Half a month later, the Yue Family got the result they had been waiting for.
Due to the severe infanticide of female infants in the past two years, the city's leaders paid extra attention to this case.
Ma Jinbao's family happened to be used as an example at this time, and all procedures moved very quickly.
Eventually, Ma Zhuzi admitted to murdering the infant girl, although he continuously argued that other members of his family were unaware of it.
Considering various factors, the authorities ultimately decided to accept this claim.
Ma Zhuzi was sentenced to death and executed immediately.
The rest of Ma Jinbao's family was released.
This case immediately caused a sensation in the surrounding cities and villages, and the trend of drowning female infants abruptly stopped.
In the past, everyone felt that it was up to the family to decide whether a child should live or die after being born.
Only now did they realize that killing an infant also required paying with one's life.
