The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Gu Yin called Zhang Meihua into the carriage, raised the indenture in her hand, and asked, "You really don't know what's going on?"

Zhang Meihua lowered her eyes, "I don't know..."

Gu Yin's face turned grim. "Look up and answer. Are you sure you don't know?"

Zhang Meihua hesitated for a long time before slowly raising her head. She did not dare to look at them and whispered, "Common women..."

"Think it over before you answer. Your indenture is in my hands now. If you want to get help, you must first be honest."

Zhang Meihua's eyes suddenly turned red. She bowed her head and knocked on the carriage, crying, "Please, county lady, be kind and help me..."

"I am a common woman... I was sold by force by my husband..."

"My husband is addicted to gambling. He lost a month ago and owed a large sum of money, so he sold me..."

"I have a pair of children at home. Now I have been sold. If he loses again in gambling, he will definitely sell my children as well... Please let me go back and take my children out. Then they can serve you like slaves..."

When talking about sad things, Zhang Meihua burst into tears.

Gu Yin and the other two looked at each other. They had originally guessed that there must be something fishy going on here, but they didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Ye Ningxin frowned and said, "Daji Law clearly stipulates that no one can buy or sell women from their parents' families at will. Violators will be severely punished."

"Since you are a decent woman, even if your husband wants to sell you, the government cannot sign or seal the contract of sale."

Zhang Meihua looked up at Ye Ningxin, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Just say it!" Gu Yin reminded.

Zhang Meihua then said, "Minzhu doesn't know any law. If there is any problem in the village, they will go to the village chief. As long as they pay enough money, the village chief will help find someone to handle it."

"Moreover, the county magistrate of our Dashi County accepted bribes and oppressed the people. The people of Dashi County all know it..."

Zhang Meihua stopped talking and began to beg Gu Yin again, "Please let me go home. I will come back to help you after I pick up my children..."

"Don't you want justice?" Song Ruorou asked from the side.

Zhang Meihua said, "Although I have little experience, I also know that the people should not fight against the officials. How dare I, a commoner, go to the government to seek justice..."

Song Ruorou was quite disappointed, "Are you just going to let those people who hurt you go?"

Zhang Meihua lowered her head and said nothing.

"You go out first." Gu Yin asked Zhang Meihua to leave.

Zhang Meihua didn't dare to say anything more and could only get out of the carriage.

Song Ruorou pouted and was still a little angry, "Ayin, why don't you let me continue? She has been sold, why don't you seek justice for yourself."

Gu Yin calmly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Song Ruorou, "Why are you still so easily angry? Come, drink a cup of tea to calm down first!"

Song Ruorou took it and swallowed it.

Gu Yin said with a smile, "She is right. How can a commoner like her have the ability to fight against the government?"

"Don't you have help?" Song Ruorou was still angry. "She clearly knew that you were the county lady, didn't she ask you for help?"

Gu Yin was helpless, "Do you think everyone is as helpful as you? Even if Zhang Meihua knew that I was the county lady, how could she be sure that I was willing to help her?"

"Besides, even if I am willing, I am only the county lord of Ning County. How can I have the ability to extend my hand to Dashi County in Nanshui County?"

Song Ruorou pursed her lips and said nothing. Although she knew that this was the reality, she still refused to admit defeat.

Ye Ningxin said gently, "Ayin is right. Zhang Meihua knew she couldn't win, so she begged Ayin to let her go and take her children back."

"Does she have that ability?" Song Ruorou doubted.

"It's hard to say. After all, a mother is strong." Gu Yin said calmly, "But since we have encountered this matter, we might as well help her."

"How can we help?" Song Ruorou suddenly became alert. "How about we go to Dashi County and beat up the county magistrate?"

"I think you haven't fought for a long time, so you're itching to fight, right?" Bu Yin really wanted to open her brain to see what was inside. "You've come all the way to fight in another county. How can you be so ridiculous?"

"Beat up corrupt officials, punish evil and encourage good, how awesome it is..." Song Ruorou muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Gu Yin glared.

Song Ruorou shrank her head and said weakly, "Nothing, nothing, just talking..."

Don’t trust her!

But now is not the time to talk about this. Gu Yin looked at Ye Ningxin and said, "How about you write a letter to your father about this?"

Ye Ningxin's father is the governor of Nanshui County. This incident happened in their Nanshui County and should be managed by him.

Ye Ningxin smiled and said, "No need to be so troublesome. Jingyu happens to be planning to go back in two days, just leave it to him!"

"That would be great." Someone was worried, and Gu Leyue felt relieved. "In that case, let Zhang Meihua go back with you, and then let your nephew take her back with you."

Ye Ningxin had no objection.

The three of them separated halfway and went back to their homes.

As soon as Gu Yin returned to the county government office, he was stopped by his father, "Yin'er, where are you going?"

"Dad!" Gu Yin greeted his father and said hurriedly, "I was just about to go home! I put two winter melons in the well this morning. They must be very cool to eat now. I have to go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late and I'm afraid Chen Heng and Chen Jun will eat them all!"

Gu Huaiyi's mouth twitched, "Didn't you just eat this morning?"

“That’s just the beginning…” Gu Yin disagreed. She could show off two in one day!

"Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?" Her father usually avoided her, and he suddenly stopped her, so there must be something going on.

Gu Yin went over it in her mind. All the projects were progressing smoothly and there didn't seem to be anything to worry about recently.

"Cough!" Gu Huaiyi coughed to cover up, "Nothing, I just want to ask you something..."

"what's up?"

"It will take a while to finish this. Since you are in a hurry to go back and eat melons, your father will go back with you."

"Talking as we walk."

My daughter just said there are some delicious winter melons, so he is in for a treat.

As for the winter melon, the harvest this time is only about one or two thousand kilograms.

He kept a dozen for his own family, gave a few to the county government, and gave a few to a familiar friend. After giving them all away, Gu Yin felt that he did not have enough to eat.

Zhang Letian and his friends wanted to buy it with a large sum of money, but were sternly rejected by Gu Yin!

Just kidding, you can go without food in summer, but you can’t go without watermelon!

The two of them returned to the backyard.

As soon as she entered the yard, Gu Yin saw Gu Chenjun holding a big watermelon, and Gu Chenheng was also holding it with both hands underneath, fearing that the watermelon would be broken.

Gu Yin was in a playful mood and rushed over to grab the watermelon, shouting, "Let me do it!"
