Zhao Guixiang: "What did you say?"

Lin Lan smiled: "I said you don't know the time without a watch, it's understandable." She raised her wrist and gestured. This was something she had taken off Han Jinyu's hand. She felt a sense of accomplishment.

Zhao Guilian and Mrs. Wu also rushed over, talking to each other, chirping like a thousand ducks in a poultry market, quacking non-stop.

People who are uneducated, uncultured and self-righteous are always like this. No matter how low they are, they can always find a sense of superiority in others, and then start to argue endlessly, hoping to step on the other person.

However, neither Han Yonglu nor Han Qingfeng came. Lin Lan thought that they might want to let go and let their wives make trouble?

Why give up treatment!

Soon Han Yongfang and the captain arrived on time, accompanied by Han Qingyun and Liu Guifa, followed by a group of children, and even Xingfu and Dawei came.

When Da Wang saw them, he turned his head and looked over.

"Ah——" Xingfu screamed and squatted on the ground, "Don't kick me!"

Dawei also hid behind the adults, trembling.

Dawang: “…”

Han Yongfang said coldly: "I don't have that much time to argue. It's not up to you to decide what's going on. Ask first."

He took a look at the hammer and saw five children aged between 7 and 9, as well as Dawei and Xingfu, Sanwang and Xiaowang.

"Tell us about what happened that day," the captain shouted.

Lin Lan signaled Sanwang and Xiaowang to act out what happened that day, as a replay of the scene. She had been involved in publicity planning, so it was quite easy for her to direct a few children to reenact the scene.

Sanwang and Xiaowang have sharp brains. They remember everything that happened that day clearly and can describe it word for word correctly. If the other children make mistakes or forget something, Sanwang and Xiaowang will fill in the gaps and they will immediately say that it is what happened.

Zhao Guixiang shouted, "Stop talking nonsense."

Lin Lan: "You were not there at the time, shut up!"

Zhao Guixiang was so embarrassed that she was so angry that her face turned black.

After the children performed for a while, especially when Sanwang jumped down at the end, Dawei and Xingfu stood on the shore in a wretched manner, gloating over their misfortune, and everyone laughed sarcastically.

Xingfu and Dawei trembled even more violently. They were originally frightened by Dawang, and now they were laughed at by everyone.

Seeing how pitiful they were, Lin Lan felt sorry for them. It was really unbelievable that parents like them didn't know how to comfort their children and were so rude to them.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Guixiang immediately yelled, "Why are you talking about that day? Sanwang jumped into the water on his own, why are you talking about this? You said that Dawang kicked our child into the water, look how scared our child was, and he's still not well now." She grabbed Xingfu and pulled him over.

I was so happy that I wanted to squeeze myself into the crowd and disappear, but now I was pulled out and subjected to everyone's gaze, I was about to collapse.

Especially Da Wang stood aside with a slingshot in his hand, making a "bang bang bang" sound with his fingers, flicking the nerves of happiness again and again, making him feel nervous.

Lin Lan said, "Da Wang kicked Xingfu because he didn't go into the water. There's nothing wrong with him. What are you making a fuss about?"

Zhao Guixiang: "Why am I making a fuss? Look at our child, how scared he is."

Lin Lan immediately became angry, "You only saw your children were scared, did you see our children? Our Sanwang was so scared that he couldn't speak for several days and even ran away from home. Our Xiaowang had a fever of over 40 degrees!"

"Aren't you guys okay now? Ours isn't healed yet!"

"We are fine because our children are blessed with good health! You are not fine because your children are useless!" Lin Lan retorted angrily.

Although she felt happy again when she saw the child's smiling face, she still had a lot of anger in her heart that she hadn't released yet! She didn't find Zhao Guilian to complain, but they came first.

It hit the muzzle of her gun.

Lin Lan shouted, "Keep going! It's not over yet!"

Then Sanwang was swimming in the water and got cramps. Xiaowang was carefully dragging his stick to get down the riverbank, and several children ran away in panic.

Several children said they were done.

Erwang said: "Xiaowang hasn't fallen into the river yet, how come the performance is over?"

Someone asked in bewilderment, "Didn't he fall down while trying to catch Sanwang?"

