After Junior Ms. Qian finished speaking, she reached out to grab Manbao's clothes to pull her up. As soon as she touched her, her expression involuntarily changed. She immediately pulled Manbao up for a closer look and asked angrily, "Manbao, did you go play in the water?"
"No," Manbao immediately denied, crying out, "It wasn't playing in the water, it was the water from the tree that dripped down!"
Junior Ms. Qian wasn't foolish; she understood as soon as she heard it and was quite angry. She dragged Manbao back to the house to change clothes and, upon coming out, gave Datou and Daya a good beating.
Datou and Daya cried out loudly, not necessarily from much pain, but they wailed extremely loudly. Manbao was so frightened that she rushed out from the house and placed herself in front of them, her eyes brimming with tears, she begged, "Sister-in-law, I was the one who shook the tree, I won't dare to do it again."
