Farmer's daughter Xue Linglong has space

Linglong hated her grandmother so much now that she didn't want to wait any longer. She went to the village to report the incident and called the villagers to tell them about the evil deeds her grandmother had done, including the fact that she had drugged her and resold her to the family of Sun Xiucai in the next village. The villagers scolded her grandmother for being so wicked. How could she do that to her granddaughter? Aren't the eldest son's family her own? As the saying goes, you can't live without the consequences of your own actions. Linglong brought many officials from the county government back to Taohua Village. Linglong told the officials to take her grandmother to the county government to have her beaten with a stick and locked up for a few days. She wanted to learn a lesson and suffer a little. The relationship had already been severed. Drugging her was one crime, and carrying her to someone else's house was another. When Liu saw the officials coming to catch her, she wanted to run away. When she was about to run out of the courtyard, the officials had already arrived. Who was Liu? We are the runners of the county government. Someone reported to the customs that she was trafficking in human beings, and we came to arrest her. Seeing this, the family pleaded for mercy. Old man Xue said that my wife did not understand the law, so is it a crime to sell her own granddaughter?

The yamen runner was furious after hearing this. How could human trafficking be illegal? This illiterate person knew it, so how could you not understand it? Old man Xue asked the magistrate if he could forgive her this time. She didn't understand these things and thought that selling her granddaughter was not illegal. Life at home was not good, so she wanted to sell some money to make a living without thinking too much. Could you please forgive her and promise not to do it again next time?

The yamen runner said that we were following orders. If the customs agent didn't care, then we could settle it privately. If he didn't want to settle it privately, there was nothing we could do and he had to be arrested. Liu was already crying and out of breath at this time. When she heard that her plea was not effective, she had to apologize to the customs agent. She had never apologized to a younger generation in her life. She was scared but couldn't save face, so she fell down and pretended to faint to see if she could escape. When old man Xue saw this, he said, "Old woman, don't scare me, okay? Without you in charge of the family, nothing can happen. Otherwise, you should bow your head and apologize to Linglong and the others. You can be spared from jail. Don't worry about face or anything else."

Liu closed her eyes and pretended not to hear anything. No matter what, she would just faint. Will the eldest brother and his family arrest me and take me to the county government office when they see me like this? She was still cursing the dead girl in her heart. If there was no such a dead girl like you, the old family would not be divided, and all the things that happened later would not happen. Old Xue and his second and third sons saw that it was like this, so why don’t they apologize on behalf of Liu’s family? Linglong, your grandmother is old and confused and doesn’t understand the law. Do you think you can spare your grandmother this time for the sake of your grandfather? Linglong didn’t want to spare her when she heard them apologize for her grandmother. There was really no way to spare her. She must suffer. Old Xue was so anxious that he almost knelt down. Linglong knew that his grandfather was going to kneel, so she quickly said that if he knelt down, he would be spared. I will not forgive my grandmother. The yamen runners arrested her, right?

The yamen runners heard that the matter could not be settled privately and Liu was pretending to be dead again, so they brought a stretcher to carry her away. Old Xue's house saw that he could not persuade Linglong anymore, so he told the second and third sons to just let your mother suffer and learn a lesson from it and see if she would commit the same crime again. So the yamen runners took the plaintiff and the defendant back to the county government office. The county magistrate knocked on the wooden board to find out who was guilty of what crime. Liu was still pretending to be unconscious. Linglong said, "Report to the county magistrate, we are from Taohua Village and the person on the stretcher is my grandmother Liu. My grandmother and her family didn't like our family so they broke off the relationship with us. Once I killed a tiger in the mountain and sold it to the blind date people I came back from, not to Old Xue's house, so she holds a grudge against me and never stops."

So she waited outside the yard to see when I would be home alone. She waited for several days but had no chance to take action. She could not wait any longer and sent someone to our house to say that someone outside the village was looking for my parents. I let my parents go without thinking, but my grandmother sneaked into the house after my parents left. She drugged me while I was pouring water and putting it on the table and happened to go to another room to get food. I was deceived because I did not check. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late and I fell down. When my grandmother saw that I fell down, she hit me a few times with her hands, but I did not wake up. I don't know where she got the strength to carry me and walked away until we met the family surnamed Sun next door.

