Especially the forthright Aunt Seven, whose good impression of Nianfu was immediately replaced by full suspicion, "It's strange that you can make something so delicious with just a few eggs. Is there something shady in it?"

Father Shi was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, his whole body was shaking, and his head was buzzing. He tried his best to say something, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

At this time, Hou Xianglin stood up from the crowd, with an apologetic smile on his face, "There is a misunderstanding, maybe there is a similarity between people, brother, I have misunderstood. This Sister Mu is a guest invited by my family, and her grandfather is also my father's lifesaver."

How could my benefactor, who is the most innocent person, be involved in official misconduct?"

Is this a defense, or is it pushing people into the quagmire?

Nianfu's pretty face turned paler, and she looked straight at him with sharp eyes.

The male guest pointed out louder, "Yes, her surname is Mu! Her maiden name is Shi, and her father doesn't know who she is. The wife of the Mu family has always brought her daughter to live with her elders. There was a fire in her home a few years ago.

, the son and daughter-in-law ran away with their grandchildren. Later I heard that Mr. Hu proposed to her mother, but for some reason the mother and daughter got into a fight in the street during the Chinese New Year, and this girl accidentally injured Mr. Hu. That day in the court, but

There are several gentlemen who are vying to pay for this girl's sin. If you don't believe me, go and find out. Is this the case? This girl is so beautiful, no one who comes to see her will forget her."

"You...you wronged a good person!" Father Shi shook his hands and was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames! This is such a slander, and he wants to put his little granddaughter to death!

Yes. His family suffered a disaster, but his son and daughter-in-law ran away, which is unjust. But with this person’s ulterior motives, how will people think about their family tradition?

He also said that Nian Fu has no father. Doesn’t that mean that her origins are unknown? He also deliberately used vague terms and said that her mother and daughter had a fight in the street and accidentally injured Mr. Hu. Isn’t this saying that they were jealous? Finally, he said

What kind of young master is rushing to pay for it? Doesn’t this make the granddaughter’s crime more clear?

The more Father Shi thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was too much to explain. But he was older, and his mind became even more confused when he was excited, and he had no idea where to start.

Then Hou Xianglin replied, "Brother, today is my father's birthday party. Please don't get into trouble. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it in private."

Why didn't he even look at the time? Isn't this a disservice? Father Shi was even more anxious and was about to vomit blood. If he didn't explain clearly in front of everyone today, would he have to go to someone one by one to talk to him later?

?

What people say is terrible!

Father Shi struggled to stand up, but heard his granddaughter already speaking word by word.

"Uncle Hou, you don't have to be busy. I'll take care of my own business!" The girl walked out step by step with a white face.

Mrs. Hou signaled Aunt Hou to come forward and hold her, but Nianfu turned around and looked over. Those beautiful red and phoenix eyes actually had a dark and murderous look, forcing her back! She could only let her step forward and stare.

The man who spoke was not allowed to leave even half a step.

"Uncle, you said you saw me litigating with your own eyes, so you should have heard the whole lawsuit clearly. Why are you so confused and talking nonsense? I'm just the daughter of a small tofu seller. What's the point?

You took such great pains to come here to expose someone’s secrets? Could it be that someone instigated you?”

She glanced at Hou Xianglin's face without hesitation. Even though Hou Xianglin had been in the dust for decades, he was still a little unbearable at this moment.

"No!" The man denied it decisively, but asked provocatively, "Sister Mu, isn't what I said true?"

"Of course not." Nianfu raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "I filed a lawsuit, but it's not like you made the rumor. Uncle, since you said you saw it with your own eyes, then I would like to ask where your home is.

Where? Your surname? Did you happen to be passing by that day, or did you intend to watch?"

The man's eyes visibly flickered a few times, "Why are you asking these questions? Are you still not allowed to speak?"

"You have to be careful about how you say it! I would like to ask you fellow villagers, if someone framed your daughter and said some unfair words to ruin her reputation, what would you do?"

"Knock out his teeth first, and then report it to the official! Let's see how his tongue is pulled out!" Hou Fangyu stood next to Nian Fu with his fist raised, not seeing the flash of horror in his parents' eyes at all.

Nianfu stared at Hou Xianglin's eyes and refused to let go, "Brother Hou has said this, so I will boldly say it. First of all, I am not a child without a father. My father's name is Mu Shaoqin, and my father's name is Mu Shaoqin.

My mother is marrying a matchmaker with a marriage certificate. He was separated from my mother and daughter due to the war, but he is not without a place of origin!"

She turned to look at the man again, "Because you don't know who my father is, you say that I have no place to come from. If this is the case, I don't know you, let alone your father. How can I say that you are from the wilderness?"

Picked it up?"

The man was embarrassed, and everyone began to nod, feeling that what he just said was a bit rude. But what is this girl's lawsuit about?

Nianfu continued loudly, "My mother is a married woman, but Mr. Hu sent a matchmaker to come to her door to ask for her hand in marriage. If my mother is a money-loving person, it would be over if she agreed early, so why bother with it later?"

