When I came back, I saw the two bamboo baskets and asked curiously: "Who has been here?"
"Girl from the Lin family..." Yin Ling whispered.
"Her?" I said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that the Lin family is not allowed to step into the house?!"
"But she brought mooncakes, roasted meat, and Liaodong ginseng." Yinling said, taking out a stack of banknotes from her sleeves and saying, "There are also ten-guan notes." It turned out that Miss Lin still brought money, just for precaution.
Here is Wang Er.
"Uh..." I took the money, smacked her lips and said, "Actually, if you think about it, it's not as bad as the family. It was her brother who caused the sin, and she has no grudge against us."
"Yes, yes." Yin Ling nodded and said: "Miss Lin also promised twenty strings, saying that the current turnover is not working well and will be made up for later."
"Oh?" Thirty guan is a big sum. Although the value of treasure money is depreciating sharply at the moment, a poor family like theirs will have to earn it for two full years. Although I am obsessed with money, I am still somewhat sober.
: "Why did she pay for your brother's medicine?"
"I know, I know." Yin Ling immediately became excited. She looked like a little bitch and lay on my mother's shoulder. She vividly talked about what she saw and heard, and of course, the parts she imagined...
'Oh?' 'Ah?!' 'Huh?!' 'Ha!' I exclaimed as I listened. After hearing this, I was shocked for a long time, then I touched my chin and said: "Although she is an annulled woman, her family seems to be in trouble.
I am poor, but how can I fall in love with your brother?"
"Maybe my brother has some strengths that we haven't discovered." Yin Ling's impression of her brother has changed a lot without knowing it, and she can actually think of her brother in a good light.
"Could it be that one of them?" I punched each other and hooked my thumbs. Then I remembered that the other person was my daughter, and immediately changed her face and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you have to do!"
"What does this mean?" Yin Ling also imitated her actions and asked innocently. My mother immediately turned red and roared: "If you don't put on the roof for three days, why don't you go and cook, are you going to starve me to death?"
!”
"I know..." Yin Ling was so frightened that she quickly ran away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two days later will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is one of the three traditional festivals in China. Eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival was invented by Emperor Taizu. Now this custom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If someone does not eat a mooncake during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is simply not called
Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This year, with Miss Lin's gift, I no longer have to worry about where to get a mooncake. However, I only left one, which was enough for the whole family to share, and the rest was sent to the neighbors by Yin Ling.
It's not that she suddenly became generous, but that the neighbors have really helped a lot in the past six months. Now I have Hangzhou moon cakes, but I eat alone behind closed doors, which even I can't do.
Besides, when had I ever suffered a loss? Not long after Yin Ling came back, neighbors came over one after another to reciprocate gifts. You brought a watermelon, I brought two sections of lotus root, and some generous people actually brought back a live fish!
When the three brothers and sisters saw their mother take out a basket of mooncakes, they exchanged enough ingredients for a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and earned a good reputation along the way! They were so impressed that they fell into admiration. This is the wisdom of life!
The old lady sneered proudly, looking at the piece of bacon hanging under the eaves, and thinking about whether she should cook meat for every meal and eat it until the winter solstice? Or should she save it for the twelfth lunar month and exchange it for a New Year's Eve dinner with her neighbors?
Oh, it’s so nerve-wracking...
Early the next morning, my mother and Wang Gui put on clean clothes and rushed to the countryside to congratulate the third uncle of the Wang family on his birthday.
As soon as I left, Yin Ling was waiting eagerly for her, even delaying the work of making shoe uppers.
Wang Xian was sweating profusely in the yard while recuperating. There was a thick copy of "Da Ming Rule" in front of him. Although the Wang family was not a scholar, because of his father, the family not only had "Da Ming Rule" but also "Da Ming Rule".
"Gao", but I heard that the latter is basically no longer used. If you want to be familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you can only read the former.
He read the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" not just for the Lin family's case, because all the regulations and laws of the Ming Dynasty such as etiquette, households, punishments, officials, and work were all included in the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty." If you read this book familiarly, you will be able to
Understand the rules of this society generally, know what you can do, what you cannot do, and what you should do in the future!
Although he only read part of it, it already made him understand his situation. No wonder Wang Erhui always dreamed of going back to the past! It turns out that the Ming Dynasty was a strict hierarchical society. The higher the level you are in, the more rights you enjoy.
Otherwise, the greater the restrictions you will be subject to.
Now he is the son of a prison official, only one level above the untouchables. He cannot take the imperial examination, cannot be an official, and cannot even do business, because when he leaves Fuyang County, he has to open a road for the government, and they will not open it for him!
In this era where blood is believed to be above all else, because his father is a prisoner, he can only sit in poverty and sorrow for the rest of his life without being able to relax!
In the eyes of future generations, the laws that were incomprehensible were like heavy shackles that wrapped around him, making him unable to move.
These days, he has been thinking repeatedly about how to go in the future, but in the end he realizes that he has no way to go...
If you don't want to be a gangster like before, you have no choice but to work for others for free or for free like your elder brother. You will be exhausted every day and can only earn a few dozen cents. Once you get sick or injured, you will be cut off.
Income, you still have to spend your own money for medical treatment!
Or we have to ignore Wang's law, take a boat to the center of the river, and ask the guests if they want to make a living by eating hob noodles or wonton noodles.
