Chapter 150: Chapter 150: No Right to Cry Out in Pain

Zhao Mei looked incredibly pained, while she did pity her niece, her heart also went out to her husband.

Although the uncle should not have abandoned his niece to save himself from the bear, it was only right that he should be punished. But after all, he was just an uncle, not a real father.

She had arrived early enough to see the third brother insisting on taking his younger brother’s wife, a sight that resulted in their father-in-law hitting him with a stick ten times. Afterwards, his back was covered in blood and bruises, and he wasn’t able to sleep all night. It took several days for him to recover.

Erni was utterly outraged, after all Guibao was her father, what right did grandfather have to punish him?

Zhou Zhaodi wasn’t surprised at all. Although her father-in-law didn’t show as obvious a preference as her mother-in-law, it was clear he favored Guibao amongst all his grandchildren.

After all, he only ever showed a smiling face to his niece, often carrying her or holding her hand, none of the other grandchildren received such treatment. Besides, without the father-in-law’s tacit approval, the mother-in-law wouldn’t have been able to spend so much money on Guibao every year.

This time her husband and his two brothers had indeed stabbed their parents in the heart. Being punished severely was only to be expected, especially for the third brother who was Guibao’s real father, it would be a surprise if he got off lightly!

As for her husband, her sympathy was certainly wasted!

Since she couldn’t persuade her father-in-law, she could at least help her husband by fetching him water to wash his feet and applying more ointment to his wounds after the punishment was over.

Chen Jianguo, as the eldest, bowed his head and muttered, "Father, we accept our punishment, you may proceed."

Punishing him would make him feel better, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to face his niece in the future.

Chen Jiandang thought the same. As for Chen Jianye, there was no need to even mention him, his head was practically buried in the ground.

After the three brothers removed their shirts, Chen Dazhu started the punishment straight away, beginning with the eldest, Chen Jianguo.

"Smack!"

He used all his strength, and with every strike on the back, Chen Jianguo shuddered, gritting his teeth to swallow the moan of pain.

"Smack! Smack! Smack!"

After more than ten strikes, his dark face was contorted in pain, both his face and bare upper body were drenched in sweat, a sight that was heart-wrenching for Zhao Mei.

This harsh punishment only intensified the children’s fear of their grandfather. The girls couldn’t even bear to watch.

Even the usually brave Chen Erbao couldn’t help but shrink back, deciding not to cause trouble in front of his grandfather from now on.

Only Helian Qiao, with her clear and innocent eyes, merely watched as grandfather disciplined his sons, without a trace of fear. After all, she wasn’t the one being hit.

Besides, after the initial hits, their grandfather only used about seventy percent of his strength when hitting their uncle. That was clear from the sound of the strikes.

Chen Dazhu was aware that the eldest and second brother were only uncles, not the real father, so he didn’t hit them as hard. But even so, it was enough for these two idiots to learn their lesson.

Chen Jianguo endured the punishment silently, receiving twenty strikes while Chen Jiandang wailed and howled through his twenty.

When it was Chen Jianye’s turn, he didn’t dare to cry, but the pain was too much for him. He was hunched over, shaking like a sieve.

Chen Dazhu said sternly, "Kneel up straight!"

As he spoke, he brought the stick down heavily on the red and swollen welts criss-crossing his back. The pain caused Chen Jianye to urgently arch his back.

Unable to endure any longer, he began to cry and howl, "Father, I know I was wrong! It hurts too much!"

"Smack!"

Without any mercy, Chen Dazhu brought the stick down again, "Your eldest and second brothers did not cry out in pain. As Guibao’s real father, what right do you have to complain about the pain?!"
