The man was a gambler and owed a loan shark to the An family, so all the valuable things in the house were taken away.

At the moment, those things were sitting in the courtyard, and she was sitting on the empty bed with the child in her arms.

"Bastard, don't move my things, stop. Son...... If you were still here, you wouldn't dare to bully your mother at home. The mother-in-law's screaming made her want to laugh.

If the man is still there, the mother-in-law will only be even worse.

When Mo Xiaoqi looked at the people moving things in the courtyard expressionlessly, a roar suddenly came.

"Stop!"

Zhao Hongyi walked into the courtyard and looked at everything angrily.

Mo Xiaoqi, an orphan and widow, is still bullied like this, and as a county magistrate, he should be in charge.

"Who are you? Dare to take care of the affairs of the family! Someone asked.

"I'm the county magistrate of Renshou County!" Zhao Hongyi straightened his chest and went to the center of the courtyard to stop.

The servants of the An family looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "County order? Okay, then sell you a few faces. ”

"Mo Xiaoqi, listen, you'd better get the money together within three days, otherwise it's useless even if you have a county order to help. It's not easy to mess with! ”

A group of people left, and Zhao Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, this world." ”

"Thank you for the rescue." Mo Xiaoqi held the child and stood at the door of the room, saying grateful words in his mouth, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"Ah, it should be." Zhao Hongyi raised his eyes to look at her, but he couldn't understand the coldness in her eyes.

I just feel that this woman is different from others. When others died, most of them cried and cried and were depressed.

And Mo Xiaoqi in front of him looked indifferent, as if the woman who cried almost out of breath that day was not her.

"The An family will definitely come to trouble again, hey, how much silver taels do you owe them in total?" Zhao Hongyi followed Mo Xiaoqi into the house.

"Twenty taels." The corners of Mo Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, twenty taels, enough for the family to live a rich year.

"So much?" Zhao Hongyi couldn't help but be frightened, as the county commander of Zhengqipin, he only got 100 stone rice for a year.

"Originally, I only owed one tael, and I just rolled out twenty taels." Mo Xiaoqi sighed, her husband was also a gambler in the previous life, and he owed a lot of money, but he still took out all the dowry himself to reluctantly pay it back.

Zhao Hongyi seemed to have made a lot of determination, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rule the law and order." Of course, you have to pay back the money you owe, but the rolling interest is twenty taels, which is really unreasonable. ”

Someone is willing to help, of course Mo Xiaoqi will not refuse, holding the child and saluting the county order, "Thank you, adult." ”

She has heard of this county order surnamed Zhao, and she only knows that he is a clean official who is dedicated to the people.

The mother-in-law next door heard Mo Xiaoqi talking to the man, and scolded and said, "You, my son just died, and you hooked up with a wild man." ”

"Sorry for letting the adults see the joke." Mo Xiaoqi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, his already thin body made people feel pity.

Zhao Hongyi felt that he must seek justice for this orphan, widow and paralyzed old man.

If you really take out these twenty taels and return them to the An family, I'm afraid that this family, old and young, women and children will not have to live.

He put the one or two pieces of broken silver he brought on the table, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the An family, you can take one or two pieces of silver first, and if the An family comes to make trouble again, you will go to the yamen to find me." ”

Mo Xiaoqi saluted Zhao Hongyi again, "We orphans and widows are all saved by adults." ”

"Don't worry." Zhao Hongyi left these words, and turned his head out of Mo Xiaoqi's house. He wants to go back and collect evidence of An's guilt.

The mother-in-law next door was still chattering and scolding, Mo Xiaoqi put the sleeping child on the bed, turned around and went to the mother-in-law's room.

"You femme fatale, you killed my son, and you dare to show up." The mother-in-law was lying on the bed and couldn't move, but her mouth was not idle.

Mo Xiaoqi slowly picked up the gruel on the table, and there was no expression on his face, "Mother, if you plan to starve to death here like this, just scold... Scold me away, and you're going to be with your son. ”

"Such a vicious woman, she dares to threaten me! What if I don't eat? The mother-in-law raised a hand with great difficulty, trying to knock off the coarse porcelain bowl in Mo Xiaoqi's hand, but found that she couldn't.

"Come, mother, it's time to eat." Mo Xiaoqi suddenly smiled, scooped a spoonful of gruel and sent it to her mother-in-law's mouth.

The mother-in-law clenched her teeth, and she had the strength to starve to death and not eat.

"Don't die, if you die, the child will be surnamed Mo in the future." There is no greater threat than this, how can the lifeblood of the family heir follow someone else's surname?

The method of agitation is the most effective, and the mother-in-law obediently opened her mouth and ate the gruel one bite at a time.

In the final analysis, Mo Xiaoqi didn't hate her mother-in-law, and she could feel that the original owner of the body didn't resent her.

Although her mother-in-law loves her son like her life, she has also helped her stop the beating of men many times.

This is also the reason why she is willing to take care of this paralyzed mother-in-law, and one more, she does not want to cause gossip.

Originally, she was already the target of everyone.

became the woman of the family, and also served as the daughter-in-law of the An family, and now she is dead again. If my mother-in-law dies again, I don't know what others will say!

"Mother, we owe the An family twenty taels of silver, you know." Mo Xiaoqi paused, "If you don't pay it back in time, I'm afraid your grandson and I will have to be sold into slavery." ”

"Don't try to cheat me, I don't have any money." The mother-in-law glared at her and swallowed the last spoonful of gruel.

"I know, but don't you still have a gold bracelet? You don't need it now. ”

Mo Xiaoqi said that since her mother-in-law is paralyzed, it is useless to wear a gold bracelet, so it is better to use it to pay off debts.

"You!" The mother-in-law was so angry that she gritted her teeth and couldn't speak, but she finally pulled out the gold bracelet hidden high on her wrist with great effort.

"If it weren't for the child's face......" the mother-in-law gritted her teeth, and her breath was suffocating in her chest.

This gold bracelet was never taken out when the family was poor and nervous. After all, it was the only thought her husband left her, but now she can't take care of anything for her grandson.

"Mother, life matters, life matters. Money is something outside of the body. Mo Xiaoqi comforted her mother-in-law, "We won't be so poor, don't worry, one day I will redeem this gold bracelet." ”

She must clarify the relationship with the An family as soon as possible, although she has taken the letter of divorce from the An family, she can be regarded as a free body. But she couldn't afford to put herself in for twenty taels of silver.

Mo Xiaoqi turned his head and glanced at his mother-in-law, "Mother, believe me." ”

Her determined gaze was so startled that Wang didn't dare to speak.

Mother-in-law Wang looked at Mo Xiaoqi who turned around and went out, and muttered in her heart, is this sharp-toothed woman really her weak and easy to bully daughter-in-law?

Of course, she wouldn't know that this body was, but the core inside had changed.
