The chilling air made it clear that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Fu Jincheng, Fu Xiuchen, and Fu Ziyi all looked at him.
Xiao Jinhan looked directly into his mother's eyes without flinching.
"Fourth brother, you should be punished even more."
Xiao Jinhan: "Mm."
Fu Jincheng curled his lips into a playful smile, a faint hint of amusement in his phoenix eyes.
This is the famous scene of a mother-in-law scolding her son-in-law.
Fu Xiuchen was somewhat worried, feeling that the fourth brother hadn't done anything wrong in this matter.
Actually, the fourth brother was dragged into this mess by his three brothers. With the former's sister in the picture, he had no choice but to accept it.
After all, he didn't know at first that Yao'er was their sister.
Fu Ziyi also frowned. He hadn't even heard about his own punishment yet, but he was already worried about his fourth brother.
Qiao Yanzhi slowly spoke: "I have missed my daughter for twenty years. I haven't even had a chance to say a proper word to her before you made her your fiancée. Not only did I lose a son, but I also lost my daughter."
Xiao Jinhan understood what she meant.
The daughter became the daughter-in-law.
The son became the son-in-law.
"It's just that our identities have changed. You are still our mother. I will discuss with Sixteen about arranging a wedding room in the old house. After we get married, we will come home to stay often."
Qiao Yanzhi: "..."
As expected of the meticulous fourth sister, she resolved her earlier statement in an instant.
She worried that once the two got married and moved out, their daughter wouldn't have a chance to be properly cared for before their son was gone.
There is nothing worse than this.
His words put her at ease; at least, the two children wouldn't run away.
But this will not be a reason for him to escape punishment.
"Whether you get married or not is a matter for later. You secretly made a life-altering promise with my daughter without telling me, your mother. You're also part of Zangmei's family. Considering your promise just now, the punishment of one hundred strokes of the cane will be reduced to fifty. Do you have any objections? Do you accept it or not?"
Xiao Jinhan: "...No objection."
His mother had always doted on him, and he had never been flogged fifty times when he was a child. This time, she was really furious.
Fu Jincheng, who had just been watching the show, suddenly changed his attitude. He felt sorry for his fourth son, but there was nothing he could do. In the Fu family, his mother's words were law, and even his father dared not disobey.
"Fu is three years old!"
Fu Ziyi: "..."
He never really liked the nickname his mother gave him, but he only disliked it in his heart and didn't dare to show it.
“I’ve told you since you were little that your sister is your sister, not just one of your sisters. Your selfishness and thoughts are truly despicable!”
Fu Ziyi nodded: "I'm sorry, Mom, we were wrong."
If he could turn back time, he would still choose to repeat the same mistake.
At least, the time I spent with my sister was truly happy.
Qiao Yanzhi: "Considering that you protected Yao'er after she recognized you, and that you have made a contribution, if you take advantage of your age, you will be punished twice as severely next time you have such selfish intentions."
Fu Ziyi's punishment was the most severe he had ever received. He was somewhat apprehensive: "Mom, Fourth Brother is also very good to Little Sister. Your punishment is too harsh. I can help him share the burden, so..."
Qiao Yanzhi interrupted him unhappily: "If you don't want to double it, shut up. I'm the one who gave everyone the punishment. There's no such thing as sharing it."
Fu Ziyi stopped talking.
If he speaks up for Fourth Brother again, not only will his pay double, but Fourth Brother's pay might also double again.
"Ode to Qin".
Qin Song nodded: "Madam."
Qiao Yanzhi gave the order: "Beat them! Beat them hard! Show no mercy!"
"yes."
They were beaten one by one.
Let's start with Fu Ziyi.
Qin Song struck down with the stick, clenching his teeth.
Fu Ziyi, who exercises regularly, felt his internal organs trembling, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat from the pain.
The other three brothers frowned slightly upon seeing this, feeling sorry for the sixth brother, but then they realized that now, the brothers were truly sharing weal and woe.
Fu Ziyi clenched his fists in pain, enduring the agony, his eyes reddening.
They endured it all without uttering a sound.
Finally, the twenty strokes were finished.
Fu Ziyi's entire back and legs were covered in injuries, and blood was seeping out.
Fu Jincheng's phoenix eyes were unusually wide open as he looked at the spots of blood on the back of his white shirt.
In the days to come, I probably won't need to get out of bed at all.
Lost in thought.
Qin Song struck down with a stick.
It felt like my skin was being torn open.
Having not been beaten for over a decade, he had almost forgotten the taste of pain. He gasped and let out a muffled groan.
After being hit ten times, he was in so much pain that he almost fainted. He could barely speak, and he could only manage to utter a few words through clenched teeth: "Uncle Qin, your strength is truly... as good as ever! Just like back then!"
Another blow struck him, causing him to cough violently several times.
This punishment is truly horrible.
Qiao Yanzhi looked at the blood on Lao Liu's body. He had been beaten when he was a child, but she had always told Qin Song to go easy on him. They were just kids, and she didn't want to cripple them.
Now that I'm older, I don't need to reduce my effort anymore.
I truly understand the saying: "The pain of hitting a child is felt in one's own heart."
Several times I wanted to tell Qin Song to stop, but I felt that if these brats weren't taught a lesson, they might do such selfish things again in the future.
If we don't give Yao'er a good beating, how can we face her other brothers?
After finishing with Fu Jincheng, Qiao Yanzhi spoke up: "Qin Song, let's stop for a moment!"
Seeing this, Fu Ziyi thought: Could it be that Mother felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to hit him?
However……
"You rest for ten minutes to save your energy, drink some water, and make sure the blows you deliver to the young masters are just as heavy as the blows you give them. Not a single blow will be light."
Qin Song nodded. He was indeed getting old; he was tired after fighting two young masters.
Thinking back to more than ten years ago, I could beat up fifteen young masters in one go without even blinking.
Fu Ziyi: "..."
Fu Jincheng: "..."
Fu Xiuchen and Xiao Jinhan, who hadn't been beaten yet: "..."
A poisonous spider is still a poisonous spider.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Qin Song picked up the stick and continued.
Fu Xiuchen endured the pain and continued kneeling.
Fu Jincheng was beaten with forty strokes of the rod, and it was clear that his pain was twice that of Fu Ziyi and Fu Xiuchen.
If Fu Ziyi hadn't been supporting him, he probably would have fallen to the ground.
The brothers' punishment wasn't over yet, and none of them could leave first; they could only obediently kneel there.
The three brothers, who had been beaten, stood shoulder to shoulder, supporting each other.
Everyone looked at Xiao Jinhan, who was being punished.
A full fifty strokes.
If they can't get out of bed for a month, he'll probably need two months.
Qiao Yanzhi's eyes welled up with tears several times, but she tried her best to force them back.
Xiao Jinhan clenched his fists, enduring each blow, but in his mind was Tang Yaoyao's delicate and charming face, her smile as beautiful as a flower.
The pain that was originally unbearable no longer seemed so intense.
During the last few blows, Qiao Yanzhi finally couldn't hold back anymore, and tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped away her tears.
