Chapter 17 Zhang Tieniu

Hearing the approval expressed in the county magistrate's words, Uncle Liu was overjoyed. It was precisely because of this that he dared to come to the lobby.

Li Qingyou was very frightened. She came to the Yamen to seek help, not to fill in the chips for the other party. She hurriedly discounted her price and told him that the sixth uncle was the biological father of the Li brothers.

"The Li family is like wolves and tigers, and the Li family is even more like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. A single orphaned girl would not dare to be implicated." Li Qingyou said every word carefully, without leaving any emotion. "It's ridiculous to say that it's a friendship between the same clan, but it's just

It's just a crime for a common girl to have a jade. If it weren't for the family property left by her parents, how would the Li family remember the common girl?"

Liu Bo's face alternated between blue and red. Even if this was the case, but someone said it so bluntly, and in front of the county magistrate, his old face couldn't bear it.

"Nonsense..." Uncle Liu wanted to argue, but the county magistrate raised his hand to stop him.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Li Qingyou and nodded. This girl may have a lot of things to do, but she has a clear mind, and what she said is true.

"It's not easy for you to be an orphan and establish a household by yourself. But you don't want to go to his house. There are many people in the Li family. I wonder if you know anyone. It's okay if that family is willing to give you a place." The county magistrate said.

He also sympathizes with Li Qingyou, even if he doesn't like this troubled woman.

And it is not a problem for a woman to live alone. There are many disputes in front of a widow, let alone an unmarried girl?

To avoid trouble in the future, it would be best to arrange a safe home for her.

"A common girl has no acquaintances and doesn't want to live under anyone else's care. She still hopes that you will fulfill her wishes." Li Qingyou bowed her head again.

The county magistrate frowned tightly, and just as he was about to say more, Uncle Liu snorted coldly, "It's better to live under someone else's roof than to ruin the family tradition. If you, a single woman, do something that disgrace the Li family, please don't implicate me."

The Li family is in disgrace?"

Now that things have happened, he doesn't expect Li Qingyou to go back with him, but he doesn't want to monopolize the property in her hands. Even if it can't be returned to him, it must be returned to the Li clan.

What Liu Bo said was very unpleasant.

Li Qingyou was not a master who could suffer losses, so she immediately fought back, "It's not my turn to ruin the family tradition of the Li family. I heard a few days ago that Widow Qi from Shanlitun was pregnant, and Aunt Six went to make a big fuss.

There are widows who abandon their property and have no children, and no one knows about this."

The father and son of the Li family are of the same blood. Even though the sixth uncle is in his early fifties, he is not a peaceful person at all. For some reason, he hooked up with Widow Qi from Shanlitun and got married.

The sixth aunt is also a shrewd one. Either she doesn't belong to the same family, and Li's bald daughter-in-law just follows her mother-in-law.

Two months ago, Aunt Six took her daughter-in-law and niece-in-law to the Widow Qi's house and gave her a good beating. The matter became a big deal, and Uncle Six spent a lot of money to settle the matter.

At that time, Old Man Li was very angry when he heard about it and said that his cousin was not a serious person at his age.

The sixth uncle was exposed, his face was green and red, his teeth were itching with hatred, and he was about to fight back, when the county magistrate slapped the gavel.

"Don't talk nonsense in court." The county magistrate glanced at Li Qingyou angrily. Seeing that the two people in the hall did not dare to speak, he continued: "It is not appropriate for a woman like you to live alone. If there is no one to take care of you,

I’m afraid something will inevitably happen in the future…”

While he was talking, someone stood up from the hall and knelt down in front of Li Qingyou, "Sir, Beizhi and the Li family's sisters are close neighbors. In the past, Uncle Li and Aunt Li had a close relationship with Beizhi's parents. Beizhi's family can take care of them."

Li Qingyou was startled, turned his head when he heard the familiar voice, and looked at the sturdy young man kneeling next to him in shock. Isn't this Zhang Tieniu? He went out on errands years ago, but he didn't expect to come back today.

It's just the right time to come back.

The acquaintances were extremely close to each other, but due to the wrong situation, Li Qingyou could only endure the words.

The county magistrate looked at Zhang Tieniu, who was staring at Zhang Tieniu with his head on the ground, and his expression softened a bit.

Zhang Tieniu's father, Zhang Da, was originally a policeman in the yamen. More than a year ago, the county cooperated with soldiers sent by the court to suppress bandits on the mountain. Zhang Da took the lead and led people to take the path up the mountain.

The bandits were so tough that Zhang was seriously injured and his leg was broken. From then on, he could no longer work in the government office.

Zhang Da was disabled on duty, and the compensation provided by the court was only a drop in the bucket. He thought of the Zhang family's difficulties, so he asked his fifteen-year-old son to take over his father's duties.

Looking at the two people in the hall, they are about the same age. It would be a great thing if they could become a couple, so I agreed immediately.

"Sir..." Liu Bo wanted to say something else, but the county magistrate had already retreated to the second hall, and a Yamen servant came and kicked him out of the Yamen.

Compared to Liu Bo's embarrassment, Li Qingyou was surprised and happy. This meant that from now on she no longer had to be afraid of the Li family. After all, no matter how powerful the family law was, could it still defeat the national law?

"Brother Tieniu." Li Qingyou called Zhang Tieniu several times, but he didn't respond. She thought he didn't hear him, so she ran a few steps to amplify her voice and came behind him, "What's wrong with you?"

Looking at Zhang Tieniu's dusty body and tired look on his face, I thought he was tired from running errands.

"The errands are hard to handle?" Otherwise, why did it take so long to come back? I haven't been at home for years.

Zhang Tieniu's eyes flickered and he looked away, then he answered with a hum.

Li Qingyou just thought he was tired and asked him to go home and rest quickly. In the past, he had to rest for three to five days after returning from business, and this time was probably no exception.

"No, it's okay. I still have something to do at the Yamen. I'll come back later." Zhang Tieniu hesitated, looking around but not at her.

Li Qingyou didn't know what was going on with him, and he was thinking about his brother again, so he nodded, "Then don't be too tired. My uncle and aunt are still thinking about you at home, so I will go back first."

After that, she said hello to two familiar government officials. This was thanks to Zhang Tieniu. She was also familiar with several people who were close to him.

But when saying goodbye to them, the people who usually said a few words to her now showed disdain, snorted and left.

Li Qingyou, "..."

What does this mean?

Zhang Tieniu looked at Li Qingyou's back and opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he said nothing and stomped into the next room.

The two government officials inside were familiar with him. Seeing him drooping his head and looking downcast, they felt sorry for him.

"Brother, why should a man worry about not having a wife? What else would a woman like Qin Mu Chu want from her?"

"No, brother, with your appearance and body, you are worthy of a landowner's daughter. Why do you want that girl to do it?"

Li Qingyou seemed fine in the past, but the recent incidents have caused a lot of uproar. Both of them feel sorry for this little brother, especially in the hall just now, he shouldn't have said those words.
