Chapter 288 I Know I Was Wrong
Ma Xiulian ignored her and did not hit Erni. Instead, she looked at Chen Jianguo with a deep expression and said, "Boss, Erni is your daughter. You can decide how to discipline her after she has done such a thing!"
Then he sat on the stool, looking like he really didn't care about anything.
Upon hearing this, Erni breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought she would be beaten half to death by her grandparents, but now that her father is in charge, she will only get a few slaps at most, and they won't even hurt that much.
After all, of the three sisters, she was the one her parents loved the most, and they had never been able to bear to hit her even once from childhood to adulthood.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jianguo silently picked up a fire poker from the side, raised his foot, and kicked her to the ground.
Then he swung the stick and hit her hard on the buttocks with a dull thud.
"Ah!" Erni let out a shrill scream.
She never expected her father to hit her so hard. After being struck several times, she finally broke down in tears, begging for forgiveness: "Dad, I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Waaah, Mom, Mom, I know I was wrong!"
Zhao Mei stood by, feeling sorry for her, but she also knew that her mistake was serious and she needed to be taught a lesson.
I could only turn my eyes away and force myself not to look.
No one else pleaded for leniency, because if things went wrong and something happened to the people from the commune who went into the mountains, the consequences could be severe.
Zhou Zhaodi thought Erni was incredibly stupid. She knew perfectly well that her in-laws adored their precious baby, yet she still liked to scheme like this.
They're all born of the same mother. Look how honest and well-behaved Da Ni is, Si Ni is as timid as a mouse, and Er Ni is so rebellious!
Hearing her pitiful cries, Da Ni looked at her with pity and opened her mouth to plead for mercy, but then felt that her sister had gone too far this time, so she kept quiet.
Sanni, however, felt that Erni deserved to be beaten, otherwise she would definitely be jealous of Guaibao in the future.
She had just thought her baby was missing, and she was terrified!
"Mom, I'm hungry! When can we eat?"
Chen Xiaobao didn't care about his cousin at all, and instead tugged at Li Chunhua's pants and asked.
"Soon."
Li Chunhua harbored deep resentment towards Erni; this troublesome, money-losing girl should be beaten to death.
After giving him a severe beating, Chen Jianguo threw the fire poker in his hand aside and said, "You kneel down at the door! Reflect on your actions!"
Erni stared at him in disbelief, never expecting her father to be so heartless.
Her buttocks were so swollen and painful, and she was still forced to kneel as punishment!
That brat didn't actually get into any trouble!
But after glancing at her grandparents with their dark faces and her cold and indifferent uncles and aunts, she gritted her teeth, endured the excruciating pain, got up from the ground, and knelt straight down at the door.
Then he raised his hand and wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, a deep-seated hatred showing in his eyes.
She remembered everything that happened today!
Seeing that everything was resolved, Li Chunhua said impatiently, "Mom, let's eat. I'm starving."
But the food on the table had long since gone cold.
It's cold, and food gets cold quickly anyway. After such a long delay, the food must be completely cold by now.
Ma Xiulian called to Zhou Zhaodi to heat up the dishes: "Second wife, come with me to the kitchen to heat up the dishes before we eat."
Jinbao started crying from hunger, so Li Chunhua held him in her arms and began to breastfeed him.
She was also starving, so she looked at Zhao Mei and said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law! Erni is so inconsiderate. Because of her, our whole family hasn't had lunch yet!"
This punishment isn't too severe, considering it didn't cause any real consequences; they couldn't have actually killed him.
Moreover, Grandma had her own reasons for doing this.
