Chapter 32: Rectifying the Luo Family

Seeing Luo Fangfang faint, Luo Laotai rushed over to support her. Her eyes were filled with deep resentment, and a string in her heart almost snapped. She couldn’t control her emotions and could only let the anger in her heart burn wildly. The overwhelming hatred almost drowned her.

Luo Jianmin’s eyes turned bloodshot, and his face contorted as he stared at Luo Xingci. He gathered all his strength and charged at her, shouting, “Luo Xingci, I’m going to fight you!” He was filled with anger, pent up for days. He wished he had never had a daughter like Luo Xingci. But he didn’t want to cut off ties with her. When he had the power, he would kill her with his own hands.

Luo Xingci was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by Luo Jianmin. The onlookers didn’t dare to help. To put it bluntly, it was someone else’s family business. It wasn’t their place to intervene. Besides, what if they helped and the Luo family turned around and bit them? What would they do then?

Seeing Luo Xingci fall to the ground, Luo Jianjun immediately grabbed a broom and went to help. Old Man Luo followed closely behind. Soon, Luo Xingci was caught by the three of them and locked in the Luo family’s house. Luo Jianmin immediately went to close the door, a smug look on his face. “Didn’t expect this, did you? I thought you were so powerful. You’re still in my hands. This time, Luo Xingci, I’m going to kill you!” His eyes were bloodshot red. He picked up a stick and hit Luo Xingci with it. It seemed to trigger something in him, and he hit her harder.

Luo Xingci groaned, struggling to break free from the ropes. It was true that people shouldn’t be too arrogant. Arrogance leads to disaster. But she wouldn’t forget this revenge.

Luo Fangfang woke up at this moment. Seeing Luo Xingci tied up, her eyes were filled with glee. She sneered. “Father, stop hitting Xingci. Maybe she was corrupted by people outside?” Then, she turned to look at Luo Xingci, her face full of concern. “Xingci, tell me. Did you start dating someone outside? Did that man corrupt you? Tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson. You have to know that no matter what, your family loves you. Just tell me.”

Luo Xingci used all her strength to break free from the ropes and let out a scream. She kicked Luo Fangfang against the door. The door couldn’t withstand it and fell down. Then, she looked at Luo Jianmin and the others. She laughed like a devil crawling out of hell. “It felt good to beat you up, didn’t it? Now it’s my turn.” She picked up a stick and hit Luo Jianmin hard. “Ah!” Luo Jianmin screamed! His kidneys were in trouble again. Old Man Luo and Luo Jianjun wanted to come over and help, but Luo Xingci kicked them both away.

After dealing with the men, she turned to Luo Laotai and Li Zhaodi. Li Zhaodi trembled with fear. If she got hit with a stick, her bones would probably break. “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me. It’s not my fault. They were the ones who hit you. I didn’t hit you.” Li Zhaodi begged her to spare her. Then, she searched her memory to see if she had ever bullied Luo Xingci. But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had also bullied Luo Xingci. She lowered her head, feeling a little guilty.

“Tie them up.” Luo Xingci sat in a chair, holding a teacup and taking a sip of water. Her eyes swept towards Luo Fangfang. “A little slut born from an adulterous woman. Just wait. It’s your turn soon!” She slapped Luo Fangfang’s face, looking at her delicate and well-nourished face. She whistled, already thinking about what kind of old man she should find for her.

Seeing Luo Xingci like this, Luo Fangfang was actually a little afraid. “Xingci, I just spoke up for you. Are you going to hit me anyway? I didn’t…” Before she could finish, Luo Xingci slapped her hard.

After Li Zhaodi tied up the few people, Luo Xingci took a whip from the cloth bag she was carrying. First, she whipped Luo Jianmin hard. It felt good, actually. It wasn’t enough. She whipped him again. Why did it feel better and better? Never mind. She would enjoy herself first! Luo Xingci kept swinging the whip. No wonder some perverts liked whips so much. She loved them too now!

Luo Laotai was so scared that she trembled uncontrollably. She wanted to run away, but Luo Xingci whipped her on the back. Another scream rang out. “Ah! Stop! I’m your grandma. Behave yourself. Are you going to rebel? Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?” She whipped her back hard. Her waist must have been broken.

After she finished beating them, she started talking to them. “From now on, you all have to go to work. The men must work full shifts every day. If you don’t, you’ll be whipped at home. Also, all the money and food in the house will be turned over to me. Besides doing my laundry, cooking for me, and heating water for me to wash my feet, you must bring it to my room. Do you understand?”

Luo Jianmin and the others nodded repeatedly. Luo Laotai was reluctant, but she had no choice. Her fists weren’t strong enough.

Luo Fangfang was trying to lower her presence, but how could Luo Xingci let her off? “As for Luo Fangfang, do you want to go back to school or go home and work to earn work points?” It wasn’t easy to continue studying. She wanted her to know that Luo Fangfang’s path would be difficult in this life.

Luo Fangfang didn’t even think before answering. “I’ll go back to school.” She was secretly happy. It seemed like Luo Xingci didn’t have no feelings for her. She had said that with her and Luo Xingci’s relationship, how could she possibly let her go home and farm? But she was quickly slapped in the face.

“You can go back to school, but you have to pay me fifteen yuan every month as compensation. I’ve worked for over ten years. You have to compensate me. Otherwise, I’ll take a stool and go to your school gate to spread rumors.”

Luo Fangfang’s eyes widened in disbelief. She clenched her fists and nodded in humiliation. She gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll give you the money!” Then, she went back to her room.

Luo Xingci nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, go to work.” She untied their ropes.

Luo Jianmin and the others were so scared that their legs trembled. They wished they had cut off ties with this bitch. But they couldn’t bear to give up the dowry money. After all, she was already grown up. It was time for her to get married.

Old Man Luo felt the same way. He tentatively said, “Xingci, why don’t we cut off ties? That way, you can do whatever you want, and no one will control you. What do you say? After we cut off ties, we won’t need you to support us, okay?”

“What? Now you want to be so clear-cut with me? Even if we cut off ties, why should I support you? You didn’t even support me for a day when you gave birth to me. You want me to support you when you die. Get out of here, or I’ll whip you!”
