The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 26

Uncle Li asked Young Erlang to escort the three troublemakers from the Wang family to the Yamen. He deliberately avoided Mao Ge's family and asked his son to follow them.

Uncle Li met the county magistrate and respectfully handed Xiuniang's letter. The magistrate opened it and read it, then smiled and nodded.

"It's a small matter, just leave it to me. I guarantee it will be handled smoothly."

Uncle Li presented the prepared gift, "Sorry for causing you trouble, we really can't do anything. Brother Ping has spent all his money long ago and bought land to donate to the ancestral field. They are too bullying, and they only select orphans and widows." My mother is bullying me, but I am a relative, so it is not easy to deal with it. I am afraid that I will cause a big disaster in the future and harm my children and grandchildren, so I beg you to help me..."

Uncle Li bowed deeply again, with a respectful attitude.

The county magistrate received Xiuniang's guarantee and was very satisfied. Her eldest brother was a good person among people. He had reached the fourth rank of official on his own. He was a good figure and was highly regarded by the highest officials in the court. He had been named and praised by the emperor several times. He was considered a confidant of the emperor, and not everyone could win over him. Even if other members of the Zhou family supported him, it was a good thing that he could only ask for.

"I understand, this is really bad. I can just handle it for you. You can go back and wait for the letter."

"Thank you so much, Lord Qingtian."

Uncle Li came out with many thanks.

The Wang family's father and son, his wife, and his uncle's wife were all left behind.

The county magistrate has his own way of handling cases. He interrogates first and beats you with a stick if you are not convinced. This is reasonable and reasonable. If you come to complain, you will also be beaten.

There are particularities in whether a person is hit with a stick, whether he is dead or alive. A wet stick means that the person is hit to the point of death. All the muscles and bones will be broken, and a person will die in less than three days.

A dry stick is just a beating. If you get some flesh injuries, you can go back and nurse them back to health. They won't die, and their bones won't be injured.

This is a craft. Every yamen has such a person in charge. How to fight depends on the instructions of the county magistrate. You will never make a mistake.

After this killing blow, the two women were beaten so hard that they could only breathe out but not in. At first, they could scream and scream like lungs, but in the end, their voices were gone and they were as soft as noodles.

The father and son of the Wang family were so frightened that their legs became weak and they forgot to cry.

The father and son were also beaten, but they could still cry out, turn over, and move. It was obvious that they were thrown into the jail because of nothing serious.

Whether he should die or not, he should be detained for three days to teach him a lesson. After three days, Wang's sister-in-law and her elder sister-in-law would be dying.

No one in the prison will give you medicine, just wait.

I started crying when the village chief, the mother-in-law and the man came to carry the person. The person was beaten terribly, his complexion was sallow, his eyes were tightly closed and he was still breathing weakly, without even a groan.

After returning home, my mother-in-law and Sister-in-law Wang kicked off their legs one after another. They died within seven days of each other.

The Wang family father and son have been reported to have a military epidemic. They will leave at the beginning of next month. It doesn't matter if you don't want to go. If you don't want to go, other people from Wangjia Village will go. It's okay to see who is willing to go for you.

Are you kidding me? Military service is a near-death experience. Nine out of ten will never come back. Who would let their own son go for you? Even if his head is swollen.

At this time, the Wang family had a thorough understanding of Xiu Niang's power, so they killed their sister-in-law.

And that woman was Sister-in-law Wang's sister-in-law. She wanted money and things to go to her parents' house. Sister-in-law Wang's parents' family was really poor.

It's fine this time. The mother-in-law is dead and the man is dumbfounded. How can he dare to go to Lijiacun to cause trouble unless he doesn't want to die.

This time Xiuniang made the people of Wangjia Village remember her name so much that they never dared to offend the people of Lijia Village again.

Lijiacun got the news, and someone from the Wang family came to report the funeral.

The sister-in-law was shocked but not surprised when she heard the news. She was a little stunned for a moment, and her arms trembled slightly.

"My sister-in-law is dead."

"Where are my eldest brother and nephew."

