Chapter 94: Now You Know Fear.

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Now You Know Fear.

At dusk, Mingyang and Mingliang had already heard from people in the village who saw their parents that they had returned from the hospital. Grandpa Guai had picked them up and probably knew about what they had done. The two hesitated and dared not go home.

Ming Fang, walking ahead, soon realized she was alone. She turned around and saw her two brothers standing not far behind her, their heads bowed. Seeing them like this made her feel stifled.

"What are you afraid of now? You had such courage last night, daring to go to Grandpa’s house and smash his pots. Grandma Juying said one pot costs three to four bucks. It was you who smashed them. It’ll be the parents who have to pay for it. Hmph, you smashed them, and even got caught. If Grandpa hadn’t protected you, Fourth Uncle would’ve beaten you to death."

Lu Mingliang, hearing this, immediately grew unhappy. He scowled fiercely, "He dares to kill me? He relies on dad’s job, you know. If dad and mom find out, he won’t escape punishment."

Lu Mingyang, though he didn’t speak, felt the same.

"Why are you just standing there? Let’s go home!"

The brothers paused simultaneously, feeling very guilty. They heard their mother was back and were extremely worried, wanting to see how she was now, whether she was doing better. But they were timid, Fourth Uncle, although having forgiven them on Grandpa’s word, had given them a look that made them scared.

"Ming Fang, how about you go back first and check the situation. If dad and mom aren’t mad, we’ll come home. Mom was so sick yesterday, if she gets upset because of us, she’ll feel even worse."

"Now you’re scared, huh? What did mom tell you yesterday, big brother? Have you forgotten? I don’t even need to check; I’m sure mom is mad." Ming Fang said, feeling uneasy, after all, her two brothers had acted out after seeing her being bullied. It was a time for sibling unity.

"Big brother, second brother, let’s go back together. Mom was just saying stuff, she’s soft-hearted. She won’t abandon us, she won’t stay angry with us. She even told Grandma Juying, to pack us sweet sandwiches for school because she was worried we’d be hungry."

Ming Fang’s words eased the tense emotions of Mingyang and Mingliang. Indeed, mom was very tender-hearted.

"So..."

"So we go back?"

The two boys spoke as if gaining some courage, and quickly walked to join Ming Fang. As the three approached the front door of their home, they hesitated for a moment, peeked through the crack of the door for a long while, seeing nothing and not even smelling the aroma of food.

Ming Fang’s heart clenched, and without paying attention to her brothers, she pushed the door open and rushed inside anxiously.

"Mom, are you home? What’s wrong?"

Mingyang and Mingliang also ran inside. Just when the three children anxiously rushed into the hall, the room suddenly lit up, and they saw their dad, who had just returned a day before, standing right in the middle of the hall, glaring sharply at them.

Most importantly, he was holding a belt in his hand, and next to him was the woman leisurely sipping tea while holding Ming Kai — their mom, whom they were extremely worried about.

Lu Mingyang: "..."

Lu Mingliang: "...."

Lu Mingfang: "...."

The three children glanced around and even sneaked a look at the slightly ajar courtyard gate.

"Don’t look anymore, it was not easy waiting for you all, I can’t let you run away today. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you’ll still have to endure this beating, hahaha, unbelievable, I didn’t know our family’s two boys were so daring, daring to twirl their Aunt’s hair and even hang your grandpa’s stuff on the tree branches, you’re so capable, why don’t you just ascend to heaven instead?"

The more Shen Meng spoke, the angrier she became, wishing she could personally grab a belt and give the two troublesome kids a good lashing. But with such a thick belt, if it really hit the children, she wouldn’t bear to do it, she had to steel her heart, if she wasn’t strict now, it would be easy for them to make mistakes once they entered society.

"Last night, I told you everything I needed to say, yet you still disobeyed, it seems like you don’t have me, your mother, in your hearts at all. Since that’s the case, from now on you can do whatever you want!"

Shen Meng let Lu Mingkai, who was sitting on her lap fiddling with his fingers and not daring to speak, down from her lap and walked slowly towards the east room with a pained expression on her face.

Now Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang started to panic; although they feared getting beaten, what could be more heartbreaking than their mother ignoring them?

"Mom, mom I was wrong, I’ll obey, please don’t abandon us!"

"I was wrong, I really was, I shouldn’t have angered you, mom don’t go, I’ll listen to you from now on, really."

Just as the two children were about to run towards Shen Meng, Lu Zhenping stepped in front of them.

"Stand still, your mother is not yet well, don’t annoy her further, just stay put."

Despite Lu Zhenping’s words causing Mingyang and Mingliang to halt their steps, they glanced at him, and then at the belt in his hand, and reluctantly lowered their heads.

"Dad, just hit us, as long as mom can forgive us, even if it kills us it’s okay."

Mingyang was ready to face the consequences, even propping his arms on his thighs, sticking his buttocks out high. Mingliang, following his brother’s example, also got ready for the beating, his small face looking towards his brother. He was actually very afraid; since they were very young, they were often beaten. After moving to the Lu Family, they had a couple of good days initially but it slowly turned bad, especially after their mother entered the house, it got even worse. Now, their mother finally started caring about them.

Even if they didn’t feel they were wrong, they wanted to accept the punishment hoping their mother would love and care for them as before.

Lu Zhenping: "...."

He had never expected such a situation; these two rascals weren’t only unafraid but also accepted the situation very quickly, he didn’t even know how to start.

"Dad, don’t hit my brother, don’t hit him, wu wu wu.... they did it for mom, for me, it’s grandpa and Fourth Aunt who bullied people, they caused mom to get hospitalized, and me too, dad look at my scalp, a big patch of hair is gone, it hurts so much, my brother went to cause trouble at grandpa’s house and was already beaten by Fourth Uncle, really, dad look at my brother’s buttocks, they’re bruised and purple."

Hearing this, Lu Zhenping frowned, put down the belt on the table, grabbed Lu Mingliang, pulled down his trousers, the white buttocks crisscrossed with purple bruises looked very fearsome under the dim light.

Shen Meng, who was listening through the door crack, stood up straight, furious, how could it be so severe, wasn’t it said it was just a lesson, and not severely done?
