Zhao Huaiqing's grandson was also unlucky. His daughter married to the county magistrate's house in the next town. Zhao Huaiqing was a Jinshi two class earlier than his in-laws. After high school, he was sent to the local county magistrate. He stayed there for nearly 30 years and had not moved.
The political achievements are relatively good. Because they are located in a remote location, the Yao family doesn’t look down on these seventh-rank county magistrates at all. In the officialdom, they are almost the lowest level and have no use to them, so they will naturally not win over them.
A few days ago, it was Zhao Huaiqing's birthday, and his daughter and son-in-law came to celebrate his birthday with his grandson.
Later, the son-in-law had to go back to the county school to study and went back early. Because his daughter had not returned home for several years, she was left at her parents' home for more days.
Who would have thought that he would encounter an epidemic and it would be impossible to go back.
His grandson is only three years old this year. Such a young man is tortured by the epidemic and no one can bear to see it.
After Li Xuanming carefully checked the child, it was too late to get acne, but the situation was not very dangerous. Next, just stay by your side, take good care of it, and then take the medicine on time. More than half of the hope will survive.
After several students ended up consuming acne for the common people, they began to go door to door for consultation. In fact, they were prescribed medicine for those who had been infected, so that they could survive.
This time, Xie Lang looked at all in the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was not busy, but she experienced all kinds of life.
Some people are inseparable from life and death, some are in trouble, and some are abandoning their wives and children. They fully interpret the complexity of human nature.
The outbreak of the epidemic has caused many people to suffer. Perhaps many people are too late to regret it behind their backs.
If Xie Lang implements some more government orders or other next time, I believe someone will secretly oppose it.
People always have a lot of forgetfulness.
After almost a month of struggle, Xie Lang took everyone back to Shengjing.
Just a few days after Xie Lang left, Luo Qing's daughter Dani finally saved her life from the gate of hell, but her face left scars that were scabbed and shed. Even if it was not serious, it would affect her beauty.
Originally, Old Mrs. Zhang didn't like this granddaughter, but now she has lost her appearance. In the future, she has no hope of marrying a good family. She has completely become a money-losing guy. She opens her eyes all day until she goes to bed at night, and the one who has opened her mouth and speaks dirty words never stops.
Luo Qing was patient at first, even if she wanted to divorce her, she had to wait until her daughter survived.
Now that my daughter is not in danger of life, although she is still weak, Luo Qing can no longer wait. At this family, listening to her mother-in-law's sharp curse every day, the little girl is always scared and trembling, and it is impossible for her to cultivate well.
In this era, if you want to divorce, your husband will not give you a book of peace and separation. You can leave with it. You have to report it to the government. There is no official seal from the government. If you write a hundred books of peace and separation between you and your husband, you will still be husband and wife.
"Da Ni, if you divorce your father, would you stay here or follow your mother?" Luo Qing asked her daughter softly.
The little girl was shocked, not because of her parents' separation, but because of her mother's fear of her mother's resignation.
"Mom, my daughter comes with you, don't want me." The little girl held her mother's sleeve tightly, her face turned pale even more, and her body shook violently.
Luo Qing hugged her daughter in her arms, and tears fell silently.
This life that is so forcing people to death is finally going to make a comeback.
"How can I bear to leave you here? Don't be afraid, I will take you wherever I go."
"Yes." The little girl nodded vigorously in her mother's arms.
She doesn't like her grandmother or her father. In this family, only her mother really feels sorry for her.
He stuffed her into the quilt again and tucked it in thin quilt, "Da Ni, go and talk to your father."
When I got up, I found that my sleeves were still clenched in my daughter's palm, and gently patted her dry little hand, "Don't be afraid, when did my mother have deceived you?"
The little girl hesitated again and again before she let go of her hand.
"Mom, come back quickly."
"good."
Seeing Dani closing her eyes, Luo Qing got up and walked out of the room. While closing the door, the smile on her face also disappeared.
She figured it out that life in the Zhang family was hard, and it would definitely not be easy to live with her daughter after she divorced.
Since both ends are suffering, why should she stay in the Zhang family and be tortured by the mother and son?
