The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 92: Satisfied with Punishment Received

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Satisfied with Punishment Received

After confirming that Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Yan were okay, Wang Baoxing took Wang Jia Bao and Liu Jianmin to the pond, as they would be dividing fish today. They needed to claim their family’s share.

Just as they were carrying the fish home, they encountered Zhang Bingkun bringing Zhang Rongfa, Li Yinfeng, and Zhang Hongfang over. It seemed there was already a decision on the matter.

In the Wang Family’s main hall, Yang Zhigang had also returned and heard about it. He winked playfully at his eldest for the charm he possessed.

Jiang Yan remained unfazed and sat there motionlessly, but inwardly he couldn’t help but complain: What a fool, this would be his future brother-in-law, really... frustrating!

"Bao Xing, Mr. Jiang, this time it was Xiao Fang who offended you. I apologize on behalf of the younger generation." Zhang Bingkun adopted a humble posture, though reluctant. After all, Zhang Hongfang was a member of the Zhang Family. Regardless of the reason, he had to take some responsibility for not disciplining the young ones properly.

Wang Baoxing showed generosity towards Zhang Bingkun, responding immediately, "Uncle Zhang, there’s no need for this; you’re not to be blamed."

Jiang Yan remained silent, leisurely turning the tea mug in his hand.

Zhang Bingkun felt a bit awkward, as it was obvious the other party didn’t regard him highly. Well, as the village head of Shanghuang Village, he might be able to pressure Wang Baoxing but not an outsider from Beijing.

Zhang Bingkun sternly addressed Zhang Hongfang, who was struggling to stand and leaning against Li Yinfeng, "Xiao Fang, aren’t you going to apologize?"

Upon entering the room, Zhang Hongfang had secretly been watching Jiang Yan, feeling very unwilling and confused about how things had turned out this way; it was all because of that little brat Wang Miaomiao...

She gritted her teeth, and just as her hateful gaze swept across Wang Miaomiao, she felt something flying towards her, narrowly missing her ear and landing on the floor.

"Bang..."

"Ah..."

With a sharp scream, Zhang Hongfang stood there terrified, drenched, and slightly trembling.

"How audacious, who are you glaring at? Don’t want your eyes anymore!" Jiang Yan was angry; he could ignore her sneak looks but couldn’t tolerate her hateful gaze on the little girl. Humph, it seemed this woman had no intention of repenting.

Everyone was shocked by Jiang Yan’s action, looking at the tea mug rolling on the floor, swallowing nervously, wow... it nearly hit her head, and that would not have been light. It was uncanny how the water splashed precisely all over her face!

Others might not know, but Yang Zhigang did; this was Jiang Yan’s deliberate result. The elder brother was a sharpshooter, with such a short distance, aiming for her head would never miss.

Zhang Hongfang only felt a burning pain in her left ear, buzzing inside, leaving her unsettled.

"Uncle Zhang, no need for an apology, I see she lacks any intention to repent, a hypocritical apology we don’t need." Jiang Yan was very straightforward, leaving no room, "Let’s hear the result of your discussion instead."

Some people are stubborn, impossible to awaken, they must wake themselves. How can one awaken themselves? It must be through intense suffering; otherwise, it’s difficult to enlighten through others’ teachings. They must experience pain and hardship, so severe it nearly costs a life, or they won’t understand or awaken.

Here, Li Yinfeng looked at her frightened daughter, while wiping the water droplets on Zhang Hongfang’s face, she couldn’t help but complain tenderly, "How could you hit someone for no reason, if you injure her you’ll be responsible... "

"Shut up!" Zhang Rongfa was really about to be infuriated by his foolish woman, did she not see the opposite party was already upset?

Zhang Bingkun also couldn’t help furrowing his brow, alas... lacking awareness.

"Alas... we discussed, and Xiao Fang was definitely wrong, needs to be taught a lesson." Zhang Bingkun hesitated, unsure if the punitive result would satisfy the opposing party, especially after Xiao Fang had once again infuriated them. "The job of cleaning pigsties in the village is the dirtiest and most tiring; we sentence her to clean them for three months without any credits. Moreover, Miao Miao and Mr. Jiang were startled, the Zhang Family will compensate them ten yuan each for nutrition. Does this satisfy you, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yan slightly nodded, feeling the village head managed affairs decently. However, that woman clearly wasn’t repentant and needed a deeper lesson, "She committed issues of conduct, truly ugly people make more trouble, degrading without self-awareness. Three months is too short, too lenient for her."

"Then what do you suggest?" Zhang Bingkun sighed, indeed unhappy...

"Since she’s so keen on having a man, find her a husband in three months. If she doesn’t marry, let her continue cleaning the pigsties until she does."

Jiang Yan’s punishment was perfect, leaving Zhang Hongfang in disbelief, to despair, standing there with a lifeless look, clearly heartbroken.

Her dreams shattered, unsure what the future held...

Wang Miaomiao sat obediently on the side, observing the entire thing. Her understanding of Jiang Yan deepened; he wasn’t someone to provoke, mustn’t offend him, too ruthless!

If she didn’t marry, she had to clean pigsties every day, tsk tsk, forcing her to quickly find someone to marry.

Jiang Yan caught sight of her changing expressions and couldn’t help but feel a bit better.

Zhang Bingkun thought the other party would propose something excessive, only to hear it was just marriage, which was easy, believing it was doable. Such a nuisance was best married off soon, lest she offended others again, putting Shanghuang Village through hardship.

"I think it’s feasible, Rongfa, what do you say?" Zhang Bingkun looked at the silent Zhang Rongfa, prompting him to speak.

Zhang Rongfa couldn’t do much, promptly nodded, "Alright, I’ll arrange the matchmaking as soon as I get home, marrying her off in three months."

"Dad..." Zhang Hongfang eyes were red.

"Shut up, don’t call me, disgraceful thing." Zhang Rongfa scolded her before reluctantly taking out twenty yuan from his pocket and placing it on the table, "This is the compensation, the incident today was due to my poor upbringing of her. I promise to educate her well upon returning, ensuring she never resorts to misconduct again."

"Alright, you may go now, this matter is settled." Wang Baoxing saw Jiang Yan had no other opinions, supplemented, "Children should be well-educated, marrying off without shaming us Shanghuang Village."

"Yes...yes..." Zhang Rongfa nodded and bent, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

After sending the Zhang Family away, the Wang Family prepared for dinner.

Liu Yulan led the children to serve dishes. Wang Baoxing went to his room to retrieve his prized liquor.

Jiang Yan pushed the twenty yuan on the table towards Wang Miaomiao, "You keep it."

Wang Miaomiao dared not take advantage of him, taking ten yuan and pushing the other ten back, "It’s yours."

Jiang Yan frowned slightly and pushed it back again, "I’m not sick, don’t need supplements, keep it to buy something nice."

Wang Miaomiao hesitated, showing reluctance.
