After Lin Ajiao heard what Zhou Yiming said, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was stunned on the spot, her mind went blank, and she even lost the ability to think within a short period of time.
Because she really couldn't believe her ears. The reason why she agreed to accept the punishment so happily just now actually had her own little thoughts.
She felt that her relationship with Zhou Yiming was so good before. Even if she had made a small mistake just now, it would be difficult for Yi Ming to punish her harshly. At most, she would give herself a small problem or make symbolic complaints. In short, this matter is over.
What she never expected was that Zhou Ming did not directly hurt her, but the punishment method he proposed was a huge torture and trampling on Lin Ajiao's spirit and dignity. As long as she followed this punishment method , not only will he be looked down upon by the Zhou family in the future, but if his mother's family finds out about this in the future, they will also prosecute her.
After all, although Lin Ajiao is married to Zhou Ming, she is still a member of the Lin family. If she does such a despicable thing, the Lin family will inevitably be embarrassed along with her.
After thinking of this, Lin Ajiao was filled with internal emotions, and her inner emotions were extremely chaotic. Even she herself didn't know which emotion had the upper hand.
But one thing she was very sure of was that she could never leave the Zhou family with Huan'er, because as long as she did so, it would be completely over for her and Zhou Ming. Even if she regretted it and wanted to come back, Zhou Ming would not be able to Give her another chance.
After waking up from her trance, Lin Ajiao raised her head and looked at Zhou Ming. She suddenly felt that the man who had been so close to her in the past had become so strange, and she felt a trace of resentment in her heart.
My husband, don’t you understand at all how deep my feelings are for you? The reason why I misunderstood you just now was entirely because I care about you too much. If you had any confidence in me, you wouldn't say such heartless words at this moment.
I have realized my mistake, but you insist on forcing me like this. If I do what you say, I will lose my dignity immediately. Can you bear to watch me live and die?
Seeing Zhou Yiming's expressionless face, Lin Ajiao had given up completely. She felt that even if she begged for mercy, Zhou Yiming would definitely not change her mind.
Lin Ajiao was caught in a dilemma for a moment. As she felt uncomfortable, she suddenly thought about it. She had only suffered such a little grievance at home, and she already felt that she couldn't bear it. This was different from the grievance that her husband had just suffered. In comparison, it is simply insignificant.
Last night, my husband fought two battles with the thieves from the Northern Kingdom and almost died. After returning home, he was almost served by the family law because of the false accusations made by the evildoers. If such grievances were placed on him, wouldn't he? Going to commit suicide?
Thinking of this, Lin Ajiao suddenly understood and felt that even if she knelt down in front of Yi Ming to admit her mistake, there was nothing shameful. After all, she was also one of the evil people just now and had committed an unforgivable mistake against her husband. Dealing with him harshly shows that he still has a place for himself in his heart, otherwise he would not give himself this chance.
Moreover, Lin Ajiao also thought of another point. The reason why Zhou Ming let those servants go easily just now was because he had no choice. After all, these servants just started making noises together. They didn't have any bad intentions, they were just too simple-minded. .
And as the saying goes, the law does not punish the public. Even if Zhou Yiming really wants to deal with this group of people, he has more than enough ambition but not enough power. The more important point is, once these servants are punished, who will do the work? If they harbor resentment in their hearts and deliberately cause harm when working, then the Zhou family will never have peace.
And what's even more frightening is that if there are vicious-hearted people among these servants, the situation will be even worse. Such people are generally narrow-minded and can't stand a little grievance. If they are dealt with by Zhou Ming, they will hold a grudge. Although On the surface, they don't dare to do anything outrageous, but they can't help but do evil behind the scenes. If they poison the master's food with their hands and feet, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is precisely because of taking these situations and consequences into consideration that Zhou Ming's handling method just now was so clever. Not only did he let the servants reflect on their mistakes, but he also unexpectedly let them go when they were most frightened. It avoided uncertain risk factors in the future, and also bought people's hearts, allowing these servants to work wholeheartedly for the Zhou family in the future.
After Lin Ajiao figured this out, she admired Zhou Ming, but she also understood that although Zhou Ming was very clever in dealing with those servants, it was not enough to just use a gentle policy towards those people. If you want your subordinates to be devoted to you, you must add carrots and sticks, use both kindness and power, and let your subordinates know that there will be a price to pay for making mistakes.
