99 Chapter 99 Psychological Issues
“Do you think the Qiao family is like your Gu family? Master will definitely pay to redeem us.” The leader roared.
“Haha.” Zhou Ying laughed sarcastically. “Then let’s wait and see. We won’t ask for too much. We’ll set it at 100 taels of silver per person. You guys should also take a good look at how much you’re worth in Elder Qiao’s heart. ”
“You’re clearly trying to extort money.”
“How is this extorting money? You know what you’ve done, or why don’t we go to court?”
“You…”
“Sister-in-law, you’re right. Trespa.s.sing on private property is a serious matter. You’ll be sentenced to more than five years if you get a heavier sentence.” Gu Chengye said at that moment.
“What if we add kidnapping and robbing attempts?”
“Then at least 20 years. If your master abandons you, you’ll be sentenced to death. ”
“Hmph…” The leader didn’t have much confidence after hearing what they said, so he didn’t dare to talk back.
Otherwise, if they were really abandoned, they would be skinned alive even if they didn’t die.
“Bring them to the ancestral hall to kneel and repent to the ancestors.” The patriarch waved his hand.
After everyone had left, he looked at Zhou Ying and said, “Be careful. If something happens, make some noise. Everyone will definitely come to help. ”
“Thank you, uncle. I understand.”
“Yes. Tell Chengrui not to go out if there’s no need to.
“By the way, it was Tian Jiaw.a.n.g’s sister who informed us this time.” After speaking, the patriarch put his hands behind his back and walked out in a good mood.
He had to hurry over and get their confessions, which would be helpful in the future if something happened.
After he left, Zhou Ying saw the ruined yuba in the courtyard and felt a burst of anger inside her. Then, she thought of Da Hua, who was still in the kitchen. She quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Da Hua shivering at the door. She was about to comfort her when Sister Tian rushed in. When she saw Zhou Ying, she paused and asked, “Sister, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. It’s just that Da Hua…” Zhou Ying looked at Da Hua, hesitating to speak.
Sister Tian immediately squatted down and hugged Da Hua. Don’t be afraid, Da Hua. Mother is here.”
Towards the end, her voice started to choke up.
However, Da Hua didn’t say anything and continued to tremble.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying knew that Da Hua had some psychological issues, so she could only ask, “Sister Tian, did Da Hua go through some kind of shock?”
When Sister Tian heard this, tears immediately flowed down her face. After a moment of silence, she wiped her tears and said, “After her father died, we were beaten and scolded a lot, so …”
After she finished speaking, she hugged Da Hua and started crying.
Zhou Ying was upset after hearing that, but she knew she couldn’t let Da Hua be immersed in her terrifying emotions. Then, she pinched one of Da Hua’s hands and pinched it hard.
“Ah,” she cried out. The intense pain woke Da Hua up instantly. At the same time, she raised her hand and pushed her hard, then started crying.
Fortunately, Zhou Ying was prepared. She directly grabbed the door frame and didn’t fall to the ground.
However, Sister Tian was displeased. She raised her head and questioned, “Sister, what are you doing? How can you do that to a child?”
“I’m just letting her come to her senses. If she keeps being in a nightmare, she’ll break down eventually.” Zhou Ying explained patiently.
“What do you mean by breaking down?”
“It means that she would be mentally unstable, go crazy, or commit suicide. It’s hard to say.”
“That’s impossible.” Sister Tian’s expression changed drastically when she heard that.
Zhou Ying just looked at her quietly without saying anything.
