Jiang Ling looked at Old Lady Lu, who was sitting on the ground throwing a tantrum, as if watching a clown performance. She said calmly, "Just find a few people to carry her away. Of course, whether the village chief punishes Lu Youren or not is your Lu Family Village's business and has little to do with my Jiang family!"

The village chief was incredibly intelligent; how could he not understand the meaning behind Jiang Ling's words?

Previously at the county government office, if it weren't for Jiang Ling giving him face, Lu Youren would definitely have been in grave danger.

The village chief pointed at several strong men from Lu Family Village and said, "You lot, take Aunt Lu out! Lu Youren must be disciplined according to family rules!"

The village chief emphasized the word "please," and the men immediately understood what he meant. They surrounded Old Lady Lu.

The old woman, who had just been sitting on the ground wailing and crying, looked terrified. Before she could speak, the men hurriedly carried her out of the Lu family ancestral hall.

"Close the door!" Fearing that Old Lady Lu would continue to cause trouble, the village chief hurriedly ordered his two sons, Lu Chengcai and Lu Chengqian, to close the door of the ancestral hall.

Inside the gate, Lu Youren was being whipped by Village Chief Lu's two-finger-thick cowhide whip, howling incessantly.

Outside, Old Lady Lu was banging on the door frantically, occasionally cursing into it.

After a while, when Old Lady Lu realized that no one was paying attention to her, she stopped knocking and leaned against the door of the ancestral hall, panting heavily.

Suddenly, Old Lady Lu's eyes, which were the size of soybeans, twitched. She seemed to have thought of something, and she spat fiercely at the door before disappearing outside the Lu family ancestral hall.

Lu Youren fainted several times from being whipped, and each time he was woken up by being splashed with icy cold water.

The village chief finally finished delivering the hundred lashes and respectfully put the whip back in its place.

He turned to the crowd and said sternly, "From now on, anyone who spreads rumors or frames others will suffer this fate!"

At this point, Lu Youren was almost completely mangled, and the bloody whip marks on his body intimidated everyone in the Lu family ancestral hall.

They all nodded and replied quietly, "Understood!"

"Alright, you guys go back and eat first. Today we'll continue digging potatoes in the back mountain!" The village chief waved for everyone to leave.

Jiang Ling also pulled Jiang Yaojie along, and walked with the others towards their home. Little did she know that a catastrophe was about to befall her.

"Yaojie, don't tire yourself out on the way up the mountain. I already told you I'm here, you definitely won't..."

"Aunt Jiang, Aunt Jiang, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! Your Wenxi is injured!"

Before Jiang Ling could finish speaking, Zhao Dabao ran up to her breathlessly, looking anxious.

"What? What happened to Wenxi?" Jiang Ling almost panicked when she heard the words "Wenxi is injured." She pinched her thigh hard, trying to calm herself down with the pain!

"Grandma Lu...Grandma Lu was so fierce just now, she kept scolding Suihe and Wenxi, and Suihe was so scared that she cried, Grandma Lu..."

Jiang Ling could no longer hear what Zhao Dabao was saying behind her. She grabbed Jiang Yaojie and ran frantically toward their house.

Fortunately, the Lu family ancestral hall was not too far from her home. When she ran to the end, she found that her courtyard was already surrounded by a lot of people, all of whom were whispering among themselves.

"Suihe! Wenxi!!" Jiang Ling pushed through the crowd and rushed in.

"Mother... Sister... Sister has fainted!" When Jiang Suihe saw her mother appear, she quickly picked up her sister and ran towards Jiang Ling's direction.

Whether it was because Jiang Suihe was too weak or because she was too anxious, she tripped and fell to the ground after running only a few steps.

Jiang Suihe was worried that she would hurt her younger sister, so she didn't let go of her sister's arms, and her own arm scraped hard on the ground.

"Suihe! Wenxi!" Jiang Ling was really anxious this time. She frowned and ran to her two daughters in three steps.

Jiang Wenxi's forehead was bleeding and her eyes were closed. Jiang Suihe's outer arms were almost entirely scraped, with bright red blood dripping from the wounds onto the ground, and visible dirt on the wounds.

The sight of the two children in such a disheveled state completely panicked Jiang Ling. Her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say. She could only look helplessly at the crowd around her.

"A doctor! Quick! Go and fetch a doctor!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and Jiang Ling snapped out of her daze. With all her might, she shouted through her trembling lips, "A doctor! Yes, a doctor! Yaojie, go and fetch a doctor back!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaojie quickly pushed through the crowd and ran outside.

Jiang Ling held the unconscious Jiang Wenxi in one arm and held the bleeding Jiang Suihe by the other, her eyes wide with fury as she looked at the crowd.

When the gaze fell on Old Lady Lu, she quickly shrank back and turned to leave.

"Lu Li Shi! If you dare to step out of my house now, I'll fucking kill you today!" Jiang Ling glared angrily, and everyone gasped when they saw her current appearance.

Strangely enough, Old Lady Lu, who was usually fearless, was now unable to move, as if her body was filled with lead.

Jiang Ling, leading her two daughters, walked up to Old Lady Lu and said fiercely, "Speak! If you can't explain yourself clearly today, I'll tear your mouth to shreds!"

Although Old Lady Lu was frightened, she still stubbornly pretended to be indifferent and said, "Jiang, what's wrong with you! Who gave you permission to call me that? You have no manners!"

Jiang Ling was furious when she heard this. She let go of Jiang Suihe's hand, clenched her fist, and punched Old Lady Lu in the face.

"What's wrong now?"

"Jiang! You! Stop!" The village chief pushed through the crowd with a suspicious look on his face and saw Jiang Ling punching Old Lady Lu. The village chief quickly stopped her.
