Hu Chunsheng called Hu Lin by her name, which was equivalent to putting her on the same level as himself.
Hu Lin's position in this family was finally established at this time.
"That won't do. I've had enough of the oppression. From now on, I will definitely take revenge and show no mercy. You'd better not fall into my hands."
What Hu Lin said meant that he agreed not to divorce or separate the family, and at the same time he also warned everyone in the Hu family.
"It's just that the Hu family hasn't given us an explanation for what happened today. Once the person who stole the food is punished, today's incident can be put to rest."
Her goal from the beginning to the end was to punish the cheating person, and filing for divorce and separation was just to sow the seeds.
When the seeds grow into lush branches and leaves, it is time for her to take action.
Hu Chunsheng had already weighed the pros and cons and had already made up his mind. He immediately said, "Whoever stole the food, please stand up."
No one dared to touch the Hu family.
"I'll count to three. If you don't stand up, don't blame me for severely punishing you."
Hu Lin found a stool for himself and sat next to Li Aihua.
Li Aihua held Hu Lin's hand, drawing strength from it that made her feel at ease.
"Three, two—"
Before Hu Chunsheng finished reading, three people knelt down in the room. They were all from the second wife.
The ones who cheated were the couple from the second room and the youngest son Hu Fu.
When their eldest son saw his relatives kneeling down, he was shocked and felt ashamed.
The couple's expressions at this moment were full of real regret and they burst into tears. They no longer had the domineering and overbearing look they usually had.
I spent the whole day hunting geese, and the geese pecked my eyes.
They were completely screwed today, and their usual protectors were also upset. Now even the head of the family, Hu Chunsheng, can't protect them.
"It seems like the thief is crying "Stop thief!" Uncle and aunt, you are so good at singing opera, why haven't you thought about joining an opera troupe to make a living?" Hu Lin said sarcastically.
"Dad, we were confused for a moment, really. We were too tired from work today, so we just wanted to eat more.
Thinking that my sister-in-law and the little girl can't eat much on weekdays, I got bold for a moment, please forgive us this time."
Hu Guangjie and his wife were still quibbling, but Hu Fu said nothing.
"Three steamed buns are enough for other people, why do you have such a big appetite?
Are you tired at work?
Why did I hear from the neighbors that my uncle and aunt like to cut corners? Did I hear it wrong? "
Hu Lin broke through their dying struggles one by one.
Gao Ruqiong watched and laughed secretly. Hu Jirui pulled her clothes to remind her to be careful.
None of the three children from the fourth room dared to speak. They were all so shocked by the previous scene that their brains crashed.
"Hu Lin, how do you think we should punish them?"
Hu Lin had been making trouble for so long, Hu Chunsheng naturally knew that she would not let them go so easily.
He ignored the second wife's meaningless pleas and passed the buck to Hu Lin, letting her be the bad guy.
"The production team is currently planting rice these days, so it's a busy time, so it's not a good idea to impose too heavy a penalty.
If I can't go to work, my family will lose another source of income."
"Yes, yes, you are right, it is a busy time."
The couple climbed up the pole, smiling ingratiatingly.
"Then let's each give each of them fifty strokes of the cane. My dad will carry out the execution. Is that ok?" Hu Lin took a sip of water and teased the two of them lightly.
When they heard the number of fifty strokes of the cane, they both froze in place.
"You little bitch, you're playing tricks on us." Sun Fangfen was furious.
"Or tomorrow when you go to work and take roll call, tell your neighbors what you did today, and you won't have to take fifty lashes."
Hulin gave them another choice.
But this option is worse than not having it. Let them ruin the reputation of the Hu family. Even if they dare to say so, the old couple will not let them go in the future.
Hu Chunsheng did not expect Hu Lin to do this. He just shut his mouth and made him unable to beg for mercy and had nothing to say.
The people from the second house must receive these fifty strokes of the cane.
"Fifty strokes of the cane. I definitely won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow." Hu Guangjie simply acted helpless.
"Don't worry, I won't let you just lie at home and eat for free. I don't think you want to hold the Hu family back, right?"
The couple treated Hu Lin harshly and were not in a good mood.
"Dad, come here." Hu Lin looked at Hu Xiaoyi, who was listless and immersed in his own world.
Hu Xiaoyi walked towards Hu Lin with a complicated expression. Hu Lin stood up on the chair and said something in Hu Xiaoyi's ear.
After hearing this, Hu Xiaoyi looked at Hu Lin.
"Do you understand?" Hu Lin was afraid that Hu Xiaoyi, a brainless man, wouldn't even understand such a simple question, so he patiently asked again.
Hu Xiaoyi nodded.
She found a bench, placed it in the middle of the hall, and looked at Hu Guangjie, "Lie down."
Hu Guangjie glanced at his elder brother who had become a little unfamiliar, and lay down on him obediently.
Hu Xiaoyi picked up the board that Cao Zhaodi used to beat people and hit Hu Guangjie on his butt again and again.
Hu Guangjie howled loudly in pain, crying out to the sky.
After spanking Hu Guangjie twenty-five times, Hu Xiaoyi asked him to stand up again.
Hu Guangjie hesitated for a moment, then thought the punishment was over, and stood up, holding his buttocks.
"Stand up straight." Hu Xiaoyi stood in front of Hu Guangjie with a board in his hand.
"What?"
Hu Guangjie was puzzled, and no one in the hall understood.
"Stand up straight." Hu Xiaoyi didn't explain and asked Hu Guangjie to stand up straight again.
Hu Guangjie saw that Hu Xiaoyi had a square face and was expressionless, which was quite intimidating, so he stood up straight with some fear.
Hu Xiaoyi was hit on the stomach with a stick, and he immediately bent over in pain.
"Twenty-four more."
"You bitch, are you crazy? Your stomach is such a fragile place, what if it gets hurt? I think you don't want our family to go to work!"
Hu Guangjie looked at Hu Lin with a ferocious face.
"How could that be? Don't worry, Uncle. I won't give you this chance." Hu Lin smiled and said, "Go on."
"Dad, please don't show mercy. You know what they did now."
Gao Ruqiong was afraid of scaring the children, so she took the three children back to the house.
Twenty-five times in a row, Hu Guangjie screamed in agony.
Cao Zhaodi woke up slowly and heard Hu Guangjie's screams. She was about to stop him but was held down by Hu Chunsheng, so that she had to witness the following punishment.
Hu Lin saw it but didn't say much.
The old woman did not participate in today's events and escaped a disaster. What she did in the past was at most to mistreat her daughter-in-law, which did not shake the foundation of the Hu family and did not cause Hu Chunsheng to abandon her.
Her matter needs further consideration.
Just let her watch her minions being punished, which will serve as a warning to others.
Given the old woman's character, such a blatant slap in the face has made her lose face. I'm sure she will be given a surprise in the future.
