"Don't tell the truth in front of the official." Meng Changqing said: "Come on, take down Wang Lamei, and scold the cane three times." ”

Wang Lamei kept sighing, until she was stripped of her coat, and she was hit three times on her back.

She was shocked and completely recognized the horror of the yamen.

"Wang Lamei, do you know what's wrong?" Meng Changqing asked the man lying on the ground.

"Knowing your mistakes." Even in winter, her palms are full of sweat at the moment.

"If the official asks you again, can you admit to bullying and abusing Shu Erhua."

"I didn't feed her, and I didn't buy her any clothes, but the county lord, which daughter-in-law ......"

Before she finished her words, the shocking wood rang again, and Wang Lamei and Luo Xinzhu were both frightened.

"You just have to say yes or no, and you don't need to say anything else."

"Admit it."

"Shu Erhua, your mother-in-law admits to abusing you, so what do you want, explain it in court."

"I want to leave!"

"Luo Xinzhu, Wang Lamei, are you willing?"

Wang Lamei suddenly came back to her senses at this time, and looked at the person on the high seat fixedly, she felt that she understood.

It must be the county lord who fell in love with Shu Erhua, so her family had this disaster.

Wang Lamei didn't dare to resent Meng Changqing, so she complained about the bunch of Erhua, and cursed her in her heart for not abiding by women's morals.

Meng Changqing asked again, and Wang Lamei lay on top of the court and had no choice but to agree.

Peace is a foregone conclusion, then the next step is the division of property.

The piece of land that Shu Erhua brought, Meng Changqing asked her to return it.

"Your Excellency." Bafang couldn't help but say: "A house has been built on the ground, do you want to demolish the house?" It's not good. ”

"If your family doesn't go out of the land, you can buy it from the government, and now the price of the homestead in the county is one cent of land and one tael of silver, so you can give the money."

"One or two!" Wang Lamei cried: "People like us, where can we get so much money." ”

"I can't give it for the time being, I allow you to owe it first, and then give it when the autumn harvest next year comes."

Wang Lamei only cared about crying.

But obviously the blood of this family, Meng Changqing has not finished yet, "How much of the grain you harvested in the autumn was cultivated by the two of you?" ”

After dividing the homestead land, they will also divide their food.

Even if Wang Lamei is reluctant, how can she be tough against the county officials? Thinking about the beating he had just received, he had to tell the truth that most of the grain harvested in the autumn was cultivated by Shuerhua.

"You marry Luo Xinzhu, this Wang Lamei is your mother-in-law in the end, and it is impossible for all the grain you grow to belong to you." Meng Changqing said to Shu Erhua, "You take away forty percent of the family's grain, and the rest is your filial piety to your former mother-in-law." ”

Shu Erhua was naturally happy, and she didn't think she could get food.

Meng Changqing withdrew from the court, indicating that the case was over.

Shu Erhua and Wang Lamei held the book written by Meng Changqing in their hands, and from then on, Shu Erhua and Wang Lamei's family were completely separated, and they were two families that had nothing to do with each other.

"Young Master, Young Master!" Bafang hurriedly caught up with Meng Changqing, "It is said that it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, why do you have to intervene in this matter?" ”

"I'm willing, and I just have the right to do that." Meng Changqing kept sorting out the papers on the desk in his hands.

Bafang pressed it onto the desk, "Young Master!" Did you fall in love with the new daughter-in-law of the Luo family? ”

Meng Changqing frowned, "That's all you can think of in your mind?" Could it be that I can't look down on what she's suffering? ”

"Alas, I said young master! How many years have I been with you, I think I know you very well, and I know that you can't fall in love with other people's wives, but even I can't help but think this way, and others will think like this.

Even if you are a kind and poor woman, that woman will inevitably suffer from gossip when she leaves Luo Xinzhu's house, her life will not be easy, why should you harm her into a more difficult situation? ”

Meng Changqing asked rhetorically: "Then is her life better now?" ”

"Although it's not good, most women come over like this, isn't there a saying, a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and she will naturally have a comfortable life at that time."

"It's not a matter of women or women." Meng Changqing said: "This is a person with a little power, oppression of the weaker.

I can't get used to it.

There are difficulties on both sides, one is that she can't eat enough, she can't dress warmly, she keeps working, she is already so tired physically, and mentally she can say good things to her with Wang Lamei?

In another place, she can support herself by herself, work for herself, eat when she is hungry, add clothes when she is cold, rest when she is tired, and although there is gossip, she can have a place to stay.

Bafang, we have grown up together since childhood, you should know that I have never asked others to understand when I do things, but only to have peace of mind.

Let me watch her suffer, and let me comfort her with words like 'daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and your life will be better', I can't do it."

If she worked hard for years, she might not live to that age.

And she shouldn't have suffered this in the first place, why should the food she grow support a person who constantly oppresses her?

I don't dare to say anything else, but within the boundaries of my Beishan County, I can't tolerate such a thing.

If she dares to beat the drum of injustice, I dare to judge like this. ”

Happo took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, "I really don't understand you. ”

Bafang couldn't figure it out, so he went to the Wen clan and said it, and when he sent the tonic medicine to the Wen clan, he said, "The young master has a good reputation among the people, why should he be affected by this kind of thing?" ”

"It's a trifle." Wen took the medicine bowl, "You still don't understand Changqing's temper?" Don't let her out of this breath, that's the big deal. ”

Bafang came out of the back office and saw several officials rushing out, "Hey, a few big brothers." He asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Master Meng ordered, let's go and help Shu Erhua carry food."

"Now that the grain is moving, the bouquet of Erhua has no house, where is the grain going to move?"

"Move to Luo Yu's house." The official who took the lead replied, "Since the post house was built, hasn't Luo Yu been living in the post house, his house is empty and no one lives, Lord Meng took the lead and asked Shu Erhua to rent Luo Yu's house first. ”
