At this point, Anning looked somewhat sorrowful: "Indeed, you no longer tolerate the three of us, thinking of ways to drive us away." Old Madam, upon seeing Anning’s grief, was reminded of her late eldest son. Her favorite had been the eldest son. Not because the eldest son was well-studied, but because he was truly filial and impeccable in his conduct, who also cheered her up. Ever since his death, Old Madam had hardly been happy. Now thinking of that child, Old Madam also began to cry. She, while crying, said to Anning: "Eldest Son’s Wife, rest assured, with mother here, as long as I live for a day, I won’t let others bully you. For you three, your father and I will try to live longer, lest when we pass away, the heartless Second and Third mistreat you." Old Madam was crying so hard that the Old Master, who had been sitting nearby, couldn’t sit still any longer. He got up to comfort Old Madam and sternly scolded Xu Zhiyong: "Second, take your good-for-nothing wife and kids out, lest your mother gets even more upset." Xu Zhiyong also had an ugly look on his face, feeling both guilty and angry. He came over to pull Xu Er Ya. But Xu Er Ya wouldn’t go with him. If she left, she would be labeled disrespectful towards her elders. She sniffled and cried too: "Great Aunt, it’s all my fault, I was wrong, I didn’t realize your hands couldn’t do heavy work. I was just speaking carelessly earlier, I apologize to you." Anning sneered inwardly, thinking that this transmigration girl really knew how to bend and stretch, no wonder her former self faced such a terrible fate in her previous life. She raised her head, her eyes red, and before looking at Mrs. Feng said: "I wasn’t arguing with a child like you, you know nothing. It’s just that your mother had asked me to help with some embroidery, and I was busy doing embroidery for Landlord Wang’s house, so I refused, I didn’t expect her to hold a grudge until now." Anning turned to Mrs. Feng: "Sister-in-law, I didn’t say I wouldn’t help, but just that I would help after finishing the embroidery work. Were you that impatient?" Mrs. Feng, always a bit slow in speech, wanted to retort, but simply couldn’t match Anning’s quick words. "It doesn’t matter then, I’m not blaming you, but from now on, don’t complain in front of the kids, it’s not good for their character, after all, aren’t we living this life for the kids? If the kids turn out well, we are willing to endure all hardships. If not, isn’t it like cutting out a mother’s heart, don’t you think?" Mrs. Feng wanted to say I didn’t, it wasn’t me. But Anning didn’t give her a chance. Anning, looking at Old Madam, said: "Mother, I see that Erya looks a bit pale, let her go back to her room to rest, otherwise people might say I can’t even tolerate a child." Old Madam waved her hand: "Erya, go back quickly." Old Master glared at Mrs. Feng with disapproval: "If I find out you’re causing trouble behind the scenes again, this home can no longer accommodate you." Mrs. Feng cried in grievance. This content belongs to NoveI-Fire.ɴet Xu Zhiyong quickly pleaded for Mrs. Feng: "Father, Mother, she didn’t mean it, she’s not that kind of person." Anning then began wiping her tears: "I know people differ in closeness, it’s good for Second Brother to side with his wife, but..." She suddenly hugged Old Madam: "Mother, if father were alive, he would definitely protect me too. Poor me, my husband passed away early, leaving us, a widow and orphans, barely managing to survive without anyone to stand up for us. Husband..." She was truly distressed as she cried, while calling out the deceased Xu Zhiwen, performing a full range of emotions: "Wait for me on Huangquan Road, it won’t be long before I join you, perhaps our family of four will be reunited soon, Husband, you always said that after passing the Imperial Examination you would take our family away, be dutiful to parents, let Mother become Old Sealed Lord, Father become Old Master, and improve our lives. I always remembered your words, and I’ve been working on embroidery day and night, just to allow Ying Ge’er to study well like you, to be filial to the parents. I don’t fear hardship or tiredness, for the parents and children I can do anything, also avoiding stirring up trouble, living honestly, how could I still be unwelcome?" Anning, embracing Old Madam, cried as if she had lost her own parents. Old Madam also began to cry. The more she cried, the more miserable she felt, increasingly resenting Xu Er Ya for stirring up trouble. Old Master also became extremely angry.
