Chapter 113 Wei Liang tests the Xingyun sisters. Could it be that the government has found out that the county magistrate was killed by his mother?
When Chen Daya returned to her parents' home, Chen Afu and others knew everything that afternoon.
Seeing the scars all over her body, they were angry and sad. When they heard that she had divorced Li Laizi, they were shocked.
If a wife divorces her husband, will the government really recognize it?
But even if she doesn't recognize it, I believe it will at least be handled as a divorce, so that at least it won't damage Daya's reputation.
Chen Jin and Chen Tong were so angry that they wanted to beat Li Laizi up, but they stopped only when they knew that Li Laizi was covered in bruises.
"It's all Dad's fault. If I hadn't worried about my reputation, I wouldn't have hastily married you off to a bastard like Li Laizi."
Chen Jin regretted it deeply. He really didn't know that his daughter was living such a life, otherwise he would never have waited until now.
"Dad, this is not your fault."
Chen Daya shook her head, her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.
"Alas...we had no choice at the time. Who knew Li Laizi would be that kind of person?"
Chen Afu sighed. A girl's reputation is the most important thing. At that time, what happened to Daya had no choice but to marry Li Laizi.
"I think Daya and her sister-in-law were just being impulsive. No matter how bad Li Laizi was, he was still Daya's husband. Even though Daya divorced him now, in the eyes of outsiders, isn't Daya still returning to her parents' home?"
At this moment, a discordant voice sounded, which sounded quite gloating and sarcastic.
Zhou Lihua just couldn't stand Chen Daya no matter how she looked at her. No matter why, a married daughter would be looked down upon when she returned to her parents' home.
"What will Daya do in the future? She can't just stay at home and eat and drink for free, right? Besides, she dared to divorce her husband, so which man would dare to want her in the future?"
Everyone's faces darkened after hearing these words. Chen Daya even lowered her head and clutched her sleeve with one hand, feeling that she had caused trouble for her family.
Chen Tong glared at Zhou Lihua angrily: "What are you talking about? Do you want Daya to continue to be bullied and beaten? My second sister-in-law said that if she continues like this, Daya will not live for many years. I think you really want Daya to die."
Liu Lan also said bitterly, "So you don't feel bad for Daya since she's not your daughter. Humph, I think your family is just too good to you, and the third brother is too good to you. He doesn't beat you up all the time like Li Laizi does! Wait until you're beaten half to death, and then we'll see if you can still say such sarcastic words."
"If you can't speak, then shut up." Chen Zhang scolded even more harshly, "You and your son have been eating and drinking for free for so many years, and you still have the nerve to criticize others, not to mention that Daya is a good worker."
"The second son's wife said this afternoon that the workshop needed a cleaner and that Daya was suitable. Daya agreed and will start work tomorrow. She gets fifty cents a day, so why is she eating and drinking for free?"
Chen Jin, Chen Afu and others were also very unhappy, but they had just heard that the second son's wife asked Daya to go to work.
Daya makes money, so I guess no one will gossip about her in the future.
“I…you…”
Zhou Lihua was furious. She didn't expect that everyone would stand on Chen Daya's side, and she didn't expect that the other party was so lucky that she could go to work in the workshop as soon as she came back.
Second sister-in-law is too partial. Why didn't she choose her when such a good thing happened? Now she is the only one in the family who doesn't make money.
"Okay, Daya, just stay home for now. We'll talk about the future later."
Chen Afu said in a deep voice, making the final decision.
No matter how unwilling Zhou Lihua was, she had to swallow it back.
A warm feeling flowed through Chen Daya's heart. These were her family. No one blamed her or despised her. Instead, they all felt sorry for her and cared about her.
Especially for Second Aunt, giving her such a job is like providing timely help.
…
The next morning, Chen Daya followed Liu Lan and Chen Zhang to work.
At the same time, Wei Liang also came to Hongye Town with the county lieutenant and several yamen runners.
The reason why he didn't go directly to Chenjia Village was because he heard that Chen Xingyun and her sister opened a shop in the town, and Wei Liang wanted to start with this pair of sisters.
Sister Chen Xingyun has been busy in the town for several days, and the shop is almost finished being renovated.
The four walls and cargo shelves were covered with white paper, which looked clean and bright. There were also circles of green vines wrapped around the cargo shelves, adding a touch of bright color.
Jars and jars filled with spicy sesame oil are placed on the shelves, neatly arranged and full of ancient charm.
The weights of these jars and pots vary, the smallest can hold one kilogram, and the largest can hold twenty kilograms.
One pound of weight with a jar costs 160 wen, while one pound without a jar costs 150 wen.
Of course, it can also be sold in small quantities. If someone thinks it is too expensive and wants to buy a few taels, it will be charged at sixteen cents per tael.
When Wei Liang and others arrived, they looked at the plaque that had been hung but covered with a red cloth and smiled.
These two sisters are quite brave to open a shop at such a young age.
"Dear guests, I'm sorry, our shop will not open until tomorrow."
Seeing a few strangers standing at the door looking around, Chen Xingyue thought they were here to buy seasonings, so she went out and greeted them like an acquaintance.
This kind of situation is not uncommon these days, so she has become accustomed to it.
However, these guests seemed to have some distinguished backgrounds, especially when Chen Xingyue saw the knife-wielding yamen runners behind them, a flash of astonishment flashed across her eyes.
Wei Liang smiled and said, "Are you Chen Xingyue? We're not here to buy spicy sesame oil."
Chen Xingyue suddenly showed some vigilance: "How do you know my name?"
"Xingyue, what happened?"
Chen Xingyun, who was busy behind, also noticed something was wrong and immediately dropped his things and walked over.
Before Chen Xingyue could speak, Wei Liang said, "Don't worry, ladies. We are not bad people. I am Wei Liang, and I have come to Yun'an County on the orders of the prefect to investigate the assassination of the county magistrate."
"During the investigation, I discovered that this matter was related to you, so I came to take a look in person."
He suppressed his smile and looked intimidating without being angry. As expected, he saw the two sisters' expressions change and their looks became nervous.
Chen Xingyun held Chen Xingyue's hand tightly, his heart pounding.
Could it be that the government has discovered that the county magistrate was murdered by his mother?
No, that's impossible. Mom said nothing would happen.
Furthermore, if they had really found out that it was my mother who did it, they should have gone directly to the village to arrest her instead of coming here.
Thinking of this, Chen Xingyun calmed down a little, but he was still nervous about facing the government as an ordinary citizen.
"Sir, how could we possibly be involved in this matter? Could you be mistaken?"
Wei Liang saw that although the two were surprised and nervous, they were not panicked, and he already had a plan in mind.
"How come you are not involved in this matter? Are you doubting my ability to investigate the case?"
Chen Xingyun's face paled slightly, but she continued, "I dare not, but I really can't imagine how I am involved in this matter. Please tell me, sir."
Wei Liang smiled again. "Didn't you arrest those two bandits? This matter has been shelved since the trial that day, and I haven't informed you of the results yet."
The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be because of this.
It seems that they were right, these people didn't find my mother at all.
"So that's why. We did capture those two bandits. Sir, I wonder what the outcome was?"
Wei Liang said: "They confessed to robbing and killing you, but..."
He paused here, still observing the expressions of the two people imperceptibly.
"These two people said that there were more than 30 bandits who attacked you, but they were killed by your mother. How do you explain this?"
