General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 585: The Crime Deserved (1)

"Why! Xiaoxin, what's wrong with me? Why don't you want to marry me?" Wu Xiaoxin looked at Wu Zichang with a puzzled look on her face.

"Xiao Xin, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to your aunt's house to play?" A man suddenly walked out and questioned Wu Xiaoxin.

"...Big...Big Brother." Wu Xiaoxin was startled and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake. "Big Brother, I...I...I heard that Brother Zichang was going to marry someone else, so I came to see...They are all bad people, they all bullied Brother Zichang."

"Wu Zichang? When did you get to know him?" Wu Qiang stared at his little sister. When she was a child, she had a fever for three days. Later, the doctor said that her brain was damaged and her IQ remained at that of an eight-year-old. She would never grow up.

When did she meet Wu Zichang? She seemed to have a close relationship with him.

If a villager hadn't seen her in the teahouse and ran back to inform him, he wouldn't have known that his younger sister had actually lied to her family and told them that she was going to her aunt's house to play, and ended up in this teahouse?

"Usually! Brother Zichang is very nice to me. Whenever they bully me, it's Brother Zichang who helps me." Wu Xin looked at her elder brother carefully, "Brother, don't be angry. Xiao Xin won't dare to do that again."

"No one bullied Wu Zichang, he just asked for his own death! What did my elder brother tell you before? Don't associate with Wu Zichang, why didn't you listen?" Wu Qiang was a little angry and turned back to glare at Wu Zichang. "Wu Zichang, after you have dealt with the matter here, come to my house and explain to my father in person, otherwise your family can't stay in Wujia Village."

"Brother, you...don't be angry. Brother Zichang is a very good person. Why are you so mean to him..." Seeing that Wu Zichang was so mean to his brother that he dared not speak, Wu Xin was both afraid and angry at Wu Qiang.

"Come home with me and explain to your father why you came to the teahouse!" Wu Qiang snorted coldly, grabbed Wu Xin's hand and said to Wu Xin.

"I don't want to, I don't want to! I don't want to go home. I want to stay here with Brother Zichang. I want to protect him." Wu Xin struggled desperately and refused to go home with Wu Qiang.

"If you don't listen to me, I'll call my second brother over." Wu Qiang threatened, suppressing his anger.

Sure enough, when Wu Xin heard that her eldest brother was going to call her second brother over, she immediately froze and dared not struggle anymore. Seeing this, Wu Qiang quickly pulled Wu Xin out of the teahouse.

After Wu Xin was pulled away by her elder brother, Wu Zichang had no one to help him and he sat on the ground in silence.

"Tell me! What do you want to do? According to your crime, the government should first give you fifty lashes with the cane and three years of imprisonment. You cheated me of twenty taels. You should know that twenty taels is a serious crime. You may be beaten to death on the spot." Ji Xiaomu said lightly. Wu Zichang was already sweating after hearing this. He ran to Ji Xiaomu and knelt down to kowtow.

"Boss, boss, I was wrong, please spare my life. I am the only son of my parents..." Wu Zichang cried bitterly. He really knew he was wrong.

He thought that if he met the official, he would surely be put to death. He also took twenty taels of silver from his boss. This crime alone was enough to make him suffer several punishments.

The reason why he was fearless before was that the women would not make a big deal even if they were to know about it, otherwise, once their reputation was ruined, they would never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

But now... he only hated himself for taking the twenty taels of silver from his boss yesterday. If he hadn't taken it, he could still get away with it.
