Chapter 659: If you bully orphans and widows, I can bully you too
The hatred of Party A said to himself, Xiao Tang heard that there seemed to be a layer of frost on his face, and Hua Rong and Niu Gao were also gloomy. They can also hear that Song Zhenniang does not want to hold all the family property of her father-in-law, and is willing to divide half of the business and hand it over to her father-in-law's brothers, but Qiu Jia and others are aggressive in order to compete for more inheritance, and that guy is high-sounding, but to put it bluntly, not only does he want to forcibly seize all of Qiu Shen's family property, but even plans to blast Qiongying's mother and daughter out of the door! Just came to mourn for the heirs of the Qiu family's clan, Qiu Shen's brothers couldn't help but look ugly.
And Song Zhenniang was stunned when she heard this, and then she also had a cold face, she had made enough concessions, but these brothers of the Xianggong clan were not only greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, they simply took advantage of the fact that the Qiu Mansion now had no backbone, and they wanted to drive their mother and daughter out of the house!
Song Zhenniang was angry and sad, and said angrily in her heart: Even if you always only treat me as an outsider, but my son Qiongying, she also sheds the blood of your enemy!
Listening to Qiu Jia's use of the situation, Song Zhenniang was originally soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, so he said with a cold face: "I understand the kindness of several uncles." It's just that although the husband's life is thin, he has now left incense, and there are still our mothers at home, so this door is not extinct. When my father-in-law and mother-in-law died, they had already divided the property of the enemy family among their uncles and uncles.
The money that my father-in-law has earned in the past ten years is also based on his own ability. A few uncles and uncles, please ask yourself, if it weren't for my father-in-law's frequent care, how could you live as happily as you are now, and my father-in-law's bones are not cold, you would have asked me to hand over all the livelihoods, land, and even this mansion that he left behind, I'm afraid this is even more inappropriate, right? ”
As soon as Song Zhenniang's words came out, the relatives of the enemy clan were in an uproar! Listening to her tone, it seems that she has changed her mind, and she doesn't want these hateful brothers and nephews to take advantage of it! Qiu Jiaqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, he looked at Song Zhenniang coldly, and said: "Sister-in-law, that's not what you said, now that you are in the prime of your youth, can you really be widowed for my brother at such an age?" What's more, you don't have the surname Qiu, and Manager Ye is an outsider, who knows if you will sell your eldest brother's family property, so that my enemy's family business will be cheaper for others!? ”
Ye Qing next to him had no scruples when he heard Qiu Jia's words, and said that he was just an outsider, and he was already furious, and then he heard Qiu Jia's idea that he was even more likely to hit the deceased master's property, and he was even more annoyed that he wanted to beat all these birds out with a stick!
But Ye Qing also knew that most of the people present were blood relatives of the head of the family, and today was a day of condolences for his master, so Rao was angry, but he couldn't make a mistake, because he clenched his fists so that the green tendons burst out, and he could only hold back the anger in his heart.
Song Zhenniang was so angry that her face was pale, her eyes were full of tears of grievance, and she said in a trembling voice: "Husband and wife tie the knot, and righteousness is very valuable." If there is misfortune, the middle lane will lean first...... Keep the family business and tidy up the tomb. Diligent training, saving the glory of death. Although I am only a shallow learner, I have also been familiar with the Analects of Women since I was a child, and I know the truth of being a wife and starting from the beginning. How could they change their family and marry another, and in turn they would ruin the family property of the father-in-law!? Uncles and uncles listen: The emperor is above, if I, Song Zhenniang, can't keep the festival for the princess until death, I will only discipline me not to die well, and I will not be able to live forever! ”
"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this? My eldest brother marrying you is also a continuation of the string, which one taught you to swear poisonously? ”
Qiu Jia snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "You are just a woman's family, how can you maintain this family?" A few of us are all kind, but you are so anxious! If it was your age, you and my eldest brother would not have been on the same page, and now that he is dead. You won't be bound by my enemy anymore, don't you really covet the family property left by your eldest brother, and you won't share it with us at all? Hum! ”
"This guy is begging for a fight!" Niu Gao, who was watching not far away, heard that these Qiu Shen's uncles and brothers were going to embarrass Song Zhenniang and Qiong Yingniang, and the more he spoke, the more ugly he became, he was just about to run out to teach Qiu Jia a lesson, but Xiao Tang grabbed his wrist to death.
Niu Gao turned his head, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and said angrily: "Brother! Those guys are hateful, can we really watch those handful of birds embarrassed by this pair of orphans and widows!?"
"It's not that you don't help, it's just that you can't act recklessly. If necessary, if you take action and easily stand up and interfere in the affairs of the enemy's clan, you will only be more likely to be tongued. ”
Xiao Tang shook his head and sighed, he also knew very well that in ancient China, the clan system and the national legal system were complementary to each other, and when civil disputes occurred in the countryside in ordinary counties, as long as the case was not too big, there would usually be a clan patriarch or a blood relative with some status in the clan to come forward to resolve the dispute. On the one hand, the ancestral property, public land and other resources of the clan collective will be used to support the widowed or poor people, which can also play a certain progressive significance in maintaining the stability of the whole society at that time, but when all the members of the clan group become deliberately targeted at a certain people...... So for that person, if the life situation is worse than death, it is not very exaggerated.
