Chapter Seventy-Eight: I want to sue Lin Dalang for unfilial piety
As soon as Sun heard that Lin Yue had pulled her house in, he hurriedly said: "We live with our father, and we can help more, how many times have you come to see your father and mother since you split the family?" Even the pension money was only given once. ”
"That's three years, three years to give five taels of silver, this is called filial piety?"
Lin Yue retorted: "Second aunt, didn't you forget that our family got almost nothing when we split up, where did you ask my father to get the money to support them?" ”
"That's your family's business, anyway, our family has to support our parents." Sun said.
Mrs. Lin also followed: "In the past, you didn't have any money to give, and we didn't ask for it, but now that you make money, you still want to give pension money, I raised your father so big, did I make him ungrateful?" ”
"Now that we are so old, if he doesn't come back to help with farming, just give us pension money, my wife, I want an ox cart to make it easier for his father, he won't give it, so don't feel sorry for his father's son, I have never seen such an unfilial son with him in the village."
Lin Dalang, who had been silent, said: "Mother, my father is old, I go out to work by myself every day, and when I come back, I send my father and second brother to the town, you say I don't feel sorry for you?" Where am I not distressed? ”
"Just because I don't give you the ox cart? Is it too little for me to give you five taels of silver? If this is unfilial, then the son has nothing to say. ”
Lin Dalang, who has always been honest and dutiful, can also say such things, which shows that he is really angry in his heart.
Mrs. Lin pointed at his nose and scolded, "Is this the tone in which you should talk to me?" You're still angry, did I work so hard to pull you up just to make you angry with me! ”
She cried: "I'm really miserable, I actually raised such an unfilial son, why am I so pitiful!" ”
If she doesn't pay attention to her, she will sprinkle, and many people who watch her are dissatisfied with her.
An old lady couldn't help but say: "Mrs. Lin, it's not that your son's ox cart won't let his father sit, not to mention that now that the family has been separated, don't you feel ashamed that you still want your son's property?" ”
"Am I ashamed? Who am I throwing away? That's my son, I worked so hard to raise him, can't I reach out and ask him for something now? Mrs. Lin shouted at the top of her voice.
"I want to ask, how many of you don't ask your son for money, I didn't ask him to take care of me, I didn't ask him to ask for pension money, now he is living a better life, I don't know how to repay our second elder, can't I still scold him for being unfilial?"
The crowd did not answer, and they could not answer it.
Lin Yue opened her mouth and said, "Grandma, it's not like my father doesn't help grandpa, why do you have to ask for an ox cart?" Or do you want ox cart gas not for your own use, but for the second uncle and them? ”
Everyone also looked strange, this Mrs. Lin was really strange, and it wasn't that she didn't let him ride the ox cart, why did she have to fight for it?
Could it be that it is for the second room family, the partiality of the Lin family is well known in the village, but this is too partial.
Sun hurriedly said: "You can eat food indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I haven't said a word about asking for an ox cart, don't wronged people." ”
"Your father is not doing his job, this ox cart is also a waste in your house, we go up and down the mountain every day to move goods, there is an ox cart can save a lot of effort, I want an ox cart that is also afraid that you will have no money at that time, so I will sell the ox cart."
"Grandma, you said that Dad is not doing his job, but what will Daddy do, Daddy will farm, we ask you for land, you don't give it, so what can we do?"
"That's all good at the beginning, but your father doesn't want it, but it's not that I don't give it to him." Mrs. Lin said.
"Yes, what grandma said is, then I also said to grandma, we should have done all our filial piety, grandma doesn't appreciate it, we can't do it, in the future, my father will still pick up grandpa and second uncle as usual, but we can't give this ox cart out." Lin Yue said.
Mrs. Lin said fiercely: "Okay, I know that your dead girl is unfilial, you have to give this oxcart today, if you don't give it to me, you will make trouble in the middle and go to the yamen." ”
Lin Yue was not afraid of her threats and said: "Grandma can say it if she wants to, I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people." ”
Mrs. Lin said confidently: "Okay, I want to see if there are any sons in this world who don't support the elderly, and I want to see who the official master will help to speak." ”
Lin Dalang pulled Lin Yue, he knew his mother, his mother didn't care about this, she said that it was really possible to go.
If you go to the government, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, as long as you go, it will be bad for your reputation.
He didn't mind, but Lin Yue was a woman after all, and her reputation was full of twists and turns, and Lin Dalang really didn't want to lose his daughter's reputation because of an ox cart.
"Yue'er, my mother is right, no matter what, I was raised by her, and I have the obligation to take care of her." Lin Dalang persuaded.
Hearing him say this, Mrs. Lin said triumphantly: "Did you hear that, people like you who don't know how to respect their elders and contradict their elders, as long as they come to the official master, they have to sentence you to a crime of disobedience." ”
Lin Yue is a modern person, she doesn't know the punishment in ancient times, and she doesn't know what will happen if she is accused of unfilial piety in ancient times.
Sun looked at Lin Yue's puzzled look and said, "Yue'er, I'm afraid you don't know that if you are judged to be unfilial by the official master, you will be punished." ”
"In the past, if you didn't support your parents, you didn't have the ability, and your father and mother didn't ask you to ask for it, but now, if your father and mother ask you for it, and you don't give it, it's unfilial."
Lin Dalang knew what the punishment was, and they didn't give it in those years, so it was a loss, maybe he would really be sentenced to unfilial piety.
He softened and said: "Mother, Yue'er is still young, she is not sensible, she bumped into you, don't worry about her." ”
Looking at Mrs. Lin's arrogant appearance, she only felt angry, many ancient ideas were really ignorant, which made her restrain her hands and feet.
She thought to herself that she couldn't compromise easily, or the vampires would not be able to suck our family.
She moved her eyes and said: "Grandma, Daddy hasn't come back to see you much over the years, and my mother hasn't supported you, they really didn't do it right, I think it's better for us to move back in the future, wouldn't it be more convenient to support your second elder?" The ox cart can also be used by everyone. ”
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she refused: "Then no, there are not so many places for you to live at home, if you really have filial piety, give me the ox cart." ”
"Grandma, if we don't wait in front of you, then how can we be filial to your old age, how can things be valuable, second uncle they are waiting in front of you, you only see their filial piety, you can't see us."
"You say that we are not filial, then we want to come back and be filial to you now, why don't you let it, do you hate us so much, and don't even give us a chance to make amends? Aren't we filial to the Lin family and good for the village? ”
They were all watching the play just now, and then they remembered that if there were unfilial people in any village, everyone would be said to be unhealthy in the future, and it would even affect the marriage of children.
So, everyone couldn't help but say: "Mrs. Lin, the children know that they are wrong and want to make up for it, so you give it a chance to make up for it, don't keep yelling at the yamen." ”
"That's it, don't bother everyone, if you are unreasonable, we will call Li Zheng to come and comment, your Lin family has been making too much trouble recently, and Li Zheng is already dissatisfied with you."
"Li Zhengke said, if you let the whole village be disgraced with you again, then he will drive you out of the village."
The audience all moved Li Zheng out, and Mrs. Lin didn't dare to continue to act recklessly.
"It's really unnecessary to come back to serve, as long as you give me the ox cart, I won't accuse you of unfilial piety." Mrs. Lin gave way.
