Chapter 218 is a wall
Xu immediately understood what Shen Jizu meant and knelt down before Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou.
"Lin Ting, Qingzhou, that's your uncle. Breaking bones is like breaking tendons. You can't just watch your uncle get beaten to death by the villagers.
Besides, all your things are here, nothing is missing, I can wash these clothes for you.
Please, please tell me, my husband is not a thief, and neither are they. We are relatives, so is it not okay for relatives to visit us?"
Xu was still trying to find a way out for Shen Jizu. As long as Lin Ting denied that they were not thieves, the villagers would have no way to deal with Shen Jizu.
Lin Ting originally wanted to withdraw from the world and have nothing to do with the old Shen family, but the tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop.
"Visiting? I've never seen any relative climb over the wall with a ladder in the middle of the night to visit. This isn't visiting, it's climbing over the wall, right?"
Lin Ting didn't tolerate her. If there was a first time, there would be a second time. This time, she wanted to see how the Shen family would end up.
"Lin Ting, you can't say that. Even if Ji Zu and the others had bad intentions, they didn't succeed, right?
This is really the only time he can do it, everyone please let him go, he won’t dare to do it again, woo woo…”
At this moment, no one dared to stand up for Shen Jizu, as he had already been judged as a thief in Wushan Village.
"That's all right, Shen Jizu. As the head of Wushan Village, we cannot tolerate a thief living here.
If you don't want to be beaten to death, compensate the villagers for all the things that have been lost in Wushan Village in recent years, and leave Wushan Village with your whole family."
Shen Jizu's eyes widened in horror. How could this be possible? He couldn't leave Wushan Village. If he left, where would he settle down?
Moreover, he had to take the imperial examination. The imperial examination was very strict and required confirmation of his household registration. If he was kicked out, what would he do in the future?
"Village Chief, it was really a misunderstanding tonight. Everything I said was true, and I didn't steal anything from the villagers."
Looking at Shen Jizu's crying and sobbing, he doesn't look like a scholar at all.
"Shen Jizu, you'd better tell me what you did tonight. Besides stealing things from Qingzhou's family, whose else did you steal from?"
Shen Jizu shook his head like a rattle.
"No, I only went to Shen Qingzhou's house. I was forced to do that by Shen Rou. She forced me to ask for money for medical treatment.
I had no choice but to do this. Village chief, I am willing to compensate the villagers and return all the things that were stolen from them, but please don't drive me out of Wushan Village..."
As he was talking, Shen Jizu also told how he and Shen Rou knocked Shen's mother unconscious, as well as the entire process of the theft.
In order to get money, Shen Jizu was willing to hurt his own mother. His behavior made the villagers feel ashamed.
The villagers did not ask Lin Ting's opinion, they just felt that Shen Jizu was too hateful.
They all asked him to compensate them for the things they had lost over the years, as a lesson to him, to scare others so that no one would dare to steal things in the future.
Finally, Shen Jizu yelled at Xu: "What are you still doing there? Go and get my land deed to the village chief."
In the end, the villagers took away Shen Jizu's one acre of land, which was almost enough to compensate for the things that had been stolen from everyone over the years.
Everyone was kind and honest. No one raised the price or deliberately asked him for more money to buy other things. They just took whatever was lost.
Shen Jizu begged hard, and everyone took his things before they reluctantly allowed Shen Jizu to stay in Wushan Village.
When the man was lowered from the old locust tree, it was already daybreak. Lin Ting hadn't slept well all night and was just about to go back for some sleep.
But the matter at the end of the village seemed not to be over yet. As soon as the villagers left, people from the Lu family arrived.
Lu Cailiang rode a horse, and several thugs behind him came towards the end of the village, with disdainful and fierce eyes.
"Father-in-law, is it easy for Xiaoxu to find me?"
When Shen Jizu saw Lu Cailiang, he felt like he had seen a savior and reached out to him.
"Xianxu, you've come just in time. Hurry, take Rou'er and me to the county to see a doctor. My bones are almost broken."
A pair of bloody hands stretched out, with marks of being tied by ropes on the wrists. As soon as they stretched out, Lu Cailiang dodged to the side.
"What did father-in-law do? Tell me about it."
The playful tone, the lack of concern, and his sneering face made Shen Jizu feel scared.
"Nothing... nothing, Rou'er and I were accidentally injured. Don't ask about anything else."
Shen Jizu couldn't bring himself to say how embarrassing it was that he was mistaken for a thief.
"Hmph! Just take care of your injuries. I'm here to take my beloved wife home, so I won't say any more to my father-in-law."
After saying that, Lu Cailiang walked to Shen Rou, asked a few people to lift her onto his horse, and then he carried Shen Rou on his back and whipped her away.
Xu helped Shen Jizu up: "This, this son-in-law won't do anything to Rouer, right?"
"Husband and wife, what can he do to Shen Rou? We just need to take care of ourselves."
Lin Ting saw the whole process, which was so boring. She and Shen Qingzhou took Shen Wanyi home to sleep.
As for the mess in Shen Dali's room, he would clean it up himself.
While Lin Ting and his family of three were sleeping soundly, the situation outside was like the sky was falling.
Shen's mother woke up this morning, and as soon as she woke up, Liu told her what happened outside.
"Aunt, this is what happened. Big brother and Shen Rou poisoned you personally, and he even admitted it himself..."
As the second daughter-in-law who holds a mediocre status in Shen's mother's heart, Liu Shiying quickly tells the truth before Shen Jizu returns.
Maybe after my aunt dies, I can give the two acres of land under her name to Brother Shen Zu. That would be a good thing.
"You're talking nonsense..."
Mother Shen was furious. She couldn't believe that Shen Jizu would treat her like this. Shen Jizu was her most filial child and her beloved eldest son. It was impossible for him to treat her like this.
Liu Shiying sneered: "Aunt, believe it or not, just look at your body and see if your eldest brother's family was caught by the villagers as thieves and had to pay the land deeds to the villagers as compensation, so they were not driven out of Wushan Village."
Liu Shiying felt that it was too much to say, and it would be better for Shen's mother to see for herself and see that she almost died this time.
Mother Shen's heart tightened, and she suddenly felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat. She spat out a mouthful of old blood and her body was so sore that she couldn't stand up.
Afterwards, Shen Jizu was helped back home by Xu, with wounds all over his body. Now he knew without asking any more questions that what Liu Shiying said was true.
"Jizu...you...you..."
After saying this, Shen's mother vomited blood and didn't even have the strength to speak. This time, she was really sick.
"Mom, don't be angry. I did this for the good of our family. I had no choice. Otherwise, if Shen Rou doesn't return to the Lu family, we will have to live a hard life again.
Mother, although I tricked you into drinking poison this time, it was all for this family. I think you also want this family to be better, don’t you? "
