My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Xiang's mother was like a quail, but she became anxious when she heard this. She quickly let go of her granddaughter's hand, pushed her granddaughter to the man's side, and ran over to kneel in front of the registrar.

"Sir, please be kind, my daughter was knocked unconscious by Zuo Er, and now I don't even know what's wrong with her. You can't just ignore it, wuwuwu..."

She cried so miserably that the registrar frowned even more and looked up at the headman.

The headman hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to pull Xiang Mu away and said, "Stop making a fuss. This is just a family matter. Why make it so ugly?"

Then he turned around and looked at Xiang's brother: "You too, why do you have to report it to the police? Can't you just talk to the head of the village?"

Zuo Lizheng said hurriedly, "That's right, don't worry about it. I'll ask your aunt to go in and take a look. I'm sure your sister is fine."

Zuo Lizheng's wife went into the house and came out soon, smiling, "Qin Gu is fine. She's resting now. Zuo Er is still considerate of his wife. The house is a mess, but since his wife is not feeling well, he didn't force her to get up. He just let her rest well."

The second sister whispered, "What kind of talk is that? Sister-in-law Xiang was beaten so badly she couldn't get out of bed and is probably unconscious, and you're still saying that Zuo Er is considerate of her? How ridiculous!"

When the aunt saw Xiaoxia being picked up by Feng Zizhou and the child staring at her peanuts, she quickly put the rest into her pocket and said, "This is a woman's fate. The eldest sister of the Xiang family is pitiful. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Xiang Di, hearing everyone else say this, grew even more angry. He said, "Shouldn't I report this to the police? Do I have to wait until my sister is dead before I can report this? Aunt Lizheng, you're the only one who can say anything. You said my sister was fine, but if she was, why wouldn't you even let us in to take a look?"

Zuo Lizheng's wife looked embarrassed and waved her hand, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? I didn't tell you not to go and see. But your sister is still recuperating. Going in now would only disturb her!"

"Let my mother go in and take a look. My mother won't disturb my sister." Xiangdi said firmly.

Zuo Lizheng's wife couldn't insist, so she said to Xiang's mother, "Sister-in-law of the Xiang family, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you haven't raised your child well. Aren't all women like that? Women should be docile. If she had been obedient, why would Zuo Er have hit her? When she gets better, you should persuade her and tell her not to lose her temper in the future."

When Xiang's mother saw that she agreed to let her go see her daughter, she didn't care what she said. She quickly wiped away her tears, got up and went into the house.

Zuo Lizheng's wife said to Zuo Er, "Zuo Er, this is your father-in-law's house after all. Just be more restrained, apologize to your father-in-law, and take the child back."

Unfortunately, Zuo Er was stubborn. He sneered and said, "The child is wrong, and as a father, I can't say a few words? Haha, she is a woman with a bad temper. If I don't teach her a lesson, she won't even know her last name!"

Xiang Di was so angry that he wanted to rush forward, but was held back by his two cousins.

At this time, Xiang's mother came out supporting Xiang's sister-in-law. Xiang's sister-in-law had become so thin that she looked as if she would fall down with a gust of wind. She raised her head weakly, looked at the two children, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

The two children had been huddling behind their grandfather. When they heard that the headman's wife wanted their father to hold them, they shrank back. Now that they saw their mother, they all rushed over.

"mother……"

"Mother!"

The two soft little ones were crying so hard that they were out of breath.

Seeing this scene, the second sister's heart was broken. She couldn't imagine how heartbroken she would be if this was her Xiaoxia.

Feng Zizhou covered Xiaoxia'er's face to prevent her from seeing the scene over there, and said, "The village head and his wife of Kaoshan Village are clearly biased and blindly protect their own family. It's really too much."

The aunt said quickly, "Don't mess around. This Kaoshan Village is ruled by the Zuo family. There are many men in the Zuo family, and they are not easy to get along with. We are just here to watch the fun."

Zuo Lizheng glanced up at his sister-in-law and said coldly, "Isn't this nothing? Do you have to make such a fuss to be happy? Aunt Qin, why don't you go and apologize to your husband and admit your mistakes? Don't be so willful in the future and dare not even listen to what a man says, understand?"

She squatted down and hugged her two children, crying, without saying a word or showing any intention of apologizing.

Seeing this, Zuo Da was displeased and said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect you to be so angry. You don't want to apologize, right? Second brother, why are you talking nonsense with her? Go and bring the child here. That's our Zuo family's child!"

"No, no!" Sister-in-law Xiang was startled and quickly hugged the two children tightly. Then she looked at Zuo Er, her eyes full of pleading.

Zuo Er said, "Come here on your knees. If your brother dares to cause trouble again, you'll never see the child again!"

Xiang's mother angrily said, "Zuo Er, can't you see what my daughter looks like now? You actually told her to kneel down and go over there?"

Zuo Er rolled his eyes. "Shouldn't she have thought about the consequences when she dared to make such a fuss? We can't even figure out who's in charge in this family. Also, if you Xiang family dare to make trouble in our house again, today will be a lesson. Remember?"

He was so rude to his elders, but he couldn't do anything to his sister-in-law. He even reached out to pull his mother and crawled forward on his knees with gritted teeth.

Many women present saw Sister Xiang's frail appearance and the two children crying heartbreakingly, and many of them couldn't help but turn away with red eyes. But even so, they didn't say a word.

The Dianshi was already extremely impatient, shaking his sleeves and sneering: "What a farce!"

He flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, but heard a cold female voice shouting loudly.

"Wait a minute."

Second Sister pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, standing in front of Sister-in-law Xiang. She looked around, at the group of arrogant people in the Zuo family, then at the shabby people in the Xiang family, and finally at the Dianshi.

"Is this how you judge cases, sir? According to the laws of the Great Zhou, when someone reports a crime, you must thoroughly investigate it. This is your duty as an official. But you, sir, are indiscriminate and biased towards men?"

The official looked at her and asked, "Who are you to speak so recklessly?"

The second sister said, "Your Excellency doesn't need to know who I am, but if you don't handle this according to the law, you're wrong! Someone reported the Zuo family for disregarding human life, and Zuo Er for repeatedly beating his wife and daughter. He's guilty, and how can he go unpunished?"

The Dianshi's face became even more displeased. He pointed at her and scolded her, "Nonsense! How dare a mere woman speak so arrogantly in front of me? Women should be respectful and polite, serve their elders, respect their husbands, and raise children. They shouldn't show up in public and meddle in other people's affairs!"
