Chapter 287 Where Did My Darling Go? 4
Ma Xiulian was filled with gratitude, thinking that once she found Guaibao, she would definitely thank the people of the commune properly.
Erni panicked and became frightened when she heard the loudspeaker.
She just wanted to make her grandmother anxious, and when her baby came back, she might even scold or beat her. She never thought that the whole commune would have to go into the mountains to look for her!
There are man-eating wild beasts like tigers and bears in the mountains!
This fear made them even more afraid to tell the truth, lest they be beaten to death by their grandparents.
She instinctively took two steps back, wanting to escape from there.
But as she watched the people from the commune gradually gather at the empty dam with hoes and carrying poles, she finally couldn't withstand the pressure and cried out the truth: "Grandma! My baby isn't lost! She's not lost! She went to town with the Gu family."
Da Ni, standing to the side, listened with an expression of disbelief: "You, you knew about this? Then why didn't you say so sooner?!"
Erni stammered, her face full of guilt, and explained, "I...I forgot."
She didn't dare to express her true feelings at all, and just kept crying and wiping away her tears.
Zhao Mei immediately looked nervously at her mother-in-law, fearing that her mother-in-law would lose her temper on the spot and beat Erni badly.
Although the second daughter made a mistake, it's not enough to kill her.
Everyone else thought the same thing, after all, the whole commune knew that Ma Xiulian doted on Guaibao like her own life.
However, Ma Xiulian's first reaction was not anger, but a heavy sigh of relief, knowing that her baby was alright.
After calming down, she realized that her entire back was ice-cold and was already soaked with cold sweat.
Seeing that the person had been found, Zhao Mancang called out, "It's good that everyone is safe. Let's all go home."
Once she came to her senses, Ma Xiulian apologized and thanked the people from the commune, saying, "I'm so sorry for causing you all trouble."
No one in the commune complained. Putting themselves in her shoes, if someone else said their son or grandson had gone into the mountains, they would probably be even more anxious than she was.
After everyone had mostly left, Ma Xiulian glanced at Erni with a sullen face and said, "Let's go home too."
Mom hasn't even gotten angry or yelled at me yet?!
The Chen family's sons and daughters-in-law were stunned, but for some reason, they had a creepy feeling.
They exchanged a glance, neither daring to ask a question.
After returning home in utter silence, Ma Xiulian suddenly roared, "Kneel down!"
Erni immediately knelt on the ground with a "plop," her face pale with fear as she swallowed hard.
It’s over!
The milk will definitely beat her to death!
Ma Xiulian looked at her with a gloomy face and scolded her sternly: "It's one thing for you to be jealous of Guaibao all the time, but you dare to keep such a big thing a secret?!"
Only God knows how worried and scared she was just now.
"Me, me"
Erni stammered, trying to argue, but when she met her grandmother's sharp, cold gaze, which seemed to see through everything, she immediately shut her mouth as if stung.
That's right, she's just jealous of her baby!
But she didn't do it on purpose!
She just wanted her baby to be disciplined by the grandmother, even if it was just being scolded!
If Grandma hadn't been so biased and anxious, this matter wouldn't have escalated to such a big extent!
So he stiffened his neck, glared defiantly, and said, "Then just kill me!"
"Erni!"
Zhao Mei panicked and pleaded for her daughter, "Mom, please spare her breath and don't beat her to death! It's my fault as her mother for not raising her well. I will definitely discipline her properly from now on and never let her be jealous of my darling again!"
She was genuinely afraid that her mother-in-law would get angry and beat Erni badly.
