Chapter 927
927 Good Idea
Magistrate Liu listened to the old woman in front of him, with tears and snot in her eyes, cursing and exaggerating the unfilial actions of her third son.
When Lord Liu and his subordinates heard this, black lines appeared on their faces.
Lord Liu asked again, ” you’re saying that you’re suing your third son for being unfilial because you asked them to work in the fields, but they didn’t do it? ”
Li Cuihua nodded nervously and fearfully. “Yes, sir. As their parents, shouldn’t they do whatever I tell them to do? But they’re horrible for letting us down.
“No matter how I asked them to work, they … ignored me! They just let the family’s ten mu of land be abandoned there. They went there instead!”
She pointed in the direction of a mountain.
Lord Liu asked in confusion, ” what is that place? Is there a problem with their family working there?”
Li cuihua’s frightened eyes stared at Lin yuelan, who was next to Lord Liu, not daring to speak.
Lin yuelan smiled at Lord Liu and said, ” Lord Liu, that place is another slope that I bought.”
This time, Lord Liu was even more puzzled. “Oh, miss Lin, is that your property? But why would her son work for you?”
Li cuihua’s sharp voice suddenly rang out. She said, “Sir, you don’t know this. This rebellious daughter actually forced her parents to work for her without any pay. My Lord, this jinx wants to make my son’s family work for her for free.”
Ha …
Lord Liu and his subordinates were even more confused.
How did this involve miss Lin?
Lord Liu immediately said sternly, ” this woman, what nonsense are you spouting? How come I didn’t understand a single word? If you want this official to make a decision, why don’t you tell me everything clearly?”
However, Lord Liu and his subordinates noticed a strange phenomenon. The surrounding villagers were laughing, but why did it seem like they were mocking and disdaining him?
How were this mockery and disdain?
They did not understand.
At the sight of the county magistrate’s authority, li Cuihua immediately became timid. She opened her mouth several times but didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Lin Daniu suddenly knelt in front of Lord Liu and said helplessly, ” Lord, it’s like this. The person my mother wants to Sue is my third brother, Lin Sanniu, and this d * mned B * stard … Lin yuelan, who is standing next to you, is my brother’s eldest daughter. My mother is Lin yuelan’s grandmother, and I’m her uncle.”
Hearing his words, magistrate Liu immediately looked at Lin yuelan suspiciously as if he wanted to confirm whether this person was telling the truth.
If these people were really Lin yuelan’s family, why was Lin yuelan so indifferent when she saw them kneeling in front of her?
But before Lin yuelan could speak, Guo Bing came over and said, ” Lord Liu, this man is telling the truth!”
Lord Liu’s heart skipped a beat. Then, he heard Guo Bing say, ” Lord Liu, miss Lin and Lin Sanniu are indeed father and daughter.
“However, four years ago, miss Lin cut off her blood to return to her father and cut off her flesh to return to her mother. She had completely severed all blood relations with this family. My Lord, you also know that before the end of the year, His Majesty issued an imperial edict all over the country regarding the reform of the ‘laws of filial piety’. Children who are abandoned, sold, cut off relatives, adopted, and so on have already cut off their relationship with their original parents. Similarly, they have also cut off all ties with their original family. Unless these children were willing to acknowledge these relatives and show filial respect to them, they could not be forced.
“So, miss Lin can be said to have nothing to do with their family now!” Guo Bing pointed at Li Cuihua and Lin Daniu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a disdainful tone, ” since Lin Sanniu has nothing to do with miss Lin anymore, there’s naturally no such thing as a daughter forcing her biological parents to work.”
Everyone looked at li Cuihua, Lin Daniu, and the others with a look of disdain and ridicule.
“As for why Lin Sanniu would rather work for miss Lin than go home to work, I believe everyone here is astute. You just need to ask, and you’ll know!”
He didn’t care to talk about the Lin family’s matters.
Hearing Guo Bing’s words, Lord Liu frowned slightly, then gave a look to his subordinate. The subordinate immediately understood and left without a sound, walking towards the place with people in the distance.
