I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 20, 19, please go

Madam Li heard him speak with sincerity, and the tears in her eyes could not stop streaming down.

Gong Li asked Madam Li again: "Madam Li, are you willing to go back to Sun's house with your son-in-law?"

Madam Li choked up and replied: "The old lady is dying, and she is very sick. She didn't want to drag her daughter and son-in-law down. It's just that she really misses her. If there is a chance to see her again in this life, the old woman will just die in peace." - I would like to go back with my son-in-law."

She glanced at Li Zhang and said, "It's just that since the old woman is from Li's family, but lives in Sun's family, it's unjustifiable. I'm afraid someone will make trouble with her in the future, and she will say something to my daughter and son-in-law. Some words are still It’s good to make it clear now, please be a witness here.”

Gong Li nodded and said: "It makes sense, since that's the case, you say."

Madam Li bowed solemnly and said in shame: "I am the daughter of everyone in Jinling City. It was in the early years of Hongwu. I was only 16 years old. I was so pampered at home that I didn't know the dangers of the world. Because of that On the night of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, I went to watch the lantern with my brothers. I met Li Zhang, who was going to Beijing for the exam. eloped."

As soon as Han Li saw this grandmother, she felt that although she was poor and sick, she was neither sad nor complaining, and had an extraordinary bearing.I thought in my heart: my grandmother seems to be from a family, but I don't know that she eloped here.Han Li looked at his grandfather's old face like a red eggplant, knowing that there must be a reason for this, so he secretly closed his ears and listened carefully to Madam Li's next words.

When Mrs. Li said this, she glanced at Li Zhang, as if she remembered the sweetness at that time, a blush could not help but be covered up by bitterness: "Since I followed him, I decided that I belonged to his family, don't you?" It is said that eating bran-swallowed vegetables, even drinking clear water, is also joyful in my heart."

She sighed and said to Li Zhang: "Since I entered your house, I have fulfilled my duties as a housewife for you every day, and I have never slacked off. Although life is a bit rough, I only think about the love between husband and wife, and the peace and happiness in this world." , then this life is enough. Over the years, although I have not given birth to you, I have raised children for you. It can be regarded as a lifetime of hard work."

"You were afraid that people would know that I eloped here, and that you lost your face as a teacher. You never allowed me to contact my mother's family. Thinking of how anxious and sad my old mother must be after I left without saying goodbye, I felt like a knife was piercing my heart. .You started business for your son-in-law, cut off contact with your daughter, and cut off our mother-daughter relationship. Make my daughter suffer from the same pain of missing my mother. How can I bear it!"

"I have worked hard for your family all my life, how did you treat me? After I got sick, you just hired a doctor who went away, and why did you grab me a penny of medicine! Let me lie on the bed to fend for myself. If the family has no money, it’s fine. You clearly have tens of thousands of taels of silver in your hand to sell your daughter! It really chills me! From now on, I understand that you have just treated me like an old mother who doesn’t need money all your life.” She shook her head and smiled wryly, "I'm afraid my mother is more decent than me."

"My grandson invited a doctor and you refused to let me in. I understand what you mean: you just think that I am useless and can only waste your rice. If I died sooner, I would just give it to you. Your beloved concubine Teng Konger. That being the case, I will fulfill you. I eloped with you, and there is no marriage certificate, but there is no such thing as a divorce certificate. Today, I would like to invite adults and neighbors to be witnesses: Mr. Ladies, please come down from the hall, and from now on we will go our separate ways with Li Zhang, and there will be no further problems."

Li Zhang muttered his mouth a few times, but he didn't intend to keep him. He just said, "It doesn't matter if you go to your daughter's house to raise her, or your son-in-law's family is rich, and you will surely be able to eat and drink. You will be blessed if you go. It's just that you have to leave now." , but I can’t take the things at home with me.”

Madam Li was even more disappointed, she brushed her clothes and said with a sneer, "Since I came to your house, why have you added a hairpin to me! I came out of the house in a hurry and didn't bring any belongings with me. In order to have a safe life I pawned a few hairpin rings on my body, and bought the small courtyard where I lived. Since my daughter got married, she probably gave me money secretly. Didn’t she give me all these pieces of jewelry? Now your daughter-in-law has taken away a lot, and the rest is on your concubine. The commoner clothes I am wearing today were also made by my daughter a few years ago. When I left the Li family today, it does not count as wearing you. A trace of wiring from the Li family. Let’s say goodbye today, and I hope we will never see each other again. After I die, I will not enter your family’s grave, but let my grandson take me back to Jinling, and I will be buried next to my mother’s family’s grave.”

Mrs. Li bowed down to Gong Wei and said: "My lord, the old woman's troubles in this life are all her own fault. But please be sympathetic to the old woman's sick body, and I really don't want to entangle with the Li family anymore. Please allow me Ladies please."

Gong Wei nodded and said: "Since you have decided to go, I will grant your request. I sentence you to reconcile with Li Zhang, the teacher of Yangzhou County. From then on, each will do his own thing, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Mrs. Li left the house today, and Don't want Li Zhang's alimony; the Li family will not go to the Sun's family to disturb and ask for money in the future."

It was okay for others to hear this, but when Han Li heard the words "Don't allow Li's house to go to Sun's house to disturb", he was so happy, now that he has completely got rid of Li's house, it is not in vain for him to make such a big commotion.

Unexpectedly, Gong Li slapped the gavel and looked at Li Zhang with a cold face: "Li Zhang! As a teacher of the county school, you should abide by the teachings of the saints and be a teacher. But I don't want you to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality behind your back. But he is so wolf-hearted! Doing such a thing of pampering his concubine and abusing his wife! You are a complete hypocrite! What you have done is no longer worthy of being a teacher! Today, the government dismissed you from the position of teaching, lest you destroy Gossip, misleading people! The case is over here, retreat!"

The onlookers applauded loudly, Han Li and others hurriedly knelt down and thanked, "Master Shengming!"

Han Li couldn't bear it anymore, the corners of his mouth almost reached the tip of his ears, and he hurriedly hid his gloating face while kneeling and kowtowing.

At that moment, they embraced Mrs. Li happily and went home, but everyone didn't even look at Li Zhang who was in a state of despair.Only Rui Niang, who smelled of rancid water, huddled behind him and sobbed.

Ever since Li Zhang came to make a noise, because Han Li had given orders, the family kept it from Li Shi.After Mrs. Li came to the hall, Han Li saw that the matter had been accomplished, so he asked Lai Wang who was following outside the hall to go home and tell Mrs. Li, asking her to prepare for Mrs. Li's house.

Li Shi, who was sick in bed, heard the news and cried with joy.It took a long while to wake up after being reminded by Mother Fan and Zhanyi.The illness also went to Jiufen, and he instructed the servants of Manfu to be busy with vigor.Fortunately, there are many people and sufficient strength, and the things in the warehouse are ready-made.Pick up the best ones to clean up, but in a short while, everything is ready.Li asked Jiang Sha and Cheng Luo to hurry up to get her makeup done again, and then supported Mother Fan, while waiting at the gate, she took turns asking people to inquire about news from the hall.
