The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter

"In reply to your words, I, He Meng, am here to seek justice for my daughter He Erhua. The Fu family beat and mistreat my daughter and granddaughter. I want He Erhua to break off all ties with the Fu family and take my granddaughter back to her parents' home."

Meng Lan began to cry, and she saw the young yamen runner's admiring eyes through her peripheral vision. Then she wiped away her tears and began to cry and plead.

Meng Lan talked about how He Laoliu died early and she, a widow, raised six children. She also talked about how she was "deceived" by the Fu family and their daughter was married to a man in town.

Now, even if she died of exhaustion or starvation, she was determined to take her daughter and granddaughter away from the Fu family, this den of tigers and wolves.

After listening to Meng Lan's story, everyone present had tears in their eyes. Some sentimental women even put themselves in Meng Lan's "miserable" situation and couldn't help wiping away their tears.

His hatred for Fu Xinren increased. He was unworthy of being a scholar, and even more unworthy of being a human being.

They threw eggs and vegetable leaves at him and thought it was a waste!

After listening to Meng Lan's story, the county magistrate was also very angry. He wished he could cut Fu Xinren into pieces immediately and eliminate this black sheep for them, the men and scholars.

But when he heard that Meng Lan wanted to take He Erhua and Fu Xinren's daughter away, he couldn't help but frown.

Fu Xinren had been beating and mistreating He Erhua for years, and Fu Xinren had admitted it himself. As long as her parents were willing to take He Erhua away, the estrangement would be a foregone conclusion.

However, He Erhua left her husband's family and wanted to take her daughter Fu Yinzhang with her, which was actually a bit difficult to do.

After all, Fu Yinzhang's surname is Fu, and he has Fu family blood in his veins, so he should stay in the Fu family.

Even if He Erhua broke off her relationship with the Fu family, which was equivalent to divorcing her husband, she would not be able to take Fu Yinzhang away smoothly if the Fu family did not agree to let him go.

The county magistrate, who had just felt that he was omnipotent, suddenly looked depressed.

No matter how capable he is, he can't go against the law.

"Please, sir, help us!" "Please, sir, help us!" Meng Lan and a group of people started crying.

"Old lady, please get up first. I have learned about your daughter's matter. I will definitely give He Erhua justice today!"

The county magistrate looked at the increasing number of people gathering around to watch, and quickly regained his normal expression. He would help as many people as he could to escape from suffering, and he would do his best.

"What a man you are, Fu Xinren! You beat your wife and mistreat your own daughter, and yet you are still a scholar? Do you still have any respect for the law and morality?" The county magistrate loudly rebuked Fu Xinren.

Fu Xinren and Old Lady Fu, who were in the wrong, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Since you have admitted this fact, I will sentence you two to sever ties today. He Erhua will no longer be a member of the Fu family. You have no moral integrity, so you might as well not read this book! I will have your name removed from the academy from today on."

Being kicked out of the academy basically meant that his future was ruined. With his reputation, even if he studied hard at home and wanted to take the exam, no one would guarantee him a place to register.

Such a punishment can be said to be very severe.

Therefore, generally speaking, scholars who value their reputation will not abuse or beat their wives. If they don't like their wives, the worst that can happen is that they will treat them coldly and treat them like a vase at home. Is it really necessary to beat them and leave room for gossip?

People like Fu Xinren are both stupid and evil.

After saying this, the county magistrate paused before continuing.

"Since your Fu family treats your daughter Fu Yinzhang harshly, you probably don't want her. Let her leave the Fu family with He Erhua. Fu Xinren, do you have any objection?"

When Fu Xinren thought about the fact that he had nothing now, he looked at He Erhua not far away with a face full of resentment.

It’s all this unlucky woman’s fault. If he hadn’t been involved with her, why would he have ended up like this?

What's wrong with him hitting her? Doesn't she know how to bear it? What's wrong with him looking for women outside? If she wasn't such a shrew, which made him feel sick, would he go out and spend money like this?

He Erhua clearly did nothing, and she was even the victim, but Fu Xinren was still the first one to hate her.

Fu Xinren thought, since he would never have a good life in the future, why should He Erhua have a good life?

Since He Erhua wanted to take Fu Yinzhang away, he would not let her do as she wished.

Since He Erhua loves Fu Yinzhang, he will make Fu Yinzhang suffer in the Fu family every day.

He wanted He Erhua to suffer a hundred times more than he did! He wanted He Erhua to regret today's decision!

Thinking of this, Fu Xinren raised his head and uttered a few sinister words.

"Sir, I have an objection. Fu Yinzhang is my daughter. She has Fu family blood in her veins, so she should stay in the Fu family."

After saying this, Fu Xinren smiled coldly at He Erhua.

For a moment, He Erhua seemed to be fixed in place. She felt cold all over, and great fear struck her heart. This was what she feared the most. Yinzhang was her life, and she could not live without Yinzhang.

Suddenly, He Erhua felt a warm hand holding her hand. She looked at the owner of the hand and it was her mother Meng Lan.

He Erhua felt that her mother seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance, and the warmth from the back of her hand made He Erhua feel at ease.

Meng Lan was not panicked at all when she heard Fu Xinren's words.

On the way here, she was thinking that although the old woman of the Fu family could not spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, she was right in saying one thing. If the Fu family insisted on keeping Fu Yinzhang, Fu Yinzhang had the blood of the Fu family flowing in her body, and it would be difficult to take her away.

At that time, Meng Lan suddenly remembered a description in the original book about the death of the second daughter.

After He Erhua was beaten to death by Fu Xinren, Fu Xinren sold Fu Yinzhang for money and redeemed a brothel girl and married her. Although it cost a lot of money to redeem a brothel girl, Fu Xinren didn't spend much.

But not long after, the woman ran away with the Fu family's money. Meng Lan vaguely remembered that the woman seemed to be called Miss Shaoyao.

So on the way here, she quietly asked He Tianci if he knew who the woman who was having an affair with Fu Xinren was.

He Tianci said that she was a famous brand in the brothel, with the elegant name Shaoyao, and she just turned eighteen this year.

Meng Lan had an idea as soon as she heard it.

The Fu family would most likely not let Fu Yinzhang go, so she had to have a backup plan. As a result, she secretly sent He Tianci away on the way here.

If she calculated correctly, they should be here soon. Meng Lan estimated the time in her mind while Old Lady Fu was cursing there.

"Yes, how could we, the Fu family, let you take us away! If you, a bitch, leave, then that little bitch will take your place and work like a slave in the Fu family!"

Because it was a divorce by marriage, and He Erhua had been married for so many years and had a child, the ten taels of betrothal gift would definitely not be taken back.

Old Mrs. Fu was heartbroken, and now when she heard her son express his intention to keep Fu Yinzhang, she became excited again and attacked He Erhua with gritted teeth.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a tender female voice suddenly came from outside the crowd, "Fu Lang, save me!"
