She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 52: Going to the County Government to File a Complaint and Encountering Qin Yiran
When Matchmaker Hu saw that something was not right, she also ran out of the house in shame.

"Mom, Widow Luo doesn't agree." Liu Jiang looked around and said in a low voice.

They were standing in the yard of Widow Luo's house, being pointed at and talked about by several women who were watching the fun in the yard.

Liu Jiang was so ashamed that she wanted to hide in a hole in the ground.

She said that she couldn’t come to Widow Luo’s house. Look, she was kicked out.

The villagers saw it and who knows how they will humiliate the Liu family in the future.

Widow Luo has always been aloof. Now that her son is about to become a scholar, how could she look down on the girls in the village?
I’m afraid the wealthy family in the village would not look down on her and would probably fall for a girl from a family in the county town.

Madam Liu never expected that Widow Luo would kick her out of the house without saying a word to her.

"What's so great about that? Humph! My daughter will marry a juren in the future! What's so great about a scholar? He might not even pass the exam!" Madam Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and shouted loudly towards Widow Luo in the main house with her hands on her hips.

Widow Luo heard it, rolled her eyes and ignored it.

The marriage did not go through, and after leaving Widow Luo's house, Madam Liu asked Widow Hu for a matchmaker's gift.

"It's not that I said it was bad, it's that widow Luo is too snobbish. She's from the Liu family, and even if the matchmaking failed, the love is still there, so why would she ask for it back?" Matchmaker Hu covered the purse with her hands, refusing to return it.

But who is Madam Liu?

Someone who never wants to suffer loss.

Besides, she has her eldest wife with her.

Madam Liu called upon Liu Jiangshi to rush forward and grab the money together. In no time, they snatched back the matchmaker's gift money that was given to matchmaker Hu.

"Hmph, you're trying to snatch the gift back after I gave it to you. No one wants your daughter! Just wait to die of old age at home." Matchmaker Hu was unable to defeat the two of them, so she walked away cursing in anger.

Madam Liu and Liu Jiang returned home.

When Liu Lizheng asked about the result, Mrs. Liu said angrily, "They look down on girls from our village and want to marry a rich girl from the county town!"

Liu Lizheng sneered, "What a boast! I'll see which rich girl in the county is willing to marry her! She just passed the exam to become a scholar, not a juren!"

-

Madam Liu is arrogant and never takes other people in the village seriously except Mr. Huang, a rich man.

But now, he was driven away by Widow Luo.

Madam Liu didn't dare to say a word, which made the villagers look at Widow Luo with even greater respect.

Widow Luo became even more proud.

After choosing among several matchmakers, he finally chose the daughter of Mr. Huang's relative.

The girl was 22 years old. According to the matchmaker, except that she was a little fatter, she was more beautiful than Liu Yingyue and could also weave and embroider. Her family opened a grain and oil shop in the village market street.

Widow Luo thought to herself that although she was a little older, her conditions were better than Liu Yingyue's.

She agreed readily.

Huang's relatives were urging the couple to arrange the marriage as soon as possible.

Therefore, before Luo Si'an returned from the county town, Huang's relatives, under the arrangement of Mr. Huang, matched the horoscopes of the two families' children and arranged a marriage. They also said that the children of both families were not young anymore and it would be better for them to get married earlier.

Widow Luo wanted to annoy the Liu family, so she set the wedding date on the 522nd.

Huang's relatives had no objection.

As for the betrothal money, with Mr. Huang as the guarantor, Widow Luo did not have to pay any betrothal money. Instead, Huang's relatives would bring eight taels of silver as a dowry, and the wedding banquet and dresses would also be paid for by the Huang family.

Widow Luo was overjoyed.

The news of his son's marriage was immediately spread.

For a while, those in the village who had sons were extremely envious, and those who had daughters were all jealous of the Huang family's relatives.

Qin Xiuzhu was surprised when she heard about this. Madam Qin said to her with a sullen face, "Look, Widow Luo's son is also getting married. How could Yingyue associate with him? Stop talking nonsense."

"So what? Widow Luo's son is a scholar, and the girls in the village all secretly admire him." Qin Xiuzhu rolled her eyes.

Madam Qin's eyes widened, "You're not envious, are you?"

Qin Xiuzhu was shocked and said angrily, "How is that possible? I don't like nerdy people."

Looking at her expression, it didn't seem like she was lying, so Madam Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, your brother will take care of Yingyue's affairs, so just stop interfering in their business." Madam Qin said again.

Qin Xiuzhu just nodded, but she was still not convinced.

Her brother's affairs are her affairs, and she must take care of them.

-

Liu Yingyue, along with Tian San and Tian Zhuang, traveled from early morning until dusk and finally arrived at the county government gate.

"Tian Zhuang, beat the drum!" Liu Yingyue stared at the drum, shook the petition paper, and said with squinted eyes.

Tian Zhuang scratched his head, "Madam Ying, can we win the lawsuit?"

"I've got to sue even if I can't win!" Liu Yingyue sneered.

Tian Zhuang's worries are not without reason.

In this era, the management of complaints is strict.

The woman was not allowed to sue alone, so she brought Tian Zhuang and Tian San with her.

Common people are not allowed to sue people who have achieved honors. Luo Si'an is a student, a pupil of the county magistrate. As a commoner, she has little chance of winning if she sues Luo Si'an.

Even if you can’t win, you have to sue!
She couldn't allow Luo Si'an to harass her again and again and ruin her life in the future.

Now, the Liu family wants to marry Liu Huaiyue to Luo Sian. Wouldn’t this only encourage Luo Sian’s arrogance?
Tian Zhuang didn't dare to disobey Liu Yingyue's words, so he had to beat the drum to complain again.

After a while, two bailiffs came out from the yamen lobby.

"Who is beating the drum?" A big yamen runner stared at Liu Yingyue and the other two and asked sternly.

Tian Zhuang was so scared that he immediately shrank his neck and pointed at Liu Yingyue, "It was this lady who wanted me to beat the drum, officer, ask her."

"A woman is filing a complaint? Is she accompanied by her father or brother? Is she accompanied by her sons or nephews? Is she accompanied by her husband? If not, we will not handle the case!" said the big bailiff.

Another older yamen runner drew out his sword and drove away Liu Yingyue, Tian Santian and Zhuang.

"She has a fiancé, can we sue her?" A voice suddenly said behind Liu Yingyue.

Willow Warbler Moon looked back.

She saw Qin Yiran sitting on an ox cart, looking at her with a stern expression.

"Brother, we didn't want to come. It was Madam Ying who insisted that we accompany her to the county town." Tian Zhuang and Tian San immediately stepped forward and explained to Qin Yiran.

"Yes, I asked them to come with me. Don't blame them. Come to me if you have anything to say." Liu Yingyue nodded at Qin Yiran and admitted it generously.

Qin Yiran's eyes narrowed and he looked at Liu Yingyue.

She actually admitted her mistake!

She never admitted her mistakes before and would rather die than admit her mistakes!
What was the reason that made her become completely different from before?

Qin Yiran patted the ox's back and drove the ox cart over.

He stepped down from the oxcart again, leaning on his cane, and nodded to the two yamen runners, saying, "I am this lady's fiancé, my name is Qin Yiran, and we are both from Yangliu Village, Jinshan Township, this county. Can she file a complaint now?"

Liu Yingyue looked at Qin Yiran in surprise, "Why are you in the county town?"
