Chapter 64: Risking It All
Speaking of the official order in his hand, he had just obtained it a few days ago.
It was because the higher-ups attached great importance to the cooperation on Qiuli Gao and were afraid that someone would be jealous. If anything went wrong or something unexpected happened, they wanted him to use this official order to smooth things over with the government. Unexpectedly, it came in handy as soon as he got it.
Someone really had their eyes on Jiang! They reported her to the authorities!
He nodded secretly to Jiang Lianzhu, signaling her not to be afraid. With the Lin family snack shop there, it would be impossible to force Jiang to confess, if nothing else.
Jiang Lianzhu gave him a faint smile and accepted the favor from the Lin family dim sum shop.
This put Master Du in a difficult position. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Both the plaintiff and the defendant can continue to testify on their own behalf..."
Dabao felt more at ease when he saw the Lin family. "It was Wang Liu who drove the four of us out. We had already severed ties with the Wang family. After we were driven out, we almost starved to death several times. It was the food donated by kind-hearted people in the village that fed us. The Wang family just stood by and watched."
Mrs. Wang Liu scolded Dabao, "You little brat, you're so young, what the hell do you remember? You've been brainwashed by your mother, so you're definitely going to speak up for her. If we kick you out and cut off all ties with you, do we really need to give you ten kilograms of food? Tell me, honestly, did we give you ten kilograms of food?"
Erbao couldn't help but popped his head out from behind Jiang Lianzhu. "That was because your Wang family had to give us ten kilograms of food rations at the request of the village head. You even wrote a letter of severance to the village head. You kicked us four out of the house, telling us not to cling to your Wang family anymore, saying that it would have nothing to do with us if we starved to death outside, and that you had completely cut ties with us..."
Sanbao's little girl also showed up and gave Wang Liupozi a word: "Bad!"
She was a small girl, but she was not afraid at all. She was only angry at Wang Liupo.
It is so cute and eye-catching that people can't help but want to take a few more glances.
Many townspeople who clearly didn't know these three little ones couldn't help but ask privately outside the government office what was going on and the origins of these three babies.
In the lobby of the yamen.
Mrs. Wang Liu spat and said to Erbao, "Where's the divorce letter? Show it to us! Back then, our family was really struggling and couldn't afford to support so many people. We were worried that you and your mother wouldn't have enough to eat or wear, and would be a burden to our family, so we sent you out to fend for yourselves. But now that you've become rich, you don't even recognize your parents-in-law. It's pitiful that our fifth son didn't even know whether he was alive or dead. He even got married and then fought with his parents-in-law. It's so lawless and unjust! He even taught my three grandchildren to be so uneducated that they don't even recognize us old couple. It's so heartbreaking!"
Jiang Lianzhu recalled the specific circumstances at that time.
At the time, the Wang family disliked her and her mother and wanted to kick them out. Originally, I was unwilling to accept it. How could a woman like her live with so many children? She begged for mercy and refused to leave the Wang family. After being kicked out several times, she always returned. Then, the Wang family asked the village head to write a letter of severance to Originally, asking Originally to give up. Not only did the Wang family press their fingerprints, they also forced Originally to press their fingerprints. As a result, Originally, I was unwilling to accept it and tore the letter in half and threw it away...
Now, the Wang family is taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Lianzhu doesn't have a letter of severance, and that's why they refuse to admit that they are kicking her out of the house, but are splitting up the family.
The original self was that idiot! He tore up the severance letter and tried to deceive himself, but he never thought that it would bring them trouble now.
Let the shameless Wang family catch this opportunity and sue them.
Of course, even if there is no severance letter, it is the same if there are witnesses.
It's just a little more troublesome.
"Master Du, the severance letter is missing now, but when the Wang family kicked us out, everyone in our Wangjia Village saw it. Many people also saw the severance letter at the time. It's true. You can summon people from our Wangjia Village to testify."
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu finished speaking, several voices were heard outside the yamen.
"I can testify. My name is Wang Duoyu, and I'm from Wangjia Village. A year ago, the Wang family drove Jiang and her son out. I was there."
"I can also testify. My name is Wang Fangniu, I am from Wangjia Village, and I was there at the time."
"Yes, we can all testify. We all saw Lao Dejing write the letter of severance and even put his fingerprints on it..."
…
Old Man Wang immediately objected, "Master Du, Jiang is now making a fortune from her autumn pear paste. Most of the villagers in our Wangjia Village work as helpers in her household and are paid by her. They will definitely speak up for her. What's the point of these people coming to testify?"
Lord Du and Mr. Ji looked at each other.
Lord Du slammed the gavel again, "Stop making any noise. People who work for Jiang's family are not allowed to testify. If you do, your testimony will not count and you will be suspected of perjury. Anyone who makes any more noise will be expelled on the spot."
Everyone was frightened and fell silent.
At this moment, a thin girl, with nervousness in her eyes but firm steps, walked into the yamen.
"Sir, I'm here to testify that I've never worked for the Jiang family. I'm the granddaughter of the old Wang family. My name is Erya. My father is Wang Laosi of the old Wang family. I'm the eldest daughter of the fourth room, Wang Erya."
After saying this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Lord Du in the court.
Jiang Lianzhu didn't expect that Erya would be so brave to speak up for them.
The two brothers Dabao and Erbao shook hands excitedly. It was no wonder that they had lifted the roof of Old Wang's house and spoken for their sister Erya.
In the future, if they can go out, they will definitely be nice to Sister Erya, give her delicious food, protect her, and not let others bully her.
When Mrs. Wang Liu saw Erya, she cursed in a low voice, "You little girl, have you lost your mind? Go back! Who told you to come here? Are your parents dead? Why are you running around?"
Wang Erya was unmoved and went all out.
The reason she came here was that she was planning to break off with the Wang family.
She couldn't survive in Old Wang's house anymore. If her parents didn't leave Old Wang's house, she would take her sisters and live separately.
Since she didn't plan to continue living in Old Wang's house, she was naturally not afraid of Wang Liu and the others.
She is going to testify for Jiang and the others!
He said in a crisp voice, "Sir, I can prove that my grandparents drove Jiang's mother and son out of the house. At that time, my grandparents wrote a letter of severance and even signed it with their fingerprints. Half of the people in our Wangjia Village saw it at that time.
As for the ten kilograms of food rations, it was the village head grandfather who asked for them from the Wang family because he saw how pitiful Jiang and her son were. The Wang family's land was basically bought with the wages from Uncle Wu's escort work. If we divide the family property according to the normal way, Jiang and Dabao should get half. But grandpa and grandma didn't want to share, saying they were given ten kilograms of sweet potatoes and told them to get out..."
