Manbao, with her little head drooping, knelt beside Zhou Liulang. Old Zhou paced back and forth in front of the four, obviously furious. The entire Zhou family, one and all, gathered in the courtyard to witness the scene.
It was the first time Manbao had been punished by Old Zhou by being made to kneel. In the past, when she made mistakes, it was Ms Qian who would punish her, and Old Zhou would plead on her behalf.
But this time, Old Zhou was quite angry and did not wait for Ms Qian to act; he took it upon himself to punish Manbao.
Of course, Ms Qian was not going to plead for them either. She sat at the doorway on a chair with a stern face, watching the four of them.
The four were utterly dejected, but knowing they were in the wrong and had no ground to argue, they knelt and listened obediently to their father's scolding.
Life is always full of surprises, and Manbao felt that what Keke had said made a lot of sense.
