Chapter 155: Sister Hu Sues Lin Yueliang
"The Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said." Shen Wanning stretched out her index finger and shook it left and right.
After saying that, he jumped a few steps with his hands behind his back, like a happy rabbit.
Yan Hui looked at Lin Jingyou, "Brother Jingyou, you mentioned Sister Wan Ning, she is..."
Lin Jingyou was helpless, yet doting. "Let her be! If she doesn't tell us, there's nothing we can do. Wait, we'll know tomorrow."
Aunt Zhang mentioned this matter during dinner in the evening, and told the three little ones to be careful when going to and from school, and to stay away from Lin Yueliang when they saw her and never talk to her.
The next morning, just as Shen Wanning had expected, around five in the morning, Mrs. Hu and Lin Daqiang were wandering outside their gate.
Aunt Zhang was the first to get up. She saw two people at the door and when she got closer, she realized who they were. There were two symmetrical slap marks on Mrs. Hu's face.
"Hey, Aunt Zhang, could you please call Wan Ning? We have something to talk to her about." Lin Daqiang stood outside the door reluctantly, not saying a word. It was Mrs. Hu who spoke first.
"What are you two up to? Seeing you two so early in the morning is such bad luck! I'm going to have a rough day. Ugh!"
"Hey, Aunt Zhang, we're really not here to cause trouble. We just want to ask Wan Ning for help with something." Mrs. Hu called Wan Ning very affectionately.
"What's the matter? You asked me for help, so we helped! Don't you know what bad things you did in the past? How can you be so shameless? I think the walls of the county town should be plastered with your face, it works better than any bricks!"
"Oh, Aunt Zhang, we really have an emergency. Please, let Wan Ning come out and help us this time! We know we were wrong, and we will never dare to provoke you again."
Shen Wanning guessed that Hu's wife might come today, so she was only half asleep this morning. Soon she heard the voices of Aunt Zhang and Hu's wife talking outside.
"Mom!" Shen Wanning pushed open the door and shouted.
"Hey, why do you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer? Did we wake you up? I'll send them away and you can continue sleeping." Aunt Zhang responded.
Shen Wanning straightened her hair and walked over to Aunt Zhang. "Mom, let them in! Go wash up first. I want to see what they want from me."
"They said they have something to ask you, so don't bother with them. People like them don't deserve to die. They wanted to kill us in the first place, and now they want us to save them. It's simply unbelievable!"
"It's okay, Mom. After all, we are from the same village. We will help if we can. You go and do your work first. I'll take care of this." Shen Wanning gently pushed Aunt Zhang and asked her to go wash up.
Hearing Shen Wanning say this, Lin Daqiang was moved. He had hurt Shen Wanning several times before, but he didn't expect that Shen Wanning would still be willing to help them at this time.
Before leaving, Aunt Zhang glared at them fiercely, as if venting her resentment.
"Come in!" Shen Wanning led them to sit down at home.
"Um, um, Wan Ning! We heard from Tiema that you know the county magistrate and he often goes to your shop to drink milk tea. Is this true?" Mrs. Hu put her arms on the table, looked at Shen Wan Ning, and asked nervously.
Shen Wanning nodded casually, "Yeah, I know him, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Hu and Lin Daqiang exchanged a glance. Lin Daqiang coughed twice and said, "We want to see the county magistrate to file a complaint. Can you help us?"
"The people can go to the county government office to file a complaint at any time. They don't need my help. You can just go and knock on the drum yourself." Shen Wanning told the truth.
"Then can you go with us? We were trembling and scared when we saw the county magistrate. I'm afraid we can't explain it clearly. It would be better if you were by our side." Mrs. Hu looked at Shen Wanning awkwardly and said in a low voice.
"How about this, tell me who you want to sue first. Otherwise, if you sue a good person, the county magistrate will think I am in cahoots with you and am helping you frame a good person!"
"I...we want to sue that rebellious girl, Lin Yueliang. She is the one who harmed us like this. She was the one who cut off my hand. She even wanted to kill us. We must go to the county magistrate and explain everything!" Mrs. Hu stretched out her hand and said.
Although she had believed most of Shen Wanning's words last night, she still didn't dare to fully believe them. Who knew that at night, Lin Yueliang would return, staring at them with a strange look in her eyes. The more she looked, the more she felt that Lin Yueliang wanted to kill her and Lin Daqiang. So, the couple didn't dare sleep at all that night, and they immediately ran to Shen Wanning for help.
"I don't know if what you said is true. Forget it, I'll just do you a good deed and accompany you to the county government office! On the way, you should think about what to say to the county magistrate, and don't be ignorant of everything." Shen Wanning pretended to be helpless, but had to go.
The two nodded quickly, "Don't worry, we know what to say."
Shen Wanning called Lin Jingcheng and asked him to help send her and Lin Daqiang and his wife to the county town. Before that, she asked Lin Dashan to go to the village head's house and talk to him about the matter.
Finally, after discussing it, they decided to tie Lin Yueliang to the carriage and take her to the county government office. Later, Yan Hui and Lin Jingyou squeezed into the carriage and went to the county government office with them.
Lin Yueliang was tied up and kneeling in the carriage. Shen Wanning, Lin Jingyou, and Yan Hui sat on one side. Lin Daqiang and his wife, along with the village head, sat on the other. Lin Yueliang struggled throughout the journey, but only became more subdued after being kicked several times by Lin Daqiang.
After Lin Daqiang mustered up the courage to step forward and knock on the door drum, a constable came forward to lead them in. On the way, he greeted Shen Wanning and exchanged a few words of greeting.
County Magistrate He was a little surprised to see Shen Wanning, but he soon began to handle the case impartially.
"Who is here? Tell me your name!" County Magistrate He slammed the gavel and said in a businesslike manner.
"I, Lin Daqiang, your humble servant, greet the great Lord!"
"I, Shen Wanning, greet the County Magistrate."
……
Everyone greeted County Magistrate He.
County Magistrate He had seen Lin Daqiang and Mrs. Hu before, but he had never seen Lin Yueliang.
County Magistrate He glanced at Yan Hui and Lin Jingyou a few more times because they were the only two standing, and Yan Hui didn't salute, just standing there. He just nodded at Yan Hui and didn't blame him.
Lin Jingyou and Shen Wanning both looked at County Magistrate He and Yan Hui at the same time, and understood what was going on. County Magistrate He probably knew Yan Hui and knew his identity.
The same is true for Yan Hui.
"Lin Daqiang, who are you suing today and what's the matter?" asked County Magistrate He.
Lin Daqiang pointed at Lin Yueliang and said, "I want to sue my rebellious daughter, Lin Yueliang."
