Farming and reading family

Jiang naturally had no idea what the people of Baotou Village were thinking, and she tried hard to explain how Gao E had beaten them and mocked them.

Zheng Fengan listened carefully: "Okay, you brought people to the Chen family, and you should be thankful that they didn't beat you to death."

Jiang was petrified there. What was the relationship between this old man and Gao E? Why was he protecting Gao E like this?

"That's right." Someone on the side echoed, "You're still right even though you didn't succeed in finding trouble."

"If you want to bully the Chen family, first ask the people of Batou Village if they agree."

……

In this way, the people of Baotou Village pushed and tied up the Li family and sent them to the government office.

After everyone left and the yard was in a mess, Chen Ke hurried back.

"Are you okay, my lady?" Chen Ke saw that the gate had collapsed.

"It's okay, thanks to Uncle Zheng and the others for arriving in time." Gao E looked relaxed.

"The Li family is really too much. They even dared to come to our house." Chen Ke was angry.

"Don't worry, sir. Uncle Zheng and the others have already sent the person to the government office. Lord He will definitely enforce the law impartially."

When Chen Ke heard that they were being sent to the yamen, he became excited: "Then I will go with Uncle Zheng and the others, and make sure the Li family will be in trouble." As he said this, he was about to leave.

"Husband, wait a moment." Gao E stopped Chen Ke when she heard that he was going to the yamen.

He immediately told the conditions proposed by the Li family, that they wanted the Chen family to change their confession by paying twenty taels, which was a contempt of the law.

Chen Ke became even angrier when he heard this, and he mounted his horse to chase after Uncle Zheng and the others.

Luo Dagang asked uncertainly, "Do you want me to follow?"

"No need." Gao E looked at the messy yard and said, "Let's clean it up first and wait for Master An to come back and install the door."

Luo Dagang went to clean the yard silently, and Luo Qing'er and Lei came out of the cave.

"What is the origin of the Li family?" Lei looked unconvinced.

"There is a scholar in my family." Gao E said simply.

"My second brother is also a scholar." Lei disagreed.

"The Li family is rich." Gao E looked at Lei.

The Lei family shut up. Money makes the world go round these days, and their Chen family really can't compare.

Gao E smiled at her reaction and said, "It's okay. Our Chen family is not bad either."

Lei felt that her second sister-in-law was comforting her. How could their family be compared with the wealthy families in the city?

He Tangchun heard that the people from Baotou Village had sent the Li family here, on the grounds that they had led people to attack and destroy the Chen family and had defied the law.

"Contempt of the law?" He Tangchun couldn't bear to hear it.

No matter how arrogant the Li family is, they dare not defy the law. It is probably the Chen family that is putting the blame on the Li family.

"Well...this matter." Chang Zhinan was very embarrassed.

He Tangchun was a little confused as to why Gao E wanted to confront the Li family.

It seemed that she sent the person to court for the government to decide, but what kind of good person would send someone's entire family to court?

Do the people of He County like going to court so much?

"I'll go and take a look." He Tangchun couldn't refuse, after all, so many people brought the Li family here.

Li Chong and Jiang were in a very miserable state. They had been tied up and walked all the way, and now they were so tired that they lay down in the court.

The people of Baotou Village all knelt outside, as if Li Chong and Jiang had committed some unforgivable sin.

Chen Ke bowed and recounted how Li Chong and Jiang had led their men to smash his front door and bully his wife and children. "The most abominable thing is that they threatened my wife to change her confession by offering her twenty taels of silver. This is a blatant disregard for the law."

He Tangchun wondered if someone taught Chen Ke to say that?

Otherwise, why would he say such a thing?

"Li Chong, Jiang, do you have any objection to what Mr. Chen said?" He Tangchun looked at the two people lying on the ground.

"Your Excellency is innocent. We are here to apologize." Jiang shouted.

Zheng Fengan immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency, I am Zheng Fengan, the village head of Baotou Village. The gate of the Chen family was indeed smashed by these people. If I hadn't brought people in time, I don't know how badly Chen Xiucai and his mother would have been bullied."

When Jiang heard Zheng Feng'an say this, she cursed him in her heart, thinking that he was so old but still didn't do any good deeds for her.

The people of Baotou Village immediately agreed.

There are almost no young and strong people among these people. They all look pitiful, as if they have been bullied.

"Ms. Jiang, do you have anything else to say?" He Tangchun looked at Ms. Jiang.

He knew that Gao E would never be bullied, especially in her own home, but so many people in Baotou Village spoke up for Gao E, what could he do?

"Sir, they are from the same village and they are lying." Jiang didn't expect this to happen.

"Do you have any evidence?" He Tangchun looked at Jiang.

What evidence could the Jiangs have? They were the ones who led the men to the Chen family's house, they were the ones who broke down the door, and they were the ones who offered the Chen family twenty taels to change their confession, but...

The Chen family really beat them up.

After an interrogation, He Tangchun put Li Chong and Jiang in jail, and beat the remaining four thugs each with twenty sticks and drove them out.

As for why they use sticks to hit people randomly, it is because the injuries before the beating cannot be distinguished.

It was already very late when Chen Ke returned to Baotou Village, but he was still enthusiastically talking to Gao E about what happened in court today.

Chen Ke was very excited by Mr. He's preference and the villagers' support.

Gao E listened carefully: "My husband is no longer the same as before, that's why Lord He and Uncle Zheng are on my husband's side."

Hearing the words "things are different now than they were in the past", Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, and then his back seemed to straighten a little.

Chen Qing and Chen Jie also nodded. They also felt that the Chen family is completely different now than before.

"But if the Li family really has some connection, will they cause trouble again?" Chen Qing was worried.

"Everything can only happen once. They have suffered such a big setback, especially since the case was personally judged by Lord He in court. Even if they want to make trouble, they have to think twice." Gao E analyzed.

Chen Qing nodded: "But we still need to be cautious."

Chen Ke nodded: "Brother is right, Li Quan will not give up."

"Do you know him well?" Gao E looked at Chen Ke.

"After all, he and I are classmates." Chen Ke laughed dryly.

"People change." Gao E disagrees with the statement, "Rich people prioritize benefits over costs."

Chen Ke thought about it and said, "Don't worry, brother. We are not afraid of going to court."

The three brothers chatted for a while before leaving, and Chen Ke did not stay long.

This is how it went.

It rained the next day. Fortunately, the summer rain did not last long, which was also conducive to the growth of crops.

Two days later, Gao E wondered if the Li family was planning a big move?

After breakfast that day, the Chen family went out to do their work. Gao E heard the sound of horse hooves and finally stopped at her door, so she became alert.

Lu Hao fixed the reins to the saddle and let the horse graze nearby, then ran into Chen's house.

"Is there any food?" he called out bluntly.

Gao E breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Lu Hao, but then she thought that Lu Hao would not come unless it was something important, and she calculated the time and found that he had not yet had breakfast.

"No." Gao E signaled him to speak quickly if he had something to say.

Lu Hao really didn't eat breakfast, he just wanted to eat at the Chen family's house. He exaggeratedly said, "A shocking piece of news came out of He County these past two days."
