When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Chapter 381: Teaching Children in the Ancestral Hall

Mi Lao Er was furious, and blurted out the following accusation:

"Who dares to put me on the ground to sleep?"

Mrs. Mi said sternly, “Who are you calling me Laozi in front of?!”

Mi Lao Er turned over and knelt down. This was purely a conditioned reflex.

This is strange, isn’t he sleeping in Mei Niang’s bed?

Of course, none of this is important at the moment. What’s important is how to get through this difficult time for me.

He could tell from the old lady's voice that she was very angry today.

Thinking back, I haven't been home for many days. It's because I can't get away from Mei Niang!

Mrs. Mi felt chilled when she saw her second son kneeling so skillfully. She blamed them as parents for spoiling their children too much since they were young, which led to them being treated like tough meat now.

In the past, it was always because these children were all biological children and the family conditions were very good. At that time, the old lady of the Mi family was still alive, so no one cared too much about the children being spoiled!

By the time the couple wanted to control their children, the children had already had their own ideas and would run away at any time, making it impossible to control them.

The eldest son is more obedient than the second and third sons, and is willing to study hard because he knows that he can only be the pillar of the Mi family.

Both of his younger brothers are playful. If he doesn't grow up to be a good person, there will be no hope for the Mi family.

Mrs. Mi looked at her second son who was still trying to get away with it, and the anger in her chest finally found an outlet.

In the past, they as parents had to handle all the problems at home and would hide anything from their children as they did not want them to worry about it.

However, seeing how they were just eating and waiting to die, Mrs. Mi suddenly realized that if they were to die, they should die knowingly.

They seem to be protecting children, but in fact they are depriving them of their right to know.

What if... What if one day, the Mi family really can't bear it anymore, will the children still blame me for hiding the truth from them?

Mrs. Mi stood up and looked down at her second son. She sneered:

"Master Mi, if I hadn't carried you back, would you not have planned to go home?"

Mi Lao Er smiled and said, "Mom, how can that be possible! I was planning to come back tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Mi understood and said, "Oh! Did you spend all your money?"

Mi Lao Er: After all, she is my mother, and I always guessed it right! !

But he didn't dare to admit it, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Mi Lao Er knelt down and smiled at his mother:

"Hehe! Mom, I miss you and my sister, not... not because I have no money to spend."

He himself didn't have the confidence to say this.

Mrs. Mi stared at her second son coldly, and Mi Laoer shrank back when he met his mother's gaze.

Oh! My mother's eyes are so fierce!

Mrs. Mi said calmly, "Second brother, do you know what happened in our family today?"

Mi Laoer shook his head honestly. How would he know if he was not at home?

Mrs. Mi: "Today, the Yang family allowed a group of hooligans to openly make trouble at our door. The reputation of our Mi family has been trampled on the ground and into the dust.

Haha! Your third brother almost had his legs broken by someone, if not for…" Mrs. Mi glanced at Kaiyang, "If it weren't for the help of a noble person, your third brother might have become a cripple in the future."

She smiled miserably and asked, "My dear son, where were you at that time?"

Mi Lao Er looked up suddenly in astonishment, and seeing that his mother didn't look like she was lying to him, he felt a little scared.

How is this possible?

The Yang family? How dare they...

Mrs. Mi said angrily, "You spend all your time chasing after women, but do you know what the situation is like at home? How many people in Chuzhou are waiting to see our Mi family make a fool of themselves!"

You guys are still giving them handles all the time. You and the third brother used to mess around and the Mi family protected you. If our Mi family is really destroyed by them, who will protect you?"

Mi Lao Er's face turned pale, frightened by these words. He didn't know why so many enemies suddenly appeared in his home. When did this happen?

What happened? Why did the situation suddenly change?

Mrs. Mi was speechless for a while, then she gathered her strength and continued to beat her son:

"Second brother, the Mi family can't protect you for much longer. They are going to take action. Today... is a signal. Have you ever thought about what you would do if the Mi family is gone in the future?"

Mi Laoer's lips were trembling. Before going to bed, he was still confident that he would protect Mei Niang!

Now his mother told him that the Mi family can no longer protect him!

This... He had never thought about what would happen to him in the future if the Mi family was gone. He had never thought about it.

Mrs. Mi looked at her panicked second son, without any mercy, and continued:

"Mom, I'm not exaggerating. Several big families in Chuzhou have secretly taken action a long time ago. They deliberately found fault in the business, and the lawsuit has been going on for more than a year.

We spent more than 10,000 taels of silver, and there was not even a splash. We can’t win this lawsuit!”

Mrs. Mi had already predicted the result.

I just don’t know if she said this to educate her son, or if she really decided that her family would lose the lawsuit.

Mrs. Mi said helplessly: "It's because our Mi family has no one behind us! I thought that even if we lost the lawsuit, the worst that could happen is that we would just have to pay some money and be done with it.

Now it seems that they are here to take over our business.

Second brother, what do you think our family should do next to get through this difficult time? "

Mi Lao Er stammered in panic:

"I don't... I don't know, mother. It won't come to that, right?" He felt like he couldn't kneel anymore. His legs were shaking so badly, his knees were weak, and his body was shaky.

Mrs. Mi ignored her second son's strange behavior and said coldly:

"Don't know? Then all of us should wash our necks and wait for someone to wipe them?"

Mi Laoer didn't dare to meet his mother's eyes. When he dodged his gaze, he saw Kaiyang. He was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his head.

This boy saw the embarrassing situation of his family, and this poor boy whom he looked down upon also saw him being so helpless.

He hated Kaiyang even more.

Damn it, why did she bring this kid to the ancestral hall?

Mrs. Mi guessed what he was thinking when she saw his attitude towards Kaiyang, and laughed at him:

"The crisis of our family today was solved by Kaiyang, whom you look down upon. Relying on you?! I'm afraid that the Mi family can't hold on today, and you still have the nerve to look down on him!

Kaiyang at least has martial arts skills, but you! What can you do to help our family? What else can you do besides eating, drinking and having fun? "

After questioning, Mi Lao Er lowered his head in shame and anger, his chest heaving violently with excitement.

Mrs. Mi: "When the Mi family is doing well, you can be a playboy! But now that the Mi family is not doing well, my son! You can no longer live a life of luxury.

From now on, you have to think about the future...how you are going to live in the future."

Mi Lao Er stammered: "Mom..."
