823 The Matter of Lin Laosan’s Family
No one stopped li Cuihua from crying and making a scene.
Ever since Lin yuelan became rich, Lin Laosan’s family had been in trouble. One incident after another showed that Lin Laosan’s family was indeed a jinx.
Not only were they unlucky, but the people they implicated were even more unlucky.
Now, only the Lin family’s first son’s family had managed to maintain a certain degree of integrity due to the favoritism of Lin Laosan and his wife. Lin Erniu was imprisoned, Lin sanniu’s family was chased out of the house, and Lin Siniu divorced his wife.
Now, Lin Siniu, who had divorced his wife, was actually having an affair with Zhou guixiang, whose husband was in jail. This was a disgrace to the Lin family Village and damaged their reputation. This was an insult to public morals and they had to be severely punished.
“Elders, how do you think we should handle this?”
One of the villagers asked with a frown.
For what Zhou guixiang and Lin Siniu had done, Zhou guixiang should be drowned. As for Lin Siniu, he would definitely be punished!
However, there had never been a case of a woman being drowned in the village for being immoral.
Back then, after a few men had come to Lin yuelan’s place, Lin Laosan had planned to use this as an excuse to get a few elders to come forward and drown Lin yuelan. In the end, things developed out of Lin Laosan’s expectations. Two of the four elders had died that day, and his family had also been labeled as jinxes.
After that, this matter was never mentioned again.
However, they didn’t expect that someone would really cross the line after that incident. An adulterous couple was having an affair, and it was between a brother and a sister-in-law. This was a violation of public morals. If word got out, the Lin family Village’s reputation would be completely tarnished. In the future, who would dare to marry their daughter into the Lin family Village? Who would dare to take a girl from the Lin family Village?
Therefore, they had to be severely punished for this.
Lin Yiwei asked the other two elders, “uncle Jiu, uncle An, what do you think we should do? ”
Lin Jiu sighed and said, ” it’s really unfortunate for the village to have such a scandal. They must be severely punished. Otherwise, the Lin family Village will lose face.” This meant that Zhou guixiang had to be drowned.
Lin An’s brows were also tightly furrowed. He said sternly, ” Zhou guixiang must be drowned!”
From their point of view, as a woman, she should behave herself and not seduce other men.
Lin Yiwei did not nod or shake his head. He only asked Lin Laosan seriously, ” Lin Laosan, what do you have to say? ”
For Lin Laosan, after such an embarrassing thing happened to his family, he definitely wanted Zhou guixiang to disappear immediately and get rid of this humiliation.
Lin Laosan said angrily, ” we’ll do it according to the elders’ decision!” It meant that he agreed for Zhou guixiang to die.
Zhou guixiang was tied up and had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth. When she heard that the clan had unanimously decided to drown her in the pond, her face turned pale and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. She shook her head desperately and kept whimpering as if she wanted to explain something.
Lin Yiwei thought for a while and said to the strong man next to him, ” take the handkerchief away from her mouth and see what she has to say.”
As soon as the handkerchief was taken away, Zhou guixiang kowtowed and said loudly, “Elders, please spare my life. I won’t do it again. Please spare me this time!”
The clan leader and the two elders listened to Zhou guixiang’s words and frowned. However, they did not say anything, which meant that they did not agree with Zhou guixiang’s request.
Looking at the reaction of the elders, Zhou guixiang’s face was filled with despair. Then, she pointed at Lin Siniu and said, ” it was clearly Lin Siniu who threatened and seduced me first. Why is it that I have to die while he can stay safe and sound? I’m not convinced!”
Lin Laosan’s face darkened, and he shouted, ” shut up! It was you who shamelessly seduced my fourth son!”
Zhou guixiang was furious and scolded, “do you think your son is a gentleman? Do you think I need to seduce him? Lin Laosan, don’t you know that your precious son is going crazy thinking about women?
“When he saw me drying my clothes in the courtyard, he hugged me from behind. I’m just a woman. What strength do you think I have to resist, huh?
“Alright, now that something has happened, all the responsibility is on me. He only needs to suffer 30 whips and kneel in the ancestral hall for a month, and he’ll be fine. Hmph, how is that fair?”
