A smile suddenly appeared on Li Changsheng's face.

"Even if this matter goes to court, Daliang won't be in the right!"

Besides, there was a written agreement back then, and I have a copy here.

Now, Mancang and Da Liang are no longer father and son.

Furthermore, what about the debt of giving birth and raising? Where is the debt of giving birth and raising? This debt of giving birth and raising is clearly written in black and white.

Over the years, Mancang has already settled all accounts with them based on the harvest from the fields he has cultivated for so many years and the money he has paid as tribute over so many years.

Even if we go to the yamen (government office) and let them decide in court, we won't get a single penny!

And indeed, it was just as Li Changsheng said—

In the courtroom, the old man in the official robes and gown, sitting at the head of the table, held a written document in his hand. He looked at it from left to right, glancing at the notary Li Changsheng and then at the An Daliang family kneeling below.

"You have nothing better to do than oppress the people and then come here to make fun of me, is that it?"

It's all written clearly in black and white: An Daliang, He Sanfeng, your relationship with An Mancang is completely severed.

The debt of gratitude for being born and raised has already been repaid when the family divided the property. So where does this debt of gratitude for being born and raised come from?

If anyone is going to raise someone, it'll be An Dalin, to show respect to An Dalin, their father.

The matter is already obvious, so why come here and make a fuss? Isn't this just being unreasonable?

It's a perfectly clear matter, yet they still came to this court to disrupt the proceedings, attempting to extort fifty taels of silver from An Mancang. Their actions are truly despicable, and their nature is truly vile!

"Drag them away! Give both of them thirty strokes of the cane and a month in jail. Punish them severely without leniency!"

The old man sitting at the head of the courtroom uttered a few words with a fierce expression, leaving An Daliang and He Sanfeng dumbfounded.

"Oh no, sir, sir, this is really my son! I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him..."