She must have to get the dowry back. When she got married, her parents gave her a cosmetic shop, which was now held by Mrs. Zhang. All the expenses of the Zhang family are now paid in the shop. Although the shop has been earning less and less money in Mrs. Zhang’s hands over the years, it is still an investment.
She and her daughter live together in the future. As long as she is not lazy and runs the shop well, it is enough for the mother and daughter to eat and wear.
Zhang Yulin had been out of danger earlier. During this period, Zhang Yulin has lived alone in the study room and has never stepped into their wedding room. He has obviously had acne and will not get infected with the epidemic again. He can watch his wife take care of his daughter day and night, but he refuses to look at Da Ni even if he is alone. He has not even said a word to the mother and mother. Perhaps he is resentful to Luo Qing and Da Ni in his heart, which makes him almost die.
"What are you doing here? You're not going back to the embarrassing thing?" Old Mrs. Zhang was sitting in front of the main hall picking vegetables and preparing to cook.
Before, Luo Qing cooked, because Da Ni was infected with the epidemic, Old Mrs. Zhang was afraid that eating the food made by Luo Qing would harm her, so Old Mrs. Zhang, who had not cooked for more than ten years, had to work on her own.
Luo Qing pursed her lips and said nothing, raised her feet and walked into the house, and went to Zhang Yulin's study.
"What are you doing? Why are you doing with my son? I will tell you, my son is just a few days away. If you infect him again, I will beat you to death." Old Mrs. Zhang saw the direction where Luo Qing was going, and hurriedly threw down the food in her hand and followed her hurriedly.
Luo Qing stepped forward and pushed open the door and saw Zhang Yulin reviewing books in the study.
In fact, he has no intention of reading books over the years. He has participated in several county examinations but has never been able to go further.
The key is that Zhang Yulin never felt that he was not good at studying. After all, his Tongsheng exam was very exciting, and the county magistrate praised him at that time.
But as long as you read and memorize the book carefully, it is not difficult to pass the exam. Perhaps he was indeed very spiritual when he was young, but he was still complacent because he passed the exam to Tongsheng too early. Later, after Luo Qing's grandfather passed away, the new husband was much more old-fashioned than Luo Qing's grandfather, and Zhang Yulin lost his advantage.
Those who were worse than him were admitted to the scholars. He didn't think he was wrong. Instead, he secretly blamed the county magistrate for not knowing how to be rude. At the same time, he was jealous of those classmates who passed the exam for having "bad luck".
"Didn't you see me studying? Why are you making a fuss?" Zhang Yulin couldn't help but frown and scolded when he saw the two people at the door of the study.
Old Mrs. Zhang naturally regarded her son as more important than herself. When she saw her son angry, she felt a little guilty.
"This little bitch doesn't know what to come to you for. Mom is afraid that she will disturb you from studying, so she can't stop her coming."
Luo Qing was too lazy to see the two of them again, so she took two steps forward, "Zhang Yulin, let's share our relationship."
"..." Zhang Yulin looked at Luo Qing with a cold look, and the old lady Zhang next to her seemed to be frightened. "If you are well, help your mother take care of her family and stop thinking about it."
Luo Qing knew that Zhang Yulin would definitely not agree easily. He knew in his heart that if he was a friend, he would definitely take away the dowry. Even if the Zhang family was selling the goods, they might not be able to get it together.
She didn't dare to pester her, just because she was afraid that Zhang Yulin would be anxious to jump over the wall. She and her daughter were single and weak, and even Old Lady Zhang could not beat him, let alone Zhang Yulin.
Seeing Luo Qing's face looked ugly, Zhang Yulin came forward, "You are angry that I haven't visited Dani for a while, but you also know that Dani is sensible. Even as a father, you have to avoid suspicion. Thank you for your hard work these days, it's your fault. Wait until Dani is better and take you mother and daughter to the countryside for her husband, okay?"
What did Old Mrs. Zhang want to say, but Zhang Yulin gave her mother a stern look, "I still have to study. You are tired these days. Please spend more time with Dani and let your mother cook in the next few days."
"Yes!" Luo Qing nodded and left with her eyes down.
After Luo Qing's back disappeared, Old Mrs. Zhang asked dumbly, "What's wrong with you? Just be kind to you. If you find another young and beautiful person, wouldn't it be good to give birth to a big fat boy for you?"
