Chapter 652: Credentials
Old man Su subconsciously looked for a fire poker.
You bastard, you actually did such a stupid thing!
If I don't break his legs, I'll be letting down the ancestors of the Su family...
I have to say, if Su Xiaoliu was in front of him, he would definitely not be able to escape from being beaten with a fire stick.
However, even though he didn't get hit now, Old Man Su made a note of it in his little notebook!
Old Man Su was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up, but the onlookers became excited again.
"So, this is how the sixth son of the Su family married his wife..."
"Sure enough, once a man drinks too much, he can't control himself..."
"That's no wonder. The barracks are full of rough men. If they keep making dirty jokes, they'll definitely lead people astray..."
"That's right. Even though the Su family has good upbringing, Xiaoliu is still young and can't resist people's instigation..."
"Speaking of which, it's all caused by drinking..."
“…”
For a time, people were talking about it, and they all felt that they had seen through human nature and found the truth.
The girl knelt on the ground, her expression shy and sad, but she continued to tell the story.
"...My husband promised me repeatedly that he would never let me down in this life, and asked me to go home and serve my parents-in-law on his behalf as a filial duty... I walked for a full ten months, enduring countless hardships and difficulties, and finally arrived here, but... wuwu..."
When the girl said this, she started crying again heartbrokenly.
While crying, he started to complain.
"Father-in-law, it turns out my husband didn't write to tell you that he has married me... wuwu..."
"He was just trying to trick me... wuwu... He probably thought that a woman like me wouldn't be able to find this place after traveling thousands of miles, and that I'd probably been eaten by wild animals along the way, or robbed and kidnapped... wuwu..."
"Father-in-law, my husband ate it but refused to acknowledge it... He's heartless and unfaithful, a heartless man... Wuwu...Father-in-law, you must stand up for your daughter-in-law..."
Old Man Su, “…”
Bastard! When he comes back, I'll beat him to death!
Old Man Su was furious and wanted to beat Su Xiaoliu half to death.
The people of his Su family have always been upright. How could they have ever done such a shameless thing?
Old Mrs. Su was not as angry as Old Man Su. She looked at the girl who was crying and making a clear complaint. Although her eyes were red and swollen and she looked haggard, as if she was suffering from the pain of losing her son, the light in her eyes was obscure and difficult to discern.
Tang Bao stood beside Old Lady Su, holding her arm, looking at the coffin beside her, then at the haggard and dejected girl, then at the coffin again, and then at the girl again...
Xia Siya stood beside Tang Bao, her eyes red and swollen. She sniffed and asked in confusion, "Sister Fuya, why do you always look at Sixth Brother's coffin?"
Tang Bao answered seriously: "I'm afraid the coffin lid will be lifted."
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, the girl kneeling on the ground suddenly looked towards the big black coffin.
Then, he quickly lowered his head.
Xia Siya was startled.
"Why is the coffin lid lifted?" Xia Siya was shocked. "Could it be that Sixth Brother is trying to come back to life?"
Xia Siya was so shocked that she couldn't help but speak louder.
So many people heard it.
Everyone looked towards the coffin in unison.
The girl kneeling on the ground trembled almost imperceptibly.
Seeing this, Tang Bao quickly said, "Of course not, I was just talking nonsense."
There is only an urn inside, how could it be possible that the corpse is resurrected?
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Su Lao San, Su Lao Si, and Su Lao Wu couldn't help but look at each other.
With Xiaoliu's personality, if he really lay in the coffin, he would definitely jump out.
Originally, the brothers were all unsure, but now——
After listening to the younger sister's words and thinking about their younger brother's temper, several people suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Don’t you understand your brother’s temperament?
I will never do something like eating and not admitting it!
Old Mrs. Su glanced at her little girl.
Then, he looked at the girl on the ground and asked, "Miss, you said my Xiaoliu asked you to come here to recognize your relationship. Do you have any proof?"
When the people around heard this, all their eyes fell on the girl.
The girl shook her head.
Su Lao San said in a slightly cold voice: "Miss, you have no evidence and are slandering my brother's reputation based on your own words. Do you think our Su family is easy to fool?"
"Since your brother is determined not to admit what he ate, how could he give me proof?" the girl retorted.
Su Lao San, “…”
"Humph! Nonsense!" The county magistrate snorted coldly, saying, "You have no evidence whatsoever, and you wantonly insult the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for your country. You deserve death!"
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he glanced at the runners behind him and said, "Catch them!"
The girl was startled.
It seemed as if she had never expected that not only would she not be recognized by her in-laws, but she would also lose her head.
Two yamen runners immediately stepped forward and tried to grab the girl on the ground.
Mrs. Su opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
Second Mrs. Su quickly tugged at Mrs. Su's sleeve, signaling her not to speak.
Mrs. Su San and Mrs. Su Si looked at each other, and then looked at Old Lady Su together.
Old Man Su also looked at Old Lady Su.
"Mother, what are you talking about..."
Old Madam Su shook her head and whispered, "Since the county magistrate is here, it is natural for him to make the decision."
Old Man Su, "...what if it's Xiaoliu..."
"Whether it's true or not, she deserves a lesson for publicly defaming Xiaoliu's reputation." Old Madam Su said coldly, "As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest. Moreover, as a wife, you should respect your husband and protect his reputation."
Mrs. Su paused for a moment, then continued, "Your own son, don't you know his temper? If he really did it, he would definitely not deny it! Since we haven't received Xiaoliu's letter, there must be something else going on..."
"...Since there's a hidden agenda, she's scolding Xiaoliu for being heartless and disloyal in front of so many people right in front of his coffin. She's deliberately trying to keep him from resting in peace. Even after he dies, he'll be known for his poor moral character..."
The little girl was right. If her youngest son was really in the coffin, she would probably jump up and lift the coffin lid even after she died!
The girl kneeling on the ground couldn't help but get anxious when she saw that no one from the Su family spoke up to stop the yamen runners from arresting her.
"Wait a minute!" the girl shouted hurriedly, "I have evidence!"
"What evidence do you have?" asked the county magistrate in a dignified voice.
The girl bit her lip, a look of embarrassment on her face.
"My husband...his thigh, the base... has a birthmark on the inside..."
The girl stammered as she finished speaking, her face flushed red.
The crowd: "..."
I immediately started imagining the location of the birthmark...
Then, the expressions changed.
The expressions of the Su family members also changed.
