Qiao Xiaomai also found this hateful.
She never expected that things would their course this way.
As for Zhuang Luhe’s actions, she had always refrained from judging, but now that she has learned of this from Qiao Chang’an, she truly began to sympathize with her.
Anyone who forces a woman and wants to sexually assault her, is a beast, all should be torn into pieces and fed to the dogs!
Recalling her own experiences, she gritted her teeth and with her small face tense, without hesitation, she raised her foot and harshly kicked Qiao Chang’an.
Qiao Chang’an let out a mournful scream and rolled a few times across the ground – he was kicked away.
His scream woke Qiao Changshun from his stupor.
Qiao Changshun’s nose soured, his eye sockets were hot, and his chest was congested.
Was this all necessary!
He had been honest for half his life, hardworking for half his life, dutiful for half his life, being bullied for half his life, just what sins had he committed to warrant such hate?
He might not be a good husband or a good father, he could understand if Zhuang Luhe and Qiao Xiaomai hated him.
But why should the Sun family hate him?
He devoted his life to filial piety, even at the expense of his own family.
And why should Qiao Chang’an hate him?
It was clearly Qiao Chang’an’s own laziness and lack of ambition that made him unattractive to Zhuang Luhe. Why did he blame him?
Was his honesty and integrity also wrong?
Was helping Zhuang Luhe out and resulting in him falling for him his fault?
They were brothers, how big of a grudge was it to harm him ?
Breaking his leg wasn’t enough, they even burned the wheat.
Nearly ten thousand catties of wheat, that’s a mountain of wheat!
To get revenge on him, they even committed such a crazy act?
Where was their conscience? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Where was their moral sanity?
Besides, all these years, they had been eyeing Zhuang Luhe!
Thinking of Zhuang Luhe’s appearance, and her exit in the early morning, his heated eyes filled with tears. Qiao Changshun’s body trembled as he staggered into the doorway of his home.
He closed the courtyard door, blocking the various gazes and commotion outside the door.
Looking at the closed door, Qiao Xiaomai’s anger intensified, took a deep breath, she looked at Qiao Chang’an, her voice cold, “Since you’ve confessed everything, then prepare for your punishment.”
Qiao Chang’an had just been kicked by her, he was in great pain. On hearing her words, he quickly turned to Ma Dongshu, “Mr Ma, you said I could get a reduced sentence!”
“Yes, yes, turning yourself in can indeed reduce your sentence. But the crimes you committed are serious.” Ma Dongshu looked troubled, “In accordance with ‘Daqi Laws’, your act of intentionally injuring someone not only warrants a sentence but also a fine.”
“Changshun’s leg was broken, this is serious hurt, which may mean a sentence of over ten years. Even if it gets halved, it’s still five years, also, you’ll have to pay a fine.”
“You burnt the wheat, this behavior is appalling, that’s almost ten thousand catties of wheat. Even the emperor himself may not have this audacity, hence you can be sentenced with ten years imprisonment, plus the losses of wheat should be compensated by you.”
“So, even if we reduce the final sentence, you’ll have to serve ten years in prison and pay a fine of forty-five taels of silver.”
Ten years in jail and fine of forty-five taels silver.
These words pounded on Qiao Chang’an like heavy hammers, each blow knocking him dizzy, reducing him to a helpless state.
