Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 125 Follow-up (1)
County magistrate Bai quickly retreated to the back hall, changed into ordinary clothes, and hurried to find his wife, Mrs. Wu.Bai Jin's aptitude is mediocre. In the past, he kept his ears shut and only read sage books.It was not until he was in his 30s that he won the Juren. Thanks to his wife Wu's dowry mediation, he was able to get the official position of Qinghe county magistrate.

Bai Jin usually respects his wife very much, and will discuss with her when he is uncertain.

Bai entered the Wu family and said, "Madam, why didn't you remind my husband that Mrs. Qian and the defendant Li Zhu are old?"

Wu sighed and said, "I also just found out."

Bai Jin looked puzzled, "What should we do now?"

Mrs. Wu was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, the master's sentence is justified. No matter what, the Li family is Li Zhu's biological parents, and if she is raised until she is a teenager, nothing can kill her. The master forgot, neighbor There is a case in the county where the father and mother abandoned their son. The son was brought up by adoptive parents. Should he also be sentenced to be filial to both parents? Then it’s still only for birth but not for raising.”

Hearing this, Bai Jin felt relieved, and complained, "If this woman hadn't made such a fuss, this case would have been settled satisfactorily."

Wu Shi also deeply agrees.When Li Zhu made such a fuss, the situation was suddenly reversed. At first, most people were on the side of the Li family. It was only natural for parents to beat and scold their children. Besides, parents and grandma expressed their repentance in court, so there is nothing dissatisfied with being a daughter.

Then Li Zhu's self-mutilation behavior in the hall made people think deeply.

Who is not greedy for life and afraid of death?Better to die than to live.This woman would rather die than go back, which shows how terrifying this father and mother are.

"Sir, don't think about it too much. I will go to Qian's mansion to see the girl in time, and find out what the old lady Qian says."

Bai Jin and his wife discussed here without mentioning it.

Let's talk about Li Zhu, after she fainted in the hall, she was carried by the servants of the Qian family to treat her injuries.Those who watched the fun hadn't seen enough, so they followed.Qian Fu and Aunt Li were in front, followed by a group of idlers.There was a bloody gash on Li Zhu's arm, which appeared and disappeared through the thin sleeve.Blood seeped all over the door panel and dripped all the way along the road.It was shocking to see.Along the way, the story of the Li family's abuse of Li Zhu was fueled and spread more widely.

Someone said: "My mother, the Li family is so harsh on their own daughters, so whoever's daughter-in-law will be his daughter-in-law won't be afraid to swallow her alive?"

Someone answered: "That's right, no one in an ordinary family would be willing to let their daughter marry."

"Didn't you say that this child is a broom star? Why are you vying for it?"

"If you have money, let me tell you..."

Everyone was discussing in the back, Aunt Li was walking in front, she was crying so hard, Yang Laoshi supported her and comforted her all the way.

Yang Laoshi looked around and whispered, "His mother, shouldn't we discuss it at home? Xiaozhu is fine."

Aunt Li said angrily: "Why are you all right? Is it your niece? She didn't even say she really scratched her arm."

"Don't be so loud." Yang Laoshi stopped him.

"Give way, there are patients." From the county government office to the Qian's mansion, one must pass through a bustling market, which is crowded with people at the moment.Master Qian personally opened the way ahead.

These people who didn't have time to go to the county government office to watch the excitement happened to feast their eyes this time, and there were people with good things to explain beside them.Anyway, the Li family is already well-known in Qinghe County.

When the crowd was the most, Li Zhu was temporarily awake for a moment, and she first shouted in a daze: "Brother Ji, don't hit me, Dad, I beg you not to kick me..."

Everyone had a look of pity: "Poor child, I'm afraid of being beaten."
