"One...... One hundred taels! Zhang Cuiyun and Zhong Xiaodi couldn't hear the joy of closing the case, and exclaimed in amazement.

The two of them's voices were already sharp and high, and in an instant, they directly overshadowed the words of Master Li reading the verdict, causing everyone to look at them in unison.

Zhang Cuiyun's first reaction was to cover her daughter's mouth, for fear that she would delay her to be imprisoned again, and then said to Master Li very embarrassedly: "Lord Li! This, this is too much to lose! ”

"Do you have any objections?" Master Li said with a solemn and honest face, and said selflessly, "Zhong Xiaodi steals privately, buys and sells shops that do not belong to him, and affects the business of others, involving a value of far more than one hundred taels, according to the laws of this dynasty, he should be sentenced to prison!" ”

Fortunately, Zhong Xiaoshu was magnanimous and chose to be private. Everyone knows that the business of Wuxianglou has a daily income of more than five taels, and if you sell this shop, it will cut off Zhong Xiaoshu's livelihood, shouldn't you be compensated? One hundred taels is already an extrajudicial favor to you for the sake of you two being relatives of the plaintiff! ”

Zhang Cuiyun didn't know where to go, and was so frightened by Lord Li's official threat that he took Zhong Xiaodi to shake it fiercely.

As soon as Zhong Xiaodi cried, he was busy buttoning his head and worshipping, "Don't don't!" No sentence, no sentence! We are willing to pay money without sentencing! ”

If you are sentenced, you have to go to prison, who would dare to marry a woman who has been in prison! Zhong Xiaodi's second half of his life is over!

It's just that...... 100 taels they can't afford to lose.

Zhang Cuiyun didn't dare to beg Master Li anymore, so she had to turn her gaze to Zhong Xiaoshu on the side.

"Xiao Shu! Xiao Shu, since you have the kind heart to forgive me, then be a good person to the end, and spare us a little more! Zhong Xiaodi instantly understood what his mother meant, knelt and moved over, crying on his stomach.

"Yes, Xiao Shu, 100 taels is really too much, even if we sell our fryer, we can't make it up." Zhang Cuiyun nodded in agreement, wiping her face and wiping her tears.

How can anyone in this world be so shameless?

She agreed to withdraw the lawsuit, so that Zhong Xiaodi would be imprisoned, and these two people still wanted to make inches!

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't even look at them, and coldly raised his hand slightly to Lord Li above, and said, "Lord Li, the women have no objection to this judgment!" ”

"Ah...... This, this, this! "What can I do!

Zhang Cuiyun panicked in her heart, and her whole person was so anxious that she couldn't do it.

If their family can't compensate, won't they still have to go to jail!

"Xiao Shu! Don't you want to-" Zhang Cuiyun was in a hurry, and almost blurted out.

"But!" Zhong Xiaoshu smiled slightly, intercepted her words, and his body still maintained the posture of bowing to Master Li, and continued: "However, the folk woman wants to come to Zhang Cuiyun's mother and daughter and can't lose so much money for the time being, so she thinks of a way to get both." ”

"You say."

"Write an IOU in court!"

Everyone nodded in unison, if it is awarded so much, but people can't pay it, there is indeed only one way to pay the arrears.

And what Zhong Xiaoshu thinks is that with this IOU, whether the money should be returned or not is one thing, at least when they are cheeky to ask for money in the future, they can take out this IOU and ask them for debts.

At that time, what kind of thing to come to the door to sprinkle pit money can completely block them back, as long as they dare to make trouble again, and then go to the court to sue casually, they will be entangled if they don't pay back the money, and the board is light, and it will be a few days in prison to pay back the money.

Therefore, after Zhong Xiaoshu decided to withdraw the lawsuit last night, he thought about it and came up with such a way to deal with the aftermath.

"Zhang Cuiyun, Zhong Xiaodi, can you agree to this method? If you agree, you will sign in court, and if you don't agree, then you will still be dealt with by law! In the end, Master Li threw out two paths for them to choose.

But what choice is there, Zhang Cuiyun and Zhong Xiaodi's mother and daughter looked at each other for a long time, and finally had to grit their teeth and nod their heads.

"We ...... We agree! We are willing to draw and sign in public, and we will never dare to go back! ”

As long as it's not going to jail, then everything else is easy to say.

The master quickly drafted an IOU, in triplicate, clearly writing the reason for the matter, and then Zhong Xiaoshu and their mother and daughter signed their handprints respectively, each keeping a copy, and the yamen kept a copy for justice.

The mighty stick burst into bursts, and the last silent sound came from the court, and Master Li settled the case: "This case is closed!" ”

Finally settled a matter, both of them made some regressions, but in the end they got the result they wanted, in a sense, it was a win-win situation.

Yes, Zhang Cuiyun didn't say anything more, and she didn't dare to underestimate Zhong Xiaoshu anymore, the IOU with their handprints in her hand was like a hot yam, reminding her all the time that she still owed Zhong Xiaoshu a huge amount of money enough to make Zhong Xiaodi go to prison again!

"You, come into the house with me." As soon as Zhang Cuiyun returned home, she called Zhong Xiaoshu nervously, and then said to her daughter, "Xiaodi, you take a rest outside, and my mother and Xiaoshu will talk something." ”

Zhong Xiaodi, who had just come out of the prison, lost most of his temper, and he didn't dare to say a word, let alone look at Zhong Xiaoshu, but nodded very obediently.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Cuiyun turned out a piece of brocade fabric from the depths of the cabinet.

Although the material is a little old, but once it is in the sun, it is still faintly shining, and the fabric is still splendid with flowers and dark patterns, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite and elegant, and it is by no means a fabric that the Zhong family can afford to use.

Zhong Xiaoshu was slightly stunned in his heart, and a sense of familiarity and familiarity surged inexplicably.

Sure enough, I heard Zhang Cuiyun turn around and say to her, "Xiao Shu, this is the swaddling clothes that were wrapped around you when I picked you up, you are actually what I picked up from the river, and it was packed in a big wooden basin, the basin is long gone, but I made a special trip to keep this swaddling clothes and the note in it!" ”

"And a note?" Zhong Xiaoshu stretched out his hand to take the swaddling clothes, opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, there was a small note in it.

It reads: Now there are all kinds of cause and effect, I have to abandon my son temporarily, I hope that God will have mercy, and I will give you a good heart, if you are lucky, when the situation is settled, you will thank him heavily!

The handwriting is dignified and elegant, which shows that the person who wrote this note is a gentle and delicate, decisive and courageous person.

Through such a thin note, the emotions of a mother who are reluctant and have to do it are all expressed on the paper.

If Zhong Xiaoshu still had some resentment towards his biological parents when he first heard that he was an abandoned child, then when he saw this note, he had to sigh in his heart, it was just a trick of fate.

If you could, what mother in the world wouldn't want to cherish her child?

Even Zhang Cuiyun, who is extremely selfish, also has a preference for her daughter Zhong Xiaodi.

Everything is a thing of the past, and no matter how much you say, there is no way to change the past.

Zhong Xiaoshu folded the note back, hugged the little swaddling quilt that was now for her, and stepped out of the door of the Zhong family for the last time.
