Behind her, there were several tall and extremely strong men, all of whom were dressed in black and black trousers, and the cuffs and cuffs of their clothes were tightly tied, and they looked like they were ...... Beaters alike.

Thinking of this, somehow, two words suddenly appeared in Xiang Wanqing's mind - family law!

She couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, she still remembered that when she was serving tea in the hall, Ning Jinxiu said that she would use family law for her, and the two men who walked in from outside the hall and wanted to tie her up were dressed like this!

Xiang Wanqing already had a premonition, but her expression was still calm.

"You ...... What is this for? She asked.

But seeing Ning Jinxiu raise a very proud face, she didn't answer Xiang Wanqing's question, but said unhurriedly: "Hey, the second young grandmother is so quiet here." ”

Xiang Wanqing turned her head and glanced out.

Ning Jinxiu laughed: "Haha, second young grandmother, don't look at it, your husband and maid have been separated by me, don't worry, they are playing happily in the garden at the moment, and they have no time to take care of you." ”

The corners of her mouth twitched, and a treacherous attitude was revealed.

"So what? What exactly do you want to do? Xiang Wanqing asked.

"Heh, the second young grandmother is a cheerful person! Then save me from going around the bend with you, I just came to ask you today, dare to ask the second young grandmother, how long have you been in the door of the Huo family? ”

Xiang Wanqing didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ning Jinxiu's gourd, so she replied truthfully: "I married into the Huo family for just a week, what's the matter?" ”

"A week?" Ning Jinxiu paced back and forth in the room, her heels touching the blue brick floor and making a very sharp and crisp sound, just as sharp, mean and ruthless as her people.

"Oh, it's been a week, and I'm going to ask you, did you know that we in Joy Town have a rule for new women?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Xiang Wanqing's heart, sure enough, Ning Jinxiu was going to lynch the old lady while everyone was not at home!

She couldn't help but be surprised, in just a few days after arriving at the Huo family, she had already learned Ning Jinxiu's methods, and she also knew that she was hostile to herself, but she still didn't expect that she would have such great courage to dare to apply the so-called family law to her privately!

"What rules? Grandma might as well say it directly. ”

"Well, happy! I like this, then there is no need to waste spittle, and I will say it bluntly, this rule is what every new daughter-in-law in our Joy Town has to go through, and no one can avoid it—chaos! ”

Xiang Wanqing's heart sank suddenly!

Stick robbery!

As a native of Joy Town, she certainly knew that, or rather, ...... Punishment.

When Xiang Wanqing was very young, she heard adults mention the so-called "chaotic stick robbery", which is a system of rules and etiquette used by the people of Old Xile Town to target newly married women, which is said to have been passed down from ancient times from generation to generation, and its intention is to "test" whether the bride is a chaste person and whether she can remain loyal to each other in the future when she lives with her husband.

The specific implementation method is as follows: ten men who are "robbers" stand facing each other in two rows, five people in a row, and all holding sticks, leaving a passage in the middle, so that the new daughter-in-law, that is, the "robber", walks from one end of the passage to the other.

In the process of walking, the "robber" has to take turns to hit the "robbed" with a stick, and the "robber" who can finally complete the passage smoothly is a chaste person who abides by the rules and will be recognized and valued by the husband's family; On the contrary, if the person is unchaste and unclean, he will be divorced by his husband's family on the spot.

However, it is said that this kind of "torture" was actually carried out only in the early days, and then it was slowly "reformed", and in recent times, it has only been a formality.

For example, the husband usually ties a thick strip of cotton cloth to the stick, and then asks the robber to touch the victim symbolically twice.

Think about it, too, where will it really fight? If she really fights, even if the new daughter-in-law can save her life, she will definitely be injured and disabled, and how can she live with her husband's family.

Since the Republic of China, many of the old etiquette ancestral systems have been abandoned, and this chaos has become dispensable.

It has been seven days since Xiang Wanqing married into the Huo family, and in the past seven days, Mrs. Huo, as the head of the family, has never mentioned this messy robbery, Xiang Wanqing thought that this rule had been exempted, which was already something that everyone did not mention but tacitly acquiesced.

However, she never thought that at this time, Ning Jinxiu would suddenly come and use this punishment for her!

And looking at her appearance, it is bound not to be just a formality, but to - come to the real !!

Xiang Wanqing raised her eyes, facing Ning Jinxiu's eyes full of jealousy, resentment, treachery, and pride, she didn't expect that Ning Jinxiu's hatred for herself would be so strong! So strong that you want to put yourself to death!

Taking a step back, even if you can't die after such a torture, it is easy to be seriously injured and disabled!

