He was sweating profusely.
The timing is quite accurate.
If you are any slower, you will be late.
Both parties arrived, and the official presiding over the case waited for a while. When the time came, he announced the opening of the court.
As the "plaintiff", the Lu family came out first to state the reasons and demands.
They have two demands:
One is to ask the Niu family to compensate Lu Qingyan for medical expenses;
One is to divorce Niu Jiashi!
After the Lu family finished speaking, they went to the Niu family and said a lot of things. The core of the story was that she was Lu Qingyan's mother-in-law, and Lu Qingyan offended her mother-in-law. She was just teaching her daughter-in-law a lesson and letting her know what it means to respect her mother-in-law. This is a very normal thing and happens in almost all families. Therefore, what she did was not wrong at all!
Then, both sides fought each other and argued fiercely, each with their own reasons.
Liu Shulin was listening there and also had a headache.
She was curious about this. How would the government decide?
The official banged the gavel, "Silence!"
The quarrel between the Niu and Lu families calmed down in an instant.
They turned around and looked at the official.
The official stared at them coldly and said, "Although you all have your own opinions, our county government also has its own basis for making decisions."
After hearing what he said, the Lu and Niu families knew that the official was about to make a verdict!
For a moment, both sides became nervous!
Because they don’t know how the officials will judge.
The official cleared his throat and picked up a document that he had just recorded during the quarrel between the Niu and Lu families. He said, "The facts and context of your dispute are clear. According to the relevant laws of Daxu, I hereby declare the verdict:
"The Niu family is partly at fault, but so is Lu Qingyan. Both sides are at fault! However, it's clear that the Niu family's fault is greater!
"But, even at this level, it's not enough to justify a divorce!
“So, you should just make peace with each other!
“This way, it’s good for everyone!
"Do you have any objection to this penalty?"
As he said this, he looked at both sides.
Niu Li heaved a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile on her lips, "I have no objection."
Niu Jiashi said: "I have no objection!"
On the Lu family's side, everyone frowned.
Then they said in unison: "We have objections!"
The official stared at them coldly, "Any objections?"
Lu Qingyan said solemnly, "It's clear that Niu Jiashi and I can no longer live like this. If I continue to stay at their house, they will definitely continue to treat me like this. Isn't this tantamount to cutting off my chance of survival? Therefore, I protest! I do not accept this ruling!"
Lu's mother also said: "Yes, sir, I hope you will think twice!"
The official's eyes were filled with majesty as he spoke, "I am following the relevant laws of Daxu in my sentencing. There is nothing wrong with this. Therefore, even if you have objections, it won't change anything. After all, if you don't have any objections, the Niu family will definitely have objections. No matter how the sentence is passed, there will always be one party that objects. Regardless of which party objects, we will only follow the relevant laws, not your attitudes."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "This case is over. Dismiss!"
He no longer cared about the Lu and Niu families and turned to walk towards the side door.
"grown ups!"
"This matter cannot be judged like this!"
"We don't accept this decision! We don't accept it!"
Lu's father, Lu's mother and others shouted loudly at the official's back!
However, they were stopped by the yamen runners on duty and advised to leave.
Seeing this, Niu Li, who was standing by, smiled smugly. She looked at them and said, "Don't shout anymore. It's useless. The official has already made the ruling. You should just accept your fate!"
