After martial arts passed the Ming Road, Mingyi brother and sister ran out more frequently, and brought back a lot of fresh meat one after another.
Although Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua were curious about how they caught game, they did not go beyond their third son to ask.
Cheng Yuanxi deliberately concealed it and only said that they had better luck and knew how to dig traps to catch prey. After hearing this, the people in the tribe followed suit and dug many traps inside and outside the valley, but the harvest was very little.
If you're lucky, you can catch a rabbit, but if you're not lucky, you won't even see a few hairs.
"Brother, this is a cliff. Should we go down and have a look?" There are few places with good things on the cliff. If you are adventurous, you can also explore it.
Cheng Mingli looked over and saw that the cliff was deserted. "It's better not to take risks on the cliff; our parents are still waiting for us to go back. It's time for my sister to go back."
"Okay." Unfortunately, we walked back. We couldn't see the bottom of the cliff. There should be something at the bottom of the cliff.
Returning the way they came, they didn't catch any prey today and only practiced martial arts.
Back at the valley pool, Mingyi went to the waterside to wash her face. Cheng Mingli found a stone and just sat down. Before she could take a breath, Cheng Mingyue rushed over.
"Brother Litang, you are back. Where is the rabbit today?" His eyes looked around Cheng Mingli. When he didn't see any rabbit, he ran around and looked behind him. "Where is the rabbit? Brother Litang."
Cheng Mingli had a sullen face, "What kind of rabbit does my cousin want me to get?"
"You and your cousin are responsible for bringing game back every day. Where did you take the rabbit? Was it eaten by you?"
The other party looked like he was taking it for granted, and Cheng Mingli's eyes were filled with a bit of displeasure, "Who told you that my sister and I are responsible for the game every day?"
Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya saw their son sitting on the stone with a gloomy look on his face, which they had never seen before. Their son had studied since he was a child and upheld the principles of a gentleman and Confucianism. He is very good at managing his expression in front of outsiders, and he is relatively easy-going in front of family members.
"No one said anything! Isn't that the default!" Cheng Mingyue replied arrogantly, "You don't work every day, you only run out and bring back food. It's normal. If it weren't for the meat and fish you bring back every day, Come on, just run out if you think you guys will be fine."
The couple heard Cheng Mingyue's words as soon as they arrived. They felt particularly uncomfortable; what do you mean they don't work every day? Did you bring so much meat back to feed the dogs?
Chen Daya was angry and yelled, "Cheng Mingyue! What are you talking about? He is your cousin, not someone you can let around."
Cheng Mingyue's arrogant expression froze on her face. She turned around stiffly and saw Chen Daya furious, as if he could rush to the next life and tear her apart at any time.
"Brother and sister, what's wrong?" Feng Juhua followed the sound and came over.
Li Lianhua also saw the situation here and rushed there in a hurry; Cheng Yuandong, Cheng Yuannan, and Cheng Dazhu and his wife also looked puzzled.
Mingyi actually heard the whole thing. He had sharp ears and eyes, and could hear far away.
"Mom and dad, you came just in time." Chen Daya blushed angrily. Any son would feel disgusted if his son was wantonly instigated and criticized. "Cheng Mingyue, a cousin, actually humiliated Mingli; what can I say? It's normal for them to run out every day and bring back food. If it wasn't for the sake of meat, I wouldn't be able to tell you how a girl could be so shameless."
"Don't you know how dangerous it is for Ming Li and Ming Yi to run in the mountains every day? In order to catch some game, they never spent a day and a half out looking for it; when it came to Cheng Mingyue's mouth, it became a matter of course."
Mingyi came over and pulled her brother up, adding: "Grandpa, grandma, my brother and I didn't catch any prey today."
Cheng Dazhu also darkened his face. The smart people around him just shook their heads silently and looked down upon Cheng Mingyue's actions; those who didn't think fast enough just pointed at Cheng Mingyue, leaving Cheng Mingyue in the center of public opinion. middle.
"Boss, please bring your Yueyue back."
"Okay, Dad."
Li Lianhua stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Mingyue forcefully before leaving.
Cheng Mingyue was still unable to wake up from the criticism from everyone. She was full of grievances and resentment and refused to follow him.
Cheng Yuandong went up and slapped her on the back, "Go back, you will be embarrassed."
"Dad." Cheng Mingyue still refused to leave.
"Get back here quickly."
"I don't!" Cheng Mingyue said with a stick in the neck, "Which sentence I said is wrong? They don't work in the first place, they only know how to eat free rice; they should bring some meat back home, We are both the mother-in-law of the family, so why can she, Cheng Mingyi, not work, but I have to work with my mother and focus on family affairs?!"
"Pa~"
This slap hit her face, missing Cheng Mingyue's stubborn face.
"Take it back and beat it hard." Luo Cuihua became furious. No matter how much she loved her granddaughter, she couldn't bear to do it again and again. "Teach her the same as the children in the family. Mingli is the youngest male in the family, and Mingyi is the youngest. Girl, you should be a little more affectionate, and if you don’t work, you won’t work. There are so many people in the family, and two children are missing to work? As an elder sister, it’s okay if you don’t care for your sister, but you can’t find your sister. No."
"They are sensible and know how to go out to find food and catch game for the family to eat. I don't ask you to see the kindness of your brothers and sisters, but I ask you not to abuse others."
After a pause, Luo Cuihua looked at Cheng Yuandong and Li Lianhua, "It's getting more and more outrageous for you two to teach her well. If she doesn't learn well, tell her to shut up. In the future, give her more work to do at home." We cannot tolerate a daughter who sows dissension and is always thinking of picking on her younger siblings."
If you can't teach them back, in order to avoid causing trouble for the family, the best way is to teach them to be stupid.
"We understand, mother." Cheng Yuandong's eyebrows beat hard. This time, Li Lianhua didn't need to do anything. He stepped forward, covered Cheng Mingyue's mouth and dragged her away.
Li Lianhua apologized apologetically to Cheng Yuanxi and his wife, "The third brother and the third sister are so sorry. Yueyue is not sensible and can't do what he says."
"The eldest niece is so young, how could she say such a thing?" Chen Daya frowned, "Has she come into contact with Wuya again?"
Li Lianhua shook his head, "I didn't see her playing with Wuya. Maybe she heard something Wuya said before and her mind went wrong. Don't worry, the third brother and the younger sister, we will definitely bring her back this time and we won't let her." I’ll cause trouble for you again.”
"Sister-in-law, let's take care of it. They are all girls from the Cheng family." She began to worry that Yiyi would be dragged down.
"Sister-in-law understands."
Li Lianhua smiled gratefully, and when she turned around, her smile disappeared, and she strode back to the wooden shed; she saw that her husband had a straight face towards his daughter, and looked at Cheng Mingyue with a murderous look in his eyes. It was a kind of hatred that iron cannot become steel. Disappointment at not living up to expectations with her daughter.