"Why is it not good?" Zhang Yulin sneered, "Mom thinks I don't want my son?"
"Then why do you still have that attitude?"
"If I have a bad attitude, Luo Qing insists on leaving her dowry, can her family afford her family?"
“…”
Zhang Yulin knew that Luo Qing loved him very much and thought he would comfort him, but who would have thought that the next afternoon, Luo Qing took Da Ni away, and then he received a summon from the county government.
When he came here with Old Lady Zhang, he saw Luo Qing and Da Ni kneeling in the court.
"Qing'er, what are you doing?" Zhang Yulin is a child, not a scholar, and he still has to kneel down to worship when he sees an official.
Luo Qing looked at Zhao Huaiqing above and said, "I want to leave you."
"Why do you still have to divorce? Didn't you and I agree to agree before?" Zhang Yulin's face turned dark. There were many people outside the court, almost all of them acquaintances from neighbors.
Xiping Town is not big, and basically everyone in the town knows each other.
In front of so many people, his wife took the initiative to leave him. Where did he put his face?
"That's what you said, I won't agree." Luo Qing kowtowed to Zhao Huaiqing, "My county magistrate, the civilian woman will definitely make the decision, and the civilian woman will divorce Zhang Yulin."
When His Majesty was leaving, Zhao Huaiqing was told some things. There was no divorce between the couple, only separation.
As long as one party asks for separation, when it is determined that the other party is at fault, it is allowed to separate.
Moreover, Your Majesty also told that if the woman wants to establish a self-employed party, the government will not interfere and can set up a file for her own household.
Zhao Huaiqing looked at the two of them, "Luo, tell me about this county, why should I divorce my husband? Did he do something to be sorry for you?"
"Sir!" Luo Qing's eyes were firm. "The civilian woman sorted out her dowry last night and found that both the silver and the shop had been secretly taken away by her mother-in-law. The civilian woman now has no penny, including the two famous calligraphy and paintings given to the civilian woman by her grandfather when she got married, the Duan inkstones of both rooms, and a jade pendant were all gone, and they were all sold by her mother-in-law..."
As soon as he said this, the people watching the fun outside the court were immediately in an uproar and looked at Old Mrs. Zhang. The more you looked, you would be as despised as you would.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this old lady who doesn't look like that outside, actually dares to greed for the dowry of Mo's daughter-in-law. She really doesn't want any face."
"It's not that. The dowry is the entire property of a woman. Old Mrs. Zhang is stealing it, but she has to be jailed."
"Can old lady Zhang not understand? It's not that she has never been someone else's daughter-in-law. Even if she doesn't understand, how can her son not understand? It's obvious that the mother and son are together and are greedy for the daughter-in-law's dowry. Zhang Xiaotong was so glorious back then, look at the present..."
"If Zhang Xiaotong had a glory, is Luo's family bad? If it weren't for Mr. Luo back then, his Tongsheng wouldn't be his Tongsheng? Later, Mr. Luo was gone. This glorious little Tongsheng has been in more than ten years and he can't even pass the exam for a scholar."
"It's a pity for Miss Luo. When she first got married that year, many people in the county envied their equality. Let's look at how thin Mrs. Luo is now? This wife has been repeatedly ruthless."
If it were other circumstances, maybe Zhao Huaiqing could persuade him, but the mother and son were greedy for their dowry. If they were not allowed to divorce, it would be too unreasonable.
"What are you talking nonsense? You have married into the Zhang family. You took out your dowry and gave it to me, my mother-in-law, and your man to eat and drink. You still refuse?" Old Mrs. Zhang was discussed by people outside, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to kill her head here, but she didn't think she had done something wrong.
"Hey, this old lady is so shameless. Let's see who dares to marry her son in the future."
"That's right, I really didn't expect it to be such a person."
Zhao Huaiqing slapped the hawk with a "bang", "Zhang Yulin, is Luo's truth?"
"Sir, the student is wronged. This is taken out by Luo himself and has nothing to do with us mother and son." Zhang Yulin thrust his head and said this sentence directly with a bald mouth.
It is conceivable that Zhang Yulin almost broke his back because of this sentence.
