Translator: 549690339 |
Zhao Shufen was startled, then let out a sharp scream, she lunged at Ma Dongshu, “Impossible, impossible!”
Ma Dongshu looked prosperous, but his body was extremely agile. He deftly avoided Zhao Shufen’s actions and frowned, “Why is it impossible, do you think I’d lie to you?”
Just then, Tong Tiehu and Qiao Dami appeared at the corner of the street, he raised his hand and pointed to Tong Tiehu, “If you don’t believe me, ask your village chief.”
Zhao Shufen turned her head and looked at Tong Tiehu.
Tong Tiehu’s face was solemn, extremely serious, she hesitated, remembered Tong Tiehu’s ruthlessly efficient style, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in blood, her voice was sharp, full of thick despair.
Just a moment ago, Qiao Chang’an had confessed in front of Qiao Xiaomai because he was desperate.
Now it was her turn to despair.
Her husband was going to jail and had to pay dozens of taels of silver as a fine.
The family was ruined, what was she going to do?
She had always known about Qiao Chang’an’s lust for Zhuang Luhe, but she never thought Qiao Chang’an would have an affair with Zhuang Luhe, let alone that Qiao Chang’an would break Qiao Changshun’s leg and burn his wheat.
She didn’t know about any of these.
Did they hear her? She was innocent!
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved and desperate she became, she cried louder and kept slapping her thighs, “1 can’t live anymore, just let me die, let me die!”
No one tried to console her.
Her two daughters and son were already scared and stood still on the side.
At this time, Tong Tiehu approached, Ma Dongshu said, “Brother Tong, Qiao Chang’an confessed. He not only sabotaged Changshun, causing him to break his leg, but also burned Changshun’s wheat.”
“Did he admit it himself?” Tong Tiehu asked.
“He admitted it himself, everyone present heard it.”
“Then send him to the county town and let the county grandee decide.” Tong Tiehu raised his hand, pointing at a few onlookers, “Tie up Qiao Chang’an.”
He turned to Qiao Xiaomai, “Xiaomai, is your family’s donkey cart idle?”
“The donkey cart is idle.”
“Ok, tie him to the donkey cart and go to the county town.” Tong Tiehu made a sweeping gesture, making the decision.
For his orders, the villagers of Anping Village always executed them efficiently, those who should pull the donkey cart pulled the donkey cart, those who should tie up people did so, clearly divided the work.
“Chief, chief, you can’t do this, if he’s going to jail, my family is done, we’re done!” Upon seeing this, Zhao Shufen knelt on the ground, moving step by step towards Tong Tiehu, pleading desperately.
The desperation and sorrow expressed in her tone and expression could be palpably felt by everyone present. Discover more novels at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Tong Tiehu felt it too, he lowered his head, glanced at the disheveled Zhao Shufen and frowned, “Just because your family is ruined, it means we should overlook your husband’s deeds?”
“So by your logic, if anyone’s in a desperate situation, they can start doing evil?”
“Furthermore, your family didn’t steal wheat because you w’ere starving, he burned ten thousand catties of wheat, do you understand? Who can sympathize with such behavior?”
“Zhao Shufen, tell me, tell everyone, who can sympathize with your husband’s behavior?”
“They may not sympathize with him, but what about me? Chief, I have three children, what will happen to me and my children if he’s imprisoned! 1 didn’t know anything about what he did!”
