sister-in-law

Chapter 76
Luo Shi was proud of herself, seeing that with Wang Wenru's testimony, she would be able to occupy the property, but unexpectedly her son ran out and made a mess.

She didn't know how angry she was, the flames in her peach blossom eyes almost burst out of her sockets, and she glared at Gu Mo fiercely, "Little bastard, I've never seen someone who eats inside and out like this. How much has she benefited you like this little bitch?" , let you slander your mother like this? Huh? What do you mean?"

In front of his son, Luo Shi didn't care about pretending to be pure and virtuous, and cursed loudly. If it wasn't for this county government office, those claws would have stretched out again.

"Mother, can't you see?" Gu Mo ignored her words, and said coldly, "The clothes worn by the son, the clothes worn by the younger brothers and sisters, and the food eaten by the whole family, which one was not given by the sister-in-law? Mother left us all alone. It's been three months since my son left, did you manage our lives? Did you manage our clothes and food? My mother is used to picking things up, and she just wants to make this family unhappy, doesn't she? She just doesn't want to make my sister-in-law feel better?"

He was motivated by his studies, and what he said was even more reasonable, and every word was choking.

Luo Shi blushed, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

She was about to be pissed off by her son, and finally found a witness to testify, but her son suddenly broke away.

"Okay, boy, you wait!"

Luo Shi nodded at Gu Mo with hatred, turned his head and took two steps on his knees, kowtowed to the county magistrate, pointed at Su Ruoli, and smiled sullenly: "Master Qingtian, this little girl!" Hoof relied on her beauty to seduce the elder son of the woman who would rather join the army because of her. The second son was also bewildered by her and looked lost. The elder made the decision for the woman and drove this vicious woman out Bar?"

This is an era where filial piety is advocated, Su Ruoli wonders if Gu Mo's actions will affect his future future?After all, scholars still value benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.

In the lobby, there was a moment of silence, as if not knowing how to continue.

Wang Wenru's mouse eyes rolled around, his brows were already beaming with joy, and he kowtowed to the county magistrate, and he arranged, "This Erlang of the Gu family actually gave false testimony to his sister-in-law, and he didn't even care about his mother's life or death. Could it be ..." He deliberately pulled out his voice, deliberately wanting Su Ruoli to take the bait.

With a smile on the corner of Su Ruoli's mouth, he asked him with a half-smile: "Could it be what?"

Only then did Wang Wenru pretend to clear his throat, and smiled, "Everyone in our Gujia Village knows that you are not serious, and this Gujia Erlang was also seduced by you. You goblin, why don't you hurry up and put your hands down so that the people of Gujia Village Find a good wife, lads!"

When Gu Mo heard this, he stabbed Wang Wenru with a knife in hatred, while angrily defending his sister-in-law, "My lord, you can't believe this. Caomin's sister-in-law is the most kind-hearted and gentle. People. Our brothers and sisters can all prove it.”

"Uncle, the padded jacket I'm wearing here is made by my sister-in-law, isn't it beautiful?" Gu Xueniang observed her words, followed her quickly, and even winked at Li Fu'an.

Li Fu'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it was really funny to see that child's strange appearance.

Gu Xuan quickly tore off his cotton-padded jacket, and said childishly, "Mine was also made by my sister-in-law!"

"Okay, one or two of you are framing me, don't you recognize me as your own mother?" Luo Shi had a sad face, as if he had been wronged, and he covered his face and burst into tears.

Seeing that Wang Wenru was about to fall short, he intensified his lies, "My lord, this woman is not a good person. Keeping her in Gu's Village will not insult the folk customs of our village. Even if there is no such thing, the little one I'm also planning to sue the yamen for driving this woman out of the village."

He looked remorseful, and said it as if it was a certainty.

Gu Mo was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he was so anxious to argue with him: "You, you spout blood! My sister-in-law is not the kind of person you said, you are a false accusation!"

He is a mountain village boy who has no experience, how can he be such an old and cunning person like Wang Wenru?As he spoke, he became speechless with anger.

Everyone was blushing, only Su Ruoli watched from the sidelines, with a sneer on his lips, as if seeing such a lively quarrel for the first time!
Li Fu'an's eyes darkened a few layers, he looked at this thin little girl calmly, and slowly got a measure in his heart.

While they were in a stalemate, there was a crackling sound from outside, and a yamen servant hurried in and said loudly: "Master, there are a group of women from the Gu family village outside, who say they are here to testify."

A woman from Gu Family Village?

The people in the hall heard it clearly, Wang Wenru rolled his eyes, his face was full of joy, he is the head of the Gu family village, and everyone is afraid of him on weekdays, could it be that they all came to curry favor with him now?

