Xiao Lingyu's face darkened. Was she afraid of him? !
Not to mention that the eldest wife of the Xu family is hers now, even if she is not, she has a way to deal with him.
The people from the second branch of the Xu family can condone their subordinates to do this, and they have done so many shameful things.
She didn't believe that the second branch of the Xu family didn't evade taxes with such a big restaurant. If the government officials checked, they would definitely find out.
Beiyi law is very strict on taxation. Once tax evasion is discovered, the lightest punishment is 100 beatings on the back. Can you survive after 100 beatings? It all depends on how strong your back is.
Serious tax evasion is a capital offense.
If Xu Yulan hadn't spoken up for him yesterday for the sake of the family's reputation, he would have been beaten and imprisoned.
If anyone from the second branch of the Xu family dared to cause trouble for her, she would arm herself with the laws of Beiyi and deal with him openly.
It is important to understand the law no matter what era you are in.
However, I am afraid that he will not come openly, but come secretly.
Now Su Xingyi is still unable to walk, and the children are still too young. She cannot take care of them alone, and she is afraid that he will attack the children behind their backs.
Now it’s not about whether she is afraid of him or not, she has to consider the children.
It would be best if he could not leave the prison to avoid trouble.
"Mr. Wu, can you please tell me what's going on with the Xu family's second branch?"
Wu Huaiyuan said, "I hope Madam Su can go to the county jail tomorrow so that my second uncle can talk to you in person."
Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment. "Village Chief, Mr. Wu, I can go to the county jail, but you must understand that what Wu Linshun did violated Beiyi law. He must bear the consequences of his actions. Can what you are going to tell me tomorrow be used to redeem yourself from your crimes? That is not something I can influence."
After hearing what Xiao Lingyu said, Wu Qingshan knew that there was little hope for him to have a son. After all, although Madam Su had the title of princess, she could not influence the county magistrate's judgment.
However, since Mrs. Su was able to go, he was making an effort for his son's life. Whether he could survive or not depended on his own luck.
"Madam Su, we understand. Can my son's sentence be reduced? The county magistrate will make the final decision. It's getting late, so we, the grandparents, won't bother you anymore. We'll go to the county government office together tomorrow."
After the two left, Su Xingyi asked, "Xiao...Mother, the person who wanted to bully you yesterday was actually Wu Linshun?"
"Yes, Dad, the one who bullied us is Wu Linshun." Su Ningjie still couldn't figure it out. "I never thought that someone who looked so good could actually do such bad things."
Su Ning'an said, "Dad, Wu Linshun must have done more than one or two things. Last time, his men carried two wild boars in without discussing the price or weighing them. They also misunderstood that mother was a big buyer of wild boars and sold them to her for a hundred coins per pound. Later, they came to rob her, and I taught them a lesson."
Su Xingyi said, "Dad used to give the prey he sent to the chef and then go to Wu Linshun to get the money."
Xiao Lingyu approached and said, "Those two wild boars weighed over 800 jin. I sold them for 100 wen and they received 80 liang. If you had delivered these two wild boars and thrown them directly to the kitchen, how much would Wu Linshun have given you?"
"He would give me forty coins a pound."
Xiao Lingyu continued, "So, does that mean it's exactly what he said it was, and he didn't even weigh it in front of you?"
Su Xingyi nodded, "Yes, he won't..."
Su Xingyi was about to say that he would not lie to him, but the words were stuck on his lips.
Wu Linshun even brought people to bully them mother and son. The trust they had in him over the years was a joke.
Seeing his wry smile, Xiao Lingyu remained silent. He patted him gently and said softly, "Xingyi, the children all think he is a very good elder. Do you also think he is a very good uncle?"
Seeing Su Xingyi nod, Xiao Lingyu continued, "Who would have thought he would do something bad in the county? From now on, we should not trust others so easily, so we won't be easily deceived. Every failure makes us wiser."
Su Xingyi had gotten to know Wu Linshun a little better today. "You're right. Every failure is a learning experience."
Xiao Xier said like a little adult: "Daddy, what Mommy said is right. As long as Daddy listens to Mommy, he won't be fooled. You have to be good and sensible and not make Mommy angry."
Su Ning'an agreed, "Dad, my sister is right."
Su Ningjie agreed, "Yes, you have to listen to mother. If mother gets angry, the consequences will be serious and you will be punished."
Su Ningwen whispered, "Yes."
Xiao Lingyu smiled, thinking that the four children were not raised in vain, as they were now protecting her.
Xiao Lingyu felt embarrassed to be there, so he slipped into the kitchen.
Su Xing thought that since the four children were so protective of Xiao Lingyu, how could he dare not disobey?
By the way, now that Xiao Lingyu has become the children's mother, the four little ones like to stick to her even more. I remember that the children used to like to stick to him.
"Children, Daddy will be as obedient and sensible as you are. He will listen to your mother and will not make her angry."
Xiao Xier said, "Then I'm relieved. This way, mother won't leave us. Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's go to the kitchen and help mother."
After saying that, the four little ones ran into the kitchen.
Su Xingyi slid his wheelchair to the kitchen door and looked at the children surrounding Xiao Lingyu, talking happily at once. He felt complicated for a moment.
He hoped that the children would grow up happily, but Xiao Lingyu said that when the children grew up a little and he got better, she would go find her family and divorce him.
Wouldn’t the children then be without a mother again?
There are also children who don’t know that there are people persecuting them behind the scenes.
Xiao Lingyu obviously loved the four children very much. She helped the children to recuperate, made new clothes for them, and taught them to read and write. She was so capable that she asked the Zhang family to come to the Su family to do hard labor.
