A car accident, our family of three crossed

In just this morning, the news that Song Ning bought an old hen to make soup for her mother-in-law to nourish her body had quietly spread throughout the village.

The villagers all expressed their admiration for her filial piety, and her image as a good daughter-in-law was established.

After returning home, I cleaned the old hen, put it in the pot and stewed it for more than an hour.

After everything was packed up, the family of three went out to the ancestral hall.

When we arrived at the ancestral hall, the courtyard was already full of people. Everyone was counting the days, knowing that today was the day when Hangmu would be released from prison, and they all came to see the excitement.

When we entered the front yard of the ancestral hall, we found that the gate was closed and the men and women of the clan were waiting on both sides of the gate.

Song Ning and his son Hang Shuheng separated and joined the group of female relatives.

The scene was solemn and no one dared to speak. When people met, they just nodded to each other as a greeting.

Soon, the old clan leader and his aunt and uncle arrived, along with several clan elders.

Even though my aunt is the wife of the clan leader, she is still a woman after all. Unless there is a major event in the clan, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

My aunt came to the group of women, stood at the head, and waited for the old patriarch to speak.

"Since the establishment of the ancestral hall, our Hang family has maintained a clean and upright family tradition. No one in our family has ever been imprisoned for committing a crime. Who would have thought that a stupid woman would set a precedent? It's really abominable..."

"I asked everyone to come and watch today because I hope you will take this as a warning and not do anything stupid that would bring shame to the family."

After the old patriarch finished his powerful speech, the two men on night duty, with dark circles under their eyes, pushed open the heavy wooden door.

It was no wonder that they looked listless with dark circles under their eyes. It was because the guy inside had been so noisy during the past two nights that they had hardly slept and could only take a short rest after dawn.

They went in several times at night to check on the situation but found nothing unusual. However, the person inside was convinced that he had encountered an evil spirit or seen a ghost.

The door slowly opened, and the dim room was instantly filled with strong light, making it difficult for the people inside to adapt for a while.

Hang's mother was awakened by the sound of the door opening. She raised her hand to block the glaring light, and with the light behind her she saw someone walking in.

"Hang Zhang, I have punished you to reflect on your mistakes for three days. Do you know that you are wrong?"

She originally thought it was the person who delivered the food. When the other person spoke, she was stunned for a moment, then she used her hands and feet to crawl to the other person's feet. The speed was astonishing.

"Uncle... Uncle... You are here..." Hang's mother grabbed the old patriarch's clothes and started howling, saying incoherently: "Uncle, uncle, our ancestral hall is not clean, there are dirty things in it. If you don't come, I will die here..."

"Nonsense, complete nonsense." Upon hearing this, the old patriarch slammed his cane heavily on the floor and said angrily, "I see that you have not reflected on your actions at all. You dare to act crazy and speak shamelessly in the ancestral hall. Since you don't repent, then you can continue to stay here."

Hearing that she had to stay here, Mother Hang panicked instantly and begged for mercy: "No, no, no, uncle, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't let me stay here any longer."

She had nightmares every time she fell asleep in the past two days. The mental torture had worn her out and she had lost all her temper. Now, as long as she could stay away from the ancestral hall, she would be willing to do anything.

The old patriarch didn't really want to keep her locked up. If she continued to cause trouble like this, the ancestors in the ancestral hall would probably have even less peace if they were locked up for a few more days.

"This time I punish you to reflect on your actions in the ancestral hall. I hope you can remember this lesson. If you dare to do something wrong again in the future, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Yes, uncle, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say." Hang's mother nodded repeatedly, fearing that she would have to continue staying in the ancestral hall later.

The old patriarch gave her a symbolic lecture before letting Hang Shuheng help her up.

When they came out of the ancestral hall and stood in the sunlight, Song Ning looked up and couldn't help but be surprised.

It had only been three days, but Hang's mother seemed to have changed completely. It was not her appearance that had changed, but her whole spirit and energy that had changed.

It was as if a person had had his vitality sucked away, and his whole body was dull and lifeless. He was only in his early forties, but he looked like a dying old man in his forties.

Song Ning couldn't help but wonder what she had been going through in the past few days.

Although she was thinking about it in her mind, she did not hesitate at all in her actions. She quickly walked over and supported Hang's mother together with Hang Shuheng.

My aunt saw it and nodded secretly. What a good son and daughter-in-law. I really don't know what that woman is doing and what she is not satisfied with.

Taking this opportunity, the uncle and aunt naturally wanted to give Shuheng a good scolding: "Shuheng's mother, after three days of reflection, you should know what's right and wrong, right?"

"I hope you take care of yourself and stop messing around. You should know who is your relative. You can't listen to outsiders and harm your son and daughter-in-law. It's your blessing to have a filial son and daughter-in-law. Don't ruin this great blessing. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it."

It was rare for Mother Hang to listen to her aunt's lecture with her head down and ears attentively. If it were in the past, she would have retorted a few words in dissatisfaction.

However, at this moment, she was eager to leave this damn place as soon as possible and had no mind to think about anything else. Even when she left the yard and faced the people outside who were pointing and talking in groups of three or four, she did not pay much attention.

Hang's mother was eager to return home, and she had never felt the way home was so long as it did at this moment.

No matter how long the road is, it has an end. After walking what Hang's mother thought was a long journey, she finally entered her own home.

Song Ning cooked a bowl of chicken noodle soup and brought it into the house. Hang's mother gobbled it up in one gulp. She didn't even have time to taste the food before the whole bowl of noodles was gone.

Looking at this scene, Song Ning couldn't help but curl his lips. It was such a waste of this delicious bowl of noodles.

After filling her stomach, Hang's mother fell asleep immediately. Perhaps because she was back home, she felt at ease and slept for a whole day and night.

During this period, Song Ning was really worried that she might fall asleep like this. If it weren't for the loud snoring in the room, she would even want to go in and check her breathing.

Nothing happened that night until noon the next day, when Song Ning prepared lunch. Hang's mother woke up at the smell of the food. She had not even changed out of the sour and smelly clothes she had worn for several days.

Song Ning gently reminded: "Do you want to go wash and change clothes before eating?"

But she opened her voice and shouted, "What? Do you want to starve me to death?"

Song Ning pursed his lips and said nothing, complaining in his heart. After waking up from a good sleep, his fighting power was restored.

"So would you like to eat inside or..."

Song Ning really didn't want to dine with her, but before he could finish his words, he watched her sit down at the table and urged her to bring the food over quickly.

Helplessly, she could only resign herself to going to the kitchen to bring out the food.
