Chapter 24: Making a Big Deal (Plus Update)

The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that if an elderly person over the age of 65 accuses his children of unfilial piety, the government must immediately accept it.

The crime of "unfilial piety" is the first of the ten evils, especially for the relatives within the five suits, if there is murder, beating, scolding, cursing, etc., it is the same as rebellion and rebellion, and it is regarded as an unpardonable capital crime.

Xie Kun and Ma's behavior was enough for them to die hundreds of times.

But Ji Yu's original intention was to help solve the problem, not to kill people, no matter how hateful the couple was.

Fortunately, there is another remedy - if the circumstances are not serious, and the parents are willing to forgive the child, and the child has the will to make amends, the capital crime is not necessary.

However, a meal is inevitable, and the government will send people to visit from time to time, which means to see the after-effects.

This is simply a ready-made weapon of deterrence!

At the beginning, Ji Lianbai proposed to split up the family several times, and Kang Pozi threatened him by going to the yamen to accuse him of unfilial piety. You must know that if this kind of case is sued to the county government, it is basically a case of one lawsuit.

It's just that most of the countrymen don't understand this, and they are afraid of officials like tigers. In their eyes, the official office will eat people, and it is even more dishonorable to see officials, and people who are innocent will not need to see officials for the rest of their lives.

What's more, who can really bear to take their children to court?

Therefore, incidents of abuse of the elderly are not uncommon, and those old people would rather endure each other, but they can't stand it anymore, so they go to find Lizheng, and the way of Lizheng and the mud doesn't play a role at all.

It's like Xie Kun and his wife, who don't know what filial piety is, even if they are forced to bow their heads for a while, and when Li Zheng and Widow Xie leave, they don't know how to practice Xie Lao Niang even harder.

According to Ji Yu's idea, it is better to make a big fuss than to make a big fuss.

After suing the county government and beating the board, Xie Lao Niang helped to intercede, the mother's love was reflected, the deterrence played, and the most important thing was the role of long-term supervision, so that he would not dare to commit it again if he wanted to.

Widow Xie listened to her suggestion and shook her head directly: "No matter what, it's my brother...... My mother won't agree to it. ”

Ji Yu guessed that this would be the case, and she was a little weak: "It's because I have this kind of mind that they are so unscrupulous." ”

"My mother has broken her heart for her children all her life, especially my ......" Widow Xie squatted down to wipe the water marks from the corners of her eyes for the old lady, "In the two years when Hu Dashan just died, it was all thanks to my mother who secretly sent some food to help, and I and several children did not starve to death." She didn't dare to pick it up during the day, for fear that the two would see it and make trouble, a pair of small feet, coming and going at night, and couldn't even drink my saliva...... Now that she is old and unable to move, they have no hearts and are unwilling to care, how can I leave her alone. ”

Xie Lao Niang said "ahh

Although this is too cheap for Xie Kun and Ma, the sheep has the grace of kneeling and the crow has the righteousness of feeding, and Ji Yu is not an outsider to say anything.

Widow Xie wanted to find an ox cart to pull people back to Dafeng Village, but Ji Yu called Uncle Xie directly.

The mule cart stopped at the door, Ji Yu put the things she bought aside, spread the mat in the vacant place, and Uncle Xie helped carry the people into the car.

Widow Xie went in to pack a few changes of clothes for the old lady and came out, Xie Kun and Ma Shi didn't ask from beginning to end.

It was already evening when I returned to Dafeng Village.

Taking advantage of the fact that Widow Xie was settling Mrs. Xie in the house, Ji Yu took ten copper plates to Uncle Xie.

Uncle Xie took pity on Mrs. Xie, and at first refused to ask for it, but when he saw that he couldn't push it, he said too much.

Ji Yu forced it into his hand, not to mention that he was helping along the way, and he had to travel in the dark on the way back, how could it really make people come and go empty-handed.

When Widow Xie came out with the money, Uncle Xie had already left, so she guessed that Ji Yu had broken the bill and had to stuff the money into her.