This family didn't know that buying a person was illegal, and the child of this family had reached age and couldn't get married because of poverty, so they resorted to this desperate measure to buy a wife. The son of this family surnamed Sun, named Sun Yao, was a scholar. He listened to his parents' words and agreed to this matter without stopping. They put her in his room. After putting her away, Liu said to Sun's mother, "I brought the person to you, and what happened has nothing to do with me. If she runs away or dies, it's none of my business." When Sun's mother saw Linglong, she was white and had a good figure, and she would never find another one like her in the surrounding area. Sun's mother asked Sun Yao how he felt and whether he was moved.

Sun Yao's ears turned red after taking a look, "I do." When Liu heard that they were satisfied, she asked for 20 taels of silver and ran away. Sun's mother said, "Son, go and make it a done deal before she wakes up. This way, when she wakes up, she will be your wife whether she is willing or not." Sun Yao listened to his mother's words, opened the door and went in to attack Linglong, but she woke up and asked where this was and who she was. Sun Yao was so flustered when he saw her wake up that he didn't know what to say. He stammered, "You are the one our family spent 20 taels of silver to buy back as a daughter-in-law." Linglong was not happy when she heard this and asked who sold it. Did you know that it was illegal to buy and sell without the knowledge of the parties involved? Sun Yao was a scholar, so how could he not know that the old man in the family was anxious to marry a daughter-in-law and have grandchildren?

I had to resort to this desperate measure and just then a man named Liu said that he had a beautiful granddaughter who was unmarried, so he found the Sun family and told them about this matter. We hit it off immediately and he brought you to my house.

After listening to her story, Linglong said, "Sun Xiucai, I know it's not easy for you to marry a wife, but it's illegal to tie me up and send me here without my consent. Did Sun Xiucai study for nothing?" Linglong was so ashamed that she said, "Since you don't want to, then give me the 20 taels of silver that my family spent and go back. What do you think?" Linglong let herself go after hearing this, and took out 20 taels of silver and stumbled back home.

This is what happened, Mr. County Magistrate. After listening to this, Liu could no longer pretend. The bailiffs came to the court in a majestic manner. Liu was so scared that she admitted everything in order to suffer less punishment. Originally, the county magistrate said that if she did not admit the crime, he would find the Sun family to testify. Liu confessed very readily and the Sun family was not summoned.

However, the Sun family also wanted to be punished, and the yamen runners later came to their house and fined them 100 taels of silver as a warning to others.

The punishment for Liu was 30 beatings with a stick, a fine of 100 taels, and 15 days in jail, which was executed immediately. The county magistrate asked the plaintiff Linglong if this result was feasible. Linglong immediately replied, "Thank you, sir, for doing justice for me. I'm very satisfied with the result." He then asked Liu if she was willing. After hearing the county magistrate's words, Liu cried and said that she was willing to have such a result. He then asked the yamen runners to drag Liu away to be beaten with a stick. When Liu looked at Linglong, her eyes were full of blood and she stared at her, "You dead girl, I hate you so much that you must die a horrible death. Our old house will never forgive your family."

After being beaten with 30 boards, he was fined and put back in jail. Old Man Xue saw this and thought that there was no hope for him. It was ok to suffer a little as long as he would not commit the crime again. Old Man Xue and his friends could not bear it anymore and said to Liu, "You should reform yourself and try to release her as soon as possible." Liu cursed and even scolded the old man, "You old fool, you don't care about me anymore." Old Man Xue was so angry that he ignored her and took his sons home.

Just as Linglong was about to leave, she heard the yamen runners say that they were going to the Sun family to impose a fine and would take her with them. Linglong thought it was a good idea since she didn't have a carriage anyway, so she might as well just take a ride back. So she returned to her home and told the people in the village who didn't know the result.
