Wang Mazi's words nearly sent everyone flying.
Some people think this method is good, while others think it won't work.
He wanted to suppress and even kill his wife before they were even married.
If they got married and lived under the same roof, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.
Even our little dog, Egg, might get hurt.
Fan Xiaohua's eyes lit up when she heard Wang Mazi's words.
He looked at Yuan Shitou with expectant eyes.
Yuan Shitou spat.
"Don't even think about it. I only want to be a little guy, I don't want to take a second wife."
Upon hearing his words, Fan Xiaohua's eyes immediately dimmed.
What followed was intense hatred.
Mother Fan immediately grabbed Mother Yuan's hand and said in a pleading tone:
“Stone’s mother, I know that my little flower has been married before and is not good enough for your Stone.”
Just take pity on her and let her be Shi Tou's mistress.
This will put her mind at ease and prevent her from making a fuss all the time.
Mother Yuan abruptly shook off her hand: "What are you saying?"
My husband, Shi Tou, just said that he will only marry a second wife as long as Xiao Xiao doesn't take a second wife.
You know how mischievous your daughter is.
He is narrow-minded and vicious.
In her eyes, human life was less than a chick's.
They even want to force her to come to our house? Are they deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?
Fan's mother reached out to grab Yuan's mother's hand, but Yuan's mother slapped it away.
She cried, "Stone Mother, please have pity on my little flower."
You see, she's such a simple-minded girl, only thinking about marrying Shi Tou, she doesn't like anyone else.
Don't worry, as long as she enters your home...
I guarantee she'll behave and won't cause any more trouble.
Mother Yuan was furious: "Guarantee? What guarantee do you have?"
Not only is my son Shitou unwilling, but my wife and I are also unwilling.
We're doing just fine as a family, why would we want to marry a troublemaker into our home?
They felt their lives were too comfortable.
One wrong word and we might die without even knowing how.
Still living a good life? Who would believe that?
Many villagers nodded in agreement: "That's right, who would be so foolish as to keep such a bomb in their home?"
Mrs. Fan still wanted to continue speaking, but Mr. Fan couldn't stand it anymore.
He shouted sternly, "Enough! Aren't you ashamed enough?"
Don't you know what kind of person your own daughter is?
Stop causing trouble for other people's homes.
Upon hearing Mr. Fan's words, Mrs. Fan deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing to the ground and bursting into tears.
The village chief had lost patience with their commotion and waved his hand, saying:
"A few men, take Fan Xiaohua down and give her 50 lashes."
They were then sent to the ancestral hall and locked up for five days.
Don't give her anything to eat or drink.
If she can hold on for five days, we will drop the matter.
Then he turned to Yun Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't say a word from beginning to end.
When the village chief asked her, she nodded and said, "Uncle Village Chief, you can arrange it. I have no objections."
The village chief nodded, satisfied with Yun Xiaoxiao's attitude.
This girl is quite sensible; she knows when to stop and doesn't want to upset him.
Yun Xiaoxiao, of course, didn't say anything.
A girl was beaten with 50 strokes of the cane and then locked up in the ancestral hall.
Stay there for five days without eating or drinking.
Putting everything else aside, in this sweltering summer, it's no wonder that the areas that have been hit by boards would rot.
What is an ancestral hall?
That is the place where the ancestral tablets are enshrined.
It was not only gloomy inside, but there wasn't even a ray of light.
And there wasn't a soul in sight.
Especially at night, there are all sorts of terrifying bird calls.
In this place now, there are legends of ghosts and gods.
Fan Xiaohua will probably go crazy after she goes in.
However, Yun Xiaoxiao underestimated Fan Xiaohua's ability to withstand pressure.
They thought that Fan Xiaohua would go crazy if she didn't lose half her life after coming out of the ancestral hall.
As a result, after he came out, he lay in bed for a few days and then became lively and energetic again.
There's nothing wrong at all.
But that's a story for another time, so let's leave it at that for now.
When Fan's mother heard the punishment the village chief mentioned, she panicked.
She pleaded tearfully, "Village chief, please spare Xiaohua. She's still young, she'll change for the better."
The village chief said impatiently, "Stop crying. If your daughter were to be harmed like this time and time again, how would you feel?"
If she weren't my own daughter, I wouldn't feel sorry for her.
"She, Fan Xiaohua, is where she is today because of your improper upbringing."
Then he said to the others, "A few people come up and drag Fan Xiaohua away."
Yuan's mother objected: "Village chief, Fan Xiaohua has done so many wrong things, we all want to see her punished in public."
Many women and men also said in unison:
"Exactly, people like that should be punished in public."
This is called "killing the chicken to scare the monkey."
To prevent people like that from appearing in the village again.
The village chief didn't say anything, just waved his hand and ordered people to start hitting the paddle.
Fan Xiaohua was forcibly pinned to the ground and forced to accept punishment.
At first, she held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that she was a young woman, delicate and frail.
The village chief will definitely tell the person administering the punishment to go easy on him.
But she was wrong; it was already a miracle that the village chief didn't order a severe beating.
Still wanting to release water? What a pipe dream!
When the first lash landed on her, Fan Xiaohua almost bit her tongue off.
It turns out the village chief didn't order anyone to release water; he meant it.
With each slap, Fan Xiaohua gritted her teeth in pain, large beads of sweat dripping down her face.
At first, I wanted to play the hero and keep quiet.
After only three blows, he cried out for mercy.
Fan's mother felt so sorry for her that she wished she could take the punishment in her place.
He tried to step forward to stop them, but was held back by Fan's father.
"If you dare go up there, we'll get a divorce."
Now, Madam Fan dared not move.
Mr. Fan never liked her, and she had to use some underhanded tactics to force him to marry her.
Now their sons and daughters are all grown up, and they even have grandchildren.
If she gets divorced, not only will she become a laughing stock in the whole village, but how will she survive?
Some women, seeing this, turned away, feeling that such punishment was too harsh for a girl.
The women who went out to collect salt this time watched with great interest, showing no pity whatsoever.
Who told Fan Xiaohua to be so troublesome? If she isn't severely punished and taught a lesson...
Who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in the village in the future?
Yun Xiaoxiao remained silent.
But he was deeply grateful to the village chief.
He is an upright and good village chief.
After only twenty or so blows, Fan Xiaohua passed out.
But the village chief didn't tell them to stop.
Even if they faint, they still have to endure the punishment.
If you're capable of courting death, you should also be capable of bearing the consequences.
After the beating was finished, Fan's mother could no longer hold back and pounced on him.
I was thinking of finding a barefoot doctor to take a look, but the village chief spoke up directly.
“Carry her into the ancestral hall.”
Remember, no one is allowed to bring her food or water.
If I find out, I'll end up like her.
The village chief had been to the battlefield, and he didn't even blink at such a scene.
I feel that this punishment is still too lenient.
He tried to kill Yun Xiaoxiao twice.
Ultimately, I was still acting out of personal favoritism.
