Looking into the two pairs of clear, innocent eyes, which were filled with grievance and forbearance, Meng Shuyun noticed that the two children spoke cautiously when they looked at Zhong Shuzhen.
Zhong Shuzhen couldn't let these two little devils ruin her reputation, so she immediately pointed at their noses and shouted sternly, "Hurry up and carry the pig feed in, and then go to the field to pick some chili peppers and eggplants to make something nice for your grandma. We have guests at home, and you don't even know to pour a glass of water. You have no manners at all."
The two who were being scolded shrank back, took a step back in fright, and looked at Meng Shuyun nervously.

The two sisters held Meng Shuyun's hands and eagerly told her everything they knew, afraid that once Meng Shuyun entered the house and heard her grandmother's kind words, she would no longer believe them.
