"If the milk doesn't admit it, then I'll say it for her." Xu Lan glanced at Chen, sneered in her heart, and immediately looked at Li Zheng, "Grandpa Li Zheng, is it okay?" ”
Li Zheng was just about to nod, but Chen shouted angrily, "No! That dead girl wished I was covered in sin, and let her say that she didn't know what to say yet! ”
An onlooker sneered, "For those things you do, are you afraid that others will add fuel and vinegar?" ”
Chen's face was pale, if it weren't for Li Zheng, it was estimated that he would have scolded that lady.
Li Zheng said with a straight face: "Since you don't want Xu Lan to say it, then you can say it yourself." ”
Chen was speechless again, and his face was very ugly.
Seeing that she shrank like a quail again, looking bullied, Li Zheng pulled down her face rarely, "Chen, you asked me to come here today, but you refused to cooperate so far, so I can't rely on you!" ”
Chen panicked, and just wanted to speak, he saw Li Zheng turning his head to look at Xu Lan, "Miss Xu Lan, if you say something is untrue, I won't spare you." ”
Xu Lan waited for this sentence, and she immediately said: "If there is a sentence that is not true, I am willing to be punished!" ”
Li Zheng was very satisfied, Chen's face was ugly as eating, and he was about to shout, but Xu Dahai quietly grabbed his clothes to stop him.
Xu Dahai wanted to scold his mother in his heart, if it weren't for the Chen family who had to invite Li Zheng to come over today, this would not have happened at all.
It's okay now, and it's self-inflicted.
In the future, he will not be able to see anyone when he goes out!
Of course, Xu Lan didn't say a word of untruth, but for the things that Chen did, she didn't need to add fuel to the vinegar at all, and in less than a while, she made Chen's accusations clear.
As an elder, he beat and scolded his daughter-in-law and granddaughter for no reason.
As an elder, he deliberately spread rumors to insult his granddaughter's name.
As an elder, he even has the intention of selling his granddaughter!
The last item, if it is serious, it is human trafficking, where to report to the officer, let alone forty boards, and you have to squat in prison for several years, which is a felony!
Chen's whole body trembled like chaff, afraid and angry.
There are three crimes in a row, and one almost touches the law.
Li Zheng snorted heavily, if the first two didn't stab him openly, most of the time he would turn a blind eye, after all, the elders of that family wouldn't teach the disobedient juniors a lesson? It's just that Chen is too much.
But the latter item, once decided, is a felony!
Chen also knows the seriousness of the matter, although she has never read a book and does not know how to read, but she still knows that human trafficking is a felony, and this crime must not be recognized!
"Dead girl!"
Chen glared at Xu Lan viciously, and then said, "Li Zheng, I don't recognize the third one!" Am I selling my granddaughter? I'm doing it for her good, and I want to find her a good mother-in-law! Who doesn't know that the situation of Carpenter Chen's family is the best, I let her marry to enjoy Qingfu, the dead girl doesn't know what to do, and she wants to deduct me for such a big crime, don't even think about it! ”
The words were hard, but Chen's hands were shaking at this moment.
Xu Dahai was also startled, and immediately agreed, "Yes, Lizheng, my mother can't do this kind of thing even if she is confused, she is really good for Lan Yatou, Lan Yatou married into Chen Carpenter's family, and in the future, she will have a man and a woman, and her life is not much better than at home." ”
What the two of them said was so good, if they didn't know the real reason, they really thought it was so.
Xu Lan sneered in her heart, she really didn't expect that the Chen family would have an excuse to quibble now, but also, if she didn't quibble, she would make a big deal out of it, but no one could save it.
"Milk, are you really doing it for my good? For my purpose? Xu Lan's eyes were cold, and she stared at Chen.
Chen's heart was weak when he was looked at by Xu Lan's eyes, but he forced his mouth to stiffen, "I'm your grandmother, who is good if it's not good for you?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Lan smiled, but her smile was full of sarcasm, "Then why did grandma faint when her mother returned the dowry?" Isn't it reluctant to give a dowry? ”
Chen's face froze suddenly, and the onlookers outside also discussed.
After all, almost the entire village knew about Chen's fainting at the gate of Chen's house, and he talked about it as a joke for a long time.
Everyone sees what is in their eyes, and it is useless to quibble.
Xu Dahai accompanied the Chen family against everyone's disdainful and sarcastic gaze, and they all wanted to bury their heads in the ground, so they didn't come out!
It's really embarrassing to be thrown home, Xu Dahai also regrets it, he knew that today, he should have directly refused Chen Ruoran to come to the door to propose marriage, so that now he didn't ask for money, and he lost face!
Chen was speechless, how else could she justify? She didn't have to defend herself, she just wanted the dowry.
"Lizheng, everyone knows more or less about the things in our village." A man spoke, "After the Chen family fainted at that time, Lan Yatou went into the mountains to pick herbs for her, if it weren't for the herbs that Lan Yatou picked back, then Chen wouldn't have survived at all." Speaking of conscience, Lan Yatou can do this, she is already very good. And after Chen woke up, he still started beating and scolding, and his behavior was really unworthy of being an elder! ”
Someone spoke, and someone immediately echoed, and even turned out all the good things Xu Lan has done these days and said, Xu Lan was a little embarrassed, when she taught everyone to recognize herbs, she didn't expect it to play such a big role here.
The situation is already clear, and no matter how much Chen quibbles, he can't come up with an excuse.
Li Zheng sighed and cast an appreciative look at Xu Lan, "Xu Lan's girl has really done a good job, repaying grievances with virtue, and her heart is even kinder." ”
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Chen, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Chen opened his mouth to say something, but Xu Dahai grabbed her, whispered, almost gritted his teeth, "My mother-in-law, don't make any more trouble, it will be even worse if you make trouble again!" ”
