The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 160 Kneel Down
In other words, Zhuang Qingning hadn't even had time to eat since last night.
A little girl, busy with everything, taking care of her, not even having time to eat...
"Mother..." When Meng saw that Wen looked unhappy, her heart skipped a beat.
Meng knew that her mother-in-law had a bad temper. Although she never yelled at her daughter-in-law in a sarcastic way every day, she had seen the hurtful words she said to Zhuang Yutian.
In her heart, Meng was still extremely afraid of her bad-tempered mother-in-law. Seeing that Wen was in a bad mood, she was afraid that Wen would be unhappy and take her anger out on her.
After all, since she moved to the county town with Zhuang Yutian, it was said that it was for the purpose of making a living, but leaving her mother-in-law alone in the countryside was considered unfilial in the eyes of many people, and she felt quite guilty about it.
"Take the children out first and let the eldest and the second oldest in." Wen said, her tone obviously filled with anger.
When Meng heard this, she immediately felt relieved. Fortunately, he was not scolding them as daughters-in-law. But then she became quite worried.
I was worried that Mrs. Wen would scold Zhuang Yutian enough.
But no matter how worried she was, since Mrs. Wen asked her to go and call someone, she had to go.
Meng arranged for her sister-in-law to bring the children to the yard to play with her, and called Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng into the house.
"You should be more careful. I can see that mother doesn't look very well." Mrs. Meng reminded Zhuang Yutian, "Just now I said that there was a bowl of tofu pudding on the stove and it was not touched. I wonder if mother didn't eat and she was unhappy. You should also take a good look at why mother is unhappy. Don't tell me that it's because I said something wrong."
"It's okay, I get it." Zhuang Yutian comforted his wife: "Don't think too much. I guess there is something inside that he wants to tell Yucheng and me. You take the children here for a while, and Yucheng and I will go in and take a look."
"Yeah." Meng responded and led the children to play in the yard.
The brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng entered the house and approached Wen.
"Mom, you called us?" Zhuang Yutian asked with concern, "How are you feeling right now, mom? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Kneel down."
Mrs. Wen did not answer Zhuang Yutian's words, but instead shouted with a stern face.
The two brothers were stunned at first, and then knelt in front of Wen's bed.
"Mom, you are..."
As soon as Zhuang Yutian asked, he immediately hung his head and said, "That's right, we should kneel down. You've made mother so angry. Not to mention that mother made us kneel down, even if she beat us up, it would be what we deserve."
"You know you're unfilial? I only treated you two as brothers and have been looking forward to my old bones dying!" Mrs. Wen shouted angrily.
The two brothers hurriedly explained: "We dare not think so. This time, it was really our fault, but we were also deceived by Zhuang Ruman. Now the misunderstanding has been resolved, and we have apologized to Ning girl. Mother, please don't take it to heart..."
"Don't take it to heart?"
Mrs. Wen's face became more gloomy: "Once you say something, it's like spilled water. The ground is wet, how can you expect others not to take it to heart?"
"And what you two said is not water, it is a knife, a knife stabbing into the heart! After stabbing others, you want them not to take it to heart? What kind of words are you talking about?"
"You two now know how to beg others not to take it to heart, but why do you take the things I said in the past to heart and still hold a grudge against me?"
"You get angry when you get hurt, but ask others to be tolerant when you hurt others. You get the upper hand in everything. What kind of logic is that?"
Wen's shout was like a huge rock weighing thousands of gold, which crushed the brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng so much that they couldn't even lift their heads. Their backs were bent deeply, and their faces were so red that they almost bled.
You're right, the two of them did complain, complaining about why Wen was so harsh in her words and actions, which made them feel uncomfortable. They just wanted to be criticized outside, and they even moved out of the house just to avoid Wen. The reason was that they felt that Wen's daily words and deeds hurt their feelings.
They did not choose to forgive their own mother, but now they are asking their own mother to forgive the mistakes of the two brothers. This is indeed unfair.
"Mom, we were wrong. If you want to beat us or scold us, just tell us." Zhuang Yucheng was a straightforward man with a strong character. After hearing these words, he burst into tears and snot, and he lay on the ground, unable to get up.
Zhuang Yutian was a reserved person, and at this moment, tears welled up in his eyes. He just kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wen let out a long sigh.

"You are all so old, what can I do if I hit you or scold you? Hurry up and pack up, and take care of my body for the next few days. I will settle the rest with you later."
"Mom, this is what I think." Zhuang Yutian wiped his eyes and said, "It's not convenient for you to be alone at home. Yucheng and I are really busy all day and can't come back every day. If that doesn't work, you can follow me to the county town. You can live more comfortably and we can take good care of you and show our filial piety."
"No." Wen refused without a second thought, and glared at Zhuang Yucheng: "I just asked you to look after me for two days, and you think it's a bother? I have lived here all my life, and there is no way I can move out now."
"If you are willing to take care of my old bones for two days, then do so. If you don't want to, then get out of here right now and stop being an eyesore."
Wen was probably so angry that her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, and she couldn't help coughing twice.
"Mom, don't be angry, please don't be angry." Zhuang Yutian remembered what Zhuang Qingning had told the doctor just now, that he must not let Wen get angry again, and he didn't care about anything else, and nodded hurriedly: "We will listen to mom."
There is still a lot of time in the future, and I can slowly persuade this person. I absolutely cannot get angry now.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wen snorted coldly and continued, "Go to the town and buy some chickens, ducks, etc. and stew them on the stove."
"Don't worry, mother. I have asked Mrs. Meng to make you a bowl of chicken noodle soup at noon. I know you don't like it very much, so I specifically asked her to put less salt in it." Zhuang Yutian replied hurriedly.
"It's not for me, it's for you to send some to Miss Ning." Wen said, "Miss Ning came here in the middle of the night last night, and she stayed up all night. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast this morning."
