Cheng Maixiang was shocked. This whip was used by Cheng's mother to punish the original owner and her two brothers when they made mistakes. Even though Cheng Maixiang was the youngest and was loved by Cheng's mother, she was whipped three times by Cheng's mother after making a mistake once. Therefore, the three brothers and sisters trembled all over when they picked up the whip.
However, since the three of them grew up and their two elder brothers got married and started their own families, the whip was put aside and has not been used for a long time.
Mrs. Cheng yelled in dissatisfaction, "It's just a little money. Why are you making such a fuss about it? You even whipped her. The child is only seven years old. How can he withstand a whip?"
Mother Cheng looked at her with a cold and dignified look, which frightened Mrs. Cheng so much that she shut up immediately.
"Since my three children were young, I have warned them that we, the Cheng family, can be poor and suffer, but we cannot steal! The Cheng family has been honest people for generations, and we must not let others point fingers at us and scold us! Today's incident, not to mention you, even Mai Dong didn't take it seriously. That means I, as their mother and grandmother, didn't teach them well!
Aijun stole money. No matter whose it was, stealing is stealing. Now that the elders don't discipline him, when he grows up and commits a crime, I'm afraid the elders won't have the authority to discipline him even if they want to.
Today, I am telling you this in front of you. If you still recognize me as your mother and are willing to let your child call me grandma, you will not be able to escape this beating.
If you don't want me to discipline you, that's fine. From now on, once you leave this house, don't call me mother anymore. I'll just pretend I never gave birth to my second child and never married you!"
Wow, the little old lady really has the demeanor of a matriarch and a strong aura, which reminds Cheng Maixiang of the eldest sister Mingjing in the TV series The Disguiser that she had watched in her previous life.
"Second son's wife, what do you say?" Cheng's mother asked indifferently.
Cheng's mother was a strong-willed person. As soon as her two sons got married, she decided to divide the family property. Even though her sons disagreed, she still insisted on doing so.
The original owner was very puzzled at first. With two brothers and sisters-in-law around, they could at least help Cheng's mother, but why did her two brothers not agree to divide the family, but she still did it.
Faced with the original owner's confusion, Cheng's mother just said one sentence: It's easy to meet, but it's difficult to live together.
Cheng Maixiang really admires Cheng's mother's wisdom. Many elderly people in the countryside hope that their children and grandchildren will always be in front of them and that the family will always be in the same pot, but this also brings countless troubles.
In Shuangshui Village, many daughters-in-law are extremely envious when they mention the two daughters-in-law of the Cheng family. They separate the family as soon as they get married, and the couple lives their own lives without having to set rules in front of the mother-in-law every day. What a comfortable life they have.
More importantly, after the separation of the family, Cheng's mother's prestige in front of her two daughters-in-law not only did not diminish, but both of them respected her very much. As long as she spoke, they would obey her.
After all, they have such a comfortable life. If they dare to be unfilial, the wives in the village will scold them to death without waiting for Cheng's mother to say anything.
Now, it was only natural for Cheng's mother to discipline her son for her, so Cheng's second wife naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Mrs. Cheng knew that Mother Cheng was a person who kept her word, so she did not dare to quarrel with her. She just looked at her son who was already trembling with fear, tears welling up in her eyes. In the end, she ignored her son's fear, gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Maizi, go ahead."
The whip was brought quickly. Cheng's mother took the whip and whipped it in the air, making a crisp sound.
Cheng Aijun had never seen such a scene before. His legs were weak with fear, his body was shaking like a sieve, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Grandma, grandma, I, I was wrong. I, I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again."
"Aijun, be a real man, and take responsibility for your actions. It's just three lashes. Your uncle, your father, and your aunt all got whipped like that. They could handle it, so can you. Get down!"
Cheng Aijun looked at Cheng Ersao with tears in his eyes, looking aggrieved. Cheng Ersao knelt down in front of Cheng's mother, hugged her legs and begged for mercy: "Mom, I know I was wrong. Please forgive Aijun. He is young and doesn't understand things. I will teach him a lesson when I get back."
Mother Cheng glanced at her indifferently and said, "You can take the lash for her, but you won't get three lashes, but ten."
Mrs. Cheng froze up and could only persuade her son: "Aijun, just three lashes, and it will pass if you hold on."
Cheng Aijun had no hope and could only lie on the ground obediently.
With a crisp sound, a whip landed on Cheng Aijun's butt. He cried out in pain but did not dare to stand up.
Cheng Ersao had tears in her eyes. She turned her head away, not daring to look any further, and her whole body was shaking.
After two more consecutive whippings, Cheng Aijun howled like a pig being slaughtered, almost shaking the entire roof. Cheng Ersao could no longer bear it and collapsed to the ground.
Cheng's mother dropped the whip and said to the frightened Cheng Aijun, "Do you know you're wrong? Will you steal things again?"
"Grandma, I was wrong," Cheng Aijun burst into tears, his face full of regret, "I will never dare to steal my aunt's money again, nor will I dare to steal from others."
"Okay, just remember it."
Cheng's mother helped Cheng Aijun onto the kang and took off his pants, revealing three red whip marks crisscrossing his round white buttocks.
Cheng's mother took out some medicine and gently rubbed it on his butt. Cheng Aijun howled in pain a few more times.
After applying the medicine, Cheng's mother said to Cheng Ersao, who had barely stood up, "Alright, you carry him back home. When you get back, ask his father what to do. He's been beaten the most of the three children, so he's the most experienced."
Cheng Ersao agreed with tears in her eyes, carried Cheng Aijun on her back and walked out of the inner room, but turned back and glared at Cheng Maixiang with resentment.
Cheng Maixiang understood that she was blaming Cheng Aijun for the beating.
