Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 115 Dissatisfied
For Niu Er, the county government office is a place full of mystery and majesty.From time to time, he pinched the pleading paper he was carrying, and walked hesitantly on the street of the county government.

What frightened him the most was not the two disgraced stone lions, nor the yamen servant with a big knife at his waist, but the big drum that was said to be able to call out grievances.

Yanhong's words were earnest in her ears: "As long as you beat the big drum, someone will take you to see the Elder Lord, and then your grievances will be washed away, and you will get everything you want..."

Drums are not a rare thing, Niu'er is common even in the countryside, and even during festivals and important occasions, because of his strong body, he has personally played drums with drum sticks.The drums in the country are rougher than this, but the sound is as loud as thunder, shaking people's ears and hearts.

But this drum is different, because the meaning and essence of its existence are different.It makes people awe invisibly, and at the same time, to Niu'er, it also means a world of difference.

What he wants...is Su Manman, the beautiful, quiet, dexterous young woman from the past.What he wants is harmony between husband and wife, children traveling together, raising daughters, serving uncles and aunts, and burying them together when they die.

But now Sumanman is no longer the Sumanman he knew.She had been messing with that Chen Liuye for a long time, and she didn't know that the child belonged to her and that Chen Liuye.

Now that he found him, Manman couldn't wait to leave with him.

Even if he sued the county government, would Manman still live a poor life with him like before?

Niu'er doubts very much whether Manman would have married him if the situation had not forced her to do so.Uncle Chen's conspiracy, his own mother's push, his intentional or unintentional approach, the night-attack thieves, their family's kindness in saving Manman's life, his father's death... and finally, Manman's pregnancy.

My promise to her to "accept her and this child" is the last bet that makes Manman finally agree.

Yanhong said: "He ruined everything for you, why do you have to do nothing and suffer this kind of aggrieved? It's hard for you, and you won't make it easy for him..."

So he came to sue.

This approach is what is often said in the countryside.But Niu'er always felt that the fish that would die was not Chen Liuye, but himself.Chen Liuye is rich and powerful, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't retreat unscathed, but if he dies, it will be a huge loss to himself, to his mother, sister, and the entire Zhang family.

Is it worth it?

Niu Er thinks he is not a bloody man.The Zhang family is honest by nature, counting from the ancestors to him, everyone is not good at words, not good at calculating, will not take advantage of petty advantages, and will not please good-tempered people who are obedient.

It was the folks in the same village who bullied them because of trivial matters such as fruits and vegetables, crops in the field, and the width of the courtyard walls.

One of the most common sayings of my grandfather is "A loss is a blessing".

It's no big deal to suffer a small loss, and you will always find it later.

So Niu'er has never fought with anyone.

But now, let him go to the county government to file a complaint, his palms are full of Han Jinjin all the time, and his legs are trembling all the time, if it wasn't for Yanhong leaning on him, softly saying, "From now on, I will be You are a man, you have to look like a man, don't let me down", he will not come.

Niu'er had been wandering around the gate of the county government office since early in the morning, and the two gatekeepers looked at him expressionlessly.They had already seen through the countryman in coarse clothes that something was wrong, but they knew that he couldn't get out of the sky when they saw his cowardly appearance, so there was a little disdain on his expressionless face.

It wasn't until mid-afternoon that Niu'er finally stepped forward and tremblingly picked up the drumstick.

The two yamen servants still looked at him blankly, with a bit of annoyance: Are you knocking or not?

Niu'er was stared at by their white eyes, and the drumstick almost fell to the ground in fright. He simply closed his eyes and hit the big drum hard.Two yamen servants rushed over like wolves and tigers, one on each side held his shoulders: "Bold and unreasonable, there is nothing to beat the drums, what do you want to do?"

Niu'er was pressed down on the ground, suffocating the hanging neck, and only got more pressure, so he didn't dare to struggle any more, and hurriedly said: "The villain is here to complain, I beg the master Qingtian to make the decision for the villain!" -"

Niu'er was brought in without seeing the magistrate, so he was pushed on a bench and beat twenty killing sticks.He barked like a butcher, only to get ridiculed by the yamen servants.One of the older ones kindly said: "Stop yelling, this is the rule, the more you yell, the harder the beating."

Niu'er was puzzled.He came to sue, he was wronged, why beat him first indiscriminately.If he had known this earlier, he would not have come to complain.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world. After hitting twenty sticks, someone took him to a side room to wait for his release. Someone went to ask the county magistrate, and handed him a pleading paper. The master read it, and the county magistrate approved the signature. Then spread the word to everyone related to the case separately.

Three days later, the case officially opened for trial.

With a sound of "mighty", Wu Xinran, the county magistrate, dressed in official uniform, sat down on the grand teacher's chair in the middle accompanied by the master, and ordered Niu'er to come up.

Niu'er's stick is almost done.

