Propose a hundred times

In the anxious waiting, half a day passed.Everyone in Yuan's family and Geng's family, because of today's events, are in a bad mood, fidgeting, not eating well, and dare not say a word, for fear that the two wives who have been taken away from their husbands and are anxiously waiting for the news will not be able to bear being too pessimistic guess.Surrounded by fear is something they, a pregnant woman and a newly married young woman who don't know much about the world, can easily bear.Although the whole family is not in a relaxed mood, they are all worried. The longer the time passes, the less confident they dare to think about other things...

Unfortunately, there are some things that worrying doesn't help.

Stayed until the afternoon was approaching the meal time, Mrs. Geng went to the kitchen to cook dinner, Geng Qiuyue looked at the sky, suddenly remembered that her parents-in-law at home did not know what was going on, so she had to let go of her worries for the time being and bid farewell to her family.

"Father, sister, Yue'er went back first. Today, my father-in-law is not feeling well, and my mother-in-law has been taking care of her. I forgot to go back early to have a look."

"You child!" Boss Geng stared. "My father-in-law is not in good health. He must be shocked when something like this happens. You can go back quickly and help your mother-in-law with cooking and doing housework." .

Qiuyue nodded with shame on her face, comforted each other with her elder sister, and without further delay, she hurried back to Yuan's house.She was really too careless, and her mind was full of thoughts about Yuan Shaoan's situation, but she forgot her mother-in-law's advice before going out and asked her to discuss it with her natal family, but she stayed there for most of the day.

Dad needs someone to take care of him, and Shaoan is not here, so I should go back to help soon, do I want my mother to pick vegetables, cook rice, decoct medicine and feed pigs and chickens by herself?No matter how lazy she is, Geng Qiuyue will never be able to do this!

So, Yuan Shaoan, you'd better die and come back to me as soon as possible!

Almost running back home, out of breath, Qiuyue stepped into the courtyard gate, and saw her mother-in-law fetching water in the courtyard, and hurried up to help lift the bucket.Seeing her coming back, Yuan Shi breathed a sigh of relief and asked,

"How is it? What did your father say? Was Shunde taken away with An'er?"

"Yes, I have been there for a long time, and there is no news." Qiuyue was worried, looked up at the face of the person in front of her, and immediately changed her words of relief: "Mother, don't worry too much, no news is good News. Didn’t the government send someone to our house to look at the pigs? There’s nothing wrong with it. By the way, how is Dad?”

Yuan Shi nodded, and the worries in her heart faded away. While taking the water and carrying it to the kitchen, she replied: "After resting for a long time, his complexion is better. But there must be nothing to irritate him. I hope An'er will come back soon." Bar……"

The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the kitchen together while talking.The dishes had been washed and cut, Geng Qiuyue rolled up her sleeves, and was about to wash the pot and start a fire, Yuan Shi looked at her and said, "You cook dinner, I'll feed the pigs, remember to watch the medicine stove."

"Ah good."

The mother-in-law was so caring, Qiuyue felt a little ashamed for no reason.I am a daughter-in-law who has been married before, but I have never done dirty and tiring physical work in my husband's house.Now that Shao'an is not here, my father-in-law is sick, and my mother-in-law is too busy to turn her head, but she also takes over all the work of feeding the pigs, and only asks her to cook... This feeling is not good.

In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are busy with their own thoughts, feeding the pigs, cooking the rice, trying to calm down, and everything is as usual.Half an hour later, the whole family had dinner together, except for Yuan Shaoan.

Although Yuan's father rested for half a day and recovered most of his energy, after all, his weak body and Qiuyue's handicrafts were not the most suitable for him.

"It's getting dark soon, why hasn't An'er come back, it's supposed to take a long time to ask questions, and I don't know what's going on."

"Father, don't think too much about it. Maybe Shao'an is on his way back. The government sent people to pick them up, but they didn't necessarily send them back. Maybe they were on their way back now, or it was too late. Stay overnight in the city."

