I unlocked the heroine's chance in the book exile
Chapter 17 Zhou Ye, a commoner, becomes a criminal
Zhou Jinran was thinking that she would go and cause trouble for the eldest wife, but they actually jumped out on their own initiative.
In that case, don't blame her for being rude.
"Aunt, everyone in the second house of the Zhou Mansion knows this. If you don't believe me, just ask them. If you think they have a grudge against the first house and are afraid that they are lying, then you can write a letter to the capital and ask the servants who used to be in the Zhou Mansion.
The masters of the other branches of the second house knew more about them. Every time their niece fell ill, they would send servants to ask for a doctor for her, but they always failed. It was always the elder brother who took their niece to the clinic outside for treatment.
Not to mention the doctor, even since my niece was old enough to understand, my niece and my brother have never seen the Zhou family send us a monthly allowance, let alone clothes for all four seasons.
Even the thing about raising children that my grandfather just talked about, even my father has never experienced it. My grandfather forgot it, so don’t you know my father?
Everyone in the capital knows that my father is of the same generation as me. He grew up relying on the money left by his aunt."
Now, Zhou Jinran didn't need to tell her who her father was. Old Lady Zhou Er stared at Zhou Jinran intently, as if she wanted to skin her alive.
But will Zhou Jinran care?
Of course not. This damn old woman couldn't do anything to her father before. Does she think she can control her now?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jinran felt unsatisfied and looked at Bai hesitantly again.
When Bai saw her like that, her eyelids twitched. Before she could open her mouth, Zhou Jinran spoke first.
"Aunt, it suddenly occurred to me that you don't need to go to such trouble to ask others for confirmation. I think Sister Yan can tell you, too."
Zhou Jinyan's appearance at this moment no longer showed the arrogance she had when she went to her yard.
As soon as she saw Zhou Jinran mentioned her, she hurriedly looked towards Jiang Qingyao, but Jiang Qingyao's eyes were not looking here at this time.
"Ran girl, your sister Yan doesn't know about these things, she..."
"Aunt, so you know me, then why do you seem to have forgotten me and my brother over the years? Is it because you are too busy as a housekeeper?
But Sister Yan is also a great housekeeper, why don’t you let her help you share some of the burden?
Don't you know that on the second day after Sister Yan got engaged to General Jiang, she ran to your niece's yard early in the morning to help her niece discipline the servants?
That was the first time Sister Yan had visited my niece’s yard in so many years. Only then did my niece know that Sister Yan wanted to try out the feeling of being a housekeeper in advance so that she could take over Madam Jiang’s housekeeper power once she married into the Jiang family.”
Mrs. Jiang in the crowd wanted to jump out and beat and scold that little bitch when she heard that Zhou Jinyan was thinking about her Jiang family and wanted to take over the housekeeper power.
Fortunately, the Jiang family stopped her. The Jiang family cannot get involved in the current situation.
"I was wondering how could such a good talker come from the Zhou family? It must be hereditary."
Zhou Jinran pretended not to understand what the old woman said and directly changed the target of the bombing.
"Grandma, so you also remember your granddaughter's father?
It’s a pity that his father is no longer with us, otherwise he would definitely be as filial to his grandparents as his fourth uncle and others.
But it doesn’t matter, when my granddaughter and brother grow up, they will also fulfill their filial duties on behalf of their father.”
When Zhou Jinran said this, people around her looked at her as if she were a fool.
You're trying to be filial, but you don't even consider whether the old lady will appreciate it. You're trying to be filial, but you don't even consider your own body. I'm afraid you're not doing it for the money.
Apparently Mr. and Mrs. Zhou also thought so, so they did not ask for any retirement money and asked Zhou Jinan to sign the documents before.
It was as if he was afraid that if he was a second slower, these two people would come close to him.
When Zhou Jinran saw that he had obtained the document, he shook his hand on his sleeve. The sharp-eyed old lady was very agile at this time. She ran over and pulled Zhou Jinran's hand out.
At this moment, Zhou Jinran was holding a silver note with a value of ten taels in his hand.
Seeing that everyone was staring at the banknotes in her hand, Zhou Jinran looked at Old Madam Zhou with innocent eyes.
"Grandma, when I say I am doing my best to be filial to my father, I really mean it. The remaining banknotes were given to me by my father's good friend to buy medicine for me when he left Beijing."
"Hmph. That sounds good, but why didn't you take it out right away?"
After hearing what the old lady said, Zhou Jinran first glanced at the person who had just given the money, then glanced at the yamen boss, and said in a low voice,
"Grandmother, when we were at the gate of the capital, His Majesty said that we common people cannot help criminals, otherwise we will be reduced to criminals.
Isn't it okay that I see that my fourth uncle and the others have given the money?
Look, I was just about to take it out, but you can’t wait any longer.”
Although Zhou Jinran's voice was low, the surroundings were very quiet and everyone naturally heard her words.
At this moment, the faces of the people who had just given the money suddenly changed. The higher-ups don’t care whether you give pension money or not.
As long as you give money, you are aiding and abetting the evil.
The prison guards had stern faces and came towards Zhou Jinran, swinging whips in their hands.
As soon as the yamen head came over, he took the banknote from Zhou Jinran's hand and said
"Since you and your brother have not succeeded in helping others, I will let you go this time, but the money will be confiscated. Do you have any objections?"
Just kidding, the reason Zhou Jinran took out the banknote with the smallest denomination was that he had no intention of keeping it.
"No problem, sir, please confiscate it."
When the yamen boss saw that Zhou Jinran and his sister were tactful, he stopped staring at them and instead looked at Master Zhou Er with a smile.
At this moment, Master Zhou Er couldn't stop wanting to strangle Zhou Jinran to death.
Unfortunately, the Zhou family members are all within Zhou Jinran’s retaliation range, so they are not afraid of their thoughts.
"Sir, this is for retirement. His Majesty should agree, right?"
Master Zhou Er held the silver, which was not even warm yet, with a painful look on his face.
"What do you say?"
The three careless words spoken by the yamen head struck Mr. Zhou Er's heart heavily.
On the other hand, other prisons have taken out new torture instruments and are ready to put them on those who pay money.
Among these people, some were originally criminals, but like Zhou Ye, their family was originally commoners.
But now he has become a sinner.
Of course, this was also his usual disguise, otherwise he would have been part of the group of sinners from the beginning.
When Master Zhou Er saw the situation over there, he had no choice but to take out the money quickly.
You have to take it, after all, being whipped doesn't feel good.
After an hour of commotion, the post station finally became quiet again.
At this time, there were many people in the crowd looking at Zhou Jinran.
There were some gazes full of malice, and even if Zhou Jinran didn't look he knew who they were.
It would be better to wait until they are far away from the borders of the capital and find an opportunity to deal with a venomous snake like her fourth uncle Zhou Ye.
The Jiang family and several people in the Jiang family also blamed Zhou Jinran at this time.
After all, the good way of asking for money by dividing the family property has been blocked.
The matter of the post station was temporarily over, but at this time in the imperial palace in the capital, some people were discussing the affairs of the Zhou family.
