Chapter 74
Back then, Lin Xiucai from Qingquan Township was sued because someone wrote a pleading that he was disobedient and unfilial, and the next day the officials came and took him to the county jail, even his life was ruined.Now that she learned that Luo Baisu was locked in the Yamen again for the same reason, she was about to collapse.

Disobedient and unfilial?As soon as Luo Tian heard the crime, he knew who did the good deed.As early as when the Shi family brothers told her that someone was rumoring that Luo Baisu was unfilial, she was mentally prepared, but she still had a little luck, thinking that Yao shi would be concerned about Luo Baihan's future, at most she just talked about it and said nothing about it. It was all a breath, but she never expected that Yao shi did not live up to her expectations at all, and actually sued Luo Baisu to the county.

She saw that Fang was still limp on the ground, looking helpless, and she couldn't care less about comforting her, she frowned and said firmly: "Mother, something happened to Dad, and he doesn't know what's going on, so he can only rely on us." , you have to cheer up a little, so that you can find a way to rescue dad."

Fang didn't seem to hear her words, his eyes were empty, and he kept repeating in his mouth: "Lin Xiucai is dead, and your father can't come back either, he can't come back."

Luo Tian saw that she seemed to be dazed, rushed up, raised his hand, and hit Fang's face with a loud "slap".

Changhui's father's eyeballs were about to pop out. He had never seen a girl who dared to beat her own mother in half of his life. This little girl from Luo Xiucai's family looked very filial on weekdays.He thought of his own Changhui who had been studying with Luo Tiandu for a few days, so he suddenly became worried.

Fang Shi was woken up by this slap, and immediately burst into tears: "She is really trying to force us to death! What does our family owe her? She wants to hurt us like this!"

Luo Tian was anxious and interrupted her impatiently: "Mother, don't cry, let's go home first, we must find a way to rescue dad."

She really hates people who only know how to cry helplessly. What's the use of crying?Can you still make people cry?

Fang seems to have listened to her words, wiped away tears, pushed the car and walked back.

When they got home, Luo Mingdu squatted under the eaves and wiped his tears, while Changhui Niang was comforting her softly.Luo Mingdu's most important task every day is to take good care of the little scalper, so he didn't go to the town with him. Luo Tiandu saw that she was fine, so he was a little relieved.

Changhui Niang also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luo Tiandu and Fang's coming in, and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, you can be considered to be back."

When Luo Mingdu saw Fang Shi coming back, he immediately stood up and threw himself into Fang Shi's arms, crying out of breath, "Mother, it's grandma—grandma sued my father for being arrested by the officials." gone."

Fang pushed her away with a dull expression, rushed into the stove shed, touched the kitchen knife and asked Luo Mingdu, "Tell me, where is your grandma?" The door of the main room was locked tightly. It was obvious that Yao shi was not at home.

Luo Ming was terrified by Fang's ferocious appearance, he shook his head after a long time and said, "I don't know, grandma went out early in the morning."

Fang Shi turned around and walked out of the yard, Luo Tian was so frightened that she hurriedly called to her: "Mother, what are you going to do?"

"What to do? Since she wants to force our family to death, I will go all out. She won't let me live, and I won't let her live. We all die together." Fang gritted her teeth and said angrily.

Luo Tian felt his head ache from hearing this, Fang's cockiness was rare, but he picked the wrong time.

She stopped Fang, and said sharply: "Don't be confused, Dad was imprisoned for this crime, and now you are going to find her desperately, don't you tell others clearly that Dad is unfilial and rebellious? Are you thinking Are you going to kill your father?"

Changhui Niang also came over to help and persuade: "Sister-in-law Wu, Xiaodu is right, you can't be confused at this time, Brother Wu is still counting on you to find a way to save him in the county, if you really fight her It's dead, don't say that Fifth Brother can't be rescued, and there is no one to take care of the two children."

No matter what she said, she persuaded Fang Shi, and Changhui Niang took the opportunity to take the knife from Fang Shi's hand.

Just as he was talking, old man Luo came back from outside.

Seeing that it was going to be "Qiu Wei", because the family had no money, old man Luo took a job to help people look after the melon shed, and he could earn a few pennies a day.In the end, within a few days of working, the incident of Luo Baisu happened, and he came back in a hurry.

Of course he also heard that it was Yao Shi who sued Luo Baisu, and he was so angry that he wished he could beat Yao Shi to death immediately.Back home, it turned out that the main room was guarded by an iron general, not to mention the Yao family, even Luo Baining was nowhere to be seen.The anger in his heart had no place to vent, he slammed the door a few times, but he was still not relieved, and kicked a few more times.

When he saw Mrs. Fang and the two little granddaughters in the courtyard, he finally calmed down. Thinking of the wicked things that Mrs. Yao had done, he said with a sullen face, "I heard that this was done by your mother. Don't worry, this I will definitely give Da Lang an explanation—”

Luo Tiandu interrupted him: "Grandpa, this is what Grandma did, and it has nothing to do with you. Now we should discuss how to get Dad back."

