Before Ning Huan could even reprimand Ning Liang, Pang Shi said, "If you can't walk anymore, you can go home. You don't need to come with me."
Upon hearing this, Ning Liang knew that no matter how pitiful he pretended this time, it would be useless, and even if he threw a tantrum, Pang Shi would not soften her heart towards him.
He quickly and sensibly stood up, but as he followed Ning Huan and Pang Shi, he grew hungrier and hungrier, and the hungrier he became, the more tired he got.
Having no other choice, he could only follow behind, yelling incoherently, "Sister! Mother! I'm so hungry! Please have pity on me, have some compassion for me!"
"I'm starving to death! What am I going to do? I can't walk anymore! Please help me!"
"Mom, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. I promise I'll listen to you in everything from now on and I'll speak up for you at home."
"Sis, please have pity on me. I promise I'll treat you well from now on and listen to you. It was all my fault before, I made you angry. I was wrong, and I apologize, okay?"
Upon hearing Ning Liang's words, Pang Shi and Ning Huan exchanged a glance and then stopped in their tracks.
"Ning Liang, I don't need your apology. The person you should apologize to the most is your mother."
Ning Huan said calmly, "You think I'll hold a grudge against you for making me angry and treating me badly before? Not at all. I don't care what you think of me. You hate me, and I don't like you either."
"But your mother has taken such good care of you for so many years, how have you treated her?"
Ning Huan spoke from the bottom of her heart. She wasn't the original owner of this body and had no feelings for the Ning family. So no matter how Ning Liang and the others treated her, she didn't care.
But Madam Pang was different; she was Ning Huan and her siblings' biological mother. In the original owner's memories, she worked tirelessly to support the family, and raised the Ning siblings to adulthood safely and healthily.
In the end, she suffered such injustice in her own home, with her husband and eldest son arguing with her, while her younger son remained silent.
Hearing Ning Huan's words, Pang felt a pang of sadness. Her daughter had seen all her grievances. Everyone said that it was better to have a son than a daughter, but in her opinion, her Huan was better than both of her sons.
Hearing these words, Ning Liang realized he had done wrong. He sincerely apologized to Madam Pang: "Mother, I know I was wrong. I will never treat you like that again."
"What I just said is true. I came to see you just to keep you company, not to ask you to go home."
Seeing Ning Liang's sincere expression, Madam Pang was no longer as disheartened as before.
Just then, Ning Liang's stomach rumbled at the most inopportune moment. Hearing the rumbling sound, Ning Huan and Pang Shi exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
"Alright, now that you know you're wrong, then correct it. If I find out you're treating your mother badly again, see how I teach you a lesson!"
As she spoke, she took a piece of rice cake out of her basket and handed it to Ning Liang: "Eat it quickly, we still have a while to walk home."
Seeing the white and soft steamed rice cake, Ning Liang grabbed it and began to wolf it down: "Sis, it's so delicious. Didn't you say you were out of steamed rice cake? How come there's still some?"
Ning Huan pouted: "I'm not lying to you, it's really gone. It was because Mom was soft-hearted that she secretly saved a piece for you."
Hearing this, Ning Liang looked at Madam Pang with even more guilt.
Because they walked relatively quickly, it was still daylight when Ning Huan and the other two arrived home.
When the four little ones saw Ning Huan return with Madam Pang, they rushed up to her excitedly: "Mommy, you're back!"
"Mom, you brought Grandma back too! I'm so happy!"
"Grandma, I miss you so much!"
Seeing how enthusiastic the four little ones were, Pang was much happier.
She stroked the heads of the four little ones and said with a smile, "Grandma missed you too, so I came to see you."
Ning Huan went back into the house and told Zhou Jing'an, "I brought my mother here to stay for a few days. I was thinking that you'll be going to town to get treatment for your leg soon, and there will be no one to take care of the four little ones at home. I'll ask my mother to help out then."
Zhou Jing'an nodded without saying anything else.
Having figured out that Zhou Jing'an's weakness was due to poisoning, Ning Huan added some antidote herbs to his medicine, frequently gave him spirit tree juice, and often used spirit spring water to regulate Zhou Jing'an's body.
Zhou Jing'an's health has improved considerably. Once the broken bone in his leg is set, he will be mostly recovered.
Ning Huan looked at Zhou Jing'an and asked, "How are you feeling now? Do you have any strength?"
Zhou Jingan said, "I feel much better than before. I used to feel tired even when I sat up, but now I feel very energetic. My body used to feel heavy, but recently I feel much lighter."
Hearing Zhou Jing'an's words, Ning Huan nodded: "That means your body is recovering. I estimate that you can go to the clinic in town for surgery soon."
Hearing this, Zhou Jing'an couldn't contain his joy: "Really? When Manager Si mentioned it last time, I thought it would take a long time."
That evening, Ning Huan cooked a lavish meal for Pang Shi. Seeing so much food in the kitchen, Pang Shi said, "Daughter, why did you cook so much? There are so many people in the family, we can't possibly eat it all."
To everyone's surprise, Ning Huan said, "Mother, you haven't had a hot meal for several days, so of course I have to cook something delicious for you to try. Besides, you should also see if my cooking skills have gotten worse these past few days."
Ning Huan cooked quite a lot of food today. She took out the ribs and meat she bought in town from her consciousness space.
First, I made braised pork ribs, then stewed meat and several stir-fried dishes, and a corn soup.
Then she picked some wood ear mushrooms from her consciousness space, cooked them, and made a cold wood ear mushroom salad. The refreshing taste was just right to whet her appetite.
Then, the steamed yam was mashed into yam puree and made into dessert for the four little dumplings tonight.
When Ning Huan finished her work and brought the food to the table, the four little ones couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Mommy, why did you cook so much delicious food today!"
"Mom, is something big happening in our house today? Why is there so much meat?!"
"It smells so good, my mouth is watering!"
Hearing the four little ones say that, Madam Pang smiled and said, "Since you want to eat, then hurry up and eat! Come on, Grandma will put some food on your plate!"
Ning Liang sat to the side watching Pang Shi. Since his mother hadn't touched her chopsticks, he didn't eat either.
The little boy noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion, "Uncle, why aren't you eating?"
Little Erbao chimed in, "Uncle, my mom's cooking is delicious, you should try some!"
