Bai Shan directly shook his head, sighed, "I'm too busy."
Zhou Man originally wanted to say that he was busy, but when he thought of something, he immediately said happily: "I have a long rest, maybe I can go."
Bai Shan turned to look at her, "When will you take a long rest?"
Zhou Man: "Chinese New Year."
Bai Shan was hit and said: "Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with me?"
Yin or lowered his head and drank the soy milk calmly. When he looked up, the two had already discussed the result and made a compromise with each other. Then he nodded and said: "Okay, it would be nice for us to go and live together for a while."
Zhou Man also invited Xiaoqian, "When the time comes, call Shang Liwei's wife and sister-in-law to go with us."
Speaking of Zhou Liwei, Xiao Qian remembered to ask, "How are Liwei and the others at the salt field?"
While eating, Bai Shan said: "It's all right, everything is going well in the salt field."
"When will the two of them come back and have a look, or should I go and see them?"
Zhou Man glanced at his sister-in-law, rolled his eyes, and immediately turned to look at Bai Shan, "Next time you go to Dajiawa, take your sister-in-law to see it together?"
Bai Shanxin understood, and replied "Yes" with a smile, "Sister-in-law has been in Beihai County for so long, hasn't she seen the sea?"
Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I haven't seen it before, but it's not urgent. Manbao is still young, and I will take care of the baby for a while after the baby is born. I have plenty of time. I will go when I have a chance."
The family was chatting and joking, Xibing quickly walked in, saluted and said, "Lady, something happened at the medical office."
Zhou Man was taken aback, and quickly asked: "What happened, is there an emergency?"
Put down the chopsticks while talking and stand up.
"It's not an emergency. A man came. He said it was Hu Dalang's father, who was making trouble at the entrance of the medical office. He said that Hu Dalang was unfilial. Old man Fei didn't dare to let him in. He was afraid of disturbing the patients living in the medical office, so he was at the door. Rolling around and refusing to get up after saying anything, it attracted a lot of people to watch the excitement."
Zhou Man sat back down again, picked up his chopsticks and picked up another steamed stuffed bun, "That's okay, report it to the county government. It's related to public security. This matter is under the jurisdiction of the county government."
Xibing looked at Bai Shan who was sitting on the side, aren't they all from the same family
Zhou Man took a bite of the bun and looked up at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan could only call a servant, and said to him: "Go to Mr. Cui, ask Mr. Cui to go to County Captain Dong, let the two of them deal with it."
The servants responded and left.
Although someone had already gone, Zhou Man still speeded up his meal, put down his chopsticks in less than a quarter of an hour, drank half a bowl of soy milk, and got up, "I'll go and have a look."
Bai Shan thought for a while, then simply said: "I'll go and have a look with you."
Yin or then followed.
The people at the gate of the medical office did not disperse, nor did they arrest Father Hu, but he did not dare to cry any more.
Dong Xianwei surrounded him with two yamen servants, and was preaching to him, "This is the medical office, where are you supposed to be, let you make trouble?"
Hu Dazhu's hair was disheveled, and his clothes were also very messy. He looked like a refugee beggar, with a beard all over his face and only one pair of eyes exposed. In front of County Captain Dong, he didn't dare to cry, but he still argued: "But The medical department won't let me in, and won't let my son and daughter out, I can't see anyone, so that's all I can do."
He said: "My lord, the medical department has been treating my mother-in-law for several months, but they haven't come home. Now I want to see them, but I won't allow them. Is the medical department treating them, or detaining them to work here? "
Dong Xianwei frowned. He didn't know the situation of this family, but could he still not know the situation of the medical department
The medical department has been doing loss-making business all the time, just like Yushantang. It was opened by His Majesty and Empress who love the poor. How could it be possible to do such a thing
"Who is in your family at the medical office, what is the name of the mother-in-law, and what is the name of the son?"
"It's me!" Without waiting for Hu Dazhu to speak, a young man came out from the half-opened door of the medical office. Although his face was a little pale, he still walked up to Lieutenant Dong and said with an uneasy expression, "I am his son. This matter has nothing to do with the medical department."
As soon as Hu Dazhu saw him, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and asked with an ugly face: "It's fine for you to run out alone, but you even brought your younger brothers and sisters with you. You haven't been home for several months, and you don't know how to go back and see..."
Hu Dalang tore off his hand with all his strength, and glanced at him contemptuously, "I told you before going out that I brought my mother to the medical office for five months, and you haven't come to see us, have you? "
"Nizi, you stole all the family's money, and if I don't harvest millet at home to do farm work, will the whole family starve to death?"
Hu Dalang blushed and shouted, "I didn't steal it! You just took away the money I had saved privately."
"Fart, what do you do with the few pennies you saved? You still take your younger siblings with you. If you don't steal the money from the family, why do you live in the county? Now the family has no money because of paying taxes. You have to Give me the stolen money, or the family will not be able to survive..."
"You lied, I didn't steal money at all!"
"How dare you say you didn't steal it?" Hu Dazhu raised his hand and was about to beat him, but Zhou Man stood far away with his back supported, and shouted, "Fighting is not allowed here."
Seeing Zhou Man and Bai Shan coming, Dong Xianwei quickly stopped Hu Dazhu, Hu Dazhu couldn't help jumping, "I hit my son."
Zhou Man sighed at Bai Shan, "It seems that there is still a long way to go for enlightenment."
Bai Shan: ...
Dong Xianwei felt that their county magistrate was being ridiculed by the departmental order. Although they belonged to the same family, he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he immediately reached out and grabbed Hu Dazhu, and shouted: "What about your son? Father won't allow it either." Beat your son at will!"
Although he only slapped his own son last night, Dong Xianwei still said righteously: "Didn't you say that I am not allowed to beat my son?"
"It's only natural for me to beat my son!"
Lieutenant Dong Xian also felt that it was a matter of course, but the beatings were not justified, and a light pat like a teaching was fine. It was really not a matter of course if he was forced to kill and set fire like Jia Dalang in Dajing Village.
Seeing the distorted and angry look on Hu Dazhu's face, Zhou Man couldn't help telling him nonsense, "Do you know who he is?"
Hu Dazhu's hands were pressed behind him, and he had to work hard to see Bai Shan. He really wanted to say that he didn't know, but they seemed to be all officials, so he didn't dare.
Zhou Man said, "He is the magistrate of Beihai County's parents, Guanbai County."
Hu Dazhu looked at Bai Shan in surprise.
Zhou Man said with a smile: "He is your parent and official, let's count your parents. If it is natural for me to beat my son, then is it natural for him to beat you?"
Hu Dazhu: "...not relatives."
Zhou Man: "Naturally and righteously refers to righteousness, and it is not based on blood relationship. If you say the four words "natural and righteous", be careful that your parents beat you for no reason."
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "Nonsense, is this officer such an unreasonable person?"
Zhou Man nodded, "Forget it, then let's talk about some reasons, Hu Dalang is your son, you came at the right time, and settle the bill from the medical office."
