593 Unfilial Reputation Spread
Lin yuelan used the excuse that she was too young. No matter how many reasons Lin Sanniu and Lin Laosan had to accuse her of being unfilial, in the end, they could not establish the crime.
Lin Laosan and the others were dumbfounded by the result.
Not only did they spend money, but the two men were also beaten up and in pain. In the end, they didn’t get anything. Money, houses, shops, all of them flew away in an instant.
Lin Laosan and the others were so angry that they felt pain all over their bodies. Other than their swollen buttocks bleeding and their pale faces, their lungs, and livers hurt. In short, they felt pain everywhere. However, their hearts hurt the most.
However, so what?
This was also the first time they had heard of that law. This was the first time they knew that the wretched girl had not even reached the age of fifteen, so she did not need to show them filial piety yet.
They were really infuriated.
Looking at their pale and ashen faces, Lin yuelan slightly curled her lips and secretly sneered. Then, she immediately restored her sad and helpless but magnanimous expression and said, “Your Excellency, although I do not need to show filial piety, my former mother, Chen Xiaoqing, is sick, so I still need to show filial piety. My medical skills may be insignificant to those godly doctors and great scholars, but I’m still confident that I can cure auntie Chen’s illness.
“It’s just that I need you to be my witness.”
Lin yuelan’s words were telling the Lin family and everyone else that although she didn’t need to be filial to the Lin family now, she still wanted to show filial piety.
‘Didn’t you say that I didn’t pay for Chen Xiaoqing’s treatment? That’s fine, I still won’t pay, but I’ll treat her personally until she’s cured. No one can say anything then, right?’
Such an approach had actually disgusted the Lin family. They had resentful and helpless expressions.
County Magistrate Zhou immediately asked, ” what kind of witness do you need me to be? ”
Lin yuelan said, ” Sir, the Lin family said that auntie Chen’s condition is serious, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. How severe is her condition? Thus, I would like to ask you to send someone to the Lin family Village with me. From the time I treat auntie Chen until she fully recovers, I need this person to be involved.”
What she was trying to say was that while she was treating Chen Xiaoqing, the Lin family could torment Chen Xiaoqing again, so that Chen Xiaoqing’s condition would not have any effect.
In fact, Lin yuelan’s purpose was to prevent the Lin family from doing all kinds of dirty tricks behind her back.
Lin yuelan and the Lin family were well aware of this, but the others were confused.
This treatment was clearly a good and filial act, so why did she need a witness?
“Sir, I would like to request permission to follow miss Lin to the Lin family Village!” Zhou wencai immediately volunteered himself.
Because this was in court, they didn’t address each other as father and son but as the higher-ups and lower-ups in the court.
When County Magistrate Zhou heard Zhou Wencai’s request, he frowned slightly and said, ” alright then.”
He had thought that the case would be over.
However,
“Your Excellency, this commoner has a complaint!” Suddenly, Lin yuelan’s cold voice resounded in the court.
Everyone thought that the case would end there, but then, a shocking scene appeared!
County Magistrate Zhou held the gavel in his hand and shouted sternly, ” what charges do you have? Bring them up!”
Immediately, Lin yuelan took out a piece of accusation paper from her sleeve and handed it over, ” my Lord, I want to make a complaint. First, Yan Lin of the Lin family Village used temptation and threats to instruct Lin Sanniu to come to my field to steal the vegetable seeds and destroy the seedlings. The total value of the stolen and destroyed goods is 1400 taels of silver. The second is Lin Sanniu from the Lin family Village. He was ordered to pretend to be a worker and sneak into the greenhouse to steal the vegetable seeds and destroy the seedlings. The total value of the stolen and destroyed items was 1400 taels! Your Excellency, please investigate!”
As soon as Lin yuelan’s case fell, the bystanders at the entrance of the court immediately burst into a commotion.
They felt that this was too inconceivable and too treacherous.
The person she was going to sue was Lin Sanniu, the person who had wanted to sue her before, her biological father.
