Chapter 154

Maybe Gu Beihuai's eyes were too disgusted, Mrs. An got up and walked to Qi Cunyi, raised her voice and said, "Because everyone is here, the ins and outs of this matter are now clear, if I hear someone else in the future Bring this matter to our house, then don't blame the old lady for being rude."

"Of course, Aunt An, don't worry, we know."

"Yes, we know."

Mrs. An nodded in satisfaction, turned her head to look at Qi Cunyi, and continued: "Village Chief, this matter is clear. What about Wu Fang and her daughter wronging my Beihuai family? Our Beihuai family will have a book with Yanshu next year Those who participated in the palace examination together have merit and fame, so they can't let others slander them for nothing, if it goes to the government, it will be worth twenty boards."

"This..." Qi Cunyi was in a difficult moment, looked at Old Man An and said, "Brother An thinks how to deal with it?"

After being silent for a while, old man An said: "Bei Huai was frightened and was slandered by their mother and daughter. The spread of the word will affect the reputation. Let's just listen to the thoughts of the person involved."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Gu Beihuai paused, frowned and said, "Let's follow the rules of the government, twenty boards, and this matter will be over."

Nie Wenmei, who was crying bitterly, looked up at Gu Beihuai instantly, as if she couldn't believe what he said.

Wu Fang next to her even got up directly from the ground, pointing at Gu Beihuai and yelling: "You unconscionable man, my Wenmei loves you so much, you actually want to beat her, you really are a good-looking man With a vicious heart."

As she spoke, Wu Fang walked up to Qi Cunyi again, tearfully tearing at his sleeves and begging: "Village chief, how can Wenmei bear twenty boards? Isn't this killing her? I just gave birth to such a child." Daughter, if she has an emergency, how can you let me live, I just die."

After finishing speaking, Wu Fang's eyes turned hard, and she slammed into the pillar behind Qi Cunyi. Before she got close, she was kicked away by Gu Beiqing, and she lay on the ground supporting her waist and howling.

Gu Beiqing shook his foot in disgust, then went back to stand beside An's family in a proper manner, without any expression on his face, as if he wasn't the one who just kicked someone.

An Zhinan looked at Gu Beiqing in surprise, but he did not expect that he would take the initiative to save people.

"I just don't want her to spoil the eyes of Grandpa and Grandma An."

An Zhinan was startled when Gu Beiqing suddenly approached to speak, then nodded and said in a low voice, "This is the ancestral hall in the village, it's not good to see blood."

Gu Beiqing raised her eyebrows and finally showed her first smile today.

Qi Cunyi looked at the old man An and the old lady An, and saw that their expressions were normal, and there was no sign of letting go, so he knew that twenty strokes of the board had not escaped.

Turning to look at Wu Fang, frowned and said: "If you think this is inappropriate, then we will go to the government."

Wu Fang felt a lump in her throat, and looked at Qi Cunyi in disbelief.

"Mom, it's my fault, don't talk about it, twenty boards, I'll suffer."

Wu Fang stared blankly at the daughter in her arms, and shook her head after a long while before saying: "How can you do that, you are so weak, you will be useless after twenty strokes of the board. If you are in good health, don’t be afraid.”

After speaking, he raised his head to look at Gu Beihuai, and said sadly, "I'll take the board for my daughter, right?"

Gu Beihuai closed his eyes and nodded: "It's okay for a daughter not to teach her mother's fault."

Before Wu Fang could heave a sigh of relief, Gu Beihuai changed the subject: "However, the slanderous words came from the mouths of the two of you after all, so you should bear it together. Each of you hit the board ten times, and this matter is over."

Knowing that there was no room for maneuver, Wu Fang finally nodded in recognition.

Qi Cunyi arranged for two middle-aged men in the village to each hold a long board, and the wailing of the mother and daughter instantly resounded through the entire ancestral hall.

After the beating was over, the matter was over, everyone agreed with Gu Beihuai's decision, and even one or two felt that twenty blows with the board was too light.

This kind of reputation-destroying person should not be easily let go. After all, Gu Beihuai is still a person with fame. If his reputation is ruined, his reputation will be ruined. Even if such a person is killed, it is not an exaggeration.

Of course, most people still think that twenty strokes of the board are reasonable, that is, to vent their anger and punish others.

When the matter was over, everyone dispersed one after another, and no one went to help the two mother and daughter who were lying on the ground and screaming in a low voice.

Mrs. An ignored it even more, stood up and said to the people behind her: "Let's go, we should go back, Beihuai was wronged today, and my grandma will steam you two egg custards at noon, to suppress the shock."

Gu Beihuai's heart suddenly felt warm, and he smiled warmly and said, "Grandma An is the best."

"As long as you know I'm fine, let's go."

The An family left, but none of them gave the two people on the ground their eyes.

When there was no one else in the ancestral hall, a middle-aged man walked in from the outside, looked at the two lying down with disgust, stepped forward, and pulled them up from the ground without any tenderness, so he was quite dissatisfied Said: "Still leaving? Do you still want to continue to embarrass yourself here?"

"father?"

"Master, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man was none other than Nie Fu. He stayed outside the ancestral hall and did not show up. He waited for everyone to leave before entering.

"The bad things you have done have spread in the village, or the whole town will know about it, and you have the nerve to ask me why I am here. The old, the old is restless, and it is not a safe thing to give birth to a young child. Why not? When I was born, I was thrown into the river and drowned, so as not to embarrass me, go back quickly, and I will tell you slowly when I go back."

Wu Fang and Nie Wenmei supported each other to get up. They were startled by Nie Fu's angry voice, and they staggered as they walked further and further away with Nie Fu.

On the An's side, they went to the ancestral hall before they had time to cook lunch. After such a long delay, they had already passed their usual meal time. At this time, everyone was a little hungry.

Mrs. An knew that everyone was hungry, so she smiled and ran to the kitchen to cook. She was going to eat something simple for lunch. It was just right to make a pot of noodles, and she could also give a few small steamed egg custards along the way.

At the dinner table, under the relaxed atmosphere deliberately created by Mrs. An, everyone's mood improved a lot, especially the two brothers Gu Beiqing, who would say a few words from time to time, and there were still some changes.

"Grandpa An, Grandma An, and Uncle An, Aunt An, thank you for trusting me today, otherwise I would really feel troublesome."

Old man An smiled and nodded: "They are all from my own family. If you don't believe in your own family, you can still trust outsiders. Isn't that a problem? Although we haven't been together for a long time, we believe in Yanshu's vision, and we also believe in yours. For people."

Mrs. An nodded in agreement: "No, just like Nie Wenmei, she was ashamed to pour dirty water on Bei Huai, and she didn't look in the mirror to see if she was worthy. It was really Hong Fei who said that the toad wanted to eat swan meat. .”
