The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

"Why?" Compared to Ms. Liu Junior, what Yang Dayong hated even more were the people of the Liu Family, because they not only ruined his home but also destroyed his mother.

"After all, there’s no evidence for this matter. Let’s not even mention whether Ms. Liu Junior will accuse her own family members. Even if she does, if her family firmly denies it, the county officer will have a hard time investigating. This is different from drugging someone or beating someone to death." Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and then asked, "Uncle Dayong, are you truly no longer willing to live well with Ms. Liu Junior, are you truly wanting the Liu Family to pay the price?"

If that was the case, even if the authorities couldn’t handle it, she could use her own methods to deal with the Liu Family, even though the means were not honorable.

"Of course I’m serious! The people of the Liu Family must not be let off. They are just too wicked!"

Yang Chuxia then nodded, "In that case, I understand. Uncle Dayong, you go ahead and send Ms. Liu Junior to report this to the officials. Leave the Liu Family to me."

"Alright!"

After their conversation, Yang Dachuan and his two brothers accompanied Yang Dayong to the county government office.

Yang Chuxia, on the other hand, went back home and sent Ye Yi to the gambling den.

Her way of handling things was direct, simple, and rough; she just gave the gambling den a sum of money and let them find a way to make Ms. Liu Junior’s brother sign a gambling debt. Originally, she planned to keep it to use against those who would scheme against her son, but now it seemed just as applicable in this situation.

Those people in the gambling den, what they loved doing most was to strip a family’s home bare, and alongside that, drag the family’s children away to be sold to pay off debts.

She had Ye Yi go and talk to the gambling den, telling them there was no need to drag away many people from his family, just Ms. Liu Junior’s brother, his wife, and their mother would suffice.

For such a large sum of money, it would surely take several people, wouldn’t it?

Hehe, Ms. Liu Junior’s brother didn’t even know about the existence of that gambling debt. If he did, his face would probably turn green with shock.

When Yang Dachuan and his group went to report to the officials and returned, it was already night.

County Magistrate Shen was an efficient person. Within two days, he sent someone to summon them for a court session.

Not only the Yang Family but also the Liu Family were summoned to the court.

Ms. Liu Junior was not someone who could withstand pressure, so without much intimidation, she confessed to everything. Initially, Ms. Liu Junior did not implicate her own family.

However, Yang Dayong did not give up and continued to accuse the Liu Family. Just as Yang Chuxia had speculated, the Liu Family indeed pushed all the blame onto Ms. Liu Junior.

Ms. Liu Junior was dumbfounded; she had not expected her own brother to be like this. It was surely they who had instructed her to act in that way. But now that there was trouble, they let her bear all the responsibility.

Ms. Liu Junior was unwilling to accept this and immediately turned around to recount everything the Liu Family had told her. However, the reality was cruel. Without the Liu Family’s admittance and any direct evidence, in the end, only Ms. Liu Junior was sentenced, and it was to death!

In ancient times, when women committed crimes, they bore harsher penalties, which was one form of unfairness. Especially in the case of a crime such as plotting against a mother-in-law or elder, which was deemed as one of the most egregious offenses. Therefore, she was sentenced to be executed after the autumn harvest!

With her daughter sentenced and her youngest son spared, Ms. Liu Junior breathed a sigh of relief.

What was a daughter? Merely a financial burden. Had it not been for her daughter’s opportunistic alliance with the Yang Family, she would not have given her a second glance. Now that she was gone, so be it.

However, what made her uncomfortable was how Ms. Liu Junior cursed as she was dragged away, which still left her feeling quite nauseated.

When she exited the county government office, Ms. Liu Junior took a long breath of relief.

Yang Chuxia watched, feeling somewhat amused. Relax, she thought, and hoped that she would still be able to relax after returning home.
