Chapter 113: The Revenge of the Literati (II)

The second more

"At the beginning of my sister's pregnancy, the two abused her and almost miscarried; Our mother's family said a few words, and the two of them divided the family, except for the dowry of the sister-in-law, the brother-in-law almost left the house; My sister is pregnant, have the two of you ever visited once and sent a supplement? Even if they were called back for a meal? Then forget it, the family is separated, sister, brother-in-law once faux pass to the two? My sister gives birth to a child, but my in-laws don't care, what should my mother's family do? Can only take care of it. The result? You two ran to my house to scold your in-laws and elders. Should the two of them give their little nephew an explanation? Xin Kun wouldn't give them a chance to refute, so he stepped forward and said sharply.

"Oh!" The people watching the excitement on the side said 'oh' together. The eyes of Lao Wu and his wife were wrong, and everyone pointed and pointed, "How can there be such a wicked in-law!" ”

"What do you know, didn't you hear? Just now he was going to buy our shop again. We rented our last shop for decades, and business has been very good, so we were bought by this guy. So much so that we have to move here, it's him, our family has changed, and your sister is a troublemaker. "Mrs. Wu is crazy.

"You've been doing it for decades, and you haven't even thought about buying it, what's wrong with me buying it? Did I force you to move? I buy mine, what's your business? Did I tell you to move once? You know that I bought the shop, so I quit the lease directly. I bought the shop as a gift for my sister so you could be nice to her. Do I ask for more? I'm just asking you to be nice to my sister, is that too much to ask? ”

"Not only that, I have never seen such a shameless in-law. How expensive are the knives in the Xin family's blacksmith shop! This dead old woman, take it when she goes, and it doesn't matter if it's set before. Before and after, he took twenty kitchen knives. Not to mention that I haven't given a penny, I have to hurt the shop to work overtime to complete the order! The Xin family has given you benefits, and you can be kind to your daughter-in-law? The result? I abused my daughter-in-law, drove away my son, and didn't allow my mother's family to stretch out her hand! The mother's family stretched out her hand, and you ran to scold others, you picked up that son, right? Guo Peng slapped the table and shouted.

"Ah, the Xin family's blacksmith kitchen knife? Lao Wu, your in-laws are the daughters of the Xin family. "The reputation of the Xin family's blacksmith shop is very loud, and when everyone hears it, everyone looks at Lao Wu differently, and they all look at them like fools.

"What daughter, I just said, it's the daughter of the next person." Mrs. Wu is also the master who likes to stir up trouble on weekdays, and now what these three aunts and six wives outside want to say, where will she not know, and said busily.

"What a descendant, Uncle Li is the son of my grandfather's friend, and my grandfather raised him like his own son. Now Uncle Li and Aunt Li are filial piety under my grandfather's knees, which eye do you see that he is a subordinate? Xin Kun was angry and stared at Mrs. Wu, "Two, as I said just now, the two of them are so dissatisfied with their sisters, why did they accept the good of the two surnames in the first place?" Now that they have children, what are they thinking? Do you have to break up their marriage? ”

"Alas, if you don't like it so much, let your son divorce his wife? This little brother, you don't object, do you? ”

"I don't object to divorce, I don't divorce my wife, what does my sister lack, why should I let you divorce?" Xin Kun smiled and said gently.

"Alas, you two want to force other people's young couples to death? The young couple has just given birth to a child, and you let them separate, how can you do this, other people's in-laws, other people's younger brothers? An old man who ate listened to them for a long time, and when he saw them like this, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened the crowd and said to them.

"Sir, I am also a scholar, and I have endured them for a long time. If you have a daughter or granddaughter, would you put her in such a family? When my sister got married, we paid 32 dowries to accompany us, and a set of kitchen knives alone was worth thousands of taels of silver. As a result, they used my sister as a servant, and she was not allowed to rest even when she was pregnant with a child, and she almost had a miscarriage. If you don't want a daughter-in-law or grandson, then give it back to us. We take care of ourselves! Xin Kun looked at the old gentleman's Confucian dress, and hurriedly saluted him and explained.

"Alas, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and you say that you are a scholar, but you want to test your fame?"

"Yes!"

"If you are a parent official, how should you decide the case?" The old gentleman smiled and glanced at her.

"The old gentleman is in the test, he is mean and does not break the law. When a woman marries into her husband's family, she really wants to be killed or slaughtered. Originally, the small one could use the in-laws' wife to take the kitchen knife to court without asking about it, but when I thought of the loyal brother-in-law, I couldn't bear it. So for most of the year, as long as they don't go too far, we'll forget it. But yesterday the little nephew was not at home, and they came to our house to insult our ancestors. Now in front of me, he is so disrespectful, and yesterday he didn't know that he was so vicious. Now, if we want to sue them to the government for disrespecting the elderly, and let them pay a hundred and eighty taels of silver, what is the use of us? ”

"What, scolding the old man for losing money?"

"Dasheng Law clearly stipulates that relatives other than immediate family members who scold themselves, that is, uncles and aunts who scold themselves, or their own grandfathers, will be sentenced to one year in prison and 60 lashes with the cane. Of course, the court is very humane, and the two of them are so old that they don't want to be beaten and sentenced to prison, so they can pay money. It's called money ransom! I'm right, sir. ”

"Did you take the children's test?" The old man asked hurriedly.

"Yes, the villain has just returned from Fuhe and is preparing to take the prefectural exam in April."

"Your surname is Xin? Xin Kun, the head of the case in Fuhe County. The old man likes your article very much, work hard! What do you have to say to these ignorant people, you should have a separation paperwork, right? Now that the family has been separated, it is enough to make your brother-in-law come to the court with three festivals and two courtesies, and you come to the door to make noise, which is really self-surrendering. The old man shook his head.

"My sister and brother-in-law are honest people, and they really don't know the master who screams pain when they prick them with needles. And the elders of the little nephews are also their own people. The little nephew had already told these two before, don't overdo it, don't go too far. Isn't it okay for everyone to respect each other? The last sentence Xin Kun yelled at the Wu family couple.

"Now you're scolding us, too." Mrs. Wu was not a fool either, and said immediately.

"There are so many people here, dare to ask the two of you, which one of my words is a curse?"

"He scolded me, he scolded me for being a dead old woman." Mrs. Wu pointed at Guo Peng.

"I'll scold, what's the matter, I can't punish the doctor, the master is the prince, the only cousin of the emperor, I scolded you for a dead old woman, this old man, tell me, the master scolded this dead old woman, is it guilty?"

The old man was speechless, scratched his eyebrows slightly, and cleared his throat, "Little prince, the old man will go back first, little brother Xin, if you are angry, go back to study!" Exams are more important. ”
