Chapter 36: Driving Away, Punishment

Ning Shaoqing’s overbearing existence covered the whole courtyard and made it quiet at once.

Elder Wanger was daunted for a moment, but he still tried one more time, “But, she...”

“She’s my wife. Whether what she does is right or wrong, I’ll teach her. Other people have no stance to blame her.” His face was cold and words forthright and fierce.

The appearance of Ning Shaoqing instantly reversed the situation.

His tone was so freezing that elder Wang had no more motivation to refute him, but it gave sweet spring water to Mo Qianxue’s plummeting arid heart. She felt moisturized bodily.

Drip by drip, trace by trace, she was infiltrated by his intense love.

After the speech, Ning Shaoqing no longer paid attention to elder Wanger who was now coughing loudly to conceal his embarrassment. Instead, he walked to Mo Qianxue, eyes full of love and pamper.

He stuck out one hand, saying gently, “Sorry for coming late!” f reewe bnovel

Only by one sentence, her nose went slightly sour. There was still one person in this world who would like to love and protect her.

Her soft small hand gently put into his firm large hand, “Thank you...”

“Don’t.” The man gradually held tighter of her hand and replied gently, pulling her behind his back.

At the moment, Mo Qianxue’s heart was flowing with warmth. This man who protected her was her husband.

Only that one claim that my wife should be taught by me indicated that whether she did right or wrong, he would always stand by her side, and that others had no right to try to reprimand her.

Ning Shaoqing took a disdainful glance at the hateful couple that was still shouting and crying in the middle of the yard, frowning...

He looked down and when he looked up again, there was a smile playing on his lips, pretty but irrefutable, “These two people have frequently acted obscene deeds and repeatedly slandered my wife. I don’t think they deserve to live in the Wang village any longer.”

His eyes fixed on the village head for a long time, “If we can’t get a clear and satisfactory reply and a fair result, then tomorrow we’ll leave the Wang village, and forgive us that our gratitude towards you for saving our lives could only be delayed till the future.”

The meaning couldn’t be more obvious. They must choose between Ning and Zhao.

Mo Qianxue knew clearly how mentally exhausted he has been. All he wanted was a peaceful life. But now, to protect her, he was willing to give up peace and took her to the ends of the earth.

If Wang village wanted to keep them, then they must drive the Zhao couple out of the village.

The move was tough, but if it would do them good once and for all.

If they didn’t want to keep them, they would naturally find a place where they would belong. Ning Shaoqing was a scholar and qualified teacher. Wherever he arrived, the village would warmly welcome him.

On this continent, being driven out of a village meant being expelled by the whole clan, which was the greatest negation of the person as well as the greatest humiliation and shame for a life time that could never be washed out.

Ning Shaoqing’s words caught the Zhao couple by surprise. At a time, they even turned still and speechless from fear.

The words also made the teacup in the village head’s hand shake.

Zhao Ergou was really agitated, rushing over and spitting out words without thinking, “Fuck you two outsiders! Fuck off! Go back to where you come from...”

“Stop it!” The village head cast the teacup on the ground. With a crispy breaking sound and a ferocious scolding, Zhao Ergou immediately kneeled down on the ground out of scare. f(r)eewebnovel

“I was just choking with the tea. I didn’t expect that you should push the situation to such an irreparable extent.” The village head looked sullen, stating, “Zhao Ergou has committed moral flaws. From this day on, the Zhao couple is excelled out of Wang village. Before tomorrow morning, you must move out, otherwise you shall be beaten and moved out by clubs.”

The words of the village head were powerful and decisive, but Ning Shaoqing didn’t plan to made any compromise, his eyes looking right into those of elder Wanger, “I’ve always heard our fellows say that elders act in a wise, reasonable and just way. Today, I’m lucky to have witnessed it, and I really admire that elders not only love juniors, but also show such care and tolerance to such disgusting juniors who knew nothing but cheating and slandering others. Shame that I myself am not a forgiving person as elders. I think I really should ‘reflect’ myself.”

Ning Shaoqing satirized but didn’t show his anger, but the irony was enough to make village head speechless from shame. Elder Wanger’s face was even more colorful and complicated.

In a while, the village head pulled his face, saying, “Elder Wanger. As one of the village elders, how can you be so unclear-minded that you trusted and biased wrong-doers. Accept your punishment and reflect yourself in the ancestral hall for seven days.”

Elder Wanger had thousands of thoughts in his minds.

The Ning couple were significant to the development of Wang village. They must prevent them from leaving. But first they had to appease the couple, so he must accept the punishment! He never expected that at such an old age, he still needed to kneel before ancestors to reflect himself. What a face-losing thing!

In a down mood, he turned and got out of the yard, walking in the direction of the ancestral hall. Judging by his back, he seemed to instantly get ten years older.

Zhao Ergou and his wife knew at this time that no matter how hard they struggled and how loud they cried would be futile, so they had no choice but kneel down on the ground, begging and pleading.

The village head paid no attention to them but looked at the Ning couple, saying modestly, “Mr. Ning, is the result fair and just enough?”

“Of course. I’ve always respected you for your character. In the future, there will be many occasions that we need your help. Here we should thank you beforehand. But, I think it’d be better that you treat your coughing disease.”

The head flushed and coughed again involuntarily, sounding extremely embarrassed, “Since the problem is solved, we should leave now. Sorry to have bothered you.”

Saying these, the head turned and found the two hateful people still kneeling on the ground. His annoyance happened to have no vent, seeing these two trouble-makers, the village head ordered, “Come on, give them twenty times club-beating and send them away at once!”

The village head was a person who always kept his words. The two collapsed on the ground upon hearing the words.

Sister Zhao’s lost eyes swept over the crowd, and suddenly she dashed, as if on drug, to one old man in the crowd, “Dad, help me, please...

The old man slapped her in the face even before she finished, “Today all the fellows are witnesses. From today, you’re no longer my daughter. I don’t have such an unfilial daughter like you. And you’re no longer a daughter of Wang village either.”

Then he turned away and left in a hurry, as if he feared the unfortune might infected him and annoyed Ning Shaoqing who might accused him of an irresponsible father that didn’t educate his daughter well. Then the village head would drive out all his families.

Zhao Ergou suddenly recovered from his depression, lifting his foot and kicking down his wife, “It’s all your fault; you stupid woman...”

Sister Zhao didn’t yield, taking out her sharp claws and scratching Zhao Ergou’s face.

“It was your idea...”

The couple were instantly at each other’s throat.

Ning Shaoqing took a glimpse at them and snorted, “It seems that club-beating is not enough...”

The village head coughed hard again, and then several strong men surnamed Wang rushed out, pulled the two people off each other, and dragged them out.

Inside the yard, people only heard sounds of cursing, crying, ping, bang and so on. Obviously, the beating already started.

“Get out now! If you don’t leave before night, we’ll beat you up again...”

Before village head finished his words, the two dizzy people dying on the ground like dead dog instantly resumed their strength, getting up and running to their home carrying their bleeding buttocks as if they were chased down by a group of wolves.

Since ancient times, the one that expelled out of his own village could be legally killed without facing any consequences.
