Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Zou Shiye was also a smart man. After Dong Laohan's family accompanied him into the county town, they were detained and not allowed to return to the village.

Then the government sent runners to Huaihua Village and nearby villages to beat gongs and spread the news, urging anyone who knew the truth about how Zhou Changkuan's family suffered to go to the county government to testify three days later, that is, at the hour of si on March 20th.

Anyone who testifies and speaks truthfully will receive a reward of 500 coins.

When this incident happened, the surrounding villages were in an uproar. In contrast, in Huaihua Village, almost all the people who participated in the incident were scared to death.

Some of the timid ones even packed up their valuables and belongings at home overnight and ran away with their family.

Three days later, someone discovered that more than ten households in the village had left their homes, even the chickens and ducks they raised.

Zou Shiye did not expect that things would go so smoothly. Not only Li went to the county government to testify, but also Zhou Changkuan's wife's family and three families from the nearest Dalius Village.

The most surprising thing was that someone from Huaihua Village turned himself in. It was not someone else, but Zhou Jun's biological father, Old Man Zhou.

Under Zhou Jun's careful care, he was now able to walk shakily with the help of a cane. Zhou Jun pushed a cart all the way to the county government office.

The old man Zhou no longer had a temper, and would do whatever his youngest son told him to do. He also understood that he had three sons and three daughters in his life, and only Zhou Jun, the youngest, had a conscience.

Since his youngest son asked him to come out and turn himself in, he was already half buried in the ground, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Old Man Dong’s face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.

Zou Shiye slammed the gavel and shouted loudly:

"Dong Dacheng, now that things have come to this, do you admit your guilt?"

Old Dong was so frightened that he trembled all over, knelt down again, and said in tears:

"Please spare my life, sir! I have been bewitched. The rumor in the village is that Zhou Changkuan's wife is a vixen. If she is not burned to death, no man in the village will survive. I have no choice but to do this. Please spare my life..."

Nan Rongyuanzhi, who was listening on the side, sighed and said:

"Ignorance kills people!"

Zou County Magistrate was also filled with emotion. There were many people watching today, and he hoped to take this opportunity to change more people's ignorant thoughts.

So he said:

"The fruits on the trees are all twisted and deformed, and the three-leafed wood sorrel occasionally has four petals. They are all living things, and the fetus in the mother's womb is no different.

If a family gives birth to a deformed baby, the family is already in great grief. As outsiders, we should give comfort instead of inhumanely making things worse!

I hope that after this incident, everyone will take it as a warning and become a person with conscience. Don't use the excuse of demons and ghosts to harm others. The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. It's not that there is no retribution, but that the time has not come. Today is the best example! "

After he finished speaking, he slammed the gavel and made the final judgment.

As the village head, Dong Dacheng instructed the villagers to set fire and kill people, which is aggravated by breaking the law. He was dismissed from his post as village head and imprisoned in the prison, and the verdict will be made after the autumn trial.

Except for the villagers of Huaihua Village who voluntarily came forward to testify, all the remaining villagers were fined three taels of silver per household and given to Zhou Changkuan's family as compensation.

As for the old man Zhou who voluntarily confessed his guilt, considering his good attitude and his advanced age, his son Zhou Jun took the punishment on his behalf and was given ten strokes of the cane.

After hearing the verdict, Zhou Changkuan laughed loudly and suddenly fell backwards. The people nearby quickly supported him.

After Nan Rongyuanzhi took his pulse, he shook his head helplessly.

"The inner body has been exhausted for a long time. I don't know how he managed to hold on until now. I wonder if he still has any family? Prepare his funeral well!"

When Zhou Changkuan's wife's family heard this, they all gathered around and cried.

At this point, the matter finally came to an end.

Sister Zhou Xiaoxi and Zhang Jiaojiao took this opportunity to vigorously promote their soon-to-be-opened health club. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, famous doctors will give free lectures on medical knowledge and health care knowledge.

Zou Shiye didn't mind the three girls' actions at all. Instead, he helped promote them.

With the help of the county magistrate, many onlookers asked about the address of the health club, its business items, etc.

Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but ask Nan Rongyuanzhi:

"Uncle, Huichuntang is the signature of the Nanrong family. Are you really willing to let three little girls mess around?"

"Chang Qing, you underestimate these three! In my opinion, the Nanrong family has been stagnant for many years. The talents of those young people are average and they are not up to the task.

Your grandfather is too conservative and a bit stubborn. If there is no breakthrough, it is only a matter of time before the Nanrong family falls into decline."

Xuanyuan Yan had always known that this uncle did not think highly of the current head of the Nanrong family, his eldest brother, and his own grandfather. But this was the first time he heard such an accurate evaluation - stubborn and self-righteous...

If his grandfather heard this, he would probably be furious! After all, his grandfather always gave people the impression of being dignified and reliable.

Seeing that most of the onlookers had left, Zhou Xiaoxi came over and said to Nan Rongyuanzhi:

"Grandpa Divine Doctor, shall we go to Huichuntang now to discuss opening a health club? Then we can go to the site together to have a look. The decoration is almost done now. Please give us some suggestions."

"Okay, I'm also very curious about what the health club you three little girls have set up will look like. I hope you won't let me down when the time comes!"

Zhou Xiaonan said with a smile:

"Just wait and see. We girls can hold up half the sky! We are no worse than boys!"

"Hahaha, women hold up half the sky. What you said, little Nan, is really original and ambitious!"

Zhou Xiaonan proudly put his arm around Zhou Xiaoxi, raised his chin and said proudly:

"I learned all this from my sister. My sister is the best!"

Zhou Xiaoxi: Girl, you want to send me to heaven!

Li was busy with the workshop and went back to the village without joining the others.

Zhou Xiaoxi and his companions went directly into the backyard of Huichuntang through the side door.

The charcoal fire in the reception room made the whole room warm, the water in the kettle was boiling, and various snacks were placed on the table.

After everyone was seated, Doctor Zhang looked at Zhou Xiaoxi and said:

"Little Xi, you've long said you'd learn how to make tea. Now that everything is ready, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Xiaoxi seriously suspected that Dr. Zhang was deliberately taking revenge on her today because she felt sorry for the good tea leaves that she had wasted before.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she could only say helplessly:

"Let me make it clear first, no matter how it turns out, please don't laugh at me."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

Fortunately, I have been practicing for a while, so my technique is not unfamiliar. I put my hand close to the kettle, feel the heat coming out, and pour the hot water into the tea bowl when I feel it is appropriate.

Rise, fall, return, stand still, dampen, shake, lift, out, drip, turn, appreciate and return; the twelve steps of serving tea in a covered bowl are done in one go. Although it cannot be described as flowing like water, it looks barely acceptable.

After pouring the brewed tea to everyone one by one, Zhou Xiaoxi held up his chin and watched everyone taste the tea with great satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, the office worker in her previous life has now begun to understand some exquisite traditional culture! If she has the opportunity in the future, she will definitely learn everything she is interested in.

Even if you can't master it, at least you should dabble in it. Then choose the one you like and have talent for and keep learning it, and strive to achieve success.
