Chapter 199 There is always a heart

Under the courtroom, several people have already knelt down.

A pair of gray-haired elderly people should be Zhong Qinghua and his old woman. Both of them have a sick complexion.

The sadness and anger on his face should be pissed off by some unscrupulous people.

The old woman was still secretly wiping away her tears. It would be better not to have such a son.

There are also four middle-aged couples, presumably their son and daughter-in-law.

Li Mo patted the gavel: "Who is kneeling in the hall?"

This is the opening remark, and Li Mo himself felt awkward because it had to be done like this, and felt that he was not familiar with the business.

Fortunately, the yamen servants are very diligent and clean up frequently, otherwise the courtroom would have been full of dust.

"My lord, the grass man is Zhong Qinghua from Zhongjia Village, and this is my wife Huang." The old man spoke first.

Li Mo saw the pitiful two old people kneeling below, so he hurriedly said, "Liu Li, bring two stools here."

The stool was moved, and Liu Li helped the old man to sit down. The two old people thanked each other repeatedly: "Thank you, sir."

Next is the self-declaration of the brothers.

"I'm Zhong Mingyuan, the eldest in my family."

"I'm Zhong Minghai, the second child in my family."

"I'm Zhong Minglin, the third eldest in my family."

"I'm Zhong Mingtie, the fourth eldest in my family."

Li Mo said solemnly, "Zhong Qinghua, who do you two want to sue?"

Zhong Qinghua said helplessly: "My lord, Caomin is going to sue my four sons and four daughters-in-law. They don't support me and my wife. They don't care. They often scold me."

What are you scolding, it's nothing more than immortality, hurry up and die, don't drag them down.

The old man had just finished a complete sentence, accompanied by a violent coughing sound, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs, which was really heart-wrenching.

Li Mo glanced at Liu Li, unexpectedly this simple man would understand, ran to the back hall, brought a bottle of lung medicine.

Zhong Qinghua burst into tears with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you."

Li Mo said with concern: "Old man, go to the hospital for a checkup later, don't worry, I won't charge you."

Zhong Qinghua was about to kowtow to thank him again, but was held down by Song Min: "Your Excellency doesn't like to come here."

Zhong Qinghua's tears kept rolling in his eyes!

Closer to home.

Li Mo: "Keep talking!"

The poor old man couldn't say a word, and started coughing again.

The old woman was very heartbroken for him, but the four couples kneeling next to her frowned. It was obvious that the coughing sound was bothering them.

The old woman sighed: "Old man, let me speak."

The old woman kowtowed to Li Mo first, but Li Mo couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.

"My lord, our life is hard." Before the old woman could say a few words, she was already sobbing.

Li Mo couldn't bear it: "Old man, why don't you rest for a while?"

The old woman shook her head, took a moment to slow down, and said through gritted teeth, "My lord, even if I die, I will sue them for being unfilial."

The eldest daughter-in-law couldn't help but started yelling, but fortunately Zhong Mingyuan quickly grabbed her and said in a low voice, "This is above the court, don't die."

The eldest daughter-in-law curled her lips: "Those two immortals, don't know how to arrange us!"

Song Min glanced over coldly, and the eldest daughter-in-law quickly lowered her head in fright.

"My lord, the old man and I dragged their four brothers into adulthood with shit and urine, and finally waited until they got married and had children..."

In fact, it is a story about a bed without dutiful sons. The old couple worked hard to bring up their four sons.

It was okay before, the two old people were in good health, and they helped the four unfilial sons with farm work and housework, and they only had food when they were busy.

Normally speaking, in this ancient times, mother-in-law was a very powerful role, controlling daughter-in-law to death, otherwise why there is a saying that a daughter-in-law finally becomes a mother-in-law.

But their family is different. The four daughters-in-law are better than the other. If they want to eat, they can, but they have to work.

Five years ago, the health of the two elders was getting worse every day, and the brothers and sisters began to shirk their responsibilities. Later, they simply didn't give a grain of rice or a penny.

The two old men didn't want to embarrass them, so they insisted on going to the fields to do farm work by themselves, gritting their teeth and persevering.

It's just that this year, the two old bodies are really unable to work, and they have no savings. Even eating has become a problem, and it is even more impossible to go to the hospital to see a doctor.

The village head came out and scolded several times, and the brothers took out a little food as much as feeding a cat, saying that this was the alimony.

But the food given was so little that the village chief couldn't see it, so he secretly took some out from home, otherwise the two elders would have starved to death.

Li Mo slapped the gavel hard, scaring everyone in the hall half of their souls away.

"You four brothers, talk about the reasons for not supporting the elderly."

Four brothers, look at me and I look at you. The four women behind them are very quiet, without any movement.

Li Mo narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Say!"

After a while, there was still no answer.

Li Mo's patience is about to run out: "If you don't say yes, then the sentence will be pronounced directly, and each family will pay one tael of silver a month..."

"My lord, wait a minute." It was the boss Zhong Mingyuan who came out.

"Say."

Zhong Mingyuan: "My lord, it's not that we don't give it, but we do, but they think it's too little."

