After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Lin Lin's eyes were firm, without any trace of nostalgia.

Qu Yuanxun's eyes fell on Li Ergou. Cutting the Gordian knot would be best for Lin Lin.

"Li Ergou, since you have someone outside, and the head of Shangdong Village is also here today, why don't you just be well and be safe."

The head of Shangdong Village thought this was a good thing. Li Ergou had brought shame to their village today. By doing such a thing as renting out his wife, no good girl would want to marry into their village in the future.

"Why should I divorce her? I'm the only one who can divorce a bitch like Lin Lin. If I want a divorce, there's no way."

Although both divorce and divorce mean separation, their meanings are different.

Being divorced not only brings bad reputation but also prevents one from remarrying in the rest of one's life, but a peaceful divorce allows both parties to live in peace.

Because of this law, women would rather be divorced and sent back to their parents' home than be beaten to death.

It is difficult for an honest official to handle family affairs. Others are unwilling to divorce, and Qu Yuanxun, as a county magistrate, has absolutely no right to force others to divorce.

"Sir, since Li Ergou is unwilling to divorce and wants to divorce my sister, I am afraid that my sister will not have a good life if she returns.

My Lord, after this case is over, please send a document to Upper East Village to prove my sister's innocence.

Also, my sister has wounds all over her body, and I need to take her to get treated. I will take care of her until she is healed."

Li Ergou will not divorce Lin Lin now, so Lin Ting can only protect Lin Lin for the time being. After a few days, she will make Li Ergou willingly ask Lin Lin for a divorce.

"I will personally submit a written document to the head of Shangdong Village, as well as a letter of guarantee to Li Ergou."

Qu Yuanxun asked the old chief clerk to give the letter of guarantee to Li Ergou for signature, and the old chief clerk read out the contents to him one by one.

The first one is a warning. If you break the same law again, the government will imprison and punish you.

Article 2: There should be peace at home and you should stop hitting your wife.

Article 3: For those who have violated the law, the government will not recognize divorce, and they can only be divorced amicably.

Article 4: Due to Li Ergou’s fault, his wife was injured and will be taken care of by his sister until she recovers.

This is the only thing Qu Yuanxun can do to protect Lin Lin now. As for their marriage, he has no right to interfere.

"Alright, Lin will compensate Li Daniu one ounce, and Li Ergou will return five ounces to Li Daniu. Execute immediately."

Lin Tingcong took out a tael of silver from his waist, threw it at Li Daniu's feet, and helped Lin Lin aside.

Li Ergou and Zhang Shi were indifferent: "I don't have any money, but I have two lives."

Zhang just didn't believe that the county magistrate could kill them.

Li Ergou had the same attitude. He still had to be beaten with thirty sticks. He had spent all the silver long ago and had no money left.

Qu Yuanxun didn't waste any time and first had Li Ergou dragged down and given him thirty lashes.

"Come here, take Li Ergou to the execution ground."

Soon four yamen runners came up, pressed Li Ergou so hard that he could not move, dragged him down, made him lie down, and hit him with a board one after another.

Zhang was also angry with him, but Li Ergou was her son after all, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel sorry for him.

"Sir, this... this is enough. Stop fighting. If you continue, someone will die. Sir, please spare my life. Ergou won't dare to do it again."

When doing this, Li Ergou should have thought about the consequences.

Seeing Li Ergou wailing and blood slowly seeping out of his clothes, Lin Lin felt a little relieved.

You only feel pain when the stick hits you.

The people in the county government have their own way of beating people. The wounds look scarred, but they are not fatal.

After the beating was over, two yamen runners came forward and announced, "Sir, the execution is complete."

Qu Yuanxun nodded and said, "If Li Ergou doesn't hand over the five taels of silver, he will be imprisoned first. When his family returns the silver to Li Daniu, he will be released."

Li Ergou is seriously injured. If he is imprisoned, how can he survive in there?

Zhang knelt before Qu Yuanxun and said, "Sir, you are our father and mother. Even if my son broke the law, he was punished.

Sir, please let my son go home first. I will definitely return the money to Li Daniu later. Sir, human life is at stake."

Li Daniu also knelt down and said, "Sir, this woman's words are the most untrustworthy. That silver is my property. Sir, you must not listen to her."

"I am acting according to the law! Zhang, Li Ergou took other people's money, so he should return it."

"I... I am..."

Zhang can endure, but Li Ergou cannot be imprisoned. She turned her head left and right to look around, trying to seek help.

Suddenly his eyes stopped at Lin Ting. Lin Ting gave the one or two taels of silver as she had been told. Zhang crawled in front of Lin Ting, grabbed her dress and cried for help.

"Lin Ting, do you still have some silver? Take out five taels first to save your brother-in-law. We are relatives. Li Ergou is your brother-in-law.

We will see each other every day from now on, so lend it to your brother-in-law first for emergency use."

Lin Ting pulled the hem of her skirt away from Zhang's hands and looked down at her coldly.

"Brother-in-law? Li Ergou is not worthy! Get lost..."

Li Ergou was injured so badly, but when he looked at Lin Ting and Lin Lin, his eyes were still vicious. He thought he could still control everything about Lin Lin.

In order to avoid being imprisoned, he finally looked at Xiangliu. Their relationship was the best, and Xiangliu would definitely not ignore him.

"Liu'er..."

Seeing her son looking at Xiangliu, Zhang immediately understood and stood up and walked to Xiangliu.

"It's you who spent all my son's money. Hurry up and take out the money to save him. Hurry up."

Xiangliu took a step back, raised the fan in her hand to cover her nose, and frowned slightly.

"Auntie, where do I get the money? Li Lang's money was all spent on Lou Mama. I don't have any.

Besides, I was called here by the county magistrate to assist in the investigation, and this is none of my business."

As she spoke, Xiangliu walked up to Li Ergou, bent down to look at him, then backed away with a look of fear.

"Li Lang, I really can't stand the sight of blood. You're really hurting me. You have to get better soon. I'll be waiting for you at Fenghe Tower."

After saying that, Xiangliu left, pretending to sob as she walked, which made Li Ergou feel distressed.

Lin Ting took Lin Lin away as well.

As for Li Ergou, after he was imprisoned, Zhang sold their only hill and two acres of vegetable land that afternoon.

I just managed to get him back and bought some medicine to treat his injuries. All the valuable things in the house were gone.

After returning to Wanhetang, Lin Ting went to see Shen Qingzhou first. He was still unconscious, but Wan Weiran was guarding him.

As for Lin Lin, she got water for her to take a bath, applied medicine to all the wounds on her body, and asked Xiaobu to help buy her a new set of clothes.

"Sister, from today on, you will live in Wanhe Hall. Leave your affairs with Li Ergou to me. I will definitely help you get the divorce papers."

"Lin Ting, I want to make Li Ergou lose everything, otherwise, I won't be willing to accept it."

When applying the medicine, Lin Lin clenched her hands in pain. She felt intense pain all over her body, but it was nothing compared to her hatred.

"it is good!"
