Zhou Chunfang did not die, mainly because Li Jingtai was only nine years old and his strength was limited at this age, but Zhou Yuanwai was still in a coma.
When Li Jinghe lowered his head and heard this, he kowtowed and said, "Sir, let the widowed mother of the grassroots make the decision."
This is really heartbreaking.
It was difficult to explain clearly what happened in front of the widow's door. The county magistrate frowned and looked at the Zhou family's lawyer.
Lawyer Zhou’s family was also confused!
This lawsuit was going to be lost. He knew the terms of the law very well. Not to mention that he was a widow. Whenever a man and a woman were incompatible with each other, the law stipulated that the woman's words would serve as evidence.
In other words, the Zhou family insists that Zhou Yuan is using his power externally, and the county magistrate will definitely judge the Zhou family as a loser.
The lawyer cursed in his heart. He glanced at Li Jinghe. He was so scheming at a young age. He was going to be in trouble.
Thinking of this, he cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Sir, let the student ask again."
The county magistrate had taken advantage of the Zhou family, and he must give face to the lawyer at this time. The wooden door fell with a snap: "The trial will be held in the afternoon, and the relevant persons are not allowed to leave the Yamen."
After saying this, the magistrate got up and went to the back hall.
The lawyer quickly called Zhou's family out and asked about the process in a low voice. In the end, he almost slapped his thigh and explained the law in detail. Now Zhou Yuanwai is still in a coma and has no way of knowing what happened that day. If this continues, he will definitely lose.
.
"What should we do?" Mrs. Zhou also came and asked anxiously.
The lawyer clasped his fists: "Old madam, as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The Li family is very poor. I put it here before the law. The best way is to talk in private. If the county magistrate decides, I'm afraid
In the end, Yuanwai Zhou will be charged."
Mrs. Zhou is so angry that she is not afraid of anything else. Her daughters will not be able to hold their heads high in their husband's family in the future. If there is still a daughter in the family who has not been married, marriage will be difficult.
There's no benefit at all.
"That bitch will open her mouth like a lion!" Mrs. Zhou said angrily.
The lawyer stopped talking.
The girls who accompanied Mrs. Zhou immediately sat down to discuss. They thought more. In addition to such a big scandal in their parents' family, their children would also be affected. This would be too embarrassing.
After discussing it for a long time, Mrs. Zhou sighed: "Let the lawyer go over and talk."
The lawyer cupped his fists and bowed: "I can't talk about it. Since it's private, the old lady still makes the decision. We can talk to the Yamen."
"Okay! I really don't know what I'm paying you for!" Mrs. Zhou got up and walked out.
The lawyer's face darkened and he looked at Mrs. Zhou without saying anything.
Li Jinghe and Mrs. Zhou squatted in the corner of the Yamen.
Zhou's legs were weak and she leaned against the wall. She lowered her voice and asked Li Jinghe: "Is this really possible?"
"Okay, mom, don't worry. If it doesn't work, the county magistrate won't give the Zhou family time." Although Li Jinghe was unsure, at this point, he could only leave it to fate whether it would succeed or not.
When Mrs. Zhou came out of the house, Li Jinghe immediately became nervous: "Mom, if you come here to have a private discussion, I will never agree without fifty taels!"
Mrs. Zhou swallowed her saliva and her eyes lit up. Looking at Mrs. Zhou who came over, she saw that all the money was just in vain.
"Bitch! Now that we've reached this point, let's wait and see who goes to jail!" Mrs. Zhou said through gritted teeth.
Mrs. Zhou was agitated, looked at Mrs. Zhou's appearance, and suddenly looked at Li Jinghe, this was not a private conversation, this was just to scare herself.
Li Jinghe stood up and said, "Don't scare us. I'm following the law. My mother insisted that Zhou Yuan was a gangster. Even if you keep using your money, it will be wasted. I will take my mother all the way."
Keep it going! Are barefoot people afraid of people wearing shoes?"
This sentence hit Mrs. Zhou's Achilles' heel.
Li Jinghe was the most observant and immediately said: "Now it's not whether your Zhou family will spare us or not, but how we will fight with the Zhou family! Don't scare us. If we are embarrassed to this extent, what dignity do we have?"
Mrs. Zhou was choked to the point of being unable to speak. She gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you want?"
"One hundred taels!"
"Fifty taels!"
After Li Jinghe finished speaking, Zhou also shouted.
"Okay!" Mrs. Zhou nodded with her hand at Mr. Zhou and Li Jinghe: "You have actually made a plan!"
Li Jinghe gouged out Mrs. Zhou's eyes and stopped taking on Madam Zhou's fault.
Mrs. Zhou was exposed on the spot and stamped her foot: "Thirty taels!"
"Dream! One hundred taels!" Li Jinghe immediately raised his voice and said.
Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to speak anymore. Who would be afraid of too much money?
Mrs. Zhou said in a conspiratorial tone: "Aren't you afraid that your life will be taken or your life will be spent?"
"Mrs. Zhou wants to settle the matter, but you don't have to agree." Li Jinghe was sure that Mrs. Zhou would give in. What's the point of hearing a few unpleasant words when you have money to get?
Mrs. Zhou was so angry that her heart ached, and she pointed at Mrs. Zhou: "You said fifty taels!"
"I made a mistake!" Zhou said immediately.
Mrs. Zhou's face was livid: "Don't bite your nose! If you want fifty taels, take it away. If you don't want us, we will continue the lawsuit. Now that the old man is unconscious, I don't believe he can't wake up. When he wakes up, the truth will be revealed."
!”
"Don't be confused. Even if Zhou Yuanwai wakes up, so many people are watching what he does. My mother abides by women's ethics and everyone in the Li family village can testify that I am not afraid of him doing evil in my house!" Li Jinghe snorted coldly.
: "Don't want to part with the money? OK! For eighty taels, I will release my Jingtai immediately."
Mrs. Zhou came here to negotiate peace, and reluctantly agreed to give Li Jingtai eighty taels of silver and let Li Jingtai go.
After getting what he wanted, Li Jinghe almost fainted. He had never seen so much money in his life!
Biting the tip of his tongue, Li Jinghe stretched out his hand: "Bring it here!"
As soon as Mrs. Zhou turned around and left, a woman dressed as a servant soon brought eighty taels of silver. The silver was very scattered, and needless to say, it was all collected by the Zhou family.
The lawyer went to the Yamen to discuss the matter and settled the matter privately, and Li Jingtai was released.
The three mothers left Luwu County like thieves, walking quickly with their heads down, as if they were afraid of losing their money.
Mrs. Zhou was not willing to give up. She arrived at Lijiazhuang in a mule cart first. Her mother-in-law banged the broken basin and shouted in the street: "You are a shameless bitch of the Li family. You have extorted money!"
This shouting made the people in Lijiazhuang feel as if they had been beaten to death.
When Mrs. Zhou entered the village with her two sons, she was stunned.
The villagers were afraid that Zhou's wife would run away, so they moved the rope and trapped her. They pushed them into Li's house. Li Hu was the first to stretch out his hand: "Pay back the money!"
Zhou's eyes were filled with tears: "Were you all deaf or blind at that time? Fang Qingshi left with famine when the family was separated! What kind of money do you want from us?"
"You shameless old man! The bastard you created yourself has deceived everyone, and your family has teamed up to deceive your daughter-in-law! If I don't beat you, you are just too stubborn! What else are you looking for? Let her know what retribution is for this world!
"Li Hu's wife yelled, "How can these women be so polite? They rushed up like a swarm of bees!"
