The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang smiled.

"Whether the contents of this joint letter are true or false, and whether I am slandering the Huang family, Master Zhu has already sent people to Cile Town yesterday. A little inquiry will reveal the truth. After all, Master Huang was not secretive when he did these things."

"Besides, all 42 families mentioned in this petition arrived in the county yesterday. We have all the witnesses and evidence ready. Your Huang family's crimes are unforgivable!"

Huang Maodian fell to the ground when he saw that Song Yuntang had arranged everything so thoroughly.

Finished!

The family business he had worked hard for most of his life was all gone!

Zhu Deming didn't want to waste time, so he called the villagers in one by one to find out the whole story and asked Master Qin to record them one by one.

"Huang Maodian, what else do you have to say?"

Huang Maodian raised his head in a daze, then kowtowed to Zhu Deming.

"I plead guilty, but this was done by me alone. My family is unaware of it. I hope the county magistrate will spare the lives of my family, young and old, in consideration of the contributions my Huang family has made to Anyang County."

Since death is inevitable, the only thing he can do is to save the Huang family.

Zhu Deming nodded.

"Huang Maodian has disregarded human life and abducted a woman. He deserves the death penalty. I will report this matter to the prefect, and he will be convicted."

"Confiscate all of the Huang family's property, including cash, land, real estate, and shops. Although the rest of the Huang family members are unaware of this, they will be spared the death penalty, but they will be punished severely. They will all be beaten with fifty lashes and thrown out of the county government office."

……

As soon as Song Yuntang came out of the county government office, she saw Xu Wencheng standing not far away and waving at her.

"Sister-in-law, this way."

Standing beside him were Xu Yongwang and Jiang.

Before leaving home, she thought that Xu Wencheng would help her to seek cooperation in other places. Now was not the busy farming season, and it would be boring to leave her parents-in-law at home staring at each other.

After discussing with my parents-in-law, I decided to live in the county town for a while after settling the fields in Lushan Village.

Xu Wencheng knew that she was going to sue the Huang family, so he rushed here early with Xu Yongwang and Jiang.

She smiled and walked towards the three of them.

"Dad, Mom, Wencheng, when did you arrive?"

"He just arrived a while ago." Jiang held her hand and said, "After Wencheng entered the city, he drove a mule cart directly to the county government office and watched the excitement."

Song Yuntang smiled.

"go home."

Several people got on the mule cart, and when they got home, Xu Qingye had not returned yet.

As the gate opened, Xu Wencheng exclaimed in surprise, "This yard is really big, even bigger than the yard in Lushan Village."

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "It has two more rooms than the yard in Lushan Village. During the New Year and other holidays, if my parents want to bring my grandparents over to play, there's always room for them to stay."

Xu Yongwang held his hands behind his back with an arrogant look on his face, looking around this room and that room, just like a high-ranking official on inspection.

Jiang looked in his direction and said with a smile, "Look at your demeanor. If you didn't know me, you'd be mistaken for some high-ranking official."

Judging from his behavior, I'm afraid he will start bragging again when he gets back.

Xu Yongwang raised his eyebrows.

"My son and daughter-in-law bought a big yard in the county town. Shouldn't I be happy?"

"Okay, if you're happy." Jiang was also looking around the yard, "I'm happy too."

"Mom and Dad, this is your room. I bought new quilts and replaced them. Take a look and see if you need anything else." Song Yuntang said, pointing to the room on the right side of the main hall.

After hearing this, Jiang and Xu Yongwang hurried into the house to take a look.

The house is spacious, airy, tidy and clean.

"There's nothing to add, it's good enough."

As Xu Wencheng unloaded the things they had brought from Lushan Village from the mule cart, he asked, "Sister-in-law, which room am I in?"

"Yours is a must." Song Yuntang pointed to the innermost wing, "Here, this is the largest of the three rooms. Can I give it to you? Or you can pick one, and if you choose, I'll make room for you."

The other two rooms were filled with medicinal herbs she had previously stockpiled.

If we really want to free up a room, it will probably take a lot of effort.

This is because Song Jinsheng and Mu Dong would load some up and take them back every time they came, otherwise there would be some piled up in Xu Wencheng's room.

But Xu Wencheng is not picky.

As he unloaded the mule cart, he said, "Just prepare it for me, sister-in-law. I'm a tough guy and can live anywhere."

They brought a lot of things from Lushan Village this time, including eight chickens, two baskets of eggs, a wild rabbit that Xu Yongwang had recently caught in the mountains, and vegetables grown at home, both with and without roots, including leeks, cabbages, and radishes, two full baskets.

After inspecting the yard, Xu Yongwang found a small hoe in the backyard, found a spot in the corner where Xu Qingye had built a chicken coop before, circled a small vegetable plot, and planted the vegetables with roots.

Seeing this, Song Yuntang couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Her original idea was that the backyard would be for living, and the front yard would be used to plant some flowers, plants and fruit trees, so that she could enjoy the flowers in spring, the leaves in summer and the fruits in autumn.

The only thing I didn’t expect was that it would end up being about growing vegetables.

But she didn't say anything. Not only are the prices of vegetables sold outside high, but the vegetables available for purchase are also pitifully scarce. It's okay to grow some vegetables in the yard.

After Jiang put her luggage away, she went to the backyard and killed a chicken.

I lit a small stove, put some mushrooms in, and started cooking in a clay pot.

"Tang'er, there is a well in the backyard. You bought a good yard with water and trees." Jiang said with a smile in the backyard.

Song Yuntang walked towards the backyard.

"When I bought it, I didn't think much about it. I just fell in love with the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard. After I bought it, I found it more and more to my liking."

She came to the well, drew a bucket of water and carried it up.

Xu Wencheng, who had just fed hay and water to the mules in the stable, hurried over here.

"Sister-in-law, the water tank in the kitchen is still full."

Song Yuntang pulled the bucket upwards with all his strength, "I'm going to carry the bucket of water to water Dad's vegetable garden."

Xu Wencheng smiled, took the hemp rope from her hand, and lifted the bucket up without much effort.

"Sister-in-law, let us do this kind of physical work in the future. Don't fall down with your weak arms and legs."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bucket and went to the front yard.

Song Yuntang was speechless for a moment.

But it was not good to argue with such a brat, so he glanced at him and went out to the Wu family's house next door.

Wu opened the gate and a look of surprise flashed across her face when she saw Song Yuntang.

"Why is Miss Song here now?"

Song Yuntang said a little embarrassedly, "Aunt Wu, this is the case. My parents-in-law and my brother-in-law are staying at home for a few days. I won't bother you to cook during this time. After they leave, you can continue to cook for us."

"Okay." Mrs. Wu answered readily, "Then how much should I refund you? You still have about ten pounds of rice left with me before. I'll go get it for you to prevent it from getting worms."
