We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a bit dull, and everyone ate in silence with their own thoughts.

Xi Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked around the crowd with a firm look, and finally made the topic clear: "Sister-in-law, brother Haixu, to be honest, I am not coveting this meal, but I really want to solve your problem for you."

As he said that, he looked at Hai Ling with sincerity in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, I heard that your daughter was forcefully driven away by her husband's family. Is this true?"

When Hai Ling and Xiu Xiu heard this, they were both stunned. They stopped moving their hands and looked at Hai Xu subconsciously.

Haixu suddenly felt embarrassed, his face turned white and red. He lightly kicked Xi Yu under the table and secretly accused him of being nosy. This was their family's private matter and they didn't want outsiders to interfere.

Xi Yu seemed unaware, just staring at Hai Ling, waiting for her answer.

Hai Ling lowered her head slightly, with a flash of pain and helplessness in her eyes, and said softly: "It is true, but it is a household matter of our family. We understand the kindness of the young master, but this matter... is not easy to handle."

Xiuxiu bit her lips tightly, tears flashing in her eyes, as if recalling that painful experience.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, and became more determined to help the family. He said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as you are willing to say it, I will do my best. In this world, evil people cannot be allowed to go unpunished."

Seeing that Xi Yu was so persistent, Hai Xu couldn't say anything more. He just sighed helplessly, thinking that this matter was going to get serious, but deep down in his heart, he was secretly expecting that Xi Yu might really be able to help.

When Guo Xiuxiu heard Xi Yu's words, she suddenly felt sad and her tears couldn't stop flowing down. Her already haggard face was now full of pain, and her thin shoulders kept shaking.

Xi Yu hurriedly comforted her softly: "Miss Xiuxiu, don't cry. It's not good for your health if you cry."

Hai Ling felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter like this. She turned to look at Xi Yu, with some confusion and confusion in her eyes, and asked: "Master, this is originally a private matter of our family, why are you still holding on to this?" Don’t let things go?”

Xi Yu looked sincere and said in a calm tone: "Sister-in-law, to be honest, I heard Brother Haixu mention it a few times last night, and I haven't been able to let it go. I am the person who can't bear to see such unfair things. Although I am just a stranger passing by, I just want to mind my own business. If I can help, it can be considered a good thing. I can't just watch you suffer this injustice. "

Hai Ling was slightly moved after hearing this, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She was both grateful and worried. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, but she didn't know how to say it, so she just sighed silently.

Hai Xu, on the other hand, frowned, still wondering whether Xi Yu's rash intervention was a blessing or a curse.

Hai Ling looked at Guo Xiuxiu distressedly, sighed heavily, and said slowly: "Alas, you don't know something, my son-in-law has a few rare antiques hidden in his house, which can be regarded as treasures left by our ancestors. Who would have thought that when my son-in-law leaves, Those people in his family had bad intentions. Not only did they occupy the house, but they also insisted on taking all the antiques as their own. They actually made up some ridiculous reason that "if the husband dies, the woman must return to her parents' home." Shengdi drove Xiuxiu out."

Speaking of this, Hai Ling's eyes turned red, full of helplessness and resentment.

Guo Xiuxiu cried even more sadly, and her aggrieved look made people feel really sad.

When Xi Yu heard this, he immediately slapped the table and stood up. His face turned red and he said angrily: "This is simply unreasonable! There is nothing so unreasonable in this world. The deceased's remains should be inherited by Miss Xiuxiu. They robbed her like this. , This is really too much! Sister-in-law, Miss Xiuxiu, don’t worry, I will take care of this matter. I will make them return everything that belongs to Miss Xiuxiu and give you justice.”

