Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

After a while, the stall owner finally spoke up: "Your cousin's family has run into some trouble. If there's nothing else, you can go back with your cousin."

"That won't work!"

The stall owner's voice had barely faded when Shang Qing's voice rang out.

Shang Qing gritted her teeth, frowned, and pinched herself hard.

Soon, her eyes turned red, and tears seemed about to well up at any moment, making her look very pitiful.

"Boss, we can't go back now. We wouldn't have come to rely on my cousin if there wasn't a reason. Just tell me, where does my cousin live?"

Luo Bin frowned at Shang Qing's expression but didn't say anything, though there was some unease in his eyes.

If he hadn't known that the person in front of him was Shang Qing, he would have really thought it was a different person, a relative of Li Qing.

This acting is flawless...

However, he cannot hold anyone back.

Luo Bin remained silent for a moment, then took a step forward, stopped next to Shang Qing, and raised his hands to bow to the stall owner.

"Boss, my family used to run a business, but we went bankrupt and that's why we're here. If you know where my cousin's house is, please help us out."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner took a deep breath, his face full of helplessness.

Looking at Shang Qing's expression, he finally nodded.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, but I also advise you not to get your hopes up too high. Anyway... sigh, Li Qing's house is on Lotus Street, the last one, and it should be surrounded by soldiers right now."

"It's been surrounded?"

Shang Qing looked at the stall owner with some confusion, wondering what the stall owner meant by that.

The stall owner raised his hand and waved, saying nothing more.

Seeing the stall owner's expression, they could only swallow their words, turn around, and leave for Lotus Street.

Before we even reached Lotus Street, we saw a large crowd blocking the way, making it impossible to squeeze in.

They were still talking amongst themselves.

"That's terrible. Li Qing's family are all very kind, except for that old woman. But what kind of people could Li Qing's mother, who is paralyzed in bed, possibly offend?"

"Who knows? Some murderers just want to kill, for no reason at all."

……

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing raised an eyebrow and then gave Luo Bin a wink.

Luo Bin looked at Shang Qing with some confusion, not quite understanding what Shang Qing meant.

Shang Qing ignored all of that and took two steps forward, looking at these people with deep sorrow.

"What are you saying? My cousin? What happened to my cousin and the others?"

The sound wasn't very loud, but everyone could hear it.

They all turned their heads and looked at Shang Qing, some of them puzzled.

The woman who had just spoken looked Shang Qing up and down and asked, "The cousin you mentioned is Li Qing, and you are Li Qing's cousin?"

Shang Qing nodded, immediately walked up to the woman and stopped, raised his hands and placed them on her shoulders, looking at her anxiously.

"I'm Li Qing's cousin, Auntie. What did you just say about my cousin and his family?"

The aunt sighed and looked at Shang Qing with some helplessness.

“Li Qing’s family came here a year ago. I have a fairly good relationship with Li Qing’s wife. I heard from her that she has a cousin. I didn’t expect you to come at such an inopportune time.”

Seeing how cooperative this woman was, Shang Qing wanted to go over and give her a big hug.

With the aunt's words, who could doubt their identities?

Shang Qing stared at the woman, waiting for her to continue.

The woman turned her head and looked at the people around her. Everyone around her lowered their heads, clearly not wanting to say anything more.

Looking at their expressions, the auntie was unsure whether she should speak up.

Luo Bin took two steps forward, nodded to the aunt, and said, "Auntie, we really are relatives of Li Qing. My name is Li Chen, and this is my sister, Li Jiaojiao. Can you please tell us what happened to my cousin?"

The woman pointed to the doorway and said, "You see, the Li Qing family was wiped out. Not a single person survived, um, that's it..."

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing staggered, but fortunately, the person behind him supported him so that he did not faint.

No one doubted their identities.

After a moment, Shang Qing straightened up and looked at the older woman.

"What happened? Why were they all wiped out? My cousin and sister-in-law are both very good-natured, how could they have been wiped out?"

The woman stepped back, distancing herself from Shang Qing.

That habitual criminal never leaves anyone alive when he kills an entire family, so that no one will go to the yamen to seek justice.

In her opinion, these two people wouldn't live much longer.

I don't want to have much dealing with them, to avoid causing myself trouble.

However, seeing Shang Qing's condition, the aunt still gave her a reminder.

I don't know anything, and you don't need to ask me. If you want to know the specifics, just go to the government office and seek justice there.

After saying that, the woman turned around and left.

That's exactly what they were waiting for. Hearing this, Shang Qing didn't hesitate and turned to Luo Bin, saying, "Brother, let's go to the yamen. I refuse to believe that no one will take care of this!"

After saying that, Shang Qing led Luo Bin toward the yamen.

However, in order to conceal their identities as people who had been there before, they specifically stopped to ask for directions.

Many people followed along to watch the spectacle, and it was easy for them to find it.

They soon arrived at the entrance of the yamen. Shang Qing gave Luo Bin a wink, and Luo Bin immediately walked forward to the drum, stopped, picked up something nearby, and began to beat the drum to appeal for justice.

The government office was quite efficient; they invited them in shortly afterward.

People outside who wanted to come in to see were blocked by soldiers.

The county magistrate was already somewhat impatient, and was surprised when he saw Shang Qing.

After all, she's the first person who's so beautiful to come here and beat the drum to appeal for justice.

Shang Qing first kowtowed to the county magistrate before saying, "I beg the county magistrate to do justice for us and avenge my cousin!"

Luo Bin also kowtowed, trying to please him.

"We beg the magistrate to do us justice!"

Upon hearing this, the magistrate took a deep breath and looked at them with some helplessness.

"Alright, alright, just tell me what grievances you have."

Shang Qing nodded, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and stared at the county magistrate as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"I am Li Qing's cousin, Li Jiaojiao, and this is my older brother, Li Chen. We are here today because of my cousin Li Qing."

Li Qing's cousin.

Upon hearing this, the magistrate frowned, his expression turning rather unpleasant.

He naturally knew about Li Qing's situation; he almost lost all his hair because of it.

Li Qing's problem hasn't been resolved yet, and now his cousin has arrived, leaving him absolutely no way out.

but……

The magistrate looked at Shang Qing with a serious expression and asked, "Are you sure she's Li Qing's cousin?"
