"Take it!"

The embroidered robe official reacted quickly, and the surrounding constables rushed forward to arrest the man.

Wang Ming was not in a hurry to be exposed. He knew he could not escape. He sneered at Magistrate Zhang and said, "The Magistrate has clearly accepted my money, but he can't even handle such a small matter. It turns out that the officials of the Yong Dynasty are all useless!!"

County Magistrate Zhang suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. It was over. His official career was over.

Looking at Wang Ming like this, Su He subconsciously took two steps back. As expected, after Wang Ming finished speaking, he bit the poison in his teeth and committed suicide.

The embroidered official looked at Wang Ming, who had fallen to the ground and died, and sneered at Magistrate Zhang, "Immediately, Zhang Wen will be imprisoned and await the imperial decree."

Magistrate Zhang fell to the ground in fear, all his previous dignity gone.

"Sir, please give me another chance. I sincerely serve Dayong!"

The official in embroidered robes snorted coldly and ordered the constable to take the man away immediately.

After dealing with the spy and Magistrate Zhang, the embroidered robe official turned his attention to Su He.

Su He quickly lowered his head. He had to admit defeat at this moment.

"Su Hehua, what do you think we should do with the sweet potatoes from Liushu Village?"

What does this mean?

"Sir, what I mean is that all of them can be used for farming next year to expand production. However, there are only so many fertile fields in Liushu Village. We can go to the neighboring village to find some more land for farming. With these sweet potatoes, I believe that the people of our Great Yong Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger."

Su He stole a glance at the embroidered clothes official, "But, I wonder how much money you want to spend to buy it?"

The clerk in embroidered robes laughed. This Su Hehua was really brave.

"Then it'll be eight cents. Someone will come with you to pay the money tomorrow, and the sweet potatoes will be distributed on the spot. Since you are so capable, you will be responsible for everything. If you don't do well, I will punish you!"

Damn it, none of the officials are good.

"Don't worry, my lord. Lotus will be ready."

Su He smiled flatteringly at the clerk in embroidered clothes. This guy had a strong murderous aura and seemed to be a ruthless character.

"Well, then go ahead."

"Then can my family be acquitted?"

The embroidered official looked at the few people still lying on the ground and said, "Since the spy has been found, it's not your fault. Go away. Be honest from now on."

Su He hurried forward to help Zhou up, "Thank you, sir. We are all honest farmers and will not cause any trouble. We will wait for you in the village tomorrow."

Wang Bin and Wang Fugui both got up, but the rest of the family members were still locked up in the dungeon, waiting for the constables to come and pick them up.

"Hehua, did you bring the divorce letter?"

Wang Bin asked softly.

Su He nodded quickly, took out three identical divorce documents from his sleeve and handed them to Wang Bin.

Wang Bin was about to take it, but when he looked at his dirty hands, he wiped them hard on his body. Unfortunately, they became dirtier the more he wiped. Su He couldn't bear it, so she took out her handkerchief and gave it to him. Wang Bin finally wiped his hands clean.

He walked towards Lin Xiaozhao, who was still lying on the ground in a daze, holding three documents.

Lin Xiaozhao slowly raised her head and looked at Wang Bin who was slowly walking towards her.

He looked like he had rolled in the mud, extremely dirty, only his hands were clean. Lin Xiaozhao didn't dare to look into Wang Bin's eyes, she felt Wang Bin squatting down.

"This is the divorce agreement. I asked Hehua to write it in advance. I've already put my fingerprints on it. The only thing missing is yours."

Wang Bin placed them one by one on the ground, and then placed the ink pad handed over by Su He next to Lin Xiaozhao's hand.

Lin Xiaozhao was silent for a long time, but finally pressed the buttons one by one.

Su He took it and asked Zhang's mother for help, and went to the next room to get the stamp.

Wang Bin was still half-kneeling on the ground, staring at the woman seriously. He suddenly thought of something, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and put the bag into Lin Xiaozhao's hand.

"This is the silver my mother gave me when she divided the family property. It was originally one tael. I treated my parents and other family members to noodles today. Each person got ten coins for the noodle soup. For eight people, that's eighty coins. I have nine and twenty coins left."

Lin Xiaozhao looked up in surprise. Wang Bin saw that Lin Xiaozhao finally looked at him and smiled at him. Unexpectedly, his nose felt itchy. Wang Bin wiped it with the back of his hand and it was covered in blood.

Wang Bin wiped his hands behind his back without caring, "You have always been in charge of the family's money. Now that I haven't received the documents, I will treat it as if we haven't divorced yet. Take it."

"It's not much, but it's all I have. I will give the acre of land at home to Tietou in the future. You can keep this money as your own money and don't give it to your family."

Seeing this, Zhou was about to step forward and ask, why should we give this silver to this bitch!

Wang Fugui reached out and held Zhou's hand, "Listen to your son."

Su He also stamped the document at this time.

Wang Bin handed one to Lin Xiaozhao.

"It's my fault that I, Wang Bin, am incompetent and made you suffer. I hope you will be well in the future."

After Wang Bin finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and said to Wang Fugui and the others, "Mom and Dad, let's go. It will be dark if we don't go home."

Su He glanced at Lin Xiaozhao and whispered, "I'll go buy another carriage, and we'll hurry back together."

Mother Zhang was still standing by, and seeing this, she quickly suggested, "We have an extra car at the Zhao Mansion, we'll lend it to you, and just return it in two days."

Su He didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

It just so happened that Wang Quangui and a few others came out this time, and everyone followed Mother Zhang.

In the court, everyone left at once, leaving only Lin Xiaozhao still on the ground.

She looked at the purse in her hand and thought back to the days when they had just been married.

"Wang Bin, from now on, I will be in charge of the family's money."

"Row."

"You must report to me all the money you spend, including what you ate and drank, who you ate with, and why you ate. Tell me everything."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

.............

"Wang Bin, I want to make clothes out of the new cotton cloth from the cloth shop. My clothes are all old."

"Okay, then make two sets and buy one for Tietou as well."

"But my mother said that there was not enough money at home, so she asked me to buy one."

"It's okay. When the farming season is over, I'll go to the city and look for some temporary work to earn back the money. Let mother give it to you first."

.............

"Xiao Zhao, I worked outside for three days. Here, 55 cents."

"Really? Why are there so many this time?"

"Hey, 20 cents a day, no food included."

"So you spent five cents in three days?"

"Yes, when I went there, my mother brought me steamed bread for two days. On the last day, I spent one cent on a steamed bun for lunch. For dinner, the host happened to have some leftovers, so I ate them. Didn't you say you hadn't eaten meat for a long time? I bought two meat buns, one for you and one for my mother."

.............

"Wang Bin, when are you going to buy me a silver hairpin? Xiaohua from our village went back to her parents' home this year and said her husband bought her a gold one. I don't even have a silver one."

"Xiao Zhao, give me some more time, I will buy it for you later."

"I've been waiting for so long. How much longer will it take? You said you would always treat me well."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhao, I'm useless."

Lin Xiaozhao took off the golden hairpin on her head. It was a betrothal gift from Wang Ming.

“Now that I have it, why am I not happy?”

Tears flowed down drop by drop, dripping onto the two dazzling red handprints.

"But why am I not happy?"