Li Mo: "How much food do you give each month? They think it's too little."

Zhong Mingyuan said boldly: "One catty!"

Li Mo couldn't believe her ears, and plucked vigorously: "What did you say, how much is it?"

Zhong Mingyuan responded loudly: "Half a catty!"

Li Mo looked at the other three brothers: "What about you?"

The three brothers chattered and said: "We are also a catty."

Li Mo suddenly lost his temper, walked down, kicked each of the four brothers, and then kicked again, still not relieved.

While beating and scolding: "Damn it, did you jump out of a rock? Even your own parents treat you like this, do you have any conscience.

Do you know that what you do today is to set an example for your children. When you are old, they will treat you like this. Your parents today are what you will be like in the future.

Back then, your mother shouldn't have given birth to you, and strangled you to death. Bringing you into this world is a disaster.

Will your conscience hurt?Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?Talk, are you dumb? "

Brothers: It’s touching, and you didn’t give us a chance to talk.

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and the harder the attack. The four brothers who hit him yelled and wanted to fight back, but they didn't dare.

In fact, they couldn't return it at all. Before they could react, Li Mo's fist was already swinging like a hot wheel, and they only had time to hug their heads.

The four women felt distressed when they saw their husband was beaten, and hurried forward to protect him, trying to pull Li Mo away, but Zhou Xing'er and other female yamen servants grabbed him.

Zhou Xing'er picked up the knife in his hand, and said fiercely: "If you move again, I won't be polite, my knife doesn't have eyes."

The four women were so frightened that they took a step back and watched their husband-in-law get beaten badly.

"My lord, this is above the court, how can you beat people indiscriminately." It was the eldest daughter-in-law who spoke, seeing her man being beaten half to death, she turned around anxiously!
Li Mo simply rolled up his sleeves, and punched each of the four brothers again, saying arrogantly: "So what if you are in the courtroom, I can hit you if you want."

The eldest daughter-in-law was dissatisfied: "You know the law and break the law!"

Since last year, masters have been sent into the village to eradicate illiteracy. Now these people can more or less know a few words, and they even know how to know and break the law. Is Li Mo shooting himself in the foot?

Li Mo laughed angrily: "You still know that knowing the law is breaking the law, so what kind of law did you break by not supporting the elderly? Hmm!"

The eldest daughter-in-law: "My lord, we don't fail to support the elderly. We don't give them food on time every month. If we don't support them, we will starve to death. Don't you see that they are still sitting here?"

It means that Li Mo is blind and cannot see.

Li Mo sneered, "Is this enough food?"

The second daughter-in-law curled her lips and said disdainfully, "They're all so old, they're all dead, and it's a waste of food to eat."

Listen, is this what people say?

Li Mo: "From today onwards, you will live in the yamen. You will not be allowed to do anything. I will give you two catties of food a month. If you don't starve to death, then you will continue to honor your parents in your own way!"

The eldest daughter-in-law put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Why do you live in the yamen? I have a home and can't go back. There is so much work at home, why do you help me?"

Song Min said with a straight face, "Pay attention to your attitude."

The eldest daughter-in-law is used to being unruly at home, so how can she be obedient, instead she yelled loudly: "Everyone come to judge, isn't the county magistrate's behavior too much, why?"

Zhong Mingyuan nodded, and agreed, "That's it!"

Li Mo had already returned to his seat, and looked at them coldly: "Song Min, take someone to raid their homes, and only keep two catties of food for one person this month."

Song Min: "Yes!"

Now, they panicked and tried to grab Song Min and not let him leave, but the courtroom was where they ran wild, and they were immediately controlled by the yamen servants.

Zhong Minghai cried with a mournful face: "My lord, you can't be like this, how do you let us live."

Li Mo said suspiciously: "Your parents can live, why can't you?"

Seeing Song Min and others walking out in a mighty manner, several people almost cried.

Even more desperation is yet to come.

Li Mo told the master: "From today onwards, all the preferential policies in Songjiang County have nothing to do with them, and the taxes that should be collected will be collected. The tea tree money, cattle money, and seed money owed before will all be collected. When you come back, you can’t lose a penny, and you will be charged [-]% interest, and the sugar cane grown by their family will not be collected.”

The master asked the doubts in his heart: "What if they don't give money?"

Li Mo: "Then use their houses and the crops in the field to pay for it."

A few were dumbfounded, how could this be?
The old woman didn't expect the result to be like this, and she was also dumbfounded. This was not the result she wanted. Looking at her poor son and daughter-in-law, her heart softened again.

Just about to tell Li Mo that if she doesn't sue, let them both starve to death.

Zhong Qinghua quickly pulled her back, shook his head, and told her not to talk too much. There must be a reason for her to do so.

Sure enough, Zhong Mingyuan took the lead: "My lord, we know we were wrong. We will treat our parents kindly in the future, please forgive us."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed non-stop, with snot and tears, those who didn't know thought he had been wronged so much.

In the end, the family spent 500 Wen and ten catties of rice and one catty of oil every month, vegetables were not counted, and meat was also needed during the holidays.

When the old man is sick, all the expenses of seeing a doctor are shared by everyone.