Erwang: "My brother is the most obedient and well-behaved. He will never do anything that we tell him not to do. He will never rush down foolishly. So how did he fall down?" He looked over there and saw Xiaowang trying to get down carefully but not moving. He asked: "Xiaowang, why are you doing this?"

Xiao Wang looked puzzled: "No one is coming to push me?"

Before, he was pushed down, but of course there was no one to act this part now, so he kept the action and waited for someone to push him, and then he could fall into the river in the next step.

What?

Lin Lan was furious. Was there something new going on? She had thought Xiao Wang had accidentally fallen down while saving his brother, but she had never expected that something really happened!

She couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately looked over at the children, saying coldly: "Whoever pushed my Xiaowang, tell me yourself. If I find out..."

Her eyes were cold and sharper than anyone had ever seen before.

In the past, whether she was aggressive or naughty, her attitude was always tough, but her eyes were gentle. Especially when facing children, she rarely showed her fierce side.

When she heard that someone pushed Xiaowang, she suddenly turned into a tigress and wanted to kick the child into the river!

The look she gave Zhao Guilian, Zhao Guixiang and the others became fierce, making people feel that she was about to pounce on them the next moment.

Zhao Guixiang: "Whatever he said is true? A little kid is telling lies, who knows if you taught him to do that?"

Han Qingsong looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "Secretary, why don't we light a torch and go to the river to let the children think about it carefully."

Although some time has passed, the incident left such a deep impression on the children that they still have nightmares about it when they returned home. It is not so easy to forget it.

When they arrived at the river, Han Qingsong stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "You are all children. We can't do anything to you if you do bad things. But your father will be responsible for your failure to educate you. If you make mistakes, your father will be held responsible." When someone takes the blame, the children feel no pressure and are more likely to tell the truth.

Han Yongfang angrily said: "Whose kid did this? You can't escape thirty lashes. Take it well!"

Damn it, if you weren't making a fuss, you wouldn't know what's going on! If you're not making a fuss, then take it from me!

Now the parents of seven or eight children became nervous and said that it was not their children who did it.

With torches lit, the children resumed the day's events.

At the end of the performance, Xiao Wang came over again, dragging a long stick. He walked close to the side of the stick to avoid tripping people. Da Wei ran up first, followed by Xing Fu, and the other children followed. Xiao Wang carefully went down from the shore...

At this time Hammer said, "Dawei, you didn't go here, you went over there." The place Hammer pointed to was the place where Xiaowang came down.

Dawei immediately shouted, "Nonsense, I left first. Why would I walk on the side of such a wide riverbank?"

When Xiaowang saw a lot of people walking on the side, he rushed over directly. Why were they walking on the side?

Seeing how fierce he was, Hammer muttered, "Just go over there. Your basket is up there."

Dawei suddenly jumped up in anger, "It was obviously you who pushed it, I saw it!"

Da Wang sneered, but his voice was cold, "Do you have eyes behind you?"

Dawei suddenly collapsed and shouted, "It's not me, it's not me!"

Lin Lan asked softly, "Xiao Wang, do you remember who pushed you?"

Xiaowang shook his head: "I was only looking at Xiaosan brother." He gestured, "When I walked here, someone pushed me with their arm, and then I rolled..." He made a motion of falling into the water.

Dawei screamed: "You are talking nonsense, nonsense, it wasn't me who taught you that, someone else did!"

Xingfu suddenly said, "I...I also saw you push him."

Dawei rushed over and hit him, "You bastard, you bastard, I'm helping you!"

The two of them have had a good relationship since childhood. Xingfu and Dawang are not at odds with each other, and he also helps Xingfu. He heard Caihua say that Sanwang went to cut weeds, so he took Xingfu over.

Now happiness betrays him!

Xingfu cried, "Then push him..."

The truth is out!

Without waiting for Han Qingsong to say anything, Han Yongfang stomped his feet and said, "Neither of you can escape. Thirty lashes each!"

Xingfu was so scared that he cried out, "Why are you hitting me? Why are you hitting me? It was Dawei who pushed me! It wasn't me who pushed me."

