Queen of flowers - Chapter 24

“We are wrong” Wu Er begged Yong Ruo, “Grandma, please help us out soon! I can’t stand it anymore!”

“What’s the hurry? Things aren’t finished yet! In these years were the robbery incidents committed by you?”

Yong Ruo intended to let the people in the entire Hutong fight with the Wu brothers together, so that if the Wu brothers hated her and made trouble for her, others would help.

She said, “Honestly if both of you confess your crimes, I will save you. Otherwise, you will stay there until dawn, and then we will go to the officer to let the Young master judge your sins! What were the crimes? There are a lot of crimes.? How many boards would you be punished with?”

Wu Er urgently said, “I will confess! I will confess! Just asking you not to report us!”

At last, they spilled the beans and told them all about their thefts.

More people came, and some elderly women came together to watch the fun, and they constantly asked, “Were you the ones who stole from my family?”

Wu Da and Wu Er just nodded, wanting to get out of the trap quickly. Anything that was not too serious, even if they couldn’t remember it, they recognized it, and promised to pay double in compensation, and Yong Ruo agreed to let them out.

Yong Ruo asked someone to bring in a few benches, demolished a small fence, and handed the bench to them.

“I don’t even dare to step into this fence! You should slowly sit on the bench and pull out your hands and feet!” She said with a smile.

Wu Da and Wu Er had to sit on the bench. They screamed and pulled their hands and feet from the ground. Sitting on the bench again, holding their blood tricking hands and feet, they slowly moved out of the fence little by little.

Yong Ruo asked Qin Dayong and the others to take the Wu brothers home. After all, she wanted her home to be peaceful again.

Qin Dayong said, “Well! We should ask the Wu family if they knew that the Wu brothers were thieves and ask them to guide these two.”

Yong Ruo said, “Big brother you go first! My mother is still sick, and my two younger brothers are still young. I’ll go and see if they are scared, and then go to the Wu family to see the scene!”

She planned to take a trip to the Wu house later. The brother’s deep wounds were very easy to get infected. She had to remind the Wu family to debride the brothers so they can endure more hardships while trying to save their lives.

In this era, only saline water or alcohol could be used for debridement. No matter which one was used, it would be very painful … At that time, there was no anesthesia or drugs for them!

Yong Ruo didn’t want to contaminate someone’s life with her own hands. She hoped that the brothers would not die.

————————————

At night, the hustle and bustle of the night in the Mopan Hutong finally came to an end and it was quiet again.

Yong Ruo returned home, Yong Qiao had cooked the porridge. Although exhausted, she had no time to sleep.

She washed quickly, drank a bowl of porridge, ate a snack, and told Yong Qiao to take good care of Zhou and Yong Miao, then went out.

According to Zhou’s instructions, she must invite a matchmaker home.

It wasn’t a good time to look for a spouse, but with what the doctor told them and the incident that happened the previous night, she was determined to settle Yong Qiao and Yong Miao’s condition in advance!

Yong Ruo understood her mother’s words. In that era, if a relative was appointed, he was regarded as a guardian. With her in-laws, she could take care of her siblings or the so-called relatives would decide their fate. The sister and brothers could be quietly killed, tied up and sold.

But she did not intend to do exactly as her mother said! She didn’t object to blind dates or even marriage, but she would pick the person according to her own will.

From a business point of view, in order to prevent the golden finger from being abolished, she needed to try to marry the person who had the highest entry-level, so that she could be exposed to a variety of sterilization medicines and she might get enough System points.

She needed a husband-and-wife only family with no children.

She had always been a very sane person.

In modern society, she didn’t want to deal with a misogynist or a mama’s boy, she preferred to be alone rather than giving in her dignity.

In that era, most of the whole society was composed of misogynists and Mama’s boys. In such a society, she didn’t have any beautiful illusions about love and marriage, and for what reason would she marry? Was it to have children?

To carry on her genes?

No! She didn’t care if her or someone else’s genes would be passed on!

For someone to rely on in the future?

No! She didn’t know whether she would live happily in the future or whether she would lose her mental stability in her old age. If that were the reasons for having children, she didn’t need to have them for such hard headed reasons.

Besides, how would her children live in such a society?

If she had a daughter, needless to say, she would be bullied. Even a man couldn’t help but say something like, “*Life is nothing much for a woman, everything is bitter but joyful only for others.”
* (the proverb means that it is a great misfortune to be a woman, and everything in a woman’s life is at someone’s disposal.)
