Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

The son of the Zheng family looked at his mother with resentment. Zhou crawled in front of Xiao Zhener and begged for mercy. Xiao Zhener pulled out the corner of her clothes, looked at Zhou coldly, and knelt down to thank the master.

Then he looked up at Zhao Wenqing and said, "Sir, the Zheng family has treated me unkindly and unjustly. I ask you to grant me a divorce from Zheng Dashi."

Zhao Wenqing slammed the gavel: "Accurate."

After hearing this, Zheng Dashi was about to go over and pull Xiao Zhener away, but was stopped by the yamen runners. He was about to curse, but when he saw the county magistrate, he lowered his head unwillingly.

The clerk prepared paper and pen and wrote two divorce agreements. Xiao Zhen'er calmly pressed her fingerprints on them and handed them to Zheng Dashi. Zheng Dashi didn't want to press them, but the county magistrate banged the gavel. Zheng Dashi was so frightened that he quickly pressed his fingerprints and looked at Xiao Zhen'er with resentment.

Xiao Zhen'er took her divorce letter and her eyes were filled with tears of excitement. Finally, she was free from the nightmare life that had lasted for two years.

The Xiao family happily surrounded Xiao Zhen'er. Xiao Zhen'er felt extremely happy at this moment, which was in stark contrast to the gloomy mood of the Zheng family.

Zhao Wenqing slammed the gavel, looked around at the Zheng family, and said, "Considering that Zhou is old, I need someone to take the fifty lashes for me. Who will do it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou looked at her sons with hope, but to her disappointment, all of Zheng's sons stepped back, and Old Man Zheng pretended not to see.

Even if it was her own husband and mother, it would be of no use now. Zhou made the Zheng family pay for everything.

Zhou cried and beat her own sons. The Zheng family's sons said calmly: "Mom, you love Dashi so much, so of course Dashi has to take care of things."

Upon hearing this, Zhou turned to look at Zheng Dashi. Zheng Dashi retreated with his neck shrunk: "Mom, I'm weak. You would be so distressed if I got beaten."

Everyone present laughed. Zheng Dashi, a big and strong man with a fat body, had the nerve to say such words. Everyone was deeply disgusted with Zheng Dashi's behavior.

Zhou was desperate. She was partial to her youngest son and offended her other sons. Now no one cared about her. What was she trying to achieve?

In the end, Zhou was beaten with fifty sticks, but she fainted after only ten. Zhao Wenqing was sentenced to prison first and then the remaining sticks after she recovered.

As for the fifty taels owed to the Xiao family, if they cannot be repaid within three days, the Zheng family’s land and house will be sold immediately.

Everyone in the Zheng family was terrified and no longer dared to have any thoughts about the Xiao family. They took their father home in shame to raise money.

The Xiao family looked at County Magistrate Zhao with gratitude and bowed deeply to him. County Magistrate Zhao waved his hand, nodded implicitly to Zhao Mingyuan, announced the adjournment of the court, and hurried to the back hall.

I wonder what the second prince thought of what he heard in the hall.

Fu Mingxuan had been listening to the trial in the back hall. He also saw Xiao Wan's happy expression after she learned the verdict, and he couldn't help but laugh too.

Now this girl has no reason to delay making delicious dishes like braised pork.

Fu Mingxuan was still savoring the tomato fish fillet and chicken soup that Xiao Wan made yesterday. Just kidding, he added a whole bowl of spiritual spring water to the chicken soup to nourish Xiao Zhener.

The family and Zhao Mingyuan walked out of the lobby. Xiao Wan saw several yamen runners running errands. After a moment of thought, she took out ten taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the leading constable naturally.

The constable received almost ten taels of silver at once. Who on earth is this Xiao family? They are just a farming family, yet they are so generous.

The constable was satisfied with the Xiao family's ability to do the job, nodded and sent them away.

Zhao Mingyuan looked at Xiao Wan's actions and smiled gently. His girl was smart. Although she didn't need to be managed, the detectives would not neglect her, but Xiao Wan was indeed open and honest in her work.

The family was preparing to return to the village. They passed by Yuntai Town to pick up Xiao Zhengping who had finished school early. Xiao Wan thought that she had not given Yunke any new recipes this month, so she might as well go over and teach Chef Wang.

The last time Chef Wang helped her report to the police, she hadn't thanked him yet.

Besides, I still need to ask Duan Hongyi about his shop. I want to open the snack bar as soon as possible, and how are the sales of his flour products?

She thought a lot and felt that it was just right that her sister came home because she needed manpower. Her sister might not be comfortable staying in the village, so it would be best if she could come to the town or city to help open the store and relax at the same time.

So she asked her family to go back first and went to Yunkelai by herself. Zhao Mingyuan of course accompanied her. Both Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Liu were very confident in Zhao Mingyuan.

Xiao Zhen'er couldn't help but feel envious of her sister's decisiveness and efficiency in doing things. But when she thought about her current status, she felt a little inferior.

Liu saw it and patted her on the back. Xiao Zhen'er smiled, not wanting her mother to worry.

Zhao Mingyuan and Xiao Wan went back and forth to Yunke. Zhao Mingyuan actually didn't want Xiao Wan to have any dealings with Duan Hongyi, but seeing how relaxed and cheerful Xiao Wan was when talking about business, he started to let it go.

Anyway, Xiao Wan likes me, so I should trust the relationship between the two of us.