Qiuyue comforted this sick and weak father who still had to worry about his children at this age, and also tried to convince herself that everything should be better, and don't be too pessimistic or too worried.

Her reassurance for the good did distract Father Yuan's attention. Thinking about what happened the day before yesterday, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, yes, Yue'er is right! I can't say that An'er will My son is at Mr. Chen's place. If I don't come back tonight, I will stay at Chen's house for the night. Look at my memory, we have care in the city haha, Mr. Chen is still a relative of the county magistrate, it's all right! Hehehe..."

Mr. Chen!

Hearing this person, Geng Qiuyue's heart couldn't help but mention it, as if she had been hit, but also as if she had been appeased, she couldn't help but see the dead man in her family, who came out of the yamen and went to Chen's mansion, with Chen Shijie chatted and laughed sympathetically, and then ate at Chen's house and stayed...

A jar of vinegar was overturned.

The whole family was distracted by this extremely possible possibility. Father Yuan calmed down and picked up chopsticks to eat this unappetizing meal again.Yuan Shi looked at him, then at Qiuyue, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to eat in silence.Looking at Geng Qiuyue again, she can't help but her thoughts are flying, imagining a certain scene that does not make her happy, and silently chopping rice without making a sound.

Forget it, if this is the case, he should also thank Mr. Chen.

It was getting dark, and the Yuan family, who had no news, kept convincing themselves that Yuan Shaoan would be back soon, and the incident at the stall was not a major event.But just when they were about to believe in this self-comfort, they finally waited for the result.

Someone, with definite news.

Zhang Shunde came to Yuan's house with a look of melancholy and panic all over.

"Brother-in-law?"

"Shunde! Hey, you guys are back, where's An'er?"

Not to mention how happy everyone in the Yuan family was to see someone coming, they were finally looking forward to it.But when they looked behind Zhang Shunde and saw Yuan Shaoan in the distance, doubts and worries arose again.

"Uncle Yuan, Aunt Yuan, Qiuyue, Shao'an..." Zhang Shunde's eyes were complicated, hesitant, regretful, and ashamed, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Someone reported a case and sued him for eating pork and killed him." , Shaoan, he was sentenced!"

boom!

All three members of the Yuan family were breathless, and their eyes turned black.Such a thunderbolt directly split their cracked hearts into pieces.

"You said... what?!"

Yuan's father's instantly pale face and crumbling body showed the severity of the blow he suffered and the limit of his endurance.Yuan Shi and Geng Qiuyue helped her up together, they were so anxious, they wanted to know more about Yuan Shaoan's situation and the whole story, but also had to take care of this physically and mentally broken father, it was really a big deal.

Zhang Shunde is well aware of the extent of bad news he brought back, but as a commoner, he can't bear it and dare not resist. If there is any room for reversal in this case, it cannot be done by himself. of.

"Uncle Yuan, don't get excited, your body is important!"

"I'm asking you something! What's going on!"

Yuan's father couldn't hold back his excitement, his face was extremely ugly, he still insisted on his will, wanting to understand the ins and outs of this matter.He firmly believes that his pigs are fine, and his child has been wronged.Zhang Shunde was sad and helpless, he lowered his head, and in a hoarse voice, he detailed what happened in the county yamen court today.

Today, the plaintiff, Lin Sheng, sued Zhang Shunde for selling sick pork and causing the sudden death of his father. The county magistrate rushed to Lin Sheng’s home in Fenghuang Town for an autopsy, and then returned to the county with the doctor who happened to be returning from Yuan’s house in Fenghuang Village. According to preliminary verification of Lin Sheng's confession, his father, Father Lin, who died suddenly, indeed died abnormally.As for the specific cause of death, it is still under further investigation and comparison.

How could Yuan Shaoan and Zhang Shunde let go of such unclear news after waiting patiently with hope?If the matter is not cleared up in one day, they will never sleep or eat in peace.

However, as long as the case has not gone to the absolutely unfavorable end, the two of them can still calm down and continue to wait for the rigorous judgment and fair trial.

