Lin Qiong was afraid in her heart, so why not the old lady Lin, she thought for a moment that all this was brought by Lin Qiong, but for so many years, her love for Lin Qiong was not fake, this thought was just a flash However, when Lin Qiong called her, she subconsciously took Lin Qiong's hand.

"Don't be afraid, it's fine."

"Don't be afraid."

I don't know if I am comforting Lin Qiong or comforting myself.

After the doctor's words, the county magistrate asked Mrs. Lin if the other party's words were true. Mrs. Lin didn't want to admit it for the time being: "My lord, what he said is false. It's him, a liar, who lied to us. He was deceived by his pretentious tricks, so he trusted him, and wanted to get so much money for him to treat his illness."

As soon as she said this, the doctor became anxious: "Don't you know whether you are sick or not? You are not sick at all, you just smeared some powder on your face to pretend to be sick." look."

"My lord, if you don't believe me, you can find another doctor to feel her pulse right now. She doesn't have any ailments."

The county magistrate nodded and signaled the people around him to invite the doctor over.

The conversation in the hall continued: "Since you are not sick, if it wasn't for cheating money from your son's married brother, how could it be possible for me to ask for as much silver as I want?"

The doctor was also wronged when he said that, he just felt that he had been unlucky for eight lifetimes. He didn't know that this family had such a big appetite, so he only paid him a few dozen taels, and then turned around and asked his son's family for a few hundred taels.

God knows that after he found out the money the family wanted in public, his face froze, but since he had the handle in his hands, he could only go along with it.

Then these people will be more and more.

Now he is being sued to the Yamen.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said everything about the old Lin family, including how bad Mrs. Lin and the others were to the second-bedroom family. The matter was already like this. Since he was definitely not going to get better, he definitely didn't want these people better off.

Everything the doctor said, the officials of the county government had already investigated in the village in advance, and the county magistrate naturally knew about it.

Not long after, the doctor from the town's medical clinic that the official sent to invite also came. As soon as the doctor came, he went to feel the pulse of the old lady Lin who was kneeling on the ground, and then bowed to the county magistrate: "My lord, this old lady is really There is no physical discomfort and no serious illness."

"Yes." The magistrate nodded in response.

The truth soon came to light. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Lin yelled frantically: "Sir, this is all our family affairs. They are my sons. They should be filial to their parents. I will ask them for money." If you ask too much, there is no problem. They dare to sue us to the Yamen, and I will also sue them for being unfilial."

These days, no matter how wrong Mrs. Lin has done, if Wang and Lin Guangfu sue Mrs. Lin to the Yamen, it will be unacceptable to the public.

At this time, Xu Qiu kindly said from the side: "Old lady, you are thinking too much. It was not the father-in-law who sued you to the yamen, but my Xu family who sued you for extortion."

"You want so much silver taels, but your father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have any. Even if it's Lin Qu's business, you don't earn a few hundred taels. You are clearly here for our Xu family. Our family married a brother and came back. The dowry is also generous, and there is no reason to be bullied like this, asking for 500 taels for a while, and thousands of taels for a while."

Wang's and Lin Guangfu's positions are not good enough to do too much, but Xu Qiu can do more here.

Even if he married Lin Qu, according to current people's understanding, although it might cause some discussion among the public, there is no need to put up with the old Lin family.

The old lady Lin obviously knew it too, she stared at Xu Qiu, said "you you" for a long time, but couldn't say anything.

The county magistrate patted the gavel: "Do you have anything else to say?"

The old lady Lin was lying on the ground, dripping with tears. After such a toss, the sick makeup on her face had long been disfigured. She turned around and grabbed Lin Guangfu who was beside her, staring at her intently, her hands were trembling: "Second brother, I'm your own mother, you can't be disrespectful, just ignore it like this, tell them for me, Xu Qiu and Lin Qu are so filial to you, as long as you speak, they will definitely I won't pursue it."

Lin Guangfu also didn't expect that things would turn out like this. In court, even if he didn't make any mistakes, he was always worried.

His hands were tightly clenched, and the nails that were holding him were sunk into the flesh, and there were bursts of pain. The mother in front of her was in a state of embarrassment, her hair was messed up, and she begged him pitifully, but he didn't answer for a long time. , and the tone became more anxious and threatening.

