Chapter 27: All for Her
Chi Wan firmly believes in any decision made by Huo Nan.
Not only because she knew that Huo Nan was the hero of this world, but also because Huo Nan exuded a reassuring aura.
A group of people were finally able to leave this gloomy forest.
Before going out.
Chi Wan looked back.
Right next to the open space where she and Huo Ergou had just quarreled, there was a dark cave.
She looked into the cave and landed in the weeds somewhere beside the cave.
That 놆——
Chi Wan narrowed her eyes, a mixture of doubt and surprise flashing through her mind.
She remembered it silently in her heart.
…
Huo Family Ancestral Hall.
According to the rules, only men can enter the ancestral hall, women are not allowed to enter.
So Chi Wan and Huo Chuchun waited outside the door, and Huo Nan led Huo Dongzhi in.
The two brothers had a brief conversation before they walked in.
Huo Nan gave Huo Dongzhi instructions.
After hearing this, Huo Dongzhi raised his head and said, "Brother, I know what to do next."
A hint of surprise flashed across Honan's face.
We brothers had an argument and haven't talked much these past few days.
But in just a few days, I suddenly felt that the boy had grown up and had become more mature.
After looking at each other, they walked inside.
Chi Wan really dislikes places like ancestral halls.
The big doorplate and the dark walls give people a strong sense of oppression.
There are also tablets enshrined inside, and the strong smell of incense makes people feel uncomfortable.
What can only men enter and women are not allowed to enter.
These are nothing more than excuses for men to oppress women.
Chi Wan scoffed at this.
only……
Since the ancestral hall and the clan have such great power over this village, we might as well treat them as tools, hold them in our hands, and make good use of them.
Just like when Huo Nan invited his third uncle...
Use this oppression as a means of checks and balances.
Chi Wan stood in front of the ancestral hall, knowing vaguely what Huo Nan had done.
"sister in law……"
Huo Chuchun followed Chi Wan closely, and the frail girl kept trembling.
Her face turned pale, and she asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, will my second brother be okay? Last time... Last time was also here... Huo Ergou came to complain... My second brother was beaten... He was beaten so badly..."
Talking about the past.
Huo Chuchun's eyes turned red and tears almost fell.
Chi Wan hurriedly hugged her into her arms, held her tightly with both hands, and comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, Xiaochun. This time is different! We didn't do anything wrong, and the bad guys should be punished! Xiaodong will definitely be fine!"
She was so sure.
After hearing Chi Wan's comfort, Huo Chuchun calmed down a little.
After a while.
The third uncle of the Huo family, whom I met briefly last time, appeared again.
He stroked his graying beard and sat majestically in the center of the ancestral hall.
The head of the clan has authority, and no one dares to challenge him.
Huo Dongzhi knelt on the mat, looked up and said, "Third uncle, I hit someone and even my fellow clan members. I did something wrong and I came here to ask for punishment."
There was no admission of guilt or regret in his words.
But Huo Dongzhi's appearance at this moment was really too miserable.
His clothes were dirty and torn, and his face was bruised with dirt.
The arms that were exposed were also blue and white.
Rather than saying that 놆놛 hit someone, it would be better to say that 놆놛 was hit.
What happened in the woods behind the mountain has also spread quietly.
Therefore, after Huo Dongzhi said this, the uncles and other men around him also spoke up.
"Uncle San, the guy who fought with this guy is Huo Ergou, the son of Huo Laoer. I heard that the two of them teamed up to bully Xiaodong..."
"I saw it too! It's so tragic! Huo Lao Er is the eldest son, three years older than Xiao Dong. He is still my cousin, how could he bully a child..."
"Huo Ergou! Where is Huo Ergou! You have the guts to hit someone, but you don't have the guts to admit it?! It's clearly written in the clan rules that brothers of the same clan are not allowed to fight or punch each other! You can't fight among yourself!"
Chi Wan was listening outside the ancestral hall. After hearing this, her original guess became more certain.
놇After a burst of noise.
Huo Ergou and three others were dragged into the ancestral hall by several elders.
Along the way.
Huo Ergou and the others were still shouting loudly, "Uncle, uncle! I didn't hit anyone, I really didn't hit anyone! Uncle... look at the wounds on my body, I am not the one who was beaten!"
They have changed their previous arrogant and domineering appearance.
Especially after entering the ancestral hall, not only did he scream in pain, but he also shrank and trembled all over.
When Huo Ergou saw Huo Dongzhi, he became even more angry.
"Huo Dongzhi, don't talk nonsense in front of your third uncle!"
"You villain! You're the first to complain!"
"Why did I hit you? I was clearly against that bitch in your family—"
놛Biting people indiscriminately like a mad dog.
After a round of violent words, even Chi Wan was implicated.
Huo Dongzhi interrupted Huo Ergou's shouting and said firmly: "I will beat you!"
Huo Nan's face was gloomy, and he said in a bad tone, "In the ancestral hall, everything is between men, so don't involve women!"
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was tense and the situation was stalemate.
The people in the village have lived together for several years and know each other well.
The elders and uncles of the Huo family also watched the brothers Huo Nan and Huo Dongzhi grow up, and they knew the tempers of the two brothers.
Although their family is poor, they live with more self-respect and pride than anyone else.
The elders said that the two of them would take the initiative to provoke and deliberately fight to bully others, but they would never believe it.
Damn Huo Ergou and the others.
He didn't know how to work, just idled around all day and caused trouble in the village.
So no matter how hard Huo Ergou shouted, or how miserably, no one would believe his words.
The eyes that fell on him were full of contempt and disgust.
Seeing this, Huo Ergou cried and shouted even harder.
He pulled up his sleeves, revealing the bruises on his wrists for everyone to see.
"Uncle, uncles, look... here is the evidence... that bitch from our family beat us..."
"Uncle San, you can't wrongly accuse a good person... It's really unfair to me, it's really unfair to me..."
The others also started shouting, accusing Chi Wan of beating people and saying that they were victims.
The ancestral hall became noisy.
An elder grumbled, "A bunch of young and energetic guys actually said in unison that a woman beat you up. If you spread such words out, no one will believe it. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
What kind of person is Chi Wan? We all met her when Huo Nan got married.
That frail body would fall over if the wind blew.
