Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 149: Twenty Sticks for One Person

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Twenty Sticks for One Person

The rest of the journey went very smoothly, especially after descending the mountain and seeing the intact, thriving rice fields. The joy of a bountiful harvest that had been suppressed in their hearts suddenly exploded.

Team leader Zhao Mancao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go home and eat first, then go straight to the commune dam to distribute fish and meat after the meal!"

It was noon by this point and everyone was hungry after climbing the mountain for half a day, so they hurried home excited and joyful, hoping to finish their meal quickly and then distribute the fish and meat.

Helian Qiao took the lead, riding the Plum Deer, followed by Chen Erbao running behind the deer’s butt.

But they couldn’t avoid what was coming. As soon as they entered the house, they saw their mother holding Guibao with a face full of pity and fright. When she saw her three sons, her face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot and she sternly ordered: "Kneel down!"

The three brothers immediately knelt to the ground, all bowing their heads and not daring to look at her black face, prepared to be scolded severely by their mother.

"You three..."

However, Ma Xiulian was so frightened and angry that she couldn’t speak. Her chest was heaving violently, clearly livid to the extreme.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhaodi quickly said, "Mom, you can beat and scold them, but don’t let it affect your health. "

After hearing her son’s words, she too was very upset. How could the three grown men have left behind Guibao, a little girl, to save themselves!

Zhao Mei also looked at her little niece with a face full of pity, thinking that Chen Jianye, as a father, was really not good. Even if a daughter couldn’t compare to a son, she was still his flesh and blood.

Li Chunhua, on the other hand, was utterly indifferent, thinking that her man had done nothing wrong. Only an idiot would risk their own life to save a loss-making asset.

Luckily, she knew not to voice such heartless thoughts. She simply regretted in her heart that the damn girl hadn’t actually been eaten by the adult bear.

As the person involved, Helian Qiao felt nothing at all. But when she saw her grandma getting so angry, she gently patted her chest with her chubby hand and said, "Grandma, don’t be angry, the bear can’t eat me!"

To the Little Princess, the three brothers were just people living in the same house, with, at most, a blood tie. Plus, they were loved by her grandparents, so she didn’t mind sharing some soup with them when she was eating meat.

But it was absolutely impossible for her to be upset because they had abandoned her to save their own lives. Little Princess didn’t take it to heart at all.

But Ma Xiulian was angry and outraged!

Her lungs were about to explode with rage!

Her Guibao was so good, so obedient and sensible. How could they bear to leave her alone to face the fierce and terrifying bear?!

The fear and terror outweighed the rage and anger. Whenever she thought about how she almost lost her little darling, she felt a chill down her spine.

Seeing his wife’s teary, red eyes, Chen Dazhu stood up with a large wooden stick and said in a deep voice, "Take off your clothes. Twenty strikes each."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua cried out in disbelief, "Dad, isn’t twenty strikes too much!"

Back in those days, when a man hit a child, each stroke would leave a red mark that stung and burned.

But didn’t the damn girl come back safe and sound after all?!

Chen Dazhu immediately gave her a gloomy look, and the fierce gaze made Li Chunhua’s scalp tingle. She quickly lowered her head and didn’t dare to make a sound.
