Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

The Yuan family was terrified. If they continued to pinch their hands and feet, they would probably break them.

This was not enough. County Magistrate Huang had the two of them pressed down on a bench and beaten with a stick. Their buttocks were slapped and their flesh was broken, and blood was dripping down. Their fingers and toes were also subjected to torture. The third son's wife and Zhang Tiezhu were breathing in more than out, and it looked like they were about to die from the pain.

This time, County Magistrate Huang was mixed with his own personal emotions. Seeing Zhang Tiezhu was like seeing the thief who had recently stolen his gold, jewelry, and precious ancient paintings. So he carried out the execution in a very harsh manner, determined to vent the anger in his heart.

Only after County Magistrate Huang felt relieved did he allow the bailiffs to release the two men.

The Yuan family came out of the yamen in a daze.

Zhang Tiezhu was sentenced to five years in prison, and the third brother's wife was sentenced to three years in prison as an accomplice.

Thinking of this result, Old Lady Liu couldn't help but sigh. The two men were so seriously injured that they must have suffered a lot in prison.

When Shen Chulan came back in the evening and heard the news, she was shocked. She didn't expect that the third son's wife would do such a thing.

Yuan Laosan was absent-minded when he came back from the town, and the Yuan family knew that he was upset.

No one could accept that the person next to him would do such a thing, not to mention that they knew each other and fell in love at the beginning, so it was understandable that the third brother had deep feelings for her.

Suddenly, Yuan Laosan knelt in front of Yuan Laotou and kowtowed continuously, saying that it was his fault for not knowing people well and harming his father.

"It's okay, kid. Life is long, and it's normal to make mistakes. Besides, you must have been aiming for a happy and fulfilling life. You didn't expect life to turn out like this. If you made a mistake this time, just be more careful next time."

Old Man Yuan put his hand on Old Third Yuan's head to comfort him.

".....father."

Yuan Laosan's nostrils were buzzing and his eyes were red. The discomfort that he had been holding in his heart was finally released.

Yuan Lao Da and Yuan Lao Er couldn't stand it anymore. What was the big deal about a grown man crying? So they slapped him.

"Why are you crying? It's not your fault."

"That's right. Zhang Tiezhu is obsessed with this, and your wife's heart isn't with this family. This was bound to happen sooner or later."

"It's not a big deal. What you should be worrying about is making money and finding a wife. You're handy, can make money, and are single. There are a lot of women who want to marry you."

Yuan Laosan's sad mood was instantly disrupted by his two brothers, and the sadness in his heart disappeared completely with the words of Yuan Laoda and Yuan Laoer.

When the third brother's wife approached him, she was attracted by his craftsmanship. He could get high wages for a job and there was no off-season. He could do any job if someone needed a stool, a bed, or their roof was leaking.

Moreover, the wealthy families in the town all liked the patterns he carved, which were novel and beautiful.

But in the second year of the drought, the wealthy families moved away from their homes, which greatly reduced his income. However, he was able to make ends meet by taking on some odd jobs.

By the third year, there was nothing to do. People could hardly afford to buy food, and the things at home were spoiled.

He also really likes the third son's wife, but when this love hurts his family, only the love between husband and wife remains.

"Didn't you say this morning that the county magistrate was recruiting workers? Let's go to work tomorrow." Old Mrs. Liu said.

Yuan Lao San: "Okay."

Seeing that his family did not blame him for the incident with the third brother's wife, he felt relieved.

In the cell.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for your bad idea, would I have been thrown into jail? Would I have been divorced by the Yuan family?" The third daughter-in-law (Zhang Lai Di) lay on the ground and looked at Zhang Tiezhu with hatred.

Zhang Tiezhu screamed in pain, and was stunned when he heard this. Then he cursed, "How dare you criticize me? It was you who said that there was no one in the Yuan family. What happened to that dog? Now that the truth has been revealed, you blame me.

Didn't you also want to leave the Yuan family? Otherwise, why would you agree to my request so readily? Now you blame me instead. I think the Yuan family was right to divorce you."

"Even after getting married, she still tries to find ways to deduct things from her husband's family and give them to her own family. If I had a wife like this, I would divorce her immediately." Zhang Tiezhu continued to curse.

Zhang Lai Di was stunned. She couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of her younger brother whom she had loved since childhood. She immediately glared at him and raised her eyebrows.

"Who am I doing all this for? It's all for you. If it weren't for the money I took from the Yuan family for food, would you still be alive? How can you say this without any conscience?"

Zhang Tiezhu smiled and said, "You did all these things voluntarily. Neither your parents nor I forced you to do them."

Zhang Lai Di regretted it. The Yuan family gave her so many opportunities but she didn't cherish them. She always thought that the Yuan family was easy to bully. Now when she thinks about it carefully, she realizes that the Yuan family turned a blind eye to all these things.

If it were any other family, the kitchen would be locked by the mother-in-law, not to mention leaving it there for her to take away and give to her parents' home.

Why was she so blinded by greed? If she had lived a good life, these things would not have happened.

"I regret it!"

"Haha, there's no use regretting it."

After a while, a sharp and miserable sound came from the cell.

The Yuan family's life did not become unsustainable because of one missing person. Instead, they lived a fulfilling life.

Yuan Lao Da, Yuan Lao Er, and Yuan Lao San, along with several young and strong men from the village, had been working at the county magistrate's mansion for several days.

They could get one hundred coins every day, and everyone in the village was very grateful to the Yuan family.

We finally finished the work today. After a few people calculated, they found that each of them had earned 600 coins in the past few days.

The young and strong men in the village had smiles on their faces, as they could have one more meat dish at home this New Year.

Shen Chulan is busy every day. The restaurant's business is booming every day because of her cooking skills. If you want to eat the dishes she cooks, you have to make an appointment in advance, otherwise you won't be able to eat them.

In order to allow Shen Chulan to concentrate on cooking, Qingshuilou hired several kitchen helpers for her.

Chu Xiaoyi saw that Shen Chulan worked diligently and the restaurant's business was booming, so her monthly salary was increased to ten taels of silver.

The apples and pears that the Yuan family had sold to Chu Xiaoyi had been sold out, and Chu Xiaoyi had made a fortune. The customers who had bought fruits at Qingshui Tower came to ask Chu Xiaoyi where he got the fruits, saying that they wanted to buy more.

Chu Xiao also said that this fruit was out of stock.

The guests went home disappointed.

Yaoyao practiced rolling over at home every day. After so many days of hard work, she could finally roll over several times in a row. At this moment, she was holding her fat feet and biting them, and her feet were covered with saliva.

Yaoyao said that she had no choice, she couldn't control the baby's instinct, and the baby would gnaw on one toe and then the other every day.

She rolled over quickly and called out in the direction of Old Lady Liu.

"Ah baba baba"

Old Lady Liu put down her work, and hurried to Yaoyao and asked with a smile: "Yaoyao, do you want to go out and play?"

Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, the flesh on her face trembling with movement, and her chubby hands pointed in the direction of Lu Mansion.
