Shaohua is Junqing

"I told He Xin that I wanted to divorce him, but he disagreed. I tried to persuade him several times but it didn't work. Then, somehow, he agreed, but he made very unreasonable demands."

"any request?"

"All the money, land, and property in the family, anything that can be sold for money belonged to him. Not only that, he also said that he didn't care about the children, and he didn't care about his parents. He made my parents-in-law very angry. I thought about it carefully. If I let him continue gambling, this family will be dragged down by him sooner or later. In order not to be dragged down by him in the future, I agreed to his request."

"and after?"

"After I divorced him, I took my parents-in-law back to my parents' home, but not long after, he came to my house to ask for money. At first, I gave him some money out of consideration for our past relationship, so that he wouldn't starve to death on the street. But later, he became more aggressive, coming to ask for money more and more often, and the amount he asked for became larger and larger."

"My mother's family is not well off to begin with, and now we have to support the whole family, so we are already struggling financially. We really don't have any extra money to give to He Xin. Besides, I have already divorced him and we have nothing to do with each other anymore. My mother's family's things have nothing to do with him, so he has no right to take them."

"If you don't give He Xin money, will he rob him?"

"What the adults said was true. Later, I stopped giving him money, and he got so angry that he started to rob me. I stepped forward to stop him, but he kicked me to the ground. He then started to beat me. When the two children saw me being beaten, they came forward and hugged his legs. But he didn't stop and started to beat the children instead."

"The children are so young and don't understand anything. The matter has nothing to do with the children, but he doesn't care about the father-son relationship at all." Ying Niang shed tears as she spoke.

"Why is He Xin like this? He doesn't care about his wife and children, and he doesn't even want to take care of his parents. He is such an unfilial son!"

"That's right. He even gave up his family for gambling and tried to rob the woman's property. He has no conscience."

"Going there to gamble is fine, but he actually beat his wife and children. How inhumane!"

After listening to Ying Niang's narration, the onlookers began to criticize He Xin, and their voices became louder and louder.

"Silence." The county magistrate slammed the gavel.

"I have a general understanding of the circumstances of this case. I need to further investigate and verify your statement. Please go back and wait for news."

"I'll take my leave." Seeing that the county magistrate had taken the case, Ying Niang stopped talking and did not stay for long, thinking that there would be a fair judgment soon.

"That He Xin usually looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be a beast who abandoned his wife and children."

"Not only that, he even ignored his biological parents and spent all his time gambling. But Yingniang was kind-hearted. Even though they had divorced, she still took in her parents-in-law."

"Alas, Yingniang is such a kind person, how could she meet that beast He Xin?"

Ever since Yingniang sued He Xin in court that day, people on the streets have been talking about this matter.

He Xin is a very open-minded and shameless person. He doesn't take anything seriously what his neighbors say or scold him and just does what he has to do.

"You said the county magistrate has taken over this case for many days, but he hasn't summoned Yingniang and He Xin to inquire about the case. What's going on?"

"What else can it be? Our county magistrate is so lazy that he just eats, drinks and has fun. When have you ever seen him handle a case seriously?"

"That's right. There have been countless incidents of all sizes in our county over the past few years, but I've never seen this county magistrate handle any case seriously."

"They are all messy and confusing. Our county magistrate is too lazy to take care of them."

At first, people were discussing the case, but then they started talking about the unreasonable county magistrate, and everyone was complaining about his behavior!
