Chapter 278: Apology
"I'll tell you, old ginger, this is not over today. You really think that there is no one in our old Li family, right? is so hard to bully my daughter and aunt. Today, don't say that I beat these bastards of the Niu family, I have to sue them to the county office. In broad daylight, he dared to rob openly, which was really the opposite. Grandpa Li glared and said angrily.
"Why? That's my brother's house, it's our old Jiang family's business, and we just use it to honor our father. Why do you say that we are robbing? Niu's face also changed at this time, but he was still stiff-mouthed, and he quibbled there.
"The brothers who have separated from each other, each living their own life, even their parents, can't care about the same. You said you are a family, but are you still together in the household registration book? If you're not together, how can you call yourself family? Between brothers, borrowing is love, not borrowing is duty, you dare to rob like this. The laws of our Great Zhou Dynasty are not a joke. Village Chief Zhao looked at these people opposite and snorted coldly.
"Lao Zhao, can you not make too much trouble about this matter. You see, as for the things, the Li family has also taken them back. The people of the Niu family were also beaten by the Li family. Let's just expose this matter, can we? "Village Chief Wang is also related to the Jiang family, and at this time, knowing that the Jiang family is in a loss, he also has to help live in the mud.
Village Chief Zhao sneered, "Expose the past? Why? Look at the people of Lao Li's family, weren't they also beaten by your village? So how do you count this? Besides, the people of their Niu family are so rampant, if they don't cure them, then they can pay it back? In this way, if they don't want to go to the yamen, then go and kowtow to Yonglin and his family to apologize, and then compensate the Li family with some silver money as the cost of medicine for the treatment of the injury. How is it? ”
Village Chief Zhao and Grandpa Li grew up together at that time, and their relationship was also extraordinary, and the two old men had a good tacit understanding after getting along for so many years. As for the solution to this matter, he didn't even need to ask, he just said it for the Li family.
The Niu family on the other side didn't do it, "Why?" They beat us, so which one will we find for the money for the treatment of the injured? ”
Village Chief Zhao had a cold face, "Okay, then let's go to the yamen to see you." Well, let me think about it, if you come to the door to rob someone, you will probably have to beat 80 boards, and then be punished with hard labor, and it seems that you will inevitably be fined silver. Lao Li, let's rather not have their silver, how about getting them to play the board? Eighty boards are down, but I don't know if I can have half a life left. Village Chief Zhao's cold voice was stronger than the cold wind outside, which scared everyone away.
In this year, the people are most afraid of seeing officials, not to mention being beaten, even when they see officials, they will be scared to the point that their legs and stomachs will turn tendons. The four boys of the Niu family turned pale with fright, "Eldest sister, we can't go to the yamen, and if we are beaten down, we will not be killed." The fourth child of the Niu family said.
Niu's neck was stiffened, still unconvinced, "I don't believe it, the yamen is open for your family?" What do you say? When you go to the yamen, you have to treat the two sons of unfilial piety first. Niu's back was already soaked with sweat, and she was just bluffing.
The Chen sisters also echoed Niu's words, and said vigorously that they were going to sue Yonglin and his wife for unfilial piety.
Village Chief Wang really couldn't help it at this time, "Old Jiang Tou, you old Jiang family has no man, right?" Just let these ignorant women talk nonsense here. You don't even fucking fart, so I can tell you, I can't take care of this today. Yonglin is such a good child, Hanyu is even more gentle and virtuous, you know every day that you are bullying other people's two people. I don't hesitate to talk about you, you just let the loser of your family toss, and sooner or later you will lose your family. ”
Village Chief Wang's first daughter-in-law was Old Man Jiang's sister, but it's a pity that she died when she gave birth to a child, and the child didn't stay. Village Chief Wang said again that his daughter-in-law and relatives of the Jiang family are in such a non-salty way. For the Jiang family, Village Chief Wang can't look at it, but the relationship between the two families, he can't take care of their family's affairs. At this time, Village Chief Wang was indeed annoyed, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and was about to leave. "Lao Zhao, you can do whatever you like, I don't care about these things."
If Village Chief Wang doesn't care, these people in the village won't care, at most they are from the Chen family, and they can still be here. In the face of such people as Fifteen Daogou, they are also afraid, in that case, these people from the Jiang family and the Niu family will be at the disposal of others. When Da Chen saw this, he hurriedly stabbed her husband, "You are talking." ”
"What else do I say? Isn't it always yours in charge of the family? Can anyone listen to me? Old man Jiang squatted on the ground and muttered.
"Tell me, what are you going to do about this? Do you go to the yamen, or lose money? "Village Chief Zhao doesn't care about those, he really can't look down on the Jiang family's wreck.
