I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Seeing her expression, Zhang Siyuan felt a little weird, but he still took two pieces of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the yamen servant.

However, he did not let everyone see this scene, but blocked the movement of his hands with his body.

The yamen servant, who was a little unhappy at first, suddenly smiled.

"Go and beat the drums, I'll report to the adults."

After a while, the yamen servant came out again.

"The county magistrate has arrived, let's go in."

With the sound of being promoted, except for Zhu's family, Zhang Siyuan, Zhu Qiuqi and his wife, everyone was stopped outside the gate.

It was also the first time for Zhu's family to go to the government. The majestic and oppressive court made Wen Yu and others feel like retreating.

Although they planned well on the road before, they still couldn't help trembling when they actually faced the county magistrate wearing the official mansion.

"Who is in the hall? Hurry up and report your name!"

As the county magistrate's voice fell, the gavel also slapped.

Wen Yu was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell limp on the ground.

Although Wang Shi was afraid, she did not forget the purpose of their visit this time.

Seeing that Wen Yu was frightened, he quickly knelt behind Wen Yu and pulled her clothes.

"Mother, the county magistrate is asking questions. You are talking, but don't forget what we planned just now."

Wen Yu shuddered and raised her head subconsciously.Faced with the expressionless expression on the county magistrate's face, he hastily lowered his head again.

"Responding to your lord's words, Mrs. Wen, a civilian woman. Today...today, I came here to sue my unfilial...unfilial daughter..."

Although Zhu Qiuqi came to the court for the first time, although she was not afraid of the majestic atmosphere, she still knelt down with Zhang Siyuan.

Because of his status as a village official, Li Zheng stood beside Zhang Siyuan and his wife instead of kneeling.

When he heard that Wen Yu bit Zhu Qiuqi back first, his expression changed immediately.

He hurriedly cupped his hands to the county magistrate, "My lord..."

The county magistrate cast a glance at him, and swallowed the words that were on the verge of his lips.

Seeing Wang's complacency that she couldn't hide with her head down, Lizheng couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

Zhu Qiuqi had already seen what Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did, and she didn't panic when she heard Wen Yu's words.

Seeing that Li was worried, she just nodded reassuringly.

Li was thinking of Zhu Qiuqi's attitude towards Zhu's family in the past, and felt a little relieved.

He also knew something about the lawsuit in court. Although Wen Yu could accuse Zhu Qiuqi of being unfilial, if there is no evidence, the charge cannot be established.

The county magistrate sat on top and had a panoramic view of the situation below.

"Wen, tell me, what happened and why did you sue your daughter?"

Wen Yu originally wanted to cry miserably, but was suddenly questioned by the county magistrate, and she didn't know how to cry for a while.

He could only turn his head to look at his daughter-in-law, hoping that Mrs. Wang could speak for her.

Seeing this, the county magistrate immediately frowned.

"Wen's! This officer is asking why you want to sue your own daughter? Who is your daughter? What happened?"

Wen Yu was startled by the county magistrate's sudden raised voice.

She hastily knelt down again, not daring to look for Mrs. Wang again.

"Responsive...to my lord's words, the daughter of the civilian woman is Zhu Qiuqi, she is..."

As Wen Yu spoke, he pointed at Zhu Qiuqi.

"My daughter is not filial to me. She... She stole two eggs from our family and wanted to starve me to death. Yes, she just wanted to starve me to death."

"My lord, please make the decision for the women. I had children to prevent old age. I never thought that at this age, I would still be treated harshly by my daughter..."

The more Wen Yu talked, the more he felt wronged, and the crying became louder.

It's a pity that her heart was already cold, and she couldn't shed tears after crying for a long time.

Hearing the piercing crying, the county magistrate only felt the noise in his ears, which also greatly affected his judgment.

'Snapped'

The gavel was slapped again, and Wen Yu's crying stopped abruptly.

"Quiet! No noise in the courtroom!"

After the county magistrate scolded him, Wen Yu didn't dare to make any more noise.

Only then did the county magistrate look at Zhu Qiuqi and his wife.

"Zhu Qiuqi, what can you say?"

"Responding to your lord's words, the women don't plead guilty!"

"In the early years, the women were always thinking about this natal family. If there was food and money in the family, they would give it to their natal family. At first, they thought that my natal family was my backer and supported me, but I didn't expect that my years of hard work had raised a group of wolves. s things!"

Although the county magistrate didn't know what happened, but hearing that Zhu Qiuqi, as a daughter, dared to insult her natal family in public, she still couldn't help frowning.

But he didn't stop it. After all, he didn't understand the whole story, and he didn't know whether Zhu Qiuqi had been wronged.

Seeing this, Li Zheng immediately handed over the pleading paper in his arms to the yamen servant at the side.The yamen servant sent the pleading paper to the master, and finally the master sent it to the county magistrate.

Originally, Lizheng wanted to hand over the pleading paper to the county magistrate, but unfortunately he didn't expect the yamen servant at the door to accept the money.

Seeing Zhang Siyuan hand over two pieces of silver to the other party, he was also momentarily stunned.

When he came back to his senses, the yamen servant had already entered the court.

No way, he could only take this opportunity to hand over the pleadings.

The county magistrate looked at Lizheng, but he didn't expect this little village official to know how to hand over the paper.

It seems that today's matter is no longer as simple as waiting for the owner to lose the chicken and the west family to lose the duck.

And Wen's only said that her daughter stole two eggs, but didn't say anything else.Just relying on two eggs to starve to death?Isn't this nonsense?

When the county magistrate saw clearly the contents of the pleadings, his complexion sank immediately.

"Wen, I will ask you again, is your daughter really going to starve you to death?"

Wang didn't expect that Lizheng would suddenly put the pleading paper on the ground, she couldn't read and didn't know what was written on Lizheng's pleading paper.

But listening to the county magistrate's tone, Wang's heart skipped a beat.

She wanted Wen Yu to splash dirty water on Zhu Qiuqi, but when she looked up, she met the county magistrate's expressionless expression, and Wang hurriedly lowered her head in fright.

Wen Yu didn't feel that what she said was wrong, she just felt that since she failed to get money and water from Zhu Qiuqi today, Zhu Qiuqi was treating her harshly.

Hearing the county magistrate's question, Wen Yu immediately stiffened his neck, completely losing his timid look.

"My lord, everything the women said is true. There is too little rain this year, and the river has been dropping. Our village also has rules for carrying water. Two people in a family can only carry one bucket of water."

"There were only two people in the Zhang family, but they carried two buckets of water. My mother asked her to borrow some water, but she not only refused to borrow it, but even threatened to cut off relations with me."

"What sin did I do? Why did I give birth to such a daughter..."
