Chapter 287: Chapter 288 Where did Guibao go? 4

Ma Xiulian looked full of gratitude, thinking that once she found Guibao, she would definitely thank the people in the commune.

When Erni heard the announcement, she felt suddenly panicked and scared.

She only wanted to worry her grandma a little. Once Guibao came back, maybe she would even scold her, but she never thought that the whole commune would go into the mountains to find her!

There were wild beasts like tigers and bears in the mountains that could eat people!

This fear made her even more hesitant to tell the truth, fearing that her grandparents would beat her to death.

She instinctively took two steps back, wanting to escape from here.

However, seeing that people from the commune were gathering with their hoes and poles, she finally gave in to the pressure and tearfully told the truth, "Grandma! Guibao didn’t get lost! She didn’t get lost! She went to town with the people from the Gu family."

Dani, who was standing by, couldn’t believe what she had heard, "You, you knew about this? Why didn’t you say it sooner?!"

Erni stammered, explaining guiltily, "I... I forgot."

She didn’t dare tell her true thoughts, and just kept crying and wiping her tears.

Zhao Mei immediately looked at her mother-in-law nervously, fearing she would fly into a rage and hurt Erni.

Although Erni had made a mistake, it didn’t warrant punishment by death.

Others thought the same, as everyone in the commune knew how much Ma Xiulian cherished Guibao.

However, Ma Xiulian’s first reaction wasn’t anger but relief. As long as Guibao was safe, it was all good.

Once she calmed down, she felt her back was cold, soaked in cold sweat.

Seeing that everything was resolved, Zhao Mancao called out, "As long as the child is safe, everyone can go home."

Ma Xiulian, who had come to her senses, began to apologize and thank the people from the commune, "I’m so sorry for causing trouble."

No one in the commune complained, they empathized, thinking that if it were their sons or grandsons who ventured out into the mountains, they would be even more worried.

When almost everyone had left, Ma Xiulian gave Erni a stern look and said, "Let’s go home."

Why isn’t Mom yelling or scolding?!

The sons and daughters-in-law of the Chen Family were all stunned, but they all had an uneasy feeling.

They glanced at each other and none dared to speak.

Returning home in dead silence, Ma Xiulian suddenly barked, "Kneel down!"

Erni immediately knelt down with a "thud", swallowing nervously, her face pale with fear.

It’s over!

Grandma’s going to beat her to death!

Ma Xiulian glared at her darkly, reprimanding sternly, "You’re always envious of Guibao, but hiding such a big thing from us?!"

Only heaven knew how worried and scared she had been.

"I, I..."

Erni stammered to argue, but when she looked up to meet her grandmother’s piercing, icy gaze, she shut her mouth like she’d been stabbed.

Yes, she was jealous of Guibao!

But she didn’t mean to!

She only wanted Guibao to be scolded by Grandma once, even just a sentence!

If it weren’t for Granny favoring her and getting worried, this whole thing wouldn’t have blown out of proportion!

With a stiff neck, she stared defiantly and said: "Then you just beat me to death!"

"Erni!"

Zhao Mei cried out in a panic, pleading for her daughter, "Mom, don’t beat her to death! This is my failing as a mother, I didn’t teach her well. In the future, I’ll definitely educate her properly and never let her be jealous of Guibao again!"

Zhao Mei was really afraid that her mother-in-law would get angry and hurt Erni.