It's just that, only half an hour passed between recess, and when they were promoted again, the expressions and attitudes of Lord Wang and Master Qian changed completely.The doctor who had done the autopsy and the doctor who checked the source of the pork gave the exact verification result—there was something wrong with the pork, the problem was the source of the pork, and the pigs in Yuan’s family were sick.

This stunned Yuan Shaoan and Zhang Shunde, even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that the situation would take such a turn for the worse.The Yuan family's pigs are so thin, but if they are slaughtered and eaten, can they still eat people to death? !

As a result, the plaintiff, Lin Sheng, was even more proud, and changed his direction, no longer biting Zhang Shunde, a butcher, but insisting that the pig raised by Yuan Shaoan killed his father, and demanded that the Lord handle the case fairly, eliminate the culprit, and Punishment on the culprit will inevitably require a fine, and Yuan Shaoan will be imprisoned...

How can Yuan Shaoan, who has become the defendant inexplicably, be convinced? She is quite high-spirited and stable enough. She can't be accused of being useless like her brother-in-law. Thoroughly investigate the case and return her innocence.

However, Mr. Wang, who was originally neutral, had completely turned to the plaintiff's side at some point, and there were witnesses and other witnesses. Facing Yuan Shaoan's hard arguments, not only did he not listen to him at all, but he angrily reprimanded Yuan Shaoan for his sophistry, and looked at Yuan Shaoan. There was an indescribable annoyance and disgust in her eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yuan Shao'an had no choice but to go to see Master Qian. The man who had a good relationship with her friend Mr. Chen failed to obtain any information that was beneficial to him from the other party.

Therefore, the trend of the trial of the case was extremely unfavorable to the defendant. Yuan Shaoan repeatedly asked for a new autopsy, but Mr. Wang refused to listen. The culprit of the case was found, and the defendant was fined and imprisoned.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Yuan Shaoan finally understands that the official is targeting her, and seems to deliberately punish her.But no matter what the truth behind it is, she has no insight at this time, and she doesn't understand the general procedure of trial. After that, the whole family's life will never be easy.

So, flustered, she took what she thought was the most perfect countermeasure in a hurry-to take the case to justice, to avoid harming her family, avoid harming domestic pigs, and even avoid harming the frightened and weak legs. brother-in-law Zhang Shunde.

"It's all my fault! A pig at home got sick two days ago. I didn't care, and I didn't tell my family or Zhang Shunde. I sold the sick pig to him and asked him to kill it and sell it. I didn't expect , I thought it was just a little sick pig who ate people to death, I regret it! Mr. Wang, all this is my fault, it has nothing to do with my family or the butcher Zhang Shunde, the rest of the pigs in the family are also It's fine, it's not sick, only that end, the end I treated carelessly..."

……

In the end, Mr. Wang charged the defendant Yuan Shaoan with the crime of mistakenly selling sick pigs and causing death, skipped the detention pending trial and reported the case, and sentenced him to a penalty of 30 taels of compensation to the plaintiff, and two years in prison...

"I'm sorry for Uncle Yuan, Auntie Yuan Qiuyue! If it wasn't because I was in a hurry to sell pork to earn money, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened!"

Halfway through Zhang Shunde's speech, he couldn't help shedding hot tears. The clank man's mood fluctuated throughout the day, and he was so frightened that he spoke incoherently in the solemn and solemn county government hall.Yuan Shao'an's eyes were reddened by the move of Yuan Shao'an who took all the accusations on him.He returned to the village in a daze, and went straight to Yuan's family to report the letter without returning home. He was overwhelmed with guilt and remorse, and he cried while talking.

It's just that before he could express his guilt, all the members of the Yuan family who had heard the whole story were cold in their hands and feet and felt cold in their hearts.Unable to be stimulated, Father Yuan's eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness in a whirl.Fortunately, Yuan Shi and Qiuyue supported him steadily so that he could not lie down all the time.A few people moved people back to the room in a hurry, without thinking about other things, and immediately split up, pouring water, serving medicine, and looking for a doctor, lest the catastrophe was not over, and the disaster would happen again.
