Chapter 63

"Father, what are you talking about, the county magistrate will suppress this matter? Will he reduce taxes for the villagers?"

Li Zheng, who was about to greet the villagers to leave, stopped immediately when he heard these words.

Even the eyes of the villagers who came together lit up. If they could reach an agreement with the county magistrate through this matter, it would be a great joy for their village.

God knows how much food and money they have to hand over every year. Sometimes, in order to pay enough taxes, some families have reached the point of selling their sons and daughters.

But even so, life is tight.

If their taxes can be reduced, they can relax for a while.

Lan Shuqin was a little confused, when did he say that?Seeing Lizheng glanced at him appreciatively, Lan Shuqin still felt confused.

"Okay, let's all go back, and put that man under custody, big girl of the Lan family, I'll take this hairpin away first, don't worry, if you have a landlord, the child may be scared, so please calm down, If there is still this matter in the future, come over and tell me and the patriarchs, do you understand?
Zhixian, I'm sorry, I'm so forgiving, your youngest is a good and smart person, it's a pity that he didn't pass the exam! "

Li Zheng's words straightened the image of the Lan family in everyone's minds, and he pulled Lan Zhixian to praise Lan Shuqin.

"If this happens, your family will definitely be a great contributor to the village!"

Li Zheng patted Lan Zhixian's chest, and with one sentence, Lan Zhixian's eyebrows danced with joy.

After these people left, the old man was very complicated.

He sees everything today.It was obviously Dafang's fault in the first place. Seeing that Dafang's family was going to lose the face of destroying Lan's house, which made him unable to hold his head up in the village, but Sanfang's family turned around and not only resolved the crisis at home, It also improved the status of their Lan family in the eyes of everyone.

The old ancestor was right, Sanfang, he owed a lot.

Lan Shuqin thought it was all right, and took Lan Ruqing's hand to ask her something.

But Lan Ruqing felt that this matter had to be said. She didn't wait for her father to ask her, but instead asked, "Father, do I still have a younger brother?"

The whole family was shocked, especially Liu Shi and Lan Youdi, their expressions were quite nervous, and they held the mahogany sword tightly with both hands, as if only in this way could they feel at ease.

The adults didn't tell Lan Ruqing about this, because it was inconvenient for Lan Ruqing to hear it for some reasons.

Nie's lips trembled and turned white. After a while, she asked, "How do you know this?"

When she gave birth to her son, Qingqing was five years old, but at that time Qingqing was injured because of her brain, she looked naive and didn't know anything. When she was eight years old, Mrs. Nie asked her if she could remember I remember that there was a younger brother, but Qingqing said she didn't know about it.

That is to say, he was forced to work by Mrs. Liu later, and only after being beaten more times did he become a little smarter.

"Then did you sell him?" Lan Ruqing pretended to glance at Liu Shi casually, and then asked indignantly.

"Sell? How is it possible? Your younger brother died when he was born. Even if our family went to beg on the street, we wouldn't sell our sons and daughters!"

Nie's heart ached for a while, and then she let it go. It's been so many years, let the past pass.

"It's impossible to die young, it must be sold by grandma. I went to the county town several times, and almost every time I happened to meet a boy about ten years old who looked exactly like my father!"

The whole family looked at Lan Ruqing together, and Lan Shuqin was even more shocked, "Qingqing, you are sure you read it right, you really look exactly like dad!"

"Don't say they are exactly the same, at least they are more or less similar. At first I couldn't figure it out. Later, I often used the excuse to go to town, and the more I looked, the more I looked like them.

If it hadn't happened yesterday, I might not have opened my mouth. Do you know that I saw him again yesterday. He was beaten by a couple, and there was a big scar on his leg! "

Lan Ruqing sobbed as she spoke.The whole family was panicked, shocked, and full of doubts.

"This, this... how is it possible? Isn't our child dying at birth?" Nie couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing, and the complicated expression fell into people's eyes, making people feel pain like a needle.

Lan Zhixian was the most shocked, and raised his voice to ask her, "Young girl, can you see clearly? Why didn't you say this yesterday!"

Lan Ruqing cried, "Look clearly, too many things happened yesterday, I feel a little confused, thinking that one more thing is worse than one less thing, but at night I dreamed of that child, he is having a very bad life , I think this is not a blood relationship!
Auntie, uncle, why are you so nervous? "

Lan Ruqing turned her head and pointed the finger at Mrs. Liu with one sentence.

"Well, you probably read it wrong. There are too many people who look alike in the world. Your brother died a long time ago. If you mention it now, won't you expose your father's and mother's scars?"

Liu's eyes dodged, after what happened last night.She is very sensitive about this matter. Didn't that kid come to look for her last night?It must be dead. What Qing girl saw, probably has nothing to do with the Sanfang family.

It's good to die, she can still push it clean!

"Yes, tell me, did Sanfang's son die or not? It was your mother-in-law who delivered the baby to Sanfang's family, and you carried the child out. There really wasn't anything wrong?"

To be honest, Lan Youdi is relatively honest compared to the Liu family. When the old man asked, Lan Youdi couldn't pretend anymore, "Back... back then..."

"It's nothing, how could anything go wrong, didn't I hold that child for you to see? You still said that it was the crime of the third family, no luck, no son's life..."

Liu's quick answer made the old man feel even more suspicious, he roared heavily, "What's going on, can you tell the truth!"

The old man was furious. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, there must be something tricky about it. The son of the Sanfang family was sold. Didn't Sanfang think it was him who did it?
Dafang's family really pushed Lan's family into a desperate situation, and he spoke harshly in order to let Sanfang see his attitude.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu still wanted to rush to answer, Lan Ruqing immediately took the lead, "Auntie, do you dare to swear to the sky that the child my mother gave birth to was stillborn?"

I swear this is a bit harsh. Liu Shi didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but since last night, she was really scared.

swear?If the little ghost heard about it, he would come looking for her again in the middle of the night.No, no, she must not swear.

"Yes, you say, if a word is not true, I have no father-son relationship with you!"

Lan Zhixian sipped at Lan Youdi, and Lan Youdi nodded with a pale face, "It was Ningxiang who brought back a stillborn baby back then and sold the son born to my third brother!"

Just after saying this, Lan Zhixian rushed up and kicked Lan Youdi so hard that he couldn't even get up when he kicked him on the ground.

"Nie Zhan, who told you to do that, to sell your nephew behind my back, do you still have my father and your third brother in your eyes?"

When her parents learned the truth, they acted quite tragically. They grabbed Liu Shi by the collar, as if they wanted to vent all the anger in their hearts, and slapped Liu Shi desperately.

Not to mention her father, he stepped forward to paw Lan Youyou's feet, and hit him with a bamboo pole without any hassle!
