Chapter 70 at least made them kneel again.

Zhong Chengyi was startled and almost dropped the child in his arms.

Zhang Chunxue's heart was in her throat. She rushed over in three steps, snatched Zhong Yuanyuan away, and checked her condition.

She breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that Zhong Yuanyuan was still fast asleep.

However, when she looked up at the two brothers, her gaze turned sinister.

"One of you is Yuanyuan's eldest uncle, and the other is Yuanyuan's third uncle, yet you won't even hug her?"

Seeing Zhang Chunxue's appearance, Zhong Chengyi shrank back, feeling that something was very wrong.

Sure enough, Zhang Chunxue immediately roared, "You two! Get to the corner and kneel down!"

"A bunch of troublemakers!"

"Can't do anything worthwhile!"

With long faces, Zhong Chengfa and Zhong Chengyi knelt down again in the shade of a tree in the southwest corner of the yard.

Zhang Chunxue, holding Zhong Yuanyuan, then kicked open Zhong Chengren's door.

Zhong Chengren was so frightened he almost fell off the bed: "Mom, Mom... I, I..."

"You don't even care about your own daughter! You don't watch the child at home, and you make Xiaoxiao carry the child to the neighboring village!" Zhang Chunxue gritted her teeth. "You come out here with me too! Kneel down with them!"

With a mournful face, Zhong Chengren reluctantly got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and slowly walked to the two brothers, kneeling down with a crestfallen expression.

Zhang Chunxue snorted heavily before turning and going back to the kitchen.

The summer wind brought waves of heat, but the three brothers felt a chill in their hearts.

"Are we going to be without lunch again today?" Zhong Chengyi rubbed his empty stomach.

Zhong Chengfa comforted her, saying, "From another perspective, it's not that Mom doesn't care about us anymore. Isn't this just making us kneel as punishment?"

Zhong Chengren and Zhong Chengyi looked over together and rolled their eyes at the same time.

Zhang Chunxue handed Zhong Yuanyuan over to Zhong Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but scold her three sons.

Zhong Chengren, in particular, was subjected to a severe scolding.

Zhong Xiaoxiao shrank her neck and dared not speak.

Zhang Chunxue prepared the meal, first feeding Zhong Yuanyuan rice cereal, and then leaving the rest for Zhong Hongqing to finish.

Zhong Hongqing was extremely pleased with himself.

He thought the best thing in the world was the rice porridge his sister left over.

From Zhong Chengfa's perspective, he could see Zhong Hongqing eating so heartily, not even glancing at his own father, let alone hoping that Zhong Chengfa would say a few words on his behalf.

Zhong Chengfa was so angry he was practically fuming, but there was nothing he could do but sigh and rub his empty stomach.

“Hungry…” Zhong Chengyi looked miserable.

Zhong Chengren was getting impatient and immediately tried to stand up: "I..."

“If you go against your mother’s wishes, be prepared to be kicked out of the house!” Zhong Chengyi reminded him. “Second brother, don’t forget how you shamelessly came back after you left so defiantly last time.”

Zhong Chengren knelt down again, looking miserable.

After Zhang Chunxue and the others finished eating, Zhang Chunxue went to the field with a hoe on his back. The three brothers looked at each other and then helped each other to their feet.

As soon as he stood up, Zhong Chengren rushed into the kitchen as if his pants were on fire.

Zhong Xiaoxiao was about to leave when he almost knocked her over.

Zhong Hongqing was bumped by Zhong Chengren and fell to the ground with a thud.

He immediately burst into tears.

Although Zhong Chengfa was hungry, he felt sorry for his son who was crying, so he quickly picked up Zhong Hongqing and immediately scolded Zhong Chengren.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you! You almost knocked Hongqing flying!"

Zhong Chengren, scraping the bottom of the pot with his rice scoop, looked completely unconvinced upon hearing this: "Who told him to stand in the middle of the road?"

Zhong Chengfa's face darkened: "Second brother, you..."

Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting again, Zhong Chengyi quickly spoke up: "Alright, alright, big brother and second brother, stop arguing and go eat! We still have to work in the fields later!"

Zhong Chengren curled his lip.

He's definitely not going.

It's been several days since he last went to the masturbator. Zhong Chengren plans to go to town later to gamble and win some money to rent a small courtyard so he and Meng Wanshu can enjoy some alone time together.

The three brothers shoveled their food down, and Zhong Chengren threw down his bowl and chopsticks and ran away.

Zhong Chengyi's eyes darted around, and he also made an excuse about having a stomachache and ran off as well.

Zhong Chengfa was left to clean up the mess on the table, cursing as he did so.

After all, if these things aren't dealt with, then the three of them will be the ones getting punished.

Zhong Cheng suddenly realized that his two younger brothers were really no good.

Just as Zhong Chengyi ran out, Zhong Xiaoxiao called him back.

"Third Brother!" she beckoned. "What exactly happened that Mom got into, the one you just told me about?"

Zhong Chengyi immediately leaned over: "Actually, I don't know the details either. I just heard from Aunt Wang that when our mother went to the supply and marketing cooperative, she was stopped by Aunt Jin Gui and then scolded by her..."

"You know Mom's temper; she's not the type to let anyone scold her."

"She threw a tantrum right there in front of the supply and marketing cooperative! And guess what happened after that?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao was speechless: "Third Brother, can you stop keeping me in suspense?"

Zhong Chengyi chuckled: "I only heard about it... I heard it's because Secretary Song came to our house for dinner last night, and Aunt Jin Gui found out, so she got jealous!"

Zhong Xiaoxiao: "???"

"Why is she jealous when Teacher Song comes to our house for dinner?" Zhong Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled. "Didn't Aunt Jin Gui marry into Wangjia Village a long time ago? What does Teacher Song have to do with her?"

"You wouldn't know this!" Zhong Chengyi said smugly. "I've heard that Aunt Jin Gui had a crush on Secretary Song when she was young, and she still can't forget him even after they got married."

"Ugh~" Zhong Xiaoxiao said with a look of disgust, "How can she treat her man like this?"

"So!" Zhong Chengyi almost spat out his saliva, "Her husband found out about it and came to our village to cause trouble for Zhong Jingui, giving her a good beating..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoxiao's heart immediately jumped: "Could it be that Aunt Jin Gui's husband thinks that our mother was the one who exposed this matter, so he holds a grudge against our mother?"

Zhong Chengyi immediately shook his head like a rattle drum: "Our mom is really capable of causing big trouble. She even went to Third Grandpa's house to watch the excitement!"

"Then I heard from Aunt Wang that our mother stirred things up, and Aunt Jin Gui's husband beat her even more fiercely! Later, people from the brigade headquarters came..."

"Aunt Jin Gui has completely lost face this time!"

"I don't know what happened after that, because Aunt Wang came back to get the melon seeds and then rushed off to watch the excitement again..."

"Anyway, Mom came back safe and sound. It was a triumphant return!"
