Chapter 235 Making Things Big
Upon seeing this, one of the yamen runners picked up the iron bar and chopped at Qian's legs.
Although the iron ruler has no blade, it is very powerful.
No matter how strong Qian's legs were, she was still knocked to the ground by the iron bar. She couldn't get up for a long time and lay on the ground crying "ouch".
"If you dare to act rashly again, watch your head!"
After being warned like this, not only did Qian not dare to act rashly, but even her daughter and son-in-law did not dare to move.
Jiang came to Song Yuntang holding the box and took out a house deed from the box.
"Sir, please look. This yard was bought when my parents were alive. I am their only daughter. When they bought it fifteen years ago, my name was written on it. I was only eight years old at that time. After my parents passed away, they gave everything to me. The official seal is also on the deed. This thing cannot be forged. Even if you go to the government, you can find the record."
Luo Gang glanced at the title deed and looked towards Qian.
"You still say that you didn't occupy other people's property?"
Qian quickly changed her words, "Sir, she is my daughter-in-law. Although my son is gone, it is only natural for her to support me!"
Jiang seemed determined and hurriedly searched the box again.
"This is the divorce letter my ex-husband left me before he died. Because I was soft-hearted, I never kicked my ex-mother-in-law out. I didn't expect that she would now target me and my daughter."
Luo Gang showed the divorce letter to Qian and her daughter and son-in-law.
"Did you see it? It's written in black and white. Since this is a divorce, the bride's dowry should belong to her alone. How can I let you occupy it? If you know what's good for you, pack up your things and get out. Otherwise, if we start a fight, it won't be as simple as just throwing it away."
Although Qian was reluctant to leave this courtyard, she did not dare to act rashly as the soldiers were present.
I was hit just now and my leg is still unable to move. I'm afraid it will take a few months to recover.
"Sir, could you please allow us to pack our things?" Qian began to give in.
Anyway, Jiang had given her a lot of silver and jewelry over the years. Even if she lost this yard, it would be enough for her to build a decent brick house in her hometown after she recovered from her leg.
In this way, at least when she returns to the village, she can still look proud.
"allow."
After Luo Gang finished speaking, he sat down on the stone bench next to the osmanthus tree.
Qian winked at her daughter Sun, signaling her to clean up her things.
Seeing that Sun was about to walk into the room, Song Yuntang spoke.
"stop!"
Sun looked back at Song Yuntang and asked impatiently, "What's wrong again?"
Song Yuntang stepped forward and said, "Sister Jiang has agreed to sell this yard to me. You can pack your luggage, but Sister Jiang will do it for you."
Sun was angry. "Don't go too far! We can pack our own luggage, we don't need you to do it for us. Can I take your bricks and tiles and take them away?"
Song Yuntang shook his head. "You guys were so greedy that you even dared to swallow up Jiang's sister's property. I can't trust you."
Sun stamped her feet anxiously and looked at Luo Gang.
"Sir, are you just going to let her do this?"
Luo Gang just scratched his ears and said nonchalantly, "Miss Song is right. Jiang will pack your luggage for you."
Looking at the ferocious-looking soldiers in the yard, Sun dared not say a word, but Qian had already fallen to the ground crying and shouting, probably about how her daughter-in-law had bullied her.
However, Jiang was determined this time. She immediately went into the house and packed up the clothes of several people.
As for money, not a single penny was given to them.
As soon as they got the bundle, the three of them began to search through it.
"Where's the money?" Qian looked at Jiang. "Where's our silver and jewelry? You bastard, you're leaving us no chance to survive. You've taken all our hard-earned money!"
Sun also looked at her angrily.
"Jiang, why don't you give me my dowry?"
"Your hard-earned money?" Jiang snorted coldly, "Everything you eat, use, wear, and wear, which one of them was not bought by me? When you came to Anyang County, you didn't have a single copper coin on you."
He turned and looked at Sun.
"And your dowry. Don't you remember who bought you a dowry when you got married? A dowry of sixty taels of silver. What did I get in the end?"
Sun refused to give up and knelt down in front of Luo Gang.
"Please help us, sir. Jiang is trying to cut off our livelihood."
Luo Gang didn't even look at her. "Since all this money belongs to Jiang's family and she has no relationship with your family anymore, you can't take it away."
Sun refused, "The silver is not written with her name Jiang, and there is no evidence, how can she prove it is hers? If the magistrate does not give me the silver today, I will sue the magistrate as well. If the county magistrate does not approve, I will go to the provincial capital and sue the prefect."
Luo Gang was shocked.
"You dare!"
Sun snorted, "If the official dares to let Jiang embezzle our money today, I will sue him!"
Jiang took out another piece of paper from the wooden box.
"This is the IOU that Qian borrowed from me for my dowry. Although my name is not engraved on the silver, with this IOU, I have the right to take back my money."
When Sun got married, her husband was still alive. Qian pretended to ask her to write an IOU, so she really asked her to write the IOU and kept it just in case.
I didn't expect that it would actually come in handy.
Qian was heartbroken.
"Jiang, I really misjudged you! I didn't expect you to be such a scheming person."
Jiang remained unmoved.
"My parents taught me since I was young that I should treat others the way they treat me. Now that you are being unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
After this incident, she was really discouraged.
Qian pounded the ground and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"I just don't believe it. Are all those gold and silver jewelry you gave me marked?"
Seeing Jiang frowning, Song Yuntang stepped forward and said, "Don't forget, this is Sister Jiang's home. Could it be that your name is written on her things?"
Hearing her words, Jiang's brows relaxed.
My benefactor is really smart. She didn't even react when Qian asked her that question just now.
"you!"
Qian pointed at Song Yuntang with trembling fingers, her breathing became disordered due to anger.
"you!"
Then his pupils suddenly widened, his eyeballs rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
"Mother!" Sun rushed to Qian, "Someone's dead. Jiang bribed the officials to kill my mother-in-law. Who can help us? In broad daylight, is there still any law?"
While crying, she quietly covered Qian's mouth and nose with her clothes, hoping to suffocate her to death and then make a big deal out of it so that she could take advantage of the situation and gain some benefits.
