I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 734 - Chapter 734 Disciplining

Chapter 734: Disciplining Chapter 734: Disciplining Editor: Atlas Studios Kejia and Bosi knelt on the ground with red eyes and did not move.

Mu Yangling looked at them gloomily for a while and said, “Go back and kneel in front of Mother.

As for Little Bear, even if he’s only your nephew, it doesn’t change the fact that you were in the wrong.

When you see him tomorrow, you have to apologize to him.

When Father comes to the capital, I’ll talk to him about disciplining you two.” Although Kejia and Bosi were a little indignant, they did not dare to say anything.

When Shu Wanniang found out what the two children had done, she was so angry that she hit them for the first time.

Her eyes were red as she said, “How did you become like this?

How did you become like this?

It’s my fault, it’s all my faultaEUR|” As she was not in good health, whenever Shu Wanniang suffered an agitation, her chest would feel stuffy.

However, when Kejia and Bosi saw that their mother looked unwell, they quickly rushed forward to support her and cried, “Mother, don’t be angry.

It’s our fault.

We won’t dare to do it again in the future.

Don’t be angryaEUR|” Shu Wanniang pushed their hands away and gritted her teeth.

With reddened eyes, she said, “Get out and kneel down.

Get out!” The two children knelt outside with red eyes.

This caused quite a commotion, but Fan Zijin and Little Madam Xia pretended not to know.

However, Qi Haoran said to Mu Yangling, “Your younger siblings are still young.

You can teach them slowly even if they did something wrong.

Why get so mad?” Mu Yangling rolled her eyes and said, “You say that they’re still young.

But if Little Bear dares to do this, will you beat him up or not?” Mu Yangling snorted.

“They should be glad that I’m married now and I can’t interfere too much in my maiden family’s matters.

Otherwise, I’ll definitely throw them into the mountains and reform them.” Her son could be a good-for-nothing in the future, but he must have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

At this moment, Shu Wanniang was lying on the bed and looking at the bed curtain above her head.

She rarely paid attention to the children’s education.

Only now did she realize that she had neglected the twins.

Be it Ah Ling or Bowen, they were both obedient and sensible.

Bosi and Kejia were also adorable when they were younger and extremely sensible.

Before today, she only felt that the two children were a little spoiled and willful.

But considering they had been pampered since they were young, she did not think that this was a big issue.

She felt that it was fine for them to be a bit fussy as long as they had sound morals.

It had never occurred to her that her children could fail to distinguish between right and wrong.

How could that possibly be?

After all, Ah Ling and Bowen did not need anyone to teach them with regards to that.

Recalling how she’d played the role of a mother, Shu Wanniang realized that she was a failure.

She rarely paid attention to this aspect.

Ah Ling followed Mu Shi everywhere she went, so there was Mu Shi to guide her.

As such, Shu Wanniang only needed to teach her how to cook and some skills that women were expected to know.

As for Bowen, not only was Mu Shi there to teach him step by step, but Ah Ling also helped to guide him.

There was almost no need for her to worry.

However, at the thought of Bosi and Kejia, Shu Wanniang’s heart skipped a beat and she could no longer lie down.

She put on her clothes and got up to go out.

The two children were still gritting their teeth and kneeling at the door.

As it was already past the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was extremely chilly at night.

Even with a layer of outer clothing draped over her, Shu Wanniang felt cold.

She pulled the two children up and dragged them into the house.

Then, she instructed the servants to make ginger tea for them to drink.

After they drank it, she pushed the two children onto the bed.

The two of them were a little shy and stood there unwilling to move.

Ever since they turned seven, they had rarely slept together.

Lying in the middle, Shu Wanniang said, “Come, talk to me.” Kejia and Bosi lay on either side of her.

However, Kejia hugged her mother and pouted.

“Mother, Second Brother and I really know our mistake.

Don’t be angry.” “Then tell me, what did you do wrong?” “We shouldn’t have pried open your box without asking you first, let alone instruct Little Bear to do that,” Kejia concluded.

Bosi nodded repeatedly.