Hai Xu looked worried at the side. Although he hoped to seek justice in his heart, he was worried that Xi Yu's move would cause more trouble. After all, the son-in-law's family was quite powerful in the village. He hesitated and said: " Brother Yu, we are grateful for your kindness, but that family is difficult to deal with, so we have to think about it in the long term. "

Seeing that Hai Xu and Hai Ling were still worried, Xi Yu said with a firm expression: "Sister-in-law, Miss Xiuxiu, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly. In this world, evil people cannot succeed. ”

After saying that, he turned to look at Haixu, "Brother Haixu, please take me to Miss Xiuxiu's husband's house after dinner. Let's go and explore the situation first."

Hai Xu thought for a while, although he was a little uneasy about this trip, but seeing Xi Yu's determination and thinking that this might be a good opportunity to seek justice for his cousin, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, Brother Yu, since you I've made up my mind, so I'll accompany you on this trip. But that family is really difficult, so we need to be careful."

After hearing this, Hai Ling and Xiu Xiu showed a look of gratitude and hope on their faces.

Hai Ling said softly: "Master, I leave this matter to you. Just be sure to pay attention to safety and don't hurt yourself because of us."

Xi Yu nodded slightly.

When Guo Xiuxiu heard that Xi Yu really wanted to seek justice for herself, she became very emotional, with tears in her eyes. When she got up, she knelt down towards Xi Yu and said with a tearful voice: "Young Master is so kind and virtuous, Xiu Xiu." I have nothing to repay. If it hadn’t been for the young master’s generous help, I would have kept this grievance in my heart forever and never been able to get ahead.”

Xi Yu hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support Guo Xiuxiu, and said sincerely: "Miss Xiuxiu, you must not be like this, get up quickly. I haven't finished this matter yet. When I really get what belongs to you, It’s not too late to thank you for getting everything back and letting those evildoers be punished. I really deserve it now.”

Guo Xiuxiu was supported by Xi Yu, but she still couldn't stop choking and said with sobs: "Young master can have this intention and be willing to stand up for a lonely person like me. It is already a great kindness. No matter whether it succeeds or not, Xiu Xiu Xiudu will remember it.”

Hailing was also wiping her tears and advising: "Xiuxiu, listen to the young master and get up quickly. The young master is so enthusiastic, so we hope for a good result."

Guo Xiuxiu slowly stood up straight, and looked at Xi Yu with eyes full of gratitude and expectation, as if all her hopes were pinned on Xi Yu.

Haixu hesitated for a moment, then asked Xi Yu with a hint of worry: "Brother Yu, you are in a hurry. If we go to deal with this matter, it won't delay your original business, right?"

Xi Yu waved his hand and responded calmly: "Brother Haixu, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry. At this moment, it's more important to help you get justice."

After a while, everyone finished their food.

Haixu stood up, winked at Xiyu, and said, "Brother Yu, let's go now."

Xi Yu nodded, then turned to Hai Ling and her daughter and said, "Sister-in-law, Miss Xiuxiu, you can just wait at home. Brother Haixu and I will be back soon."

Then, he looked at Haixu and added: "Brother Haixu, please leave my horse here for now. I will ride away after the matter is finished to avoid the inconvenience of taking the horse with me."

Haixu responded: "Okay, Brother Yu has thought carefully, let's set off now."

After saying that, the two of them stepped out of the house and walked towards Guo Xiuxiu's husband's house.

The two of them followed the winding path, climbed over a hill, and entered another village.

Hai Xu led the way, with hurried steps and a look of determination. Not long after, he led Xi Yu to the door of a house.

Seeing that the door of the house was open, Haixu didn't hesitate, walked straight in and told Xi Yu softly: "Brother Yu, this is my cousin's husband's family, surnamed Wang."

At this time, there was an old man sitting on a bamboo chair in the yard basking in the sun. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyes to look at Hai Xu and Xi Yu, and asked loudly: "Who are you? Why are you coming to my house?"

