Chapter 1043: Sent to Jail for the New Year [2]
"Second sister-in-law, I'm a father-in-law and shouldn't lecture my daughter-in-law, but today I have to say something to you." Old man Yang also came out and pretended to be polite: "My eldest sister and second sister will get married in the future. If they don't have a paternal family, which good family will hire them as their principal wives? Being a concubine will make people despise them."
"As a mother, you have to think about the future of your older sisters, lest they blame you when they grow up."
"Mom is right, we won't blame you!" Luo Erjie's eldest daughter, Luo Sanxing, pulled her younger sister, Sixing, forward and stared at the old couple from the Yang family. "Don't try to use us to control my mom. Mom and I won't let ourselves be wronged again. We've lived like human beings and know how good life is. We don't want to go back to living like animals!"
Everyone was shocked. This little girl, who looked no more than ten years old, was so amazing that she could say such words that others would never understand in their entire lives.
"You, you, you..." Grandma Yang collapsed in shock at Luo Sanxing's words and cried out, "Oh my, fellow villagers, all the elders, look at this! My good and docile granddaughter has only been here for three months, and she has already turned her back on her father. How horrible! Do you still dare to let your daughter work here?"
"We in the Great Wei Dynasty govern the country with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, and propriety! Yet the Qin family has instigated their female workers to disown their paternal lineage. This is treasonous and a rebellion!"
Haha, Qin Xiaomi laughed: "That old woman knows quite a lot. It seems she practiced before coming here to cause trouble."
Mother Yang also felt that what she had just said could scare the Qin family. She looked at Grandma Qin standing beside the carriage and shouted at her: "You must be Old Madam Qin. Your family has achieved its current status because of the canonization by His Majesty. You can't allow your granddaughter to do such a treasonous person!"
"You are also a grandmother. If your granddaughter wanted to sever ties with you, you would definitely hate her very much. So, Madam Qin, Sister Qin, you can understand me, right?"
"Oh my god, you old hag are so shameless. You want to be my fifth sister-in-law's sister just by saying a few words. Are you worthy of being such a vicious thing? Get out of here!" Qin Liupo was furious. The fifth sister-in-law could only have her as a sister, so that she would love her the most.
"Why don't your daughter-in-law and granddaughter acknowledge you? Why don't they want to be part of your family? It's because you, an old bastard, are so vicious. Your whole family is torturing them! Oh, and you're torturing your second son too."
"So, you're Yang Erliang, right? Go back to the village and find out who your biological parents are. It's probably not Mrs. Yang. What kind of biological parents would torture their own son like this? They treat you like an animal and even kicked your wife so hard that she miscarried. They want to end your family line!"
"Oh my God, Aunt Yang treats you like a fool, yet you still listen to their orders and help them bully your wife and daughter, wiping out your own family line. Are you a slut? Or do you have a special fetish and love this kind of self-abuse life?!"
"Then just be an animal yourself, and don't drag your wife and daughter into suffering with you!"
"Luo Erniang, remember to report Yang Erliang's family and ask for your wages. My God, you've worked for the Yang family for so many years. According to the minimum wage in the workshop, you should have earned 500 coins a month. For ten years, you should have earned at least..."
How much is it? The amount is too large, and Qin Liupo, an illiterate woman, can't calculate it, so she asks Grandma Qin for help.
Grandma Qin said, "Sixty taels exactly."
"Oh my God, sixty taels! That's enough to buy your whole family's lives!" Qin Liupo's eyes turned red. She jumped up and pointed at Yang Po and said, "Sixty taels of labor! Pay it back quickly, or else I'll have Luo Erniang file a lawsuit against you, the Yang family, and have you all go to jail!"
Mother Yang was also very capable and started to curse back, "It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to work for the family. If you ask your in-laws for money just for doing some work, how can you be considered a human being? You're worse than an animal! And my Yang family provides Luo Erniang with food and drink, a house to live in, and allows her, a daughter of an orphan, to have a home. We, the Yang family, are loyal and righteous!"
She would also try to get fellow villagers to join her, crying and asking them, "You all have sons too. If your daughter-in-law came home and worked for the family, but then asked you for money and threatened to sue her in-laws if you didn't pay, what would you think? Would you be angry? Wouldn't you be heartbroken?!"
Granny Qin: "Old hag, your family treats your daughter-in-law like livestock, even kicking her until she miscarried, yet you show no remorse and try to drag the villagers down with you! You're trying to bring bad karma upon them!" "Stop with your scheming! The villagers aren't crazy, why would they help you?"
The villagers, repeatedly exploited by both sides: "..."
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Quiet, Mr. Qin has something to say!" shouted the Li soldiers.
As Master Qin was about to speak, the villagers immediately quieted down. However, Qian Shengfa and Mrs. Yang were quite critical. "How can a young woman be allowed to make the decision when Master Qin is present? This is extremely treasonous and goes against the way the Wei Dynasty governs the country. She's trying to rebel!"
Haha, Qin Xiaomi laughed happily, which made Qian Shengfa and Yang Pozi feel uneasy... What does this money-losing guy who refuses to obey worldly discipline want to do?
Qin Xiaomi shouted from the carriage roof, "Captain Tang, all the clerks of the Silifang Office, you have heard it with your own ears. The Qian and Yang families, without any evidence, have openly slandered my family, accusing them of rebellion. This kind of slander against meritorious officials must not be tolerated... My Qin family is hereby formally suing the Qian and Yang families. I ask Captain Tang and all the clerks to accept the complaint and apprehend the two criminals!"
What the hell?
The Qin family wants to sue the Qian and Yang families?
The villagers were shocked. They never expected that a feud between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would turn into a criminal case of "slandering a meritorious family for rebellion."
Is this hat a bit too big?
But did the Qian and Yang families ever say such slanderous words?
They had said it, and Mrs. Yang said it twice more, and they heard it with their own ears.
"Without any evidence, they openly slandered a family of meritorious service, and it is the people who corrupted the officials. This is a serious crime. Come, arrest them and send them to the county jail immediately to await trial!" At a command from Captain Tang, Yazi and other soldiers immediately set out to arrest the Qian and Yang families, including Widow Li.
"Ahhh, my stomach hurts. My stomach hurts so much. I seem to be bleeding. Oh, my child!" Widow Li used the same trick again. Unfortunately, there were many doctors in Taifeng Town.
Soon, Xiao Baiying and Granny Chen went to take Widow Li's pulse.
Widow Li was indeed pregnant, not faking it, but: "The pregnancy is in excellent condition, with no signs of miscarriage or bleeding."
In short: She pretended.
"Men, tie that widow's hands and feet, lest she ruin her own pregnancy and blame it on us!" Commander Tang was utterly fed up with this widow Li who was using her pregnant belly to cause trouble.
"Yes." The soldiers couldn't stand her anymore, so they went up to her immediately, quickly tied her hands and feet, and carried her to Qian Shengli.
"How is our son? Is he okay?" Qian Shengli asked with concern.
Widow Li had no time to pay attention to him now. She cried to Qin Xiaomi on the roof of the carriage, "Boss Qin, I didn't say anything slanderous about the Qin family. It was Qian Shengfa and Mrs. Yang who said that...Boss Qin, you are helping Sister Luo so much. It shows that you care about women. You know how difficult it is for a widow like me to live. I just want to find a way to survive. What have I done wrong? Boss Qin, please help me!"
"If I could work in the Qin family workshop, if I could have a job, I wouldn't want to be associated with money!"
