Chapter 144 Fifty Strike
Zhou Chengfeng said coldly, "Making a woman miscarry by insulting her is also a crime."
Li Cuicui cried out, "Sir, this is unfair, I am really wronged."
"Bang!" Zhou Chengfeng slammed the gavel and said coldly, "Who told you to say 'I' in this court? You're calling yourself a guilty woman. If you dare to say 'I' again, I'll give you fifty lashes!"
Li Cuicui panicked and said anxiously, "I... No, I was wrong, but I really didn't do anything. I just scolded Sheng Shuwan a few times. Isn't it normal for a mother-in-law to scold her daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Chengfeng said angrily, "You're still making excuses. You can scold me anytime, but not when I'm pregnant. It might cause miscarriage. Looking at your current state, if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never know where you went wrong."
When the people from the Song family arrived, they just heard what Lord Zhou said.
After Zhou Chengfeng finished speaking, he slammed the gavel again: "Come here, give me fifty lashes!"
"yes!"
Song Hemao suddenly said in a loud voice: "Sir, my mother is really wronged. My sister-in-law was not in good health. She has been living in a cave. The conditions are not good, so she had a miscarriage."
Zhou Chengfeng looked at Song Hemao with cold eyes and asked, "Who in the hall dares to question my decision?"
Song Hemao was frightened and trembled as he said, "I am... Li Cuicui's second son."
Zhou Chengfeng frowned and said, "What you said just now, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Song Hemao quickly shook his head: "No, I'm not dissatisfied."
Zhou Chengfeng snorted coldly. Seeing that Li Cuicui had been forced to lie on the ground, he shouted, "Hit her!"
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the bailiffs began to carry out the execution.
"Ouch."
"It hurts so much."
"Please spare my life, sir."
"Fifty lashes is really too much."
"Sir, please forgive me, my sinner."
As time went by, Li Cuicui's cries for help became weaker and weaker.
By the time he had been lashed with the thirty sticks, he had fainted.
Song Hemao looked at Song Xiangqian anxiously, "Dad, what should we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch?"
Song Xiangqian sighed and said, "We have no power or influence, what can we do?"
Song Hewei said anxiously, "Everyone's already fainted, so they shouldn't fight anymore, right?"
But he was wrong. In court, once an order was given, it had to be carried out.
The bailiffs continued beating him.
Li Cuicui's buttocks were soon stained red with blood.
Soon after, the bailiffs finished the execution.
Zhou Chengfeng said a few words to the master, and the master nodded.
Zhou Chengfeng slammed the gavel: "Adjourn the court!"
"mighty……"
Seeing the county magistrate leave, Song Xiangqian was about to speak when the lawyer came towards them and asked, "Are you Li Cuicui's family?"
Song Xiangqian replied nervously, "Yes, sir."
The lawyer said, "Take Li Cuicui home. Remember, any behavior that causes a pregnant woman to feel unwell, including but not limited to verbal abuse, beatings, abuse, deliberately making her do heavy housework, etc., which can cause a fetus to move, faint from shock, or even miscarriage, will be punished. If anything happens to the pregnant woman's child, even if the defendant is the plaintiff's mother-in-law or other relatives, they will be punished, ranging from being beaten with a stick to being exiled."
Song Xiangqian could only nod at this point: "Thank you for telling us, sir. We understand and will never let her do it again."
Master: "You guys take care of yourself."
