Ye Caiping continued:
"No matter what it is, if the husband's family threatens us women, only the bride's family can be present to make a final judgment!"
Ye Caiping's retort left Village Chief Yang speechless.
He was a coward by nature, always trying to smooth things over. He became the village chief because of his seniority and his academic achievements as a child scholar.
"That's not what I meant. Of course, your family can handle this. I just didn't know you were from Xiaoyan's family. I thought you were some relative!"
Ye Caiping responded with a faint "Mm".
After thinking for a moment, Village Chief Yang said, "Drag Yang Guangzong and Widow Chen out first!"
Ye Siquan and a villager immediately rushed into the house and dragged Ye Guangzong and Widow Chen out.
The two are still in the same state as yesterday—
Completely naked except for a blanket covering their private parts, they were bound tightly together.
That design was as vulgar as it could possibly be.
"Oh dear..." Many young wives covered their eyes in fright.
The men, however, all had shining eyes, watching with a mixture of disdain and laughter.
A villager pulled the cloth that was stuffed into their mouths.
"Uncle Village Chief, we're innocent! We're innocent!" Yang Guangzong cried out as soon as he could speak.
Widow Chen also wept bitterly, "We have nothing, we're innocent! Waaah..."
"Injustice—ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Caiping stepped forward, holding a brick in her hand, and slapped Yang Guangzong across the face.
I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty!
"How many bad things have you done that you habitually cry foul during the first trial? Look at yourselves now! You don't even have a single piece of clothing!" Ye Caiping sneered.
"Tell me, what did you do wrong? Did you not sleep together, or did you not take off your clothes? Or did you simply take off your clothes and sleep together, but did nothing and have a purely platonic friendship?"
Yang Guangzong and Widow Chen choked, their faces turning pale and then red.
The villagers all burst into laughter.
Village Chief Yang said with a dark face, "We've caught you red-handed, so don't waste your breath!"
He then looked at Ye Caiping and said, "Madam Ye, as a member of your family, what do you suggest we do?"
"That's easy. Just follow the rules: adultery with a woman deserves to be drowned in a pig cage! Let Yang Guangzong and Widow Chen be drowned in a pig cage!"
Yang Guangzong and Widow Chen's expressions changed.
Yang Guangzong was so frightened that he wet himself: "No! I don't want to be drowned in a pig cage! No! Little sister, please let me go!"
"Hu Fen! Hu Fen! I am your husband! One night as husband and wife is worth a hundred nights of kindness. Even if we have had many faults in the past, we are still husband and wife! Hu Fen..."
Ye Hufen's main character was heartbroken. She sat to the side, rubbing ginger juice on her face, crying loudly, looking like a burly little child who was 1.8 meters tall.
"Sister Hufen! I'll never do it again... Please forgive me... I'll leave Nanwa Village right now! I'll go far away and never come back..."
The villagers all gasped in shock—the pigs were being submerged in cages!
It's been so many years since I've seen you!
Village Chief Yang frowned; he had no interest in whether Yang Guangzong lived or died.
But it was still a disgrace that someone in their tribe had been drowned in a pig cage for prostitution.
Moreover, this widow Chen is also a daughter-in-law of the Yang family!
Village Chief Yang said, "Although the rules are there, one can't be too ruthless. How about we drive Widow Chen out of the village? As for Guangzong..."
"Men can make mistakes sometimes. Look, Guangzong has already admitted his mistake! Give him a few slaps and let him go back to live a good life with Xiaoyan's mother!"
Ye Caiping almost laughed when she heard his words: "No, he should be drowned in a pig cage! What, does your Nanwa Village just like male prostitutes and female thieves? When something happens, you punish them severely and let them off lightly? Is this the atmosphere in your village?"
Not only Village Chief Yang, but even the other villagers' expressions changed upon hearing these words. The village's atmosphere must not be allowed to deteriorate!
Otherwise, which girl would dare to marry into their village?
"Men, take him to be drowned in a pig cage!" Village Chief Yang was determined to resolve this mess immediately.
"No! Village Chief, you can't do this to me! I'm your nephew, a distant relative! Ye Caiping, you vicious slut! You'll die a horrible death!"
"Hufen—Hufen...please save me..."
The two cried their hearts out.
Village Chief Yang has already sent people to fetch the pig cages.
"Wait!" Ye Hufeng suddenly stood up. "I'm the victim... I've made up my mind. I'm not doing the pig cage thing anymore!"
"Hu Fen!" Yang Guangzong's eyes lit up.
Even Widow Chen looked at her expectantly.
Village Chief Yang nodded. That's more like it! Who would actually send their own man to be drowned in a pig cage?
"Big sister..." Ye Caiping looked at her reproachfully, "Then what are you going to do with them?"
"Guangzong... forget it. As for Widow Chen..." Everyone thought she would kick Widow Chen out of the village, but she said, "Sigh, I feel sorry for her. How about this, let her be Guangzong's concubine!"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
The village auntie exclaimed anxiously, "Little Swallow's mother, are you stupid?! You didn't drive this kind of woman out of the village, but instead brought her into your home? What kind of mess is this?"
"Anyway... let's leave it at that!" Ye Hufen squatted down, looking down at Widow Chen with helplessness and sympathy on her face, but her eyes were full of excited smiles. "Chen Juhua, you'll marry into my family!"
Widow Chen's mind went blank for a moment as she suddenly remembered that Ye Hufen had said the same thing to her yesterday.
At the time, she thought Ye Hufen was testing her and saying the opposite of what she meant!
But right now... Ye Hufeng is actually serious!
This is……
Widow Chen suddenly realized that this was a setup!
Ye Hufen wanted to torture her to death!
"No! I won't go to your house! I won't be Yang Guangzong's concubine!"
Yes, her biggest guarantee was that she had no relationship with Ye Hufeng.
If she were to enter the Yang family and become a concubine, she would be at Ye Hufen's mercy!
"Fine, if she won't be a little one, then let her be drowned in a pig cage!" Ye Hufen said coldly. "Village chief, quickly put her in the pig cage."
Just then, Village Chief Yang sent back the man who had brought the pig cage.
Widow Chen was terrified: "No, no, no—I won't be submerged! I'll be the concubine! I'll be the concubine!"
Village Chief Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had agreed, but couldn't help but glare at Widow Chen again.
"Alright, alright, the matter has been resolved. There's nothing else, everyone can go back now!" said Village Chief Yang.
The villagers left reluctantly, still wanting more.
Several aunties pulled Ye Hufen aside and kept trying to persuade her, saying that Ye Hufen had lost her mind, that she had brought such a big mistake into her home instead of kicking her out.
Isn't this just like catching a mouse and putting it in a rice jar?
Ye Hufen looked simple-minded, just smiling foolishly, neither answering nor responding.
The aunties tried to persuade her until their mouths were almost sore, but in the end they could only shake their heads and leave.
