Lin Jinxiao gritted his teeth calmly, and then continued: "If you had the love between mother and son, you would not have sold me to the Chu family for five hundred taels of silver, and you would not have come back again and again when I was in trouble.
San's came to the house and killed all of them. Our relationship as mother and son ended the moment you kicked me out of the house."
"Da Lang, please don't say such angry words."
Lin Yuan frowned and pretended to be kind and persuaded: "After all, your mother is."
"Third Uncle, do you still remember what Uncle Cai and the neighbors said just now?"
Lin Jinxiao interrupted him and looked out of the room with deep eyes: "I respect you as an elder. I won't argue with you about many things. Justice comes from the heart. I, Lin Jinxiao, am lame in my legs now, but not in my heart. Today I am determined
I invite my clan uncle and uncles to come here because I hope you can bear witness. If you still have any selfish intentions, then don’t blame me for not recognizing you as an elder."
Listening to these words, Lin Yuan's expression became more and more melancholy. He half-squinted his eyes for a while and didn't know what else to say.
Seeing that Mrs. Chen was so soft-hearted, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk about the truth:
"Okay, since you don't recognize our mother-son affection, Jinhong and Jinyun are your biological brothers and sisters. This must be true. You have the heart to send your brother to prison, how can you still look at them so cruelly?
My sister-in-law has been hungry all day long, so I just took some rice noodles and a broken jar. Even if you file a lawsuit with the government about the hundred cents, you will be fined at most one month of hard labor, but you will be stigmatized for being unfilial and unjust.
Are you so worthy?"
"To put it lightly."
Liu Yun's eyes suddenly turned angry, she cursed and stood up angrily, took the blue and white ceramic salt shaker from Chu Nanzhi's hand and held it carefully in her hand, and looked at Chen angrily.
Chu Nanzhi had already expected that Mrs. Chen would come like this. At this time, she no longer stopped Liu Yun and let her vent her dissatisfaction vividly: "Mrs. Chen, please open your eyes wide. Don't talk about my daughter."
Those few pieces of jewelry and this salt shaker are enough to banish you for three thousand miles and three years of hard labor."
After that, she walked straight to Lin Tingzhen and said angrily: "Clan Chief Lin, someone in your ancestors was the chief worker of our county, supervising the production of ceramics and jade for many years. With the wisdom passed down from your family,
It shouldn’t be difficult to identify the weight of this piece of porcelain.”
Lin Tingzhen pondered and took the porcelain from her hand, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.
Although the porcelain of this era is not signed, if it is made by famous masters and masters, each of whom has their own special skills, a discerning person can tell whose hand it came from from the production method and decoration of the object.
Lin Ting watched for a while, and saw that the jar was exquisitely made, with clear lines, and the clay was kneaded without any roughness or flaws. Such a delicate and delicate technique did not look like it could be done by ordinary craftsmen.
of.
After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was a rare blue and white ceramic. He immediately showed joy, nodded and sighed: "This is not an ordinary piece."
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
After Lin Tingzhen continued to inspect carefully from the inside out, he frowned slightly and said:
"This jar has a full shape and smooth lines. It is also engraved with a phoenix and bird pattern. Looking at the entire Dahe Empire, there are only a few masters who can produce such exquisite blue and white ceramics. But this lifelike and extremely beautiful phoenix bird
I'm afraid only Mr. Jiang, the county's previous work officer and now promoted to the imperial city, could have painted the pattern like this."
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Liu Yun looked at Mrs. Chen and replied in a sonorous tone: "This is what my daughter spent a hundred taels of silver to ask the old man to bake for her as a dowry at the bottom of the box before she got married."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Lin Tingzhen confirmed that it was Jiang Wenli's masterpiece. He was immediately in awe. He held the porcelain and began to caress it gently back and forth: "I heard that Mr. Jiang has stopped making porcelain for a long time. I'm afraid this thing is worth five or six dollars at least."
It's a hundred taels of silver. If you wait until the old gentleman has waited a hundred years, the value of this thing will be immeasurable."
After Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately collapsed to the ground, feeling regretful and resentful in her heart. How could she have imagined that this thing could be worth so much money? She should have hidden it just now if she had known that, but she only cared about spending time with the Chu family's little brother-in-law.
My son-in-law quarreled and went to hide some jewelry.
