Chapter 373: The Children Got Scolded

“I don’t want the flower anymore. Come down.”

The sister stood under the tree and said worriedly. She turned around and went to prepare a stool to find a way to bring the boy down.

However, the boy was still panicked and afraid. A chaotic commotion entered the house.

When the woman serving porridge heard the cries of the boy in the courtyard, her face darkened. Her aura was extremely fierce. She cursed ‘debt collectors’ and turned around to walk out of the house.

When the woman saw the panicked scene in the courtyard, she took a deep breath and stomped her feet. She rushed forward with a fierce expression and kicked the tree. She roared angrily:

“Damn it, you troublesome thing!”

The woman was furious. Her kick caused the entire peach tree to shake violently. The boy, who was already nervously clinging to the tree trunk with trembling legs, swayed even more and almost flew out.

The girl exclaimed.

The boy clung to the tree trunk tightly. His little hand was bleeding from the rough surface of the tree trunk, and he screamed in fear.

The woman’s face darkened. She stepped on the stool and stood up. She stretched out her arm and grabbed the boy tightly. She was tall enough as an adult.

The woman grabbed the boy’s thin waist, but she used an adult’s vicious strength to pull him down like an enemy.

The boy was still clinging onto the tree trunk tightly and did not dare to let go. With such a strong tug, the boy’s tender palm was ground until it was bloody…

However, the woman ignored him. After carrying the boy down from the tree, she even placed her hands on her hips and scolded him in the courtyard.

“You brat, I’m the only one at home who cares about the two of you. The two of you are still jumping up and down!”

“I care if you eat. I care if you drink. I even care if you take a dump. Don’t you know how to be less worrisome? You’re still causing trouble for me?!”

“That damned father of yours can’t be seen at home any day of the week. Only I am left to manage everything in the family. You guys still dare to cause trouble for me? You’re really here to collect debts!”

The neighbors in the alley could hear the woman’s scolding. Everyone shook their heads. That woman had been like this for the past two months. She scolded the children fiercely.

The neighbors understood that this woman’s surname was Miao. Let’s call her Sister-in-law Miao for the time being.

Sister-in-law Miao was a lazy woman, to begin with. She was usually lazy, so she cleaned up the house sloppily. Furthermore, she was greedy and selfish. She was also very shrewish.

Her husband seemed to be a Kind Doctor. He was the most praised Kind Doctor in Yuan City. Everyone praised him and even respected him.

However, Sister-in-law Miao was not proud of her husband being a Kind Doctor. Not only did she not feel that her husband being a Kind Doctor was a good deed, but she also despised her husband for being hired by the government. Although she had money every month, it was not enough compared to a large medical center. Furthermore, Kind Doctors were charitable. They accepted the children of the entire Yuan City and did much more than ordinary doctors.

Sister-in-law Miao mocked her husband for being kind all day long. His purse was always empty. He saved other people’s children and their families, but his own family was extremely poor and didn’t see any money.

This was because Kind Doctors came out to do charity on behalf of the officials. Their monthly salary was indeed lower than that of a restaurant owner. This was what Madam Miao despised.

Kind Doctors had earned a huge reputation, but when he returned home, there was only Madam Miao’s mockery and disdain. She also asked him for money every chance she got.
