Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 35 Family Rules
When the Ma brothers heard the sound of reading, their faces showed envy, and they listened quietly.

Occasionally, Ma Min'er understood a short paragraph, it was because a certain chapter was selected in the Chinese textbook, and she couldn't understand the rest.After a while, the sound of endorsement stopped, and the voice of the old man's comments came from inside, one sentence from the left and one sentence from the right.

After waiting for a long time, when Ma Min'er's legs were weak and about to fall, the inside finally called out.

"Come in--"

The childish voice is that of a young man.Ma Qifeng hurried in with the child, but the servants at the door blocked sister Ma Miner, and only men were allowed in the room.

"Second lady, please stand to the side." The old servant seemed polite, but actually looked contemptuous.

Ma Min'er knew that the old servant's politeness was purely the self-cultivation of the big family itself, and had nothing to do with her, so she was so angry, sir, one day, this girl will show you what equality between men and women is.

Before she could get angry, there was a voice in the room, it was her cheap grandmother's voice.

"Sixth brother, why didn't you respect the elders first when you bought water and cakes yesterday?" Even though they were exiled all the way, Ma's reincarnation fell here, Mrs. Ma's majesty as the mistress was still overwhelming.

Knowing that there will be such an event last night, Ma Qifeng was not frightened by the mistress of the house, and saluted unhurriedly: "Mrs. Hui, I didn't buy the water and cakes, but the sister-in-law of the Guo family asked me to buy them." His son bought it."

The old lady's face was ugly: "Lao Liu, who are you fooling?"

"Ma'am, believe it or not, but Zichang doesn't have a penny on him."

The old lady seemed to be used to this kind of answer and attitude, and said with a cold face: "Lao Liu, do you think that the Ma family has been exiled and ruined, and that I, the mistress, can't do anything about you?"

"Zi Chang dare not." Ma Qifeng lowered his head.

"Hmph..." The old lady snorted lightly, "No matter what happens to the Ma family, the filial piety and family rules will not be lost. Huier, you come to enforce the family rules, so that your sixth uncle knows what filial piety is."

Ma Yihui glanced at his grandfather who was sitting in the main seat, and found that he did not stop his grandmother from letting him be the head of the house, so he saluted and said, "Yes, grandmother." Turning his head slightly, he glanced at the father and son of Ma's family, with an impatient look on his face , even disgusted, put his hands behind his back, and strode out the door.

House rules?Ma Min'er thought to herself, do they want to physically punish her father?No way!Just as he was wondering, someone came out from the room, it was Ma Yihui, the eldest grandson of the Ma family, the boy who had just endorsed.

He was young, with his hands behind his back, deep like an old pedant, pulling something, like [-] million. Immediately, his father, older brother and younger brother also came out, "Dad..."

Ma Qifeng waved his hand lightly.

Ma Min'er didn't understand the meaning of the hand wave, and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the old servant, "Second lady, please stay."

"Why is my father going?"

"The eldest son wants to teach the sixth master the family law."

"Okay...what kind of family law?"

"Uncle Ding, let people silence you."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master!" Uncle Ding bowed quickly to salute.

Ma Min'er gritted her teeth and glanced at the teenage boy. He looked quite handsome, but his expression and demeanor were rigid and serious, as if he was in his 40s or [-]s, which was annoying.

Standing on the steps in front of the corridor, condescending, although the clothes are shabby, but the person is meticulous, solemnly said: "Sixth Uncle, remember the family rules."

It turned out that it wasn't a beating, Ma Min'er unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the ancients had family rules, she pricked up her ears curiously.

"Yes--"

"A hundred times!"

What?a hundred times?Just now I thought this kind of punishment was pediatrics, but I didn’t expect the big move here. Ma Miner raised her head, it was almost ten o’clock in the morning, and the sun was scorching. Standing under the sun and reading the house rules a hundred times, wouldn’t she faint here!No wonder he stood on the porch by himself.

Ma Miner gritted her teeth, why don't you stand under the sun?She expected that the Ma family's family rules would only have a few sentences, but after Ma Qifeng recited them, she realized that the Ma family's family rules were quite long, with two to three hundred words.

Ma Qifeng didn't care about reading the family rules in front of the younger generation: "Loyalty to the emperor, honesty and benevolence, responsibility for ministers, respect for father and mother, filial piety and fraternity, kindness and joy, respect for teachers and support for children, succession to the virtuous..."

Ma Min'er stood beside her father, silently accompanying him, but Ma Yihui, the 'big patriarch', entered the room, hmph...you know you can't stand the high temperature, really...she gave her a dark look.

Ma Qifeng kept talking about the family rules, and stretched out his hand to caress the children who were close to him. As long as the children are by his side, what are these blames?

Over and over again: "Loyalty to the emperor, honesty and benevolence, responsibility for ministers, respect for father and mother, filial piety..."

What is difficult is not only physical strength, but also the contemptuous eyes of everyone. This is the real soft knife. It strips away your dignity, which is more unbearable than a beating.

Ma Min'er looked at her father who didn't care. Has this kind of punishment been repeated so many times that he has become numb?
Half an hour later, the father finally recited the family instructions a hundred times while staggering. The younger brother and younger sister had already collapsed to the ground, and had been dragged down the corridor by the elder brother. Only Ma Miner was with his father.

After helping her father count a hundred times, she shouted: "Here we are, we are here—"

But Ma Yihui didn't come out of the room, but two young servants came, and they searched for Ma Qiguang's tattered clothes.

"What are you doing?" Ma Miner exclaimed, not expecting such an outburst.

Before she could help her father, an old maid stepped forward to search her. Ma Min'er understood that these people thought they had hidden something on them. As for whether it was money or food, she didn't know. In order to stop the old servant's hand, "Search, do you want me to take off my clothes?"

She sneered, thanks to the fact that she was still thinking just now, look at the ancients, they were all exiled to this realm, they are still well-behaved, have a lot of family precepts, and the aristocratic temperament really penetrates into the bone marrow.

Fuck his uncle, any aristocratic temperament is hypocritical, and the hypocrisy is disgusting.

Under the corridor, the three brothers and sisters of the Ma family did not escape, and they were also searched.As a result, nothing was received.

"Do you want to keep our clothes?" Ma Min'er sneered, and shouted: "Brother, third brother, take off all the clothes for me, don't keep a single piece."

"Big sister—" Ma Dalang looked at his sister in shock.

"What are you looking at, take it off for me, let me tell you, your rags might be sold for a few pennies."

Ma Dalang saw the anger in the elder sister's eyes, yes, it was anger that could not be restrained, he had been angry like this before, but he never thought about how to solve this anger other than blaming himself for being useless, He gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at the other Ma family members sitting under the eaves. They always looked at them indifferently, driving their family into dust with their eyes.

Suddenly wanting to vent, he stretched out his hand to take off Sanlang's tattered and invisible clothes, except for frequent slaps, the seven-year-old Sanlang stood naked in front of the people.

The people under the eaves were stunned for a moment, and then the women's screams were heard.

"what……"

"what……"

……

They covered their eyes and scurried into the three rooms.

Hearing the panicked screams, Ma Dalang felt more relaxed than ever before. Although he was so hungry that his eyes were dazzled at the moment, he still excitedly began to undress his clothes.

As for Xie Ma Sanlang's clothes, the men in the corridor can still accept it. After all, he is only a seven-year-old boy, but Ma Dalang is different. He is 11 years old, and he is considered a boy, but...

Ma Laojiu stood up, "Chu'er, what are you doing...?"
