The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 48 Punishment
The people from Shanyang Village? The Wang family's expression immediately changed; they now had absolutely no goodwill towards Shanyang Village.

"Don't stand there, you're pregnant," Madam Feng said gently to the young woman.

The young woman's face showed gratitude, and she was about to open the bamboo fence and go in when she heard Madam Feng point to a large rock outside the fence and say, "You can sit there, but don't get too close to us, lest something happens to you orphans and widows and you blame us."

Ms. Feng wasn't trying to be sarcastic; she genuinely meant it, hence her exceptionally sincere expression.

Of course, the most truthful words are also the most hurtful.

Middle-aged woman: "..."

Young woman: "..."

Since they were there to ask for favors, they naturally didn't dare to put on airs.

So I went over and sat down on the big rock.

Only then did the Wang family members step forward and stand inside the bamboo fence, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from them.

Liu picked up little Ayu and turned her face to the side so she wouldn't see the other person's expression.

Wang Chuanman gripped his machete tightly: "Tell me, what kind of trouble are you people from Shanyang Village up to now? Didn't we tell you not to come to our Hu Family Village again?"

"We really had no other choice but to come to you." The young woman was somewhat afraid of Wang Chuanman, but she had no choice but to say it.

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Ayu and adopted a sincere expression.

Liu quickly pulled Xiao Ayu closer to her, her brows furrowed tightly: "What does your Shanyang Village's mess have to do with my daughter? Don't look at her anymore, or I'll be very rude to you!"

The young woman quickly said, "I didn't mean to harm her. We just came to ask her for help because...because..."

She couldn't continue speaking.

"I—" Wang Chuanman swung his woodcutter's axe again, his face grim. "Speak your mind, or shut up. Stop babbling on and on. Are you eating croton seeds or something? We're busy, we don't have time to waste with you!"

He dislikes anyone who cries, except for his wife.

Hujia Village suffered but didn't cry, so what right do the people of Shanyang Village have to cry?

If it weren't for the fact that the other woman was heavily pregnant, he would have simply grabbed his machete and scared her away.

He can't let anyone bully his precious daughter whom he finally got together with, not even a girl!

unlucky!

With that swipe of the machete, a large gap was torn open in the bamboo fence, startling not only the people in the fence but also the Wang family.

They had never seen Wang Chuanman like this before.

"The chieftain wants to drive us out..." The young woman was so frightened that she stopped crying. She clutched her stomach and finally managed to explain what had happened.

It turned out that the county magistrate of Cao County sent someone to Shanyang Village to read out the verdict in front of the entire village.

They also urged the people of Shanyang Village to implement the judgment as soon as possible.

If we truly follow the bandit theory, all the men in Shanyang Village, including the village chief, should be hanged.

In the Great Chang Kingdom, bandits caught on the spot could be executed without consequence.

However, considering that Hujia Village was a villager and that the county magistrate was concerned about the future relationship between Hujia Village and neighboring villages, he sentenced Hujia Village for "picking quarrels and provoking trouble".

Even so, Shanyang Village protested its innocence and expressed various grievances.

"If the clan chief wants to protect the other villagers, he has to expel us orphans and widows from the clan and drive us out of the village." The young woman's eyes reddened as she spoke. She wanted to cry, but when she thought of Wang Chuanman's expression, she dared not cry.

"Isn't this something you brought on yourselves? Whose fault is it?"

It's unreasonable to bully the victim and then come to their house to play the victim!

Ma didn't particularly like the people of Shanyang Village. Feeling that the men were reluctant to speak, she simply said directly, "I advise you to go back to where you came from as soon as possible, otherwise, if the other villagers find out, you'll be in big trouble!"

There are still more than a dozen people in Hujia Village who are lying in bed, unable to do anything. This is a life-threatening situation during the busy farming season.

Although Shanyang Village was ordered to pay compensation, judging from their current state, it's estimated that they won't be able to pay it within a year or two.

If they see people from Shanyang Village then, they might get so angry that they give them a good beating.

Seeing that they were truly losing patience, the middle-aged woman dared not continue crying. Wiping away her tears, she said, "The clan chief said that as long as we obtain your forgiveness and get Ayu to forgive us, we can plead with the county magistrate. I'm practically half-buried, I can do anything, but my two children are still young, they can't leave the village..."

It turned out that all the men from Shanyang Village had been sentenced. The paralyzed ones were handed over to their local families for safekeeping, so they didn't have to go to jail. The others, whether injured or not, were all detained according to the severity of their actions.

With a criminal record, their children will face greater difficulties in the future, and their entire village and clan will be implicated, with their taxes being higher than those of other families.

If it is corvée labor, they will be the first to be conscripted.

The elders of Shanyang Village decided to expel all these people from the village, along with their families.

Those who are paralyzed will be given a dilapidated house to live in, but they will not be allowed to go anywhere else, and no help will be provided.

“According to the elders’ arrangements, if things continue like this, how will my husband survive? He’ll just be waiting to die!” the middle-aged woman said. “My husband is an honest man. He only came to find you because the village chief told him to. He hasn’t eaten the baby, nor has he laid a hand on you. He shouldn’t die…”

Liu couldn't take it anymore and immediately stopped them, saying, "That's enough! We don't have time to listen to your Shanyang Village's messy affairs! You should go back. We will never forgive you. If you cause trouble here again, I'll tell our village chief to file another complaint against you!"

The middle-aged woman's pupils contracted.

"You can't do this! You're forcing us into a dead end!"

The little boy next to the middle-aged woman had been staring hatefully at Xiao Ayu. Hearing what Liu said, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault, you unwanted bastard!"

"You're a jinx! If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't be paralyzed!"

"You jinx! You bastard! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget—"

The middle-aged woman tried to cover the child's mouth, but it was too late; he had already screamed.

The Wang family's grandsons, who had been standing silently to the side, immediately widened their eyes upon hearing this.

"What are you saying, you piece of junk?!"

Wang Wulang took a single step, leaped over the bamboo fence, and rushed towards the little boy.

He raised his hand high.

The little boy instinctively stretched out his arm to block, but Wang Wulang instantly stretched out his other hand.

"Snapped!"

It slapped hard across the little boy's face.

The little boy cried out in pain and immediately covered his face with his hands.

Wang Wulang then took the opportunity to attack his other side.

"Snapped!"

Extra loud.

The little boy's face quickly turned red.

Wang Wulang's expression was even fiercer than the little boy's: "Who do you think you are, daring to insult my sister!"

Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang rushed over along the split bamboo fence. Wang Wulang pushed the little boy to the ground, and Wang Qilang straddled his waist and started beating him.

By the time Wang Silang and his men arrived, they couldn't find a place to attack.

Everything happened so fast that the middle-aged woman had barely reacted and tried to stop it when the little boy had already been punched several times.

He was initially stubborn, but after being punched twice, he burst into tears.

"Your Hu Family Village is bullying people! Waaaaah! Mother, save me! Waaaah..."

"What are you doing? Let go of my son!"

She went to pull Wang Liulang and the others, but the child tied to their backs also woke up and started crying loudly. She wanted to turn her head away to comfort him.

"Tell them to stop! Have you all gone mad in Hujia Village?!" The middle-aged woman was both anxious and angry, turning to Wang Chuanman and the others.

"Oh, it's our fault for not teaching the children well." Mrs. Ma apologized, but her face was full of sarcasm, and she didn't make the slightest move. "Just like you."

The middle-aged woman's face immediately turned pale.

Meanwhile, Wang Wulang took the opportunity to kick the little boy in the buttocks again.
