Sure enough, as soon as Jian Xiu said this, the entire court fell silent in an instant.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu continued, "For more than two years, my husband has been paralyzed for more than two years. We, the fourth family, have always lived like no one else there. Most of the more than ten acres of land are worked by us, and that's fine. We three children have also suffered and lived like no one else."
"Have you ever tried to share half a steamed bun among a family of five?"
"No, right? There is no food at home, and you want to give it to us four families because I have a paralyzed husband."
"It was so hard to separate our four branches, but they were afraid that we would come back again, so they insisted on severing the relationship with us."
"The relationship has been severed, so why do they still come into our yard and take things that belong to us? Did I say that the relationship should be severed? They said so themselves, so is it my fault?"
These words left everyone speechless.
Not to mention the villagers outside, even Old Liu was stunned when he heard it.
She even knew when this bitch Jian Xiu became so eloquent.
But Lao Liu herself knew that if she said anything more at this time, she might really be finished.
Yu stuck his neck out and said, "You're talking nonsense. What you said is true. All of this is true. After Xuan's legs were paralyzed, we..."
"If this is really the case, then you can ask the people in Zhangjia Village to ask. Then you will know whether it is true or not."
Jian Xiu directly interrupted Lao Liu and said.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Lao Liu suddenly became quiet.
He just stared at Jian Xiu in a daze.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Why did you continue talking?" Jian Xiu asked with a curious look.
"You...you are just making up stories!" Before Old Liu could say anything, Zhang Hua on the side spoke up.
"Making false claims? What false claims did I make? What groundless claims did I make? Which fact did I just say? Did I fabricate anything?" Jian Xiu asked in a deep voice.
Seeing Jian Xiu like this, Zhang Hua became furious, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Yu 놆 pointed at Jian Xiu with his index finger and said tremblingly: "You...you..."
But he said the word "you" several times in a row, but he couldn't come up with a reason.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu just smiled coldly, and then continued:
"Does filial piety in your mouth mean that you just do whatever your elders tell you to do? Even when you know it is the right thing to do, do you still do it? If this is really the case, how many more tragedies will there be in the entire Dashun Dynasty?"
"If she asks you to kill someone, will you go? Don't you have your own judgment? Right and wrong are not decided by the elders, and justice lies in the hearts of the people."
"Like my current situation, my parents are harsh and always scold us, my husband is disabled and can't move. If I leave there, there is only one way for us, and that is death."
"I can be myself, but I can't take care of my three daughters. I raised them, and I want to fight for the best life for them."
"After the family was separated, I risked my life and went into the mountains alone to dig pits to catch wild boars and look for prey. What was my purpose? It was also for the safety of my family of five, because I knew that if I did this, my family of five would starve to death."
"Because when I was separated from that family, I didn't get a single grain of food. If I left, my child would die. So I knew that I might be eaten by a tiger if I went into the mountains, but thinking of my child, I still went forward bravely."
"But why should I share with them what I risked my life to get? What's their reason? Just based on what you just said about filial piety? If that's the case, then my family of five must all die at their hands in order to be considered filial piety in your words?"
At this point, Jian Xiu turned around again, looked at the villagers and Mo Shanrui in the court, and said:
"Filial piety is a traditional virtue of our Dashun Dynasty. We must pass on this virtue. I believe that the present generation also thinks so. But if we are foolishly filial, it will obviously backfire. In this way, it will go against the filial piety we talk about now. What is the meaning of such filial piety?"
"We should know that foolish filial piety often ignores our own rationality and logic, and only focuses on obedience and compliance with parents, and even this is only on the surface, and never considers the correctness and rationality of such behavior."
"To me, this kind of blind filial piety is foolish filial piety. This kind of foolish filial piety can only lead to a tragedy for our villagers and family, and may also have a more serious impact on the entire Dashun."
After saying this, Jian Xiu herself felt that what she said was very moving.
"Okay, okay, what I said is very wonderful, really wonderful..."
Just when Jian Xiu was about to say something, she heard a familiar voice coming from the door.
When he looked back, he saw Wu Mingtang clapping his hands and looking at him excitedly.
Jian Xiu: “…” She knew him.
I probably guessed it from the voice just now.
I just didn't expect that Shopkeeper Wu would put down his account books and come here to support me.
I thought he must have just arrived. When I was standing there just now, I didn't see him.
Mo Shanrui in the hall: “…” Judging from the old man’s appearance, it’s obvious that he knows Jian Xiu.
However, Mo Shanrui had to admit that what Jian Xiu said just now was indeed wrong.
Just now, even if Wu Mingtang had called for applause, he would have still clapped.
"This young lady is right. Filial piety is fine, but it cannot be foolish filial piety. The consequences of foolish filial piety for our Dashun Dynasty are completely measurable!" Another familiar voice was heard from the crowd.
Hearing this voice, Jian Xiu shook her head helplessly.
If she guessed correctly, the voice should belong to Mo Shanhuai, the dean of Xuewen College.
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw him standing there staring at Wu Mingtang.
Thinking about the relationship between the two and looking at their current appearance, Jian Xiu wanted to laugh.
At this time, Jian Xiu knew that in addition to the two people, there was another person in the crowd.
