Although Mr. Chu's family was sentenced to exile, they could not leave immediately. They were temporarily imprisoned together in the county government prison.
If you think of Grandpa Chu's family, he himself did not commit any serious crimes, but was exiled because of being implicated by criminals in his family. When he was temporarily imprisoned in a cell, the officials generally would not be too harsh. If relatives and friends wanted to send some food and clothing, that would be fine. OK.
No matter how partial Chu Grandpa and Chu Grandma were, they were the biological parents of Third Uncle Chu. After much hesitation, he still bought some thick winter clothes and sent Ding An to the prison, which was considered as fulfilling his filial piety. Read the book
Speaking of filial piety, we have to mention Chu Fang who still lives in the village.
The news that Chu Ren was sentenced to be executed by the Queen of Autumn, and that Mr. Chu’s family was exiled thousands of miles away, was a letter sent by Chu’s third uncle to Jiang Quanbao, hoping to ask Chu Fang to come and see him again before leaving.
But who would have thought that Chu Fang's reaction after hearing the news was completely opposite to what Chu Sanshu expected.
Chu Fang didn't recognize Jiang Quan. At first, Jiang Quan said he was here to deliver a message for Third Uncle Chu, and thought he was a liar from somewhere. But judging from his clothes, this man was more than a little better than his own. What did you deceive yourself from?
It wasn't until he heard the whole story that he exclaimed with shock on his face: "What? Chu Ren wants to be executed by Qiu Hou? Are my grandpa, grandma, and father and mother sentenced to exile?"
Jiang Quan nodded and continued: "Yes, the third uncle of the Chu family asked me to come and let you know. They will probably set off after the new year. You can still go and see them while they are still in the county jail. Then give some food and clothing to the elders."
After hearing this, Chu Fang was silent for a moment and asked: "They have all been arrested, what about the things at home? It's not that I bought a house in the county. Chu Ren has become an official, so he should have a lot of money, right? Let’s all tell Chu Yi’s unscrupulous couple to take it away, why are they so embarrassed!”
Jiang Quan looked at the woman dressed as a peasant woman in front of him, with only greed and resentment on her face. This resentment was not because her brothers and elders had been sentenced to heavy sentences, but because she felt that the money had been taken away by others!
How could Jiang Quan tolerate Chu Fang slandering his cousin and sister-in-law? He loudly interrupted her imagination and said: "My cousin and sister-in-law are not that kind of people. Not to mention that all the property of Chu Ren's family has been confiscated. Without them, I would never have gotten a penny, so they look down on Chu Ren’s dirty money from corruption and bribery!”
Chu Fang was taught a few words by Jiang Quan, and she felt unhappy. She slammed the courtyard door with a bang, and then heard her mutterings coming from the courtyard.
"You've already confiscated it and why are you telling me what to do? When they were so popular and popular, why didn't they remember that I was also the daughter of the Chu family. I received so many gifts after winning the imperial examination. I didn't have a penny, so the whole family moved to the county seat. Enjoy, who reminds me of Chu Fang?
When my family Ma Wu was in trouble, I just wanted to get some money. Didn't they say I was the Ma family's daughter-in-law? Now that something happened to the person named Chu, what does it have to do with me, the daughter-in-law of the Ma family?
You don't have any money, and you still expect me to send them food and clothing? Go ahead and dream! "
Grandpa Chu's house in the county town was confiscated. Fortunately, Mrs. Li temporarily deposited all the money she had quietly saved in advance with Shen Luzhu. Before she returned to the village with her mother-in-law and three children, she specially I came to the east courtyard of the Chu family.
In the Chu family's paper money shop, Shen Luzhu handed the box that Li used to store money back to her. Li looked at it and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "In the early years, I didn't know why I always looked at you. It’s very unpleasant, but now I’m thankful to you for giving me a hand.”...
Although the two of them worked together to bring down Chu Ren, whether it was the things in the past or the fact that Li had bitten Chu Ren, Shen Luzhu didn't want to have much interaction with Li. It seemed a bit unkind to think about it. After all, it was them who benefited from this matter in the end, but she really couldn't like Mrs. Li.
"It's all over, let's live a good life from now on."
