Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 921 - : Teaching the Son
Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Teaching the Son
Anger intensified in her heart, yet her grip on his ear lightened slightly as she began walking him out of the Taoist temple.
“Don’t even try it! What kind of rubbish are you, if others don’t know, do you think your mom doesn’t? When your butt pokes out, whether you need to shit or piss, do you think your mom doesn’t know?”
Liu Sisi too was driven to fury, and couldn’t help but let every curse in the book slip out of her mouth.
Sneaky and sly, with loud cries and little tears, seeing his mother truly enraged, he quickly turned his eyeballs and tore open his throat to start howling.
“Mom! Mom, Chou Chou dares not, Chou Chou really dares not anymore! If Chou Chou does it again, you can, you can… you can spank Chou Chou’s butt, okay!”
The moment he opened his mouth, that little bit of reason that Liu Sisi had left was instantly provoked.
“Oh, alright! You’re already thinking of doing it again, hm? You’ve got quite the guts! I’ll see if I don’t break your dog legs.”
As she spoke, she let go of his ear, ready to hit him.
How could Chou Chou, that little monkey, miss such an opportunity?
Almost the moment Liu Sisi relaxed her grip on his ear, he escaped swiftly like a darting bird.
“Mom! Mom, this is outside, and we’re in the busy Taoist temple. If you want to hit or scold me, you should wait until Chou Chou is home. Otherwise, it’s your old face that your son is losing.”
“Stop right there! So, you still care about face…”
Liu Sisi, enraged, acted as if she would chase after him, but was held back by Guihua and Di Ying, each taking one of her arms.
“Sisi, don’t be angry, the child is still young and bound to do some foolish things. When he’s older and can discern right from wrong, he will naturally improve. With all these pilgrims around, it wouldn’t be good if something were to spread.” Guihua quickly comforted her.

She thought about how angry she had been while searching for the children yesterday, yet she had kept it all secret, precisely for fear of starting unnecessary trouble if the news were to leak.
“Mom, please calm down, the little brother knows he’s wrong, don’t be angry anymore.”
Di Ying, holding Liu Sisi’s arm, glanced deliberately at the people who were looking their way.
Forget it! These things should be discussed behind closed doors with the family.
“Let’s go! We’ll sort you out slowly when we get back!”
Liu Sisi scowled, and naturally, no one dared object as they each climbed into the carriage. Niuniu and Gao Qi also did not receive any kindness, receiving a severe glare from Liu Sisi as they boarded, which frightened them into cowering in a corner, not daring to utter a single word.
Thankfully, Gao Qi was already eight and a half years old. Since boys and girls are traditionally separated after the age of seven, Gao Qi was arranged to ride in another carriage, feeling extremely relieved not to face Liu Sisi’s wrath directly anymore. Waiting until the carriage started moving and his mood gradually calmed down, he began to realize the situation he would face when he returned home, especially the thought of his father’s expression filled him with growing fear.
He wished time could flow backwards so that he had never left home to play with Chou Chou.
Meanwhile.
Since midnight yesterday, Liu Sisi had learned about Chou Chou’s whereabouts, but she hadn’t informed Di Yelei.
This led Di Yelei to keep searching relentlessly for the children until he heard that Liu Sisi had left the city for Qingfeng Temple before dawn, at which point he understood.
He could only give a wry smile, seeing that Sisi was truly angry!
However, at present, he had more pressing matters to attend to. Upon hearing that the children were safe, he immediately plunged into his own pile of troubles.
As soon as Liu Sisi and the others returned to the mansion, they immediately ordered someone to send Gao Qi back to Gao Mansion: “Da Niu, you personally make this trip. Remember, deliver Young Master Gao directly into Lord Gao’s hands before returning.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Qi’s face turned pale on the spot.
“Chou Chou…” His pleading gaze was fixed on Chou Chou.
Turning himself directly over to Dad meant there would be no good end, but he couldn’t control the situation unfolding before him.
Da Niu hurriedly knelt down, “Princess, rest assured, Da Niu will handle this matter properly.”
He was growing impatient; had it not been for Gao Qi’s instigation, why would such a young boy like the Young Master think of playing at running away from home? With a swell of frustration in his heart, he carefully considered what he would say upon reaching the Gao Mansion to achieve the desired outcome.
Chou Chou was in no position to save himself, let alone help Gao Qi; he could only watch helplessly as the other party was taken away by Da Niu.
Having no choice, he quickly followed Liu Sisi’s steps into the Marquis Mansion and knelt down before her without waiting for her to speak.
“Mom! This is all Chou Chou’s fault, it has nothing to do with Gao Qi! Punish me as you will, but please, send someone to bring Uncle Da Niu back; none of this has to do with Gao Qi…”
Liu Sisi’s gaze was heavy, “What? Your own matters are not yet settled, and you still fancy helping Gao Qi?”
“No, Mom, Chou Chou isn’t trying to make excuses for Gao Qi. It was all Chou Chou’s idea, I suggested running away from home, it has nothing to do with Gao Qi.” Chou Chou frantically explained.
“How is it unrelated to him? Explain.”
Confronted by Liu Sisi’s sharp eyes, Chou Chou quickly averted her gaze, “It was my idea to leave the mansion, and it was my decision to go to Qingfeng Temple…”
“Shut up! You still dare to lie!”
Liu Sisi was furious, “The carriage belongs to the Gao family, the coachman is the Gao family’s coachman, and you still dare to tell lies!”
“I, I…” Chou Chou was at a loss for words.
“You believe whatever others say, do you not have any conviction of your own? So easily swayed by others? And you!” Liu Sisi’s anger suddenly turned to the silent Niuniu beside her: “As the Second Sister, you are also at fault in this matter.”
This shocked Niuniu so much she fell to the ground with a thud, not daring to utter another half-word.
With a look of surprise, Chou Chou raised her head, “Ah? This really has nothing to do with Niuniu, she just happened to bump into us as we were leaving the mansion.”
“Silence! Do you really think she just happened by? Are things so coincidental?”
Liu Sisi stared with disappointment, “Kneel down! You want to protect Gao Qi, do you? Fine! Then kneel right here. When you have thought through the events, you may get up and speak.”
Having said that, without waiting for Chou Chou to react, she walked back to her small courtyard, leaving Chou Chou out in the courtyard.
On her way, she ran into Zuo Xingyu and Di Hongyuan, among others, who had come out upon hearing the news and enthusiastically greeted her, “Sisi, have the children come back too?”
Liu Sisi’s face was stern, and she did not speak, but went straight back to her room.
Guihua met Zhang Peng’s probing eyes and shook her head imperceptibly, “I’m going to check on Sisi.”
Guihua hadn’t expected that this mother and son were really at loggerheads.
Despite her long persuasions, Liu Sisi wouldn’t budge, and Chou Chou dared not rise from kneeling outside.
It wasn’t until dusk when Di Yelei returned that he spanked Chou Chou ten times on the palm and punished him to go to his room to recite the Standards for being a Good Pupil and Child fifty times, after also scolding Niuniu, he then returned to his room.
