Not to mention the two of them, even Old Man Zhang, who was the most rational at this time, had a glimmer of hope slowly rising in his heart.
Yes, why didn't he think of it just now?
No matter what they are like, they are still Jian Xiu’s elders.
Treating elders like this is unforgivable.
What's more, she dared to be so cruel to her own mother-in-law, which was even more sinful.
Seeing this, Old Liu shouted to Mo Rui again: "Please, sir, do it for us?"
After hearing what Lao Liu said, Zhang Hua beside him also said quickly:
"Sir, it's more than that. Look at me. There is not a single good spot on my body. She even...even locked the two of us in a pigsty. We stayed there for a whole night. Is this person capable of doing anything? I, Zhang Hua, have never seen such a vicious woman in my life..."
When he said this, Zhang Hua even slapped the ground in front of the courtroom excitedly.
I was afraid that others would see me as aggrieved.
On the other hand, Zhang Rong and Fang Miaojuan never talked to each other from beginning to end.
When the situation is still clear, they will naturally start.
Chen Sixi was the same. When he saw his husband like this, he felt really distressed.
Yu looked at Jian Xiu fiercely, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Jian Xiu, you bitch, are you also afraid of being punished by God?"
Sure enough, this scene immediately aroused discussions among the villagers outside.
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Tianrui shouted again: "Quiet, quiet!"
However, Jian Xiu, the person involved, has never opened her mouth.
Before she came here, she had probably guessed that Lao Liu and the others would bring this up.
What elders, what filial piety, in her eyes, that's all bullshit.
She wanted to interrupt them, in order to see if they had any other tricks besides talking about filial piety.
If not, then it's her turn to make a move.
After they said this, they didn't speak.
Only then did Jian Xiu feel relieved.
It seems that they have never been like this.
"Jian Xiu, do you have anything else to say? You know, as a plaintiff, according to the law, if you fail to win the lawsuit, you can not only pay the money, but also bear the punishment of ten boards."
"I know, and I also have something to say!" Jian Xiu said to Mo Tianrui openly.
"Oh? Then tell me!" Mo Tianrui asked directly.
In fact, Mo Tianrui had a good impression of Jian Xiu. At least she did not leave him even after her husband became paralyzed.
This is extremely easy for a woman.
What's more, she came here to file a complaint today, and her face was always open and honest.
Mo Tianrui has solved many cases, and he can basically tell who is a human and who is a ghost at a glance.
Just now, when Zhang Liu and the others came, they shouted that they were innocent, which was clearly a sign of a guilty conscience.
While Jian Xiu was listening to them crying out for injustice, she still didn't say a word.
And he listened to their explanation calmly.
It was obvious that she had known they would say this.
It must be said that this is a wise woman.
Although Jian Xiu was not looking at Lao Liu, Mo Tianrui's sight stayed on her, and it was difficult for her to ignore him.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu kissed her lips coldly again, and then replied:
"Sir, before I answer your question, may I ask you a question?"
"Oh? Excuse me!"
"Sir, what is filial piety?"
"Filial piety is to be kind to one's parents. Filial piety also starts from respecting elders and taking care of the elderly. The most important thing is to be kind to parents. Of course, in reality, filial piety requires not only supporting and respecting parents, but also passing on the family line... However... filial piety cannot be blindly filial. It also depends on the situation and the beginning, the personality of the elders. If you meet reasonable parents, blindly being filial will only help the elders grow up, which can be unmanageable and lead to big mistakes."
After saying this, Mo Tianrui finally understood why Jian Xiu asked him this.
After realizing Jian Xiu's intention, Mo Tianrui himself was surprised.
It seemed that he just answered her question unintentionally, but ended up being 'used' by her.
Thinking of this, Mo Tianrui laughed at himself again.
He is really afraid, and what he said is also true.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Jian Xiu pulled the corner of her lips.
He took a step forward and said to Mo Tianrui: "So, what the adults said just now, can I understand it as foolish filial piety?"
Mo Tianrui: “…” What can he say at this time?
Say yes?
Still say you can?
As a county magistrate, he knew that no matter what he said, he would be suspected of favoring one side.
So he didn't plan to answer her question.
And Jian Xiu seemed to know Mo Tianrui's current situation, she didn't even intend to ask him to answer.
And the villagers behind her pointed at her and whispered:
"I heard what you said just now, but do you know what our four children do in that house? What kind of life do we live in?"
After saying this, Jian Xiu paused deliberately, wanting to wait for their answers before speaking again.
Sure enough, after hearing Jian Xiu's words, one of the villagers boldly stood up and accused:
"No matter what she is, she is still your mother-in-law, your elder. Even if you have great reason, you can't treat her so severely?"
"Get in the skirt, Lu Yaoling strips off Wu Si for the second time."
"Oh? Really? Then do you know that her son, my husband, was almost killed by them?"
Having said this, Jian Xiu did not wait for her to answer, and started again:
"You know, you know even more clearly, the anger I felt when I saw my husband lying on the ground covered in blood, not breathing much. So where was she as a mother at that time? Do you know?"
When saying this, Jian Xiu pointed at Lao Liu with her index finger, her eyes full of sarcasm.
"Do you know? Then let me tell you, she was rummaging through my house for my silver. When her son was beaten to a bloody mess and lying on the ground, half-breathing, she was rummaging through the house for the silver I was risking my life to go deep into the cave to catch wild boars and sell for money. Do you think she deserves sympathy for such a person?"
"If you think it's worth it, then just ignore what I said."
