After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

If there is something wrong, the officials may not bother with Lianhua, a village woman, but as the village chief, I don't want to be promoted. But I want to stay in this position for the rest of my life, and I can pass this position to my son in the future.

I can make some money at the end of a month. Yuntao's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and as the village chief, I get more benefits from her.

Now many people in the village are keeping an eye on my position, and I can't lose my position because of the lotus matter.

"Sir, Sir, Lianhua is a country woman, she doesn't know anything."

The village chief immediately pulled Lianhua aside.

He whispered to Lianhua, "Lotus, stop making trouble, or the officer will arrest you. Don't let Old Zhang's problem go unsolved, and you get yourself in trouble. If you go to jail, what will happen to Zhang San?"

"Lotus, don't forget why we came to the government this time."

Lotus was suddenly stunned. Yes, she came here because she wanted to get some money. The head of the family was dead, so she had to make use of her remaining energy.

"Village Chief, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Lotus was very nervous.

The village chief said angrily, "What else can we do? We can only listen to the officials. We are just rural villagers, what else can we do?"

The village chief himself felt deeply helpless. The ancients had a deep fear of working in the government office.

The person who came out was the legal advisor, and the magistrate did not show up at all.

The village chief hadn't seen the magistrate and had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask.

Just stood there stupidly.

Lianhua saw it and became extremely anxious.

At this time, the master spoke up, "The deceased, Old Zhang, was found to have drowned after our coroner's examination. He was walking at night and accidentally fell into the river and was drowned by the river water."

After the master finished speaking, he asked everyone to leave immediately.

Lianhua was dumbfounded. Not only Lianhua but also the village chief was dumbfounded.

The two were forcibly driven away.

When the other two young men heard the master say this, they left immediately, running very fast.

The village chief felt more and more uncomfortable and immediately ran to the yamen, but was stopped by the yamen runners.

He whispered, "Master, don't go in there. It's useless unless you give me silver. The current county magistrate won't look at tens or hundreds of taels of silver. You need at least a thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, you'd better go back. I've seen the body. He was drowned. It rained heavily upstream and the water level was high, so he was washed downstream."

"Besides, the deceased was walking at night and took a shortcut. It was dark at night and he couldn't see the road, so it's not surprising that he accidentally fell into the river."

"Master, if you don't have the silver, go back. Otherwise, we won't investigate this case thoroughly."

"Sir, you can't see the magistrate now if you don't have money, and he won't see anyone. If you don't have money, don't waste your time."

The village chief suddenly remembered a saying, "The beginning determines the rest of your life."

Poor people suffer the most in any era. When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer.

At this time, Lianhua opened her mouth and said, "Sir, why don't you arrest the person who sent us to be the head of the family?"

The official was unhappy. "Auntie, you should be conscientious. They carried your master to the government office. If it weren't for them, your master would have been soaking in the water until he was eaten by the fish and shrimp in the river."

Lotus felt embarrassed when she heard this. Indeed, if the man had not been rescued, the boss might have been killed.

The two men had no choice but to carry Old Man Zhang's body back reluctantly.

The silver that was carried back was not even worth spending, as it was given by the village chief himself.

The village chief looked at Lianhua and thought that she was really a bitch. She was reluctant to spend such a small amount of money. Fortunately, he did not spend money to help her, otherwise the money would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it would never come back.

Lianhua thought to herself what would she do if she had no money? How would she live with the little money left at home?

Lotus looked worried.

Village chief, as the head of the family, is it really true that I don't have any solution?

The village chief also looked helpless. "Lotus, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that it won't work unless you have money. The current county magistrate has changed, and the current magistrate is new. You can't see him without money. It's even more difficult for us country ninjas to see him."

The village chief knew in his heart that even a few thousand taels of silver from the current county magistrate might not be enough to defeat him. He also knew that his family did not even have 1000 taels of silver in total, so how could he afford to help Lianhua?

Even if I had the money, wouldn't it be nice to give it to my son? It's not worth it for a dead old Zhang, not to mention that Zhang San now can only lie in bed for the rest of his life, so there's no need for me to do that.

"Lotus, please go back."

Lotus didn't want to go back because her goal had not been achieved yet.

"Village chief, I grew up with you, and you know the situation in our family. We are almost unable to make ends meet, and my daughter-in-law is not a good wife."

The village chief remained silent.

When Lianhua saw the village chief like this, she knew in her heart that the village chief didn't want to help.

When the two returned home, Yan Niang was listening nearby. She knew that things had not been done well.

Although I don't like Lianhua, I think she is petty and likes to take advantage of others.

When her head of the family died, her son was a useless person, and her daughter-in-law was unreliable, she still sympathized with her.

How would she live the rest of her life? Yan Niang couldn't bear it.

"Boss, isn't there some money in the village? Why don't you give some money to Lianhua's family every month? I won't say how much, but it will make her life easier in the future. Zhang San must have to spend some money every month to buy medicine."

Lotus was deeply moved when she heard this.

Yan Niang is simply a substitute for my own mouth.

Lotus was very happy.

"Village chief, please have mercy on our family. There is no hope at the government office. Our life is really difficult."

The village chief's throat moved.

The money in the village belongs to everyone, not my family, so I can't make this decision now.

When Yan Niang saw that the head of the household had not spoken a word, she knew that she had said something wrong and that she should not speak so quickly.

Yan Niang turned her back to him and slapped herself a few times.

The village chief was in a dilemma and never gave in.

Seeing that Yan Niang's words had no effect, Lianhua immediately increased her anger and knelt down immediately.

The village chief was shocked when he saw it, "Lotus, what are you doing? You can't do that. You can't do that."

"Village chief, if you don't help me, I will never get up and will kneel in your house forever. My daughter-in-law can only earn one tael of silver a month. But my son Zhang San needs four or five taels of medicine every month. There is no money left in the family."

"I only have this one son, and I hope my father will give me some big, fat grandchildren. If our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat, I'm afraid he will run away."

What Lotus said was so tear-jerking.

The village chief was really fed up with being told so much.

"Lotus, please stop talking. The village only gives you three taels of silver as a subsidy every month, and there is no more."

Lianhua knew in her heart that these three taels of silver were the most the village could give, and other people in the village would have objections. After all, she didn't contribute a single cent to the three taels of silver.

Lotus finally left with satisfaction.

After Lianhua left, she immediately yelled at Yan Niang.

"You are a woman who talks too much. If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Yan Niang only knew that she was in the wrong, so she said nothing and just stood quietly in the corner.
