The wife of a powerful minister?Don't worry, I'll take back my destiny first

Chapter 28 Don't Remember

Zhao's face soon became swollen, and she gently touched her painful face. She huddled in the corner of the room like a quail, not even daring to fart.

Ni Tiezhi smiled secretly when he saw her, stepped forward to support Mrs. Sun, and called out affectionately: "Mom, I'm tired of you. Come on, come on, find a chair for you to sit on."

Ye Xi quickly moved a chair for Mr. Sun.

Sun glanced sideways at Ye Xi, then at the chair, and scolded: "This chair was made by your grandfather when he was an apprentice. That is to say, you, a prodigal woman, gave such a good thing to someone who has nothing to do with it." people."

"Ms. Ye, I can tell you that if you dare to make any mistake today, I will break your legs."

Ye Xi was ashamed and could only nod in agreement.As stupid as she turned out to be, Ding Zhongwen was just as scumbag.It seems that no matter how the Ni family treats Ding Zhongwen today, it is not excessive.

Ni Tiezhi shouted to the crowd: "Uncle Li Zheng, Uncle Li Zheng, are you here?"

"Huh! It's coming, it's coming." Li Zheng stood up. He was an old man in his sixties, with a slightly stooped back and a pair of eyes that could see through the world.

Li Zheng's name is Ni Ruishan, he is Ni Tiezhi's cousin and the only official in the village for decades.He once served as a county magistrate, but when he was old, he resigned and returned to his hometown, where he became the mayor of Xinghua Village.

When Ni Tiezhi saw Ni Ruishan, a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Li Zheng, sit down! Sit here."

Ye Xi had already brought a chair and placed it at Ni Ruishan's feet.

Ni Ruishan glanced at Ye Xi lightly, then looked away, lifted his clothes, and sat down.

Ni Tiezhi waited for Ni Ruishan to sit down, and then said loudly: "Uncle, please give us a review. The Ding family borrowed something from my family, and they also have the receipts. How come it belongs to the Zhao family? Isn't it right for them to return it to my family?"

Ni Ruishan had been an official. When everyone had a quarrel or dispute, they would always seek justice from him.He has never disappointed anyone. He has always been a helper, not a relative, and is deeply respected by the villagers of Xinghua Village.

In the past two days, the incident between the Ni family's daughter-in-law, Ye Shi, and Ding Zhongwen had spread in the village, and Ni Ruishan also listened to a few words.

He heard that the Ni family came to the Ding family to collect debts, so he left his job and ran after them.With him here, at least it can be guaranteed that no life-threatening incident will happen.

When Ding Zhongwen and Mrs. Zhao saw Ni Ruishan coming, they both seemed a little more confident and their backs straightened up.

Mrs. Zhao struggled to squeeze out a few tears and cried: "Uncle Li Zheng, the Ni family is using their power to bully others and bully our orphans and widowed mothers. Look at my face - "

Li Zheng glanced at Zhao's pig-headed face, frowned and looked away.He looked at Mrs. Sun and shouted: "Sister-in-law Qi, it's not right for Mrs. Sun not to return the things, and it's not right for you to hit someone!"

Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Zhao and sneered: "Humph, if Mrs. Zhao hadn't made me upset by rolling around, I wouldn't have bothered to beat her."

When Ms. Zhao was about to speak, Ni Ruishan gave her a sideways look, which frightened Ms. Zhao into quickly shutting up.

Although Ni Ruishan had resigned and returned to his hometown for more than ten years, he still carried some official authority. His eyes like a torch swept across everyone, and finally fell on Zhao and Ding Zhongwen.

Ding Zhongwen felt as if he was being stared at by Ni Ruishan, so he quickly lowered his head and looked respectful.

Mrs. Zhao was so frightened that she hid behind Ding Zhongwen, not daring to get too close to Ni Ruishan.

Ni Ruishan looked solemn and said sternly: "Ding Zhongwen, Zhao family, since ancient times, killing people to pay for their lives and debts to pay back money are all things that are natural and right. I have heard a little bit about the affairs between your family and the Ni family in the past two days."

"Ding Zhongwen, since you admitted that you borrowed something from the Ni family, and now that Ni Ge needs money to treat his leg, just return the things to the Ni family. Is there any need to make such a fuss? It will ruin the reputation of our Xinghua Village if word spreads. broken!"

Ding Zhongwen lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "Grandpa Li Zheng, let's just settle it." Ni Ruishan nodded: "Well, this is the right attitude."

He turned to Ni Tiezhi and said, "Tie Zhi, take out the IOU and have a look."

"Uncle, here is the IOU." Ni Tiezhi handed over the IOU with both hands: "This is the IOU written by Zhongwen himself yesterday. He wrote clearly what he took from my house."

Ni Ruishan took the two IOUs and read them carefully.

The two IOUs are very new, and the handwriting is exactly the same. Wherever the handwriting is light, where the handwriting is heavy, and where the habitual upward strokes are made, they are exactly the same.

"Yeah." Ni Ruishan nodded and waved to Ding Zhongwen: "Ding Zhongwen, come here and take a look. Is this a document written by you?"

The moment Ding Zhongwen saw the written evidence, his heart skipped a beat.

In the situation like yesterday, in order to avoid being reprimanded, he had no choice but to distance himself from the Ye family.He said that he borrowed all the things Ye Xi gave him and wrote an IOU.

He deliberately found Ye Xi in the Ni family's firewood shed last night and told her that she must burn the IOU.Unexpectedly, the Ye family had clearly promised well, but now the documents fell into the hands of this old guy Ni Tiezhi.

Ding Zhongwen's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible resentment.

The same goes for Mr. Ye. She used to listen to his words more often, but this time she seemed to have a backbone and didn't take his words to heart at all.

Now, Li Zheng asked him to step forward to identify the authenticity of the documents. Would he dare to say that the documents were fake in front of so many people?
Ding Zhongwen does have this intention, but he doesn't have the courage.

If he dared not admit the IOU, so many people in the Ni family would definitely tear him up on the spot.

Ding Zhongwen looked aggrieved. A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years.

People named Ni, you all wait for me. When I become an official, you will be unlucky.

Li Zheng keenly felt Ding Zhongwen's hatred for the Ni family, and his original intention to help him say a few good words in front of the Ni family gave up.

"Look, is this the note you wrote?" Ni Ruishan held the IOU in his hand and did not let go. He was afraid that Ding Zhongwen would get the IOU and tear it up in front of so many people.

Ding Zhongwen looked at the IOU carefully. It was indeed the one he wrote yesterday, and nodded: "Well, I wrote this IOU."

Ni Ruishan pulled out the following IOU again: "You wrote this one too, right? I've already read it. The handwriting, signature, and fingerprints are exactly the same on both sheets."

Ding Zhongwen looked strange. He only wrote one IOU.

He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened suddenly, he took a closer look at the contents of the IOU, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

The IOU stated that today he asked Mr. Ye to help him pawn a Xuan Yue jade pendant and a plum blossom jade pendant.He also wrote that he would use the money from the pawn to buy medicine for Ni Ge's leg.

That handwriting and signature were obviously his own handwriting, but he didn't remember that he had written this IOU!
Ni Ruishan saw Ding Zhongwen's surprised look and asked, "Ding Zhongwen, didn't you write this?"

Ding Zhongwen shook his head: "Grandpa Li Zheng, if I say that I have never written such an IOU, would you believe it?"