Hai Xu took a deep breath, took a step forward, and said loudly: "I am Guo Xiuxiu's cousin, and I am here today to seek justice for my cousin! Your Wang family has done this to seize property and drive away my cousin. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

As soon as the old man heard this, his face instantly darkened. He stood up from his chair, pointed at the door angrily and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense here! How can you, an outsider, interfere in the affairs of our Wang family?" ? Get out of here! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Xi Yu stood aside, observing the old man's expression and reaction calmly, thinking to himself: The old man is so excited, maybe there is something wrong in his heart. It seems that this matter is not that simple.

He glanced at Haixu, shook his head slightly to signal him not to be impulsive, then stepped forward, bowed his hands to the old man, and said softly: "Old man, please don't be angry. We came here today just to get things done. Be clear, after all, this is related to Miss Xiuxiu’s vital interests, I hope you can give me an explanation.”

But the old man didn't accept this at all. He glared at them with an angry face and kept shouting at them to leave. The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became tense.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He looked directly at the old man and asked, "Old man, who are you? Why do you act so arrogantly? Even if you are a relative, you must be reasonable."

The old man crossed his arms and snorted with disdain: "Hmph! That girl Guo Xiuxiu's husband is my nephew, and I am his uncle. Now that my nephew is gone, everything he leaves behind will naturally belong to our Wang family. Is there any reason for someone with a foreign surname to inherit? This is our Wang family’s family matter, so don’t interfere here!”

Xi Yu sneered and said: "Old man, I'm afraid this doesn't make sense. Not to mention that Miss Xiuxiu and your nephew are husband and wife, and they should inherit part of the inheritance. Just say that you forcefully occupied Miss Xiuxiu and kicked Miss Xiuxiu out. It's just out of love. It's untenable. Is there still Wang Fa in this world? Aren't you afraid that this matter will be spread and the reputation of the Wang family will be ruined?"

When the old man heard this, he felt as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot. His face went white and red, but he still managed to maintain his dignity and shouted loudly: "Don't scare me with your royal methods! I think you are just a nosy person." Outsiders, get out of here! Otherwise I’ll have you beaten out!”

Hai Xu, who was aside, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He took a step forward and said angrily: "You old man, you are so unreasonable! If you don't hand over what belongs to Xiu Xiu today, we will never give up!"

Seeing this, Xi Yu quickly reached out to stop Haixu, telling him not to be impulsive.

At this time, the surrounding neighbors heard the noise in the yard and rushed over.

They didn't know what was going on, but when they heard that it was about the Wang family's nephew's inheritance, they all agreed to support Old Man Wang and shouted at Xi Yu and Haixu: "You two outsiders are fooling around here. What? Go quickly and don’t cause trouble here!”

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

That is, it is your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Wang family! "

Xi Yu looked at these neighbors who followed the trend blindly without knowing the truth, and his anger rose all of a sudden.

His eyes widened, his face flushed, and he loudly accused: "How can you be so unreasonable? You protect this old man without knowing right from wrong. We just come to seek justice for Miss Xiuxiu, but you are so indiscriminate. Is there no justice in this world?"

However, his anger did not shake these neighbors, but instead attracted more accusations and expulsions.

Hai Xu was also furious.

Xi Yu suppressed his anger and raised his voice, saying, "According to the rules, since Guo Xiuxiu's husband has passed away, the family property should naturally be inherited by Xiuxiu. Why are you forcibly occupying it like this?"

Old man Wang sneered disdainfully and said with a curled mouth, "She failed to give birth to a child for my Wang family. How can she take away the wealth left behind? It must stay in our Wang family! If we give it all to her and she turns around and takes it back to her parents' home, won't our Wang family be left with nothing? If this gets out, how can our Wang family survive in the village?"

The surrounding villagers listened to what Old Man Wang said and nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right. Since ancient times, how can a woman inherit the property of her husband's family?" "In this matter, Old Man Wang did nothing wrong. We can't let outsiders take away the Wang family's things."

Xi Yu looked at these ignorant and selfish villagers, feeling angry and helpless.

He knew that in the minds of these people, the old customs and habits of feudal ethics were deeply rooted, and it was not easy to easily convince them.

