At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Not only was Gu Dahuai so heartless to the orphan and his widowed mother, he even wanted to send his widowed sister-in-law into the clutches of the Jia family and seized the betrothal gifts. It was truly chilling and he deserved to be beaten!

They also thought Lin Qing didn’t hit them hard enough!

I wish I could beat him up myself!

The four little kids stared at their mother who seemed to be possessed by the god of war. Some of them had shining eyes, while others were filled with worry.

Gu Damao is obviously the latter.

Even if he accepted the fact that his uncle was not a good person, this was their family matter after all, and they should just solve it privately. Why did his mother have to make the family scandal known to everyone?

Looking at the playful looks the villagers gave their family, Gu Damao felt even more uneasy.

He clenched his fists and thought to himself that he wanted his mother to be envied by others because of his fame and achievements in government, rather than throwing a tantrum and having people poke fun at her.

Gu Ermiao, however, smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and he protected his youngest brother while clapping his hands in praise.

"Okay, okay, mother said it well, and you hit me well! Come again, come again!"

Gu Sanmu was an honest child, and he thought it was great that his mother was well fed.

When will he be able to slap his uncle away with one slap?

Gu Dahuai didn't know that he had been targeted by Gu Sanmu. He spat out blood foam from his mouth, sucked his teeth, and looked at Lin Qing and his son with a sinister look.

Gu Sihe was the youngest, but his thoughts were the most thorough:

Never mess with any woman, especially your mother.

Seeing that his mother had temporarily stopped fighting, Gu Sihe hurried forward, turned her hand over and blew gently: "Mom, it doesn't hurt!"

Lin Qingshang, who beat someone up, was taken care of and his hands were not hurt, but no one cared about Gu Dahuai who was beaten up, and even Gou didn't step forward.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the village head Song Youliang quickly stood up and stopped Lin Qing.

"Eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, since you asked me to come here, it proves that you trust me. Since you have already taken action, Gu Dahuai must be very angry. I am afraid that you two families cannot sit down and talk calmly. How about this, you let me persuade this fool first, okay?"

Lin Qing knew that the headman must be a "capable person" when he spoke.

The ultimate move she had been preparing for a moment was forcibly interrupted, like a punch hitting cotton. Although she was a little unhappy, she still nodded.

She wanted to see what tricks this village head could come up with.

Let's see what his position is.

Song Youliang seemed to be certain that Lin Qing would not refuse him. Without waiting for her nod, he pulled Gu Dahuai into the main hall with a smile, and his face fell as soon as he entered.

"Da Huai, I thought you were smart and that you handled things well before, but how could you do something so foolish that would give people a bad impression? Are you short of food at home, or are you coveting the scraps from the neighboring yard?"

Gu Dahuai didn't respond and asked:

"Uncle Youliang, I've been very respectful to you, so there's no need to dwell on these insincere words. I just want to ask you, do you know what that bitch meant by asking you to comment?"

Song Youliang couldn't help but frown when Gu Dahuai reminded him.

Yes, he was called here in a daze, and he had no idea what Lin Qing was trying to do.

But how could he show his fear in front of Gu Dahuai? "Don't worry about what you are saying. You should have a clear mind about what you have done. No matter how good our relationship is, I can't be too protective of you in front of everyone. If you are wronged later, please think more positively."

Gu Dahuai really disliked his compromising attitude and snorted coldly.

"Uncle Youliang, you must remember that we are all in this together. You can't just take all that money from us and now try to distance yourself from us. If you don't help me, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship."

Song Youliang was about to get up and leave, but stopped when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that the scoundrel Gu Dahai would dare to threaten him so openly!

He panted angrily, his gray beard trembling uncontrollably. After a long time, he finally calmed down and asked, suppressing his anger, "What do you want?"

Gu Dahuai showed a smug smile.

"Mr. Village Head, there's no need to pretend to be ignorant. What I want is for you to reject whatever request that bitch makes."

Although Song Youliang was helpless and had a setback, he could only nod in agreement.

Who told you to be grateful for what you have received and to be soft-hearted when you receive something from someone else?

After the two men opened the door after preparing themselves mentally, they saw Lin Qing, who was crying and looked delicate and pitiful.

There were also people looking at him with indignation and vicious eyes.

Song Youliang was stunned. What happened just now?

In fact, Lin Qing was irritated by the village head's disrespectful attitude, so he naturally would not allow the other party to ride on his head and act wildly like this.

While the two people in the room were quietly discussing countermeasures, she was not idle either, continuing her speech.

At the moment, I was so engrossed in my acting that I wiped away the tears that were almost unstoppable, and said in a heartbreaking voice:

"Uncle Village Head, I know I'm just a country woman who's not presentable enough. Please don't laugh at me even if I'm wrong. My husband died fighting for our country, so I have to say with a straight face that I'm more or less a martyr's widow, right?"

Song Youliang really had no idea what she was up to. After exchanging glances with Gu Dahuai, he saw that the other party was also confused. He tapped the ground with his crutch and answered hesitantly.

"Of course, your family has changed their military status, and the court has registered it. We dare not say anything nonsense."

Lin Qing felt more confident after receiving a positive answer.

Although she was not clear about the laws here, she believed that everyone standing here understood them even less, so she felt even more justified.

"Although I don't hold an imperial decree, I am still a court lady, and my marriage should naturally be decided by the court. Gu Dahuai is so audacious that he dares to act presumptuously. Isn't this a heinous crime?"

The village head didn't expect her to come in from this point, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Lin Qing still felt that the firepower was not enough and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"The imperial court issued the pension with the intention of comforting the widow, but Gu Dahuai dared to secretly divide it with my mother's family without permission. This is a small matter concerning the family property, but on a larger scale, isn't this openly opposing the imperial court?

"If this were to get out, I'm afraid it would chill the hearts of soldiers everywhere! If soldiers on the battlefield knew that their wives and children, whom they risked their lives to protect, might be humiliated like this after their own death, how could they risk their lives for their country?"

Lin Qing's words were so powerful, like thunderclaps out of the blue, that they frightened everyone so much that they didn't even dare to discuss it out loud.

The four children also felt the same way and their eyes became red.

Daddy, do you know in heaven how hard our family lives...

If you knew, you would definitely protect us...

Song Youliang, who always prided himself on having seen the world, was so frightened by Lin Qing's words that his hands and feet went limp and he almost dropped his crutches.

broken!

Why didn't he think of these when he believed Gu Dahuai's sweet words and accepted his money!

This terrible incident will do more harm than good to his reputation!

He immediately made up his mind that even if it meant falling out with Gu Dahuai, he would agree to Lin Qing's request.

Otherwise everything is lost!