It must be so!
He turned his head and looked out in a big way, and saw that the one who came in first was Osmanthus osmanthus, who was still holding the child in her arms, followed by several women in their 40s and [-]s, some with children, and some coming alone of.

As soon as these people came in, they knelt all over the ground, kowtowed their heads in disorder, and a few people pushed each other and dared not speak.

Wang Wenru sneered, these women really have never seen the world, so they dare not even say a word when they come to testify.

Gu Zhang was so anxious that his face turned blue and red. Who are these people testifying for?What if the rogue sister-in-law is like Wang Wenru?

In the end, the group of people finally pushed Sister-in-Law Osmanthus out. It was the first time she had seen such a battle, her face flushed, she walked a few steps with the child on her knees, and kowtowed to the magistrate a few times.

Just now he stammered like a gnat, "Master Qingtian, the woman is from the Gu family village, so she is a neighbor to the defendant and plaintiff in the hall..."

After stammering a word, sister-in-law Osmanthus felt her tongue stuck and didn't know how to continue.

Li Fu'an didn't urge her, he didn't have the adjutant airs he put on earlier, his calm and peaceful demeanor reassured Sister-in-law Osmanthus a lot.

She took a breath, glanced back, and saw that Su Ruoli was also looking at her, the two collided, and Sister Osmanthus pursed her lips at her.

"My lord, the woman's son has a strange disease, and it was cured by the young lady of the Gu family. Her mother-in-law doesn't know how to cherish such a good person. Since she came in, she has been looking for trouble, but she has never seen this little lady. I argued with her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law left her paralyzed husband and young child at home, and she didn't know where she went."

Sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans spoke more and more fluently, and her eyes were fixed on the ground, "The little lady of the Gu family is capable and kind, and she quickly built a tile-roofed house and moved the whole family in. We, as neighbors, can see in the eyes."

Luo Shi didn't know well when he heard this, his heart was beating wildly with fright, he wished he could jump up and tear Aunt Osmanthus's terrible mouth open.

Wang Wenru's expression was also very annoyed, he thought that these women were here to flatter him, but he didn't expect that they came to testify for this yellow-haired girl?

Seeing that the meat from his mouth was about to fly away again, he and Luo Shi glanced at each other quietly, and immediately scolded Sister-in-law Osmanthus, "You are a widow, what do you do when you have nothing to do? You come to the yamen to talk nonsense?"

His voice is loud enough, his complexion is dark enough, he really hoped to scare off Mrs. Osmanthus.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus was also really frightened. On weekdays, Wang Wenru was a bully in the village, and she, a widow, dared not go against him.

The body trembling while holding the child, the sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans chattered her teeth, she just felt that she couldn't speak anymore.

With a "snap", there was a sharp sound from the gavel in the hall, Li Fuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his clear voice became thick and deep, but the words he said were powerful, revealing a majesty that frightened the soul, " Brave lunatic, dare to shout at the court, thinking that you are a first-time offender, I don't care about you, if it happens again, I will definitely not let you off!"

Wang Wenru was taken aback for a moment. In Gujia Village and even Qingquan Town, he could be regarded as a prominent person. The county magistrate is too...too disrespectful, right?

He smiled embarrassingly and made amends, "Thank you, my lord, for having a large number of people, and the little ones, I dare not do it again!" Aggrieved, he had to bow his head and kneel there, not daring to intervene again.

Su Ruoli frowned, and secretly glanced at the person in the hall. This guy seemed to be facing her?From the looks of it, isn't he a foolish official?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Fuan's clear voice came to his eardrums again, "The witness continues!"

"Yes!" Sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans, who was almost scared out of her wits, finally found her true soul, kowtowed, and continued eagerly, "The mother-in-law of the Gu family has been away for more than three months, and she hasn't even come back for the New Year. The big and the small ones in the family are all taken care of by the young lady of the Gu family. When she came back, she falsely claimed that the property belonged to her. The housewives really couldn't understand such an unreasonable person. They asked the old master to make the decision and return the young lady of the Gu family to be innocent. !"

She knelt there, hugged the child and kowtowed, and the other women chirped, "Yes, Mr. Gu, the little lady of the Gu family is the best person, not to mention saving our child, she will pay me nothing." How can such a person be wronged?"

In the hall, there were kowtow sounds one after another, beating on Su Ruoli's heart like a drum, her eyes gradually blurred.

Even though she lowered her head, she could still feel the enthusiasm and kindness of these people!
How can she, Su Ruoli, He De, be able to have so many people testify for her?
She trembled slightly with excitement, and finally couldn't help it, her nose sore, and a salty thing slid down her cheeks.

Li Fuan was also very moved, these villagers are really simple and kind, if people give him one point, they will give back ten points.

Although they don't know a single word and have never seen the world, their conscience is still pure and upright.
