Seeing the empty kitchen and the other vacant rooms, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
“Th-this… this is way too clean! They even stole the kitchen stove and pots! Wait… even the windows are gone?”
“Oh my, I didn’t notice before… look! The bed and windows in the bedroom are gone too.”
“Did anyone see who moved the Yun family’s stuff?”
As soon as Wu Zhaodi asked, everyone present froze, realizing they all wanted to know who had done this. What if their own belongings were targeted next?
Seeing this, the neighbors began to regret their curiosity. Too much nosiness could get them into trouble.
“Well, my family has things to do, so we’ll leave first! Yun Aiguo, you handle reporting it!”
“Oh, I just remembered, I haven’t fed my puppy!”
“My kid hasn’t eaten yet! I have to go home first.”
“My mom is waiting for me to have dinner at home!”
One excuse after another appeared. From the time they arrived to the time they left, the Yun family couldn’t even say a word before the neighbors all found some reason to run off.
Watching the scene, Yun Aiguo felt utterly helpless. With nothing left, what could he do?
Seeing this, Yun Zhenguo placed their mother in his father’s arms.
“Dad, I can’t carry Mom anymore. Can you hold her for a while? What are we going to do now?”
Clutching his unconscious wife, Yun Aiguo furrowed his brows, feeling his heart in turmoil. He set her down on the floor and looked up to see his children staring at him strangely.
“Hold her? Let her lie on the floor! She’s wearing so many layers; she won’t catch a cold!”
“What matters now is what to do next. The house has nothing, and the salary won’t come until next month.”
“What will we eat? How are we supposed to survive?”
Yun Youran thought of Yun Youyou, still unconscious in her partition, and her eyes sharpened. She quickly approached her father and whispered:
“Dad, we can—”
Hearing this, Yun Zhenguo widened his eyes, shocked at his usually gentle sister. He hadn’t expected her to be so ruthless.
But with no better solution, he ultimately nodded in agreement.
“Alright, then let’s do it this way!”
Seeing his father and sister whispering secretly, Yun Zhenguo was puzzled.
“Dad, what are you talking to my sister about?”
Yun Aiguo glanced at his son, gestured him closer, and whispered in his ear:
“You go find someone—”
Meanwhile, Yun Youyou, listening from her partition, knew that the family intended to turn their schemes onto her. She got up and walked out into the main hall, wrapping the entire courtyard in psychic power.
Raising her voice:
“You all are really bold, daring to scheme against me!”
The father and two siblings were startled by the sudden voice. Turning around, they saw Yun Youyou, and fury immediately filled them.
“Yun Youyou, are you looking for death?! How dare you talk to me like that! Are you acting out again?!”
Yun Aiguo even prepared to hit her with a stick.
Standing aside, Yun Youran couldn’t hide her delight, thinking Yun Youyou was basically destined to be her servant. Only now, they needed to “sell” her because the family had no money.
“Wow, little sister, you actually dare to talk to Dad like that. You really deserve a beating!”
Yun Zhenguo looked on coldly, making no move to stop it. He even egged her on!
“Second sister is right. Third sister, you’ve really gone too far. Dad, you must properly punish her.”
“Otherwise, when she goes to her husband’s house, they’ll think we didn’t teach her any manners!”
Already furious, Yun Aiguo’s anger skyrocketed.
He picked up the family disciplinary tool made of five slender willow branches, a punishment specifically prepared for Yun Youyou, intending to use it on her as usual.
Seeing this, Yun Youyou quickly pulled out a whip from behind her, faster than Yun Aiguo, and struck at him.
Whap!
The whip hit Yun Aiguo’s waist, and he staggered back several steps.
The next second, he let out a deafening, earth-shattering scream:
“Ahhh~~~”
Yun Youyou showed no mercy. Over the years, the original Yun Youyou had endured countless lashes from them.
“Yun Aiguo, you deserve to die! How dare you scheme against me, trying to sell me just now?!”
“Your entire family of four deserves to die~~”
She lashed out repeatedly, whap whap whap!
The whip struck Yun Aiguo with increasing force. His own willow branches had long fallen to the ground, and he rolled on the floor, beaten senseless.
Screams and curses erupted continuously:
“Ahhh~~ Yun Youyou, how dare you whip me!”
“I’m your father, you unfilial little beast!”
Whap whap whap!
“Ahhh~~”
“Stop it! Yun Youyou, how dare you?!”
Whap whap whap!
“Arrgh~~”
“Yun Youyou, are you crazy? I’m your father! You’re crazy~~”
Seeing Yun Aiguo yelling with full force, Yun Youyou increased the intensity, whipping again and again.
Whap whap whap!
“Arrgh~~”
“Yun Youyou~~ you damn girl, I—”
At this moment, Yun Youran and Yun Zhenguo were so scared that they retreated repeatedly. They never thought of rescuing their father.
All they wanted was to escape the house. Their father? They didn’t care.
But when they reached the door, they realized it couldn’t be opened. Rushing to the kitchen to escape through the window, they found themselves completely trapped. The windows had been sealed from the outside. Even though some windows were gone, there was still no way out.
“Ahhh~~”
“Stop immediately! Yun Youyou, stop! You can’t do this to me~~”
Whap whap whap!
“Stop it!!”
The siblings were surrounded by the sound of lashes, screams, and curses.
They tried desperately to escape, but no matter what, they couldn’t, and they dared not make a sound, fearing their mother would hear.
Yun Youran whispered:
“Sniff… Big brother, what do we do? Yun Youyou’s gone mad. She’s even hitting Dad!”
“We can’t get out. What should we do now?”
Yun Zhenguo trembled all over, never having seen Yun Youyou in such a murderous state.
“Little sister… I don’t know what to do. We can’t even escape now.”
In the main hall, the whipping continued, whap whap whap!
“Ahhh~~”
