Chapter 278: atonement for mother
Chapter 278 Atonement for Mother
Seeing Lin Jinxiao approaching slowly, the Chen mother and daughter were both afraid and scared, but joy also spontaneously arose in their hearts.
Ms. Chen crawled over excitedly while pinching her already numb kneecaps, pretending to be aggrieved and pitiful, crying and shouting:
"Da Lang, it's all mother's fault. Mother shouldn't make you unhappy, let alone make your wife unhappy, and make you caught in the middle. Today, mother specially brought your two younger sisters to apologize to you."
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of the surrounding crowd, and the uproar sounded one after another:
"Nizi, you are really a rebellious and unscrupulous son. In order to make his wife happy, he actually made his mother kneel down to him. I don't know who dares to recommend this person to be my county magistrate of Luyan Port. He is still a fifth-rank."
"It seems that we will have a hard time in the future. If we don't respect our own mother, how can we treat us people kindly?"
Listening to the murmurs and discussions around, Lin Jinxiao could see that the mother and daughter were here to admit their mistakes, and they were obviously here to provoke trouble.
"Let's talk inside if you have anything to do."
Lin Jinxiao calmly stepped forward, lowering his voice and whispering.
"No, no, Dalang, let's talk outside."
Chen waved his hands, pretending to be afraid and aggrieved to reject him.
Lin Jinxiao sighed helplessly.
Since she deliberately wanted to bring the family scandal to the surface, she could only accompany her to the end.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the aggrieved mother and daughter, and under the eyes of everyone, he knelt down directly on the ground, and then he pretended to be in pain and cried out:
"Mother, it's all the children's fault, the children have made you suffer."
"No, no, it's my mother's fault."
Seeing that he finally compromised, Mrs. Chen smiled happily, and was about to stand up and help him wiping away tears.
Lin Jinxiao pressed her down with all his strength, and Chen was stunned because he didn't understand, and then he cried unrepentantly:
"Is it my son's fault? My son failed to control your family well, causing you to be hated by the villagers and cast aside by the tribe. Now, my son is going to ask the patriarch to share the same crime with you, and to leave the clan. He will also report to the court to deprive you of your merits and atone for your sins. "
When Mrs. Chen heard it, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and after a long time, she hesitated and said: "Da Lang, mother and mother didn't mean that."
She also pointed out that this step-son was lucky enough to ask for a royal order. If he asked himself to leave the family and strip away his fame, what hope would there be for the family in the future.
Lin Jinyun and Qin Xianglian were also terrified when they heard that, they pulled Lin Jinxiao who was about to get up together, and cried, "Brother, it's all our fault, we've made you a burden, you can't do this."
Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an in the distance looked bewildered, and they didn't know what the student wanted to do, and when they heard that he wanted to invite himself out of the family and deprive him of his fame, he also began to murmur in his heart.
After hearing Lin Jinxiao's words, the surrounding discussion stopped abruptly, and he immediately guessed that there must be something hidden in it, which would disgust the villagers, and it must not be a good bird to be expelled from the clan.
Lin Tingzhen and the elders who rushed over after hearing the sound were even more miserable. They strode over, pointed at the mother and daughter and began to curse:
"You selfish mother and daughter are really stubborn. You ruined your own reputation, and now you want to ruin your son's reputation. Are you worthy of Tingshu's spirit in heaven?"
Looking around at the suspicious crowd, Lin Tingzhen said righteously: "My neighbors, I don't want to pay attention to today's matter, but it is about the honor and disgrace of the Lin family. I must seek justice for my descendants. say."
Then, he pointed angrily at Chen's mother and daughter, and continued: "This mother, daughter and her son who have been imprisoned have caused disasters in the village for many years, disturbing the peace of the neighbors in Anlin Village, and this woman has repeatedly instigated The descendants cleverly plundered the property of the villagers, and refused to mend their ways despite repeated admonitions.
A few days ago, Mrs. Chen instigated her son to steal money from her stepson's family for medical treatment, and was arrested and taken to prison. The mother and daughter still did not want to repent, and broke open the door of the house while the stepson's family was returning to visit relatives. , Even the oil and rice in the house were stolen, so unconscionable, causing disasters to the whole village, I would like to ask everyone, is it fair for me, as the head of the Lin family, to expel their mother and son from the clan as a warning? "
After hearing these words, the crowd exploded again, and they glared at Chen's mother and daughter angrily, discussing:
"This is simply not treating the stepson as a human being."