The old woman can still take care of herself now, and can take care of the old man, and they don't need them to wait on her. However, when the old man can't take care of herself in the future, the family will be responsible for a month.

The village head will act as a supervisor and go to make unannounced visits from time to time.

The yamen will also visit from time to time, and if they find abuse or severe detention, they will directly serve them with severe punishment.

The two elders kept kowtowing to Li Mo to express their thanks: "Thank you, Master Qingtian."

...

After the trial of the case, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally settled."

The master was full of admiration: "My lord's move is really high."

Liu Li disagreed, with regret on his face: "My lord, we haven't raided their homes yet, how could you compromise so quickly?"

Song Min slapped him on the shoulder: "Are you stupid? Your lord just scares them and makes them willingly propose to support their parents."

Liu Li scratched his head: "If you want to scare them, you have to come for real, so that you can achieve your goal. Maybe they will react and say that the county magistrate only scares people, and he is just a paper tiger. There is nothing to be afraid of, which leads to their evil deeds. It will continue, hey, the two old people are poor, maybe they will continue to abuse them after returning home."

Li Mo stroked his smooth chin and nodded in agreement: "Well, what you said makes sense."

Seeing Li Mo agreeing with his words, Liu Li's eyes lit up, he approached, and said mysteriously: "My lord, how about entrusting this task to me, and I will supervise them."

The master was speechless: "You brat, you just want to be lazy."

Li Mo made a decision directly: "Okay, this difficult task is entrusted to you."

This was a blatant job fishing, but Liu Li was so happy that he almost jumped up: "I promise to complete the task assigned by the adults." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away.

At first, the brothers were definitely not convinced, and the daughters-in-law didn't know how they would scold the old man. Sending Liu Li over there would at least serve as a deterrent. Slowly, a good habit would develop. .

Now everyone in Songjiang County is very busy, especially several factories, orders can no longer be delivered on time, so we have to continue to recruit people!
Gradually, there were not enough people in Songjiang County. Not all of them could work in the factory. There are small ones, where can I walk away.

Many people are busy with farm work, weaving products, preserved eggs, and yuba. They also raise a lot of livestock at home.It can be said that they are really busy, and the money they earn is actually no less than the money they earn in the factory.

The refugees who stayed in Songjiang County at the beginning were the priority.

This made everyone happy.

Since the rains have come and the drought is over, they still haven't left.

The reason why they chose to stay in Songjiang County was because of Li Mo's persuasion.

Li Mo's original words are as follows: "In comparison, Songjiang County is better than your hometown. If you think Songjiang County is better, you are welcome to stay."

Coupled with the preferential policies of Songjiang County, they are really tempted. The first three years of land reclamation are exempted from tax.

If you don’t have money to buy seeds and live animals, you can borrow money from the government office without charging any interest. You can also pay in installments and pay it off in three years.

Those who have the conditions can open shops or set up stalls in the county town, and no tax will be charged for the first three months.

As long as they settle in Songjiang County, their children can go to school for free and enjoy the same policies as the locals.

From time to time, people from the logistics company brought taro and carrots back, so Songjiang County began to plant them on a large scale.

What is even more valuable is that they found corn. Although there are only twenty or thirty grains, these are all gold and cannot be exchanged.

When Li Mo saw it for the first time, she almost fainted from excitement.

It's a pity that everyone didn't know what it was, but Lin Ling thought it was strange and wanted to show it to Li Mo.

Many friends may not know that corn is not a native crop of our country, but an imported product. It has not been in my country for a long time. It was introduced into our country about 500 years ago in the late Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, it appeared here. It may be due to parallel lines, and many things cannot be explained clearly.

After asking again and again, I learned that these corn seeds were found in a grocery store, and the shopkeeper couldn't remember where they got them.

Li Mo really wanted to give Lin Ling a warm hug, but in the end she restrained herself and couldn't let her misunderstand her any longer.

The most important thing now is to plant these corns well and see if they can grow seeds in the second half of the year.

...

Songjiang County is busy in full swing, but the capital is not peaceful.

It is now early August and the weather is very hot.

There is no curfew at night in the capital. At this time, the streets are bustling and noisy, with crowds of people, and the streets are wide.
There are many shops and shops on both sides, and the sound of vendors shouting is endless.

Songs and dances, juggling, and noisy music all gathered together in one place.

Street performers performed all kinds of attractive tricks, such as throats with tassels and chests with broken boulders.

On the river passing through the city, lanterns, dragon boats, and fireworks made the night as bright as day, and countless small merchants hawked on the river bank to solicit business.

Selling shredded wine and tobacco, tea, food and clothing, fruits and vegetables, household utensils, fragrant medicines and flowers, rouge fireworks, all pleasing gadgets are all available.

What the common people don't know is that at this time, Chengtianmen, Duanmen, Wumen, Yemen, Chongrongmen, and the five palace gates are closed and locked, and [-] imperial guards are locked outside the palace gates in such a grandiose manner. .

　The chapter on farming has come to an end for the time being, and tomorrow we will start a trip to the capital, focusing on cultivating the relationship between Li Mo and Huangpuxuan.
