Fang Qian 'er's upper body was hugged by Madam Xu, while Luo Shi, Qian Shi, Fang Jiao' er, Fang Yan 'er, and Fang Mei' er pressed down on Fang Qian 'er's legs.
Third Aunt Zhang placed one of Fang Qian 'er's feet on her knee and broke off Fang Qian' er's toes one by one. Then, she sprinkled a large amount of Alum between Fang Qian 'er's toes.
Fang Yun saw the bulging veins on Aunt Zhang's thin and strong hands, and heard Fang Qian 'er's screams mixed with the crisp sound of Fang Qian' er's toes.
There must be a toe fracture or a dislocated toe. This was too cruel.
Fang Yun thought so, but what happened next made him even more frightened.
Aunt Zhang took out two bamboo boards from her bosom and clamped them at Fang Qian 'er's feet.
He picked up a foot-binding cloth covered in broken porcelain pieces and began to wrap it around Fang Qian 'er's feet.
She wrapped it quite forcefully. Fang Yun could clearly see that the blood gradually dyed the layers of foot-binding cloth red.
Fang Yun's upper and lower teeth began to fight. At the same time, he felt…his feet hurt.
Fang Qian 'er's howl was no longer human.
"Mother, it hurts so much. I don't want to bind my feet anymore. Mother, kill me.”Fang Qian 'er cried and pleaded with Madam Xu with tears in her eyes.
Madam Xu hugged Fang Qian 'er tightly. She was also sweating from exhaustion.
" Aunt Zhang, can you..." Madam Xu still felt sorry for her daughter, so she pleaded with Aunt Zhang.
Madam Zhang did not even raise her head.
"If you want to be handsome, you have to be like this. It's not too late to go back on your word now."
"No, I won't go back on my word!" Madam Xu hurriedly said.
Third Aunt Zhang wrapped Fang Qian 'er's feet like rice dumplings, then took the needle and thread and sewed the cloth tightly. She raised her head and met Fang Yun's gaze.
Fang Yun felt like he was being targeted by an executioner. He couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly withdrew his head.
"I told you not to look. You must be scared.”Fang Ru pulled Fang Yun over and said with heartache.
"If you wrap it up like this, it's too small, but it shouldn't be enough to wear those small shoes.”Fang Yun was a little puzzled.
"This is the first time. There will be a second and third time. It will take at least half a year.”Fang Ru explained to Fang Yun.
There was a second and third time?
Fang Yun opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
In the house, Aunt Zhang had already sewn Fang Qian 'er's feet and put on the slightly bigger shoes for her.
"Let's go down and walk." Aunt Zhang said as she let go of Fang Qian 'er's foot.
"We have to leave now?" Madam Xu asked.
"Mother, my heel hurts like it's being cut into pieces. I can't walk.”Fang Qian 'er cried as she threw herself into Madam Xu's arms.
"Only by enduring the hardships of hardship can one become a superior person.”Third Aunt Zhang said as she slowly packed up the baskets.
"Your auntie, your sister Yan 'Er, and sister Mei' Er have also experienced this.”Luo said.
Fang Jiao 'er, Fang Yan' er, and Fang Mei 'er's feet had been wrapped early on, so they hadn't used bamboo or porcelain.
Luo Shi said this to comfort Fang Qian 'er.
Fang Qian 'er lay in Madam Xu's arms and refused to get off the brick bed.
Fang Yun was listening outside. He had seen the broken porcelain pieces in the foot-binding cloth with his own eyes.
To walk on that, this was simply comparable to the ten great tortures. Just thinking about it was terrifying enough.
Although he felt a chill down his spine, his curiosity drove him to quietly open a corner of the curtain.
Madam Xu carried Fang Qian 'er off the brick bed and placed her on the ground.
Fang Qian 'er leaned her weight against Madam Xu's chest and cried as she begged.
"If you're soft-hearted now, all the pain you suffered just now will be in vain.”Madam Qian said.
Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and pushed Fang Qian 'er away.
Fang Qian 'er's entire foot was covered in broken porcelain pieces. How could she stand up? She fell to the ground with a thud.
Mrs. Xu walked over and helped Fang Qian 'er up so that she could walk.
Fang Yun thought of a phrase, dancing on the tip of a knife.
Why did he have to endure such torture?
It was because the women of this era were beautiful and dignified.
Only with a pair of three-inch golden lotuses could one be selected to marry into a family with a good background and live a good life.
Everyone wanted to live a good life, but Fang Yun would never let Fang Ru and Fang Xiner suffer such torture.
If a woman could only live a good life by marrying into a rich family, then she would be able to live a good life.
He could create a rich family and let Fang Ru and the others live a good life.
Fang Yun clenched his fists. He was really agitated by this bloody scene.
"Mother, please kill me, please kill me…Let me keep my big feet, I can also help mother work, just like Sister Ru 'er.”Fang Qian 'er was also in so much pain that she was going crazy. She grabbed Madam Xu's clothes and wailed.
Mrs. Xu was angry and slapped Fang Qian 'er's head.
Fang Qian 'er was stunned and stopped crying.
Madam Xu grabbed Fang Qian 'er's shoulder.
"Qian 'Er, look at your Sister Yan' Er. She's going to marry into the Lu family and live in the county town. She'll be able to live a good life for the rest of her life. She'll also have a lot of servants to order around. Your aunt and Sister Mei 'Er will also have to live like immortals in the future.”
Madam Xu was coaxing Fang Qian 'er." Look at your Sister Ru' er and Sister Xin 'er. They both have big feet. In our house, they can only squat under the stove and work in the fields. When they get married in the future, they will also be slaves for others..."
Fang Yun was so angry that he laughed. He could not help but say," Second Aunt, Sister and I think that we're family. We helped you work, but you didn't thank us and even hurt us with your words. As an elder, you're really losing points!”
"This is none of your business. You can go back.”Luo Shi said to Fang Yun.
Mrs. Xu was a piece of rotten meat. She was very thick-skinned, but today, there was an outsider, Aunt Zhang, and Fang Yun was not as easy to talk to as before. If the two of them were to argue, it would be embarrassing for the Fang family in front of outsiders.
