928 Good Idea
Lord Liu furrowed his brows and asked sternly, ” are the two of you here to tell me that Lin sanniu is unfilial if he doesn’t work? ”
Lin Daniu choked. He wasn’t here to sue Lin sanniu. His goal was to destroy Lord Liu’s impression of Lin yuelan. He wanted to let Lord Liu know that Lin yuelan was an unfilial person.
However, li Cuihua quickly replied, ” Yes, my lord. That third son of mine actually didn’t care about our old age and made us work in the fields. My Lord, please punish such an unfilial son!”
Lord Liu did not say anything else.
He didn’t speak, and Li Cuihua and Lin Daniu also lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak.
As for the surrounding people, other than Lin yuelan and her group, who were watching the show with a mocking expressions, no one else dared to make a sound.
At this moment, the entire place fell silent!
The silence continued until the subordinate arrived and whispered a few words into Lord Liu’s ear. Lord Liu suddenly shouted in anger, ” you wicked woman! How dare you lie to me?”
When li Cuihua heard Lord Liu’s stern and angry shout, she immediately paled in fright and replied in a trembling voice, ” Sir … My Lord, why do you say that?”
Lord Liu asked angrily, ” You want to sue your third son, Lin sanniu?! As far as I know, your third son has been driven out of the house by you and is living in the stinky cowshed of the neighbor’s house. He lacks food and clothes, and you have not given him a single copper or a single grain of rice. If that’s the case, why did you ask your third son to go back to work? Your family all have so many young and strong people, can’t you all work this ten mu of land? Then what is your family doing?
“This official also heard that you made your third son’s family work and didn’t give them food to eat after work, right?”
Lord Liu’s sharp gaze seemed to be filled with ferocity as he glared at li Cuihua and Lin Daniu.
Li Cuihua and Lin Daniu were so scared that they shivered, their faces extremely ugly.
They had not expected that in such a short period of time, Lord Liu would be able to find out so much about the matter. This completely exceeded their expectations.
“Li Cuihua, I’ll ask you one more time. Do you still insist on suing your third son?” Lord Liu asked sternly.
Li cuihua’s eyes brightened. Just as she was about to say yes, Lord Liu added, ” if you insist on suing him, I’ll tell you that your third son completely has the right to be dissociated from your family because he has already been abandoned. So, what is your choice now?”
Hearing Lord Liu’s stern and serious words, li cuihua’s face immediately turned from white to green, her entire person filled with shock and fear, not knowing what to do.
The choice Lord Liu had given her was not the result she wanted.
What she wanted was for Lord Liu to give Lin sanniu a few big slaps, then order them to go back to work. If possible, he would also drag Lin yuelan down with him.
After all, it was disrespectful and unfilial for a father and mother to work for their daughter without any compensation or welfare other than food.
At that time, Lin yuelan’s image in the county magistrate’s eyes would plummet, and there was a high chance that he would order Lin yuelan to compensate the Lin sanniu couple.
Of course, the compensation would fly into the hands of Li Cuihua and her husband.
In the end, she just wanted to get money from Lin yuelan.
This was the main reason why Li Cuihua had suddenly intercepted the county magistrate and lodged a complaint against Lin sanniu.
However, they never expected that if they really wanted to sue Lin sanniu for being unfilial, Lin Sanniu could cut ties with them.
According to the new ” laws of filial piety “, Lin sanniu’s family would no longer have any ties with the Lin family. This way, they would not be able to do anything to Lin sanniu.
Li Cuihua and the others hated Lin sanniu, but they had never thought of cutting off their bloodline to him.
If they really cut off all ties with Lin sanniu, who would do the work in the Lin family’s fields in the future? How could their family survive?
Seeing that Li Cuihua had no choice, Lord Liu sneered, ” Li Cuihua, I’ll ask you one last time. Do you still insist on suing your third son? ”
Li cuihua’s face was pale. Even though she was kneeling, she still felt like she was about to fall.
At that moment, Lin Laosan knelt in front of Lord Liu and apologized sincerely, ” please calm down, my Lord! We’re not going to sue my third son for being unfilial. It’s all a misunderstanding. It’s all because this ignorant woman was too angry that she said those stupid words. Please forgive her, my lord!”
