Chapter 5: Not Disdainful
"It's not the New Year."
Madam Song secretly stared at her and helped Second Aunt Ning up.
Second Aunt Ning was never one to be taken advantage of. She scolded, "You blind and annoying. A lazy and useless thing like you will only have a poor life in the future!"
Madam Song turned pale, and she let go.
She could tolerate anything that was said about her, but not her children.
Second Aunt Ning did not expect this to happen. Her feet tilted, and she almost fell back down.
After being unlucky twice in a row,she had a bad mood. After getting up by herself, she was filled with anger. Just as she was about to scold them, she saw three of them looking at her indifferently.
Their gaze made her shudder. She finally remembered the purpose of being here.
Second Aunt Ning wiped her face and said, "Huh, Sister-in-law."
"Dad and Mom haven't been feeling well recently. The doctor said that they're all tired from work."
"If it weren't for Eldest Brother, why would the two elders have to do it themselves and make themselves suffer like that?"
Second Aunt Ning lied without thinking. She made the two older adults lazing around at home sound so diligent.
Then, she again talked about fatherly love and filial piety. She made it sound like her eldest brother's injury had implicated many family members.
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard her words, causing Madam Song to avoid Second Aunt Ning's gaze and stare at her.
However, the guilt that Second Aunt Ning had aroused was decreased under her daughter's playfulness. Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only
Madam Song's dad was an old scholar and often doted on her. She had studied when she was young. Her few words won't lead her.
Although she was different from ordinary peasant women, she was also a traditional woman who paid attention to filial piety. If Second Aunt Ning said these words as soon as she arrived, she might be touched.
However, when she thought about how Second Aunt Ning had cursed her earlier and looked at her daughter's mischievous appearance, she suddenly could not feel guilty.
She could even think more about her daughter's words when Second Aunt Ning was talking.
Xiaoxiao had been brainwashing her family these past few days.
"When we were in the Ning residence, we chopped firewood, fed the chickens, washed clothes, and cooked. We also had to take care of Grandma's unknown grass. Dad and Second Brother worked day and night, but what about the others? Did they have any other work at home?"
"Mom, I realized that everyone in our family eats the same food, but why did we eat differently from our grandparents, second uncles, and third uncles before we separated? Moreover, we work a lot but only eat porridge."
"Mom, grandparents always say that you and Dad are unfilial. But if this is considered unfilial, how can it be considered filial? Should you cut off meat to feed them, as the storybook said? Grandma hits and scolds us for no reason. Do we have to go along with everything she says? Does she think we're filial this way?"
"But mom, you've never scolded grandma before. Why is she still talking to everyone?"
And so on.
Although she was scolded after saying, Madam Song remembered her words at the same time, making her change unknowingly.
For example, no matter what Second Aunt Ning said now, not only did she not take the initiative to admit her mistake and compensate like before, but she also did not say a word and quietly watched Second Aunt Ning.
Second Aunt Ning spoke until thirsty, but no one answered. She felt a little awkward.
Hence, she changed the topic and finally revealed her real purpose.
"Xiaoxiao was lucky to get a big fish today, right?"
"Parents haven't eaten meat for a few days. They don't mind if it's not meat. Let me have a bowl."
She then handed the big bowl to Madam Song as if it was a matter of course.
