Seeing that several men in the family had been arrested, the sisters-in-law were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Second sister-in-law, what should we do? We are so anxious!" Mrs. Hong from the third room cried and wiped her tears.

At the critical moment, Hong and Liu were at a loss. Usually, the second house had a lot of ideas, so they could only wait and see what she could come up with.

"Why are you crying? Don't you think it's chaotic enough?" Qu rolled her eyes at Hong and paced back and forth anxiously.

Suddenly she had an idea and clapped her hands, saying, "My boss is right. Now I can only ask my mother for help."

Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Liu looked at each other. This old woman has been bedridden for so long, how can she help?

"What are you two doing standing there? Go! Hurry up and get some porridge to feed mother!" Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Ou urged them.

"Oh~ I'll go right away~"

The two of them finally reacted at this time and hurried to the kitchen.

"Third sister-in-law, do you think Second sister-in-law's idea is feasible?" Liu asked as they walked.

"We've got to give it our all. There's no other way right now." Mrs. Hong frowned.

Hong filled a ceramic bowl with some multi-grain porridge and some pickles, while Liu followed behind with some water and a stool.

Ou repeatedly told Hong to say nice things to their mother. After that, Ou called Liu and the two of them rushed to the Heyang County government office.

Now Ou regretted not asking her aunt where she worked yesterday. Now that something happened, she didn't know where to find her.

Not knowing whether Yang Laoer and the others would be tortured if they were captured, Qu was extremely anxious.

It is said that Hong took the multi-grain porridge to the woodshed. After her sister-in-law and her family swept the woodshed, it became much cleaner.

However, the air was still a little turbid and there was a faint smell of stench, so Hong covered her nose and went in.

When Zhao heard someone opening the door, she turned around and wanted to see who it was.

She couldn't remember when her daughter-in-law brought her food. If her daughter hadn't come back yesterday and fed her a bowl of noodles, she would probably have starved to death by now.

When she heard the door open, she was surprised and wondered if her daughter came again.

Zhao was surprised to see the person coming. She didn't expect it to be the third son's wife, Hong.

In the past, the daughter-in-law always looked unhappy when she saw her, but now she was smiling: "Mom, are you hungry? I'll get you some porridge."

Zhao's heart suddenly started to alarm. Her daughter-in-law was acting so abnormally today. Could she be trying to poison her?

Ever since she had a bowl of noodle dumpling soup yesterday, Zhao's stomach has been so hungry that her stomach is sticking to her back.

"Mom, I brought your favorite pickles, come here~" Hong put down the stool and sat next to her. She fed Zhao porridge with a spoon.

She hasn't come to visit her mother-in-law since she broke her leg. Previously, it was the Yang brothers who took turns to look after her.

If I didn't need her help, I wouldn't have come in.

Zhao was already starving. She closed her mouth tightly, looked at the porridge handed to her, swallowed her saliva, and stared at Hong.

Hong suppressed her inner disgust and said with a forced smile: "Mom, why don't you eat it? There is no poison in it!"

Seeing that her mother-in-law still refused to open her mouth, Hong could only take a bite herself.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law took a bite herself, Zhao felt relieved and opened her mouth.

After a while, Zhao finished her porridge. Hong put the bowl aside and began to sob.

"Mom, my sister-in-law actually reported us to the police, saying that we were abusing you. The county magistrate sent people to arrest the three of us~"

Haha~

Zhao sneered. Only then did she understand why her daughter-in-law behaved out of character today. It turned out that a few unfilial sons were captured.

"Mom, we didn't have much food at home, but we didn't let you starve. How can this be considered abuse?" Mrs. Hong said while wiping her tears.

"Okay! God has eyes. You unfilial people should all be arrested!" Zhao shouted incoherently.

"Mom, no matter how wrong they are, they are still your sons. They are still young. If they are imprisoned, how will we, a widow and a lonely mother, survive?

Mrs. Hong cried and begged.

Zhao was silent at this moment. What her daughter-in-law said was right. She was also responsible for the way they became today. It was because she had not educated them well.

If any of them went to jail, this family would break up.

If it really comes to that, I won't be able to explain to the old man when I get there.

But now she was lying here, unable to help even if she wanted to. Zhao closed her eyes and turbid tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Mother, please beg my eldest sister-in-law to say something good in front of the county magistrate~" But no matter what Hong said, Zhao didn't say a word, let alone open her eyes to look at her.

Hong was so thirsty that she saw her mother-in-law was not listening. She said angrily, "You old woman, you are asking for death instead of death. You are bringing trouble to our descendants~"

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She forced a smile and said through gritted teeth, "Mom, you take a rest first. I'll go out first."

The two sisters-in-law of the Qu family did not come back until the evening. Hong had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them at home. Seeing that the two sisters looked unhappy, she immediately asked them anxiously.

"How about it?"

The two shook their heads. It turned out that when they went to the county government office, they didn't even see their brothers.

The jailer didn't let either of them in.

The two had no choice but to go around to the county government office, but they were stopped by the officials again and were not allowed to go in. The two could only stand at the door and worry.

Later, at the suggestion of an official, the two men paid a few dozen coins and finally found out the news, saying that the court would be held in two days.

If it is verified that the brothers were guilty of abusing their mother, they will be sentenced to less than ten years in prison.

When the two heard this, they were stunned and anxious, and the officer gave them another idea.

He said that if the reporter and the old mother could forgive them, the brothers would be given ten strokes of the cane each and then be allowed to go home. The officer asked them to go back and think of a solution.

Looking at the backs of the two men, County Magistrate Zhang raised his lips and walked out. This was all Madam Shen's idea, she just wanted to teach the brothers a lesson.

After hearing what Ou said, Hong lost her mood. She asked the children to eat first, and the three sisters-in-law discussed things again.

After discussing it for a while, they all agreed that the most urgent thing was to find the elder sister-in-law, but where should they find her? They were at a loss as to where to find her.

Ou raised her head and narrowed her eyes: "I don't believe that my elder sister-in-law won't come over these few days! Take good care of the old woman these days! Don't let her get hold of anything~"

Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Liu nodded. This was the only thing they could do for now.
