When Sun Danian heard his father's words, he could not believe his own ears. He turned around to his father and asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, I-I'm going to hit the drum?" "This?"
"You coward, hurry up and beat the drum. No one will do anything to you." Old Mrs. Sun glared at Sun Danian. She raised her hand and slapped him on the back.
Sun Danian glanced at Sun Daliang and then at the two children. In the end, he had no choice but to go up and beat the drum himself. The drumbeats sounded and soon, someone came out from the yamen to check on the situation.
"You want to sue?" The runner frowned at Sun Danian and asked coldly.
When Sun Danian heard this, he was so scared that he immediately kneeled down. "Yes, it's us. We want to complain!"
The runner looked at Sun Danian, then at the people behind him and nodded. "Mm, come in!"
When the county magistrate arrived at the great hall, he saw the people kneeling down. He frowned as he looked at the people below and asked, "Who are you going to sue?"
"Master, we are going to sue our family for being unfilial. Not only did they not support us, they even kicked us out and hurt us. Master, please uphold justice for us!"
After the Old Man Sun had finished speaking, he kowtowed to the Great Elder, who was standing above, and spoke to him. The rest of the Sun Family followed and kowtowed to the man above.
When the county magistrate heard this, he frowned and said unhappily in his heart, "What's going on in this world now? Why are so many people coming to sue their family's juniors for not being filial? "
"Tell me, who is the informer, what is his name and where does he live?" The county magistrate asked again.
Old Man Sun quickly lied on his stomach and replied, "Anyi Village, Wanqing, that girl …"
"Who did you say?" When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes widened in surprise as he asked.
Actually, it was not just the county magistrate, even the yamen runners and Head Constable Zhang were shocked when they heard this. Why were there so many people who came to sue Lady Wanqing in this period of time? This Miss Wanqing must have been too old, how could she be so unlucky?
The voices of the people from Sun Family above were shocked, but they did not feel anything, so Old Man Sun opened his mouth to reply, "It's Anyi Village, Mu Wanqing."
"What is your relationship?" The county magistrate collected his thoughts and asked in a cold voice.
"That girl is my granddaughter."
A grandfather suing his granddaughter? He really did care about face.
The county magistrate snorted coldly and spoke again, "Miss Wanqing is your granddaughter, yet you want to sue her for not raising you two. Could it be that your son and grandson are not even capable of supporting you two, and now you want to marry their daughter's child to give you your old age? Your family's atmosphere is truly strange. Are you all sizing me up for being too idle? "Everyone, let's leave the hall."
What a joke, that Wanqing was Duke Chen's person. This family did not have eyes, he could not not have eyes, how could she offend her own future for an outsider?
After Head Constable Zhang received the order, he waved his hand and the surrounding yamen runners came forward to press down the whole family of Sun Family. He did not care whether the whole family was screaming and begging for mercy, or if they were not convinced and just continued to do their own things.
The county magistrate had left, the Grand Master had left, the Old Man Sun was completely dumbfounded. Shouldn't they capture the Cheap Girl Mu Wanqing and bring him here to be punished? How could they be punished?
"Master, master …" "We're here to complain …"
"Stop shouting, I've really never seen people like you that are so shameless, letting your daughters who were married off have children to support you. How can your faces be so big?" Even Head Constable Zhang wanted to hit him himself.
The people from Sun Family knew that their complaint was unreasonable, but this wasn't without precedent. Furthermore, the reason for this matter hadn't been revealed yet, so why did they start beating people up after just two sentences?
No matter what, Old Man Sun still had some brains, it was only now that he remembered what Mu Dahai had said. Wasn't it because he complained that his father was sent to prison?
Amidst everyone's cries, the board finally stopped. Although it was the top ten board and the farmers had been working hard all year long, their bodies were strong, but they still could not stop the board.
The Head Constable Zhang said to the people from Sun Family in a cold voice, "Warning you all, don't come here to sue Wanqing the little girl. Furthermore, Wanqing has already registered in her own household, so it doesn't matter to anyone. You all had better figure out what the situation is, and the next time, it will be the same as the old man from Mu Family."
Like the Old Man Mu? Isn't that the same as going to a prison? They didn't want to stay in jail, so when the Old Man Sun heard this, he quickly replied, "We, understand, understand."
After being chased out of the county magistrate court, everyone helped each other to walk back. However, they were all injured, and every step they took was painful. How could they continue walking back?
"Dad, what should we do now?" Sun Daliang really couldn't take it anymore. Everyone was injured, so what should he do now? Was he really going to go back? If they wanted to return to their village, given their current situation, it would take at least three or four days to do so. And there was absolutely no food on the way.
Old Madam Sun really could not take it anymore. After a wail, she cried out to Old Man Sun, "Old man, what should we do? Is it really going to be like this? "
Sun Danian didn't say anything. He was still scared, so he didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to go back to his bed and get a good night's sleep. Before he recuperated from his injuries, he didn't want to go anywhere.
The two wives did not even dare to breathe. After getting beaten up like that, they really did not know what would happen if they continued to ask for Wanqing's silver. At this time, after the two wives of the Tian Clan looked at each other, they saw that they had withdrawn from each other's eyes.