Before he thought about it, the person in front of him who said he was his own mother would accuse him of being unfilial.

There are all kinds of past.

There was a lot of commotion in the courtroom, and Mrs. Zhao didn't go over and grabbed Lin Guangfu and Mrs. Wang's hands, and kept begging, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, please forgive us for this once, I promise I will never target you again, we Let's get along well together, we are all a family, how can you bear to see mother and us like this."

"Okay." The gavel slapped on the hall, and the county magistrate's majestic voice came: "There is no reason to make noise in the courtroom, what kind of place do you think this is?!"

Immediately, yamen servants on both sides came forward and pulled Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Lin aside.

Kneeling together, Wang and Lin Guangfu pulled Lin Guangfu lightly under the cover of the hanging sleeves. There were still tears in her eyes, she looked up at Lin Qu and Xu Qiu, and whispered: "Brother Qu! .”

Then he didn't say anything, just watched with a pair of eyes.

Although he didn't say much, everyone present, including those who watched the case outside, knew that Wang wanted to intercede for his family.

Lin Guangfu didn't quite understand why his wife pulled him suddenly. His mind was in a mess, and he didn't know whether he should intercede. It was because of Wang's pull that he subconsciously looked at Wang, and then followed Wang's movements He fell in love with Lin Qu and Xu Qiu.

On the surface, he and Wang are the same.

Lin Qu didn't speak, but his mind was quite flexible. He knew very well that there were some things Xu Qiu could do, but his parents, including himself, couldn't do them, so he also looked at Xu Qiu. , the expression on his face was a bit unbearable: "Or..."

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged to the other side by Xu Qiu: "My lord, this old Lin family deliberately ruined the reputation of our Xu family in the village, even though they kept saying that they were just asking my father-in-law for money. , but they are talking about my Xu family. However, when I approached Mrs. Lin to see a doctor, and said that no matter what medicine the doctor wanted to prescribe, I was willing to take full responsibility here, and they still didn’t agree. willing."

"And in the days that followed, it got even worse. Many people in the village were incited by him to come to my clinic and say some unclear words, which affected the business of the clinic and ruined my business. reputation."

"The reason is that they are my husband's relatives, and they didn't extort money after all. The old lady is not too young, and I don't want to pursue it too much. But the other two, please adults can deal with it fairly."

In fact, regarding the relationship between the three of them, Xu Qiu also checked the relevant laws. The money was not extorted, and their losses were not big. Pleading, not much use.

At most, the number of boards played may be a little less, and it will save the old lady from being too old. If she really plays well, she will have to go to the doctor.

It can also create a favorable image for him in the outside world.

"No." Mrs. Lin immediately said: "This matter is all planned by my old lady, and has nothing to do with Brother Qiong."

The doctor couldn't see them having a good time, especially seeing that they would not be punished too severely, but he himself might not be able to save his life.He was even more unwilling: "It has nothing to do with him. The person who threatened me to go with you, but it was this brother who did it. In my opinion, maybe all these things were planned by them."

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhao froze, their eyes were blank for a moment, and they recalled in their minds that it seemed that it was Brother Qiong who really proposed these things first.

Whether Lin Qu's business was too good, or the old lady pretended to be sick and asked for expenses, Brother Qiong seemed to mention it without any trace, and then they took action.

But now is not the time to think about it, Mrs. Lin first scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could a child as young as him know so much? It's just me, an old woman, who wanted to learn embroidery for Brother Qu. After spending so much money, seeing the life of the second room that I didn't like at the beginning getting better and better, so I felt dissatisfied, so I came up with this idea."

"It has nothing to do with my brother Joan."

But even if she said so, the change in their expressions before was noticed by others.

"Okay." The county magistrate concluded: "This brother threatened the doctor to cooperate with you. No matter what, he can't escape punishment."

"But it's because you didn't get much money, and you still have a painful understanding, so I won't punish you too severely."

"How about this, Mrs. Wang and Lin Guangfu, how much money did they get from you?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Guangfu said: "If you go back to your lord, the total should be about 23 taels."

At first, the old Lin family forcibly snatched more than five taels from them, and then after the disturbance became more violent, they obeyed Lin Qu's words and gave away what was left in their hands. The total amount was only about 23 taels.
