"After that day, they couldn't even sit up for many days, and they slept on their stomachs at night. Both sets of elders felt so distressed when they saw this, and kept scolding me and Old Tan for being cruel and not caring about their children at all." After Lu Qing finished speaking, she took a big gulp of tea, as if she was drinking it like wine.

Seeing her like this, Jian Shu quickly comforted her: "Sister-in-law, I know you are not that kind of person. They are all your biological children. How can you not feel distressed?"

"Yeah, they're both pieces of my flesh, how could I not feel bad for them? They couldn't sleep in those days because of the pain, and I couldn't sleep at night either. But there was nothing I could do. Something almost happened, how could I give them an explanation if I didn't beat them up?

The host's children were also beaten so badly that they couldn't get out of bed. How could the two of them get away with committing the same crime? Besides, if they aren't taught a lesson, they won't realize they've done anything wrong. "Lu Qing said softly, as if lost in thought.

Gu Mingjing and Ding Ming, who were listening nearby, only then realized that such a thing had actually happened.

Gu Mingjing was out of town at the time and didn't hear anything about it. After all, it was impossible for Old Tan to mention these things when he called him.

As for Ding Ming, after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have some impression in his memory. It seemed that he met two children when he came to Old Tan's house for a meal as usual.

At that time, the two of them were eating while standing. He even jokingly asked if he was beaten for being naughty, but the two little guys with strong self-esteem immediately retorted that standing to eat would make you taller, and said that he was not tall because he did not eat while standing when he was a child. They also advised him to eat while standing, and maybe he would grow taller.

Later, Old Tan slapped them on the back of the head and told them not to be disrespectful to their elders. He wanted to teach them a lesson, but Ding Ming just laughed it off.

He had forgotten about this matter. If it had not been mentioned today and he had not searched for it specifically, he would not have remembered it at all.

I didn’t expect that this was the reason for the beating, Ding Ming thought, touching his chin.

There was no way. The two kids were too naughty and often got beaten. He had long been used to it.
