A family with three widows, after severing ties with relatives, she became wealthy and married into

Chapter 189 Compensation 32

"Maybe...maybe she registered in a different village..."

“I’m afraid you won’t work for her.”

Guo's brain works quickly, and he came up with an explanation.

Grandma Feng and Feng Wuliu nodded slightly, indicating that this was possible.

Tian Tian immediately smashed it, exclaiming, "Impossible!"

"Uncle Zhang, who was in charge of registration, knew Zhao Jinhua, so it was impossible for him to register her in another village."

“We have to stamp our attendance cards twice a day. During those days, only one person didn’t come to work, and that person was Liu Xianglan. Zhao Jinhua was not among those who came to work.”

Neither of them came to work.

Grandma Feng swallowed hard.

She felt guilty; of course she knew Liu Xianglan hadn't gone to work.

Liu Xianglan lost her work pass; she went to steal corn. Starting from the second day of work, she stole a dozen or so ears of corn every day, selling them for a hundred copper coins and bringing back a few more...

Guo Da felt even more guilty.

Grandma Feng reacted strongly, "Impossible, it must be you..."

"You're the one who ruined them, and now you're denying everything!!"

Tian Tian shrugged, "Why would I want to hurt them?"

Grandma Feng and Guo Da were even more uncertain...

Grandma Feng: Did Tian Tian really not know about Liu Xianglan stealing corn?

Guo Da: Did Tian Tian really not know that Zhao Jinhua stole the corn?

But if Tian Tian didn't detain them, where else would they go?

Could it be! !

Something really happened?!

Grandma Feng started to panic. What if something really happened...?

Of course, we should report it to the authorities.

"Report to the authorities! Go report to the authorities quickly!!" Old Mrs. Feng turned around and grabbed Feng Wu Liu's hand.

Just as she was about to walk out, she turned back around.

"Tian Tian, ​​if something really happens to my Xianglan, you won't be able to escape responsibility!"

She suddenly snatched the booklet from Tian Tian's hand, saying, "Our family's information is recorded in this booklet."

With that, he took off running downstairs...

Seeing this, Guo Da also ran out...

Tian Tian and the others followed them out.

"This old lady Feng... has very good legs and feet," Liu San Niang exclaimed.

Lu Tao frowned worriedly, "But Tian Tian... if something really happens to them, will it have anything to do with you?"

Tian Tian shrugged. "They'll be fine."

Lu Tao, Liu San Niang, and Tian Xiang looked at her in surprise, their eyes full of "why?"

"Liu Xianglan and Zhao Jinhua were arrested and imprisoned by the county government for stealing my corn."

But she didn't expect that the county government would not release them for so long, nor would they notify their families.

Now that Grandma Feng and the others have reported it to the authorities, they should be able to find out the whereabouts of Liu Xianglan and Zhao Jinhua.

I just don't know... whether the Feng family can understand her hint.

They knew that the person who stole their work permits was Zhao Jinhua.

If you can tell from that... there's bound to be a good show.

Tian Tian was surprised that someone from the county government came and invited her over.

"Second Miss, the people of Qingliu Village are really unreasonable."

"They stole your corn, and now they expect you to go and judge the matter..."

Along the way, the yamen runners kept complaining.

Tian Tian entered the lobby looking completely bewildered...

The lobby was littered with small scraps of paper, and upon closer inspection, she realized they were her booklets.

Then look at Grandma Feng and the others...

Grandma Feng and Liu Xianglan grabbed Zhao Jinhua's hair together.

Guo Da wanted to rescue the person, but Feng Wuliu held him back.

"You bitch, you actually stole my signboard!!"

"What makes you think I stole it from you? Does that sign have your name on it?"

"Didn't you see it in that booklet? It only lists the Feng family."

"Where is the booklet? Where is it?"

"You tore up the booklet, and now you're smug about it. Just wait until Tian Tian comes and ask her."

Tian Tian looked away in disgust.

None of these people are good!

Seeing Tian Tian's expression, Li Huaiyuan suppressed a laugh.

He asked, "Miss Tian, ​​Feng Liu and Guo Zhao stole the corn from your field. Calculate how much silver they owe you in compensation."

These words immediately made Grandma Feng and the others let go of her hands.

"what?!"

When Old Lady Feng looked at Li Huaiyuan, she no longer had the same imposing manner as before. "Sir...haven't they been locked up for more than twenty days already?"

"Do we still...do we still have to pay compensation?"

Li Huaiyuan gave her a cold glance. "If you're unwilling to pay compensation, then stay locked up for the full two years!"

Old Mrs. Feng was shocked. She glanced at Liu Xianglan, then at Feng Wuliu...

Ignoring them, Li Huaiyu continued to question Tian Tian, ​​"Second Miss, after my interrogation, they confessed that they stole from your cornfield for five days, selling a total of five hundred coins, and also ate some."

"How about we set it at six hundred coins?"

Tian Tian nodded, "This humble woman thanks Lord Li for his decision."

"According to the Great Law, the thief must compensate the victim for five times the amount of the loss."

"In other words, you have to compensate Miss Tian Er with three taels of silver." Li Huaiyuan slammed his gavel.

Old Mrs. Feng jumped up and down, "So much compensation?!"

Three taels of silver! Her family didn't even spend that much when they married Liu Xianglan.

Now...

Old Mrs. Feng grabbed Feng Wu Liu, "Son, son..."

"Three ounces is too much..."

Over there, Zhao Jinhua looked at Guo Da pitifully...

She was doing it for her family too.

She didn't keep a single copper coin from selling corn; she gave them all to her mother-in-law, Zhou.

Guo Da couldn't bear to part with Zhao Jinhua. She had been in prison for over twenty years, and it was too difficult for her. Her hair was disheveled, and she smelled terrible.

His face was covered in filth and had been scratched by Old Lady Feng, from which blood was flowing.

Although they never had children, their relationship was quite good.

But he doesn't have that much money.

"Jinhua, I... I'm going back to get the money from Mother." Guo Da reached out and stroked Zhao Jinhua's forehead. "You... you wait for me."

As he spoke, he bowed to Li Huaiyuan, "Sir, I'm going back to get the silver."

"Go ahead," Li Huaiyuan waved his hand.

He turned to Grandma Feng, "And you?"

Old Mrs. Feng muttered to herself, "Son, three taels is too much. Marrying her only cost three taels..."

"Besides, we have no money. Let's not lose any more money and let's go."

Feng Wuliu was in a dilemma, "But..."

His relationship with Liu Xianglan was bad; he often beat her...

She also failed to raise her son, Feng Bajiu, well...

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Xianglan really wasn't a good wife...

Old Mrs. Feng continued to stir things up, "Son, we're out of money. If we had any, we might as well let you find a new wife, wouldn't you say?"

Feng Wuliu thought about it and realized that he wanted to go to the gambling den, but he didn't have a single penny at home, so where would he get the money to pay Tian Tian?

No, the money from selling the corn is still with Liu Xianglan.

Feng Wuliu's eyes flickered as he left Old Lady Feng and went to Liu Xianglan's side.

"Xianglan, I want to pay the compensation for you, but we don't have enough money at home."

"Didn't you sell the corn and have a few hundred coins on you?"

"Give it to me, and I'll go back and scrape together three taels of silver to compensate Tian Tian, ​​then we'll go home."
