But a journey of fleeing from famine will really expose many human weaknesses.
After seeing the prosperity of the city again, she felt more and more restless in her heart. She even regretted more than once why she got pregnant, fearing that this child would hinder her from running towards happiness.
Thinking of this, Guo raised her hand and covered her lower abdomen.
Maybe it’s because she, as a mother, has never truly looked forward to the arrival of this child.
So the child eventually left her.
She had met too few men in her life and had no idea that a man's mouth was a lie.
Do you really think that all men are as honest and kind to her as Ye Laosi?
So when Wang Fugui started to speak sweet words to her, she quickly fell for him.
Wang Fugui is knowledgeable and can speak better than Ye Laosi, and he can also understand her little thoughts.
All this made her look down upon the honest and dull Ye Lao Si even more.
She thought she had met true love, but who knew it was just a gambler's greed for money.
The more she thought about it, the more tears welled up in her eyes.
She even remembered the chicken that Ye Laosi secretly left for her when they were fleeing from famine.
Guo smacked her lips, the taste of the chicken still seeming to resonate with her.
This is how her life will be. It's a pity for Ye Laosi to meet a woman like her.
Guo raised her hand to wipe away her tears, stood up, found a pair of scissors in the room, and stabbed herself in the abdomen.
She collapsed to the ground, blood flowing down the scissors onto her hands, and then slowly dyed the ground beneath her red.
The corners of Guo's lips curled up slightly. It turned out that people like her also had boiling blood!
In the teahouse, Ye Dongming was talking about the clan’s punishment of Guo.
"It must be sunk in the pond!" Ye Dongming said firmly, "Fourth Brother, don't feel reluctant.
"What good can come of a woman who is unfaithful to her husband and can run away with anyone at will?"
"Sinking the pond is a rule established by our ancestors to warn future generations not to make such mistakes."
Ye Laosi had seen women caught cheating by men when he was outside the Great Wall.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s difficult to find a wife outside the Great Wall, but most of them were severely beaten, dragged home to recover, and then continued to live their lives as usual.
It was the first time he knew that there were so many rules in the customs.
That's a living person, is he going to drown?
He licked his lips nervously, and after a while he asked in a dry voice, "What about Wang Fugui?"
Ye Dongming was not surprised by his question.
They were all men, so he could naturally understand Ye Laosi's feelings.
No one would feel good if they were cuckolded.
"Wang Fugui is not a member of our Ye family, and we can't control him.
"But he knocked your old lady unconscious and stole your money box and banknotes. If you were to report him to the authorities, he would surely be arrested and put in jail for several years.
"As for the rest..."
Ye Dongming’s meaning was very clear. This was the end of it, and there was no need to think about it any further.
Ye Laosi remained silent.
At this time, Nanny Jiang and Sister Ye came back from outside and conveyed Guo's intention.
Ye Dongming said angrily: "You have made a mistake and still have this attitude. How come you feel wronged?
"If we don't sink a person like this into the pond to warn the tribe, and everyone starts following her example, it will be chaos!"
Boss Ye turned his head to look at Old Fourth Ye and saw that although his eyes were red, he no longer had any intention of objecting.
And to be honest, since they have returned to their ancestral home, they naturally have to abide by the clan rules.
Otherwise, how can we live and gain a foothold here in the future?
So Ye Laodao said: "Then everything will be left to the clan leader..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard screaming and noise coming from the clinic next door.
The little medicine boy quickly ran over and shouted, "Oh no! Your patient who had a miscarriage has committed suicide!"
Suicide?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but it made sense after thinking about it.
Guo's reputation is now in tatters, and the Ye family will definitely not tolerate her. No one knows whether her family members are dead or alive, or where they are.
Rather than living for a few more days and then being drowned in public, it is better to end your own life and leave yourself a final dose of dignity.
Ye Dongming stood up and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to discuss this matter any further.
"But let me be clear, someone as unfaithful as her will never be buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb."
Ye Yun and Ye Sheng also nodded repeatedly and said: "This is against the rules."
Boss Ye bowed and said, "Don't worry, Clan Leader and the Two Elders. We understand. We are truly sorry to have troubled you all to come all this way. Once we have dealt with the matters here, we will return to apologize."
Hearing what Boss Ye said, Ye Dongming was very satisfied. He didn't come here for Guo's at all.
As long as the Ye family remembers his hard work, his trip will not be in vain.
He patted Boss Ye's shoulder and said, "Just rest assured and take care of this matter here before you go back. I will take care of your mother."
"Thank you, clan leader." Boss Ye hurriedly expressed his gratitude again.
After seeing off Ye Dongming and his group, Ye Lao Da and his two companions went to the clinic.
The clinic had already carried Guo's body out and placed it in the yard, covering it with a white cloth.
But the abdomen was already soaked in blood.
It can be seen how fiercely she stabbed the victim with the scissors. She had no intention of leaving herself any chance of survival.
After all, they were sisters-in-law. Although she didn't like Guo, seeing that she had lost her life at such a young age, Mrs. Ye still felt a little uncomfortable.
