Chapter 139 : Punishment

Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu were sitting neatly in another room, doing their summer homework.

Hearing Fang Xiaoluo’s shout, Yu Feixu became even more nervous.

He lowered his voice and said, “What should we do? Auntie is calling us.”

Shen Haifeng took two deep breaths. He felt that he had hidden himself very well in front of everyone, but he felt guilty when he saw Fang Xiaoluo.

“I always feel like I would be very sorry to her if I lied to her.”

“But should we tell the truth about this kind of thing?”

Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, Fang Xiaoluo came over. Seeing that the two of them were doing their homework for a while, she closed the door.

“Oh, you’re working so hard. Are you starting your summer homework now?”

Yu Feixu smiled awkwardly, “Aunt, aren’t we just thinking about finishing the writing as soon as possible so that we can relax as soon as possible?”

Fang Xiaoluo came over to take a look and said, “That’s right. After all, going up the mountain to dig traps and catch mice does require a high level of concentration. It’s very tiring and there’s no way to relax.”

Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu stood up suddenly, and they seemed to have no idea where to put their hands and feet.

Fang Xiaoluo found a place to sit down.

The room was so narrow, and with the new hard bed, there was no room for three people to turn around.

Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu were sitting on the bed while doing their homework just now. Now they stood up and squeezed directly into the corner.

The place where Fang Xiaoluo was sitting just blocked them and they couldn’t get out at all.

Shen Haifeng raised his head cautiously, “Mom…Mom, you…you know everything?”

Fang Xiaoluo said slowly, “I don’t know much. I need you two to tell me the details in detail. After all, I only know that you two went up the mountain, dug pits, set traps, caught mice, etc., and then ran to the river to wash your dirty bodies.”

Shen Haifeng knew that he could not hide the truth from Fang Xiaoluo, so he told her everything.

Fang Xiaoluo naturally believed Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu. Wang Hongfang was really a wicked person. She even wanted to plot against the child.

“Do you think what you did today was perfect, and Wang Hongfang definitely doesn’t know it was you two who did it?” Fang Xiaoluo asked.

Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu didn’t say anything, but the confidence in their eyes could not be faked.

Fang Xiaoluo continued, “I have to admit that you two did put some thought into what you did today, but how can you guarantee that Chen Wei won’t betray you? Because of that fifty cents?”

“It is foolish to give your bottom line to others!”

Shen Haifeng thought for a long time, “Then…what should we do now?”

Fang Xiaoluo glanced at him and said, “What should we do? Just let it sit!”

As they were talking, there was a commotion in the Fang family’s yard, and from the noise, it seemed that Chen Wei and Wang Hongfang had come to the door.

Fang Xiaoluo pointed outside the door, “Did you hear that?”

Yu Feixu whispered, “Chen Wei clearly promised, but he didn’t keep his word at all.”

Fang Xiaoluo was almost laughing out of anger, “If he promised you that he would eat shit, would you believe him?”

“How long have you known him? Just because of his promise, because you gave him fifty cents? If he is threatened, he will definitely drag you into it!”

Shen Haifeng bowed his head and admitted his mistake, “Mom, I was wrong.”

Yu Feixu also quickly expressed his opinion, “Aunt, I was wrong too.”

It was already noisy outside, and Zheng Lanhua called out, “Xiaoluo, are you in there?”

Fang Xiaoluo came out with the two children and said to Zheng Lanhua, “Mom, don’t worry, I’m here, everything will be fine.”

As soon as they went out, Chen Wei and the other two children pointed at Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu.

Chen Wei shouted, “It was them. They gave us fifty cents each, so we tricked Sister Hongfang away.”

Fang Xiaoluo said, “Chen Wei, you have to think clearly. Isn’t it because Wang Hongfang asked you to trick Shen Haifeng and the others into going to the river to harm them, and you didn’t succeed, so you went to Wang Hongfang and said that Shen Haifeng and the others didn’t go to the river, but went to play in the mountains, so Wang Hongfang went to the mountains to harm them?”

Chen Wei was stunned for a moment. He had no choice just now. His father looked like he wanted to beat him to death. He couldn’t think of any other reason, so he could only give up Shen Haifeng.

But now, after hearing Fang Xiaoluo’s words, he suddenly became a little more sober.

He cried, “Dad, Uncle Village Chief, it was Sister Hongfang who forced us to do this. She was the one who wanted to harm Shen Haifeng and the others.”

The other two children also started crying loudly, and quickly told Wang Hongfang everything they had asked them to do.

Wang Hongfang was dumbfounded. She had thought she could find a reason to deal with Fang Xiaoluo’s children, but why were they attacking her again now?

“Chen Wei, don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t!”

Fang Xiaoluo stepped forward and said, “You said there is no crime, then there is no crime? In that case, whoever framed my child will be held responsible. I will report the crime to the police right now and see what crime they are charged with for murdering my child!”

Then she turned to Fang Qiang, “Brother, you ride a motorcycle faster, go and help me report the case. Wang Hongfang couldn’t marry into our family, so she tried to commit suicide but failed, so she asked Yan Mingyi to take revenge on me. When she failed to take revenge on me, she tried to harm my child. Now she has instructed Chen Wei and his children to throw dirty water on my child. All the cases are laid out here. I think she is too comfortable in Honghe Village, and she wants to stay in prison for a while!”

Wang Hongfang was stunned. “Yan Mingyi? Tell me, what drug did you give Yan Mingyi?”

Fang Xiaoluo said, “You admitted it so quickly? Don’t worry, as long as I report it to the police, Yan Mingyi will come forward to testify. You know what you  planned before!”

The parents of Chen Wei and the other two children were terrified. Their children came and pointed out Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu for no reason. If the police came, their children would not be able to escape.

So, everyone started to blame Wang Hongfang.

Wang Hongfang’s mind was in a mess. Yan Mingyi, who had liked her for several years, actually turned to Fang Xiaoluo’s side.

Wang Hongfang’s mother said quickly, “This… this must be a misunderstanding. Don’t call the police. Don’t call the police. Xiaoluo, since we are from the same village, we are wrong. We apologize. Don’t call the police. Please don’t call the police.”

Fang Xiaoluo stopped Fang Qiang and said loudly, “It’s okay not to call the police for now. Ask your daughter to write a letter of guarantee that she will never harm me and my family again. If anything happens to me and my family again, it’s Wang Hongfang’s fault!”

Wang Hongfang felt guilty, and this was the only way to deal with the matter.

She angrily wrote a letter of guarantee, promising not to hurt anyone again, and then ran away angrily.

Chen Wei and the parents of his two other children also apologized to Fang Xiaoluo, Shen Haifeng, and Yu Feixu.

The Fang family’s yard suddenly became quiet.

Fang Xiaoluo turned around and stared at Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu coldly. “Starting tomorrow, for seven days in a row, get up at five in the morning, clean the yard, go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and go home to chop chicken food. The pigs and chickens at home are up to you two.”

“Also, you two are responsible for washing your clothes, as well as your younger brother and sister’s clothes. You two are also responsible for keeping the house clean.”

“Also, in addition to your summer homework, you have to give me ten pages of regular script every day. You two have to make up questions for each other. Write two hundred more addition and subtraction problems within 100 every day. No easy ones allowed!”

“I’m telling you two, whoever gets a question wrong will be given a slap on the hand! Do you understand?”

Shen Haifeng and Yu Feixu both shrank their necks, and then replied together, “I heard it clearly.”
