In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

"You're talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Lin took two steps back in panic and shouted loudly.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

She was flustered.

First, Wang Miaomiao narrated the story in person, and then Lin Laotai's daughter-in-law made corrections.

There is no way Old Mrs. Lin can defend herself!

"You old hag, you have such a dark heart!"

"Miaomiao is such a good girl. She was willing to sever ties with Wang Shen and become an orphan for your Sanlang. It would be fine if you didn't fulfill their childhood sweetheart relationship! You even stole her food and tried to kill her while fleeing the famine!"

"And you, you unfaithful man! I could see the truth from the beginning. It was because you expressed your love to Miao Miao every day that Miao Miao was willing to wait for you. When your mother did such evil things, you didn't even know how to stop her. You are no different from your evil mother!"

"..."

Villagers, especially people of the same ethnic group.

The big guys usually like to watch for fun, but they are not blind.

Wang Miaomiao’s current personality is her own fault, and also Lin Ze’s.

Otherwise, with Miaomiao's appearance, all the pretty girls in the surrounding villages would have been married off long ago.

Faced with the accusations from the women around her, Old Mrs. Lin's heart trembled.

Move towards the distance.

But how could the Wang family let her go like this?

"Surround her!"

"Let her take out the money to compensate Wang Miaomiao."

"I really want to kill this beast today." The Wang family members surrounded Old Lady Lin and shouted at her.

Threats, insults and other unbearable words kept coming out.

Lin Ze had already lowered his head in guilt amid the verbal abuse from those women.

How could he not know what he had done before?

However, after he passed the imperial examination and saw the daughter of a wealthy family, his mind changed.

His mother's persuasion only gave him an excuse.

If he was still as determined as before, how could Old Lady Lin stop him and let him study hard at home for a few years without seeing Wang Miaomiao?

It’s just that someone who is pretending to be asleep cannot be woken up.

Wang Miaomiao...is also his escape route if he can't get into high school.

"Village chief, village chief!" Old Lady Lin saw those Wang clan members approaching with weapons, eager to tear her apart alive, and shouted anxiously:

"I am willing to pay compensation for the food that was stolen from Wang Miaomiao!"

"I'm willing to pay for the grain!"

After shouting several times, the people from Wangjia Village who were holding weapons temporarily stopped their weapons from falling. The pickaxe and rusty hatchet hanging in the air made old lady Lin sweat drip down her forehead.

At this moment, his body completely went limp and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the village chief Wang Dakuo frowned.

Punishment is necessary to give an explanation to everyone in the tribe.

Now that Old Lady Lin has admitted it, it's easier to deal with.

"How to compensate?" Wang Dakuo asked with a cold face.

"According to the price of grain before fleeing the famine, old corn costs 60 copper coins per catty. I will compensate her for 60 catties of corn!" Old Mrs. Lin was quick-witted and gave an answer the moment Wang Dakuo asked.

But after hearing about the compensation, the Wang family members in Wangjia Village were furious.

‘Bang’ sound.

A man hit the coal on the ground with a pickaxe in his hand.

Shouting loudly:

"Mrs. Lin, you are not being honest."

"A life of a member of my Wang family, you mean to say, is only worth three taels of silver?"

"Then I'll give you five taels and kill your Sanlang...how do you think?"

This angry voice made Lin Ze tremble as if he was in an ice cellar.

Why does what my mother did involve me?

Without Lin Ze saying anything, the old lady of the Lin family immediately got furious and yelled:

"what?"

"Why would that bitch be compared to my Sanlang?"

"My Sanlang has the title of Tongsheng!"

"If you're not satisfied with the price, I'll add some. Five taels, right?"

"Then pay her five taels!"

Old Mrs. Lin forced herself to stand in front of Lin Ze and protect him behind her.

This is her only son, and she will never allow anyone to hurt him.

When the people in Wangjia Village heard the compensation proposed by Old Lady Lin, they burst into laughter.

Saying five taels is just an example.

And this old lady Lin thought it was the compensation they asked for Wang Miaomiao?

"You have a good plan, Old Lady Lin." Wang Dakuo sneered, walked up to Old Lady Lin and slapped her in the face!

There was a crisp sound of "Snap!"

He wanted to calm the anger of the Wang family members in Wangjia Village.

This old lady Wang had to be beaten.

Feeling the pain from being slapped on the face, Old Mrs. Lin looked at Wang Dakuo in disbelief.

He actually took action directly?

At this time, the team stopped again to let the officials and wealthy businessmen behind them come over to check.

The one walking in front was naturally the county official from Beiyang County.

As a student of Beiyang County, Lin Ze had met the county official in front of him once.

After seeing him, my originally frightened heart seemed to have found its backbone.

Instant calm.

Reach out and cry out for help:

"Liu County Lieutenant!"

"Help!"

"I am a student from Beiyang County."

When Liu Sheng heard someone calling his name, he subconsciously looked towards the crowd.

I saw a thin man in a long gown surrounded by people.

As embarrassing as you want to be.

If this happened in Beiyang County, Liu Sheng would naturally not mind taking care of it, helping the students out of trouble and making good connections.

But this is not Beiyang County.

They were on their way to escape south, and he still had to rely on the help of the noble man in the team. How could he dare to anger these villagers who had a close relationship with the noble man?

"Young man, please don't make loud noises!" Liu Sheng shouted at Lin Ze. At the same time, he looked at the angry Wang family members from Wangjia Village with an apologetic look on his face and said leisurely:

"I am only the county lieutenant of Beiyang County. I am not responsible for the management of people's livelihood, let alone for judging cases."

"Besides, this isn't the territory of Beiyang County. You can just do what's in your heart. I won't interfere!"

After the words fell, the Wang family members of Wangjia Village withdrew their angry gazes.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s really not an offense to you, my noble friend.

What's more, they were surrounded by this group of angry villagers. They must have done something to anger the villagers. Otherwise, even if they were refugees, they would only expel them and not bully them.

Without knowing the full picture, he didn't even dare to make a casual comment.

When Old Lady Lin heard that the county lieutenant, whom her son had called out for, was not planning to intervene in the matter, she immediately became anxious:

"Lieutenant Liu, we are all civilians under the jurisdiction of Beiyang County. How can you condone this mob's brutality?"

"I have already promised to compensate them, but they still won't let me go. Please, sir, help us civilians!"

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Lin sat on the ground and started crying.

It means loud voice but few tears.

The veins on County Lieutenant Liu's forehead were throbbing.

Feeling the angry gazes from those around him again, County Lieutenant Liu thought to himself: If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here in person to check the situation.

I got myself into trouble for no reason.

Thinking about this, County Lieutenant Liu shouted loudly:

"shut up!"

"I will never overstep my bounds!"

"If you have any grievances, you can return to Beiyang County and ask the county magistrate to seek justice for you."

"How dare you hold me up like this!"

"This is really making me angry. Come, give this evil woman twenty mouthfuls!"
