Chapter 116: Expelling Mrs. Lin's family and breaking off relations with the eldest daughter-in
Liu Sheng finished speaking.
Several soldiers immediately rushed forward.
Even the Wang family members from Wangjia Village who had surrounded Old Lady Lin were unable to stop her and were directly pushed away.
Two soldiers raised their hands to lift up Old Lady Lin's arms, and then one soldier stood in front of her.
It was swung in a circle, with a "snap" sound.
The slap falls!
"Hmph!" Old Mrs. Lin had never endured such a beating before, and she subconsciously let out a muffled groan.
'Snapped! ''Snapped! ''Snapped! ’
Without giving her a chance to speak, the soldier carrying out the execution swung his hand in the air, delivering each slap quickly, accurately and fiercely.
He slapped her hard on the face.
In less than ten slaps, Mrs. Lin's face was visibly swollen.
A pair of eyes were beaten so hard that they couldn't open.
The mouth is a little crooked.
Seeing this, Lin Ze, the third son of the Lin family, finally reacted:
“Stop…stop it!”
"My mother is old and cannot withstand such severe punishment."
"Master Liu, Master Liu... please let my mother go. She's just a country woman. Don't bother with her."
"Let me take the punishment on behalf of my mother!"
As Lin Ze spoke, he started crying.
Liu Sheng looked at him and thought to himself: What a filial son he is.
But...if you really want to take this punishment on behalf of your mother, shouldn't you just block it with your face?
The hypocritical filial piety who was crying and wailing but his body remained indifferent.
Therefore, Liu Sheng's impression of Lin Ze became even worse.
It almost dragged myself down and became the opposite of the noble person.
There are also big problems with character.
I really don't know how such a person could pass the examination to become a student.
After the twenty slaps were completed, the soldier shook his hands vigorously.
numb!
Every time he swung his fist, he used all his strength to hit Old Mrs. Lin, knocking out two of her teeth and even twisting her face.
You can imagine how strong the force that hit his hand was.
"Master Li? You said you wanted to taste tea, right?" After seeing the soldier return to his side, Liu Sheng turned around and asked a landlord next to him.
Seeing this, the landlord nodded repeatedly:
"Correct!"
"Let's go! Let's go back and have some tea instead of standing here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Sheng directly took the landlord's hand and walked towards the back.
Everyone saw this and quickly followed.
After the county lieutenant left.
The Wang family members in Wangjia Village all looked at Old Lady Lin with sneers.
Village chief Wang Dakuo spoke at the right time:
"Mrs. Lin, please speak nicely this time. How do you plan to compensate me?"
Faced with Wang Dakuo's questioning, Old Mrs. Lin was confused and couldn't react at all.
The county lieutenant sided with the people of Wangjia Village without asking why, and even took the opportunity to slap himself twenty times.
The teeth were loose and two of them even fell out.
"Grandma Lin, it seems you still refuse to accept your fate!" said the village chief Wang Dakuo, signaling two men from Wangjia Village to come forward and lift Grandma Lin up again.
Feeling the armpits passing through her two arms again, Mrs. Lin woke up instantly.
He shouted in panic:
"I'll pay!"
"I accept the loss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dakuo had already squatted in front of her and asked kindly:
"Only one chance."
"Think carefully before you speak."
"Sixty cents..." Old Mrs. Lin murmured softly, and then she felt a hurricane suddenly blowing from the right.
Suddenly screamed and changed his words:
"Five...five times!"
"No, ten times!"
"Six hundred coins per catty. I am willing to compensate Miao Miao at the price of six hundred coins per catty!"
The terrified and hysterical roar reached everyone's ears.
When the Wang family members in Wangjia Village heard the price, their gloomy expressions improved a little.
But the village chief Wang Dakuo had watched Miaomiao grow up, and now seeing her half-dead, he was naturally heartbroken. In addition, she had already severed her relationship with Wang Shen, and there was no one to help her anymore.
This compensation must not be less.
Thinking of what Wang Miaomiao had said before, Wang Dakuo pondered for a moment and said:
"Neither the price nor the quantity is acceptable."
"According to the current price of food for those fleeing famine, one ounce of silver is worth a pound of aged corn."
"And Miaomiao had both food and water. You stole at least eighty kilograms of food, and with the water, it makes up a full one hundred kilograms."
"In other words, you have to pay Miaomiao one hundred taels of silver!"
Wang Dakuo's words could be said to be directly cutting into Old Lady Lin's flesh.
Under normal circumstances, Old Lady Lin would definitely have a fight with Wang Dakuo.
But now, after the county lieutenant slapped her twenty times and was then held up by the Wang family, she didn't dare to refuse at all.
The pain of the slap is still vivid in my mind.
She didn't want to suffer anymore.
As for the money...I can only give it to you first and find a chance to get it back in the future!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin responded in panic:
"can!"
"Let go first...let me go, I'll take the money from my pocket."
Seeing this, Wang Dakuo signaled the two men who were holding Old Lady Lin's arms to let go and allow Old Lady Lin to move freely.
Soon, she took out a few banknotes from her pocket.
The denominations are quite large.
There are two worth one hundred taels alone!
Not to mention those scattered small silver bills, a rough estimate is more than 280 taels, which was an absolute wealthy family in the previous Wangjia Village.
Old Mrs. Lin took out a silver note worth one hundred taels with a distressed look and handed it to Wang Dakuo.
His eyes were full of reluctance.
After Wang Dakuo took the banknote.
He said to the villagers:
"Let's break up!"
"I've received the compensation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
But the crowd did not disperse.
Wang Dakuo frowned slightly when he saw this.
Then a member of the Wang clan shouted:
"Village chief, the money has been compensated."
"But her family can attack the Wang clan members where we can't see them. Are you still going to allow her to continue to follow my clan members as they migrate south, and ask me to protect her?"
As soon as these words came out, several voices echoed:
"Yes, village chief!"
"She's in our group. What if she takes advantage of us not paying attention and steals the food from our Wang clan members and bullies the elderly and the weak? What should we do?"
"As a member of the patrol, I will never protect someone who bullies my own people!"
"..."
These decisive voices clearly meant to expel her family! Old Lady Lin listened with cold sweat on her forehead.
She knew very well what would happen if she encountered a group of refugees while walking outside.
With no one to protect her, her family of eight, the elderly, the weak, women and children, would definitely be eaten up!
"No...no!" Old Mrs. Lin looked at the village chief Wang Dakuo, her eyes full of pleading.
But faced with the villagers' indignation, the proposal
It was impossible for Wang Dakuo to pretend not to see it.
Otherwise, how could these tribesmen be willing to disperse like this?
Jia Shan, who was standing by, was even more embarrassed. After pondering for a long time, he pleaded with the Wang family members:
"I have no objection to the Lin family being expelled."
"But my daughter and two grandchildren are innocent."
"From today on, my eldest daughter will sever ties with the Lin family. My two grandchildren will be adopted into my name and I will raise them on their behalf. Is that ok?"
