"Since you feel that your daughter has been wronged by the Liu family and want to make peace with each other, I won't stop you. But our Liu family spent a lot of money on the appointment in the first place. When your daughter got married, we didn't lack food and drink for her. Now.
If you want to make peace, do you have to pay back the original betrothal gift?"
Listening to Father Liu's tone, Bai Yunxi almost laughed out loud.
"Since you proposed to return the betrothal gift, let's make a good calculation. I don't deny that I received a dowry gift of five guans from your family, but my daughter was beaten to a bone by you at your house. Not only did she lose her child, she almost lost her.
Xiao Ming, this account must be settled."
"Also, the money we spent on treating our daughter cannot be left behind. Although I have a bill here, for the sake of fairness, my daughter went to Baohe Hall in the town for medical treatment and medicine throughout the whole process. You can find out how much it cost.
It also saves me from wrongly accusing you."
Bai Yunxi stared at the Liu family with a serious face and snorted in her heart.
Now that the two families have broken up, she has to actively fight for her own interests. She didn't care what happened in the past, but now she only cares about the present, and no one can let her suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.
It doesn't matter whether she is being defensive or unreasonable, but if she is to be subdued, it is absolutely impossible.
After all, she is also the one sitting at the head of the negotiation table. Will she be intimidated by such a small scene?
Not to mention the financial dispute over five guan of money, even if it were more, she would still argue with it.
As for whether she feels guilty or not, that is a matter for the original owner and his wife. She is just a substitute. If God wants to punish her, he should punish the original owner and his wife not to be reincarnated.
She punished them to continue to live in the underworld, and it was just a good time to see how she trained the children to live.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi slightly raised his chin, puffed out his chest, and spoke with great momentum.
"If you can't figure out this matter clearly, you can still choose to go to the official and let him investigate. This way, it will save you and I two quarrels."
As soon as Bai Yunxi said this, the Liu family immediately became stunned. He agreed with Heli just because he didn't want to see the official. But Bai Yunxi opened and closed his mouth and poked their lungs. He was so angry that he couldn't refute.
Father Liu clenched his fists, his face trembled, and after a while he spoke in a deep voice,
"Forget it, they say that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with family affairs. If our two families' affairs are separated, it will not be clear for a moment. In this case, let's just treat the two children as having ended their fate, and let's not talk about anything else."
Listening to Liu's father's high-sounding tone, Bai Yunxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and acquiesced.
The affairs of the Liu family are suitable for cutting the knot with a quick knife. It will not do any good to their family to deal with such people.
As for the spectators, she didn't care what they thought, but if she could tell someone to compromise, she must have a guilty conscience.
The matter of reconciliation was decided in this way. Even if Liu Dalang was unwilling, he had to go to the town government office to go through the reconciliation procedures.
Speaking of town offices, Baiyun Xi had to admire one thing. Although it was popular during this period that imperial power did not extend to the county, considering the inconvenience for ordinary people to go to the county seat, the county magistrate set up town offices in every town.
Of course, the people who usually sit in charge of the town government are local landowners, who are also the Baozheng and elders designated by the county government. The Baozheng assists in collecting taxes, and the elders assist in hunting down thieves.
This also includes dealing with some neighborhood disputes, including sealing the letter of separation.
When the two families showed up at the town government office, they happened to catch up with Zhang Baozheng sitting in charge. Looking at the serious faces of the two families, they asked about the situation and wrote a letter of departure on the spot.
