Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Looking for a Crooked-Neck Tree to Hang Myself

This ungrateful little girl, just for the sake of playing, actually says that her mother is bad?

Yi Meng was almost furious and her face immediately darkened, “Qi Manman, what did you say?”

Qi Manman shrank her neck but still puffed her face, “Mother won’t let big brother play with Manbao!”

“What about what you said afterward?”

Yi Meng asked.

Qi Manman’s eyes rolled, then she snorted, turned her head, riding on Qi Dalang’s neck, hugging his head, and refused to look at her mother.

This appearance made Yi Meng even angrier, and she said directly to Qi Dalang, “Dalang, put her down!”

“Auntie Four, little sister is young and doesn’t know any better. Please calm down and don’t hold it against her.”

Qi Dalang saw that Auntie Four was really angry and didn’t dare to actually put his little sister down.

If Auntie Four really wanted to spank his little sister, his big brother’s heart would ache like dumpling stuffing!

At this moment, others also gathered around.

Seeing that Yi Meng’s face was not good, they all spoke to comfort her.

“Meng Niang, the child is still young. It’s normal for her to be playful and not understand things. Don’t be angry.”

“Yes, Meng Niang, Manbao is such a good girl. She hasn’t been causing trouble for so long. Today, she just couldn’t hold it in. Don’t hold this against her.”

“Meng Niang, sister, come on, let’s talk over there. Ignore these little monkeys.”

Some tried to persuade her, while others linked arms with Yi Meng to walk her away.

Yi Meng didn’t plan to let it go so easily, “Don’t stop me, everyone. This child is spoiled and has developed bad habits. She must be properly taught today!”

“It’s one thing if nothing’s going on, letting her have her antics. But with everything that’s happening, everyone is so tired that they would fall asleep on the ground. And she’s still making Dalang take her around to run wild!”

“If she doesn’t learn, she’ll cause big trouble in the future!”

When it came to educating children, Yi Meng was very insistent.

Raising boys roughly is one thing as long as it’s not excessive.

But Manbao is a girl. If she’s not carefully managed, she could get into trouble and tarnish her reputation, which is a big deal in this era.

The women holding Yi Meng weren’t paying attention and almost let Yi Meng break free, so they quickly tightened their grip.

Everyone continued coaxing.

Qi Manman also didn’t expect her mother to be so angry and was so scared that she didn’t dare to throw a tantrum, shrinking and holding onto her big brother’s head.

Qi Dalang noticed the little girl’s reaction and felt even more sorry for her. He lightly patted her arm, “Manbao, be good. Your mother is doing it for your own good. She’s not really angry with you.”

“Fourth daughter-in-law, you go over and cool down first, let me talk to Manbao.”

Mrs. Qi had just come back from the restroom and saw the commotion, surprisingly finding it was related to her precious granddaughter and hurriedly squeezed in.

Yi Meng wanted to give her mother-in-law this face, but she didn’t want to give in on the child’s education.

“Mother, don’t stop me, Manbao is really too mischievous today and must be taught a lesson!”

Yi Meng was really angered.

Mrs. Qi sternly said, “What? This old lady is useless, can’t manage your affairs, right?”

After saying this, Mrs. Qi turned around, acting like she was going to leave, “Fine, fine, I won’t care about it. It’s not like anyone wants an old bag of bones like me around. I’ll go find a crooked neck tree in the woods to hang myself!”

“Mother, please don’t…”

The sons of the Qi family hurried to persuade the old lady.

Seeing this, Yi Meng’s anger dissipated immediately.

Although her mother-in-law wasn’t her biological mother, she was genuinely good to her.

Yi Meng sighed and made a concession, “Mother, don’t say that, I didn’t mean you can’t manage. It’s just about Manbao…”

“What’s wrong with Manbao? Even if Manbao made mistakes, she’s our precious treasure! Besides, did she kill someone or set fire? Why must you hold on so tightly?”

“Everyone, don’t you know that Manbao is this old lady’s heart and soul, and you insist on harassing us, is it because you can’t stand this old lady?”

As she spoke, Mrs. Qi’s eyes reddened.

Wiping her tears with her sleeve, Mrs. Qi choked up, “A four-year-old child, what kind of mistake can make you insist on disciplining her?”

“Besides, Manbao isn’t some naughty boy who doesn’t understand. Can’t you talk it out with her properly?”

Mrs. Qi cried, and she looked so heartbroken.

Yi Meng’s anger completely dissipated, and she could only apologize, “Mother, I’m sorry, I was too impatient. I’ll talk to Manbao properly, please stop crying.”

“Talk my ass!”

Mrs. Qi glared, “Today I want to see who dares to talk to my Manbao! If you have any issues, come at this old lady! Worst case, I’ll take my Manbao to the woods and live there! Whether we starve or freeze to death then, it has nothing to do with any of you!”

With that, Mrs. Qi rushed towards Qi Dalang, without a word, directly hugged Qi Manman and headed towards the woods.

This stirred everyone to scramble to stop her.

Yi Meng was dumbfounded by this scene.

Though her mother-in-law had a hard mouth, she was a reasonable person. How could she just leave?

Yi Meng was at a loss, “Mother, I won’t say anything, I won’t. Please don’t leave; if you do this, I can’t stay either. Let’s go look for a crooked neck tree to hang together!”

When dealing with unreasonable situations, sometimes you have to use unreasonable methods to solve them.

Sure enough, Mrs. Qi stopped at these words and glared at Yi Meng, “If you want to go to the woods, go yourself. I’m not going with my Manbao!”

Mrs. Qi held Qi Manman and headed towards the fire pit, gently bouncing her precious granddaughter in her arms and softly coaxing.

In her grandmother’s arms, Qi Manman’s tears finally uncontrollably flowed and she softly called out ’Grandma’.

Each call made Mrs. Qi’s heart almost break.

“Good girl, don’t cry, Grandma is here, no one can bully you.”

The sound of the old lady soothing her granddaughter faded as the distance increased, and Yi Meng’s tears also fell.

This is such a mess. She didn’t even do anything wrong; how did she end up being a bad mother and despised by her mother-in-law?

“Everyone disperse! Go about your business.”

Qi Quanjin held his wife’s shoulder, waved at everyone, and then led his wife away in another direction.

Once they were a bit away, Qi Quanjin then advised, “Wife, don’t be mad at Mother. She has always treated you like her own daughter. What she said was just out of anger.”
