The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

But Gu Qinghuai didn't want his elder brother to go back and forth, so he didn't let him go.

Seeing her elder brother crawling around on the broken wooden board, she felt very uncomfortable.

What a handsome and tall man he was before, now...

When she goes out tomorrow, she has to find a way to customize a wheelchair for her eldest brother. She will draw the sketch of the wheelchair tonight.

Although I can only draw a rough outline, but in that era there were horse-drawn carriages and wooden carts, and carpenters should be able to draw it out by analogy.

It is more decent and dignified to let my brother go out in a wheelchair than to have him crawl on a wooden board.

He Lizheng, whose full name was He Maoshi, was also exiled to Qinghe County during his grandfather's generation.

There was a wooden table in the neat and simple main room. Gu Qinghuai and Zhao Ying were sitting on the west side of the table, and He Li was sitting on the east side of the table.

He Lizheng is in his early thirties, of medium build, with regular features and a righteous look.

Although he is thin, his eyes are bright and lively.

He Lizheng's wife, Luo, was busy pouring tea for Gu Qinghuai and her daughter.

Luo is in his early thirties, with a sweet look and a friendly smile on his face. What he says is also very comfortable. He is enthusiastic but not excessive. He is a smart person who knows how to behave.

After Luo finished her work, she sat next to He Lizheng and pulled the soles of his shoes, but her attention was on Gu Qinghuai and Zhao Ying.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Gu Qinghuai did not beat around the bush and directly stated that he and Zhou Liuya had severed their ties with the Zhou family and wanted to settle down in her mother's family.

He Lizheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Xiao Huai, your husband passed away and you returned to your parents' home. Of course I have to register your household registration. You were originally a girl married out of our Tuniu Village. But this Zhou Liuya... is a member of the Zhou family. Are you sure the Zhou family is willing to let you go?"

Gu Qinghuai said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Uncle Lizheng, Liu Ya left the Zhou family of her own accord and severed ties with them. This is because her parents are not human beings and they plan to sell her to a brothel in two years."

Zhao Ying immediately agreed: "If this child stays in the Zhou family, it will be ruined."

Luo pulled the cotton thread on the sole of her shoe and nodded, "How bizarre! How can there be parents like this?"

He Lizheng was obviously a little surprised. After a moment of shock, he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Uncle He is just worried that if you bring the Zhou family's daughter out, the Zhou family will not give up and make trouble for you."

Without waiting for Gu Qinghuai to say anything, Luo smiled and asked, "Xiaohuai, your parents-in-law are not easy to get along with, especially your mother-in-law, who is stingy and domineering, a jerk. Will she agree to let you go back to your parents' home?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying looked at Gu Qinghuai nervously.

Gu Qinghuai knew that Luo was worried that the Zhou family would come and cause trouble and create trouble for He Lizheng.

It is normal for people to have this concern. After all, no one wants to get into trouble.

Gu Qinghuai simply confessed everything: "Uncle He, Aunt Luo, to be honest, I have always been bullied by my parents-in-law in the Zhou family. I can only drink wild vegetable soup every day, but I have to do heavy work like a cow or a horse. It is the same even when I am pregnant.

My parents-in-law are very patriarchal and don’t treat our youngest daughter Zhou Liuya as a human being. When Duoyin was alive, he could still protect us, but after Duoyin died, we definitely had no place to stay in the Zhou family.

Maybe Duoyin had gone to the underworld and could sense that our lives were difficult, so he appeared in my parents-in-law's dreams every night, asking them to let me go back to my parents' home and take Zhou Liuya with me.

My parents-in-law refused to agree at first, but later they had nightmares every night and were constantly paralyzed by ghosts. They were very afraid that Duoyin's ghost would linger and lure them to the underworld, so they wrote a letter to release their daughter-in-law and sever the relationship. Uncle He, please read it!"

Gu Qinghuai showed the letter of release to He Lizheng.

Zhao Ying already knew all this, but after hearing it again, she couldn't stop wiping away her tears.

Her daughter has a hard life.

Luo also sighed repeatedly.

After reading the letter, He Lizheng's eyebrows relaxed: "Indeed, there is nothing wrong with it. It was written on June 15th."

Gu Qinghuai squeezed out a few tears and continued, "But, just when I was packing my luggage and preparing to take Liu Ya away from the Zhou family, my unkind parents-in-law secretly sold me to Wu Quezi from Qingpo Village.

Uncle He, you should know who Wu Quezi is. After I got the news, I secretly found the transaction receipt in the middle of the night while they were asleep, and then fled back with Zhou Liuya. Uncle He, look, this is the transaction receipt. "

Gu Qinghuai handed over the credentials again.

"What a vicious mind! He's so cruel for a few taels of silver!" He Lizheng slammed the table in anger, "Who is that Wu Quezi? He thinks it's a loss to marry Zhou's old woman to him!"

Luo looked at her man, frowned slightly, and slowed down her movements.

While He Li was checking the evidence, Gu Qinghuai wiped away her tears and said, "Daxia law stipulates that widows cannot remarry during the period of mourning for their husbands. My parents-in-law have violated the law. Moreover, the letter of separation of the daughter-in-law is also written clearly, so even if the Zhou family wants to cause trouble, they dare not go too far. Otherwise, I will go to the government to sue them. Zhou Duowen and Zhou Duocai are both going to take the imperial examinations, and they can't ignore it."

He Lizheng nodded, looking at Gu Qinghuai with eyes full of praise, "Xiaohuai, you are doing very well. You are brave and resourceful in doing things. You hold the evidence in your hands and can stand your ground at any time. You have really improved a lot compared to before. Don't worry, Uncle He will do it as soon as possible-"

Before He Lizheng could finish his words, Luo tugged at his sleeve and said, "His father, although we feel sorry for Xiao Huai, we can't just believe what Xiao Huai says. We should investigate it thoroughly. We can't afford to offend the Zhou family."

Zhao Ying hurriedly explained: "Her aunt, my little Huai is telling the truth."

Mrs. Luo still spoke in a gentle tone: "Sister Zhao, I know Xiao Huai is pitiful, and I feel sorry for her, but it's not easy for everyone. My husband--"

"Alright! I know my limits!" He Lizheng interrupted Luo and glared at her coldly, "I'll take care of Xiao Huai's affairs! If the Zhou family comes to make trouble, so what? Can they destroy my entire village?"

Gu Qinghuai: I was destroyed in the last life, just because you collected the body of my brother. But I won't do that in this life, Uncle He, I will protect you from now on!

Luo's eyes turned red and he stopped talking.

Gu Qinghuai's face was filled with guilt: "Uncle He, Aunt Luo, I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

He Lizheng waved his hand, "Why are you being polite? You are a married girl from our Tuniu Village. If your in-laws don't treat you well, you should go back to the village! I will get you and Zhou Liuya's household registration done as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, Uncle He." Gu Qinghuai stood up and bowed to He Lizheng, "Uncle He, don't worry, I still have a trump card here, the Zhou family won't dare to go too far.

Moreover, the selection of the next chief of Zhuting Town is about to begin. Zhou Lizheng of Zhoujia Village has been planning for this position for a long time, and you hold a vote in your hand."

Zhuting Town selects the next head of the township through voting by the headmen of the ten villages under its jurisdiction.

Hearing this, He Lizheng looked at her approvingly again and said with a smile: "Okay, uncle got it! When did you become so cunning, girl?"
