Chapter 94: Now I Know I’m Scared
In the evening, Mingyang and Mingliang had heard from the people in the village who had seen their parents that they had returned from the hospital. Grandpa Guai went to pick them up, and he must have heard about what they had done. The two hesitated and didn’t dare to go home.
Mingfang, who was walking in front, found that she was the only one. She turned around and saw her two brothers standing not far behind her with their heads down. Seeing them like that, she felt angry.
"What are you doing? You're scared now? How dare you run to grandpa's house and smash the pot last night? I heard from Grandma Juying that a pot costs three or four yuan. You broke it, so your parents should pay for it. Humph, you smashed it, and now you've been caught. If grandpa hadn't protected you, your fourth uncle would have beaten you to death."
Lu Mingliang was immediately unhappy when she heard what she said. He frowned and said fiercely, "He dares to beat me to death. His job depends on dad. If mom and dad find out, he will be in trouble."
Although Lu Mingyang didn't say anything, he meant the same thing.
"Then what are you doing standing there? Come home with me!"
The two of them stopped at the same time, feeling very guilty. They had been worried since they heard that their mother had returned, and they wanted to see how she was doing and whether she was feeling better. But they felt guilty. Although Fourth Uncle listened to Grandpa and didn't bother with them, the look in his and Fourth Aunt's eyes when they looked at them was frightening.
"Mingfang, why don't you go back and take a look at the situation first. If mom and dad are not angry, we will go home. Mom was so sick yesterday. If she is angry because of us, she must be even worse."
"Now you are scared. Have you forgotten what mom told you yesterday, second brother? I don't even need to go and take a look first, mom must be angry." Mingfang felt reluctant after she said this. After all, her two brothers tied their aunt's hair because they saw her being bullied. Now it is time for the brother and sister to advance and retreat together.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go back together. Mother just said that. She is soft-hearted. She won't abandon us, nor will she be angry with us. When she went to the hospital, she asked Grandma Juying to bring us some honey when we go to school, just because she was afraid that we would be hungry."
Mingfang's words made Mingyang and He Mingliang relax. It's true that mother is very soft-hearted now.
"Then..."
"Then let's go back?"
After the two said this, they seemed to have confidence. They took two quick steps and came to Mingfang's side. When the three of them arrived at the door of the house, they still hesitated for a moment and leaned on the door crack to look for a long time. They didn't see anything, and they didn't smell the fragrance of food.
Mingfang's heart tightened. He didn't care about his two brothers beside him. He pushed the door open and ran in in a hurry.
"Mom, are you home? What's wrong with you?"
Mingyang and Mingliang also ran inside. Just when the three children ran to the main room anxiously, the room suddenly lit up, and then they saw their father, who had just returned a day ago, standing in the middle of the main room, looking at them sternly.
The most important thing is that he was holding a belt in his hand, and the woman holding Mingkai and drinking tea leisurely beside him was the mother they were worried about.
Lu Mingyang: "..."
Lu Mingliang: "......."
Lu Mingfang: "......."
The three children glanced around and secretly glanced at the slightly open courtyard door.
"Don't look at me. I've been waiting for you for so long. I can't let you run away. You have to take the beating today even if you run to the ends of the sky. Haha, it's incredible. I didn't know the two boys in our family were so powerful. They dared to tie their fourth aunt's hair and hang your grandfather's thing on a tree branch. You are so capable, why don't you go to heaven?"
Shen Meng became more and more angry as she spoke. She wished she could take the belt and give the two troublesome guys a good beating. However, she couldn't bear to use such a thick belt to really hit the children. She turned her head away and hardened her heart. If she didn't be strict, it would be easy for them to make mistakes when they enter the society in the future.
"Last night, I told you everything I should have told you, but you still didn't listen. It seems that you really don't have me as your mother in your heart. In this case, you can do whatever you want in the future!"
Shen Meng put Lu Mingkai, who was sitting on her lap and twiddling his fingers and not daring to speak, down from her lap, and walked slowly towards the east room with a hurt face.
Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang began to worry. They were afraid of being beaten, but compared to being beaten, what could be more sad than their mother ignoring them!
"Mom, I was wrong, I'm obedient, please don't abandon us!"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have made you angry, don't leave, I will listen to you in the future, really."
The two children were about to run towards Shen Meng, and Lu Zhenping stood in front of them.
"Stand, your mother is not well yet, don't make her angry again, just stay still."
Mingyang and Mingliang paused because of Lu Zhenping's words, looked at him, then looked at the belt in his hand, and lowered their heads resignedly.
"Dad, go ahead and beat us. As long as mom can forgive us, we can beat them to death."
Mingyang was very bold. He even propped up his thighs with his hands and stuck his butt high. Mingliang followed suit and imitated the posture, preparing to be beaten. His little face also glanced at his brother. He was actually very scared. When they were very young, they were often beaten. When they first came to the Lu family, they had a good life for two days, but then slowly became worse. After mom came into the house, it got worse. Now mom finally took them to heart.
Even if they didn't think they were wrong, they still thought that after admitting the punishment, mom would still love and care about them as before.
Lu Zhenping: "......."
He never expected this situation. Not only were these two brats not afraid, but they accepted it very quickly. He didn't know how to start.
"Dad, don't hit my brother, don't hit my brother, wuwuwu... They did it for mom and for me. It was grandpa and fourth aunt who bullied others. They beat mom into the hospital. And me, dad, look, there is a big piece of hair missing on my scalp, it hurts a lot. My brother went to grandpa's house to make trouble, and was beaten by fourth uncle. Really, dad, look at my brother's butt, it's all bruised."
Lu Zhenping frowned when he heard this. He put the belt in his hand on the table, grabbed Lu Mingliang, took off his pants, and the two white buttocks were covered with bruises. Under the dim light, it was very scary.
Shen Meng, who was lying on the door crack and listening to Mingfang's words, stood up straight in anger. How could it be so serious? Didn't they say that they just gave her a lesson and didn't do anything harsh?
