When Wu Dafu heard about fifty thousand dollars, he couldn't help but turn around to find Dahua, and lowered his voice and said, "I need money to cut the knot."
Dahua lowered her eyes and did not respond. The Guo family had already said anxiously: "We are willing to choose the second method and pay her for medicine and... vegetables every day."
Even if the Guo family could afford 50,000 yuan, taking out so much money at once would drain the family's resources. Why not buy her medicine and groceries every day? It only costs a hundred yuan a day, so how much does it cost in a year?
The Guo family couldn't quite figure it out, but they always felt it was less than half a million yuan.
Wu Dafu was a little anxious. After pulling a handful of big flowers, he said to Bai Shan: "Sir, we don't want them to buy medicine and vegetables. Who knows what they will add to it? We only need 50,000 yuan to cut the flowers."
Bai Shan didn't look at him, but looked at Da Huadao: "What's your choice?"
Dahua bit her lip. She also wanted money, but she knew in her heart that if she wanted money, it would be difficult for her to get the money. Not to mention eating eggs and meat, it would even be difficult for her to take medicine.
With money, is Wu Dafu still afraid of not being able to marry a wife?
Dahua hesitated for a moment, then heard Bai Shan pat the table lightly and said: "But no matter what you choose, this county will not listen to you."
Dahua raised her head in shock and heard him say: "I let you choose whether to forgive the Guo family. To be fair, the Guo family naturally has a chance to choose. The choice of compensation is their chance."
The Guo family cried with joy. Now they no longer felt that Bai Shan's initial requirements were harsh.
Dahua also breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Wu Dafu and Dafu Niang's expressions were ugly.
The rich lady cried loudly: "Then my grandson's death was in vain? Sir, from now on our Wu family will have no descendants."
Bai Shan asked the mother and son, "Whose fault is this? Wu Dafu, Webster, are you not at fault for the child's death?"
Mother and son choked.
Bai Shandao: "Every murderer should be punished. Ma paid the price with heavy bleeding and half his life. The Guo family paid the money. Naturally, you mother and son will also have to pay the price."
He said bluntly: "If you, mother and son, dislike Ma's inability to have another child, this county can mediate a divorce for you."
Dahua's face turned pale and she said subconsciously: "No, don't."
Bai Shandao: "Of course, this county respects the wishes of each of you. If one party wants to reconcile and the other party doesn't want to, the county will mediate a few more times and we will definitely satisfy you."
Wu Dafu didn't say anything, but Dafu's wife couldn't help but asked: "If we are reconciled and separated, can our family get compensation from the Guo family?"
"No," Bai Shan said: "The Guo family's compensation is for the Ma family. On the contrary, the Wu family needs to return the Ma family's dowry and at the same time give her a certain amount of alimony to settle down."
The rich lady screamed, "Why?"
"She was a good daughter who married into your family, but within three or four years she was in this dilapidated state," Bai Shan said, "She did not make a big mistake. Since it is a divorce, this county will naturally ensure the reasonable interests of both of you.
"
Rich lady: "She can't give birth to a son."
Dahua's face turned pale.
Bai Shandao: "She was born, but she just died. What's more, one of the seven children, Wu Chu, doesn't specifically refer to boys. She also has two daughters. Just because of this, you can't divorce her."
That's a far cry from divorce. Not to mention giving alimony, even if they don't give it, after the divorce, it will be difficult for their family to marry a good daughter-in-law under such conditions.
Da Fu Niang stopped saying anything, and Da Hua breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Even if she was forced to do this, she didn't want to leave the Wu family.
Bai Shan knew that the reason why the relationship between neighbors in this alley has deteriorated so much is mostly due to suspicion, and suspicion is even more taboo between husband and wife.
In this case, it is better to speak openly, tell the worst consequences, and then find a solution that best suits the interests of both parties.
Bai Shan asked Wu Dafu, "Do you want to reconcile with the Ma family?"
Wu Dafu looked up at Dahua sitting next to him and saw that she was staring at him nervously. He couldn't help but blush, and finally shook his head.
He couldn't afford to leave this marriage.
Bai Shan nodded, and the matter was settled. Then he glanced at the onlookers and said loudly: "The Guo family and the Wu family have been punished respectively. It is understood that the next step is for you and others.
Already."
He said: "Rumors are like a knife. This knife cannot be seen or touched, but it is not blunter than a sharp knife. It does not cut people's bodies, but cuts people's hearts. It can be said that a knife can see blood. Come to think of it, everyone
This time I also saw the power of rumors.”
"This county hopes that you can be friendly neighbors in the future. If there are disputes, what if we give in to each other?" Bai Shan said: "If the Guo family and the Wu family could give in to each other when they had disputes at the beginning, how could they end up like this?
At the cost of human life, which one of you will feel better?"
Everyone bowed their heads.
Bai Shandao: "As for spreading rumors that Ma family cannot give birth to a boy, you are responsible for this. I will punish you and others for carrying the Wu family's water for a year."
He said: "There are a total of twenty households in this alley including the Wu family. From now on, each household will take turns one day and one turn every nineteen days."
Bai Shan looked down at Guo Dacai and said, "Including your Guo family."
Guo Dacai and Diao lowered their heads.
Bai Shan asked: "Does anyone have an opinion? If so, raise it immediately. If not, the county will treat you as if you have accepted the punishment. If you accept the punishment but do not do it, if the county knows it, it will not just punish you to carry water."
No one objected.
They felt bad when Bai Shan detained them for the hearing yesterday. Later, he pointed out that they were also responsible for the Guo and Wu families. They saw that the Guo family had been fined so much just now. How dare they say anything now?
It's just carrying water, and the nineteen households come in turns, so it doesn't sound too difficult.
Bai Shan then looked at the secretary.
The clerk immediately showed him the written judgment.
Bai Shan scanned it carefully and handed it to the clerk after making sure it was correct, "Let them sign and stamp it."
The judgment was not long, only two pages, but there were many people who needed to sign it. It took the clerk a while to get the signed judgment back and give it to the county magistrate to stamp.
Seeing that they had finished their work, Man Bao took a step forward and said, "Since everyone is here today, I will take the opportunity to share some facts with you. Some facts that you think have always been false."
The people outside who were about to disperse quietly took a look and immediately came together again.
Zhou Man stood in front of Bai Shan's table and said: "Let me introduce myself to you first. Next week Man, I was ordered by the Qingzhou Medical Office to open a medical office in Qingzhou. I am an imperial physician."
She said: "Many people think that having children is a woman's business, but everyone knows that there is something wrong with this statement, because a woman alone cannot give birth to a child."
The crowd was in an uproar. How could such a thing as giving birth to a child be discussed in public?
Man Bao seemed to know what they were making a noise about. He picked up the gavel in front of Bai Shan's table and slapped it hard. He shouted sternly: "What's the noise about? You guys are always urging couples to have children. That's what you said right now."
Why are you making so much noise about having a baby?"
This sounds true at first glance, but why does it always feel weird?