The two kids were so scared that they were on the verge of tears. In their entire lives, they had never experienced such fear before. The two of them felt as if their hearts were about to be shaded.
Everyone had obviously shrunk a little, but Old Man Sun didn't think so. He looked forward with a faintly ruthless gaze, "Go to the Anyi Village to recuperate your injuries."
Go to the Mu Family to recuperate? What did that mean? When the people from the Sun Family heard this, they all felt that they couldn't hear it clearly. Now that everyone was injured, wasn't everyone going home to recuperate? If he went to the Mu Family, how would he recuperate his injuries?
If they were to go to Mu Family, then they would be guests. Naturally, they would not need to do things like cooking and chores, but if they were to go back home, then they could only make the two of them cook whatever food the family members had, even though it was usually they who made it.
At this time, Sun Hua weakly said, "Grandpa, every step is painful, what do we do?" Do we really have to walk back? "
Hearing this, Old Man Sun frowned, and said unhappily, "Hmph, so useless."
Even though he said that, he still felt sorry for his two grandsons. After thinking for a moment, Old Man Sun said, "Da Nian, go find an ox cart. We will take it and go back."
In the Four Clans of the Anyi Village, the yamen runners had already measured the mountain. Because of the county magistrate's instructions, they measured the flat ground at the foot of the mountain three feet higher, making a total of one thousand and five hundred taels of silver.
As if he had received the measure given by the yamen runner and held it in his hand, he glanced at Boss Zhu. Boss Zhu was still quite intelligent, so he naturally knew what Wanqing meant.
"Miss, I've followed you around the foot of the mountain. I already know which ones are ours."
Wanqing nodded, looking at the runner and said, "Sir, it's been hard on you, I'm treating you to tea."
Wanqing knew that these people did not take the money that Mo Yichen had previously given her, so she would give it to them herself.
When a bailiff saw this situation, how did he feel it? He hurriedly dragged the bag back, his face carrying a trace of fear. "Miss Wanqing, you can't! This is something we should do, where can we take the silver from?"
"Keep it. This is something that should be done. It's not a lot either."
This time, Wanqing did not give away the entire amount of silver, but rather some scattered silver taels. After all, in this era, people had to support their families, and some liked to drink and drink to their heart's content, but there were some people who wanted to keep the silver taels safe and sound, to be used by writers, so it was more convenient for people to part of the family.
After the runner left, Wanqing thought that since the mountain was already her, she should keep her things in her hands. But what she should do now was to turn Bai Qi into a red card.
"I'm going out, are you going?"
Mo Yichen had just received a message from his brother, so he really had some matters to attend to. Seeing that Wanqing was about to leave, he decided to head out together with him as well. Then, she thought of an excuse to meet his brother.
"Yes, I still need to talk to the official media about the marriage. There are still two days left, we need to prepare."
Wanqing nodded her head, "Alright, then let's go together, it just so happens that Luo Qian has returned with the dishes, and if he wants to go again, we will go together with Luo Qian."
Mo Yichen and Wanqing had just left, and Liu Xing had just returned from sending Jade Fang and Tofu back. Looking at the two of them walking in and out of this place like this, he felt really bad, but thinking about how the two of them were faking a marriage, he felt relieved in his heart. However, Liu Xing knew that there were some things that were not things that he could have.
"Big brother, you're back?" How about it? Did everything go smoothly today? " Liu Yue smiled and took the silver bag from Liu Xing's hands.
Early in the morning, Liu Xing dragged Liu Xing and Dou Dou into the town. First, he sent Dou Dou over to the school, then Yu Ya and Dou Dou, and then he delivered the food along with Luo Qian. On the way, Luo Qian came back to deliver the dishes.
"Yes, it went smoothly. We have to get busy in the next few days. We have to take care of the yard properly. Miss getting married is not a small matter."
After Liu Xing finished speaking, he brought the Zhu brothers and went to work together with the others to arrange a first and second courtyard, while the third courtyard was arranged by Hong Xia, Sister-in-Law Zhao, Liu Yue and the others.
The wedding was naturally a big matter, what was needed at home was celebration. Not only in the courtyard, but in each and every room, especially the room that Wanqing was currently living in, was arranged to be a wedding.
Only Liu Xing and Mo Yichen knew that Wanqing was faking a marriage, so when they arranged the wedding ceremony, they had to arrange Mo Yichen's room. Even if it was a fake marriage, they would need to have a happy expression on their face.
When the carriage was on the road, they coincidentally met people from Sun Family who came back with an ox cart. They were all lying on the ox-cart, and it was very funny.
"Miss, the people in front of us are from Sun Family. They should be injured." Luo Qian drove the carriage and said to the people inside.
Wanqing exclaimed. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, to see that the Sun Family people were being beaten one by one, just like how it was when Mu Family Old Lady Mu was beaten up.
Sun Yong was uncomfortable because of turning around in one direction. When he moved to another position, he saw Luo Qian driving a carriage over. Sun Yong had seen this person in the morning, so he naturally recognized him.
"Father, isn't that the person beside Cheap Girl?"
