Mrs. Chen slowly raised her head and glanced at Lin Jinxiao, who was as solid as a rock in front of her. At this moment, she could see his hard-hearted heart and began to regret yesterday's decision.
But things have developed to such an extent that we can't stop easily.
Even if she can't get the couple's forgiveness, she won't make it easy for the couple. At worst, everything will be broken.
Mrs. Chen's eyes wandered erratically on the cold-looking couple, and she said with sincerity:
"Nan Zhi, don't talk nonsense. I am Dalang's mother. Even if I am not my biological child, I will not harm him. I came here today just to admit my mistake to you and your wife. Erlang
He is also his brother. You have imprisoned him for so long, and he has learned to repent, so please be kind and let him go."
"It's easy to talk about."
When Lin Jinhong was mentioned, Lin Jinxiao no longer had the leisure and elegance to accompany this woman to continue the painful drama. He stood up with a solemn expression and forcibly helped Mrs. Chen up.
Then he turned to look at Zhu Youan aside, and asked in a low tone: "Master Prisoner, please tell me how my unsatisfactory brother repented in prison?"
Zhu Youan shook his head helplessly: "Reporting to your lord, Lin Jinghong has been in prison for more than a month. He refused to obey the discipline, entangled the prisoners and beat the jailer, causing injuries to three jailers who were in custody.
The prisoners who were imprisoned caused minor injuries to two people and maimed five people. They were sentenced ten days ago and were sentenced to one level."
Mrs. Chen felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. She fell to the ground like a deflated ball. Then she prayed without giving up:
"Dalang, you are the county magistrate of Luyan Port now. Don't let anyone instigate you. Erlang must have suffered humiliation in prison before he became confused. Please take care of him first for your father's sake."
When Erlang is released, I will discipline him well and prevent him from continuing to cause trouble in the village."
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Chen's obsequious kneeling in front of the county government office must be guided by an expert, but he didn't expect that the person behind it was not a powerful figure and dared to let her directly.
Ask yourself for this matter.
Even if you want to forgive a villain like Lin Jinhong, others may not tolerate him.
If she does this, the next thing will be much easier for her.
He pretended to be furious and reprimanded Zhu Youan: "Zhu Youan, don't bully me. I just took office and don't know the affairs of the county. My brother swore to change his past before he was imprisoned. How could he do this in prison?"
Did you deliberately humiliate him and embarrass him when such evil things happened?"
Mrs. Chen quickly echoed: "Yes, Da Lang, they must have humiliated Er Lang. As the magistrate of Luyanggang County, you can't let these villains do whatever they want. You must punish these villains."
"Mr. Lin, don't listen to Chen's nonsense. Lin Jinhong committed evil in prison, and there are both personal and material evidence."
Zhu Youan had a bitter look on his face and was about to say something, but before he finished speaking, he was immediately refuted by Lin Jinxiao: "What about personal evidence and physical evidence? That prison is your territory. It's not your job to confuse right and wrong.
If you dare to sow discord between our mother and son again, I will hold you accountable."
Zhu Youan was speechless.
Mrs. Chen was secretly happy. It seemed that her stupid son still listened to her. Today's kneeling was not in vain. He really wouldn't know how powerful he was if he didn't force him.
Lin Jinxiao sighed and looked at Zhu Youan: "If you still don't listen to my mother, go and release Lin Jinhong quickly."
Mrs. Chen smiled brightly and looked even more proud. She pointed at Zhu Youan who looked unconvinced and said loudly: "Did you hear that? Go and release my son quickly, otherwise I will ask my son to remove you and hold you accountable for framed my son."
culpability.”
Qin Xianglian noticed something fishy, and secretly tugged at the hem of Chen's clothes, but Chen turned a blind eye, looked at Lin Jinxiao with a confident smile, and continued excitedly: "Dang, you can have such an awareness, I am very happy for my mother.
But now that you are worshiped as a fifth-grade county magistrate, shouldn’t you also ask for a royal title on your mother’s behalf?”
"That's how it should be."
Lin Jinxiao nodded and said with a smile: "My mother has worked hard to raise me, and she has done a great job in raising me. However, the head of the Lin family cruelly expelled you from the clan. My son is deeply saddened. This time, my son will not only ask for a royal title on behalf of his mother, but also completely separate from the Lin clan."
People draw the line.”
After a pause, he added: "What else does mother wish for? Today, in front of all the elders in the county, my son will be satisfied with you."
His sudden change of expression made the Lin clan and Liu Yun couple confused.
Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows in excitement. Thinking that just now Chu Nanzhi deliberately made things difficult for her, she felt depressed. She glared at her and said sternly: "Da Lang, you are really too domineering. If it weren't for this woman,
You have repeatedly instigated trouble. As for me, Jinhong and your sister will not suffer these hardships, you should divorce her and find a reliable marriage for you."
"you dare."
Liu Yun was furious, and the quadruplets also glared at Chen angrily and begged Lin Jinxiao: "Dad, don't listen to grandma's nonsense. It was obviously them who made the mistake. They stole money from our family and the people in the village. With that,
Why should we punish Grandma? We won’t allow her to divorce Grandma.”
"Shut up."
Lin Jinxiao scolded disapprovingly, looked at Chu Nanzhi with a deep look, and said in a cold tone:
"Ms. Chu, you heard what my mother said clearly. My daughter-in-law of the Lin family does not need much ability from you. The only thing you have to do is to be unconditionally docile and obedient. My mother did not treat you harshly, she just stole it.
You are resentful for your dozens of taels of silver and all the dowry. The unscrupulous people in the neighboring village have no kindness to you. You actually stood up for them and took Jinhong to jail. Today my mother is going to
Do you have any complaints if I abandon you?"
Chu Nanzhi was about to shake her head happily, but Lin Jinxiao felt anxious and immediately held her shoulders, coughed deliberately, and said solemnly:
"Chu Nanzhi, you have repeatedly disobeyed your husband, and you have to stand up for justice regardless of the life and death of the whole family. It only makes my mother unhappy. You also instigated the head of the Lin family and the elders to expel my mother from the clan.
go"
"Dalang, you can't say that."
Lin Tingzhen was very annoyed when he heard this, and interrupted him angrily: "My nephew-in-law did all this for the reputation of my Lin family. You must not be instigated by her."
"What about the reputation of the Lin family? As a woman, she knows what reputation is. Uncle, I think it's you, the elders of the Lin family, who encourage her to disobey her filial piety all day long."
Lin Jinxiao's eyes shone coldly: "My daughter-in-law of the Lin family does not need such a righteous and selfless person. She is just an ordinary woman, and she is not a court official. The only thing she has to remember is to be filial to her parents-in-law and obey their words."
"Mr. Lin's words are so unreasonable."
As soon as Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, there was a burst of restlessness in the crowd.
Everyone looked for the voice and saw Liu Qingbo, the leader of An Neighbor Village, leading many villagers walking towards them quickly.
When Liu Qingbo arrived in front of Lin Jinxiao, he acted neither humble nor arrogant, and said angrily: "Master Lin, you are the leader of scholars in our county. Now that you are the magistrate of this county, how can you not distinguish between good and evil?
Yes, Madam Chu did help the villagers of An Neighbor Village to get rid of the evil man Lin Jinhong, but it was all his own fault. As a county parent official, do you have to ignore the interests of the entire county for the so-called filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?
Do all the elders in this county have to let their mother and son bully them?"
The resounding words made the surrounding people even more angry, and the trend shifted to one side. Everyone began to sympathize with Chu Nanzhi's experience, and scolded Lin Jinxiao for being a "dog official" and a "foolish filial piety".
