Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 171
"Is this how you treat your own brother?" Shi Li asked sharply.

Bao added fuel to the fire beside him, "Yes, big brother, how can you ask the yamen servant to arrest the second brother? We are a family after all, and even if there is something wrong with the second brother, you shouldn't do it! Let others know , what's the difference between you and your slapping your mother's face in public?"

Du Xian blushed, lowered his head and did not speak.

At first Du Xiaoyu saw the slap in the face and was already furious, and now he stepped forward and said, "What does this have to do with my father? Someone pretended to have a bad stomach and wanted to extort money from our restaurant, should he be allowed to go? We just I just want to arrest that person, he is the one who confessed to the second uncle, and father didn't say a word about the second uncle's bad words!"

Du Yi reprimanded, "Your Excellency is talking, it's your turn to interrupt? There are no rules at all!"

Seeing Du Xiaoyu being scolded, Du Xian raised his head and said, "Xiaoyu is right, I didn't know it was the second younger brother who encouraged that person to come to the restaurant to make trouble, and later he was confessed to be a yamen servant to pull him..."

Mrs. Li said angrily, "Would you stop me when you saw the yamen servant pulling people? When did Tang'er show up? He never made trouble in your restaurant, even if that person confessed, you wouldn't accuse him of talking nonsense? I think you just want to drag Tang'er into the cell! You didn't beat him to death last time, you were unwilling!"

"Mother, where did you say that?" Du Xian was stunned, why did he want to kill Du Tang?
Du Yi sighed, shook his head and said, "You guys beat the second brother until his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen. He just came to beg you to show some filial piety to your mother. If you don't agree, it's fine. If the second brother didn't escape, it wouldn't be Are you going to be maimed by those savage relatives of yours?"

She has learned what it means to reverse black and white, Du Xiaoyu really doesn't want to talk nonsense with them!
Zhao Dongzhi couldn't sit still in the house, and when he came out, he happened to hear these words, rushed up and scolded, "You all chewed maggots, your mouths are so stinky! Obviously he was bullying my brother-in-law to be honest, cheating money to pay back his bet Debt, talk about filial piety, you can listen to this kind of nonsense? If you really want to be filial, why would you use your own fields for gambling? Such people will come to persuade others to be filial, do you have any brains?"

What Li Shi said made the faces of the Li family turn blue, and Li Shi glared at Du Xian, "You just let such a shrew call you a mother? Do you still have a conscience? I gave birth to you ten months pregnant, raised you You, is this how you treat me?"

Du Xian was in a dilemma, he didn't want to listen to Li Shi anymore, but he couldn't say anything harsh.

Du Xiaoyu sneered at this moment and said, "Second uncle's conviction is a certainty, so even if you blame my father, grandma, it won't help."

Li's eyelids twitched. In fact, she came today to ask Du Xian to go to the county magistrate to beg for mercy. She was slapped and angry, but she couldn't go on like this. It really angered the elder son. This may not be possible.Thinking of this, her complexion softened, and her tone changed, "Tang'er is your brother after all, even if he made a thousand mistakes, he is still connected with you. If he made a mistake this time, I will tell him to correct it and give you Apologize, you can go and beg the county magistrate to forgive him this time."

Du showed a shocked expression, "How can I help him?"

"Wen Yuan has been admitted to the Shu Jishi, and he will be an official in the capital in the future. Although he is not your own son, but raising him so big will always give you a little bit of shame." Li's tone was softer, "Show Son, my mother has never begged you, this time I will help my mother."

The face in front of him was getting older and wrinkled. Du Xian looked at Li Shi with mixed emotions in his heart.

Never let Du Tang go, such a person must teach him a lesson!

Du Xiaoyu said, "The county lord is just and strict. You can't release someone just by begging for mercy. It's fine for the old woman to say what she said casually here. Don't let others hear it. If it makes the county lord unhappy, no one can keep it." What's going to happen."

Li Shi's expression changed immediately, and he stared at Du Xiaoyu. Are these words threatening her?

When Li Yuanqing and Lin Song came to their house to deal with the removal of their citizenship, they also said similar things, telling them not to provoke the eldest son's family. These days, she really did not dare to take any action, even if she did not have the background of the Li family's capital, They can't afford to offend the rich Lin family alone.

So, if it wasn't for Du Tang, she wouldn't have come either!
But at this moment, being warned by her own granddaughter, she felt uncomfortable, and said gloomily, "Xiaoyu is getting more and more promising!"

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Second Uncle cheated more than one family. At that time, those families will go to the Yamen to testify against him. If he is released, how will the county lord explain to the family?"

Bao curled his lips in disdain, "What do you know, chattering here, isn't it easy to get rid of those family members? As long as you give money, what can you do?"

Du Yi frowned, and asked Du Xian, "Brother, do you know which ones?"

