Chapter 12: What did you just say?

  Alas, it seems this rule is indeed an old family rule of the Chu household.

  With Chu Yan Nian's support, Gui Hua's heart finally felt a little more at ease.

  In Chu Lishou's home, Chu Lishou was naturally the pillar of the family, but this pillar was for outsiders to see. In fact, in Chu Lishou's home, the one who really took charge was Mo Shi.

  The Chu family has not yet divided up the estate, and Mo's main task is only to take charge of the daily needs of these few people in the household.

  However, according to the observation of Osmanthus fragrans for a month, it was found that Chu Lishou and Mo Shi were particularly concerned about their eldest son, Chu Yannian, fearing that he would have any difficulties.

  Fortunately, Chu Yan Nian was a clever and sensible child, so once something happened, Chu Li Shou and Mo Shi also habitually discussed it with their eldest son.

  Osmanthus is now extremely grateful for having such equal parents, at least now got the support of Chu Yan Nian, so the work on the parents' side will be easier.

  The sun gradually set to the west, and the hottest part of the day had passed in the conversation between the brother and sister. When the weather was no longer so hot, the villagers also came out one after another, some visiting each other's homes, while others went to work in the fields.

  As soon as he came out, he naturally saw the two kneeling on the riverbank, Chu's brother and sister, so Xiquhe Village had another gossip.

  "Hey, you know, Lao Zhang's family, the two kids from Chu's family are kneeling by the river! Don't know what they did wrong."

  "Looked at it, looked at it. Alas, I'm afraid that old witch has come up with some new trick again."

  "Right! And that old woman is also to blame. What's the matter with her, can't she speak properly? On such a hot day, making the child kneel there, what if he gets heatstroke?"

  ……

  The village's young wives and mothers gathered together in threes and fives, discussing nothing but the punishment of Brother and Sister being forced to kneel.

  Lu Shi is the second daughter-in-law of the old Chu family, the one who likes to eat and be lazy.

  When it comes to getting her to do work, she is absolutely one of a kind lazy. But if it's gossiping or something like that, her diligence can't even be compared to Mo's diligent work ethic.

  Soon, the news of Guihua siblings being forced to kneel and various versions of reasons why they were forced to kneel all fell into her hands.

  "I said, when I got home, you know what big thing happened in our village today?"

  Lu Shi wandered around in a big circle and finally saw Chu Lishi taking a nap under a large tree.

  "What's wrong? Are you itching again? Can't you see I'm sleeping? Get out, get out, go as far as you can!" Chu Lishi's attitude was quite rude.

  In the Chu family, because Eldest Brother Chu Lixian left many years ago, Chu Lishi was simply treated as another eldest son, spoiled by Chu Zhenghai and Madam Xu, allowing him to become a crafty and cunning person.

  However, after marrying his wife and having a son, Chu Zhenghai and Xu Shi's attention was diverted, so this guy slightly restrained himself. But when it came to Lu Shi, he had no patience at all, and if things didn't go smoothly, Lu Shi would definitely be beaten.

  As soon as Chu Lixi spoke, Lu Shi's whole body trembled, but still twisted her plump body, relying on her courage to move forward and whispered: "This matter is related to the eldest son of Old Three's family and Guihua."

  "What?" As soon as he heard this, Chu Li immediately opened his eyes and asked: "What did you just say?"
