Chapter 16 Whoever Marries Home Is Unlucky

Li Qingyou wanted to cry but she didn't have any tears, but even if she could shout, she wouldn't shout because she hasn't lived enough yet.

No one noticed that there was someone outside the crowd who had wanted to step forward but silently retracted his foot and looked towards the yard with complicated eyes.

Li Qingyou suddenly looked over as if she was sensing something, but she only saw a crowd of people. She thought maybe she was dazzled.

Uncle Liu no longer wanted to be a clown and let people watch, so he winked at the two nephews he brought. It was difficult for the two men to do anything in front of so many people, but they couldn't disobey their elders, so they separated and blocked Li Qingyou's entrance.

retreat.

This way it would be much easier for the two women to catch her.

Adi was hiding behind the door, scratching his head and head anxiously, clutching the lotus stick tightly, but he didn't dare to press the button, especially as more and more people gathered outside, he couldn't act rashly.

Seeing that Li Qingyou had no choice but to advance or retreat, Adi was extremely anxious. He wanted to get Sister Qingyou caught as soon as possible, so that when they came in, he would knock them down one by one.

I was also afraid that they would hurt Sister Qingyou.

The onlookers were all staring at the yard, waiting for the cousin to appear. There were even a few unmarried girls who specially dressed up and came, thinking that if they were chosen by a noble man, they might be able to get married.

Just enjoy the glory and wealth.

Li Qingyou suddenly paused in the expectant gaze of everyone, turned around and raised his hand, "If you come here again, I will tear it apart."

Looking carefully, she found a piece of paper in her hand. Not many people were literate these days, but some people recognized that the paper was stamped with an official seal.

"Wait a minute." Uncle Liu hurriedly stopped the two women. He recognized at a glance that what Li Qingyou was holding was the land deed.

His cousin Li Qiping had six acres of high-quality land, which he bought with the money he saved from working outside in the early years. Since there was no money from the clan, these lands were Li Qiping's private property.

Of course it's time to return to the clan now.

It is precisely for this reason that the Li family appears here again and again. In addition to the land deed, there are also house deeds and everything in the yard, including Li Qingyou.

"Give me what you have in your hand." Uncle Liu stared at Li Qingyou closely, fearing that she would tear it apart if she got anxious. "If you have anything to say, Uncle Liu will not treat you badly."

Li Qingyou sneered, "There's nothing to say. This is what my parents left to me. I won't give it to anyone. If you dare to snatch it from me, it will be yours. At worst, no one will want it."

Uncle Liu's brows were knitted into knots. He wanted both property and people, and the second son was still thinking about this girl.

And now he was almost certain that the cousin was not there, otherwise it would have been impossible not to make such a big noise.

Thinking about it, I heard from my son that the man was dressed extremely richly. What kind of woman would such a noble man want? How could he fall in love with a girl from a small family?

Why not take him back first and raise him for two years? If the cousin comes by then, ask him for a large sum of money as a gift.

If he doesn't come, then he will be his second son's wife.

With this plan in his mind, Liu Bo suddenly became friendly.

"Girl Qingyou, Uncle Liu is thinking about you. How can you, a girl, live without the support of your family?"

"When the time comes, I won't have time to cry after suffering a loss..."

"Be obedient and go back with Uncle Liu. It's better than staying here alone guarding an empty house. No one dares to bully you."

The word bear here is a native dialect, which means bullying.

No matter how eloquent he was, Li Qingyou remained unmoved. She would only believe him if she was kicked in the head by a donkey.

Liu Bo talked for a long time and ran out of patience, "Girl, you don't know what is good and what is good. Today you have to go or not. Even if you go to the Yamen, this will belong to our Li family."

The county magistrate has nothing to do with the matter."

This is true to a certain extent. In some large clans, the words of the clan leader are authoritative. Even if someone is killed, you only need to report it to the government.

After all, family members don't investigate the internal affairs of the family, so the government naturally doesn't bother to care.

It was precisely because Li Qingyou knew this that she refused to go to Li's house, even if it was just for a walk. She was afraid that she would not be able to come back.

"It's really funny. Could it be that the Li family's family rules are greater than the national laws?" Li Qingyou sneered and deliberately said loudly to the crowd.

Those who have good faith also responded, "Don't think about it, the current Holy One's surname is not Li."

The word "haoxin'er" here is a dialect, which means that you like to show off your strength and stand out.

People started laughing.

Liu Bo's old face with crisscrossed grooves alternated between blue and red. He stared at Li Qingyou, secretly weighing the feasibility of taking the person away by force.

Li Qingyou thought the same as him.

But she knew in her heart that even though there were so many people, no one could really help her, just like the last time the Li brothers came.

Uncle Liu is the father of the two brothers. It is the nature of father and son. When the time comes and he really takes action, she will be the only one who suffers.

Li Qingyou decided to take the initiative.

"Since none of us can convince anyone, we might as well go to the Yamen and ask the county magistrate to make a decision." Li Qingyou said loudly.

Someone in the crowd gasped, and the common people were afraid of seeing officials. Many times they would not go to the government if they could solve the problem in private, especially if a girl entered the yamen because her reputation would be damaged.

Although Li Qingyou doesn't have much reputation now.

But some people still think she is too courageous.

Uncle Liu frowned. He was not too afraid to meet an official. The head of the Li family was a scholar, so he did not have to kneel before an official. He had also met the county magistrate once, so he was able to talk to him.

But if the clan leader is found, then Li Qingyou's family property and herself will have the final say with the clan leader, and she is a little unwilling to do so.

Now that things have come to this, Liu Bo gritted his teeth and agreed, what else could she do?

Even if you are meeting an official, this is still an internal matter within the Li family. Isn’t it said that it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs?

The sixth uncle is the elder in the Li family, so of course others will have no objection if he goes.

When everyone onlookers heard that they were going to the Yamen, they all felt as if they had been given a shot of blood. There was a lot of excitement to be seen again.

Li Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief. She would never end well if she went to Li's house. Now her only hope is the county magistrate. She looked in the direction of the Yamen and prayed silently: "County magistrate, you must do your best."

The county magistrate is sitting in the backyard drinking tea with his legs crossed. He is thinking that his term will be up next year and he wonders if he can be transferred to a more affluent place. The calligraphy and paintings he asked Mr. Shen to send to his teacher last time are also missing.

I don't know if it was delivered or not.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard that Li Qingyou had come to complain. The county magistrate's brows knitted into knots, "A woman with so many things is unworthy of being a woman."

With so many things going on, whoever gets married will be unlucky.

The county magistrate's words spread out for no reason, adding another layer to Li Qingyou's "good" reputation. This is something to talk about later, let's talk about it first.

No matter how troublesome it is, the case should still be tried. After listening to the statements from both sides, the county magistrate felt that what Liu Bo said was reasonable.
