Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

However, the mother and son of the Chen family could not see through the hidden favoritism of the county magistrate and the yamen runners, and were still trying to blur the focus, change the concepts, and make excuses. The previous quarrel on the street was just a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding? Who misunderstood you?

Want to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money! In that case, then come on!

Flames burned in the eyes of the Lin sisters, who said that the previous street argument was a misunderstanding. Then, they and their son sued the Lin sisters for sneaking into their home at night and "killing" Chen Youtian. But where were the witnesses and evidence?

Isn't this a misunderstanding?

Show them the evidence, otherwise, they are deliberately framing them. Also, return their eldest sister to them. They have never shown their eldest sister from the beginning to the end. They reasonably suspect that the Chen family favors the concubine and ignores the wife, and they are afraid that they want to give her sister a death due to illness. Rather than staying in the Chen family and being trampled and bullied, it is better for the two of them to divorce, so that you, the Chen family, don’t have to spend time getting rid of Sister Dahua and make room for the concubine.

"Shut up!" Chen Youtian finally couldn't help but shout. If he let Lin's sister-in-law continue talking, he was afraid that she would be pulled down from the position of the victim and plaintiff, and forced to be charged with murder.

But who does Chen Youtian think he is? Can he stop everyone from talking just by shouting?

Everyone present couldn't help but follow the guidance of the two sisters of the Lin family and think about it. Yes, although what the sisters said was a bit bizarre, it made sense logically. Otherwise, how could we not see the legal wife from beginning to end?

In the final analysis, Chen Youtian was just the type of person who only studied hard. The exams on the Tongsheng exam mostly tested basic knowledge, and the reputation he gained from the exams could at most be used to fool some ignorant women and children, or ordinary people who had a natural liking for scholars.

To truly be able to apply what you have learned, you have to look at the scholars, juren, jinshi, and even the top three scholars in the imperial examination.

Just look at the fact that Chen Youtian failed in the exams again and again, and kept taking them, and you will know that his level has stopped at the level of a rote memorizer.

The county magistrate glanced at the Lin sisters and the Lin family members kneeling on the ground behind them and shook his head.

These two sisters were cruel enough. With just a few words, they were suppressed by the Chen family. If they cannot clear their reputations of being slandered and prove that they have not done anything to favor concubines and kill wives, not only will their titles as students of virtue be stripped, but they will also be beaten with twenty sticks as a warning to others.

Only then did Chen Youtian realize how painful it was to shoot himself in the foot.

The mother and son of the Chen family opened their mouths, but were at a loss for words. Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't come up with a suitable rebuttal.

And, most importantly, they did intend to replace their daughter-in-law, but they did not kill Lin Dahua. She died in the collapse of the house. How could they hand her over?

Finally, under the repeated pressure from the county magistrate, the mother and son shrank back and decided to continue to deny that they had killed Lin Dahua.

After all, the books I read over the years were still of some use. As a scholar, I should be very clear about the law. Once I admit it, the charge of intentional homicide will be immediately confirmed.

So, after all the talk, in the end, the mother and son of the Chen family bit Lin Dahua to death when she was fleeing from famine, and she was carrying wheat and was scattered by other refugees. The concubine also met her on the road and saved her life. She promised to marry him, so he reluctantly took her in.

The Lin sisters couldn't help but laugh. With such a low level of ability, he still dared to jump out in front of them. Wasn't he tired of living?

The Lin sisters seized on this point and said that since the Chen family valued concubines and let the concubines take over the house when the eldest sister was away, then they should divorce. The eldest sister and Maizi and other Lin family members would find a concubine themselves and raise her themselves after they found one, and they didn't want to have anything to do with the Chen family anymore.

How could the Chen family let the Lin family go? If the Lin family had lived a tight and miserable life in the past, they would have wanted to stay away from the Lin family. But now that the Lin family is obviously living a better life, how could they let them go?

Of course that's impossible!

But what can they do? It was the Chen family's fault for being so self-righteous and clever that they handed the evidence to the Lin family.

In addition, the county deliberately favors and slanders others as having bad conduct. There is no doubt that the status of a student must be revoked.

On this basis, if the Lin family insists on suing the Chen family for slander and frame-up, Chen Youtian and his mother will have to be fined twenty strokes of the cane and a fine.

This does not even take into account the Lin family's accusation that the Chen family favors the concubine and kills the wife. If the Lin family is really pushed into a corner and asked to return Lin Dahua and drive away the concubine, will the Chen family agree?

It’s definitely not possible.

Chen Youtian is now a eunuch. He was seen speaking in a timid and shrill voice in the court today. He is such a androgynous guy. Not to mention that he has lost his status as a student. Even if he did, I am afraid no good girl would be interested in him.

If he really drove away the concubine who could take care of people just for Lin Dahua, who was rotting and stinking under the rubble, Chen's mother would be worked like a slave to death in the future.

So, after weighing the pros and cons again and again, Wanwan said that she couldn't drive him away no matter what, so she could only compromise on other conditions.

The county magistrate spoke appropriately to mediate, giving the Chen family a chance to back off. No matter how unwilling Chen Youtian was, he had to grit his teeth and accept the divorce from Lin Dahua. Even Xiao Maizi, who was "lost" with his wife, was written in the divorce agreement as being awarded to his ex-wife.

In exchange, Dabao was awarded to Chen Youtian, leaving a trace of the Chen family's bloodline.

The two sisters of the Lin family readily agreed. This was also because they saw Dabao clinging to the concubine the day before, which made the sisters of the Lin family disgusted.

He doesn't care about his own mother, but sticks to a thing that is not presentable. I don't know whether to say that the child has no brains, or that he knows that his own father likes the concubine and is afraid that his life will be difficult in the future, so he builds a good relationship with the concubine in advance.

Chen Youtian really couldn't give Dabao to the Lin family. First, he was the only child in the future. If he gave Dabao away, he would not have any other offspring. Second, he wanted Dabao to go to his grandparents to ask for money from time to time. If he gave Dabao away, how could he use the child to make plans?

After a cup of tea, Lin Zhaodi couldn't help but smile as she held the divorce certificate stamped with official certification.

Lin Xiaoyue beside her looked calm, but hidden beneath that calm expression were surging emotions.

Undoubtedly, the Lin family is the biggest beneficiary of this transaction. On the contrary, the Chen family, who jumped up and down like clowns, failed to gain anything and ended up shooting themselves in the foot in public.

Not only did he not gain any benefit, but he also widely publicized the farce of the Chen family's student being castrated, and even the student's fame was revoked, which made him the biggest joke in Wanbao Town.

But even though they have lost all their face, the Chen family is still trying to flatter the Lin family.

Unfortunately, the Lin family shared a common hatred for the enemy and refused to buy it, thus parting ways with the Chen family.

That's right, I've already got the divorce papers, why should I play a trick on you dirty-minded people? Stay away from me, bye.
