The head of the Mu family

Chapter 43 Don't test people's hearts, it will only chill their hearts.

Alas! This scheme is actually a honey trap, a self-inflicted injury ploy!

The group of people carried the small coffin noisily and arrived at Wu Ya's courtyard at dawn.

Many villagers have come along the way after hearing the commotion.

When they arrived at the door, they called out to Wuya's family, who were having breakfast.

Even Wu Ya's grandparents, her eldest uncle's family, and her second uncle's family came.

After the people came out, one of the fierce-looking thugs grabbed Wu Ya and threw her directly into the yard.

He roared in a harsh voice:

"Is this little bastard yours?"

Wu Ya's parents were taken aback by the sight of this scene.

Wu Ya's mother wanted to identify the person, but Wu Ya's father stopped her and quickly hid Bao Zhu behind his back.

The other four girls were already a little terrified.

Da Mao and Er Mao came to their senses and were about to speak when Wu Ya's father gave them a sharp look, scaring them into silence.

Then they lifted the coffin lid and put on 'corpse' makeup for the perfectly healthy child.

When illuminated by the rather cold morning light, it is indeed quite eerie.

When Wu Ya's family saw this, they all shuddered involuntarily.

Then I looked at Wuya, who was barely recognizable as human. Her face was swollen with blood bars and she could no longer speak.

The four girls were stunned for a moment, then rushed over and shouted:

"Wu Ya!"

"Oh~ it seems to be your little bastard!"

"Your little bastard killed my young master! You'd better pay for it!"

As he spoke, he took a bamboo stick and whipped Wuya hard.

The bamboo strips were the ones Uncle Liu and the others had discussed using before:

"Use bamboo strips instead. It's painful for adults and scary to watch, but it won't break any bones. It'll just make people suffer!"

Shen Huai was immediately grateful:

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Uncle Liu. This is already very good."

The family was startled again; someone nearby immediately pointed a stick at Wu Ya's parents.

“My young master is as precious as gold and jade, and your little brat is not skilled in medicine. He even treated my young master in order to make dirty money.”

result......

My poor young master!

Shen Huai's mouth was full of blood, and he was so swollen that he couldn't speak. He could only make 'woo woo' sounds as he struggled and cried.

The young masters' families, dressed in fine clothes, who alighted from the carriage, began to sob.

"Tell me! How do you intend to compensate me?"

As he spoke, he lashed out at Shen Huai with a bamboo stick, causing everyone to flinch again.

"Burn down that bastard's house first!"

I saw two more thatched huts outside, probably belonging to that little bastard's old man, and they were burned down too!

Beat their children to death too!

"And there's that boy behind him, he'd be worth our young master's life if he were killed!"

Wu Ya's grandfather shook his pipe and quickly pulled Wu Ya's father aside to whisper a few words to him.

"This girl is not, is not my child!"

You've got the wrong person!

Wu Ya's father mustered his courage and spoke loudly.

“My family does have a daughter named Wuya. She was kidnapped last year and died when we went to look for her.”

Fifth Master shook his pipe and said firmly.

"Yes, everyone in the village knows that they haven't seen my fifth daughter for over a year."

When we found her, she was already dead, dead.

Wu Ya's father continued.

Hearing their words, Shen Huai felt as if the bamboo sticks were whipping his body, causing both pain and numbness.

Do you think we're fools?

Those women all recognized that little bastard.

Wu Ya's father nudged Wu Ya's mother, and Wu Ya's mother spoke:

"They...they've made a mistake. This little girl isn't...she's not my child."

"As a mother, as a mother, don't I even recognize my own child?!"

"That's right, as parents, how could we not recognize our own children?"

Even if you kill her, it has nothing to do with us. She's not my child!

A few words made the 'young master's' family members weep even more.

The servants beside him began to whip Shen Huai with bamboo sticks.

They all shouted and asked at once:

"Are you from this place? Are you?"

Shen Huai was whipped so hard he rolled on the ground, nodding and whimpering.

Wu Ya's father vehemently denied it, while Wu Ya's mother tightly protected Bao Zhu, turning her face away because she couldn't bear to watch.

Wuya on the ground was whipped for a while longer.

Before losing consciousness, Shen Huai forcefully spit out the blood seeping from his mouth and completely passed out.

Da Mao rushed over, crying, and shielded Wu Ya beneath his entire body, saying between sobs:

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

She's Wuya! Yes, she is!

She is my younger sister, Wuya!

Please, please stop hitting them, Dad and Mom!

"She's my little sister, Wuya! Stop hitting her! Stop hitting her!"

The four maids knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the 'young master's' family.

Seeing this, Wu Ya's parents hurriedly protected Bao Zhu.

As soon as Wu Ya's grandparents whispered something, Wu Ya's grandfather immediately whispered something to Wu Ya's parents.

Shen Huai calmed down a bit and looked at Da Mao, who was protecting him so tightly, and felt a warmth return to his heart.

"I can't tell if this is a woman from my family."

That's right, it has nothing to do with my family. My family severed ties with her a long time ago.

"You despicable family! Women have killed people, and your parents' words are contradictory!"

With this little bastard, sometimes they're involved, sometimes they're not. Who knows what's really going on?

"Drag that boy out too and beat him up! He'll pay for our young master's life!"

The people behind immediately grabbed sticks and tried to grab Baozhu.

It's true! It's true!

"Wait a moment, my father and I will go get the documents."

He then turned to leave with Baozhu.

