Zhou Shuigen nodded, "Since both parties want to divorce, there is no way. Let's negotiate the division of the property that is required for the divorce!"

Lu Ashui took out a list, "This is our divorce request. In addition to the Fan family returning the original betrothal gift of 200 taels of silver, Fan Tieniu's expenses for eating and drinking at the Lu family, a total of 300 taels of silver in four years, a total of 500 taels of silver. Please ask the Fan family to return it, and this marriage can be cancelled."

Fan Tongzhong also took out a list, "This is the list of things my third brother does for the Fan family. From the first to the third year, one hundred acres of land were planted every year, and two hundred acres of land were planted in the fourth year, totaling five hundred acres of land, with a minimum annual net income of one acre of land. In addition, there are also house repairs, transportation of goods, digging canals, feeding cattle, mowing grass, and chopping wood. These things can be equivalent to two hundred staples of money, and the Lu family should pay my third brother seven hundred staples of money."

Mr. Lu couldn't help but whisper: "Tieniu lives in my house every day, and it costs ten cents a day, which is 150 sig per day. There are also clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, copper basins, hot water costs, etc., which are 50 sig per day.

In addition, my daughter married him for four years and could not get married again in the future. She would have to compensate at least 500 stags of money, which would add up to 1,200 stags. How do you calculate this money?"

Fan Tongzhong shouted again: "My third brother ate only steamed buns and pickled vegetables at your house. He only needs to eat meat for ten days and half a month. How could he have five hundred stagnants of money?"

An aunt from the Lu family jumped out, "Oh! You have to be conscientious when speaking! Last time I went to my brother's house, I saw the iron cow eating ducks with my own eyes. I tell you, he didn't even eat duck heads and ducks, and he actually ate the whole duck alone."

Another woman said, "Tieniu likes to drink old wine. My brother bought him the best rice wine, which costs 200 cents a bottle, and he has to drink more than one bottle a day."

Fan Tieniu squatted on the ground and pulled his hair, whispering in pain: "I don't have one!"

At this time, Zhou Shuigen waved his hand, "I can't explain this kind of dispute. We should ask the gentry to judge and see who makes sense."

Zhao Yuanwai, among the gentry, spoke first, "The villagers in the countryside are all shameless and I believe they won't tell lies. Mr. Lu is rich and kind to others. He will not eat all the steamed buns even if he hires a small worker, let alone treats his son-in-law. So? The Fan family said it a bit too much, and I think the Lu family should be rational."

Mr. Li also took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "I say a few fair words. I think Fan Tieniu is very strong and should eat well. However, I think it is almost the same for two hundred ciders per bottle of old wine every time. It is unlikely to drink it every day. He should drink a hundred cider a day.

In addition, Fan Tieniu has a large amount of rice and eats a lot, three meals a day. I estimate that the food cost of about 300 cents a day is more reasonable. Of course, Fan Tieniu's efforts must also be considered. I think the expenses of the last 300 cents are more reasonable."

Wang Yuanwai also said: "The two former officials are right. I also think that 300 guan is about the same. With the original betrothal gift, it is reasonable for the Lu family to ask for 500 taels of silver."

Zhou Shuigen smiled, "Since the conclusion of the three gentry has come out, let's make it like this! The Fan family paid the Lu family 500 taels of silver, and this marriage will be separated."

If the gentry determines the result and the loser is still unwilling to accept it, it will report to the official. The government will not retrial. It will directly treat it as a troublemaker and be arrested in prison, and then auction the property to the winner.

So when he heard this, Fan Dachuan's face turned dark. He could not afford five hundred taels of silver. The bottom of his box was only one hundred taels of silver, which was his coffin book.

If he doesn't accept it, he will auction the land, 500 taels of silver, which will be 60 acres of land! He only has 80 acres of land in total, and their family will go bankrupt.

Not only Fan Dachuan was not only a shady face, but the other three Fan brothers were all in a daze. Even if everyone raised money, they could not get five hundred taels of silver.

