Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11764

"That can't be right, can it? Didn't Liu'er and Yongzhi say before that Da Niu Niu has a good temper, is well-behaved, obedient, and sensible? How could she say such a thing?"

Before Zhao Liuer could respond, Cao Bamei, who was standing to the side, denied Yang Ruoqing's question.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Cao Bamei but didn't argue with her. Her gaze remained fixed on Zhao Liuer.

"Third Sister-in-law, do you think my question was correct?" Yang Ruoqing asked again, "Daniu Niu has thrown tantrums at you like this before, right? This time it was the worst, even you could hardly control her, could you?"

Zhao Liuer looked extremely embarrassed and troubled.

It seemed that she really wanted to righteously deny Yang Ruoqing's question.

However, in reality, it was as if Yang Ruoqing had an eye in their room, seeing everything that had happened clearly, to the point that Zhao Liuer couldn't refute it, because to refute it would be to deceive herself.

At this point, Cao Bamei also realized what was going on.

Cao Bamei looked incredulous and grabbed Zhao Liuer's hand, asking, "Liuer, really? Qing'er really came true? This isn't the first time something like this has happened?"

Zhao Liuer sighed and said, "Well, how should I put it? Although this child yelled at me today, it can't be entirely blamed on her. Usually, although we've argued before, it's all been alright."

“Yongzhi said that children grow up and will always have their own temper. We were like that ourselves, so we didn’t make a big deal out of it…”

Yang Ruoqing and Cao Bamei looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing Zhao Liuer's words.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Liuer is Da Niu Niu's mother. No matter how much Da Niu Niu throws a tantrum or says disrespectful things to her, her own mother, any mother would unconditionally forgive her child.

Even in front of others, Zhao Liuer's first thought was to cover for her daughter, trying her best to prevent people from misunderstanding that her daughter was a person of bad character. Her daughter was just young, just in the process of growing up, and had just made a mistake that any child in their growth stage would make...

Yang Ruoqing, being a mother herself, naturally understood Zhao Liuer's feelings and difficulties.

You can't just call in outsiders and have them beat a child to death with sticks just because the child is being disobedient and talking back to you, can you?
It's even less likely that they would join forces with outsiders to condemn their own child, criticizing them mercilessly and nailing them to the pillar of moral shame, making the child unable to hold their head up and giving them absolutely no chance to reform...

So Yang Ruoqing went along with Zhao Liuer's words: "Every family is pretty much the same, and it's not just Da Niu Niu who is like this. It's common for children to talk back to their parents when they grow up. My family went through the same thing."

Zhao Liuer looked at Yang Ruoqing, and it was clear that there was a sense of relief in her eyes.

"What? Is Wuyou like this too?" Zhao Liuer asked.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Every child expresses themselves differently. Although she doesn't act like Da Niu Niu, she still has her own little quirks, which is normal."

Yang Ruoqing was too embarrassed to stab Zhao Liuer in the heart, because even most children wouldn't say what her eldest daughter had said earlier.

Luo Wuyou had never talked back to her parents like this before.

In situations like the previous case with Da Niu Niu, the best solution is to slap her.

Hit her hard, make her understand that I hit her to save her and help her.

If I don't punish you today, with your foul temper and sharp tongue, when you grow up and go to your husband's family, your mother-in-law, your husband, your sisters-in-law, a whole bunch of people will want to slap you!

Hear the strings and know the elegant meaning.

Seeing this, Cao Bamei echoed Yang Ruoqing's words and said a few words to comfort Zhao Liuer. The gist was that she was just a child, her own flesh and blood, and there was no need to get angry with her. She would talk to her calmly later, and she would be fine when she grew up.

A little while later, Jin and Sun returned with Da Niu Niu.

"Go, go and say something to your mother." Sun pulled Da Niu Niu to the doorway and encouraged her.

Da Niu Niu, like a wriggling maggot, reluctantly walked up to Zhao Liu'er.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say the words.

He turned to look at Mrs. Sun.

Both Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Jin looked at her with encouraging and expectant eyes. When she turned her head to look in their direction, Mrs. Sun waved gently to Da Niu Niu, while Mrs. Jin stomped her foot anxiously.

Da Niu Niu gritted her teeth and spoke at twice the speed, saying to Zhao Liu'er, "I won't talk to you like that next time!"

Then, after saying that, she turned around and ran to the back of the room, where a curtain had been drawn, to hide by her small bed and refused to come out again.

Cao Bamei stepped in again to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. It's my own child, I won't take it to heart no matter what I say."

“Now that he knows he was wrong and has apologized, let’s put this matter behind us. There’s no need to talk to Yongzhi about it when he comes back.”

Yang Ruoqing nodded and said, "Then we'll head back first. The sun has already set, let's go back and have dinner."

Before leaving, Sun whispered to Zhao Liuer, "I'll bring you some scallions later. You go and start rising the dough. Da Niu Niu just wants to eat that scallion pancake. Let's make her wish."

Zhao Liuer was full of gratitude and said, "Third Aunt, how could I let you bring it over? I'll go with you right now and get the scallions."

Sun glanced at Zhao Liuer's belly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's better not to. It's just a short walk for me to bring it over."

Zhao Liuer shook her head repeatedly and said, "Third Aunt, I'm not that delicate. I can do it."

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the figure of Da Niu Niu, who was sulking on the small bed behind the curtain, and said to Sun Shi, "Mother, you should go with Third Sister-in-law. Going for a walk will be good for her health."

Zhao Liuer nodded repeatedly.

"Are you sure you can rest easy with Da Niu Niu all alone in the house?" Sun asked again.

Zhao Liuer nodded, "Yes, her grandmother is here too."

Zhao Liuer gestured a few times toward Jin Shi, who understood and raised her thumb to point at herself, gesturing a few times.

This means that Zhao Liuer can go and get the scallions without worry, while she will stay and keep Da Niu Niu company.

And so, the group temporarily left Old Yang's old house.

On the way to the village entrance, Cao Bamei and Sun Shi couldn't help but offer Zhao Liuer a few more words of comfort.

Zhao Liuer nodded the whole way, grateful for everyone's concern. She occasionally said a few words, but they were all trying to smooth things over, implying that they could handle it. It wasn't really a big deal today; it was just that her mother-in-law, Jin, was worried that a heated argument would harm the baby in her womb, so she made a big fuss and even went to the village entrance to call everyone over, which delayed everyone's work...

Yang Ruoqing walked at the back of the group. Hearing Zhao Liuer's words, she could only shake her head inwardly, recalling a saying: "A doting mother often spoils her son!"
