In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

"Mom, we were wrong!"

Wang You and Wang Liang didn't wait for Shen Qian to speak.

He knelt down in front of Shen Qian, and his voice became stammering due to fear.

Shen Qian shook her head slightly at this.

Standing in front of the two of them, looking down at them.

Only Shen Qian's extremely domineering voice rang in their ears:

"Do you remember what I said to you last time we had this scene?"

Faced with their mother's questions, the two of them recalled in panic the day when their mother picked up the knife.

The soul flew away in fear:

"Please forgive me, Mother. We will never do this again."

"Yes, mother! Wang You knows he was wrong. This was all done by Wang You. Brother Liang is the victim." Wang You finally regained some consciousness and took the blame for the mistake he made on himself to avoid implicating his brother Wang Liang.

Wang Liang was deeply moved by this.

Wang You seemed to be afraid that Shen Qian would not believe him, so he said to Qing Luan beside him:

"Is it...is it that only one person touched you."

"You can't lie to your mother about this!"

Facing Wang You's question, Qingluan also knelt down and nodded in response:

"Master, it is true that only one of the two young masters...touch[ed] this servant."

"Qingluan dare not hide anything."

I heard Qingluan speak.

Wang Liang felt relieved.

No matter how the outcome is handled, he is safe.

But...he also didn't want his brother to be kicked out of the house by his mother.

How could the two brothers, who were of one mind, abandon one and enjoy happiness alone at home?

So, although Wang Liang felt relieved, he still knelt on the ground and did not stand up.

Shen Qian looked at the two of them and said to Qingluan:

"There's nothing for you to do here."

"Step aside for a moment."

Hearing the master speak, Qingluan thanked him repeatedly.

He stepped aside and stood.

His gaze turned back and fixed on the fifth and sixth sons of his family. His sharp eyes were like two knives, scraping at the two men.

Wang You and Wang Liang quickly lowered their heads, enduring the strong pressure from their mother.

This aura was so strong that even the people watching on the side were shaking with fear.

Then Shen Qian asked again:

"I'm asking you, do you remember what I said in your ears the last time we were in this situation?"

Faced with his mother's questioning, Wang You, as the instigator, was so scared that he collapsed on the spot.

The brain shuts down.

If he hadn't been wearing thick clothes, the snow under his butt would probably have melted.

Wang Liang felt much better thanks to Qingluan and Wang You's explanation. Although he was frightened by his mother's shout, he quickly reacted.

He said bravely:

"My mother seems to have said: We are not wrong to do this, we are just afraid."

After receiving the response, Wang You regained his composure and nodded repeatedly in agreement:

"Yes, yes, mother is saying that we are not wrong, but we are afraid."

“I’m scared…”

As he spoke, Wang You had a clear understanding of his current situation.

Really, I'm scared!

The scene of his mother holding a machete that day resurfaced in his mind. The fear of facing death made him feel deep regret.

He bowed forward with his hands clasped before him, not daring to speak another word.

Seeing this, Shen Qian sneered:

"Last time, you just knew you were afraid."

"Then why do you still want to do such 'disgraceful' things?"

"Are you sure that the knife I, Mother, have hung over your heads has fallen, and I dare not do anything to you anymore?"

"Really?" Shen Qian finished speaking, and seeing that both of them kept their heads down and remained silent, she suddenly raised her voice several times and shouted loudly.

Some members of the Wang family in Wangjia Village who were holding bowls and chopsticks were so frightened that they threw them away.

Everyone was terrified.

I thought to myself: We were just having a meal, why are we affected?

"No, no." Wang Liang coughed twice, obviously choking on the saliva he was swallowing nervously.

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Wang You also came back to his senses at this moment and defended himself:

"Mother, I was temporarily bewitched by a ghost."

"Please, mother, give me one last chance to mend my ways."

"I really know I'm wrong, not afraid."

This sincere attitude moved the Wangjia Village members who were watching from the side.

Wang Dakuo was standing aside. Seeing this, he stepped forward and gently pulled Shen Qian's sleeve, saying in a low voice:

"Disciplining the child is enough."

"You have seven children in your family. If you keep going on like this, there will only be two left."

"We must leave descendants for the Wang family."

Hearing about Wang Dakuo's size, Shen Qian clenched her fists.

Clan concepts are still deeply rooted in society today. Now that the village chief Wang Dakuo has asked for mercy, there is absolutely no way for him to sever ties with these two selfish bad guys today.

If you want to cut off ties with them, you have to treat them well.

What's more, this time only Wang You made a mistake, and it was inappropriate for Wang Liang to be punished and expelled from the house together.

After all, the two brothers are of one mind, and if one is driven out, the other one who is left will definitely help.

It would be better to let both of them be punished and suffer together.

Don’t you want to live a good life?

Then go and train with the soldiers.

Thinking of this, Shen Qian's eyes suddenly became clear.

Not only can you get rid of these two selfish guys, but you can also make them suffer and change their existing favorable conditions.

Wang Liang saw the village elder Uncle Daku approaching his mother and saying something, and he immediately understood.

After Uncle Dakuo walked away, he immediately bowed down and pleaded with Shen Qian:

"Mother, it was really just an unintentional mistake."

"Please forgive me, my brother, just once. If you do it again, it won't be too late to kick you out of the house!"

Hearing Wang Liang cutting off his own retreat, Shen Qian was secretly happy.

But he couldn't show it on his face.

You still have to make it look good.

"An unintentional mistake? What an unintentional mistake!" Shen Qian shouted in a stern voice.

Full of majesty.

"That was secretly touching someone's buttocks, how could it be unintentional? If it was unintentional, how did he touch it outside the carriage when he was in the carriage?" Shen Qian asked two questions, which made Wang Liang speechless in an instant.

Wang You even wanted to die.

My mother even brought it up in detail, saying that I would never have the face to stay in the village again after this.

I secretly complained to Wang Liang in my heart: Why are you bringing up things that are not relevant?

But he knew that Wang Liang had good intentions and wanted to plead for him.

"If you have bad behavior, then correct it." Shen Qian pondered for a moment and shouted at the two of them:

"Wang Liang was also at fault for shielding Wang You from misconduct, and he shall be punished accordingly."

"Are you dissatisfied?"

In response to his mother's question, beads of sweat the size of beans immediately slid down Wang Liang's forehead.

I finally picked and washed them clean, but my mother actually wanted me to be punished together with my brother?

But...asking in this situation isn't really asking for your own opinion.

It's clearly asking me to express my opinion directly.

"I'm not dissatisfied. I was wrong and I'm willing to be punished together with my brother," Wang Liang said.

Wang You listened and was deeply moved.

He is indeed a good brother to his compatriots.

At this time, he is still willing to be punished with me.

Because he had already anticipated that his mother's punishment would definitely be very severe.

As expected, after Wang Liang agreed, Shen Qian shouted at the two of them again:

"Then I order you two to enter the recruit camp and train with the new recruits. You will eat, sleep, and live with them. You will not receive any special treatment."

"Correct your conduct."

"If you don't correct your behavior when you reach the southern border, you will be treated like the fourth brother and will be separated from the family and live on your own."
