Chapter 236: Marrying a Wife
Seeing Sun start to talk nonsense, Luo Gang's originally casual expression suddenly became serious.
If someone really gets killed, not only will you lose your job, you may even have to face lawsuit.
Song Yuntang was sharp-eyed and saw Sun's actions, so he immediately stepped forward and pushed her away.
Sun glared at her fiercely.
"What are you doing?!"
She reached out her hand to touch Qian's pulse, then turned to look at Sun, "Your mother is clearly still alive, how could you be so impatient to smother her to death?"
Sun's eyes flashed with panic, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't!"
Then he looked at the man holding a child standing not far behind him.
"Liu Zishi, you are a student after all, are you going to let them bully me and my mother like this? Why don't you say something!"
Song Yuntang looked at the man named Liu Zishi with some surprise.
"Are you from the Liu family of Shili Village?"
Liu Zishi was shocked.
"How do you know me?"
Sun was also confused. She looked at the man and said, "Didn't you say you were an orphan?"
"He is not an orphan. Both his parents are alive, and he has brothers, a wife and children at home." Song Yuntang's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "So you abandoned your wife and children just for such a piece of trash. You should be glad that Xia is just your child bride and has not registered your marriage with the government. Otherwise, you would marry someone else..."
Although she knew the charge, she didn't know how Da Xia had convicted him, so she could only look in the direction of Xu Qingye.
The man raised his hand and touched his nose.
"If a man marries another wife, he shall be caned 90 times, and the wife he marries later shall be divorced and returned to his clan."
Sun didn't believe it, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liu Zishi was a scholar who could not lift anything with his hands or carry anything with his shoulders. Not to mention ninety strokes of the stick, even sixty strokes would be enough to kill him.
Song Yuntang said calmly, "Whether you are talking nonsense or not, ask your man yourself."
Sun looked at Liu Zishi, "Is what she said true?"
Liu Zishi's main purpose of staying in the county town was to live a good life and not to go back to the village to live a life of hunger.
Because studying and taking imperial examinations are really too difficult.
Before, Sun was dressed up beautifully, and he thought she was a young lady from some family. But who knew she was just a sister-in-law who was staying at her brother and sister-in-law's house.
But they were already husband and wife before they got married, so he had no choice but to accept it.
The two got married, and because he didn't dare to tell his true situation, it was equivalent to recruiting a son-in-law, and the marriage was also held in this courtyard.
She finally waited for her brother to die, and thought she could get all the money from her sister-in-law's family. With money in the future, she could live a carefree and happy life.
Now that Jiang had taken back all their money and was about to kick them out of the house, they naturally could no longer follow Sun back to their hometown.
Their hometown is not as well off as the Liu family's.
"Before I left, Xia Shi had not yet become pregnant, and I have never heard that she had given birth to a child. What is the basis for what you said?"
In order to help Qian wake up and avoid Sun's murder, Song Yuntang gave her acupuncture while saying, "I asked someone to find out before. The year you left Shili Village, Xia gave birth to a child. Three months later, your eldest brother got married, and the child was raised under the names of your eldest brother and his wife."
"Xia is nineteen this year, so she should be one or two years younger than Sun. The Liu family thought you were dead, so they concealed the fact that she had given birth to a child. They are looking for a matchmaker recently to marry her off."
Song Yuntang looked at Liu Zishi.
"The reason why I know so much about this is because this marriage almost fell on my second brother, so when I heard your name, I thought of the Liu family."
"I don't know if Xia's marriage has been arranged yet. If you don't go back, she will really marry someone else."
After hearing this, Sun didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it.
"You're not an orphan? You were lying to me before!"
Liu Zishi was no longer as timid as before, "Didn't your elder brother also cheat Jiang? What's wrong with me cheating on you?"
"Liu Zishi, you bastard!"
As soon as Qian woke up, she saw Sun rushing towards Liu Zishi.
"What are you doing? Don't hurt my grandson."
The child of Liu Zishi and Sun took Sun's surname Sun. Because he was a boy, Qian valued him much more than Jiang's daughter.
Seeing the young couple fighting, he was afraid that they would hurt the little grandson in Liu Zishi's arms.
"Stop it now!"
After all, Sun was a woman. If Liu Zishi really didn't want her to bully her, she would be helpless even if she was holding a child in her arms.
After being pushed to the ground, Sun sat on the ground and began to cry.
"Mom, Liu Zishi lied to me. He is not an orphan at all. He has a wife and children, yet he still messes with me. I won't live any longer!"
Qian was shocked.
"What?!"
When Song Yuntang saw that Qian had regained consciousness, he didn't want to watch this farce anymore.
Given the conflicts and disputes among these people, it will probably take at least ten days or half a month to resolve them. Afterwards, they probably won't have the time to come here and make trouble.
"Now that we have sorted things out, take your luggage and leave."
Liu Zishi held the child in his arms and looked down at Sun who was lying on the ground.
"Why don't you help your mother leave quickly? Aren't you embarrassing yourself by staying here?"
Sun glared at him fiercely, stepped forward to support Qian and limped out of the yard.
Song Yuntang came out of the door, looked at Sun and said, "Sun, your mother was fine when she left. If you use any tricks again, we will not recognize you."
Qian looked at Sun in confusion.
"What did she mean?"
Sun felt guilty and looked away, "It's nothing, mother, let's go."
"good."
Qian didn't think much about it and left with the help of her daughter.
…
Seeing that everyone had left, Jiang took the child and knelt down in front of Song Yuntang and the yamen runners.
"Thank you very much for your help, benefactor and several officials. Otherwise, the family business left to me by my parents would have fallen into the hands of Qian's mother and daughter."
Song Yuntang hurried forward and helped her up.
"Sister Jiang, get up quickly."
Luo Gang waved his hands and said, "Well, if Miss Song hadn't come to us for help, we wouldn't have been able to do anything to you."
He looked at Song Yuntang.
"Now that things here are over, I will lead my brothers back."
It was really close that Qian fainted just now.
If Song Yuntang hadn't discovered that Qian was really suffocated to death by Sun, they would inevitably have been sued.
Song Yuntang smiled and took out five cents of silver from his purse and put it in his hand.
"I treated the brothers to a drink. Thank you for today."
The yamen runners waved their hands and said, "It's okay. If Miss Song needs help again in the future, please come to us."
Jiang looked at the soldiers' backs as they left, then turned to look at Song Yuntang.
"Is your benefactor familiar with these officials?"
"We've met a few times." Song Yuntang looked at her, "I wonder if Sister Jiang is still selling this yard? Now that you have a child, I won't force you. If you want to sell it, I'll buy it. If you don't, I'll look for it somewhere else."
