The official sent Mrs. Song into the prison and locked the door with iron chains.
Mrs. Song patted the iron fence and shouted outside: "I am really the grandmother of your county magistrate's wife! If you don't believe it, just take me over to find them..."
Several officials ignored her and just went about their own affairs.
"In today's world, there are so many liars. If it is our wife's grandmother, how could it be possible that she has not appeared for so long? Our wife said that she has never seen any grandmother. She is probably dead long ago and is not here.
in this world."
Mrs. Song's face looked ugly.
Tongjia Village is a bit far away from Lujia Village, and the terrain of Tongjia Village is also relatively remote, making it inconvenient to get in and out of the city. Most of the villagers there supply what they need at the market not far away, and rarely come to Hubei City. Especially when they are newly added.
After the city entry tax, fewer people entered the city, so it was only a month later that she learned that the new county magistrate was actually Tong Chunni's son-in-law.
"Where is my daughter? Where did you take her?" Mrs. Song did not see Hu Moli.
"Of course it's an interrogation. If you dare to cheat, you must suffer the consequences."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, he heard a sound of whipping that was particularly loud in the prison. The echo in the prison was good, and the sound of the whip breaking through the air clearly reached Song's ears.
"Ah..." Along with the sound of whipping, there was a scream. It sounded like a woman's voice, a bit like Hu Moli's.
Mrs. Song was frightened.
How do you say just fight?
Even if you don’t believe them, you should let them meet the county magistrate’s wife and punish them after confirming that they are liars! How can you directly torture them?
"Boss, isn't this bad? Even if he is a liar, he should ask the county magistrate's wife." said an official.
"There have been more and more scammers recently. Our wife has to meet more than a dozen scammers every day, which makes her feel bad. Yesterday, my wife told me that if anyone claims to be her relative, I don't need to ask her, I will just give her a beating."
If there was someone who was familiar with Mu Siyu, he would definitely not be deceived by this statement. But Mrs. Song didn't know Mu Siyu well, so she believed the contents of the official's conversation to be true, and was completely frightened.
The sound of whipping lasted for a long time, and the screams quickly disappeared, but this made Mrs. Song even more frightened.
"I... I know I was wrong... I don't want to see the county magistrate's wife anymore... I don't recognize my relatives anymore." Ms. Song patted the iron fence. "Please, let me go, I won't dare to do it again."
Separated by a wall, Hu Moli and Mu Siyu stood there looking at Song's embarrassed appearance. One of them was indifferent, while the other had a complicated mood.
"Are you distressed? If my aunt is distressed, I can let her go now." Mu Siyu said calmly.
Hu Moli shook her head: "I just think... the mountains that my sister and I thought were so powerful and unshakable turned out to be not as powerful as we imagined. Maybe if we were a little tougher at that time, even a little bit, we wouldn't be like this. But my sister is
She is lucky to have such an outstanding daughter like you and such an outstanding son. Her hard days are over."
"Your two daughters are not bad either." Mu Siyu said, "Have you ever thought about making plans for them?"
"I am incompetent, and they have to suffer because of my incompetent mother." Hu Moli sighed softly.
"Not long ago we held a literary and English meeting. At the literary and English meeting, I made some good pastries, which were very popular with the ladies. If An Ning and Quiet can keep their composure and are willing to learn, I can teach them."
"Isn't this... not good? That's your craft, how can they take advantage of you?"
"I will teach them the crafts and pay for the funds to open the store. After the work is completed, the sisters will run the store, and we will divide it 30-70. Three for me, and seven for you." Mu Siyu said, "This way it is not considered an advantage."
Hu Moli knew that she still took advantage.
She has money, skills, and connections. As long as she says a word, countless people will rush to beg her for cooperation. However, she is willing to give this opportunity to sisters An Ning and An Jing because she wants to promote them.
"Siyu, Auntie, thank you." Hu Moli said, "Our whole family will never forget your kindness to our family. From now on, as long as you say a word, we will never hesitate to do anything we can."
"I won't be polite to my aunt."
"Siyu, lock her up for a few more days. Let her out now. She will soon lose her scars and forget about the pain."
"As long as you don't feel bad, it doesn't matter to me. She is just a stranger to me."
"She is my mother, and I can't be cruel to her. But I know her character. If she is not suppressed, with her greed, you will have more troubles in the future. You are officials, but you are
Good people, good people are easy to be caught and passive by others." Hu Moli said, "The child's father told me yesterday to bring her to you, so that An Ningjing can contact your branch in advance, and the rest is to cooperate with your actions.
."
"Uncle is indeed a scholar, and his brain is very good." Mu Siyu smiled lightly, "I did a good job today. If you take her to see my mother, my mother will not be able to do anything except feel wronged."
"If your mother knew..."
"My brother and I are in charge of this family now. No matter how stupid my mother is, she knows who is best to her. Mrs. Song can no longer threaten her. But we still have to guard against her being soft-hearted, so we don't let her know.
good."
Mu Siyu arranged for an official to send Hu Moli to Tong and let her stay with Tong for a few days.
When she passed Jiang's cell, she looked at the old woman huddled in the corner and stopped outside the iron bars.
"The amount you stole is bigger than you thought. I'm afraid it won't be over in just a few years. If you have anything to say, I can convey it to you," Mu Siyu said.
"Are you so kind?" Jiang's voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't drank water for a long time.
"Actually, I'm not so kind. I just see you as pitiful, so I thought it was a good deed." Mu Siyu said, "You don't know the situation at home in prison, so I will be a good person and do my best to tell you about your situation."
What are those precious descendants doing! After your family's belongings were confiscated, the third daughter-in-law you married back at a huge price cursed your precious son as 'not a man' and returned to her parents' home. Your grandson redeemed himself with one thousand taels.
That Du Xiao'e returned to Chunfeng Tower and continued to live the life she was welcomed into."
"Your eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are still thinking of ways to save Mu Zhengyi, but the case Mu Zhengyi committed is more serious than yours, and he may be exiled. You can be his companion, and let you
Together!"
"And your precious granddaughter Mu Sijiao. She abandoned the child at home and ran away without caring about her life or death. No one knows where she went. Your house was already in chaos when everyone found out."
These are what just happened today.
Mrs. Yao drove the ox cart into the city and brought her the vegetables grown at home, chatting a few words along the way.