Both choices were so bitter that he actually had the same daydream as Wang Er - how great would it be if he could reverse his father's case?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. It turned out that Wang Er's self-abasement was actually pitiful...
"Brother, do you still have the heart to laugh?" Yin Ling pouted and said, "What time has it been? Are you afraid that your sister Lin will not come?"
Wang Xian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "When it comes, it will come naturally."
"Brother, you have really changed." Yin Ling looked at him for a long time and said seriously: "Now you look like an old man."
Wang Xian smiled silently, how should he explain it to her, or should he never explain it to her.
"In the past, you were croaking all day long, and you would quarrel with me when nothing happened." The little girl Jiajia said a little sadly: "After I got better, I never saw you take the initiative to talk, let alone quarrel."
"Just say it, I'm listening." Wang Xian smiled, "Besides, you are so sensible, why should I be a fool if I quarrel with you?"
"Hey, actually it's good to quarrel occasionally..." As expected of my daughter, she has such a strong desire to fight.
"Haha..." Wang Xian smiled and ignored her, focusing on exercising his legs.
It wasn't until noon that there was finally a knock on the door. The silver bell jumped three feet in the air. I hurried to open the door. Sure enough, it was Lin Qing'er wearing a power banknote, followed by her uncle Qi from her hometown.
"Sorry, I had something to do at home today, so I just had to leave." Lin Qing'er took off her clothes and apologized to Yin Ling. Today she was still wearing a plain dress, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked sick.
The look is very regrettable.
"Are you sick?" Yin Ling welcomed her in and asked with concern, "Why do you look so bad?"
"It's okay." Lin Qing'er shook her head and smiled. In fact, she was like this and had something to do with Wang Xian. If this guy hadn't destroyed her hope, Miss Lin could still persist with her inner fire until the string broke.
until.
These days, she seems to have lost her soul. Last night, she and her mother spent the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Thinking about her brother in death row, this is not the Reunion Festival on August 15th. It is clearly July 10th.
Wu Shangyuan Festival!
Miss Lin's sadness flowed backwards, and she finally fell ill overnight. When she woke up this morning, she felt dizzy and weak, and didn't want to go out at all. What's more, she went back to calm down and didn't believe that Wang Er could do anything to help her. Just out of trust,
Just dragging the sick body here...
Yin Ling let her into the house. This morning, my mother had cleaned the west wing spotlessly. Even her most cherished spider webs were not spared. She also put a pot of chrysanthemums... From what Yin Ling said, it seemed that she came from the gate of the county government office.
It was stolen. Unfortunately, Miss Lin was too preoccupied to take a look at it.
Even though I am a wise woman, I sometimes make miscalculations.
Wang Xian was curious as to why my mother was suddenly so nice and even arranged a room for him, but she had her own arrangements, so how could he dare to ask more questions?
The two still sat down across the square table, but there was a pot of chrysanthemums in the middle. Wang Xian carefully looked through the case records that Miss Lin brought. He had made up his mind that even if there was a glimmer of hope that this case could be overturned, he would do his best to resolve it.
Give it a try!
Through the files, he finally saw the full picture of the case... It started as an ordinary missing person case. At that time, Lin Rongxing's step-in-law, Zhao, went missing. Zhao's father filed a complaint with the county, accusing his son-in-law of killing his daughter.
The then County Magistrate Chen did not believe this, because the Lin family was both the richest man in the county and the most philanthropic. When the county built bridges and paved roads and built the county school charity warehouse, they gave the county magistrate great support. Moreover, Lin Rongxing was also a member of the county school.
As a student member, he is usually excellent in character and academics, and has a good reputation. Of course, County Magistrate Chen must do his best to protect the Lin family.
Therefore, Chen Zhixian did not try the case for the time being on the grounds that "you want to see the person alive, but you want to see the body dead". Instead, he ordered the two families to search for Zhao. The county also sent out manpower to search, and even sent a letter to the county for help. Two people came to the county to ask for help.
A few months later, the land security of Lingqiao Town in this county reported that a female body was found on the river beach.
It is now a peaceful time, and a murder case occurred in the county. It was a huge event. The county magistrate Chen immediately connected the female corpse with the missing Zhao family, and ordered Wang Xingye, the execution room clerk... who was Wang Xian's father, to bring him
He went to the scene with him and notified his family members to identify the body.
As soon as they arrived at the scene, the Zhao family recognized that this was Mrs. Zhao and burst into tears. However, Lin Xiucai denied it, believing that although the woman was bitten beyond recognition by wild dogs, she could still tell the difference from his wife.
In the end, they conducted an autopsy and concluded that although the female corpse was similar in age to Zhao, she had been dead for no more than seven days, and Zhao had been missing for two months, so she was naturally not the same person.
The Zhao family made a fuss at that time, but was suppressed by the officials. Finally, Chen Zhixian accepted the verdict of the deceased, dealt with the female body as a separate case, and ordered the two families to continue searching for the Zhao family.
At this time, the Western Zhejiang Inspection Patrol came to the county to inspect the judiciary and put up a sign to accept the lawsuit. The Zhao family appealed boldly. This time they not only sued the Lin family, but also sued the county magistrate Chen and Wang Xingye, accusing them of corruption, perversion of the law, and cover-up.