As for old man Luo's confession, she doesn't care at all now.If Luo Baisu died in the prison because of this matter like Lin Xiucai did, it would be meaningless for old man Luo to divorce Yao.

Regarding how to rescue Luo Baisu, the family discussed for a long time, and finally decided unanimously that no matter how Luo Baisu's matter was handled by the county this time, they had to go there first to get some information. As for who should go to the county, Old man Luo still wanted to let Luo Baihan go, at least he was a scholar with a reputation, so it would be easier for him to talk to officials.

Fang also calmed down at this moment, wiped away her tears, shook her head and said: "Second brother is working hard to prepare for the Juren examination, I don't dare to delay him, I'd better go."

Old man Luo said: "Da Lang has been arrested and taken to the yamen. Why does he take the exam? If he dares to be so heartless, I will beat him to death. Besides, you are a woman, even if you enter the yamen I can’t say anything, it’s better for him to go.”

Old man Luo was indeed kind, but Luo Tian couldn't believe Luo Baihan: "I'll go with mother."

Fang also said: "The old lady Tang I met last time is a kind person. Xiaodu and I will go to ask her, maybe it will be useful."

Luo Tiandu thought that they were able to enter the yamen last time because Tang Han led them there, and Qingmei picked them up at the door. Naturally, the officials of the county yamen did not dare to make things difficult, but this time it was Luo Baisu who was sent to prison However, Mrs. Fang hoped to rely on Mrs. Tang to intercede, fearing that she would not even be able to enter the gate of the house.But at this time, she absolutely must not pour cold water on Fang, for Luo Baisu, no matter if it works or not, it is always worth a try.

Seeing what they said, old man Luo no longer insisted on letting Luo Baihan go, and said: "Well, you go clean up, and I'll borrow Changhui's donkey cart and go with you." When he said clean up, he meant to Fang should prepare more money.

Fang wiped away her tears and went to the house to pack her belongings, but Luo Tiandu frowned.

This world emphasizes filial piety, unfilial piety is a very serious crime, especially if a mother sues her son, it will be cast aside by the world.She didn't know how the Yamen would try Luo Baisu's case, so she could only do her best to arrange it in advance.

Luo Baisu was the pillar of the family, in order to save him, the Fang family was willing to give up everything, and after a while, they took out the money they had saved for more than half a year.Fortunately, the money from selling vegetable oil had long been converted into silver, and the family only had a few pennies of copper coins earned from selling fried snacks later, which was convenient to carry, and could be carried away in a wooden box.

Fang took the money, and old man Luo also drove the donkey cart to the gate of the courtyard. Fang was asking for the donkey cart, but Luo Tiandu said, "Mother, wait a minute."

Fang stopped, turned to her and asked, "Did you forget to take something?"

Luo Tiandu shook his head and said, "Mother, before we go to the county, we need to find someone first."

Knowing that she had always had an idea, Fang said, "Who else do I need?"

The person Luo Tian wanted to find was none other than the eighty-year-old patriarch of Luojia Village.

Although the Luo Baisu brothers have all been selected as scholars and have a lot of face in the village, the old patriarch is the most authoritative one. Firstly, he is the oldest and the oldest among the existing old people in Luojia Village; secondly, , he has been teaching the young children in the village to be enlightened. Counting three generations from the old man Luo's generation, almost all the boys in the village have offered him tea and kowtowed. He has a teacher-student relationship. He speaks better than Li Zheng make.

Luo Tiandu's plan was to intercede with the old patriarch, hoping that when Luo Baisu's case went to court in the future, the old patriarch could say something nice in front of Magistrate Tang.

When Fang heard this, she also felt that it made sense, locked the money box, and told Luo Mingdu to keep an eye on the door, and the two of them followed Luo Tian to the old patriarch's house.

When Luo Tiandu arrived at the old patriarch's house, the old patriarch was resting in the hall. The old man was getting old, he didn't sleep much at night, and it was hot again. Zhang bamboo reclining chair, placed in the main room, at noon, the old patriarch can lie on it and squint for a while.

After Luo Tian explained the cause and effect clearly, the old patriarch even smashed his teacup and scolded angrily: "Dirty woman! She is really a tricky woman! Our Luo family has no virtue in our ancestors, and it is only in this generation that such a vicious woman came out." !"

He smashed the glass and still felt puzzled, and pointed at old man Luo and cursed: "You bastard, you can't even control a woman, let her make trouble at home, and now she is still letting her come to harm my family!" Da Lang. At the beginning, I did not agree to let her into our Luo family, but you insisted on marrying her, so what else do you have to say now?"

The old man Luo hung his head and said nothing, and the old patriarch scolded him.

Seeing his appearance, the old patriarch became furious: "You are useless, you have been fooled by an old woman so much that even your son was thrown into prison, can you be any more worthless? When will our Luo family leave you?" Useless things!"

Probably because he was so angry that he just finished speaking when he coughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