But he also understood that the more this situation happened, the more he could not back down, and he must seek justice for Guo Xiuxiu.

So, he looked around at everyone and said firmly: "You keep talking about rules, but is this seizing other people's property what you call rules? So what if there is no son? Xiuxiu and her husband are husband and wife, and they have the right to inherit. If you don't hand over Xiuxiu's things today, I will definitely report to the government and let the government judge this!"

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Wang's face changed slightly, but soon returned to his arrogant look. He snorted coldly and said: "Go ahead and report. I want to see if the government will pay attention to the affairs of outsiders like you!"

Xi Yu sneered. Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and whispered a few words to Hai Xu, and Hai Xu left in a hurry.

Seeing this, the crowd was somewhat puzzled, but relying on their numbers, they did not take Xi Yu's actions seriously, and continued to point fingers at him, muttering dirty words.

Soon, several yamen runners in official uniforms hurried over.

It turned out that Xi Yu had anticipated that such a situation might occur before he came here, and had contacted the local government in advance and reported Guo Xiuxiu's situation. The government attached great importance to such civil disputes, and upon hearing about this, they immediately sent yamen runners to check.

When Old Man Wang and the villagers saw that the yamen runners really came, they were a little flustered, but they still pretended to be calm.

The chief of the yamen runners stepped forward, looked around with a dignified look, and asked loudly: "Who is Old Man Wang? Someone sued you for seizing other people's property. Is this true?"

Old Man Wang was so scared that his legs went weak, but he still argued: "Sir, this is our Wang family's family affair. Guo Xiuxiu didn't leave any descendants for the Wang family, so how could she take away the property? This is against the rules!"

The chief of the yamen runners frowned and turned to look at Xi Yu. Xi Yu stepped forward and explained the situation of Guo Xiuxiu and her husband and the local laws on property inheritance in detail, with reason and evidence, and clear order.

After listening to it, the villagers looked at each other and began to realize their ignorance.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Old Man Wang wanted to argue again, but the chief of the yamen runners interrupted him impatiently: "Humph, ignorant and unruly people, how can you be so unreasonable in front of the law!"

At the order of the chief of the yamen runners, the yamen runners stepped forward and controlled Old Man Wang and several villagers who led the riot.

Old man Wang was really panicked and began to beg, but it was all in vain.

Faced with Xiyu's insistence and evidence, the yamen runners checked the property of Guo Xiuxiu's husband's family, counted out the part that belonged to Guo Xiuxiu one by one, and returned the property to the original owner.

The yamen runners gave Old Man Wang a serious education, explained to him in detail the seriousness of the law and the inappropriateness of his behavior, and warned him that if he committed the same crime again, he would be severely punished.

Old man Wang stood there, lowered his head, his face turned pale and red, and he was very unhappy. He felt that he had lost face in front of the villagers, but he didn't dare to say anything when he saw the shining sword on the waist of the yamen runner.

After the yamen runners and Xiyu and others left, Old Man Wang spat fiercely on the ground, muttering: "This damn outsider, meddling in my business, ruining my good things! I'll remember this account!"

Xiyu and Haixu returned to Hailing's house and told everyone what had happened.

When Guo Xiuxiu heard that the property had been taken back, her eyes instantly turned red.

She bowed gracefully and said in a trembling voice: "My benefactor helped me out of righteousness, and I have no way to repay him. If it weren't for your hard work, I'm afraid I would be bullied by that evil man and would never be able to turn over. This great favor is like a rebirth. I wish you a smooth, peaceful and happy life."

Xi Yu hurriedly helped Guo Xiuxiu up and said in a gentle voice: "Miss, there is no need to do this. This is just a simple task. It is my job to seek justice for you. Now that the property is yours, you can go back to your husband's home and live a peaceful life."

After that, he turned his head to look at Hai Xu, with a trace of relief in his eyes, "The matter here is over, and I should set off." (End of this chapter)
