A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 157 What is Dirty?
The two women were shocked by her hysterical appearance, their complexion changed, and they were unable to reply.

Xia took a few breaths, and said: "Let me tell you, if it wasn't because I couldn't bear to leave my daughter behind, I should have entered the Palace of the King of Hades. Anyway, this life is earned by living an extra day, you When I am afraid of you? After I hear half a sentence, I will report to the officials. The slanderers each have thirty rods. Either shut up or be beaten to death!"

In the end, the two women left resentfully, probably because they had never seen the mild-tempered Xia family so crazy, and they were still a little apprehensive.

Xia slammed the courtyard door shut, feeling exhausted.

When she turned around, she saw Meng Yan was looking at her, she opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she began to cry.

The endless forbearance, pain, and closedness and repression, after she yelled at the two women, they all found a breakthrough at this moment and began to collapse.

Meng Yan came over and hugged her.

Xia Shi hugged Meng Yan tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and cried into tears on her shoulder.

While crying, Xia asked, "Ah Nam, is mother dirty?"

Meng Yan smiled with tears in her eyes, and said: "What is dirty? If the clothes are dirty, you can wash them clean, and if your body is dirty, you can also wash them clean, but it's hard to wash a person's heart. Mother has never been dirty, and mother's heart is better than anyone else's." clean."

Xia shi burst into tears in her arms.

Meng Yan said again: "The victim is not at fault. Those who should be punished are those villains and perpetrators. As long as a person lives cowardly, there will always be someone who will stand up to accuse you and talk about you, and they will not care about you." Whether they are scarred or not, they only know that these sharp words are very pleasant to say. But people don’t live for these people, people live to have no regrets, and never regret coming to this world.”

Meng Yan gently followed Xia's back, and said softly: "Mother can be so tenacious just because she can't let go of me, so why can't she be braver for the sake of her future self?"

Xia broke down in tears and said: "I regret... I regret that I am cowardly, I regret that I am powerless to resist, but I dare not even shout out because I am worried about other people's eyes! Ah Nan, I hate myself..."

Meng Yan said softly: "But Mother is doing really well today."

People change.Those deep-rooted thoughts that are used to restrain oneself and encourage others will also be slowly stripped away over time.

Meng Yan knew that the Xia family had always adhered to etiquette, benevolence, filial piety, and women's virtues, which is understandable, but from now on, she hoped that she would never wrong herself again.

She is very happy for such a Xia family.

In the end, Mrs. Xia cried silently in her arms, and Meng Yan saw that she had passed out from crying.

Meng Yan hurriedly carried Mrs. Xia into the house.These days the Xia clan forbade Meng Yan to touch her, but now she was able to feel her pulse, but she was very weak.

Meng Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of Xia Shi's eyes, and came out to make medicine for her.

She watched Yin Heng silently go to light the stove for decocting medicine, and thought, maybe this is the opportunity he mentioned.

The heart that has been tense for the past few days also got a little respite.

Xia fell ill, and the illness lasted for several days.

When she was in good spirits, she would occasionally listen to Meng Yan talk about what happened in the city these days.Only then did I know that the magistrate had been killed.

Xia coughed weakly twice, and said: "Although I don't know who is doing harm to the people like this, but he did a good job. Otherwise, the dog official will come to deal with our grandma."

When he heard this, Yin Heng was sitting under the eaves outside the door, watching the soup boiling on the medicine stove with a calm expression.

The sun is shining brightly outside the eaves, and the cicadas on the trees are singing and resting in the wind.

Those town bullies and Xu Shenfang often come here, and although Meng Yan and Yin Heng don't leave the house, they are also very well informed.

Now the most heated discussion in the city is about the prefect.

The co-prefect Zuo Chengjin reported the case, and the higher-ups wanted to appoint a new prefect to take over the case.So Zuo Chengjin got the appointment order and became the new magistrate.

When he was dealing with the case of the former prefect, he didn't want to collect a lot of evidence of the former prefect's corruption, bribery and pocketing.

The common people felt that the former prefect died well, and they supported the new prefect to thoroughly investigate the matter and find out all those who were in the same rank as the former prefect.

These days, people no longer pay attention to who the murderer who assassinated the prefect was and whether he was caught. People are more concerned about how much money the corrupt official prefect has embezzled and how much he has done to the common people.

It is even rumored in the market that shooting the former magistrate's hero is to eliminate violence and peace for the people and eliminate harm for the people.

Zuo Chengjin took care of all the people who were very close to the former magistrate in the past.The Second Master Xu and the Third Master Xu usually have some walks with the government, but this time they were also greatly affected.

Among them, Xu Mingyou was the one who suffered the most.

The magistrate died once, which he never thought about.As soon as Zuo Chengjin came to power, he unsealed the shop of Ah Nan Ji, but half of the shop under Xu Mingyou's name was closed overnight because it was suspected of being related to the former magistrate.

Those who are merchants can only survive if they have a good relationship with the government, but now Xu Mingyou's backer has fallen, and Xu Shenfang has already seized the opportunity and joined Zuo Chengjin.

It was only then that Xu Mingyou realized that when he was trying to destroy everything Xu Shenfang cared about, Xu Shenfang was pulling from the bottom of the pot to destroy the backstage that he had painstakingly managed.

No wonder Xu Chenfang was so insolent.

It's just that when Xu Shenfang and Zuo Chengjin joined forces, Xu Mingyou didn't know anything before that.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that when Zuo Chengjin let Ah Nan's Pharmacy continue to operate, he was already troubled.

But both Xu Mingyou and the prefect at that time were too careless.

The former magistrate thought that as long as Zuo Chengjin's path was cut off, Zuo Chengjin would always be under him.Even if Zuo Chengjin wanted to manage the officialdom, he didn't have the capital in his hands.

But Xu Shenfang sent the capital to him.Under the current conditions, everyone wants to climb up.

Now that the former magistrate died, of course Zuo Chengjin and Xu Shenfang would benefit the most.How could the murderer come to fruition with Zuo Chengjin? What he wanted to investigate was the old account left by the former magistrate and re-establish his own power.

When Zuo Chengjin brought someone to Xu's house to look for Xu Mingyou, Xu Mingyou was waiting in the study.

When Zuo Chengjin came in, he saw Xu Mingyou sitting on the clean ground with a brazier in front of him, and he was throwing the torn pages of the booklets into the brazier and burning them.

The flames reflected his usually gloomy face.The light ash in the basin floated up a little.

When Zuo Chengjin came, he was basically burned out, only one or two pages of paper were left in his hand, and he threw it into the basin and was instantly caught in flames.