Is this lawsuit coming? If you don’t believe it, you can go to my house and ask if the matchmaker came to my door that day. Was it my mother who beat her out? My mother was obsessed with waiting for my father to come back. She had been waiting for more than ten years. Even if she didn’t

After praising her for her chastity, do you think she has to throw dirty water on her head just because that person surnamed Hu came to her door?"

"No!" Hou Fangyu continued to stand firmly on Nianfu's side, waving the flag and shouting for her.

And these words shocked many people present. Although the world has been stabilized, there are not a few couples who are separated due to war, or even marry each other. So when Nianfu said this, everyone was concerned about what happened to their mother and daughter.

Instead, he sympathized.

Hou Xianglin saw that the momentum was not right and wanted to say something, but Nianfu had already continued, "My family was hit by a disaster, and we couldn't rest during the Chinese New Year. Other families were staying in the house, having a family reunion with a stove, and I and I

But my mother had to get up early in the morning to grind beans, make tofu cakes and sell them on the street. I remember it snowed heavily on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was very cold when I woke up early on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The wind was like a knife.

Scratching people. My mother and I were shivering from the cold, but we still got up before dawn to grind beans. I pushed for a while, and my mother pushed for a while. Finally, I felt a little hot, but my feet were all rubbed.

The beans were soaked with water, and half of their bodies were frozen to the point of being wooden..."

When I read the blessing, my eyes became wet. Many people in the crowd who had lived a hard life were in tears. Father Shi was even more tearful. He was so distressed that he wished he could die immediately so that he would no longer be a drag on their mother and daughter.

Hou Fangyu's eyes turned red. He looked at the girl and saw the girl swallowing back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. She said proudly, "On that day, my mother and I had sold out the tofu, but we met Mr. Hu and his servants.

They came to pester us and wanted to take us mother and daughter back to the house. Of course my mother and I refused to comply and resisted desperately. At that time, we met the eldest son of the Ouyang family passing by. Seeing an injustice on the road, he kindly rescued us. In a panic,

During the period, I hit Mr. Hu with a stone, startling his horse, causing him to fall down and get injured. Later, he did not recover after several months of treatment, so Mr. Hu sued us, mother and daughter.

The county magistrate judged the case and sentenced me to an accidental injury. But because the fault was not mine, I was only fined to pay for some medicine. Because my family was poor and could not afford to pay for Mr. Hu's medicine, I was about to be punished, but Mr. Ouyang stood up and was willing to pay for Mr. Hu's medicine.

I paid the money. But I didn’t ask for it. Instead, my grandfather made the decision and borrowed five hundred taels of silver from the Hou family brother to complete the case. I want to ask everyone, am I wrong in doing this? If so.

When your wife and daughter encounter something like this, shouldn't they just keep quiet and go home with others, and then wait for you to come and look for them?"

Everyone was silent.

If I really have to wait for someone to look for it, the day lilies will be cold!

Just like Master Tang's sentence, everyone felt that what Nian Fu did was a correct action that conformed to the moral standards of this era. She desperately defended her and her mother's chastity, but in the process she accidentally missed and was seriously injured.

The man named Hu can only be said to be unlucky. Many people are actually thinking, why should such a beast be punished? He deserves to be beaten to death!

In the silence, Mrs. Hou suddenly spoke lightly, "So, you borrowed five hundred taels, why didn't you hear Yu'er mention it?"

"Mother——" Hou Fangyu was still immersed in the sad narration of praying for blessings and couldn't come back to his senses. He suddenly heard this question and became very angry. His mother usually seemed quite sensible, so why did she ask this question at this time?

this?

"Exactly!" Nianfu turned his head decisively and glanced at her with a slight contempt, "The IOU is already in Grandpa Hou's hand. If Madam doesn't believe it, you can go back and check it!

At this time, Father Shi finally calmed down, and his angry eyes moved from Hou Xianglin's face to Mrs. Hou's face, "It is indeed the IOU written this morning and handed over to Brother Hou in person. Just because these five

The amount of one hundred taels is too big, and we dare not agree on the repayment period. But here, in front of all the fathers and fellow villagers, I can put aside this debt, as long as my old man is still alive, my little granddaughter is still alive.

If you are here, our family will definitely recognize you! Even if we are all dead, as long as there are still great-grandchildren in the generation, we will never rely on your family for a penny!"

Mrs. Hou was so ashamed that she hated herself for mentioning this and humiliating herself. Hou Xianglin wanted to explain, but really didn't know what to say.

I saw that Father Shi had already raised his crutch and pointed at the man who had spread rumors and slander, with a face full of hatred, "When this man came, he confused right and wrong and talked nonsense. I also ask everyone to bear witness and help to take down this man."

Send him to the government for punishment!"

The man panicked, looked straight at Hou Xianglin, and finally shouted, "Master Hou!"

Everyone gasped, what did they call him for? Could it be that what happened today was actually a play written and directed by the Hou family? Then this thing was done too unethically, right? (To be continued.
