Chapter 232 233 Autumn Harvest
Brother Qin looked at Yu County Lieutenant with cold eyes, sneered and threw Aunt Yang and Mrs. Yang at Yu County Lieutenant's feet, pointed at the two of them and said: "Master Yu, these two cheap slaves poisoned and murdered their mistress, please tell me what the crime should be."
Of course Lieutenant Yu knew about the murder of his mistress and the hanging, but that was a matter of his own family, so to bring it to the Yamen without any regard for face would be a joke! What about the colleagues in the yamen?
Yu Xianwei looked at Yu Yan and Yu Chengyi who were pulling at their lapels, panicking and crying. He frowned and said to Brother Qin in a low voice, "Brother, I know Aunt Yang is wrong, but we can deal with Aunt Yang and Mrs. Yang privately." !You didn’t discuss with me at all in advance. Do you have any confidence in taking this seriously? Don’t you think you are going too far in bullying me?”
Brother Qin sneered and said: "Too much bullying? Let's not talk about the fact that you have been living and eating in my house since you were ten years old. We have worked hard to train you. Let's talk about what happened after my little sister got married to you! I, Qin Hu, want to My little sister and several nephews helped you build relationships to help you get ahead, but you hooked up with this bitch outside and became an adulterer. My little sister redeemed this bitch for you. For this bitch, you neglected your duties and was almost expelled from the government. It was me again who was looking for connections to get you to Qingchuan. What did you do? You all wanted to kill my little sister, and I was trying to save face for you? Do you think the people in my old Qin family are all fools? Can’t do it?”
After Brother Qin finished speaking in a crackling voice, he saw that the county lieutenant was staying there with his face turning green and white, so he ignored him, took Aunt Yang and Mrs. Yang, and went straight to Zhou Jia's prison room, throwing them in front of Zhou Jia. , took out Mrs. Yang's confession and put it on the table, cupped her hands and said, "Master Zhou, do you care whether these two cheap slaves are plotting to murder the mistress?"
Zhou Jia looked at Mrs. Yang's confession on the table and shouted, "Come here, take them down and imprison them first."
"Yes, sir." Wang Cheng and Tu Hui walked into the custody room and took the person down. Zhou Jia cupped his hands at the head of the Qin escort and said, "Brother Qin family, let me investigate and get back to you."
"Of course, I'll leave it to you and I'll go back." After Brother Qin finished speaking, he handed over to Zhou Jiagong and walked out.
Zhou Jia returned to the yamen, told Li Yu about the Yu family, and sighed: "Yu'er, you didn't see that the eldest brother of the Qin family just slipped him away to the yamen, and Yu Xianwei didn't even see him. Come on, how dare a person like this pamper his concubine and destroy his wife? I think Yu County Lieutenant is soft-hearted. He lost his position after being coaxed by his concubine. His incompetence in managing the family has led to today's situation."
Li Yu glanced sideways at Zhou Jia, tapped the tip of his nose and said, "How do I know that you mean that if you manage the family well, you won't be coaxed by your concubine? You won't be like Yu Xianwei, who can't settle things." Wives and concubines?”
"You're wronged!" Zhou Jia shouted exaggeratedly, looked at her with an aggrieved look, held his heart in his hands and said: "Yu'er, you are unjust to death by saying this. I only have you in my eyes and my heart, and you are not allowed to say it again in the future. If this happens, I will be sad.”
Li Yu looked at him acting strangely and burst out laughing. He put his arms around his neck and kissed him on the face, "They are joking with you, can't you tell?"
Zhou Jia helped Li Yu sit on the chair and said softly: "I know, you are joking with me! I just want to make you happy."
Li Yu leaned in Zhou Jia's arms, "Aunt Yang and the mother-in-law have been taken into custody, right? Mrs. Qin is going to live apart from Yu Xianwei!"
After hearing this, Zhou Jia said with some understanding: "Oh! No wonder the eldest brother of the Qin family seems to have no scruples. It turns out that he no longer regards the county captain as his brother-in-law. The evidence of Aunt Yang and the mother-in-law murdering the mistress is conclusive and has been taken into custody. Well, I saw that the county captain was in a state of despair, so I asked him to go back and sort out his family affairs before coming back."
When Yu County Lieutenant heard that Mrs. Qin said that she wanted to separate the family and live separately, he looked distressed and said, "Madam, how could you have such an idea? I know that I have been neglectful of you before, but I never thought of harming you." You! I really don’t know anything about Aunt Yang’s poisoning. Even if you don’t do it for me, you have to think about the child!”
Mrs. Qin looked at Yu Xianwei and said calmly: "If it weren't for the sake of the child, I would not divorce you, but make peace with you!"
Yu County Lieutenant looked at Mrs. Qin and Brother Qin standing at the door. You have always looked down on me. In this case, as you wish, can't I, Yu Tong, live without you? Sneered: "You have already thought about it, can I still say no?"
Mrs. Qin took out two contracts, put them on the table and said, "I will take my dowry away, and I will leave everything at home to you." Yu County Lieutenant signed the contract without saying a word, turned around and walked out. Yu Yan comforted her crying brother and looked at Mrs. Qin standing in the upper room with hatred in her eyes.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Qin came to see Li Yu and said goodbye with a look of reluctance: "Mrs. Li, Yu County Lieutenant has agreed to live apart from me. Thank you for taking care of me these days. I hope we can meet again." You get together.”
Seeing Mrs. Qin's relaxed and happy face, Li Yu knew that she had really let go, and responded with a smile: "Okay, we will meet again in the future if we are destined."
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the rice fields outside Qingchuan City, golden waves of rice are swaying in the wind, and the rice fields are full of farmers busy harvesting. Li Yu stood at the edge of the breeding field wearing a straw hat. He looked at the breeding rice, which was obviously longer and fuller than ordinary domestic rice. He nodded with satisfaction and directed the long-term workers to harvest wild rice and domestic rice separately. The rice is dried separately in the drying field.
Seeing the long-term workers transporting the millet to the sun drying field, Yang Wei smiled and said to Li Yu: "Madam, I estimate that these acres of breeding land can yield at least six or seven kilos of millet per acre. The long-term workers say that they have never I have never harvested such good rice, and there are few flat rice."
Li Yu nodded, his face filled with the joy of a good harvest, and asked Yang Wei: "Next spring, leave one acre of the newly cultivated rice seeds out of the four acres. Just like wild rice, it can be cultivated again with other common rice seeds." . The remaining three acres of rice seeds will be sold to the villagers who came to register, and explain clearly to them what to pay attention to."
Seeing Li Yu's belly and face covered with sweat, Yang Wei said worriedly: "I understand, Madam, Sun Poison, you'd better go back to the city first!"
Li Yu saw that Yang Wei was becoming more mature and steady, and praised: "Not bad! Ah Wei can also take charge of his own duties, so he can share the burden with me."
Yang Wei looked at Li Yu and said hesitantly: "Madam, Changgong Uncle Dashui said that his family used to live in Daqingshan to the west. He said that there is a mountainous land there, suitable for reclaiming wasteland. I think what he said is a bit Like our Fengming Village, I want to visit it after the farming season is busy and open up wasteland for farming! Do you think I can do it?"
