Weng Jiefang’s face couldn’t save face, being cursed as a beast repeatedly, he wasn’t shaless.
A slap swung forth.
"You damned woman, who are you calling a beast? I’ll beat you to death today, see who dares to intervene when I’m hitting my own wife?"
A slap indeed landed on Bai Na’s face.
Astonishingly, no one around intervened or tried to stop him.
Bai Xiao was truly puzzled; she didn’t know that here, n beating won was the norm, and none of the n questioned it.
In many surrounding villages, in impoverished places, n could hit or curse won as they pleased.
Moreover, in many places, the Clan Leader could exercise private punishnt, disregarding human life.
In their place, their clan regulations and customs held much more sway than outside laws.
In their minds, laws were for civilized people; they were uneducated, couldn’t recognize a word, those things had nothing to do with them.
Besides, police couldn’t reach their remote area; seeing a policeman might be a rare event that happens once every few years.
Here, even visits and investigations by the local police station were incredibly difficult; high mountains and long rivers made it impossible for them to co repeatedly.
This was the reason these people were emboldened and fearless.
They respected their village rules and customs more.
Bai Xiao clutched Weng Jiefang’s wrist and he had never thought soone would stop him.
In this area, a man hitting his own wife, who could interfere? It was a household matter.
Besides, what man doesn’t hit his own wife?
Turning around, he saw it was the doctor who helped his wife give birth today, this doctor was truly pretty, different from the local won who worked in the fields daily under the sun, their skin dark and coarse, looking like chunks of coal.
But this doctor had fair and delicate skin; her cheeks seed so tender as if water could be squeezed out, white and tender made people restless.
"Doctor Bai, although you’ve saved my wife, this is our family matter and not for you to intervene."
Because he was facing a pretty woman, he spoke a bit more courteously, but still wouldn’t yield his rights.
"This is not your family matter."
Xiaoyu helped Bai Xiao translate her words.
Everyone here was stunned, how could this not be their family matter?
Facing the unfriendly gazes of everyone, Xiaoyu was a bit uneasy, involuntarily tugging Bai Xiao’s sleeve, "Doctor Bai, we can’t intervene in this matter; indeed, it’s their family matter. In our place, once a woman marries a man, no matter if she’s beaten, cursed, alive or dead, it’s not for the woman’s family to interfere."
Xiaoyu was also a traditional woman from Gui Province, educated and influenced by such values since childhood.
No one truly felt that anything was wrong.
Bai Xiao smiled and said, "Tell them that Bai Na and this man haven’t obtained a marriage certificate; although everyone in your village thinks they are husband and wife, legally they are not. Since they aren’t, this Weng Jiefang can’t just beat Bai Na casually.
Bai Na is free; no one can force her to do sothing she doesn’t want to do. If you don’t believe it, we can call the police station officers now and see if the police will intervene in such matters.
Of course, such matters are common in your village, and typically aren’t reported to the authorities, but if soone files a complaint now, the police will certainly intervene; randomly assaulting others and endangering a child’s life is considered a murder attempt, if not punished by serving thirty to fifty years in prison.
I wouldn’t deserve to be called Doctor Bai."
She couldn’t stand n hitting won.
Bai Na seed like another version of herself.
But Bai Na was still young with a chance to change everything; if she didn’t want change, Bai Xiao wouldn’t interfere on behalf of others. Now, since she had expressed this willingness, Bai Xiao hoped this girl could have a new life.
No one should live without dignity or the ability to protect their offspring; no one can take away a mother’s desire to protect her child.
Moreover, this child was delivered by Bai Xiao.
Bai Na’s two younger brothers stepped forward, "Mom and Dad, let sister co ho if she wants to; we two will work hard and can support sister and nephew."
These words made Bai Xiao look at them differently. Under such upbringing, two n could erge without the traditional male dominant attitude, wanting to protect their sister; these two boys were indeed taking the first step away from feudal thinking.
Weng Jiefang beca furious, pointing at Bai Xiao’s nose and yelled, "So you’re a city doctor? Even if you are, you can’t casually ddle in our business. Do you believe I’ll knock your teeth out today and show you the difference between n and won?
When n speak, there’s no place for won’s words. Such recklessness, daring to ddle in our family matters.
Today I’ll let you see the true definition of being a man and teach you city won what to be aware of."
While speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and charged at Bai Xiao, aiming blows at her.
While Xiaoyu was translating, she sensed sothing was wrong but lacked ti to intervene; however, Doctor Zhang wasn’t the sa.
Earlier he was vaguely alert and also ntally blad Bai Xiao’s trouble-making ability.
This was remote mountains, different from urban educated people; lacking the quality and conditions.
Haven’t heard of treacherous folks from remote areas?
Moreover, these brutes often resorted to hands; if beaten, they’d endure it unjustly.
Anyway, knowing the potential for a beating, he couldn’t let Bai Xiao, a girl, suffer.
Doctor Zhang darted out in a flash.
Though Doctor Zhang was older, through years of health care and exercise he stayed fit.
Despite Weng Jiefang’s bluster, he was essentially a lazy man not doing work, looking imposing but without real strength.
Thus Doctor Zhang managed to take down Weng Jiefang in a single move.
Weng Jiefang got punched in the face, fell onto the ground flat on his back.
The punch landed squarely on the nose, imdiately causing blood to flow, splattering blood all over his face.
Weng Jiefang started wailing loudly.
"City folks have killed soone, city folks are bullying us country people!"
Doctor Zhang awkwardly glanced at his own hand.
He hadn’t exerted much force; despite his frail nature, he managed to hit soone here.
Approaching earlier was nerve-racking; he thought he’d take a beating himself.
What kind of ss was this?
