Chapter 862: Chapter 25: Shouzhe Sternly Scolds Liua Ruolan (Part 3)
Then came the wailing of the Faang Family: "Wang Zongrui, Xuan’er is also my daughter. If you keep hitting her like this, someone will die. You, you bastard, I’ll fight you to the death!"
"Stay to the side! As the saying goes, a loving mother often spoils the child. If it weren’t for you and those doting relatives of the Faang Family, would Wang Yingxuan have turned out like this?" Wang Zongrui’s stern and angry voice echoed through the sky.
"Wang Zongrui, how dare you be so harsh with me... I’m going back to my parents’ home; I’ll take Yingxuan and leave right now. Give me a divorce letter if you have the guts."
"You want a divorce letter, right? Fine, I’ll write it for you now."
"You with the surname Wang, you’ve become quite capable now. You’re about to fully take over the Changning United Manufacturing Department and become a big shot, so you’re planning to use this opportunity to switch wives, right? I, Faang Xunfeng, have followed you for decades, giving birth to two sons and a daughter for you!"
"Unreasonable, say what you want."
"Father, Mother, boohoo~ it’s all my fault. I won’t dare anymore. I promise to study hard and respect every teacher at the Clan Academy..." Wang Yingxuan was truly terrified this time, crying her heart out. If this continued, she feared she might lose her home.
"It’s all because of you, you troublesome girl. I’ll beat you to death," Wang Zongrui angrily said. "I’ve lost even my wife; what use is a daughter like you?"
"That’s right, if it weren’t for your constant misbehavior, how could your father have been beaten so badly? Our loving marriage is now being torn apart by you. Husband, give me the cane, I want to vent my anger too."
Then, successfully drawing attention, Wang Yingxuan smoothly achieved the life milestone of being "double-beaten."
Her cries and screams spread over a hundred yards around, quickly attracting many Wang Clan Members to come and see what was happening.
Originally seeing Wang Yingxuan crying so miserably, the adults in the clan couldn’t bear it and wanted to mediate.
But upon hearing why Wang Yingxuan was being beaten, and that it had even caused discord between Patriarch Shouzhe and Lady Ruolan, their expressions immediately turned grave, and each silently returned to their own courtyards to question their own children.
For those children whose grades and behavior were decent, the adults were relieved, offering some encouragement, and of course, boasting was inevitable later.
For those children with poor grades and behavior, they began to be severely beaten by their parents with darkened faces.
Wang Zongrui is the Second Legitimate Son of the Patriarch. If he can’t manage his children well and ends up like this, what if someone else’s children cause trouble or don’t study well and it reaches Patriarch Shouzhe’s ears?
That night, countless children were beaten for various mistakes, big and small, even for minor oversights such as stepping into the courtyard with the left foot first.
The crying and shouting of the children rose and fell continuously, echoing above the Wang Family’s Main Residence, scattering clouds in the sky to reveal a bright full moon.
That night became an unforgettable collective memory for many children of the same age group.
In the future, the recorded major events of the two famous internal societies of the great Wang Clan, the Celestial Maiden Alliance and the Spring Youth Group, explicitly documented this night of trials on September 21st, in the 3216th year of the Great Qianlong Chang.
And the "grand ancestors" of the Celestial Maiden Alliance and the Spring Youth Group who experienced that night, when recalling that night, all referred to it as the "Prelude to the Endless Winter Night," or "The Night of Wild Youth Leaving Me."
In the long course of time, because of that night, several widely circulated epic works were born.
Wang Yingxuan, the illustrious Valkyrie who made history, detailed the pain of that night in her renowned masterpiece "How the Valkyrie Was Forged," describing how that night’s trials shaped her future path, laying the foundation for her path as a Valkyrie.
And this book has become a treasured manual for parents worldwide who endure hardships hoping for their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes, lighting a bright "beacon of light" for them, showing them direction and dispelling their confusion.
Of course, that’s a story for later.
For now, that night causing countless future youth to pay a heavy price has yet to pass.
In the small courtyard, listening to the collective sounds of children being spanked in each household, Wang Shouzhe’s lips curled with a satisfied smile.
He blissfully tasted a sip of Immortal Tea.
Not easy, not easy~
For the future and foundation of the family, Wang Shouzhe had truly racked his brains and exhausted his efforts.
Now that the family was growing, with more and more children, how could Wang Shouzhe manage it all by himself? Especially as time goes on and with the Wang Clan’s continued expansion, the number of children would eventually reach thousands; how could he manage that?
Naturally, it should require effort from every household, with everyone taking responsibility for the children’s future.
Wang Zongrui’s sacrificial tactic may be harsh, but it’s not wrong. Whose fault is it that he couldn’t teach his daughter properly?
However, Wang Shouzhe knew better that the main reason behind Wang Yingxuan’s unruliness was Faang Xunfeng and her indulgent Faang Family relatives. Their excessive pampering led Wang Yingxuan to become so reckless.
But, after all, Faang Xunfeng was his and Ruolan’s daughter-in-law. In what world does a father-in-law discipline his daughter-in-law?
So, he could only beat his son severely, taking it as a warning to others, and by doing so, stirring up a storm, heralding the reform of the family’s child-rearing, and letting the clan members realize the importance of this matter.
