Chapter 78 This time there is great progress
Yang Zhiya spoke slowly: "Whether they have been removed from the family tree, whether they have divorced, is not up to you to say, I will check it myself!"
At this time, Yuan Cuihua suddenly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I want to file a complaint too!"
"What are you complaining about?"
Yuan Cuihua pointed at Zhao Susu and Meng Yu and said, "I spent 40 taels of real gold and silver to buy these mother and daughter. The indenture is here, but she ran away. I will sue her for running away. In addition, I will sue her for making false accusations and ruining the reputation of my Qihonglou!"
"We didn't sign a contract to sell ourselves!"
"Your man signed it!"
"That's not my man!"
"I don't care. The adults will make the decision!"
The two of them came and went. Facing the enchanting and condescending Yuan Cuihua, Zhao Susu did not retreat at all. She still looked very embarrassed, but her back slowly straightened.
Meng Yu didn't say anything, but she was always observing. If her mother was not capable, she would take over.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Susu rushed to the front, and this time, she didn't let her daughter go!
Yang Zhiya glanced at Zhao Susu and called Captain Wang over: "Go to Baiwu Town quickly to find Zou Xian, ask the police to retrieve the relevant records, gather all the relevant people, and bring them all here! The public trial will continue tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!"
Yang Zhiya glanced at the people in the hall again and said, "To prevent them from fleeing for fear of the crime, all the defendants must not leave the court. Take them away!"
Seeing two yamen runners coming towards him, Meng Cheng was anxious: "Sir, I am not the defendant, can I leave?"
Yang Zhiya glanced at him calmly: "Oh, if Zhao Cuo can produce evidence of divorce, you are a kidnapper. Do you think you can leave?"
"Your Excellency, I am her man!"
"Take it down!"
Yu Zhier apologized with a smile: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have a child at home, so it is really inconvenient!"
Yang Zhiya glanced at her and said nothing.
The master beside him said, "Whether you are irrelevant or not is up to you, my Lord. Don't forget that if you and Meng Cheng don't have a marriage certificate as evidence, and there is no official record, then it is an unmatched adultery, and the crime is not light!"
Yu Zhier's face turned pale immediately, but she remained stubborn and muttered quietly: "This is something we both agreed to, how can it be considered an affair without a matchmaker?"
The lawyer laughed when he heard this. Legal ignorance is really terrible: "If you don't have a husband and he doesn't have a wife, it's still adultery, but you can just get a marriage certificate. If you have a husband and he has a wife, you are guilty!"
He also added: "By the way, even if you take a concubine, there is a concubine document!"
Although Yu Zhier followed Meng Cheng to the county town for two or three years, opened a grocery store, gave birth to a son, and lived a very comfortable life, she and Meng Cheng never got a marriage certificate.
She had mentioned it several times, but Meng Cheng was unwilling and even suggested taking her as a concubine.
Yu Zhier definitely can't do this. Besides, things have been going smoothly for the past two years, so she has been delayed like this.
At this moment, her heart was beating fast, her face was pale, and she felt weak. At the same time, she was very angry with Meng Cheng.
He said that the yellow-faced woman in his family was a bitch and that he got annoyed at the sight of her and wished she were dead; but he refused to divorce her.
He doted on and protected her, but she even gave birth to a son for him, and in the eyes of their neighbors, they were a couple, but they did not have a real status.
Not a single person in the group could walk out the door.
Those who were watching the fun were talking about it. Although it was a pity that they couldn't see the result right away, there would still be fun to watch tomorrow.
Zhao Susu and her group were not put in jail, but were arranged to live in a row of houses on the west side of the county government office, with someone guarding them. The men lived on the left, the women lived on the right, and of course, Meng Jiabao lived with Yu Zhier.
Meng Jiabao touched his head and cried out in pain, but Yu Zhier was worried and had no intention of comforting him, which made Meng Jiabao cry and make a fuss.
On Zhao Susu's side, the mother and daughter were much more at ease.
She didn't bring the divorce agreement with her, but it was filed in the official archives. When she left the ancestral hall, there was such a big scene in the Meng clan, many people knew about it.
Looking at Zhao Susu's peaceful face, Meng Yu asked quietly, "Mom, are you afraid?"
Zhao Susu shook her head, touched her daughter's crooked hairpin, helped her tie it up again, then took a bucket and went to fetch water.
There is a well in front of this row of houses. You can get water by yourself just by talking to the guard.
She fetched some water and washed the blood off her face and lips.
Over there, Yuan Cuihua leaned against the door, folded her arms, and watched Zhao Susu fetch water swiftly. The corners of her lips raised slightly, revealing a slightly contemptuous look, and asked: "My third floor is so high, and you were tied up, how did you escape?"
After such a long time, only this one person escaped.
Zhao Susu didn't want to pay attention to her, but still responded: "Break the rope and hang down!"
"Impossible!" Yuan Cuihua snorted, "How did you manage to break such a thick hemp rope... You didn't bite it off with your teeth, did you?"
Zhao Susu said nothing, picked up some water and went into the house.
Yuan Cuihua also felt sticky and uncomfortable. She had people to serve her in the building, but here she had to rely on herself. She didn't think she could lift a bucket of water, so she knocked on Zhao Susu's door again: "Hey, help me get a bucket of water!"
Meng Yu frowned when he heard the bossy tone.
Zhao Susu opened the door: "Do your own thing!"
Yuan Cuihua raised her eyebrows.
Meng Yu in the room also raised her eyebrows. This time her mother had really made great progress. She seemed to have become brave and fearless, and she could say no to others without any cowardice.
Yuan Cuihua said: "Help me fetch water, and I'll give you money when we get out!"
Zhao Susu was unmoved: "I have to wash my child, so I won't entertain you!" Then he closed the door in her face.
Yuan Cuihua was so angry that her nose almost broke. She cursed outside: "Isn't it just a lousy tailor in town? You really think you are so great. If I weren't here, do you think I would even look at you?"
She scolded again: "Don't forget, I spent money to buy you two. If you are good, please me now, and I will take care of you. Since you don't want to drink the wine, don't blame me for not reminding you in the future!"
When Zhao Susu in the room heard this, she paused.
Meng Yu held her hand and said, "Mom, have you forgotten that you are really divorced? That bad father can't sell you out."
Zhao Susu nodded gently and continued to wring her handkerchief to wash her face.
Meng Yu quickly took it and did it himself.
Butcher Cao bribed Uncle Meng and his aunt-in-law so that he could take Zhao Susu as his concubine.
But who could have thought that his evil act would actually set Zhao Susu free.
Zhao Susu's brows were not completely relaxed.
The Meng clan leader and his clansmen thought Meng Cheng was dead, so they wrote the divorce letter on his behalf, but Meng Cheng is still alive now.
She didn't know whether the divorce would be effective.
