Yuan Xuan reluctantly sent Wei Wei away, and after he left, he took care of his mother-in-law's bedside for eight days.

It wasn't until the ninth day that Wei's mother's condition improved significantly, and Yuan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the house to sleep for a while.

In fact, Wei Xian's head is not easier than Yuan Xuan, the new official has three fires, and the first thing he does after taking office is to deal with the miscellaneous things that have accumulated in the past few months.

It's really a miscellaneous matter, there are all kinds of trivial things, and he is particularly irritable when he looks at it one by one.

Especially the old team left by the previous county commander didn't listen to his orders at all, and they stumbled him everywhere, which made his face look more and more cold day by day.

Yuan Xuan didn't know this at first, but it wasn't until there were a few troublemakers in the house that she knew that the position of this county order was not as easy to sit as she imagined.

She waited for a long time at home behind closed doors, and when the weather became hot in early May, she didn't wait for Wei Wei, and she was particularly worried about his safety.

It is said that not only those who make trouble, but also the big merchants in the county are also difficult to deal with, and I don't know how Wei Wei is doing now, is he doing well? Have you ever dealt with these difficult people?

On the second day of the fifth lunar month, Yuan Xuan and his mother-in-law were making zongzi under the eaves, and Cui's was preparing some things for the Dragon Boat Festival.

The three of them were discussing the specific matters of the Dragon Boat Festival, and suddenly there was a "bang" at the gate, and several people were startled at the same time.

Yuan Xuan is even more, she has a sigh in her heart, if she commits something and comes to find a relationship, it is better to send it away, but if it is still like the previous two times, she deliberately came to make trouble?

After coming back to her senses, she asked her mother-in-law to go back to the house first, got up and wiped her hands, and said to Cui's who was looking at her: "Sister Cui, let's go and have a look together." ”

"Hey." Cui Shi responded succinctly.

On the side, who was practicing the weight, he also stopped unconsciously, and the two of them wiped the sweat on their foreheads casually, and their eyes stared at the gate tightly.

Yuan Xuan walked in front with a solemn face, and when he opened the door, he saw a short and thin middle-aged woman in front of the door.

The woman had a white flower pinned to her head, and her face was pale and looked haggard.

After looking at it, Yuan Xuan asked politely, "May I ask who you are?" Who are you looking for? ”

The woman didn't expect that the person who brought her really didn't lie to her, she was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said: "The little woman is from the county seat, and she came to find the wife of the county magistrate, but the lady is the wife of the county magistrate?" She lagged behind in her words and subconsciously looked back.

Yuan Xuan followed her eyes and saw that there were two middle-aged men dressed as subordinates not far behind her, and these two men were wearing exactly the same gray clothes.

Next to them was a small sedan chair carried by two people, and next to the sedan chair stood a woman dressed as a maid, who was looking around with disgust.

Seeing this, Yuan Xuan took half a step back without a trace, frowned and nodded to the woman in front of him: "My grandson is the new county commander, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

The woman knelt on the ground excitedly, kowtowed to Yuan Xuan and cried while saying, "Ask Mrs. County to make decisions for the little woman, the little woman's grandson died so miserably!! ”

Yuan Xuan was stunned, and hurriedly took two steps to the side to avoid her and said, "I can't help it, you calm down first, let's talk about anything slowly."

If there's anything I can do to help, I'm not going to sit idly by. After speaking, she glanced at Cui.

Cui Shi nodded imperceptibly, but he reached out and fished it out, and instantly set the woman up.

At this time, the people who lived nearby had already heard the woman's cry, and they came out to see it, and after a while, they surrounded the gate of the Wei family.

Mother Wei naturally heard this movement, and she was afraid that Yuan Xuan would suffer, so she also walked over with an anxious face.

The woman was out of breath crying at this time, and only after a while did she look around and choked up: "The county lady and the visitors don't know, the little woman was still a mother a few days ago, and she and her grandson were harmonious.

But now, there is only one little woman left in this world, how can the little woman's life be so bitter! ”

Although Yuan Xuan sympathized with her, she kept crying and crying indistinctly, which made her a little upset.

Besides, let's not talk about whether what she said is true or not, the purpose of her coming is very suspicious anyway.

Since she said that she is from the county seat, what can't she do to go to the county government and talk to Wei Wei? What can a woman's family do when she comes to her?

At this time, it was not only Yuan Xuan who was suspicious, but Uncle Dacheng's mother Zhang Shi was even more scrutinized, and after a while, she frowned and lengthened her face.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan Xuan patiently asked the woman: "With such a major matter of human life, why don't you go to the county government to find the county magistrate to make your decision?" Why did you come so far to find me? ”

The woman's eyes were obviously a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down and said, "The county magistrate, he is too busy to see the little woman, and the little woman has no choice but to come to the lady to make the decision." ”

She told everyone that her health has not been good since she was a child, and it is difficult to get pregnant, and she has taken a lot of medicine over the years, and was finally diagnosed pregnant by Lang Zhong at the beginning of the year.

As a result, more than a month ago, she had a few arguments with the widow at the door of her house, and was pushed by the widow and lost the child in her belly.

When her husband found out, he was very sad and angry, and went to the widow to ask for an explanation, but the widow killed her.

At this time, the woman saw that everyone was looking at her sympathetically, so she wiped away a handful of tears and said sadly: "That day, the little woman could not wait for her grandson to come home for a long time, so she dragged her sick body to the widow's house opposite to find someone.

But when she entered the house, the little woman saw her outer son, lying in a pool of blood, with round eyes. His body stiffened, and he had been dead for an unknown amount of time. ”

Everyone looked at her with tears streaming down their faces, and they all remembered Hongxiu and Hongxi at the beginning, and they all sighed and sighed.

The woman did not know what they were thinking, and then she wiped away her tears and said, "The little woman searched around but did not find the widow, and when she saw that there was no more of value in the widow's house, she knew that she had rolled up and fled."

Later, the little woman dragged her sick body to handle the aftermath of her grandson, and went to the county government to beat the drum and voice her grievances, but no one paid attention to the little woman at all.

Madame, the little woman is at a desperate end, and I beg you to call the shots of the little woman! ”

After the woman finished speaking, she knelt down towards Yuan Xuan again, tugging at the hem of her skirt tightly in her hands, and after a while, she kowtowed several times.

Yuan Xuan didn't react for a while, and was forced to suffer several. Seeing that the people around her looked at her with a bit of a good look, she felt very uncomfortable and dragged her clothes from the woman's hands.

Although I didn't like her behavior very much, if what she said was true, then she was really a poor person.