"You are also responsible for running away together and pushing Xiao Wang. Thirty lashes for each of you. If you have any objections, we will discuss it tomorrow."

The captain also scolded: "You are the ones who are busy all day long. You are so busy that you will behave yourself after you are well fed. You will behave yourself after you are whipped!"

He carried a whip with him, which was prepared for Han Yongfang. The captain himself had never whipped anyone before. However, he particularly liked to watch Han Yongfang play with the whip, especially when he whipped someone, the whip would fly in the air and make a crisp "snap" sound, and it was particularly beautiful when it was whipped down.

Of course, he would not tell anyone about his bad taste.

The captain shouted, "Liu Wenhu, Han Qinghe, come out and take the whip for your sons!"

Han Qinghe followed a few women and watched secretly, but Liu Wenhu didn't dare to go near them. He usually bullied his younger brother and took advantage of his brother's wife's family. He didn't dare to fight with others. So his motto was to be as arrogant as he wanted at home, but to be a good guy when he went out.

As a result, this good man who had always been law-abiding had to be whipped for his son.

He shouted, "Why are you hitting me? Why are you hitting me? I didn't do anything wrong. You hit me when I make mistakes. Why do you hit me?"

Oh my god, if you hit me, I have to go back and beat that brat! Isn't this a double punishment? It's better to just beat that brat directly.

When Han Qinghe heard that he was going to be whipped thirty times, he immediately ran to find Han Qingfeng and said, "Brother, happiness was inherited by you. If he needs to be beaten, you should take it for him. Look at how thin I am. How can I bear it? Brother, brother, you have to bear it."

Han Qingfeng: “…………”

"Brother, I don't want to be beaten. You know I have been afraid of pain since I was a child." Han Qinghe didn't want to be whipped at all.

Han Qingfeng: "Then let happiness take it."

Han Qinghe was stunned. "Then, then shouldn't we beat him to death?"

Han Qingfeng: "Han Qingsong and Han Yongfang want to kill the child?"

Han Qinghe thought about it and realized that this was not the case. Han Qingsong said that it was the father's fault for not raising the child well, and he wanted to beat himself as the father.

Han Qingfeng: "That's it."

Han Qinghe suddenly understood, and he thanked him happily: "Brother, you are still smart, no worse than that crappy director."

Han Qinghe ran to the river.

When someone saw him, they shouted, "Han Qinghe, hurry over here and take the beating for your son."

Han Qinghe said angrily: "Everyone has his own responsibility. You should be a man and take responsibility for it. As a father, you still have to go to the fields to earn work points. How can you go to work if you get beaten? Isn't this delaying the busy farming season? We won't do things that delay the busy farming season!"

After he said this, Liu Wenhu also perked up and said the same thing, saying that if he didn't want to bear it, then just let his son get beaten.

Anyway, does Han Yongfang dare to be beaten to death? Thirty lashes, ten of which are strong at the beginning, and then I will let him go at the end, just to show my respect!

Seeing how cowardly they were, Han Yongfang spat, "What a shame! They didn't teach their own son well, and shirked responsibility when he made a mistake. How could the child be so unlucky to be born in your family?"

After hearing what he said, many people present felt uneasy and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lin Lan and Han Qingsong, their children, and how the couple took care of their children, and then think about their own families.

I heard that Han Qingsong beat his children at home and took the beating for Sanwang.

Someone shouted, "Han Qinghe, Liu Wenhu, why are you so cowardly? What are you afraid of? Just take it!"

Liu Wenhu: "You guys don't want to be beaten, right? I'll beat you up and try."

At this time, Han Yongfang said, "You are all involved in this matter. How do you educate your children? When something happened, you didn't rush to call for help, but instead ran away? What if something really happened? Will you pay for it?"

Han Yongfang continued, "All the children who were watching and making trouble will be lashed five times. It's up to you whether you want to be the child or the father to take the blame!"

Hammer heard it and shouted, "I reported it, I reported it, don't hit me!"

Liu Guifa said: "Hammer came to talk to me."

Hammer breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had saved his life.

Han Yongfang said: "Yours is off the table. If it happens again, I'll double it!"

