The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chapter 193 Grow Up and Stop Being a Naughty Monkey

"This is our Li family's property, how did it become someone else's?" Li Guaizi's uncle was a little unhappy: "Village Chief, are you trying to embezzle our Li family's property?"

The village chief didn't want to get entangled with these people, so before coming, he asked the errand boy to harness the ox cart. Now that the ox cart arrived, he called a few more people to go and report to the police together.

The Li family was a little panicked when they saw that the village chief was really going to report to the authorities. Farmers were most wary of dealing with the government, as they always felt that no matter whether they were right or wrong, they would be skinned alive.

I don't know what the village chief of Anning Village is thinking. It's just a trivial matter of dividing the family. If Lin Ge'er is driven away, they will share one share. The village chief only needs to issue a certificate. There is no need to alert the government.

They looked at each other and thought that perhaps it was because they were from other villages and had not brought any benefits to the village chief by coming to Anning Village to do business, so he deliberately made things difficult for them.

Li Guaizi's uncles and aunts came to the village chief and whispered to him that they would be reluctant to give more, but giving them two or three taels would be fine.

The village chief glanced at him, found a chair to sit down, and began to settle the accounts with the Li family.

From the time Li Guaizi died until his funeral, even if the people who helped did not give any gifts, the cost of purchasing the coffin and building the mourning shed would have cost one or two taels of silver. Then, including the gifts, the coffin bearers would have cost sixty-six cents, the grave diggers would have cost twenty-four cents, and other helpers would have cost twelve cents, still amounting to one or two taels of silver.

In fact, this is calculated according to the hiring price. Many people from the village come to help just to show their appreciation. If their family conditions are really poor, they will just be given a few cents to support their pockets.

But Li Guaizi had never helped anyone because of his poor legs and feet, so no one in the village owed him a favor, so naturally the salary had to be calculated according to the hiring price.

All the things needed for the coffin and the mourning shed were paid for by the village chief out of his own pocket, and now that the Li family was giving him a benefit, they had the nerve to ask for two taels.

We also need to see if these two taels of silver are enough to hold a funeral.

The Li family felt their teeth ache when they heard the numbers announced by the village chief. In the village, people basically help each other when doing things, so how could they give such a high reward?

But thinking that Li Guaizi's house and land together were worth at least thirty or forty taels of silver, he did not refute the village chief.

"We acknowledge it, and we will give you money after the family is divided."

The weather was good today, and the ox carts were running happily. We didn't have to wait too long before the person who went to report to the authorities came to Anning Village with two yamen runners.

"The police are coming, the police are coming." Someone shouted, and many people looked towards the village entrance.

As the ox cart approached, the yamen runners got off the cart and the villagers automatically made way for him.

Because Yan Zhenshen was tall, even though he was standing at the back, the yamen runner could see him at a glance, and he smiled at him, "Brother Yan."

Yan Zhenshen also nodded. He recognized this yamen runner. He was the one who always guarded the side door. When they went to the county government to do business before, Xiao Ge'er often gave him mountain products.

The villagers were not surprised that Yan Zhenshen knew the yamen runners. After all, the chief clerk, the general, and the county magistrate had all appeared in Yan's family. Recently, a scholar came and was said to be the dean of an academy.

Compared to this, this yamen runner is a little inferior.

The bailiffs came only to understand the situation. The specific verdict was still up to the county magistrate. They would ask the necessary questions and make sure that it was not a false report. Then they would take the person to the county town.

It is said that the government will not investigate unless the people report it, but as long as someone reports it and it is confirmed that losses have been caused, the government will still take care of it.

It just depends on the severity of the case. There is no need for the county magistrate to step in for such a problem. The county magistrate, the chief clerk or the legal advisor can all make a judgment. They just need to give the case document to the county magistrate to stamp it.

Not only the Li family were taken away, but also the village chief and Brother Lin, who could be considered a victim.

Brother Lin was still very weak, so he asked two aunts to accompany him.

Many idle men in the village also went to join in the fun. In fact, there was nothing interesting about this fun. You can imagine that the government wanted to keep things quiet and asked the Li family to give some compensation.

But Yan Zhenshen knew that the village chief's purpose was not this little compensation, he wanted the government to settle the case of division of the family.

Although he is the village chief, even if he tells these people the laws of Daxia, they will not listen. They will only say that he is biased. If he directly tells them to go to the government to let the county magistrate decide the division of the family, these people will probably not go at all.

If you don't separate them, they will come to make trouble often, and the final result is self-evident.

If he went to the yamen runners to discuss the matter of dividing the family property, they would not make this trip, so when he saw the place had been turned upside down and smashed today, he came up with this idea on the spur of the moment.

"Boss Yan, I'll go with you to take a look. Please tell my mother when you get back." Wang Wu patted Yan Zhenshen on the arm.

"Yeah." Yan Zhenshen responded and turned to walk towards Wang Wu's house.

When he returned to Wang Wu's house, he didn't even need to say anything. Seeing Yan Zhenshen coming back alone, Wang's mother knew that Wang Wu must have gone to join in the fun again.

And why should I join in the fun? I had already heard what the aunt of the aunt who just passed by said.

"You are still a mess in your twenties." The Queen Mother scolded with a smile, and did not forget to praise Yan Zhenshen: "Your mother is lucky, the boys in your family are very steady."

Yan Zhenshen: “…” It seems that Aunt Wang’s memory is not very good. She has often scolded him as a naughty boy in the past and even let Young Master Wang Wu hang out with him.

"Aunt, Brother Shen and I will go back first." Chu Xiao came out of Luo Ge'er's room when he heard the voice and greeted Queen Mother.

"It's okay to go back during the New Year. Eat here before you go." The Queen Mother politely asked him to stay: "I will stew cured pig's trotters for lunch. You can also bring a bowl back for your mother."

Chu Xiao waved his hands quickly. Who would take the food away if they couldn't finish it? In fact, there was nothing wrong with staying for dinner, but Wang Wu was not at home, and it would be a bit awkward for Yan Zhenshen to stay here alone, so they politely declined.

—……

The next day, Wang Wu ran to Yan's house excitedly, holding a big bowl of cured pig's trotters in his hand.

But his focus was not to give gifts, but to come over and gossip.

When they arrived at the yamen, they did not see the county magistrate, but as luck would have it, the person who handled the matter was Lu Zhubu.

Especially when it comes to the laws of Daxia, it seems that it was Xiao Ge'er who said it.

Chu Xiao quickly refuted the rumor: "It's Dean Qiao, I don't understand the law."

Even if you understand, you have to pretend not to understand. After all, ignorance is not a crime. You never know when ignorance can save your life.

It was clearly stipulated in the laws of Daxia that when the family was divided, Lin Ge'er would naturally get 60%, while Li's uncles would only get 20%. The final 20% would be decided by the government. That was not a difficult thing to do. It would all be considered as compensation for the damages caused by Li's family members, and would be given to Lin Ge'er.

The funeral expenses were divided equally and borne entirely by the families who received the property. So all in all, Brother Lin didn't pay much.

Brother Lin was completely shocked at the time. He had never expected this outcome. He cried for joy, kowtowed to Master Lu, then to the village chief, and finally kowtowed to all the villagers who had helped him and thanked them.

The men, who originally thought this was unreasonable, were speechless for a moment.

Those aunts wanted to hug the people and cry together. This was the first time in their lives that they knew that even if the woman and the boy died, the man could still live alone with the children.