Xiang Wanqing didn't dare to think further, she straightened her spine, pursed her lips, suppressed a breath, and said, "Messy stick robbery? Dare to ask the young grandmother, why did you suddenly mention the chaos robbery? Do you know that the decaying Qing Dynasty has long since perished, and now it is the world of the Republic of China, many old rules and rituals have been abandoned, and no one uses the chaotic stick robbery anymore, and no one mentions it anymore. ”

Of course, Xiang Wanqing knew that Ning Jinxiu would never reason with her, and if she was reasonable, she would not come.

"Roar! What a pair of sharp teeth, I was almost speechless! I really didn't see it, the second young grandmother still knows a lot. It's a pity that it's useless for you to tell me this, I don't care if the people are not in the country, and it has nothing to do with me who perishes and who rises. I only know that rules are rules, and the ancestral rules and family laws that have been handed down for thousands of years in Joy Town can't disappear for no reason if they come to you, every one of us women is like this, and you can't be an exception! ”

I saw Ning Jinxiu's big red lips open and close, and I couldn't wait to eat Xiang Wanqing in one bite.

Xiang Wanqing was anxious, but today the old lady and the others went up the mountain, I am afraid that they will not come back until dark, and Huo Yujue went to the factory to deal with official business, probably not to be busy for a day or two, there are only a few of them left in the family, Huo Yujin is completely unpointed, Xiaoque is just a maid, not to mention that it is now branched, even if she is here, she does not even have the right to speak.

So what should I do? How to avoid Ning Jinxiu's insidious minions? How can we avoid this catastrophe? Maybe right now, all Xiang Wanqing can do is to delay as much time as possible and wait for a miracle to happen!

"Really? Then I have to ask the young grandmother, the current Huo family is the old lady in charge, right? So, even if you want to carry out the chaos robbery, it should be the old lady who speaks, right? Dare to ask the young grandmother, do you have an old lady's message or order here today? Xiang Wanqing retorted.

"Huh! I knew you would say that, to tell you the truth, it is true that the Huo family is the old lady in charge, but I, Ning Jinxiu, am the deputy housekeeper of the Huo family, and I also have a place to speak! It is no exaggeration to say that I can do more than half of the Huo family's master! Moreover, if the old lady is not here today, I will have the final say in the affairs of the family, so no matter how you have a sharp mouth, it is useless to quibble! Someone's coming! Ning Jinxiu shouted.

She had obviously lost the patience and interest to continue to deal with Xiang Wanqing, maybe she was afraid of long nights and dreams, so she had to hurry up and dispose of her according to her plan!

"Arrest the second young grandmother for me! Tie it to the backyard and wait for it! ”

The sturdy men immediately took out ropes and tied them to Wanqing.

"Wait! Stop it! Xiang Wanqing shouted: "You can't tie me up!" ”

But at this time, no matter how much she shouted, it was useless, several men quickly tied her up and forcibly stuffed a cloth ball into her mouth, after that, Xiang Wanqing could no longer say a word, only made a "woo" sound.

But she was still struggling desperately, Ning Jinxiu made a look, and one of the men struck Xiang Wanqing the shoulder and neck, and Xiang Wanqing fainted.

said that when Huo Yujue left home, he always felt that something was wrong.

Especially the expression on Ning Jinxiu's face, which seemed to be proud, sinister, and a little ruthless...... In short, it's just not right! And Xiang Wanqing, who was sitting next to her, was innocent and innocent, unaware of Ning Jinxiu's thoughts.

Huo Yujue suddenly felt that the two of them were in a state like ...... at that time Wolves and sheep, tigers and cats, or ...... Hunters and prey alike!

At this time, Huo Yujue and Xin Ming hurried to the factory, he was worried about the dispute among the factory workers, and he was anxious, but the faces of Ning Jinxiu and Xiang Wanqing kept playing back in his mind, one was cunning and vicious, and the other was quiet and indisputable......

Huo Yujue thought about it again and again, whether he was wrong and thought too much.

Perhaps he was distracted and did not hurry well, and even the foal did not cooperate with him, but only heard a neigh, and the horse raised its front hooves.

"......" Huo Yujue grabbed the reins of the horse: "No!" I'll have to go back and see! ”

He turned to Xinming and said, "Xinming, you go to the factory first, try your best to appease the troublesome workers, if you really can't do it, find a way to drag them down first, and wait for me to come back!" ”

After saying that, he turned his horse's head, only to hear a loud shout: "Drive! The horse galloped towards the Huo Mansion.

Huo Zhai, Xiang Wanqing, who was already unconscious, was dragged to the backyard by several men who were five big and three thick, and Ning Jinxiu and Cui Hong both had a smug look on their faces.

"Alright, let's leave it here." Walking to an open space in the backyard, Ning Jinxiu spoke.

Xiang Wanqing was thrown to the ground, the pain of touching the ground made her wake up, she slowly opened her eyes, and once again met Ning Jinxiu's fierce and vicious gaze.

At this time, Xiang Wanqing was in pain, she had no strength, her mouth was blocked again, and she could only use her eyes to express her anger and fear of the punishment she would suffer next.