"This boy isn't allowed to leave!"

Who knows if you lowly people are lying to us!

Grandpa Wuya gave Grandpa Wuya a wink and pulled him outside.

A moment later, he rushed over with a letter of severance.

The ink wasn't even dry, and the handprint was made right after biting a finger and pressing it down. The village chief, with a dark expression, was following behind.

When the village chief arrived, he saw Da Mao protecting Wu Ya and the three girls kowtowing beside him.

Seeing that Wuya was no longer human, he couldn't bear it any longer and quickly scolded her:

"I am the village chief here. Stop fighting and explain yourself!"

When the burly man saw that a village head had arrived, he immediately told him to stop.

Da Mao quickly sat up despite the pain and leaned Wu Ya, who looked like she was about to collapse, against himself.

"Are you kidding me?!"

The document severing ties between parents and children needs to be stamped by the county magistrate!

Keep hitting him! Drag that boy over and beat him to death too!

"Village chief! Please! Tell them this letter of severance is real!"

Wu Ya's father immediately knelt down before the village head, and Wu Ya's mother also immediately knelt down on the spot.

"Wait! The document is genuine, but the lack of a stamp is because it's not easy for us to go to the county!"

We can go to the county magistrate to verify that the document is genuine.

"We don't care!"

"I don't see it up there, drag it over and kill it!"

Wu Ya Niang held Bao Zhu tightly and cried out:

No! No!

"Kill me! Kill me!"

Shen Huai: There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart!

Good! It's better to cut ties cleanly!

"We need to go to the county magistrate to get the facts straight!"

Your family can't bully others just because you're powerful. There are just as many people in our village!

Now take the documents and go to the county magistrate to have your case heard!

The burly man leading the group looked around at the growing crowd and had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Wu Ya's family, the village chief, and Wu Ya's grandfather went together.

"The young master's family had the people from Fangmu Village sit on the large carriage carrying the coffin, and they deliberately opened the coffin lid."

It was the first time in their lives that Wu Ya's family had ridden in a horse-drawn carriage, and they didn't appreciate its superiority at all.

At noon, the burly man who was in charge gave the village chief a steamed bun, but didn't even glance at the others!

The carriage was fast; it set off early in the morning and arrived at the county government office by late afternoon. The magistrate immediately beat the drum to appeal for justice, and the magistrate took the stage.

On the way, Uncle Liu found an opportunity to tell Shen Huai that he was a little surprised to see the official.

But don't worry, he's familiar with these things, he just needs to act according to the situation!

After the court session began, the official inquired about the situation, and Wu Ya's family immediately brought up the matter of the severance agreement.

This kind of thing was very common in those days; generally, very few people would go to the county government office specifically to get a stamp.

Transportation is so inconvenient; all we need to do is have our parents put their fingerprints on it, and whoever is bothered can just come and get a replacement.

The magistrate immediately had his clerk stamp the document and make a supplementary copy, and also had Wu Ya's parents sign and stamp it for filing.

The burly man, holding the first letter of severance, said the county magistrate was unjust.

The county magistrate was a little angry, but when he saw the child lying in the coffin, he patiently explained:

"It's been like this for so many years. Even if we take this letter of severance to Yedu, it will still be valid."

Baozhu's parents and grandfather were nervously protecting him, but upon hearing this, their faces lit up with joy, while the four maids all hung their heads in dejection.

"Your Honor, since the clerk has stated his position, we will not dwell on it. Instead, we will explain the situation to you so that you can discuss it further..."

After finishing explaining the matter, he continued:

"Your Honor, tell me, is this family acting in a completely upside-down manner?"

The magistrate can interrogate the four women in his household.

Although there was a document, and the document was new, all four women in her family believed in this quack doctor who was causing harm.

This is how we are today...

When the big man spoke, he only said that he was going to the door to ask for an explanation.

The tall, imposing man spoke with tears streaming down his face.

It was also said that his young master was intelligent and kind from a young age, and that his master and mistress were charitable.

It was only after seeing this little girl that she said she was the only one in her family who could earn money to support them, and that she had been shown to many people before, that she was allowed to show it to the young master.

Seeing that the perfectly healthy young master was gone, the official slammed his gavel and asked:

Is this true?

Baozhu's family was startled. Baozhu's grandfather quickly denied it, but repeated the story as he had told them in the pastoral village.

The county magistrate then asked the village head, who simply said that he really didn't know anything about the matter.

The county magistrate asked the four girls, who quickly confirmed that they were indeed his sisters.

The county magistrate then asked Wu Ya's father and grandfather. Wu Ya's father and grandfather exchanged a glance, and Wu Ya's grandfather nodded to Wu Ya's father. Wu Ya's father swallowed and said:

"Da Mao, did you guys make a mistake?"

Wuya has already verbally severed ties with us!

Once she made money, she felt powerful and cut ties with her family!

The four girls exchanged glances, a chill running through their eyes. Suddenly, Da Mao straightened up and said despairingly:

"I'm not mistaken, and neither are my sisters!"

The three girls hesitated for a moment, then said:

"We haven't misremembered!"

"Your Honor, the Upright Official!"

Baozhu's father kowtowed and said:

“These four girls have been bribed by outsiders. Our family no longer wants to raise these ungrateful wretches, and we must sever ties with them!”

"Baozhu's father!"

"father!"

"You can't even remember such a big thing that happened in your family, you're all ungrateful wretches!"

"Magistrate, please issue us the necessary documents!"