When the other children heard that they would also be beaten, they all started to cry. No one wanted to be beaten. They just wanted to watch the fun, so why did they get beaten? The children cried, and their mothers cried too. They all cried that they were wronged and accused the branch secretary, Han Qingsong, and Lin Lan of being too excessive.

Lin Lan said coldly: "We, Sanwang and Xiaowang, were lucky that day. If something had really happened, do you think you would have been safe?"

If anything happened to her two children, she would not let any of the culprits, whether main or accomplices, go free!

"You don't discipline your children, and if they cause trouble, who will take responsibility if you don't take responsibility?" She snorted coldly. Did you tell the families of these children? Did the families know about it? Among those who knew, how many people were in charge? Did they all pretend not to know for fear of being implicated?

How can we educate our children with this attitude of keeping quiet and evading responsibility?

It was already past ten o'clock, the moon was shining brightly on the water, and the wind was filled with the scent of spring river water and sprouting grass.

But the atmosphere on the shore was very tense.

Lin Lan originally wanted to slap Zhao Guixiang and a few others in the face and let it go, but when she found out that someone had pushed Xiaowang, she couldn't let it go.

The person who pushed is the principal offender, and the one who instigated the incident is the accomplice. None of them can be forgiven and must be punished.

Beat! Sanwang was beaten, why shouldn’t they be beaten?

Everyone must remember that if their parents don’t teach them, then the team will be responsible for teaching them.

Han Yongfang glared at the two good-for-nothings and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to be whipped for your children. Thirty lashes will be divided into six times, five lashes each time, and you can beat them once every ten days. You will eventually be beaten." After saying that, he glanced at everyone present and said, "Everyone will go to the team to be whipped after work at noon tomorrow. If anyone is dissatisfied, then we will call a meeting for the entire team and discuss this matter thoroughly so that every family can learn from them and know how to educate their children!"

He snorted and turned away.

As soon as Han Yongfang left, the captain and others also withdrew.

Han Qingyun ran to Han Qingsong and Lin Lan and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the captain's whip is more powerful than the three of us."

They were beaten so hard that they screamed and howled like ghosts, and they never dared to commit crimes again.

Liu Chunfang came over and pulled Hammer away, glared at Lin Lan hatefully, and said, "You silly child, why are you so stupid to be used as a tool by others? Don't go near them in the future." But Hammer refused, as he still wanted to play with Sanwang.

Lin Lan glanced at her and said, "If you have something to say, come and say it. It's shameful to keep mumbling there. Let me tell you, Hammer is probably the best one in your family and he knows right from wrong. If the secretary had whipped him earlier, Liu Chunhe wouldn't have been corrupted by you guys." If his parents hadn't ignored or spoiled him, how could Liu Chunhe dare to steal things with gangsters?

And he stole from his own village! Even rabbits don't eat grass near their nests! He is worse than an animal!

Liu Chunfang was so angry that her body was shaking. She looked at Han Qingsong, but he didn't even look at her. She had no choice but to leave quickly with the hammer.

Lin Lan's family couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Wang, "Someone pushed you, why didn't you tell your parents?"

Xiao Wang: "Mom, he did it on purpose?" It was a mess at the time, and he didn't know who pushed him. He was also too young to realize that the other person had bad intentions. Now that he was going to perform, he thought it was the same as the group's propaganda performance, and he had to perform it.

The whole family must feel sorry for Xiaowang and make sure the bad kids are punished! Let them remember it for the rest of their lives!

Many people didn't know about it that night, but when they went to work the next morning, the whole team knew about it.

So at noon, the brigade blew the whistle to end work, and everyone went to the yard in front of the department to watch the flogging.

There were crowds of people inside and outside, almost all the members who could move were there, and there were more people than when they watched the opera during the New Year.

When members of the brigade committed crimes, they were often punished by the brigade itself, not by the commune or the public security bureau. After so many years of following the rules, the members did not think there was anything wrong. After all, they could solve their own brigade problems, and did not need to embarrass themselves in the commune. Family disgrace should not be made public.

Whipping in public for mistakes is also the clan rule of the Han family in Shanzui Village. It has been passed down for many years, so most members have no objection.

