Chapter 73: Stealing the child again
Shao came over after selling the golden ears and showed the money in his hand to his mother-in-law: "Sold for seven and a half taels."
Tang was pleasantly surprised and said with a smile: "Go back and keep the money. It will be your private room from now on. Don't use it for anything. Anyway, food and clothing are paid out of the public account. Don't lend it to others. Yao'er will spend money when he grows up." There’s plenty of room.”
"I understand, mother." Mr. Shao smiled at Yingbao, took his son back from his mother-in-law's arms, and went home with her.
Yingbao watched the two girls leave, feeling a little pity for some reason.
Because next year Tang's son will come back from the battlefield with a broken leg and die soon afterwards.
Grandma Tang was so sad that she followed him within two months, leaving the mother and son behind in the Chen family.
Clan leader Chen has great prestige outside the country, but it is not fair at home.
Once the second wife left and the younger daughter-in-law was a widow, it was difficult for him to interfere in the affairs of the fourth brother-in-law. Therefore, the fourth brother-in-law, Shao, and his son lived under the eldest brother-in-law, and their life was not good.
After the big flood, Ying Bao never saw them again.
Yingbao jumped off the railing, asked her two younger brothers to come down, and took the deer for a walk outside.
Yoyou pushed Yingbao with her head and motioned for her to ride on.
“There are three of us, you can’t carry it.” Yingbao patted its neck and led it outside.
Xiaojie and Xiaowu are very restless, and when they go outside, they are like wild horses running wild, and even dogs can’t chase them away.
"Slow down! Don't run too far, or I won't take you to play next time!" Ying Bao had no choice but to threaten them with her trump card.
Sure enough, the twins ran back obediently.
"Are you Yingbao?" An old woman came out from behind the haystack and asked with a smile.
Ying Bao turned around and looked, startling her.
It turns out that Chen Changping’s wife came over at some point.
She was also followed by Han Juniang of the Han family.
Yingbao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he called his two younger brothers to his side and asked cautiously: "Do you want to take pictures of flowers?"
Chen Feng's expression froze and she waved her hands quickly: "No, I am..." She thought for a while and didn't know how to introduce herself more appropriately.
Han stepped forward with a fake smile on her face, "Yingbao, I am your mother, and this is your mother..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Ying Bao crying loudly: "Dad! Mom! Someone is taking pictures of flowers!"
Chen Feng was shocked, and Han was also panicked, and quickly tried to cover Ying Bao's mouth.
When the two twins saw someone dared to bully their sister, they rushed forward to push and beat them, and cried loudly, "Bad guy! Bad guy!"
Jiang Sanlang had already rushed out of the house, followed by a group of villagers.
“What are you doing!”
Jiang Sanlang rushed forward, protected his daughter and son in his arms, and shouted angrily: "It's from the West Village again! Don't you think we can't see the East Village? Come with me to Li Zheng's place, and let's have a good time. "
Last time, there was an incident involving Chen Ergou's wife who stole her child and threw it into the river. The woman was eventually sentenced to exile. I don't know whether she is dead or not.
At this moment, the old wife and second daughter-in-law of Chen Laoshuan, a relative of Chen Ergou, came again. They must have started a conflict with him, Jiang Sanlang.
"Yes! It's outrageous to take them to Li Zheng's place. I think everyone in the West Village is crazy. Why do they like stealing children so much?"
“Even if Li Zheng dares to tolerate them this time, we will sue the county government and ask for an explanation.”
“Tie them both up! After the Pat Huazi came to our village, whose child will dare to go out in the future?”
The villagers were full of indignation, and some even rushed over and kicked Mr. Feng and Mr. Han several times.
Feng was almost paralyzed with fear and kept defending, "No, I'm not stealing children, we are..."
Jiang Sanlang didn't give her a chance to defend herself at all. He thrust his children into Chun Niang's hands, and he and several villagers tied Feng and Han behind their backs, stuffed rags into their mouths, and dragged them away.
Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang, and Old Jiang also wanted to follow, but Jiang Sanlang stopped them and asked them to go back and look after Zhou Mao and the others.
