Yun Miao didn't say anything nonsense. She mentioned it to her mother after she returned. Yun Miao's mother thought that Zhu Cuilan had secretly arranged a marriage for Zhao Fangchu without telling anyone. In the afternoon, the two met in the village. She teased Zhu Cuilan about this as if it were a happy event, saying that she had kept it secret and found such a good family for Fangchu without letting any of the news out.

Zhu Cuilan was confused by what she heard. After hearing the whole story, her expression changed immediately. She went home angrily and called Zhao Fangchu out to give him a good scolding.

Yun Qiaoniang saw that she looked unhappy, and she chased after her and tried to persuade her, asking her to go back and talk to Fang Chu properly and not to lose her temper. She also said that she would keep the matter secret and would not let Yun Miao go out and talk about it.

"Zhao Fangchu, come out, you little bastard! Do you really think I'm old? Come out!"

Zhao Fangchu was in the house chatting with Yang Donghu and the old lady. When he heard Zhu Cuilan's shouting outside, his heart started pounding.

Zhu Cuilan called out a few times but no one came out. She couldn't wait any longer and rushed into the house to catch him. As soon as she saw Zhao Fangchu, she started to twist his body: "Tell me, what's going on between you and that kid from the Yang family? If Yun Qiaoniang and I weren't familiar with each other, someone else would have told everyone about it. You are so brave that you even dared to secretly go to the temple to pray for people. How far have you two gone? Why didn't you tell me? Did you two do anything behind my back?"

Zhao Fangchu grimaced in pain and begged for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts, Mom, please let me go, it hurts so much."

"Auntie, auntie, please talk it over, don't use violence," Yang Donghu snatched Zhao Fangchu from Zhu Cuilan's hands and protected him behind her. Zhu Cuilan was really furious this time and hit him hard. Zhao Fangchu's ears were burning with pain and so red that they seemed to bleed.

"You still dare to hide? I tell you, if you don't explain yourself to me today, I will beat you to death. You are getting more and more bold. It's outrageous. Do you still regard me as your mother?"

Zhu Cuilan clutched her chest and sat beside the old lady's bed. The old lady half-sat up to help Zhu Cuilan calm down: "If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Listen to what Fang Chu said."

The mess in the yard alarmed Yang Anjin, who was helping to hold the child. When he rushed over with Taole in his arms, Zhao Fangchu was wiping his tears and admitting his mistake.

"Um... Mom, I was wrong, don't be angry." He covered his ears and hid behind Yang Donghu, not daring to move forward. He could only sob and shed tears.

"You don't know what happened. This little bastard was praying for that Yang family kid when Yun Miao caught him. Luckily, Yun Miao is a good girl and didn't gossip. Otherwise, if this matter got out, his spine would have been broken."

As expected, when the truth was revealed, Zhao Fangyu followed Yang Anjin in. Fearing that the fire would spread to his husband, he stood in front of Yang Anjin and blocked him tightly, not wanting Zhu Cuilan to notice him.

After Zhao Fangchu finished crying, Zhu Cuilan urged him to tell everything about his past with Yang Anchen, not daring to hide anything.

Zhu Cuilan grew angrier as she listened: "How dare you make such a decision on your own? You're imitating others and getting married privately? Do you still have any dignity left?"

"But mother, didn't you also say that this was consensual, and my willingness was the most important thing?"

"That's only important if you're willing to do it after you've made your decision. Who allowed you to flirt with others in private? I think I've been too indulgent with you. Okay, I can't control you anymore. Fang Yu, go to town and find your father and let him take care of you."

Zhao He is usually taciturn and seems to be the one in charge of the family, but if he gets angry, even Zhao Luochuan can't stand it. When Zhao Fangchu heard this, he was so scared that he quickly looked at Zhao Fangyu for help.

"Mom, calm down. Dad's work in town is already tiring and hard. I think it's best not to let him know about this. Otherwise, he'll be very upset. What will he do if something bad happens to him in town?"

After that, Zhao Fangyu added: "You've already beaten him. If you're still not satisfied, just scold him a few more times to vent your anger. If that doesn't work, then punish him by not giving him food for a few days. If he goes hungry after a few meals, he'll realize his mistake."

"Yes, auntie," Yang Donghu pulled Zhao Fangchu to the foot of the bed and sat between him and Zhu Cuilan, separating them. "This isn't a big deal, auntie. Don't you trust Yun Miao's family? The gossip will stop with them and won't spread. You're so angry because you love Fangchu. How can we not see that? When it comes to loving children, who in our village can compare to you, auntie?"

"They say being a mother is hard. I finally understand today."

"Fang Chu also knows that you are doing this for his own good, so he will definitely not complain. He deserved a beating, but he has been beaten and scolded, and Fang Chu also knows that he was wrong. Look at his ears, they are red, and who knows what he will look like tomorrow."

Yang Donghu persuaded her, and Yang Anjin also peeked out from behind Zhao Fangyu: "Mom, I'm sorry, it was my brother who did this and it wasn't right. Mom has already told him about it. When he comes back, I'll definitely ask him to come and apologize to Mom in person."

"This matter has nothing to do with An Jin." Zhao Fangyu still stood in front of the people without moving an step.

Zhu Cuilan was so angry that she didn't even notice that there was a relative of the Yang family here. Yang Anjin felt uneasy and uncomfortable. Zhu Cuilan patted her chest, took a deep breath, and gave Zhao Fangyu a look before saying to Yang Anjin, "I know, kid, how could your mother blame you?"

After several people pleaded for her, and she also had to take care of the old lady while she was recuperating, Zhu Cuilan was no longer as angry as when she came back. She looked at Zhao Fangchu a little more favorably, but her tone was still bad. She pointed at Zhao Fangchu and said viciously: "You stay home and don't go anywhere, not even out the door. Don't show yourself in front of others."

Zhao Fangchu was so frightened today that he didn't dare to say no, so he quickly nodded and agreed.