However, even when ordinary government adjudicates cases, civil litigation is usually inclined to the side of the clan group, not to mention such disputes over the division of family property. On one side is the mother and daughter who have just been widowed, and on the other side is the entire Qiu clan group, even if the county government makes a decision, most of them will be Song Zhenniang's mother and daughter who will suffer a big loss. Presumably, this is also the reason why Qiu Jia has no fear, and is impatient to drive Song Zhenniang out of Qiu Mansion.
With Xiao Tang's current power, he can not only interfere, but even if he uses his power to rectify Qiu Jia and the others to death, it is not a big deal. But Xiao Tang doesn't like public weapons for private use, and uses the power of the government to suppress ordinary people, not to mention that if he really wants to make a move, Song Zhenniang and Qiong Ying may not be accepted by the entire Qiu clan. So he is just paying attention to the situation at the scene now, and he really waited until Song Zhenniang was forced to have no way out, and Xiao Tang really couldn't bear it anymore, so he could take action to save their mother and daughter.
Of course, now Xiao Tang knows very well that he can't hold back for a long time......
Hearing that the other party was beating back, Song Zhenniang's eyebrows were upside down, her eyes were red, and she said in a cold voice: "Since I came to the enemy's house, I have respected my family like a guest, how can I ever have a place where I have lost the slightest bit of women's morality?" Qiu Jia, you have lost your capital two or three times in business, and it is all my father-in-law's contribution to help, and I also hope that you can raise your younger siblings and three nephews well. You say that I am not right with Xianggong, but when he is still alive, have you ever dared to say such a thing to him!? ”
Seeing that Qiu Jia and Song Zhenniang were talking more and more stiffly, the rogue temper of the third brother Qiu Shen next to him was about to flare up. Qiu Jia will still do some business to make a living, but Qiu Shen's third brother is not only lazy and does not do his job, but also eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does everything. Now that his eldest brother was killed by thieves, the third brother Qiu Shen first thought that his eldest brother's family was rich, and he could be regarded as being able to get a piece of the pie, but Song Zhenniang refused to let go, how could the third brother Qiu Shen, an idler in Mianshang County, be able to rely on it?
But seeing Qiu Shen's third brother jumping out, he pointed at Song Zhenniang and scolded: "For the sake of the eldest brother's face, I just called you sister-in-law!" But if it weren't for the death of your woman's father, how could my eldest brother be killed by thieves and robbers on the way to the funeral? This is really rare, your father died, and my eldest brother was also killed, how can you be here with good dignity?
My eldest brother has earned a lot of family wealth, and he has also taught me to honor my ancestors, and the hopes of the whole clan have fallen on my eldest brother! Your father and my eldest brother died strangely, I'm afraid that either you will be harmed, or you will kill him with your! Otherwise, how could a good life be lost like this!? ”
Song Zhenniang's head buzzed when she heard this, and she was even more angry and trembling! In the past, the third brother of his father-in-law often came to the door with his face to ask for money, Qiu Shen often scolded him because he was not angry, and the kind-hearted Song Zhenniang often persuaded his father-in-law that since he was a flesh and blood sibling, harmony between brothers was still important, but Song Zhenniang never expected that he would use such murderous words today, as if a knife had stabbed her heart!
Douda's tears rolled like pearls with broken threads, Song Zhenniang's face slid down, she raised her eyes to look, all the Qiu clan relatives present had strange expressions, and they all stared at her with indifferent and resentful eyes, as if another steel needle had pierced her heart. Grievances, sorrows, and resentments all poured into her heart, if it weren't for her daughter hugging her tightly, Song Zhenniang would have been eager to die in front of her father-in-law's spiritual position!
"Poof!" Song Zhenniang's mouth suddenly overflowed with a mouthful of blood, staining her pale lips and a piece of heavy filial piety linen on her chest, she shook it a few times, couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
Qiu Jia and Qiu Shen's third brother were stunned, they didn't expect that after a few words, Song Zhenniang would faint angrily, at this moment, Qiong Ying suddenly cried and rushed towards Qiu Shen's third brother, and while punching him, he also cried, "You are all big bad people!" Don't bully my mother! ”
The third brother of Qiu Shen was beaten by a little girl, and he was even more annoyed, he scolded: "Presumptuous! Elders speak, how can you have the share of a little girl to speak!? I don't need your mother's discipline, and I dare to do it to the elder!" He scolded and pushed again, and pushed Qiong Ying to the ground heavily.
But before Qiu Shen's third brother could withdraw his hand, his right arm was suddenly shackled, and the man's hand was so strong that it seemed to crush Qiu Shen's third brother's arm bone! He was so pained that he howled like a pig!
