The Wang family is rarely brightly lit tonight.

On the main seat, sitting is the patriarch of the Wang family, with gray hair, a slightly hunched back, and bright eyes.

The village chief sat on his left hand side, holding the crutches with both hands on top of the cane, and his waist straight.

Mrs. Wang stood in the middle of the hall, receiving everyone's scrutinizing and dissatisfied eyes, and subconsciously looked at Wang Tongsheng who was sitting at the end, wanting to seek refuge.

But Wang Tongsheng looked away, and the three sons behind him also looked indifferent, and Mrs. Wang's face suddenly turned pale and her heart was cold.

Su Mo watched Gu Jinnian slip behind the door and hide in the shadows, so he walked in without hurry.

"I was just coaxing the child to sleep, and I was late, I hope the village chief and the elders of the clan will forgive me."

Su Mo was not a member of the Wang clan, and the clan elders laughed back without squeaking.

The village chief pointed to the empty chair with his cane and said, "Don't get in the way, go and sit." ”

As a bitter master, the treatment is naturally better than that of the princess.

Su Mo was not hypocritical, and walked over directly and sat down.

The patriarch of the Wang clan coughed lightly, his sharp gaze swept over everyone, and said: "It's not too early, the big guy is very tired when he comes back from going out to sea to fish, so I won't rub it in."

I think everyone knows about this matter.

Stealing, the criminals are out of seven, but the thought of giving birth to the Wang family is meritorious, the crime is not so much, special punishment: fasting and kneeling in the ancestral hall for one month.

Wang, do you have any objections? ”

The indifferent expressions of Wang Tongsheng and his three sons had already made her understand that no matter how the patriarch punished them today, they would not help to say a word.

Left and right is to go to live in the ancestral hall for a month, as for whether she kneels or not, who can know if she is inside?

Thinking about this, Mrs. Wang felt better, and knelt down: "The nephew and daughter-in-law know their mistakes and are willing to be punished." ”

The patriarch nodded in satisfaction, his eyes glancing at Su Mo.

The dim candle flame flickered, she hung her head, the broken hair on her forehead naturally drooped, making people unable to see her clearly, and the candlelight fell on her, which was visible to the naked eye as thin and weak.

The patriarch's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little compassion in his heart, but when he thought of the four children of the Wang family, he still hardened his heart.

"There are already wild beasts in the mountains, and if you don't touch the big insect Wang, you will also touch it.

Although the Wang family is at fault, Wang Yingying can be regarded as blocking the disaster for you.

Now that she knows that she is wrong, I will make her apologize to you, and give two taels of silver as compensation, is it feasible? ”

This is clearly and muddy, Gu Jinnian, who was hiding in the shadows, clenched his fists and stared gloomily at the patriarch of the Wang clan on the main throne.

The village chief also frowned, two taels of silver is not less, but it is not worth much compared to the loss of people's livelihoods.

It's just that in the end, it is the patriarch of the Wang family, and when he sees him on weekdays, he has to call him uncle, and he can help everyone who can help him, and it depends on the Su family himself......

Su Mo still lowered his head, didn't say a word, and his body trembled slightly, but the light in the room was too dim for no one to see.

The patriarch is also a man of all kinds on weekdays, and when he saw Su Mo ignoring him, the compassion in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Su Mo with a sharp gaze, and his tone was heavier.

"Su Shi, if you are dissatisfied, say it bluntly, what are you doing with your head down?"

Su Mo raised her head at this time, she pursed her lips, her eyes were red, and her palm-sized face was full of tears.

"Whatever you say is what you say.

My family is a foreigner, my man and in-laws are gone, orphans and widows, and I have no ......."

She sobbed, raised her hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, looking pitiful.

"Although the only way to make a living is not available now, I believe that two taels of silver can still last for a while.

When the money ran out, I took my three children to the yamen to register, and it was okay to get a subsidy......"

The village chief's brows gradually soothed, and the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow arc, it seems that this Su family is not stupid, the Wang family has the best face, her trick is really to hold people.

The faces of the elders of the Wang clan were a little unbearable.

Who can receive the subsidy for the yamen?

Those are people who can't survive, and they have no choice, so they go to register, and then the yamen will arrange a job, not tired, and after doing it every day, they can receive five cents, and a meal, barely maintaining food and clothing.

If this really allowed the Su family to lead the child, wouldn't it be a matter of words?

"What do you say, what is helpless?

Your Gu family has lived in Luoshan Village for so long, and you have long been part of the village, so our elders are naturally also your support.

Two taels of silver is indeed less, but it is enough for a year to save it, so where is it reduced to receiving subsidies?

In this way, you will be given five taels of silver, is it feasible? ”

Su Mo sat up straight and was about to speak, but Mrs. Wang raised her body and shouted, "No, no."

I admit that I am wrong about this, but as you said, Patriarch, my family Yingying was injured because of it.

Not to mention the money for medicine, it is more than one or two silver, and in the future, the hand can't hold the needle and thread and can't do heavy work.

If you have to ask me to give five taels of silver to the Su family, then ...... Then my family's Yingying's medicine money has to be paid by the Su family, and she has to pay a sum of money to my family's Yingying! ”

This is really thick-skinned like a city wall, Su Mo laughed angrily, she raised her head, and her eyes were shining.

"Listen to this, I went up the mountain to steal the game from my trap and was injured, but I dug a trap in the mountain.

If it's really a good bully for our orphans and widows, if that's the case, why do you pretend to invite me over?

The way to survive is gone, so it is better to go to the yamen to inquire about how to deal with this crime of stealing......"

As she spoke, she looked like she was forced to get out of the way, stood up, and was about to go outside.

If this is to make trouble in the yamen, the disaster of Wang Pozi's imprisonment will inevitably be inevitable, and the road of the imperial examination for the four children of the Wang family will come to an end.

The law of the Dayong Dynasty says that those who are imprisoned, direct blood relatives and in-laws are not allowed to enter the office.

When Luoshan Village was set aside for three years, the Wang family had a lifter.

At that time, the Wang family could be described as infinitely beautiful, but the following year, the imperial examination fraud was exposed, and that person was implicated, and he was later dismissed from the identity of the lifter and beheaded.

Although the Son of Heaven was gracious and did not implicate the clansmen, the Wang family was still deeply affected.

Until the nineteenth year of Yuan Yong, when the imperial court investigated the case of embezzlement of the imperial court's disaster relief money, it was implicated in the original fraud case.

Emperor Jingyong ordered the two cases to be investigated together, and the latter person was cleared of grievances, and the court compensated fifty taels of silver to his descendants.

In the twenty-third year of Hou Yuanyong, Wang Dafu took Wang Kuixing down and successfully passed the Tongsheng examination, and the following year Wang Kuishou and Wang Kuiyuan went down and were also successfully admitted to the Tongsheng, and gradually improved......

"Stop!"

The patriarch glared at Mrs. Wang with hatred, and then looked at Su Mo, and his tone softened a lot.

"The villagers, where can they make trouble in the yamen.

Wang's words are indeed excessive, in this way, if you need to mention anything, it is easy to talk about it, you say yes? ”

Su Mo's footsteps stopped, his slender body stood straight, and there were tears in his eyes, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to have listened.

"Cheng, for the sake of the patriarch's face, I'll just say it."

The patriarch looked at Su Mo's eyes, and his heart became inexplicably uneasy.

This Su Shi looked like a soft and cowardly little white flower, with tears in his eyes, and his pitiful appearance was really pitiful.

But when it comes to actually speaking, every sentence pierces their hearts, and they don't see blood when they kill.