"A stepmother like this at the booth will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."
"Don't say it's expulsion from the clan, this kind of people should be driven out of our county and exiled to the frontier fortress to taste the pain."
Filled with righteous indignation, Liu Yun handed the food box to Chu Nanzhi, and raised her sleeves to tear up Chen Shi. Seeing this, several elders of the Lin family tried their best to stop her.
Liu Yun's eyes were wide open, and she continued to squeeze in front of Mrs. Chen angrily, cursing:
"Mrs. Chen, do you really think that my Chu family are all soft persimmons? You keep embarrassing my daughter and son-in-law again and again. What are your intentions?
Your family has committed so many evils that the villagers will not tolerate it. Last time you stole my daughter’s dowry jewelry, and even emptied the house of oil, salt, rice and food. My daughter did not send your family to see the official out of kindness. Now you Come to harm my son-in-law again, even if I try my best today, I will not let your treachery succeed again. "
"Calm down your in-laws, don't argue with her."
Lin Tingzhen glared at the Chen mother and daughter again furiously, and stopped in front of Liu Yun to comfort her.
Chen's mother and daughter secretly looked at the angry eyes around them, so frightened that they didn't dare to look up.
Qin Xianglian is a smart mind. She disagreed with the idea of the third uncle yesterday, but the mother-in-law and sister-in-law who can't hold back, if they provoke public anger now, it may not end well.
Seeing that her brother was determined to fight to the death, she had no choice but to turn her mind to Chu Nanzhi.
After all, this elder brother and sister-in-law have always been haunted by vanity, and now the elder brother has finally managed to become a high-ranking official. Even if the elder brother is willing to ask for his dismissal, the sister-in-law is definitely not willing.
She crawled up to Chu Nanzhi humbly, and begged earnestly: "Sister-in-law, my mother and I sincerely changed our past today, and if we want to admit our mistakes, please beg my elder brother to forgive my mother and Erlang." , They already knew they were wrong, but they can't really let elder brother be burdened by us and resign from his official position."
The quadruplets hated this family the most. The last time Lin Jinhong beat Dabao Sanbao very hard, the bruises on his body have completely recovered now. Seeing Qin Xianglian pleading for the second uncle, they all silently tugged at Chu with angry little eyes. Nan Zhi clothing corner, in protest.
Chu Nanzhi touched the heads of a few little guys, and looked at the lonely figure not far away, and she had already guessed that this guy didn't want to get along with him easily after hearing what the little white face said. The Chen family compromised.
Looking at the majestic old Nie and Chang old at the gate of the county government office, she already knew it.
Even in my own age, I dare not belittle my stepmother and stepfather, let alone this era of strict etiquette.
I'm afraid this matter still needs to find a proper way to solve it.
She squatted down slightly, and first smiled gently at Qin Xianglian: "Since my siblings and mother know that they are at fault, why do they run to this county government again? Do they feel wronged? Or do they feel that the head of the Lin family and An Lizheng in the neighboring village is not fair enough?"
Qin Xianglian quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, we are all to blame for this. The patriarch, Li Zheng and the elders are naturally fair."
"Since it is fair, why did you kneel down to this county government office?"
Chu Nanzhi looked around at the three mother and daughter with lowered eyebrows, and said coldly: "This county government office is a place to complain about grievances and handle cases, and to uphold justice for the people of the county. You have no grievances and no official business. Either they intend to disturb the law and order, or they have ulterior motives to frame your brother who just took office, I don't know which one it is, I would like to hear it."
Seeing that the three of Chen's mother and daughter buried their heads tightly, not daring to answer, Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and continued:
"If you intend to disturb the law and order intentionally, the neighbors present and the officials of the county government will not allow you to behave like this, even County Magistrate Lin can't protect you;
If he said he wanted to frame your elder brother, then everything was as you wished, didn’t he just say that he was willing to invite himself out of the clan for your family, and went to the court to deprive you of your fame and atonement for you, so you are still satisfied? "
The surrounding onlookers heard these words, gritted their teeth, and scolded angrily: "This is simply not a human being. He has done evil things by himself, and even hurt his own son."
"I heard that Mrs. Chen hasn't loved her stepson all these years."
Those who recognized Lin Jinxiao and his wife and knew something about it, couldn't help but voice their indignation.
The elders Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an looked at the calm Chu Nanzhi, savored her words carefully, their frowning brows could not help but gradually relaxed: She is such a spooky and eloquent girl, she was caught by her in a dead end. It was revived abruptly.
