Vol 3 Chapter 42: human words
"Yes, yes, some of the female dolls in the village are sick, and they will be thrown to the messy grave at the head of the village. The female dolls are worthless, and they cost money to see a doctor. Some of them will be sold if they give birth more. So, Bai's family The daughter-in-law is really kind to her girl, and she often sees her girl crying, so she just, well, take her for a walk around the village, the girl will be better..."
"Speaking of which... Pingting was a little bit out of order last year... I heard from my daughter-in-law that her mother-in-law said that Yu Pingting seemed to have some brain problems, but she felt ashamed and didn't talk about it. It’s not easy to be treated in the village, maybe you will be kicked out by the village...Why is it abnormal? Ah...I’m always in a daze. Sometimes I’m in a daze while washing clothes by the river, and then I forget that I’m here I don't know exactly how to wash clothes by the river..."
"Pingting is always crying in secret. I have seen it several times. But she dare not show it to her mother-in-law. You know her mother-in-law, she is not fierce or scolding, she just talks in a weird way, such as ouch I'm not lucky, my son asks for a daughter-in-law and wants me to serve her... Oops The eldest lady is the one who is precious, she can't do anything, it's hard for me Then she just pretended to cry, bad come..."
"Oh! Bai Zhankui beat Pingting! It was Chen Jinhua who kept it next to him. Bai Zhankui was always nice to his mother. He believed everything her mother said. When Pingting and his mother had conflicts, he was always Help his mother, I'm sorry for Pingting..."
"It's a normal thing to beat a wife...in the village, I don't know how it is in your city. Anyway, in this village, how many families have never beaten their wives? Is this disobedient? , always have to fight. Father-in-law can hit, mother-in-law can hit, and this husband can also hit, so, normal, normal, hehe..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that old **** Bai Youcai is disgusting to death! He stared at Pingting all day long and wanted to touch him twice, but I bumped into him once! Pingting was breastfeeding, so he went right in, don't you think so?" The old thing?! Later, it was pulled out by Chen Jinhua. Chen Jinhua wanted to save face, so she said that Pingting seduced her old thing. But who would believe it. There are a lot of father-in-laws in the village who want to pick up ashes. They are all old beasts! Old cards !Humph!"
"Pingting is always crying..."
"Pingting didn't say anything about her grievances..."
"I heard that Pingting broke up with her natal family long ago because she was going to marry Bai Zhankui..."
"Pingting's mother-in-law is the worst..."
"Chen Jinhua is the most vicious..."
"After Pingting died, for some reason, she went to live in the town instead..."
"I heard that the house was exchanged with a girl..."
"How can it be so bad..."
"Crack!" Duanmu Qingchen angrily slapped the records on the table, his face flushed with anger.
Fu Mingrui still read these transcripts carefully, he was much calmer than the furious Duanmu Qingchen.
Duanmu Qingchen couldn't calm down his anger while sitting. He stood up and wandered around. Seeing Fu Mingrui's calm expression after wandering for a while, he became even more angry: "Why aren't you angry? Why aren't you angry!"
Fu Mingrui still looked at the transcript calmly: "We who decide the case must remain calm and not be influenced by the confessions of various people. Especially when we want to return other people's innocence." After Fu Mingrui finished speaking, he continued to read each document carefully. record.
"I'm so mad!" Duanmu Qingchen was so angry that he continued to linger, "How can people be so bad? Oh, my wife, my daughter-in-law, that's my family! This Bai Zhankui can treat you with the excuse of studying." I don’t care about my wife and children?! Oh! This mother-in-law can be used as a servant just because this woman is their daughter-in-law? And that father-in-law! She even wants to take advantage of her daughter-in-law?! Me!" Duanmu Qingchen Clenching his hands into fists, "If this family dies, it will be a good deal for them! Otherwise, I will!"
"How are you?" Fu Mingrui asked back.
Duanmu Qingchen stared, and thrust his waist: "The crown prince cut off their heads?!"
"Just because Bai Zhankui doesn't care about his wife and children?" Fu Mingrui asked again.
The angry Duanmu Qingchen was blocked by Fu Mingrui's rhetorical question.
"Or is it because Chen Jinhua ordered Yu Pingting?"
Duanmu Qingchen opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Or is it because of Bai You's lust?" Fu Mingrui frowned. These crimes are all innocent according to the law!
Duanmu Qingchen calmed down, and stroked his forehead: "These...but killed Yu Pingting..." His heart ached, he felt sorry for this girl's worthlessness, and for this girl's short life.
"Hey..." Fu Mingrui put down the heavy record in his hand, "These things are common in the city, not to mention the village. The big family has to have servants and servants. A woman obeys her father at home, obeys her husband when she gets married, and obeys her husband when her husband dies." Congzi, in this life, I have never had Congzi myself. Your Highness, are you trying to challenge the fundamental concept of Qian Dynasty?"
Duanmu Qingchen was startled, Fu Mingrui's sharp, deep and helpless eyes hurt his heart even more. Indeed, this is a system, an ancient concept.
Men are respected, women are humbled. A woman's lack of talent is a virtue, and a woman should obey three virtues and four virtues. These concepts have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From the royal family to the common people, everyone believes in this concept and behaves according to it.
Duanmu Qingchen fell into complete silence because of Fu Mingrui's rhetorical question.
"In this case, on the surface, no one is right." Fu Mingrui frowned, but his beautiful eyes were covered heavily, "Bai Zhankui concentrated on his studies, obtained fame in the exam, and made his family shine. What's wrong?"
Duanmu Qingchen rolled his eyes, not wanting to hear what Fu Mingrui had to say. At this moment, it's not that he didn't want to hear what Fu Mingrui said they were right, but he himself didn't want to admit that these are actually the most normal things to do, the most normal concepts!
"Chen Jinhua reprimanded her own daughter-in-law, what's wrong? Here, only Bai You is at fault. He shouldn't be interested in Yu Pingting, but did he really do something out of line? Can you punish Yu Pingting? Him? In which law, there is no one that can convict anyone who is willing." Fu Mingrui let out a long sigh with chest tightness, "Prince, these things are just icebergs in the cases I have handled. One corner. Yu Pingting, like those women, died in the concept of patriarchy. I once saw a case in the case file library. There was a special pagoda in a village, and the local villagers called that pagoda to cry for babies. The tower, inside, is full of abandoned baby girls..." Fu Mingrui lowered his face in pain, "The evil in the human heart, disregarding life, the causes are complicated, it is difficult to explain, in summary, it is still lack of education, and educated people will be more serious. Respect Life…"
"Then Bai Zhankui has been admitted to the academician! Has he respected his wife?!" Duanmu Qingchen asked back, reading did not change Bai Zhankui's disposition, but changed his destiny. Let him escape from the fate of a farmer and become a future official.
