After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy
Chapter 9 The Magistrate's Son
Thinking of this, Baili Zheng felt hot inside.
Looking at Su Rongrong was like looking at a savior.
But his expression was not obvious. When he saw that no one said anything after he finished speaking, he cleared his throat again.
This time he looked directly at Su Rongrong and spoke frankly.
"My lady, I have already achieved the title of a scholar, and my father will be here soon to serve as an official.
I see that the girl seems to be in trouble. Is there anything I can do to help?
Don't worry, if you have any grievances, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."
After saying this, he was afraid that the other party would not trust him, so he took out a document from his sleeve pocket.
"This is my scholar clerk, my name is Baili Zheng.
My father, Baili Chen, will come here to serve as the county magistrate in half a month."
No one present, including the village chief Liu Quan, had expected that the person who came to stay at their home temporarily would be the future son of the county magistrate.
I can't figure out why he came here in the first place and got involved in these things.
Chief Su, who had just finished saying harsh words to Su Rongrong and was about to leave, turned around quickly after hearing this.
What was waiting for him was Su Rongrong walking towards Baili Zheng in full view of everyone.
For Su Rongrong, it doesn’t matter who the other person is, as long as he can help her.
She didn't want to get into any more trouble, nor did she want to get too involved with the Su family in this matter.
So when I got closer, I reached out and took the document.
She couldn't understand these by herself, but the original owner did.
The original owner's father, Su Zizhen, was a scholar and had his own scholar documents.
Su Rongrong, the eldest daughter, had seen him and was very familiar with him.
So after reading the document and confirming its authenticity, he bowed to the other party.
"Master Baili is a man of honor and the son of a county magistrate, so I naturally trust you.
I have no choice but to come to this point.
Since you are willing to make the decision for me, I will be extremely grateful.
My late parents were both people with whom I had only a shallow relationship.
In Sujia Village, there are no close relatives except the clan members within the five generations of kinship.
Since they passed away, I and a few younger brothers and sisters are left alone.
Therefore, the clan members occupied all of my house and land under the pretext of clan rules and care and adoption.
Now my adoptive family wants to sell me for a concubine, which is completely leaving me no way to survive.
I don’t have any other requests now. I just beg to be separated from my supporter and get back what belongs to me.
As for my younger brothers and sisters, if any of them don't want to support the family anymore, they can leave as well.
Besides that, I want to separate my father’s branch from the Su family.”
No one expected that Su Rongrong would speak so bluntly.
It would be fine if Baili Zheng was from Sujia Village, after all, it is not honorable to take over a family.
Although everyone in the village knew about it, no one intervened or said anything.
However, it would be a different story if it got out to the public. Not only the Su family members would be made fun of, but also the people in Sujia Village.
You know, before people talk about the Su family, they will first say what village or clan they are from.
Because of this, while Chief Su and others were angry, they also hoped that Baili Zheng, an outsider, would be more sensible and not interfere in the affairs of their tribesmen.
But they also knew that the other party had an extraordinary background, and if they really wanted to interfere, they would be helpless.
After all, the people do not fight against the officials, so they just need to let the Su family members do the hardest and most tiring work when they are serving labor.
When that time really comes, it will be unknown how many of those who left will come back!
Baili Zheng already knew everything about Su Rongrong before coming here.
After hearing these words, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the Su chief and others who were holding torches in the distance.
"Is the person in front of us the patriarch of the Su family? Is what Miss Rongrong said true?"
Patriarch Su wanted to say that it was not true, but the Su family’s land was indeed taken away by them, and no land was given to Su Rongrong.
So he was silent for a while before saying, "Master Baili, this is a matter between my clan members. Please don't interfere and let us handle it ourselves."
Baili Zheng shook his head: "That won't do!
If you could handle it yourselves, there wouldn't be any words like what I just heard, "If you have the guts, go to the government and file a complaint."
Besides, Miss Rongrong said that there is no way to survive, which involves people’s lives, and it is not just a matter within your clan.
Since ancient times, people of the same clan have always taken care of the widows and orphans.
But as Miss Rongrong said just now, it is rare to take care of people like you who aim to wipe out your entire family.
Now he is forced to leave to support his family and take back his belongings.
It’s such a simple request, but you threatened to exterminate our clan.
This eating posture is too ugly no matter where it is placed!"
Baili Zheng knew without even looking how ugly the faces of those old men from the Su family were.
He then concluded: "Now that Miss Rongrong has come to me for help, I will ask the government to handle this matter.
Tomorrow morning, I will personally go to the county government office and inform Lord Wang of this matter.
It will be up to Lord Wang to decide what the verdict will be.
If Miss Rongrong is not in a hurry, she can wait for half a month.
When my father takes over the case, I can’t guarantee anything else, but getting back a few acres of land and the house should be no problem.”
When Chief Su and others heard that Baili Zheng was completely on Su Rongrong's side, they could no longer remain calm.
He hoped in his heart that Baili Zheng was not the son of a county magistrate at all, but he also knew that the possibility was almost zero.
So he hesitated for a moment, then shouted to Su Rongrong:
"Rong girl, this is all a misunderstanding.
As for your father's branch, I really can't make the decision right now.
As for the two acres of land that belongs to you, I will have someone send the title deed over right away.
Master Baili is a noble man with many things to do, so we don't need to bother him."
When Su Rongrong heard Chief Su admit his defeat, she said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Mao Lin!
I know that my younger brothers and sisters are not doing well.
I just want to ask them if they are willing to leave their supporting family.
If you want to leave, I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Mao Lin.
After all, I don't want to trouble Master Baili again and again about this kind of thing."
Baili Zheng came here for Su Rongrong, so naturally he stood on her side unconditionally.
Hearing this, he added: "I am currently staying here. If Miss Rongrong has anything to do, don't think that it will trouble me. Just come."
Chief Su and the others' faces turned pale when they heard this, but in the end, due to Baili Zheng's presence, they could only respond with a perfunctory "hmm".
They planned to ask those supporters to come over and discuss how to solve the problem after they returned.
It is enough for a family to have an outlier like Su Rongrong. We must not let the other children follow suit...
Baili Zheng saw that Chief Su had left, so he said to the follower behind him: "Da Hu, go and get Miss Rongrong's land deed."
"Yes!"
After the follower named Da Hu left, Su Rongrong thought it would be better not to bother two masters with one thing, so she shamelessly asked:
"Master Baili, I am living on my own now. I wonder if there are any rules for living alone?"
