"Are you here with the village chief to pressure me?" This time, Shen Wanli didn't even call him "elder brother."
Just when he thought his older brother's badness had stopped, his older brother would do something even more outrageous!
How can a brother born of the same mother now hire someone else to suppress him?
Chen Wanli was filled with sorrow and desolation, utterly disappointed.
In front of the village chief, Shen Baili was extremely embarrassed and remained silent with his lips pursed!
OK!
You, Chen Wanli!
If I weren't worried about affecting Pengfei, I would have taught you a lesson today!
But for now, Shen Baili can only endure it!
"Good or bad!"
Shen Liuliu pouted and suddenly spoke.
The village chief looked embarrassed and, unable to bear it any longer, spoke first:
“Wanli, it is true that Shen Wangshi was in the wrong today. But if she really gets twenty lashes, someone might die. That would damage the reputation of your family and the entire village.”
"I know you're angry; anyone would be angry in this situation. But you can't hurt yourself as much as you hurt your enemy. It's not worth it for her!"
The village chief didn't go in; he just stood in the courtyard, patiently trying to persuade her.
Of course, the things Shen Baili mentioned that would affect Shen Pengfei's imperial examination were the most important.
But it was also out of consideration for Shen Wanli's family.
"Village chief, I'll say it again. Who are we? The magistrate has already delivered his verdict, what can I say?"
Chen Wanli is really annoying!
Do these two not understand human speech or something?
“You are the aggrieved party. If you plead for leniency, I think Lord Zheng will agree. After all, if someone dies, it won’t be good for him either.”
The village chief then offered his advice.
Faced with Shen Wanli's dark face, the village chief had no words to express his suffering!
Damn Shen Wang! Always looking for trouble!
He, the dignified village chief, has to humble himself and act like a servant!
At this moment, Tian Guifen came out with a dark face and asked, "Village Chief, what if Lord Zheng doesn't listen and thinks we're audacious and want to interfere with his judgment, and even wants to punish the child's father? Do you have any ideas?"
"This...this, this can't be, right?" The village chief hesitated upon hearing this, and subconsciously took a step back.
That makes sense.
Seeing that the village chief hesitated, Shen Wanli said, "I know your good intentions, village chief."
But surely Lord Zheng knew that twenty lashes on Lady Shen might be fatal? For us commoners to interfere with his handling of a case is simply asking for trouble!
"Alas, I was confused. This is indeed something that cannot be done." The village chief was persuaded.
Now that Shen Wanli's family is not ordinary, I can't force them to change things.
Shen Baili, standing nearby, was dumbfounded, his mustache standing on end: "Village Chief???"
It took him an hour and a half to persuade the village chief to come.
Then you were persuaded in reverse by Shen Wanli's two and a half sentences?
Isn't that going too far?
"Baili, don't worry, I will open the ancestral hall and, as the clan head, divorce Shen Wangshi. That way, her affairs will not affect you."
The village chief slapped his forehead and said cheerfully, "Why didn't I think of that sooner? Let's get on it now!"
Let's get out of here!
If he doesn't leave now, he doesn't know how to face Shen Baili!
They are all people you can't afford to offend!
This village chief is such a spineless coward!
Enraged, Shen Baili disregarded everything and launched into a heart-wrenching lecture:
"Wanli, I'm so disappointed in you! In your eyes, do you still have me as your older brother? Do you still have our father? Do you still have our ancestors?"
Having said that, he turned and left!
He was worried that if he didn't leave, he would get his face scratched bloody by that old woman, Tian Guifen!
But to his surprise, he had only taken one step when his knees suddenly buckled, and with a cry of "Ah!" he fell—
With a "thump," he knelt down!
Shen Wanli & Tian Guifen: ...
"Ah! Who! Who?!"
Shen Baili tried to stand up, but found that his knees were sore and numb, and he couldn't stand up at all. He could only stay in a kneeling position!
Shen Wanli pulled his wife away to avoid them.
After all, he was the elder brother, and no matter how resentful he was, he couldn't accept his kneeling!
Shen Liuliu looked up suddenly. Who did this?
She didn't make a move.
Everyone wore gloating smiles, even An An was no exception.
Could it be An An?
“Uncle, are you trying to extort money from us? None of us touched you,” Tian Guifen couldn’t help but mock.
Shen Baili's face turned bright red, and he wanted to curse, but suddenly he found that the back of his knee no longer hurt!
No! You can't yell at them!
Once things fall apart, Pengfei won't be able to ask Lao San for money in the future!
In the end, Shen Baili could only leave in resentment.
"Hmph! You're dreaming! Dream on!" Tian Guifen dusted herself off, glared at Shen Wanli with her slightly cloudy eyes, snatched her daughter, and ran into the house.
Shen Wanli looked completely innocent, his lips drooping: "What does this have to do with me? Why are you glaring at me like that?"
In the kitchen.
While clearing the dishes, Tian Yexiang deliberately made a lot of noise, then said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, how can Uncle always be so shameless?"
As the old saying goes, "Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole!" None of my uncle's children were any good!
Tian Yexiang held her waist with one hand, her upturned eyes filled with sarcasm as she stared intently at Shen Tiantian, as if trying to bore a hole through her!
Shen Tiantian, standing at the door, walked in silently with her head down and biting her lip. She put down the firewood, sat down in front of the stove, and started a fire.
"Playing dead? Shen Tiantian, what are you doing..." Tian Yexiang's words were interrupted by Wang Xiuhe, who couldn't stand it anymore.
Wang Xiuhe sighed and gently advised, "Second sister-in-law, please stop talking. Mother is angry right now, and she'll be even angrier if she hears this."
Why does this second sister-in-law keep bullying Tian Tian?
Sweetie is pitiful and honest, and has never provoked her!
What's more, her mother-in-law in the capital warned her not to bully Tian Tian anymore, so why doesn't she learn her lesson?
"Tch, you think you're such a good person."
Tian Yexiang couldn't stand Wang Xiuhe's nice-natured attitude, so she threw the dishcloth on the stove, turned around, and wiggled her hips as she went back to the west wing.
snort.
Wang Xiuhe reminded her that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood, and given Wang Xiuhe's personality, she wouldn't bother her mother-in-law with something as trivial as washing dishes!
Sigh! If you can be lazy, then be lazy. If you don't take care of yourself, who will?
really!
Just as Tian Yexiang thought, Wang Xiuhe didn't mind doing a little more work. She washed the dishes while trying to persuade Shen Tiantian.
"Sweetie, that's just how your sister-in-law Erming is, don't take it to heart. If you're upset, just tell your third aunt."
"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law."
Shen Tiantian lowered her head, staring blankly at the crackling candlelight in the stove.
Why does everyone dislike her?
Wang Xiuhe finished washing in no time, and then told Shen Tiantian to go home: "I'll watch the fire, you should go home now."
"……good."
go home?
Shen Baili just got humiliated, so if he goes back, he'll just be a punching bag again, right?
Shen Tiantian walked back slowly with heavy steps. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her mother, Da Zhoushi, rushing towards her.
Shen Tiantian instinctively shrank back, closed her eyes, and waited for the slap to come—