Otherwise, blindly indulging them will only make them lose fear of their master, gradually disobeying discipline, and even develop the ambition to ride on their master's head.
Thinking of this, Lin Ajiao couldn't help but wonder. If her idea was right, Zhou Yiming had already given the carrots to those servants, but where was the stick? If this important link is missing, the effect of Zhou Ming's brilliant handling just now will be greatly reduced.
Lin Ajiao fell into deep thought. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she suddenly realized that the big stick prepared by Yi Ming was herself.
He wanted to punish himself, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and frighten the servants.
After understanding this truth, Lin Ajiao couldn't help but want to give Zhou Yiming a thumbs up, because his way of handling it was so exquisite.
After punishing yourself, not only will you have a long memory, so that you will never misunderstand your father-in-law because of trivial matters in the future, but more importantly, it will make those servants understand the truth. The Zhou family has rules, and no one can Anyone who violates the rules may be punished. The reason why they were able to escape punishment this time was entirely because the young master was magnanimous and did not care about them.
After understanding Zhou Yiming's painstaking efforts, Lin Ajiao was deeply moved. At the same time, her dissatisfaction with Zhou Yiming had long since dissipated.
After getting rid of all the distracting thoughts in her heart, Lin Ajiao decided to do what Yi Ming said, because she knew in her heart that even if she lost face in front of everyone today and put her dignity on the ground and let others trample on her, as long as she could win Yi Ming's Forgiveness, all these efforts and sacrifices are worth it.
After all, Zhou Ming is the person closest to her. As for whether other people will look down on her, she doesn't think it matters at all. Moreover, she has indeed made some mistakes before, and she deserves to be punished.
Everyone in the yard didn't know Lin Ajiao's inner thoughts. When they saw the expression on her face, which kept changing, from looking sad to looking happy, they all felt that she must have been stimulated and had lost her mind.
"There seems to be something wrong with the young lady, why are you still having fun?"
"It's okay if something is wrong. If the person you love the most treats you like this, you'll be damned if you can still stay awake."
The servants were worried about their young mistress while whispering among themselves.
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou were also very worried about Lin Ajiao's condition. Mrs. Zhou even couldn't help but want to run over and check if Lin Ajiao was okay.
But he was caught by Zhou Ruhai at the last moment, and he whispered: "Don't go over and cause trouble! Otherwise, nothing will happen, and you will cause trouble. Let's wait and see what happens, and see what our son will do, and then Make plans.”
Mrs. Zhou was originally a person who had no ideas. When her master said this, she immediately stopped and sighed, then complained: "You two don't let me worry at all. We are all in good condition, but we have to do something wrong." You will only be willing to do it if something happens!"
After Zhou Yiming saw Lin Ajiao's condition, he was also very worried. He thought that his wife's endurance would not be so weak, right? I just wanted to play a trick to tease her. If she really can't think about it and becomes insane because of this, then I will really become a sinner through the ages.
Huan'er also noticed something strange about her young lady, and she immediately tried to persuade her: "Miss, don't be stupid. People don't care about you anymore. Even if you wait until the end of time, they won't forgive you. Just do it." Give up!
Get up quickly and follow me immediately. Let's go back to our own home and don't suffer this anger here. "
Huan'er said as he stood up, trying to help Lin Gillian up.
Lin Ajiao waved her hand, pushed Huan'er away, and said angrily: "The master is talking here, how can you, a servant, interrupt? Quickly step aside, and don't come back to cause trouble again without my instructions. ."
Huan'er was startled. She finally managed to regain her balance and stood there, saying in an aggrieved voice, "Miss, why do you have to wrong yourself like this?"
"Shut up." Lin Ajiao said coldly.
Huan'er knew her young lady's temper and knew that she was really angry, so she quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.
When everyone in the yard saw this scene, their eyes widened in surprise, wondering what kind of medicine Lin Ajiao was selling in this gourd.
What Huan'er did just now was obviously for her own good, but it didn't matter that she didn't appreciate it at all, and she was so cruel to Huan'er. It was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he didn't recognize the good heart.
Zhou Yiming also felt that Lin Ajiao's behavior was a bit abnormal. He even thought that Lin Ajiao was angered by what he said just now, so he planned to let others stay away to make room for a fight to the death with him.
After having this idea in his mind, Zhou Yiming smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that this was too bad. His wife's martial arts skills were already on par with his own, but now he was injured and his physical strength had not fully recovered. If If you fight her in this situation, you will definitely lose.