Just like that, a large group of Dongcun people went to the town and found Sun Lizheng. Sun Li was worrying about how to collect the remaining tax money, but he was accused of stealing a child again. When he asked, he was from Xicun again.
"You bastard! Go and call Nishimura Muramasa! And the heads of these two girls' households are also here."
He wanted to see if this person wanted to rebel!
So Chen Changsheng came, as did Chen Sanyou, and Chen Feng's husband, Chen Laoshuan.
When Chen Feng saw her husband, she quickly called out: "His father! Come and save me, my arm is almost broken..."
Chen Laoshuan looked unhappy and said to Sun Lizheng, "Jiang Sanlang misunderstood. How could my mother-in-law steal the child?"
Some villagers said angrily: "Why did you go to the East Village if you didn't steal the child? And you strangled Yingbao's neck. Are you trying to kill someone?"
Chen Laoshuan quickly looked at his wife and asked what was going on.
Chen Fengshi shook her head repeatedly: "I didn't, I didn't strangle her neck, I just wanted her to stop screaming..."
"Haha, you finally told the truth?" Jiang Sanlang sneered: "Why didn't you call her? You said you didn't want to steal the child. Why did she bother you by yelling at her door?"
Feng was at a loss for words and became increasingly incoherent. "Because she said we were just posing for flowers...I and we are not, so naturally we can't let her scream..."
Jiang Sanlang clasped his fists at Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, you heard it, my daughter thinks that they are two libertines."
Li Zheng said solemnly, "In this case, I will send you to the official tomorrow morning."
Chen Laoshuan was startled and quickly explained: "That's not the case. Jiang Sanlang, you misunderstood... You misunderstood."
If the Feng family and the Han family are sent to official positions, their second son will no longer be able to take the imperial examination.
Ms. Han on the side suddenly said: "That Yingbao is my biological child. We are here to recognize the child, not to steal it."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Brothers Wang Ke and Li Dayong were the most angry.
“You’re so shameless! If you can’t take pictures of flowers, you just say that Yingbao is your child. Why are you so arrogant?”
“You crazy bitch, is there something wrong with you? I think you are suffering from delusional disorder.”
Jiang Sanlang sneered: "Why does my daughter become your biological child?"
Sun Lizheng also said with his hands behind his back: "Yes, Mrs. Han, if you say that the child is your biological child, then it means it is your biological child? Everything must be proven, you know?"
Han secretly pinched himself hard and squeezed out a tear, "Li Zheng, that Yingbao is indeed my biological child. If you don't believe me, ask everyone if that child was picked up by Jiang Sanlang."
Chen Sanyou sneered, "You are such a weird woman. No one in the village knows that the Yingbao was picked up by Sanlang, but everyone can't accept that the Yingbao is their own. Put your dirty thoughts aside and take it for granted." Who doesn’t know what you want to do?”
Everyone laughed: "Yes, if I can't give birth to a son, do I want to **** the cherry treasure and give it to you?"
Who in the village doesn’t know that Ying Bao is the reincarnation of a little fairy boy? The Chen Laoshuan family really dares to think that they would come to their East Village to **** their child.
Li Dayong sighed, "How shameless!"
Han's face flushed, and tears finally came down, "No, Ying Bao is really my biological child."
Beside him, Chen Laoshuan lost his composure and said to Li Zheng: "Brother Sun, that child is indeed from my Chen family."
Even if it isn’t, it must be now. Otherwise, I won’t even want my old face.
“Is the moon in the sky your family’s?” Jiang Sanlang sneered again and again: “Everyone wants to claim that my Yingbao is their biological child, and you are already the eighth.”
“…” Chen Laoshuan was suddenly speechless.
Sun Lizheng found a chair to sit down, touched his beard, and said slowly: "I say it again, everything must be based on evidence. Chen Laoshuan, do you have evidence to prove that the child is from your family?"
Chen Laoshuan was stunned and turned his attention to his wife Chen Fengshi.
Chen Feng blinked and looked at her second daughter-in-law, "Ms. Han, you gave birth to the child. Do you have any evidence?"
