Translator: 549690339

After leaving the County Government Office, the group walked silently back to Anping Village.

By the time they reached the village, it was evening. Tong Tiehu didn't return to the Tong family home but had Qiao Qinghe drive the ox cart to the village threshing grounds.

The so-called threshing grounds of Anping village were small due to the large population, so everyone set up their own threshing area in their own fields. The village threshing grounds had lost their original purpose and were only used for meetings or announcements.

Whether it was the breaking of the Qiao Family's engagement to the Sun Family, or Sun Junyan being beaten, these events were regarded as significant matters in Anping Village, demanding the gathering of all villagers as witnesses.

At this evening hour, apart from busy farming times, most people who worked in the fields had returned to the village.

Tong Tiehu had his nephew drive the ox cart to fetch Sun Junyan, while he rang the massive bell in the threshing ground.

The iron bell resounded with a long and melancholy toll, spreading out from the threshing grounds and drifting across Anping Village.

At the sound of the bell, at least one person from each household came out and headed towards the threshing ground.

Along the way, people engaged in heated discussions, wondering what had happened.

Tong's nephew went to the old Qiao courtyard, where Sun Junyan had already regained consciousness. He was lying in bed, his face pale.

Upon seeing Tong's nephew, his face showed even greater resentment. Just as he was about to speak, Tong's nephew, with an air of superiority, declared his intentions: “Fifty strokes, public humiliation parade.”

These five words packed a punch, shocking Sun Junyan to the point where he almost passed out again.

Tong's nephew smirked, walked up to him, dragged him out by his clothes, and threw him onto the ox cart, “Don't resist, it's useless.”

How could he not resist? This was public humiliation and corporal punishment!

Tong the nephew, seeing his reaction, simply knocked him out. Catching a glimpse of Zhu Cuiying and Qiao Changfu peeking from inside the house, his smirk held a deeper chill, “You should also come and watch.”

Having said this, he drove the ox cart to the threshing ground.

When he arrived, the threshing ground was already filled with people, with Tong Tiehu and Qiao Xiaomai standing on the main stage in the center, standing out in the crowd.

He parked the ox cart and tied the ox to a nearby tree. Holding the unconscious Sun Junyan, he pushed his way through the crowd to the stage.

Qiao Xiaomai's small face was wan, her glistening almond eyes watching Tong's nephew coming from the crowd. A flash of dark emotions could be seen in her eyes.

Naturally, she was satisfied with the County Magistrate's ruling.

But the atmosphere at the meeting…

Why did it seem a bit strange?

Today was the Sun Family's trial, under normal circumstances, they would at least be given a chance to defend themselves.

But they weren't.

Based solely on Tong Tiehu's testimony, the County Magistrate had rendered his judgment.

Only listening to the plaintiff without permitting the defendant to speak, if the County Magistrate always ruled like this, then how many miscarriages of justice would occur?

With Dean Gu here, the County Magistrate wouldn't be this childish, would he…?

Maybe it was because Tong Tiehu was familiar with the County Magistrate, so he trusted him?

Recalling the confidence on Tong's nephew's face when he asked her to invite Tong Tiehu, she frowned in thought.

Were Tong Tiehu and the County Magistrate this close?

At this point, Tong's nephew, holding Sun Junyan, climbed up onto the platform and stood beside her.

She fluttered her long eyelashes a few times and moved a few steps to the side.

Forget it, it seems that there are also many secrets to Tong's nephew, so for now, she wouldn't think about it. She would focus on the drama unfolding.

She was looking forward to the expressions on the faces of the Sun family and Sun Junyan.

The Sun family and Sun Junyan did not disappoint her. After Tong Tiehu announced the decision to disengage their families, the thousands on the scene burst into a buzz of discussion.

Most of it was mockery.

Everyone was aware of the Sun family's actions and agreed they had gone too far.

But to break off a family relationship….
