The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1168 Make up your mind
The room was very quiet for a while.
Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong have lived in the care of love since they were young. Although they have faced conspiracies and tricks because of their status, those people are not their relatives, so they will not be sad about it. People will kill their relatives for 20 acres of land and more than 30 taels of silver.
The only sound in the room was Zhao’s weeping.
Xiao Bao didn’t know how to comfort her, but Xiao Xiong suppressed his voice and said angrily: “Then go to the police to arrest them and send them all to prison.”
Mrs. Zhao shook her head again and again, “No, if you report to the government, the clan will definitely hate our mother and daughter, and we will not be able to survive in the village.”
Little Treasure felt a pain in his chest, knowing that what she said was right, “If you bear it this time, they will definitely attack again. Next time, next time, will she still have such good luck to escape?”
Zhao’s body froze, unable to speak.
She made up her mind early on that if the clan wanted to protect her second uncle, she would risk her life to avenge her daughter, but now that her daughter is still alive, there is nothing more important than her life.
Xiaobao grabbed the little bear who was about to talk, and said: “You have one night to think about it, and if you make up your mind the next day, let us know, and I will help if I can. We are just passing by, and we can’t be in the same place. Stay too long.”
Mrs. Zhao stared blankly at the sleeping daughter on the bed.
Xiaoxiong followed Xiaobao back to the room, and said angrily: “Why do you stop me, killing people and paying for their lives? If everyone let the criminals for various reasons, then what’s the use of asking me to follow the law?”
“Why don’t I know? However, the power of the clan is greater than the law, and it has been the case in all dynasties. Even if she sues her mother-in-law and second uncle to the yamen now, she will not be accepted by the clan afterwards, and she will not be able to survive in this village.” Xiaobao said in a deep voice: “The law is to restrain people’s behavior, so that the wronged people can be avenged, and then live a better life, but now she can’t live well by following the law.”
“Is this a fault of the law?”
“Of course it’s not the fault of the law,” Xiao Bao sighed, “it’s the fault of the clan’s power over the law.”
Niu Niu is not dead, so the people will not sue the officials and will not investigate. Even if Niu Niu died, the Zhang clan and the people in this village deliberately concealed it. As long as the Zhao family is detained, the yamen will have no way of knowing about it, and her death will not be over. Let it go.
What’s more, it was her own grandmother and second uncle who wanted to kill her.
Xiao Bao frowned and said: “Actually, the power of the clan has been weakened compared to the Jin and Tang Dynasties, but it is still not enough. We can’t be radical, otherwise it will only backfire.”
Little Xiong scratched his head and said: “Don’t worry about the relationship between the clan and the imperial court, let’s think about how to solve this matter. If we really want to let it go, maybe we go ahead and they die behind. This is two lives. “
Xiaobao lowered his eyes, knocked on the table and said: “It’s actually very simple. Mrs. Zhao can take her daughter and leave here to work as a servant in the county town, or find other jobs to support herself and her daughter, plus the money left by Zhang Dazhu.” Savings, it is not difficult to live. Then I went to the Yamen to report to the officials and arrested her mother-in-law and second uncle. The attempted murder was sentenced according to the law of the dynasty. It is to travel five hundred miles and become a slave. This is the worst policy.”
“What about the best policy?”
“The best strategy is to persuade Zhang’s family to voluntarily send her mother-in-law and Zhang Erzhu to the government, or agree to let Niu Niu marry, or wait for Niu Niu to grow up and adopt a stepson to inherit the incense.”
“It’s impossible,” Little Bear said without thinking, “Since they didn’t agree to Mrs. Zhao’s request before, it’s even more impossible to agree now, unless,” Little Bear rolled his eyes and said, “Unless we reveal our identities and use the power to oppressive.”
“You can suppress people with power for a while, but not forever.” Xiaobao said.
“So we can only do something wrong?”
“Look at Zhao’s choice,” Xiaobao felt that this was just their idea, and everyone had their own way of living. They thought it was a strategy for the sake of Zhao’s mother and daughter, and they might not appreciate it.
Mrs. Zhao was thinking about what to do with her, and the members of the Zhang family outside were also discussing what to do with their mother and child.
The village chief looked at Zhang’s patriarch bitterly and said, “Look at the chaos in your clan. Once it gets out, our whole village will be looked at strangely.”
Patriarch Zhang gritted his teeth and said, “Those people said that Niuniu was suffocated or suffocated? Dazhu Niang clearly said that the child was sick.”
Obviously determined not to admit it.
The village chief gritted his teeth and said, “I believe you, but they don’t. If you really want to report to the officials, do you think Erzhu and the others can escape?”
Patriarch Zhang lowered his eyes and said: “Niu Niu is the blood of the Zhang family, and her life belongs to the Zhang family. It’s not up to a group of outsiders to decide. Dazhu is dead, and the Zhao family is still young. I don’t think she can keep it. You can find another husband’s family for her to marry off…”
The guards were just curious about what this group of people said together, and when they heard this, their chests were filled with anger.
They felt that they were guards in the palace, and they had seen and heard a lot of nasty things. They didn’t expect to see such disgusting things in the simple countryside. They were warmly welcomed when they arrived last night. Fearing that they would stay outside in the cold, they gave them the quilts from home to cover them.
People still say that country people are simple, but such a simple group of people are now planning to kill a child and marry a poor widow to another widower.
The eavesdropping guards glanced at each other, quietly left the roof, and returned to the house to report to the two little masters.
Xiao Bao looked at them speechlessly. There were so many guards who ran out to eavesdrop tonight. He dared to swear that standing on a high place and looking down, there must be people lying on the roofs of half of the houses in the village.
Xiao Bao rubbed his forehead, and said: “You go to Zhao Shi, tell her these words, don’t report them to me, by the way, where is the second young master?”
The guard said excitedly: “Second Young Master is still on the roof. He has eavesdropped on two houses, and now he has gone to another house.”
Xiao Bao twitched the corner of his mouth and said: “It’s almost dawn, call them all back, don’t let anyone find out.”
“Eldest Young Master, don’t worry, with Second Young Master’s skill, no one will find out.” The guard said confidently.
Xiaobao turned around and left. He only hated that he hadn’t mastered his kung fu, so he could only watch people running out to eavesdrop.
In the room, Mrs. Zhao covered her face and wept after listening to the guard’s words, and inadvertently looked up to see the sympathy in the guard’s eyes.
pity!
Is she going to live her whole life with such eyes?
No, no, if these people leave, she may really be forced to marry by her husband’s family. At that time, every day will not work, and the earth will not work. The daughter stays alone in Zhang’s house. Even if she does not die, she will not be able to live well. That being the case, it would be better if the fish die and the net is broken, even if their mother and daughter go to the underworld, they can still meet with their husbands!
Zhao wiped away her tears and rushed out, so fast that the guards didn’t even stop her.