"I just received a beating and am recuperating at home. I will start my military service at the end of the month. I will find someone to share the land with. Your elder brother said that all the profits from the land will go back to the family to help the elderly and the weak." The village chief explained truthfully.

This beating woke up the Wang family and his son. The land where they were going to serve in the military would be left unattended. So they followed Xiu Niang's example and gave a few acres of their land to the village chief to find someone to work on it. All the proceeds went to the family. , help the widow, the old and the weak, so that the son can return to the village in the future, at least leave a way for the son.

"He can be considered a man of clarity. I agree with this."

"Good boy, I have wronged you all these years. Live a good life in the Li family. Don't worry about your elder brother anymore. He will drag you to death. Don't blame your younger siblings. Your younger siblings are decisive and decisive women. There is such a thing My sister-in-law is willing to protect you because your father has a spirit in heaven to protect you. People should distinguish between good and good."

The village chief and her father are of the same generation, and they know that his father is a good man, but it is a pity that he did not raise a good son.

The sister-in-law couldn't help crying, took the purse and handed it to the village chief.

"Uncle, please help me buy a coffin for my sister-in-law and let her be buried in Wangjia Village."

"Hey, I'll take care of it."

The village chief wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but hesitated.

"Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its owner. I know what my siblings are like. She will not implicate Wangjiacun. She will only target my sister-in-law and the two of them. As long as Wangjiacun doesn't take advantage of the Li family or do anything in the name of the Li family, my siblings will not To harm innocent people.”

Although my sister-in-law doesn't know many words, she is very smart and has a bottom line in her heart. She knows that this matter is not the fault of her siblings.

Without the younger siblings to take action, the elder sister-in-law would have to pay the price sooner or later. She is too capable of causing trouble, has no scruples, and behaves recklessly. She is destined to suffer when she encounters a tough opponent.

Now her brother and nephew are considered lucky to have survived, and she is selfish, she has had enough.

For the first time, she had a clear understanding of her siblings' methods and temper.

The people in Lijiacun were also shocked when they heard the news.

Everyone is talking about Xiuniang in private, and several members of the uncle's family are also talking about her.

"Dad, are both the Wang family's wives really dead?"

The eldest son of the grandfather was a little shocked. He couldn't believe it but he understood that it was true. He seemed to not recognize Xiu Niang anymore.

The grandfather was sitting in the rocking chair and rocking, his eyes closed and his voice was steady.

"Xiu Niang was taught by the nuns in the palace from the age of five. You think she is easy to bully. Other widows are easy to bully, but she can easily kill you."

"My dear, Xiu Niang is killing someone with a borrowed knife."

"Almost, she doesn't need to come forward in person. There are people who do things for her. She just needs to straighten out the relationship and give enough benefits to sleep peacefully. The energy of the Zhou family is not small. Xiu Niang has real talent and hard work, and understands things that we don't understand. , we couldn’t enter the yamen gate and see the county magistrate, but the village chief took her letter and asked the county magistrate to support the Li family. This is the difference."

"Then what does she need to exchange for? It's impossible for her to work for you for free, not to mention it's the county magistrate."

The second child also chimed in with a complicated expression.

"That is something that you cannot have access to. It is an exchange of resources by the official family, just like I gave Yingzi to Xiu Niang. Why, it is not for the apprenticeship fee, but for my son to be recognized and protected by the Li family. "

"Xiu Niang uses exchanges between officials. Those things are good for the county magistrate and helpful for his promotion. They are things that we can't touch."

"I see, my Third Grandpa has a really vicious vision. Marrying Xiu Niang is like marrying a lucky star. As long as your children and grandchildren are famous and promising, they will not worry about their official careers."

"Yes, your third grandfather was also a figure when he was young. He was shrewd and never took the wrong path throughout his life. This scheming and forbearance will be enough for you to learn from him for a lifetime."

The uncle chuckled lightly and said it was right to give them a heads up. They would have thought that orphans and widows are easy to bully. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

That Ancestral Field is not given to you for free, you have to pay something.
