Just when He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye were about to walk over and say hello to Mrs. Mo, Mo Jiuye, who had excellent hearing, suddenly heard chaotic sounds in the distance.
This sound does not announce the coming danger, it seems to be the cries of ghosts and howls of the Cui family...
At the same time, there was also the sound of running footsteps of Zhou family members outside the courtyard wall.
"I heard that a group of officials are coming to Cui's house. Let's go and have a look."
"Hurry up, we're going late and there won't be a good seat."
"With so many cries, the Cui family will probably be in trouble..."
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran looked at each other and walked out of the yard at the same time.
It's not that they are gossipy and like to watch other people's jokes, they mainly want to know more about the Cui family's situation so that they can buy the yard and land at the foot of the mountain from them as soon as possible.
When the two arrived near Cui's house, the place was already crowded with villagers watching the fun.
The Cui family members cried and begged for mercy with increasing intensity.
"Master, that was Cui Wen's doing. It has nothing to do with me. You can't treat me like this!"
"Master, please just let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother at home who I have to honor."
"Master, please, please spare me this time..."
The official was very impatient and kept waving his whip at the Cui family.
"Shut up, I know how to beg now. Why didn't you think that you would be here today when you did the bad things?"
The whip fell on more than a dozen members of the Cui family, causing the cries to rise again.
This kind of scene is simply very satisfying for the Zhao and Zhou clan members.
The Cui family has done many evil things and finally received retribution.
I thought I would just arrest a few Cui family members, but unexpectedly, those officials turned around and looked for the two clan leaders Zhao and Zhou.
The two patriarchs looked confused and didn't know what the Cui family's crime had to do with them.
In front of the officials, the two of them looked trembling.
"My lord, what do you have to say to us?"
The official said loudly: "The county magistrate has said that if anyone from the Cui family or someone from your family is not willing to continue living, the man can directly divorce his wife, and the woman can ask for a divorce."
Not long after the officer finished speaking, three women ran out in the direction of the Cui family.
The three of them knelt down in front of the official: "Master, we all want to make peace."
After saying that, the three of them did not forget to glare hard in the direction of the Cui family behind them.
He Zhiran took a look at the three women. If nothing else, their patched dresses seemed out of place with the Cui family.
This shows how difficult it was for them to marry into the Cui family.
Just as He Zhiran was thinking, several people also ran towards the direction of the Zhao family and the Zhou family.
Several people found their girls, hugged them and cried bitterly.
"Er Ni, it was your parents who were cowardly, and that's why you suffered the grievances of more than two years in the Cui family. Now it's better. The county magistrate allows you to reconcile, and we will settle the matter today."
"Qiao Xing, those beasts from the Cui family are trying to manipulate you. Let's make peace with them today."
"It's great. My daughter finally doesn't have to suffer in the Cui family. Don't worry. When you return home, your parents and your brothers will take care of you."
While several people were holding their daughters and crying bitterly, in the crowd of the Zhao family and the Zhou family, accompanied by the women's wild wails and howls, a few tall and strong men dragged a few inhuman-looking women to the officials.
Several men threw the women to the ground.
"Master, we want to divorce our wives. Even if we can't get a wife in this life, we don't want the daughter of the Cui family."
"Yes, we will kill the Cui family daughter."
Seeing the firm tone of some men, several girls from the Cui family also stopped crying.
A chubby young woman stood up, came to a man from the Zhao family, raised her hand and tried to pull his arm.
"Zhao Yushan, it's your blessing that I marry you, don't be shameless."
Zhao Yushan ducked back suddenly, no longer able to swallow his anger as before.
"I, Zhao Yushan, don't need this kind of blessing, you should go back to your Cui family!"
Cui was not convinced and continued to move forward, intending to tear Zhao Yushan apart.
"Don't forget, I gave birth to two sons for you."
Zhao Yushan sneered: "So what if my two sons take your last name?"
The other girls from the Cui family who were brought out also tried to pull their husbands away. It could be seen from their behavior that they often used this kind of tricks.
When the official saw that the scene had become chaotic, he shouted loudly, and the surrounding area became slightly quieter.
Finally, someone supported them. The two clan leaders, Zhao and Zhou, were afraid that things would change, so they immediately ordered people to go back and get pen and paper, and wrote letters of divorce to several of the Cui girls in public, and immediately removed their names from the family tree.
The marriage of several girls who married into the Cui family is a little more troublesome. Not only do they need the help of the clan leader to write the letter of marriage, but they also have to go to the Yamen to stamp it with a big seal before it will take effect.
For this reason, the natal families of several women immediately decided to go to the Yamen with the officials and must make peace with the Cui family today.
The officials are also unambiguous. No matter what they have done to help Cui Wen, now that the new county magistrate has arrived, they must obey the new magistrate. Only in this way can they atone for their crimes.
Therefore, the officials worked very efficiently. After tying up the Cui family members who had committed crimes, they hurried back to the Yamen.
The Cui family suddenly lost their arrogance as they saw more than a dozen clan members being taken away, and there were also so many divorced women and divorced men.
Even if some people habitually want to yell at the Zhao family and the Zhou family, they no longer have the courage to do so after seeing their different eyes.
After more than ten years, Zhao and Zhou finally felt proud and proud in Xiling Village.
They no longer have to worry about being squeezed and bullied by the Cui family, and their days will definitely get better and better in the future.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye saw that the official officers had escorted people away. Before the crowd dispersed, they returned to their homes and continued to be busy with home affairs.
As expected, as they expected, towards evening, the oxcarts came and went several times before all the goods in the warehouse were transported back.
Carrying so many things back in one day surprised the Zhao and Zhou clansmen.
They knew that the Cui family was wealthy, but they had never purchased so many things like the Mo family had just settled here.
And looking at the things those people moved down, almost all of them were things they had never seen before.
It's no wonder that people who were once high-ranking officials in the capital still have good background even if they are exiled.
Both families are glad that the Mo family did not compromise with Cui Wen, otherwise, they would not have been assigned to Xiling Village, and it would be impossible for these poor people to gain experience at home...
