Seeing Lin Jinxiao's slowly approaching figure, the Chen mother and daughter were frightened and frightened, but they also felt joy in their hearts.
Mrs. Chen squeezed her already numb kneecaps and crawled over excitedly. She pretended to be aggrieved and cried pitifully:
"Dalang, it's all mother's fault. Mother shouldn't make you unhappy, let alone your wife, and put you in the middle. Today, mother specially brought your two sisters to apologize to you."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused dissatisfaction from the surrounding people, and the uproar sounded one after another:
"The treacherous son, he is really a treasonous son. In order to make his wife happy, he actually asked his mother to kneel down to him. I don't know who dares to recommend this person to be the magistrate of my Luyan Port. He is still a fifth-grade man."
"It seems that our life will be difficult in the future. If we don't respect our own mother, how can we be kind to ordinary people like us."
Listening to the whispers around him, Lin Jinxiao could tell that the mother and daughter were here to admit their mistakes, they were clearly here to stir up trouble.
"If you have anything to do, let's talk inside."
Lin Jinxiao stepped forward calmly and lowered his voice to signal.
"No, no, no, Dalang, let's talk outside."
Mrs. Chen waved her hands, pretending to be scared and aggrieved to reject him.
Lin Jinxiao sighed helplessly.
Since she deliberately wanted to bring the family scandal to the table, she had no choice but to accompany her to the end.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the aggrieved mother and daughter, and fell to the ground directly in front of everyone, and then pretended to be in pain and cried out in pain:
"Mother, we are all children, aren't we? Children have made you suffer."
"No, no, no, it's my mother's fault."
When Mrs. Chen saw that he finally gave in, she smiled happily, wiped her tears and got up to help him.
However, Lin Jinxiao held her down with force. Chen was stunned for a moment without knowing why, and then she saw him crying uncontrollably:
"It's my fault, isn't it? My child failed to control your family well, which made you hated by the villagers and cast aside by your clan. My child, please go and ask the clan leader to share the same sin with you, ask to leave the clan, and report to the imperial court to strip you of your honors and make atonement for your sins.
"
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she was immediately frightened and trembling and speechless. After a long time, she hesitated and said: "Master, mother, mother did not mean this."
She also pointed out that this step-son was trying to get the honor and be granted a royal title. If he invited himself out of the family and was deprived of his fame and honor, what hope would the family have in the future?
Lin Jinyun and Qin Xianglian were also frightened when they heard this. They pulled Lin Jinxiao, who was about to stand up, and cried, "Brother, it's all our fault. It's us who have caused you trouble. You can't do this."
Looking at Chang Yanjue in the distance, Nie Huaian looked confused. He didn't know what the student wanted. But when he heard that he wanted to become a member of the clan and be deprived of his honors, he began to murmur in his heart.
After listening to Lin Jinxiao's words, the surrounding discussions stopped abruptly. He immediately guessed that there must be a hidden secret in it, which would disgust the villagers, and he must not be a good bird if he was expelled from the clan.
Lin Tingzhen and the elders who came over after hearing the sound were even more distressed. They strode over quickly, pointed at the mother and daughter, and began to curse:
"You selfish mother and daughter are really stubborn. You have ruined your own reputation, and now you want to ruin your son's reputation. Are you worthy of Ting Shu's spirit in heaven?"
Looking around at the suspicious crowd, Lin Tingzhen said righteously: "My fellow villagers, I don't want to pay any more attention to today's matter, but it is related to the honor and disgrace of the Lin family, and I must seek justice for my descendants of the Lin family.
say."
As he spoke, he pointed angrily at the Chen mother and daughter, and continued: "This mother and daughter and her imprisoned son have caused trouble in the village for many years and disturbed the neighbors in the neighboring villages. This woman has also instigated many times.
The son cleverly robbed the villagers of their property, and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. He was not tolerated by the clan rules.
A few days ago, Mrs. Chen instigated her son to steal money from her step-son's family for medical treatment and was taken to prison. The mother and daughter still refused to repent, and took advantage of the step-son's family to go to their parents' home to visit relatives and pry open the door.
, even the oil and rice from home were stolen, so unscrupulous and causing trouble to the whole village, I would like to ask everyone, I am the head of the Lin family, is it fair to expel the mother and son from the family as a warning? "
After hearing these words, the crowd exploded again. They all glared at Chen and her daughter and commented:
"This is simply not treating your stepson as a human being."
"A stepmother like this is in trouble for eight lifetimes."
