Chapter 172
Once expelled from the clan, it seems like no big deal, but in fact, without the support of the clan, the official path will be cut off.
The clan wants people, is it welcome to the officialdom? You must have made a big mistake, and it is of character. Otherwise, how could the clan abandon you?
The emperor will consider that he may completely give up estrangement from you, and his children and grandchildren will have all their futures. He lacks strong support when he is alone, but he is not that easy to mess around.
Du Peng had to wipe his butt for what the old lady did, and he kept feeling bitter. Mingzhe protected himself and refused to help Fu'er and his daughter, but now the bitter fruit has come and no one can escape.
Qian and Jiang were also frightened when they saw this, so they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"You can get up and not expel the clan, but punishment is necessary. You don't need to persuade me. I don't want your money this time. We didn't make exceptions for money, but it's because of the face of the third brother."
The patriarch came from his heart and gave money every time. Do you really think we care about your money? We can't bear to die with our eyes open.
Du Peng sighed with a bitter face, saying that it would be troublesome if you don’t even want money.
"Don't meddle in other people's business in the future. Let me know about your good things about your destruction of your children and grandchildren. Don't blame me for hitting you. I heard that you still want to help Brother Chen decorate the house?"
The patriarch asked when he remembered something.
"Mother is kind."
"It may not be good intentions, but it is appropriate to have someone around you. In this way, Madam Qi around you is also the third maid. She also knows something in her heart. Go and take care of Brother Chen."
The patriarch remembered Madam Qi's begging for resentment, and his eyes rolled and said.
"The wife is naturally happy to take care of many elderly people around Brother Chen."
Qian quickly responded, but she was not qualified to refute the patriarch's words, and it doesn't matter if an old lady is.
"Madam Qi alone is not enough. No matter how you do, you have to have an old maid to serve you. It's better to send Furong beside me in, even if you go to serve Brother Chen's wife."
Old Mrs. Du didn't have time to think so much, so she quickly stuffed Furong in.
"Don't think I don't know what you have to do."
The patriarch flatly refused.
"That child is honest. Can't I give the contract to my granddaughter-in-law the right to give it to her? Can she let her deal with it?"
Old Mrs. Du was panicked and blurted out to express her feelings.
"Since you sell your body contract, give it to me now, and Madam Qi will give it to me too. Who knows what you are going to do?"
The patriarch rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand to ask for it.
Old Mrs. Du felt something was wrong. At this time, she could not bear to think about it carefully and could only ask someone to take the box and hand over the sales contract between Furong and Madam Qi to the clan leader.
Furong stood up from afar and breathed a sigh of relief. She felt sweat all over her body instantly squeeze out, and she felt sweaty on her body.
Madam Qi patted her hand and smiled gently at her. Furong blinked her eyes and nodded vigorously, her smile feeling relieved.
"This matter is over, but the crime you slander Fu'er is not over yet. Don't think you can fool it. In the case of your old age, you can be saved from the death penalty.
My mother's son will bear the blame. If someone comes, I will beat me Du Peng twenty boards. From now on, whoever dares to break the law will do anything, I will beat you to death so that you will not embarrass me when you go out."
The two brothers from the tribe stepped forward and raised a long stool. They picked up Du Peng and pressed it on the stool. They picked up the board and then started to hit it.
The dull sound of the board came, and the old lady closed her eyes and shook her body one after another. Jiang cried softly on the ground, covering her mouth and burst into tears. She turned her head and kept kowtowing to the patriarch.
"Please spare your second master. Second master really doesn't know. We are really not aware of this time. We didn't care about it on purpose. I swear with my son's life. I really don't know this time. Please don't hit me. Woo woo woo woo woo!"
Jiang was anxious and rushed up to push down Old Lady Du, pointing at her with her fingers and roaring angrily, "It's all you, it's all you who hurt you, it's you who killed your sister-in-law.
It was my fault that day, it was my selfish and uninvoluntary question, which led to the bitter fruit of today. It was you who harmed our whole family and now you still want to harm your own son. If the second master has a few shortcomings, I will fight with you."
He rushed up to slap old lady Du, and Qian quickly stepped forward and hugged her, "No, my second sister-in-law can't beat you. Calm down, you go and invite a doctor first, this is important."
She understood Jiang's mood and hugged her waist tightly to prevent her from coming forward to hit someone. If she really hit her mother-in-law, she would be a big mistake in the future.
Jiang wiped his tears and looked at Qian crying in a daze, "Third brother and sister-in-law, I would rather go with my sister-in-law. Over the years... I have had a good time!"
She burst into tears in a burst of tears.
Who knows the pain in her heart? My sister-in-law lost her life. Could it be that the two of us daughter-in-law have a better life? This mother-in-law beat them into the door and was extremely strict. She was looking for trouble everywhere. She didn't have a peaceful life, so it was not easy for them.
Qian also shed tears. The Yang family and the imperial court were both in front of the emperor. The eldest sister-in-law lost her life. They didn't have this face. Fortunately, the man finally had a love for his feathers, which was a bit comforting. They had not been comfortable over the years.
Qian cried and patted her on the shoulder, "I have to live my life for the sake of my child. You go and invite a doctor. Don't let my second brother get into trouble."
"Okay, thank you brother and sister."
Jiang wiped his tears and forced himself to inspire the girl to invite a doctor who is good at trauma to serve him. He had no fantasies about Mrs. Du, the mother-in-law, and he wanted to stay away from her.
Old Mrs. Du fell softly to the ground and burst into tears. It was also painful to see her son being beaten for her.
The twenty board was finished quickly, and Du Peng stopped fighting without saying a word and fainted.
Jiang's family took Du Peng back for treatment. When the two sons got out of school, they ran back and ran back. They were so scared that their faces turned pale. They helped Jiang's family to help him arrange his work inside and outside, and they were busy.
The clan leader summoned the entire clan to inform the matter, so that everyone could be alerted, and read the list of usury loans, and they all pressed the board and dealt with several such incidents in one breath.
This time, we discussed and decided with the clan elders. We should take this opportunity to pick up the tribesmen who have been relaxing for many years, purge the family, so that the Du family can take advantage of the spring breeze of the Sixth Prince and revitalize the prosperity of the Du family.
After the clan meeting, everyone dispersed. Qian had to help the soft old lady back and settled down before leaving.
The clan leader personally took the clan elder to find the families who borrowed loans and gathered in the yard, burned all the IOUs found in front of him, and carried out the clan members who had used loans to show them, saying that this was their private behavior and the Du clan was not allowed to do so.
He also said that they don’t want all the money left. If it is really difficult, they are willing to work and are willing to help find a job, or if the farmer needs a tenant farmer, they can do it.
In the end, the villagers got their wish and felt relieved without paying the loan. The person who recognized the words inside personally confirmed that their IOU was really burned, and they felt relieved.