In the past, the two villages came and went to each other, and they didn't think this old guy was so wasteful. Just looking at the Jiang family's land, the two sons are quite capable, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the family are quite harmonious, like a family living a life. Unexpectedly, there are still these troublesome things here. If Hanyu doesn't marry, the big guy really doesn't know, it turns out that the Jiang family is just donkey dung and eggs on the face these days.
The Chen sisters are now ownerless, and Xiao Chen hurriedly discussed with her husband, and in the end, she had to agree to pay the money.
"Okay, you can go and collect money now, ten taels of silver, take the money, let's not say anything. Otherwise, all of your four daughters will be sent to the yamen. Village Chief Zhao didn't raise his eyelids, and said expressionlessly.
"What? Ten taels of silver, what kind of injury can use that old money? Even if you smash my old bones, you won't be able to take out ten taels of silver. When Xiao Chen heard this, he burst into tears. Eldest sister, you have to take care of this matter, we are also here for you, but those are your nephews. ”
"Hmph, it's really strange, that's a nephew, and this head is still a son. My brain has been kicked by a donkey, and I can't tell which is far and which is near. Tie Zhu was standing aside, and then this sentence suddenly came out.
The people standing next to him couldn't help but laugh. I've never seen anything like this, my son doesn't hurt, but he has to protect his nephew.
Da Chen stared at the pile of things around the old man of the Li family at this time, and hated his second son to death in his heart. There are so many good things in the son's house, I don't know that I will share them as a father. This two of them are black-hearted. But what could she do now?
"Sister, I don't have any ideas about this today, you can do it yourself." Da Chen sighed, and gouged out his second son with his eyes several times, completely ignoring the embarrassment of the second son's face now blue and purple.
Xiao Chen pulled his daughter and the old man to the side to discuss, but in the end they could only give in. Xiao Chen's hand still has a little private room in his hand, plus the Niu family added some, and finally gathered ten taels of silver and handed it over to Village Chief Zhao. "Uncle Zhao, we don't have to go to the yamen this time, right?"
Village Chief Zhao handed the silver to the old man of the Li family, and then said, "Let's go, go to Jiang's house, kowtow to Yonglin and Hanyu." ”
So, the group came out of the Jiang family's old house and walked towards Yonglin's house.
Yun Xue is helping Hanyu clean up the house, this house was messed up by those people, and Yun Xue is helping to tidy it up. The house was finished, and I went outside, trying to clean up the barn, and these bastards had spilled some grain on the ground. Yun Xue wanted to curse while picking up the grain.
It happened that Village Chief Zhao and the others were all here, and the people of the Li family hurriedly put the grain back into the warehouse, and the remaining silver and some things were also taken into the house and handed over to Hanyu.
The Niu family knelt in the courtyard, said some words begging for mercy, and then began to kowtow to make amends. Yonglin and Hanyu are both honest people, and when they saw this meeting, they couldn't help it. It was Tie Zhu and Yun Xue who grabbed the couple and waited until the Niu family finished kowtowing before letting go.
Yonglin sighed, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother is not at home today, so I won't be embarrassed for you, when my eldest brother comes back, I will talk to my eldest brother well." I'm going to ask where I've been wrong with him all these years, and he's let people bully us like this. ”
Jiang Yonglin's eldest brother, Jiang Yongsheng went out to work. Life at home is also not easy, he goes out to work, he can earn some money, and he can also save some food for his family. It happened that a grain merchant in the county was going to sell grain outside, and there was a shortage of a few buddies, so a friend of Jiang Yongsheng took him along.
When Niu heard that he had to tell his husband, his face was even more ugly. Jiang Yongsheng will not have too much love for this younger brother, and her pillow wind has not been blowing in vain over the years. But if the husband knew about it, and he actually filled in another five or six taels of silver for the sake of his mother's family, I am afraid that the husband would not spare him. Thinking of this, Niu hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's the sister-in-law who is not good, the sister-in-law is not right, please, don't tell your eldest brother." ”
Yonglin shook his head and said nothing.
The Niu family doesn't care what the Niu family thinks, since the matter is over, there is no need for them to go to the yamen, this is better than anything. Although they were still a little jealous of the silver in Jiang Yonglin's family, they didn't dare to get it anymore.
Village Chief Zhao said at this time, "Everyone is here to watch the excitement, then I still have something to say." Today, the big guys also saw this little bit of the Yonglin family. My old man made it clear, we all know the contradictions between the Niu family and Yonglin. If something happens to the Yonglin family in the future, if something is lost or missing, it will be the Niu family's doing. When the time comes, we will have to go directly to the yamen to report the case. ”
