Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

As Li Muhua and the other person gradually walked forward and passed through the moon gate, their figures disappeared in the front yard. The aunts who remained there looked at each other.

"I didn't realize that the Li family's daughter-in-law was so cruel. She beat him to death just now. It hurts me to see it." An auntie spoke first, and there was some blame in her words for Xu Yan.

But she only heard a sneer in response to her words, which made everyone look over.

"Liu Sanniang, what do you know?"

"Do you think the Li family's daughter-in-law really wanted to beat her son? She beat him for us to see and for the old lady in the backyard to see. Didn't you see that she took her son to find the old lady right after the beating?"

"Trouble comes from the mouth. If I were to say Xu Yan is right, Li Muhua is so young but he is so outspoken. He said something like the old lady is dead and that we are gossiping about her behind her back. If we don't give him a beating, won't he be in big trouble?"

After the old lady of the Li family finished saying these words, everyone finally realized the intention of Xu Yan's action. No one responded with flickering eyes. The old lady of the Li family also did not speak again and walked directly to the backyard.

After the others reacted, they hurriedly followed, and a large group of them trotted towards the backyard.

Li Muhua on this side just walked to the moon gate in the backyard. Looking at the backyard that came into view, Li Muhua hesitated again and was reluctant to move.

It was just a coincidence that he was dealing with the deaf old lady at that time. It was just a matter of chance for him to do something with her. Who knew that in the end he would be dealt with by his mother Xu Yan, and now he has to go to her house to apologize.

If I really went to apologize, would I be able to hold my head up in front of the deaf old lady in the future? Not to mention showing off my power to punish her.

Thinking of this, Li Muhua's already slow steps slowed down even more. His feet rubbed on the ground as if they were wearing heavy shackles, and he was reluctant to move forward.

Xu Yan, who was standing behind him, saw Li Muhua stop and wanted to go forward to comfort him, but she saw a group of people surrounding him from behind. She had no choice but to take a rolling pin and gently hit Li Muhua's back, pushing him forward and saying:

"My dear, you are already grown up, it's time for you to be more sensible and stop forcing your mother to punish you in the yard!"

Li Muhua glanced back slightly, and seeing that his mother was determined to force him to apologize to the deaf old lady, he had no choice but to move forward again.

"Forget it. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. After all, I am her son now, so I should listen to her."

Thinking of this, Li Muhua raised his head and looked towards the back room again.

"Old deaf man, you'd better know your place. If you continue to act like a troublemaker, don't blame me for having another little ancestor over your head in the yard in the future."

After secretly encouraging himself and cutting the deaf old lady into eighteen pieces in his head, Li Muhua walked to the back room, only to see that the door in front of him was ajar. So Li Muhua turned around and looked at Xu Yan, wanting to hear what he should do next!

You can't just walk in like this, right?

"Why are you looking at me? I asked you to come here to apologize to the old lady. As for how to apologize, that's up to you. But if the old lady won't forgive you, I'll beat you here until she forgives you!"

Xu Yan spoke loudly, and it didn't seem like she was talking to Li Muhua, but rather to the deaf old lady in the room.

When Li Muhua heard this, he simply closed his eyes and shouted directly into the house: "Old lady, I'm here to apologize to you. Come out and see. If you don't come out, my mother will beat me to death."

"Cough-cough-"

No one responded from the back room. Only a cough was heard, and then it became quiet again. After waiting for a while, Li Muhua, who was standing at the door, turned his head to look at Xu Yan, then stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look into the room, but was poked on the shoulder by Xu Yan with his crutch.

Li Muhua then stopped her little actions and continued to rub her buttocks while standing in front of the back room.

It was already late autumn, and Li Muhua had already put on some thin cotton pants. Even though Xu Yan's palm seemed to be hitting Li Muhua to death, it didn't hurt much when it landed on Li Muhua. By this time, the pain in his buttocks had long disappeared.

As for Li Muhua's behavior just now, as if he was about to be beaten to death, it was mostly acting. After all, Li Muhua knew that crying children get candy. Although he didn't dare to expect Xu Yan to feed him candy halfway through beating him, he estimated that if he howled a few times, the beating would be lighter, right?

Half a moment later, not to mention Li Muhua, even the neighbors outside who were watching the excitement were getting impatient. They started whispering as they looked at the deaf old lady's back room.

Xu Yan's face darkened as she watched this scene. She clenched the rolling pin in her hand again, wondering whether she should hit Li Muhua a few times to force the deaf old lady to come out.

"Squeak-"

Just at this time, the door of the shaved room was slowly opened, and then the deaf old lady walked out tremblingly, holding the door with one hand and leaning on a crutch with the other.

Li Muhua looked at her with disdain. This old witch was really good at pretending. Just an hour ago, she was shouting and killing, as if she was going to eat him alive. If he hadn't run fast, his legs would have been broken by her. But now she was pretending to be an old and frail person.

Bah, what a despicable thing!

But at this time the advantage was on the enemy side. No matter how bitter he felt in his heart, Li Muhua could only force a smile on his face and pretend to be an honest child.

Pretend, is she the only deaf old lady who can pretend to be an old person? She can also pretend to be a child! !

Now that he was a child, and a good boy, could the deaf old lady really bother him? Thinking of this, Li Muhua slightly strained his face, trying to squeeze out a more genuine smile.

Who would have thought that the deaf old lady simply ignored Li Muhua's winking eyes and her eyes went straight to Xu Yan.

"Daughter-in-law of the Li family, why are you here to see me, the ancestor? Could it be that you really believe what your son said and want to come to see if I am dead or not?"

As the deaf old lady spoke, she poked the ground hard a few times with her cane. The bluestone tiles made a crisp sound under her strong poking, which could be heard clearly in the backyard. The scene suddenly became dead silent.

Xu Yan's heart sank when she heard this. It seemed that the deaf old lady really wanted to talk to her about this matter. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Li Muhua on the side saw the opportunity and spoke first.

"Old lady, didn't I just say that? I'm here to apologize to you. It has nothing to do with my mother."

Li Muhua said with an innocent look on her face and continued to ask:

"It seems that your ears are really not working well, old lady. You didn't hear me even when I shouted so loudly!"

In Li Muhua's opinion, it was very simple. The deaf old lady behaved like this simply because her mother treated her as a human being. She took the opportunity to show off and climb up the ladder, wanting to show off her ancestral manners.

However, there are some things that are difficult for my mother to say, but I have no scruples since I am young. I believe that as long as I think before I speak and mix in some jokes, I will be able to resolve the matter more smoothly.