"Not to mention expelling the clan, people like this should be driven out of our county and exiled to the frontier to taste the pain."
Liu Yunyi angrily handed the food box to Chu Nanzhi's hand, raised her sleeves and was about to tear Ms. Chen apart. Several elders of the Lin family saw this and tried their best to stop her.
Liu Yun's eyes widened, and she continued to squeeze in front of Mr. Chen angrily, cursing:
"Mr. Chen, do you really think that the Chu family is all soft persimmons? You have repeatedly made things difficult for my daughter and son-in-law. What are your intentions?
It’s okay that your family has done many evil things and is not tolerated by the villagers. Last time you stole my daughter’s dowry and jewelry, and even emptied the house of oil, salt, rice and food. My daughter was kind-hearted and did not send your family to see the official. Now you are
You have come to harm my son-in-law again. Even if I risk my life today, I will not let your evil plan succeed again."
"Calm down, in-laws, and don't argue with her."
Lin Tingzhen glared at Chen and her daughter again angrily, and stopped in front of Liu Yun to comfort her.
Mother and daughter Chen secretly looked at the angry gazes around them, and were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their heads.
Qin Xianglian is a smart person. She disagreed with her third uncle's idea yesterday, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law couldn't stand it. Now that they have drawn public anger, it may not end well.
Seeing that her brother was determined to fight to the death, she had no choice but to turn her thoughts to Chu Nanzhi.
After all, this brother-in-law and sister-in-law have always been driven by vanity. Now that the brother has managed to get through and become a high official, even if the brother is willing to ask for his dismissal, the sister-in-law is definitely not willing.
She humbly crawled to Chu Nanzhi and begged sincerely: "Sister-in-law, my mother and I have sincerely changed our past mistakes today. If we want to admit our mistakes, please beg me, brother, not to remember the mistakes of others and forgive my mother and Erlang."
, they have realized their mistake, but we cannot really let our brother resign from his official position because of us."
The quadruplets hated this family the most. The last time Lin Jinhong beat Dabao and Sanbao badly, the bruises on his body were completely healed now. Seeing Qin Xianglian pleading for their second uncle, they all bulged their angry little eyes and silently pulled Chu Chu.
Nan Zhiyi turned his clothes in protest.
Chu Nanzhi touched the heads of several little guys and looked at the lonely figure not far away. Just after hearing the pretty boy's words, she had already guessed that this guy was unwilling to get along easily.
The Chen family compromised.
Looking at the majestic and solemn Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang at the gate of the county government office, she already had an idea in her mind.
Even in my own time, I would not dare to treat my stepmother and stepfather lightly, let alone this era of strict etiquette.
I'm afraid we still need to find a proper way to resolve this matter.
She knelt down slightly, and first smiled gently at Qin Xianglian: "Since my siblings and mother know that I have made mistakes, why did I come to the county government office again? Do I feel that I have been wronged, or do I feel that the head of the Lin family and An
Isn’t the treatment of Li Zheng in the neighboring village fair enough?”
Qin Xianglian waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, we are responsible for all this. The clan leader, Li Zheng and the elders are naturally fair."
"Since it is fair, why do you kneel down to the county government?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at the mother and daughter with lowered eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "This county government office is a place where people complain of injustice and handle cases, and provide justice for the people of the county. You have no grievances and no official business, and you kneel in front of the county government office for no reason.
Either he is deliberately disturbing the public order, or he has an ulterior motive to frame your brother who has just taken office. I don’t know which one it is, but I would like to hear it."
Seeing that the Chen mother and daughter had their heads buried tightly and did not dare to answer, Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and continued:
"If you want to deliberately disturb public order, I'm afraid the neighbors and county officials present will not tolerate you acting so wildly, and even County Magistrate Lin cannot protect you;
If he wants to frame your brother, then everything is as you wish. Didn't he just say that he is willing to ask for your family to leave the clan, and to report to the court to strip you of your honors to atone for your sins? Are you still satisfied with that?"
Hearing these words, the surrounding crowd of onlookers gnashed their teeth and cursed angrily: "This is simply not a human being. He has done evil things himself, and he has to implicate his own son."
"I heard that Mrs. Chen has not loved her stepson at all these years."
Some people who recognized Lin Jinxiao and his wife knew some of the inside story and could not help but speak out indignantly.
Chang Yanjue and Nie Huaian looked at the calm and composed Chu Nanzhi, savoring her words carefully, and their frowns gradually relaxed: What a ghostly and sharp-tongued stinky girl, and she was defeated in a dead end.
