Chapter 31: Heavy Punishment

Jingbei Bo Mansion, main hall.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The sound of the bamboo stick whipping mixed with screams, one after another, from the door to the hall. The old lady Zhao had a tense face and held the armrests on the chair with both hands. No matter what, the two beaten outside were always their own grandsons. The old lady was strict in implementing the family law and was not vague at all, but the sound of being beaten reached her ears, which was heartbreaking. After holding back for a while, the old lady finally spoke: "Okay, bring those two bastards in!"

When Lin Fu and Lin Shou were beaten outside, Zhou and Xia were kneeling in front of the old lady. Although Lin Fu and Lin Shou were not from Zhou, they had always been raised by Zhou. However, Zhou was kind and thought of Xia's mother, so they allowed them to go to Xia's place to accompany her from time to time. At this moment, Lin Fu and Lin Shou were beaten outside, and Xia's biological mother was naturally heartbroken, and Zhou was also not feeling well. But after all, the two of them did not discipline their children well, and Zhou was the first to be criticized by the old lady.

Four healthy servants supported Lin Fu and Lin Shou and dragged Lin Shou in. Their bodies were in a mess, their faces could not tell whether they were sweating or tears. Red marks were stamped on their butts, and some places seemed to be bleeding. Xia looked over and fainted. The girl next to her rushed over and carried her back to the house.

The old lady looked at her two grandsons with a calm face and said, "Did it hurt?"

Lin Shou's face was pale and he was so painful that he couldn't speak. Lin Fu was stronger and could not stand it. Seeing his grandmother's question, Lin Fu still said "um" with lingering fear, for fear that he would make the old lady angry if he answered too late.

"It hurts? Humph, I also believe that if you suck this bamboo stick, it will definitely hurt a lot." The old lady said, scanning the people in the hall, including Lin Nan standing there. "I beat you to let you know the lesson. I want you to remember what can be done and what can't be done. The more you hit you, the harder you remember."

The old lady stopped and continued, "Especially you two, you forgot to hurt after healing the scar. The matter between the pond last year was not far away? The mistress almost lost his life! Didn't he get hit by a bamboo stick at that time? But how are you doing now? Not only did the two of them not remember, but this time they also dragged the young man to the side of the pond together!"

Previously, Zhou told the whole story in front of the old lady. Of course, it was the words Xia said to her. If Lin Fu and Lin Shou had hidden this part of Lin Nan who deliberately wanted to put Lin Nan into the pond, on the surface, this passage could make sense. Moreover, even if the adults were smart, they might not know everything. The most important thing is that except for the three people involved, no one in the room would have thought that such a conflict would arise between the brothers at a young age.

No one thought much. The old lady just wanted to teach them a lesson. Thinking about the scene yesterday, no one was afraid. If Lin Nan didn't know the nature of water and didn't call anyone... After that incense stick of time, the Lin family would have three males missing, and the old lady would have three grandchildren!

There are not many male males in the Lin family. If Lin Fu, Lin Shou and Lin Nan died young and Lin Qi was another sick person, the only grandson left would be Lin Zhi, who was only four years old in Changning Mansion. So whenever he thinks about it, the old lady feels scared and she has never closed her eyes last night. Today, the bamboo stick has been deliberately extended for a lot of time.

"Brothers and play together intimately, this is a good thing, but you have to know the right way! Isn't the lesson last year enough? If it weren't for the servants' timely going, I would have lost three grandchildren at once!" The old lady became more and more angry, and her breath became heavy, and her face turned red. Lin Wen and Lin Wu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and Chen was also relieved. Zhou was also scared and knelt on the ground and did not get up, but his eyes were filled with worry.

After a while, Zhao took a sip of tea, took a breath, looked at the red marks on the buttocks of the two grandchildren, and waved his hands to the people down: "Take them down and raise them well." Then he turned around and looked at Zhou and said coldly: "Aunt Xia, don't talk about her. As a mistress, you are negligent in discipline with your children. I saw Fu'er and Shou'er. I don't know how to make progress in their studies and play around all day. If you live a few years, you don't know what it will be like! If you don't make a fortune, you will become two idle people. Wouldn't it be a shame for our Lin family if it spreads out? Wouldn't it make your father-in-law be humiliated as well as the underground!"

As soon as this statement was said, not only did Zhou be so shocked that he kowtowed repeatedly, but Lin Wen, Lin Wu, Chen Zheng, and the maids and servants below all knelt down. It would be a very serious crime to make the underground uneasy! Zhao's words were a little serious, which was not unreasonable. If Lin Fu and Lin Shou continued, they might be able to make a living.

"And you!" The old lady seemed to be disliked by everyone, and pointed her hand at her youngest son Lin De, who was kneeling in the crowd: "My four sons of the Lin family have their own strengths, but you are not knowledgeable and know how to wander around! She is a uncle, but she can't show off her good looks for her nephews. Instead, she is teasing the two unfilial sons to play with you all day long!" The old lady glared at Lin De, which scared Lin De to shrink his neck and his head lowered. "If there is no result this autumn, don't pretend to be a cultivator, just go out to make a living." Lin De was shocked when he heard this, his face felt bitter, but he dared not say anything.

Zhao's husband, Shilang Lin, had four sons in his lifetime. Lin Wen, Lin and Wu each made achievements. Although his third son Lin He was not a member of the officialdom, he was good at managing the business. After many failures, he simply gave up the scientific expedition and took his money to the south to start a business. After a few days, he had a great scale. Only his youngest son Lin De, who was not successful in literature and Wu, was born with a lazy temperament. Except for looking like Shilang Lin, there was no trace of Shilang Lin on his body.

The old lady scolded her for a long time and was a little tired. She looked at the dark and kneeling on the ground and frowned: "Get up." She said that, and turned to look at Lin Nan: "After talking about the big one, I have to talk about you. Although you are a small one, you are also a person who knows the matter. You should also know where to go and where not to go. If your brothers ask you to go, you can follow me regardless of where you go. Although you don't hit your bamboo stick this time, you have to reflect on it. Go, this lunch will be spared from you, and kneel in the ancestral hall!"

All three children were fined. Although everyone felt that Lin Nan was a little unfair, not only had to kneel on the ancestral hall when he was hungry, but the old lady was angry and no one dared to speak. Then the Zhou family was also punished. Zhou family was not disciplined effectively. If such a thing happened, the matter in the mansion was temporarily handed over to Zheng family to half the monthly money. Xia family also reduced the monthly money by half. If they neglected to discipline the family in the future, they would be afraid that the monthly money would not be the monthly money...
