Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"I've figured it out." Lin Hongxiang said, "I don't want to divorce. I don't want to give up my position to her."

"Okay, then you take Luo Laofeng back."

After the two men left, Yang Zheng and Qi Renli came in from outside.

Yang Zheng guessed: "Luo Laofeng's wife didn't agree, right?"

Meng Changqing nodded.

"If I were that woman, I would just take this opportunity to stay away from such a family." Qi Renli had already learned about this matter from Yang Zheng. "Since that man has proposed the idea of ​​divorce, he has no intention of continuing to live a good life. There will definitely be trouble when he returns."

"That's their business." Meng Changqing touched her stomach. "At this time, I wonder if the kitchen has prepared afternoon tea? Bafang!" She shouted to the outside again, "Look around and see if there's anything to eat. I'm hungry."

Yang Zheng took out a handful of fried soybeans from the cloth bag and said, "My lord, have some of this first."

"I don't like eating this. It's hard on my teeth." Although he said this, Meng Changqing had already taken the soybeans.

Yang Zheng grabbed another handful for Qi Renli, and the three of them sat down around the long table and started eating with the half pot of hot tea in front of them.

"At this time, every household is preparing for the autumn harvest, but Luo Laofeng has some free time." Qi Renli sighed.

"My guess is that this happened because someone had their eyes on the crops in his field." Yang Zheng was getting to know a certain type of people better and better. "When we tried to invite them over, they were reluctant to leave. Now that they see their relatives living a good life here, how can they not be jealous? Naturally, they have to think of a way to get some back."

"If you ask me, sir, you shouldn't bother with these trivial matters," Yang Zheng said.

Meng Changqing bit the soybeans without saying anything.

Qi Renli also said, "It is really not good to interfere in family affairs. I didn't think so before, but now I get along with them more. I have also encountered conflicts in the family. I have tried to mediate, but in the end I was the one who was neither a good person nor a good person.

It can be seen that even an honest judge cannot judge family affairs."

Meng Changqing counted the beans in his hand and said, "Captain Yang, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but it's hard to understand." Yang Zheng frowned, "That's what you said. In the long run, you are also doing this for the good of Luo Laofeng's family, but some people only care about the present. Who knows, they might even blame you for not wanting to give up the two acres of land.

It's not worth it for you to make them complain about such trivial matters."

"What is a small matter and what is a big matter? To us, it is just a conflict within a farmer's household, but to the parties involved, it is a major event that can change their lives.

Now that I know about this, I have to take care of it. Only when these things are handled by the government can people have a basis and reference for future events.” Meng Changqing thought, “If I deal with these things every day, it might not be a bad thing.”

What they expected about what happened to the Luo family was exactly right.

When Luo Laofeng saw that Hongxiang refused to divorce, he never treated her well, and even the two children in the family were looked down upon.

Hongxiang's days are getting sadder and sadder.

At the beginning, I still remember what Meng Changqing said. This family belongs to her half, and she has worked hard to get the life she has today.

But as time went on, she couldn't help but feel like giving up. If she had agreed to divorce, would her life not have been so miserable?
The autumn harvest is approaching, and other families are busy preparing farm tools for harvesting.

Hongxiang was not in the mood.

In early August, Meng Changqing began to monitor the autumn harvest in various parts of the county. He would go out before dawn every day and return only after dark.

When Meng Changqing came back that day, he had just fetched some water to wipe his face when Fang He, who was on duty, came to report that Luo Laofeng and Lin Hongxiang had been waiting in the county government office for several hours and said they wanted to divorce.

"Really?" Meng Changqing wiped his face without stopping, "Take him to Captain Yang and have him do it for them."

Fang He asked in surprise: "You won't persuade me anymore?"

Meng Changqing wrung out the towel and wiped off the dust on his body. "I came here with a clear conscience. There is no need to persuade me." (End of this chapter)
