Chapter 50 Disposal (third shift)
Xiejiazhuang became lively again because of the return of all the clansmen.

Especially when they heard that Hu San was instigated by a maid from Dong Song's family in the county town, everyone felt baffled.

These are not next to each other!

Xie Lao San was not a kind person, he deliberately concealed his words, and only said that the maid was Mei Lan, and she was Miss Song's personal maid.

And he also emphasized again and again that Hu San believed that he had taken the benefit of Mei Lan's 20 taels of silver, so he took the risk and wanted to ruin the second sister-in-law's reputation.

Many of Xie's family members were shocked.

20 taels of silver!

This is not twenty copper coins, it is enough for a family of three to chew for more than ten years!
"Isn't that possible? A maid is only worth three or four hundred taels a month. Even if she's a favored maid, she's only worth six or seven hundred taels. Where did she get the 20 taels of silver?"

"Yes, a girl may not be able to save enough even if she saves for a lifetime!"

For a small county like Gaoyang County, an income of a few hundred coins a month is already pretty good.

Most of them have never been out of the county, or even the town. How would they know that the maids of real powerful families can have two taels of silver a month?

Therefore, from their point of view, these 20 taels of silver are simply unthinkable.

Xie Laosan said this on purpose, and what he said was true. Mei Lan himself admitted that he just paid ten taels first, and then paid ten taels later.

Xie Laosan thought about the 30 taels of silver in his bosom, and said again: "The magistrate of the county is wise and powerful, and he exposed Hu San's lies in a few words, and that Mei Lan was taken to the court, and he was trying to ruin me. Second sister-in-law's reputation was also exposed in court. The county magistrate not only sentenced them to board, but also imprisoned them, and asked them to compensate my second sister-in-law 30 taels of silver."

Widow Wang heard: "30 taels?"

"Isn't it! Harming people is such a good job? How can I not pay the price? It was also my second sister-in-law's luck this time, and it happened that Guaibao picked up the money bag and went down the mountain early. What is it like?"

Widow Wang felt guilty when she heard it, she bowed her head embarrassingly and dared not speak any more.

An aunt on the side echoed: "That's right! This world is difficult, and our women's life is even more difficult. How important is a woman's reputation, a bastard like Hu San, he should be beheaded to serve the people Eliminate harm!"

That being said, of course the magistrate of the county will not be killed because of this matter.

What's more, this matter didn't work out. According to this, the county magistrate's sentence is quite heavy.

Xie Lao San deliberately yelled about the 30 taels of silver, but Xie Xiuran tried to stop him but couldn't stop him, so he could only resentfully think that he would sue him when he went back, and let his parents scold him well.

Xie Laosan invited the patriarch and village head to his home again, and he didn't avoid people when he talked.

"Grandpa, Uncle, the 30 taels of silver was handed over to me by Uncle Liu's family. It was awarded to my second sister-in-law. This money is hot for me to hold, but if I take it home..."

I didn't say anything later, but the two elders can naturally understand.

The 30 taels of silver might be robbed by that old woman.

"Let's go, anyway, we have been the master once, so this time is not bad."

"Yes, thank you patriarch, Grandpa."

The patriarch is an old man in his 70s, and he is willing to go again. Xie Lao San hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Because the case was closed, everyone in the Xie family also came out to hear the result.

Auntie Xie heard that Mei Lan was also arrested, and she was beaten and imprisoned, so she was very upset.

Although he failed to confess the mastermind, the big guys are not fools. Maybe Mei Lan is because of protecting the master, but Miss Song's reputation is considered bad. Even if Xie Xiuwen really divorces Liu Ruolan in the future, the Xie family will not Such a woman is allowed to enter the door.

Even as a concubine, it is impossible!
This time, Miss Song can be said to have lost her wife and lost her army.

The 20 taels of silver that Mei Lan wanted to compensate was naturally paid by the Song family. Just as the big guy expected, how could a maid save 20 taels of silver?
In the end, the patriarch made the decision and asked Xie Laosan to take out the money.

"Since it was awarded to Xiuwen's daughter-in-law by the county magistrate, the money should belong to her. This time, she is the one who suffers, and she was humiliated by you for no reason last night. You should be glad that there was Liu's family later. Come forward, otherwise, if Xiuwen's daughter-in-law is so angry and hanged in the house with a rope, what face does your family have to live in this world!"

Grandpa Xie's face turned red, he was ashamed!

If the truth was discovered after Mrs. Liu's death, then their parents-in-law would have become the executioners who forced their daughter-in-law to death, and they would indeed have no face to live on.

Thinking about what his old wife said last night, Grandpa Xie also made a quick decision.

"Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely be more careful in the future. The 30 taels of silver is what the second daughter-in-law should take, and it can be regarded as a shock to their mother and daughter."

Seeing that he was finally not confused, the patriarch nodded in satisfaction.

In front of the patriarch and the village head, Grandpa Xie also wanted to save his image.

"His mother Xiuran, you are really wrong this time. You shouldn't jump to conclusions without listening to your daughter-in-law's self-defense. You are an elder, and I will give you some face. It's just that you will be banned for a month from today. You are not allowed to go. Besides, I remember that there are still a few bolts of muslin cloth in the storeroom, and I will ask the second daughter-in-law to go and pick two, and whichever she picks will be the one she chooses, and you must not stop her."

Auntie Xie was naturally reluctant, the fine cotton cloth was not easy to come by, it was expensive, she originally wanted to make two long gowns for her eldest son and grandson, but now the second room will give them to her, how could she not feel distressed?

But the matter had already happened, and she had indeed made a mistake in front of all the clansmen, so she dared not have the slightest objection.

Grandpa Xie looked at Xie Xiuran and his wife again: "Mr. Gao, you shouldn't be talking nonsense last night. You must know that vicious words hurt people in June. As the eldest sister-in-law, how can you be so indiscriminate! I will punish you Come down and do housework for a month, and besides, if you make an apology to the second daughter-in-law, you must ask her to forgive you."

Gao's heart is bitter, this matter is clearly the mother-in-law's decision, she just beat the side drums, this is too harsh a punishment, right?

"Yes, Father, my daughter-in-law has made a note."

Xie Xiuran didn't end up well either. Although he didn't say a word last night, he didn't take care of the wife in his room. This was a big mistake.

Therefore, Xie Xiuran was fined one month's money.

This is actually not painful or itchy, but in front of the patriarch, it can be regarded as showing his attitude, at least it will not be said that he favors the eldest wife and treats the second wife harshly.

The patriarch and the village head were really satisfied, they left one after another, and Grandma Xie started acting like a demon again.
