Translator: 549690339
Qiao Changshun looked as if he had been struck by lightning, hesitating and trembling, unable to articulate his thoughts.
Qiao Xiaomai had no particular reaction to this. She had never held any expectations towards Qiao Changshun; she would be contented if he altered his attitude, and she would not be upset if he didn’t.
After all, the control of the silver and grains were in her hands. Qiao Changshun’s opinion wasn’t that important.
So she lowered her voice and said, “Father, are you hoping that in the future, grandmother would use her status as an elder to bully me? She is an elder, she can hit me, scold me, and I have no way to retaliate.”
At her words, Qiao Changshun’s lips trembled again.
He had witnessed too many of Sun Family’s outbursts, and recalling each one was heart-wrenching.
“Father, have you forgotten how grandmother used to beat my mother? She almost beat her to death. Today, 1 have made Uncle Five faint with anger, do you think she will let me off?” asked Qiao Xiaomai.
Now, Qiao Changshun was not just feeling anxious, a mist began to cloud his eyes.
He still remembered the battered state of Zhuang Luhe covered in blood, on the brink of death.
Qiao Xiaomai had been watching his expression. Seeing that he was wavering, she said, “Father, don’t worry. It’s only a symbolic disowning to prevent grandmother from abusing her status as an elder in the future, we won’t forget to respect her as we should.”
“We will always remember her kindness in raising you.”
The kindness of nurturing him was the main reason for Qiao Changshun’s obedience over the years.
Seeing Qiao Xiaomai saying she wouldn’t forget, he trembled and seemed to want to nod his agreement.
Sun Family’s ferocity was too terrifying…
He himself could endure it, but he must consider Qiao Xiaomai.
“What about your grandfather?” He couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course, we won’t disown grandfather, only grandmother.” Qiao Xiaomai said, “It’s only symbolic, besides preventing grandmother from causing trouble with her status as an elder, everything else remains the same.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun’s lips trembled again.
But now, this wasn’t because of shock, but because he wanted to agree.
However, the two words “disown” were too shocking for him. He hesitated for a moment and still didn’t give a reply.
He didn’t respond but Qiao Xiaomai took it as his consent. She then turned her attention to Tong Tiehu who knelt at the very front.
Tong Tiehu seemed to be aware and quickly said, “Your honour, although Sun Family is detestable, she fought for her son, Sun Junyan.”
“Sun Junyan forced his mother to kneel to his niece and brother for his own future, which is unfilial. 1 beseech your honour to seek justice for Sun Family.”
Upon hearing these words, Sun Family continued to be stunned.
Qiao Qinghe continued to be dazed.
Qiao Changshun continued to be bewildered.
However, as this involved her darling son, after being stunned for a moment, Sun Family began to struggle fiercely.
Seek justice, my foot!
She hadn’t noticed any sign of Sun Junyan’s unfilial behaviour, her younger son had always been her darling!
She didn’t want the magistrate to seek justice for her at all!
But her struggle was futile. Two women held her down tightly, she could only writhe on the ground like a worm, making sobbing noises.
No one paid any attention to her struggle.
The county magistrate, sitting high on the platform, stroked his beard and said seriously, “This boy’s behaviour is indeed a disgrace to scholars, where is he?”
“Your honour, he was too shocked and fainted just now.”
“When you return to Anping Village, carry out the punishment on my behalf. Fifty lashes and parading him through the streets,” ordered the county magistrate.
“Yes, sir,” Tong Tiehu respectfully responded..
