Chapter 164 (1/2)
Su wennuan's chest fluctuated sharply, then took a few deep breaths, turned to old Taijun Fang, and recovered her usual calm. She saluted gently and sighed: ”Old lady, aunt Jiang is really wrong today, but for the sake of brother Chuan's sake, let her go this time. If she had just insisted on letting brother Chuan lie to the end in order to protect herself, I wouldn't say such a thing, but since she was soft hearted, I would beg for her favor for the sake of being a good mother. Old lady , don't refute your granddaughter-in-law's face, will you? ”
Old Fang Taijun looked at Su wennuan and heard her last sentence with some jokes. He couldn't help but wet his eyes and sighed: ”good boy, it's clear that you're suffering the most at the moment. Don't forget to pretend to be relaxed. Alas! It's too wronged you.”
Su wennuan felt a little wet in his eyes, so he quickly wiped them with a handkerchief, came to old Tai Jun Fang and said with a smile: ”The old lady still understands me. My granddaughter-in-law is really suffocated, but after listening to the old lady's words, she suddenly becomes more cheerful. Old lady, brother Chuan is still young and can't live without his aunt. You can't look at the monk's face and Buddha's face. Besides, there are a number of people. I'm the victim of this lawsuit. Why don't the old lady sell me, a Shunshui man ”Love?”
”Listen to her.” old lady Fang pointed to Su wennuan and sighed at the crowd. Mrs. Yang quickly said with a smile: ”wennuan also makes sense, but aunt Jiang really doesn't know the rules. The meaning of her daughter-in-law is that although the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime can't be forgiven...”
She didn't wait to finish. Su wennuan was ”filled with righteous indignation” and said, ”yes, my wife was right, so she was fined six months of monthly silver as a punishment.”
Duan Tingxuan squints at his wife and thinks that punishing salary is the only way for the imperial court to punish officials. What's the matter with you here? Let aunt Jiang escape so gently and skillfully? Alas! You're still soft hearted. I don't know whether to be happy or angry when I think of this.
Mrs. Yang was speechless. She meant to beat aunt Jiang at least 20 boards. Although she was in her son's room, it was too much to do such a thing today. If you don't punish her well, won't those concubines follow suit in the future? Although she is virtuous, she came all the way in the back house. She has faintly realized that it's not so simple today.
But Su wennuan said, ”if you don't send monthly silver for six months in a row, it seems unreasonable. Do you want them to drink the West and north wind?” when he said this, he looked at Aunt Jiang and said: ”That's all right. I'll punish you for half a year. You're only allowed to receive half of the monthly silver every month, but you have to take out some old clothes and bedding and exchange them for this half of the silver. I just need these things here. By the way, don't forget what you just said. Sister Yun wants 1000 liang of silver, right?”
The people in the hall almost fell down: the man who desperately wanted money still hasn't forgotten to search.
Xu ran was so angry that he almost spewed blood. Today, she really lost her wife and broke her soldiers. Aunt Jiang not only didn't hurt the woman, but she put herself in it. Her life and death had nothing to do with herself, but the thousand Liang silver was not a joke. When she thought about this, the woman couldn't sit still anymore and quickly stood up and said: ”How can I have 1000 liang of silver? Grandma, don't laugh.”
”Don't pretend.” Su wennuan looked with conclusive evidence: ”I know you are a rich man. Others can't take out 1000 liang of silver. My sister can certainly take it out. It's settled. The second younger brothers and sisters take out 3000 Liang. Why can't we let others see a joke?”
”Grandma, I really don't have a concubine.” Xu ranyun burst into tears. She was really scared to cry. If she was forced to pay the money, she wouldn't want to talk and be a man in this house in the future.
”Well, wennuan, don't force her. 1000 liang of silver, isn't it? The money came from Grandma.” old Taijun Fang solved the siege for Xu ranyun, and saw Su wennuan hesitate: ”the old lady is an old Fengjun, only 1000 Liang. Will it be a little less?”
”Bah! You've blackmailed me.” old Taijun Fang laughed and scolded, but heard Su wennuan's words: ”what's blackmail? Daughter-in-law sun is also thinking about the identity and status of the old lady. Otherwise, if people hear that the old lady only paid 1000 liang of silver, they don't know that the old lady is stingy and reluctant. They also say that daughter-in-law sun and her second brother and sister don't know the rules and dare to cross the old lady.”
As soon as Shi Yurou's eyes lit up, she hurried forward and said, ”what my sister-in-law said is reasonable. In that case, my sister-in-law never dared to cross the old lady, so she gave eight hundred Liang...” before she finished, she saw Su wennuan holding Fang's arm and pretending to cry: ”the old lady should pity me. You see, it's not so much. Someone wants to take the opportunity to get out.”
”Well, well, I'll pay 5000 Liang if you cry pitifully and have filial piety in ordinary days.” it's clearly a tense atmosphere, which makes Su wennuan warm up again in three or two sentences. Old Taijun Fang is very happy and is willing to help his favorite granddaughter-in-law support the field. After that, he points to Shi Yurou and smiles, ”can you hear me? Don't you lose a penny.”
Shi Yurou said with a smile on her face, ”yes, since the old lady said so, sun's daughter-in-law has to collect all the money for her sister-in-law even if she smashes the pot and sells iron.” but she cried angrily. She secretly said that she didn't bully people like this. Just gave a glimmer of hope, she ”slapped” people into the abyss again.
