Chapter 636: 636: Life Goes On

She had thought her idea was too extreme when she talked to Yang Ye about it in the morning, saying that the abusive man didn’t have to be sentenced to death.

Now, she realizes it isn’t extreme at all.

Such a beast should be subjected to a thousand cuts, a slow and painful death.

Still, even death is too kind for such a beast as Zhan Jin. Death would end all his sufferings. He should be made to do hard labor, maimed and crippled.

Such a painful existence would be the best punishment.

Tong Sanlang, hearing her words, gave a pat on her shoulder and grunted softly in agreement.

He too, after hearing about Zhan Jin from Doctor Wu this morning, wanted to go to Linzhang Village and give that beast a severe lesson. To lay hands on a woman, such behavior was worse than a pig or a dog.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at his calm demeanor and shook her head, telling him, “Never mind, let the people from Tingfeng Pavilion handle it. Don’t dirty your hands.”

“It’s not a problem.” Tong Sanlang said.

“It is a problem, you shouldn’t go. Tell the people from Tingfeng Pavilion about it. There’s no rush; they can wait for the opportunity. After all, the monk might run, but the temple won’t.” Qiao Xiaomai took a deep breath and grabbed his hand.

Such strong hands should be kept clean.

“Where is the medicine from Doctor Wu?” she changed the topic.

“It’s in the kitchen.”

“Prince Wei gave a lot of tonics. Come and check them with me, I will prepare the soup.” Qiao Xiaomai started dragging him towards the cart.

However, before getting to the cart, she rolled back her words, “You better go back to study. Study hard and make sure you pass the exam.”

With only a month left until the local examinations, he must try harder.

Even achieving the status of a scholar would be better than being a commoner.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang grasped her hand, “Don’t worry, don’t be impulsive. All beasts will receive their due punishment. Calm yourself; there’s plenty of time.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai lowered her head and stared at her toes, remaining silent.

Okay, yes, she was too impatient, too agitated.

Her mind was in chaos, filled with fleeting thoughts.

It was damn frustrating that a trip to Linzhang Village took a whole day. The slow progress of the ox cart was killing her.

In the past, she would rush over and beat that beast into disability in no time.

Moreover, her so-called “Spiritual Spring” water wasn’t magical at all.

Her dysmenorrhea was not cured.

Qiao Changsun’s leg was also not cured.

The weakness in Zhuang Lühe’s body and the sequelae of her limbs were also not cured.

Besides tasting good, the water seemed to have no practical effect.

Damn it!

“Let’s go up the mountain together.” Qiao Xiaomai looked up.

She needed to vent her frustration, the impatience and irritation inside her had to be released.

Tong Sanlang looked at her silently for a moment, then nodded, “Alright.”

After asking Qiao Dami to focus on his handwriting and bidding farewell to Qiao Changshun, Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai went up the mountain together.

Squashing sunflower seeds in frustration won’t work, right now, Qiao Xiaomai just wanted to chop something with an axe.

They were luckily living at the foot of the mountain, so why not chop trees!

With one swing of the axe, she could cut down a tree as thick as a bowl.

After chopping down more than ten trees and cutting them into pieces, she had to stop; she was panting heavily.

Seeing this, Tong Sanlang bundled the chopped logs together with the hemp rope.

They could dry these back at home for firewood.

“Stop being angry, let’s go home. You need to prepare the soup with the tonics for your mother, she needs some light food.” Tong Sanlang spoke.

Qiao Xiaomai panted heavily. Goddamn it, still, life must continue…