Although they were arrogant and willful, it wasn’t that they wouldn’t heed others’ words.

Although they felt indignant at first, they knew that what their oldest sister said was right.

However, Shu Wanniang sighed and said, “I’m afraid you still can’t understand why your oldest sister was so furiousaEUR|” Shu Wanniang knew that it was useless no matter how much she said.

The two children had never suffered before, so they wouldn’t be able to experience that feeling.

She could only tell them the things that happened to Mu Yangling and Bowen when they were young.

She told them about how Mu Yangling had to enter the mountains to hunt before dawn, how she carried the prey down from the mountains and sent it to town to sell, in order to exchange for fine rice for themaEUR| Sometimes, even late at night in winter, Mu Yangling had to follow Mu Shi into the mountains.

Bosi and Kejia widened their eyes and only treated these as stories.

Shu Wanniang smiled bitterly in her heart.

However, since she had already made up her mind, she would not back down anymore.

She only explained in more detail how Mu Yangling used to hunt in the mountains and take care of the family, back when they lived in the poor countryside.

She even went into detail about how she’d found a butcher in town to sell the prey to, as well as how she’d exchanged the prey for grains with the farmersaEUR| Kejia and Bosi listened with relish.

Although they felt that their mother went into a tad too much detail, they didn’t mind it that much when it occurred to them that those events happened to their oldest sister.

Their mother rarely mentioned the past.

Although they had been punished this time, this was somewhat a benefit.

The two of them remained in a good mood until the next morning.

When the entire family ate together, only the food in front of the twins was different.

It was all coarse grain, but there was also meat and vegetables to make it nutritionally-balanced.

The two of them looked at Mu Yangling in a daze.

Mu Yangling said, “In the past, you were young and in poor health, so Father and I have always raised you two exquisitely.

But as a result, you’re overly-pampered and have no idea of pain and suffering.

In that case, from today onwards, you’ll eat the food I ate back then.

Don’t worry, although I didn’t eat as exquisitely as you do, it’s already much better than ordinary families.” Having just heard their sister’s heroic stories last night, the twins’ admiration for her was like a surging river.

Coupled with yesterday’s deterrence, the two of them respected and feared her.

They glanced at their mother and saw that she was eating porridge with her head lowered, so they did not dare to beg for mercy.

They obediently picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into their mouths.

Although the taste could not compare to fine grains, it was still not bad.

The twins actually felt good.

However, after only a day, the two of them felt that if they could turn back time, they would definitely take back their thoughts from that morning.

If the coarse-grained steamed buns were tolerable, the rice cooked from coarse grains was too different from fine rice.

The texture was extremely hard, and there was only a faint fragrance of rice.

They had never eaten rice that was so difficult to swallow.

Just as the two of them were about to beg for mercy, they looked up and saw Mu Yangling’s half-smiling eyes.

Both of them refused to admit defeat, so they swallowed their words and gritted their teeth.

Mu Yangling turned around and instructed Spring, “Take it step by step.

In two days, lower their grain and noodles by another grade.

In half a month, I want them to eat rice mixed with chaff without batting an eyelid.” Spring hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, I saw Second Young Master and Second Miss bring a plate of snacks from the kitchen in the afternoonaEUR|” Mu Yangling smiled.

“Don’t worry, they won’t have such an opportunity again.” Hence, Bosi and Kejia realized that they were so poor that they could not even find anything to pawn.

All the silver on them had been temporarily confiscated, and even their clothes and accessories had been put away and locked in the storeroom.

There was only one set of clothes for them to change into.

If they pawned it, they would have nothing to wear.

Mu Yangling didn’t block all their escape routes.

She said, “If you don’t have money, you can earn it.

In the past, when our family fled to Xingzhou Prefecture, we even borrowed grain to eat, let alone money.

In the end, Father and I managed to earn a tidy sum in two years.

At that time, I was only nine years old, a few months younger than you are now.” The two children gritted their teeth and endured it.

Bowen was talented at a young age and Mu Yangling was so impressive.

They felt that since they were all born from the same parents,they would not be too far off.