"Dalang, can you take some out?" Fan Dachuan asked in a hoarse voice.

Fan Tongzhong quickly added: "The second brother's family is in good condition, so I can help the third brother!"

Fan Tiezhou and Fan Tiege looked at each other, and both shook their heads. Dozens of taels of silver can be used, but how can they take out hundreds of taels of silver? Even if there is one, their wife will never agree.

Fan Dachuan knew very well that his two sons could not afford it, so he had to look at the patriarch and begged: "Dazhi, please say a few words!"

Fan Dazhi smiled bitterly. What else can he do? Fan Dachuan himself agreed to mediation today. Seeing that mediation was not good for him, he wanted to overthrow it. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

He had no choice but to sigh and said, "Second brother, if you really can't do it, just sell the land!"

Fan Dachuan was helpless and had to talk to Mr. Lu: "Why do we have a good discussion?"

Mr. Lu was really proud of himself. He pretended to be: "Actually, I like Tie Niu very much. If the Fan family really doesn't want to divorce, it's okay, but we have to set a few rules. Everyone will do things according to the rules in the future. Tie Niu will still be my son-in-law. What do you think about the in-laws?"

Just as Fan Dachuan was about to agree, a clear voice came from outside, "Mr. Lu said it well, we must all follow the rules!"

Everyone turned around and saw a young man walking in outside, followed by a young lady and a rich old man.

Behind is a very tall woman, carrying a long sword, like an iron tower.

The aunts and aunts in the yard were immediately talking, and they were all staring at the tall woman behind. In their eyes, such a tall woman was simply a monster.

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, "Who is this little official?"

"I am also a member of the Fan family, and Iron Niu is my third uncle."

At this moment, Zhou Shuigen's eyes suddenly widened, and he recognized the rich old man.

He was so scared that he ran forward and bowed repeatedly, "I don't know that the villain is guilty of being a great official Zhu! He is guilty!"

The three villagers also realized that it was Zhu Daguan Ren from Mudu Town. This is the richest man in Pingjiang Prefecture. In front of him, the three of them can only be regarded as little ants.

The three of them hurriedly ran forward and bowed, "I have long admired the name of the great official!"

Zhu Yuanfu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Everyone is a fellow villager. Don't be so polite. I just come here to join in the fun."

Zhu Pei next to him joined in the fun, and the two families had a divorce and had a dispute. How could she miss such an interesting thing? She insisted on following her.

Zhu Pei smiled and said, "It's so boring to stand. Grandfather, let's sit down!"

Zhou Shuigen reacted and hurried back to the lobby to bring a chair, wiped the chair with her sleeve and smiled, "Prince Zhu, please sit down!"

Zhu Yuanfu sat down with a smile, and Zhou Shuigen brought another chair to Zhu Pei, "Little Yanei, please sit down!"

Zhu Pei sat down with a swagger and waved to Fanning, "Little A-Dai, stand next to me!"

Fanning glared at her, but had no choice but to stand beside her. He whispered and said, "I'll settle the score with you in the future."

"You dare!"

Zhu Pei snorted and said proudly: "You are begging me now!"

"Peer, stop making trouble."

Zhu Yuanfu smiled and said to his granddaughter. He looked up and saw the patriarch Fan Dazhi, "Oh! Dazhi is here too."

Fan Dazhi smiled and saluted, "If I had known that the great official was coming, why would I have come to do?"

"You can't say that. You are the patriarch, of course you have to come. But I was dragged by this little friend, so I can't help it."

Zhu Yuanfu's words shocked everyone present, and countless eyes looked at Fan Ning. Who is this Shaolang? How could he actually give him face to Master Zhu like this?

The Fan family father and son finally recovered from their shock.

No matter how bad Fan Dachuan was, he knew who Zhu Yuanfu was. He stared at Fan Tiezhou with wide eyes, "Dalang, are you hiding something from me?"

Fan Tiezhou's face was bitter, "Dad, I don't know what's going on?"

"You bastard, I'll settle the score with you when I go back!"