Five or six hundred taels of silver can be enough for a family to spend a long time.
She raised her eyebrows and stared at Liu Yun with dissatisfaction, and cursed with indignation: "Mrs. Liu, the dowry list you gave me didn't mention that this thing is so expensive."
"Huh, this is the dowry I prepared for my daughter. Why do I need to repay you with everything."
Liu Yun proudly snatched the salt shaker from Lin Tingzhen's hand and handed it to Chu Nanzhi. She said meaningfully: "Da Lang, Da Zhi, you heard what your clan uncle said clearly. Please take good care of it from now on."
Don’t let this dowry get away with you again.”
"Yes, mother, my daughter has remembered it."
Chu Nanzhi took the salt shaker, held it in her hand and watched it leisurely for a while. She looked at Chen and her daughter calmly and said with a smile:
"I'm not as cruel as you and don't want to kill them all. What Lin Dalang wants is just to cut off the relationship with you mother and son, and I just want my own things back. Today, Zheng and the clan elders are all here. Chen
Sir, if you hand over my jewelry honestly, I can consider letting you live, if not, you will be exiled for three thousand miles or you will have to shed your skin."
Mother Chen and her daughter were frightened when they heard this. Not to mention three years of hard work and rest, as this bitch said, just the three thousand miles of exile was enough to torture someone to death.
But if they are expelled from the family, no one will treat them in the village in the future. I am afraid that everyone will step on them if they see them.
Mrs. Chen bit her lips unwillingly and hesitated, but Lin Jinyun turned pale with fright and quickly confessed: "Brother, sister-in-law, please don't embarrass my mother. Sister-in-law, your jewelry was indeed taken by my mother. I will
It's your turn, I just ask you to let us live."
After saying this, she no longer cared about her dignity. In front of everyone, she put her hand into her belly pocket and took out a delicate silver hairpin inlaid with jade, and handed it tremblingly to Chu Nanzhi's hand.
When Qin Xianglian saw this, she sobbed and turned around and took out a pair of carved silver bracelets from her belly pocket. Third uncle Lin Yuan was so angry that he sank on the spot. He really didn't expect that the mother and daughter had gone so far.
His eyes were blinded, and his blood surged violently, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
He slapped the family tree on the table, glared at the Chen mother and daughter, and shouted: "You are really cheap to the core. Even if you don't plant nearly ten acres of fertile land in our house and sell it, you won't be in such a situation. How can you still be in this situation?"
It makes me angry to go to your aunt to complain. It really makes me angry."
Then he stood up and looked deeply at Chu Nanzhi, murmuring in a low voice: "Girl Nanzhi, you, you."
This damn girl is such a thief.
It was hard to say it out loud, so I sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to lead my children and leave resolutely.
"Uncle."
Mrs. Chen shouted outside in despair, and then collapsed on the ground dejectedly, her whole body depleted of energy.
Lin Tingzhen and the rest of the Lin family have never seen such a shameless person. Fortunately, they sent away the neighbors in advance, otherwise this old face would really have no place today.
After sighing several times, he asked someone to get a pen and ink and cross out the names of the Chen family, mother and son in the genealogy, and scolded Liu Qingbo in front of Liu Qingbo: "Brother Liu, from today on, except for Dalang and his family, all the members of the family will be deleted."
, the Chen family, mother and son are no longer members of our Lin family. From now on, the misfortune, good fortune, honor and disgrace will have nothing to do with our Lin family. Whether they live or die is up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qingbo felt as if he had been washed by a clear spring. He suddenly felt refreshed. He glared at the mother and daughter and said loudly: "Ms. Chen, you all heard it clearly. If I hear it again in the village,
Regarding your family’s evil deeds, don’t blame me for being ruthless, I will definitely drive your family out of the village completely.”
"Lord Li Zheng, you can't treat us like this, please do it for the sake of death."
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Qingbo interrupted her angrily: "Don't ever talk to me about Magistrate Lin again. The whole village is thinking of Magistrate Lin's kindness. Have you ever given him any kindness?"
, just now the patriarch of your clan made it clear that you have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore, why don't you get out of here."
Lin Jinyun and Qin Xianglian were afraid that Chu Nanzhi would pursue the theft again, so they trembled and hurriedly pulled Chen, who looked unwilling, and ran out in a panic.
