Chapter 651 Adoption

"Niu Shuiliu is my brother's only bloodline. As the elder brother, I should raise his child no matter what. I can't let others take over my child and let my brother die in peace because of his last wish!"

"I also hope that the county magistrate will make the decision for my family so that my niece can return home and let my brother fulfill his wish. I also hope that the county magistrate will fine the ungrateful Bai Shitang a hundred dollars for the sake of my family being separated for many years. Two silver coins as compensation for my family."

“Please, please make the decision for our family.”

After Niu Bajin said this, he kowtowed heavily to Gu Xiuwen several times. He even held the memorial tablet of Niu Jiujin in his arms and cried bitterly, "Second brother, don't worry, the county magistrate is here, and the eldest brother will definitely help you take care of your daughter." I want to come back, burn incense and kowtow to you every year, so that you can rest in peace..."

That look looked so pitiful that even the government servants on the side had red circles in their eyes.

Gu Xiuwen lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Shitang, "Is what Niu Bajin complained about true?"

"My lord, the county magistrate, Bai Shitang, a grassroots man, is from Baijia Village. This Baishuiliu is indeed not my biological child." Bai Shitang replied.

“County Master, listen, this man admitted it!” Niu Bajin felt happy when he saw Bai Shitang admitting it so simply.

Originally, I thought it would take a lot of words, but now it seems that my daughter-in-law is right. This is a person who is afraid of getting into trouble and has come to the Yamen, so he will definitely not dare not tell the truth.

"Sir, the common people only said that Baishuiliu is not my biological daughter, but they did not say that Baishuiliu is not from Baijia Village. Baishuiliu is from Baijia Village and adopted into my family." Bai Shitang replied.

"The county magistrate, he is talking nonsense. Shuiliu is my niece. Many people in our Niujiazhuang recognize Shuiliu. There are a few tribesmen who came with me outside. The county magistrate can send them in to ask." Niu Ba Jin said hurriedly.

“County Master, I also have witnesses here who can prove that Bai Shuiliu is from Baijiazhuang.” Bai Shitang replied loudly.

Gu Xiuwen sat up straight, "Since you guys are right and your wife is right, then call all your witnesses and I will listen."

After Gu Xiuwen said that, the officials on the side went out and brought up all the witnesses Bai Shitang and Niu Bajin said.

There were quite a few people on both sides, more than ten in total. After entering the Yamen, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and the room was packed with people.

"Since Niu Bajin is the plaintiff, let's start from Niujiazhuang. You all can tell us one by one, what is the relationship between Niu Bajin and why you say that Baishui Liu is Niu Bajin's niece and Niu Jiujin's daughter."

"Since you are standing in this court today, every word you say must be true. If there is even half of an untruth, I will punish you severely. Can you hear me clearly?"

Gu Xiuwen was originally calm and powerful, but now he spoke loudly and loudly, making everyone present tremble in their hearts and hurriedly kowtow in response.

Since Gu Xiuwen had spoken here, he started from Niujiazhuang. A tall and thin middle-aged man walked out first.

"Back to the county magistrate, Xiaomin is Li Zheng from Niujiazhuang. Niu Bajin and I have gone to see her secretly. Shuiliu is indeed from our Niujiazhuang. I saw her when she was five or six years old. It has been several years since she passed away, and although her appearance has changed, Xiaomin is sure that it is Niu Shuiliu."

"Caomin is Niu Bajin's aunt. Niu Shuiliu has to call me cousin. Shuiliu grew up in the village. Her eyes are prettier than those of other children. I can see them right away." come out."