Especially since Han Yongfang was both the branch secretary and the clan leader, he personally carried out the work, and most of the members were convinced.

Han Yongfang was also angry. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, such things happen all the time. It was a blessing that nothing happened to the child. He could just let it go.

How could we have known that Zhao Guixiang and a few others were restless and wanted to cause trouble, delaying the spring planting? We couldn't get used to it.

Dong Huaihua said to the wives, "If they hadn't made trouble, Lin Lan wouldn't have pursued it, and the branch secretary wouldn't have bothered to intervene. It's a very busy day, but they insisted on causing trouble. They should be taught a lesson, and the others ended up suffering because of them."

Dong Huaihua said this as if the other children were whipped because of Zhao Guixiang and the others, and it had nothing to do with Lin Lan's family.

They are not very smart. They are usually influenced by their preconceived ideas and tend to listen to whoever says something that seems to make sense first.

As a result, the sisters Zhao Guixiang and Zhao Guilian were complained by the parents of the children and never had any contact with them again.

In the end, no one dared to escape Han Yongfang's whip, and several parents brought their children to the scene.

Han Qinghe objected, "The child was pushed by Dawei, so how come he has the same amount of happiness as Dawei?" He thought that he should have at least ten fewer lashes than Dawei.

Han Yongfang said coldly: "If you think one more lash is not good enough, then Dawei will give you ten more lashes. After all, it's only once every half a month, so it won't hurt!"

Sun Aifeng couldn't stand it anymore. "Secretary, don't add to it. Don't add to it. We didn't want to cause trouble. It was Zhao Guilian and Zhao Guixiang who wanted to cause trouble. If you want to beat them, just beat them. Why beat us?"

Zhao Guilian got angry when she heard her say that. "You guys are just evil-minded. You let them push you into the river and make us suffer as a result. You should let Dawei bear the consequences!"

After such a commotion, several women started to fight again.

The captain shouted, "Be quiet, all of you! If you make any more noise, I'll let you take over!"

The women didn't dare to tear it apart.

In the end, Liu Wenhu and Han Qinghe were reluctant to take the beatings for their sons, so they each received thirty lashes, six times, once every ten days.

The other children were each given five lashes in one beating.

Han Yongfang's whip is different from Han Qingsong's whip. It is a real whip with a handle of two and a half feet long and a whip body and tip of three feet long. It makes a crisp sound when it is whipped.

It hurts so much when you get hit on the back!

Zhao Guilian cried bitterly, "How can Dawang bully us for our happiness? It's in vain. He doesn't get whipped and it's nothing. If this isn't partiality, what is it?"

Dong Huaihua mocked her, "Don't cry anymore, are you not deaf and don't understand? The key point of this matter is that you guys made a fuss during the busy farming season and pushed Xiaowang into the river and ran away! Dawang has already gotten rid of the matter of deceiving people in the competition with Sanwang, and the party secretary didn't mention it either."

What is being settled now is the children who pushed Xiaowang and ran away without saying a word when something happened, without calling for help from adults. Generally, if adults are called in time when something happens, the children will not drown. What we are afraid of is that when something happens, the children will run away without telling the adults, and no one will know, and then they will definitely die.

When whipping him, Han Yongfang gave him a lecture, "Old man, you have to run when you are whipped. One whip can make you lie down for several days!"

These words scared Dawei, Xingfu and other children so much that they wet their pants.

However, Han Yongfang keeps his word and fights when he says so, just like Han Qingsong.

There were seven or eight children, and each of them received five lashes. Some smart parents wanted to have their children whipped later.

After all, human strength is limited. If he uses it up first, it won't hurt when he hits someone later.

Han Yongfang knew what they were thinking, so he said coldly, "Don't worry, even if I whip you a hundred times, my strength will still be the same."

When Dawei was beaten, he was supposed to kneel down or lie on a stool, but he rolled to the ground after being whipped, and peed his pants on the ground. "It hurts so much, it hurts so much, please stop beating me... wuwuwu... I won't dare to do it again!"