This time, Ji Yu waved her hand again and again: "Aunt Xie, don't be polite to me first, I have more places to trouble you, you see!" ”

She pointed to the pile of things she had just moved off the car.

Widow Xie was all focused on the old lady before, and then she noticed that she had bought so many things, including polished rice and white noodles, pork, oil and salt, cloth, and cotton......

"You, you ......" you were speechless for a long time.

Ji Yu knew that she wanted to ask herself where she got the money, and it was inconvenient to export, so she told her about the seller.

After hearing this, Widow Xie had a "no wonder" expression on her face.

"But it's not surprising that your mother has always been a capable person."

She thought that Fang Zi was left by the Wei family, and Ji Yu was naturally happy to have such a misunderstanding.

"That...... Aunt Xie, you also know that I am not good at needlework......" Ji Yu was a little embarrassed, "The matter of sewing quilts and cotton clothes will trouble you." ”

Fortunately, the original owner is not good at needlework, otherwise it would be really difficult to do.

Widow Xie glared at her: "What's the trouble, you are exactly the same as your mother, just talk about foreign words!" ”

Ji Yu didn't thank her anymore, and just pursed her lips and smiled on the side.

However, Widow Xie flipped through it and began to frown: "How can you use so many materials to make two sets of clothes?" ”

"I accidentally bought too much. If there are not Brother Liangzi, Dacheng and Xiaomei, Xiao'an Xiaohua, and Aunt Xie, let's make a few new clothes to wear. ”

What she is wearing now is still after Widow Xie changed her dress to a smaller one. Widow Xie didn't have a few good clothes in total, not to mention a few children, and it was difficult to find one without patches.

"It's good if they have something to wear, but what new clothes are they wearing? You're a mess! The days will be long in the future, and there will be many places to use money, so if your fingers are so big, no matter how much money you have, you can't help but spend it! I have to plan for the future......"

Don't care how she counts, Ji Yu let her say it, and she doesn't argue, she has already bought it anyway, and she can't leave it there to fall into the dust.

Widow Xie saw her like this, and knew that she didn't listen to her heart, and felt sorry for her money on the one hand, and relieved for Wei's on the other.

Wei raised a good daughter, and people were half kind to her, she read it, and she paid it back ten times and a hundred times.

Hearing that there were new clothes to wear, Hu Dacheng and Hu Ximei also surrounded Xiao An Xiaohua, but their eyes were suddenly attracted by something other than clothes.

For a child of this age, nothing is as great as the temptation and impact of a piece of meat.

"Sister Xiaoyu, is this, this meat for us to eat?" Hu Dacheng swallowed his saliva, his eyes staring at the big five flowers for a moment.

What day is today? Sister Xiao Yu just gave them candy balls, and when the sweetness of maltose melted in his mouth, he still thought it was the best thing in the world, but now he saw the meat he was thinking about, and it was still such a big piece!

Hu Ximei was more reserved, but she couldn't help but be full of excitement. She can't remember the last time her family cut meat.

Even Xiao An, with an unfinished sugar ball in his mouth, pointed with his little short hand: "Again, ......"

"Look at your little bit of talent...... "Widow Xie didn't scold in the end, the children were hungry like this, and it wasn't that she couldn't bear it.

Seeing that a few children were still in high spirits just now, it would be like frost, Ji Yu sighed deliberately: "It seems that today is not the time to eat meat, so let's not eat it first." When will we get the permission, shall we eat again? Anyway, it's cold, and it can't be broken. ”

"What if it breaks......" Dacheng muttered quietly.

A few children, you look at me, I look at you, and we go to see Widow Xie together.

Widow Xie was not angry or laughing, and she lost her face: "I can't care about you!" So he carried a few pieces of cloth into the house.

How can Hu Dacheng and Hu Ximei not know the temper of their own mother, this is what it means to allow it!

They danced with joy and jumped and jumped in the courtyard.

You'll be able to eat meat tonight!