To say that the beating was not severe, and his body was strong, the horrible food he ate at that time was mostly just scare.Seeing that the magistrate of the county was officially promoted to try the case, he felt a little bit of guarding his case, thinking, this time he should feel proud, right?If it is true that he is wronged, and the sixth master of the Chen family is brought to justice and thrown into prison, his killing blow is not in vain.

But when he saluted and secretly looked up, he saw that Chen Yunzheng, whom he sued, was sitting peacefully and peacefully at the head of the county magistrate, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

How is this going?Kneeling by himself, he didn't even dare to lift his head, how could he be so big and sit like no one else?And the county magistrate even laughed along with him, politely invited him to drink tea, told him what the tea was with a disgusted face, asked him how he was drinking, and how was the weather this year...

Shouldn't he be chained in by the yamen servants?

How come you are so close and friendly with the magistrate?Are they relatives?Or did the Chen family give the county magistrate a gift?If this is the case, can I sue myself?If they can't sue, how will they deal with themselves?You don't want to throw yourself into a big prison, do a coolie for a lifetime, and eat a lifetime of prison food, right?
What can I do then?He said that he has become a relative, but he doesn't even have a child, so the Zhang family is going to be extinct?What about my sister?She is not married yet?There is an elder brother who is in prison, who would dare to marry her?Didn't this ruin her life?What if there is another mother?She is her lifeblood, will she cry to death when she hears the news?Fortunately, it's okay, but when she is old, who will take care of her old man?
Cold sweat dripped down Niu'er's body, his face turned pale and his clothes were drenched in a short while.

Master Wu and Chen Yunzheng had finished exchanging pleasantries, and now the case was proceeding as a matter of routine.Although Niu'er was so frightened that he was paralyzed into mud, but fortunately there was a paper, it was easy for Mr. Wu to ask and he answered.

In a word, his wife, Su Manman, was forcibly robbed by the sixth master of the Chen family, and now there is no one alive, and no dead body, so I ask my lord to make a clear decision and ask the sixth master of the Chen family to return Su Manman.

The next step is to invite witnesses from all walks of life to testify.

Some folks from Xiangjiazhuang, as well as the Chen family, all testified that Niu'er was indeed married, but it was not Su Manman, but an unknown woman named Zhang Yanhong, who was said to be a girl from a brothel.

Chen Yunzheng even categorically denied that he had robbed Su Manman.

Niu'er was tongue-tied, his whole body was cold, and he felt that he was not in the same world as them.He obviously married Su Manman, why did everyone say that he married Zhang Yanhong?

When Zhang Yanhong came to court, she also changed her old tone, and only said that she redeemed herself by herself, three matchmakers and six hires, and she married into Zhang's family in a dignified way.

Niu'er was completely dumbfounded.

The next step is to check whether what Niu Er and Zhang Yanhong said is true. The name Su Manman is no longer mentioned, as if she does not exist at all.

When all the witnesses and material evidence were complete, Mr. Wu slapped the gavel and closed the case: "The troublemaker Zhang Niu'er, 21 years old, male, falsely accused Chen Yunzheng of robbing his wife and disturbing the court. The crime is unforgivable. He was beaten for 20 years. board, a fine of [-] taels of silver..."

A farce came to an abrupt end. Everyone had faint smiles on their faces, but they had different thoughts.What Mr. Wu thought was that fortunately he was not reckless and used this to blackmail the Chen family. This Chen Yunzheng was young but thoughtful. Although he knew it was a trap, but the trap was set up perfectly and there was no flaw.What if Chen Yunzheng will take the high school exam next year, and if he casually lets it out, he will be several levels higher than himself, the seventh-rank sesame official, can it be done if he doesn't hold it?
What Master Chen thought was: This damn boy is really obsessed with that woman Su Manman, but he is old enough to act neatly without leaving any traces. How about it.

Forget it, as long as he doesn't marry that woman, he can just turn a blind eye.

There is only one word in Chen Yun's heart: strong.

Chen Yunfang thought sourly: Xiao Liu'er is really lucky, no matter how unlucky things happen to him, he will die and become auspicious. Is there any reason?
Chen Yunzheng walked out of the county office with an appearance that he knew it would happen a long time ago.Niu'er angrily stared at him as he passed by with blood-red eyes, flowing like the wind, while he was as stupid as a pig.

Not reconciled, he ran a few steps to catch up with Chen Yunzheng, and blocked his way fiercely.

Chen Yun just looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Why, are you not convinced?"

"I don't accept it. You're talking nonsense. Don't think that you can escape if you have money. I, I will continue to sue."

"Whatever." Chen Yunzheng said with a nonchalant expression, "I never thought that this case would be so easy to close. In fact, I even prepared Su Manman's body..."

Niu'er was dumbfounded, and asked stammeringly, "What? Corpse, corpse?"

　The second one has been delivered, everyone is happy to read the article.