It turned out that they didn't know about this matter, so it can be seen that nothing was found in the yamen, Du Xiaoyu felt relieved now, as long as Du Xian doesn't waver, Du Tang will be determined!

Du Xian shook his head, "I don't know."

"Brother, why are you hiding it? After all, it's our brother, why can't you help?" Du Yi was very anxious, "I heard that the trial will take a few days, and my mother can't eat!"

Du Xiaoyu was watching from the sidelines, Du Yi was a man of few appearances, so I really didn't know what kind of person he was, but he was definitely not much better, otherwise he really valued family affection, so he wouldn't have never been here all these years A trip to their house.And I heard that Li's land is mainly managed by him, which shows that he has a high status in the family, but she feels that he probably didn't say anything good to Du Xian, otherwise Li's attitude would not be like this all the time.

Zhao Dongzhi was impatient, so he called out the two brothers Huang Lishu, pointed at the Li family and said, "Brother-in-law can't help, don't try to force him, it's easy to go now, don't ask us to drive you out!"

Li's lips trembled twice, "Xian'er, you really don't want to help your brother?"

Du Xian closed his eyes, recalled what Du Tang had done these years, and sighed silently. Seeing this, Du Xiaoyu leaned into his ear and said a few words, his face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Really?"

Du Xiaoyu nodded.

"Bastard! It would be better if this beast is dead!" Du Xian hissed, stomped his feet, turned around and left.

Mrs. Li didn't know what happened, but she also knew that Du Xian would definitely not reach out to help, so she was so angry that she kept beating her chest.

"Let's go, what are you still doing here!" Zhao Dongzhi took the opportunity to chase people away.

Du Xian walked for a while and stopped, his shoulders shrugged.

Du Xiaoyu walked over to take a look, and found that he was crying, and couldn't help being shocked, "Father, why are you crying?"

"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry for you. You almost died when you encountered this kind of thing, and you didn't want to tell dad. Dad is so useless!" He wiped his eyes, "I just thought you were careless. I fell into the river, but I never thought it was that beast..."

"Father, it's not that you are useless, it's not that I don't want to tell you." Du Xiaoyu hurriedly explained, and said in a low voice, "My second brother and I didn't tell you because we were afraid that mother would worry, and you can't hide things, father, if you are seen by mother." Come out, what should I do? This time I am really afraid that my father will be soft-hearted, so I let that bastard go, so I will say it. Father, don't take it to heart, in my eyes, father is the best in the world Father!" She stepped forward and hugged Du Xian's arm tightly, "Dad, I know you will protect us, as long as Dad is by your side, we are not afraid of anything!"

Du Xian stroked her head and sighed, "I can see his true face clearly. If he dares to come to our house again in the future, I will be the first to beat him out!"

"Father, remember not to tell mother, so as not to worry her." Du Xiaoyu reminded.

"Okay, let's go, don't think about those nonsense things."

The two entered the main room, Zhao said, "What did they say?"

"I don't care about them, it's the second younger brother's fault, if you hit the board, just hit the board!"

Rarely and confidently, he always seemed a little weak to his relatives. Mrs. Zhao gave him a surprised look, said nothing more, and lowered her head to hold the soles of her shoes. The two children grow very fast, and they need to change several pairs a year.

Zhao Dongzhi also came in with his two sons later, triumphantly, "Get kicked out for me, sister, don't be afraid of them in the future, with me here, let's see who dares to bully you!"

Mrs. Zhao was helpless, she couldn't stop her just now, and reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense."

Du Xian originally thought that he would be as embarrassed as usual, but now he didn't feel that way anymore. Compared with the lady's younger sister and two nephews, those relatives seemed to be far away.

Yes, they are not as close as they are!What else could these relatives bring besides endless pain?

Seeing that Du Xian didn't respond, Zhao Dongzhi was even happier. It seemed that her brother-in-law had completely sided with her sister!I was worried that he would turn to his mother before, but I don't have to worry about it in the future!

Mrs. Li had no choice but to get no help from Du Xian, so he had to send the money to those yamen servants, but in the end it was really thrown into the big river, without even seeing a splash, let alone letting him go, no news at all. Can't find out.

A few days later, the county magistrate tried the case of Du Tang, the doctor, and Zhang Hui. Zhang Hui was given a lighter sentence because of his testimony. Du Xiaoyu's restaurant's loss was naturally also included in the money he cheated, and the total compensation was six taels of silver.

Du Tang was beaten to pieces and screamed, the doctor was not much better, both of them could not walk, they were both carried back.

Mrs. Li also went to the yamen to watch the trial that day, and her gaze could poke a hole in Du Xiaoyu's body, so she didn't take it seriously, she deserved it if she could do it, Du Tang did it on her own accord!

After this incident, no one came to the door to make trouble anymore, Ke Yunlai's business improved again, he was busy every day, and in the blink of an eye, Huang Xiaoying was married.