Xingfu was a little stronger than Dawei, but he couldn't stand the pain either. He howled like a pig being slaughtered when he was whipped, and the whole team could hear his miserable appearance. He had already bitten several corn cobs into pieces before he finished being whipped ten times.

"... Spare my life... One whip a day... Wuwu..."

Han Yongfang's whipping is different from Han Qingsong's. Han Qingsong is restrained in his use of force, using small punishments and big admonitions, not to scare people but to make the children feel pain. Remember that. Han Yongfang's whipping is for punishment, to scare the onlookers and to make the person being whipped feel pain, so every time the whip is applied, blood will be drawn.

The onlookers were so frightened that they were afraid that the whip would hit them.

There are also fathers who are tough and proud. They grit their teeth and take the blame for their sons. When they get home, they will beat their children up to vent their anger and see if they dare to interfere again.

Caihua and Yanyan were also watching in the crowd. She said to Yanyan gloatingly, "Look, he can't bully you anymore."

Yanyan nodded: "Thank you."

The mothers of several children cried loudly, as if it was snowing in June and they felt wronged, but Han Yongfang didn't care. She just had to obey the rules.

After the fight, they supported each other and prepared to go home.

Lin Lan stopped Zhao Guixiang and Sun Aifeng and said, "Wait."

"You've kicked and hit me, what else do you want to do?" Zhao Guilian and Mrs. Wu cried until their eyes were swollen.

Lin Lan said coldly: "Your child made a bet with our Sanwang and pushed our Xiaowang into the river. Our Xiaowang cannot suffer in vain, he must pay compensation!"

If you don’t pay, adults won’t feel the pain!

"What compensation?" Several women jumped up and down, "How can you be so cruel? Our child was kicked into the river by you, and he is still not well now." They originally wanted to file a complaint and ask Lin Lan to pay compensation, and at the same time sue Han Qingsong for allowing Dawang to commit violence and rape him.

Little did they know that Lin Lan would ask them for money instead.

Lin Lan: "Please pay 100 yuan for Xiao Wang's medical expenses, shock fees, and mental damages. If you don't pay, we will go to the county to file a complaint. Let's go."

Some people didn't dare to go.

They didn’t know before that Dawei pushed Xiaowang ahhhh——

Zhao Guilian felt that she had suffered heavy losses and had originally intended to file a complaint against Lin Lan's family, but in the end, her son was beaten and defrauded of money. It simply could not be worse.

But Lin Lan refused to give up, with Han Qingsong and several children as her backers, and a group of supporters of Lin Lan's family lending their support, and it seemed that she would not give up unless she was compensated.

Lin Lan said coldly: "You want to pick a fight with me, and I have to accompany you? You think you won't pay a price?"

Han Yongfang was too lazy to take care of the matter, so Liu Guifa and the team leader finally mediated and asked Zhao Guilian and Sun Aifeng's families to pay 30 yuan each, so that each family would get 15 yuan. If they didn't pay, they would just be assigned work points in the team.

This is a lot of money for ordinary people! 20 cents per pound of fine noodles!

"Oh my God... This is going to kill us." Mrs. Wu slapped her thigh and started crying.

Zhao Guilian and Zhao Guixiang had no choice but to reluctantly agree. No one knew that that dead kid Dawei actually pushed others into the water! As a result, his own family was implicated, and he and the Liu family have been at loggerheads ever since.

Da Wang had been playing with the slingshot in his hand. He aimed at Da Wei, hooked the rubber band and pulled it tight, then let go and the slingshot shot out with a "bang".

"Ah——" Dawei was already in great pain from the beating, and this blow completely broke his nerves, and he fainted all of a sudden. From then on, Dawang became his lifelong nightmare.

Da Wang curled his lips: Useless thing!

The author has something to say: Director Han: This is my wife's home turf, and it is unfair for me to fight with the members. So I am the man behind my wife.

Da Wang: I don’t want to become someone else’s nightmare at such a young age.

Xiaowang: Waiting for you to push me!

Sanwang: Hahahaha, I got whipped eight times and you guys still enjoyed the fun. It’s so lively now that we can watch it until the New Year!

Mai Sui & Er Wang: They seem to be from a different world. Mentally handicapped children are so happy.
