Chapter 335: Hu Yueer's family of three knelt down

Chen Chuyang just left like that, went back to the courtyard to drink tea, leaving Hu Yueer kneeling there; that woman was also stubborn, so she kept kneeling, and if Chen Chuyang didn't agree, she wouldn't get up.

Shang Hongxue followed Chen Chuyang back, glanced in surprise at Hu Yueer who hadn't gotten up, still kneeling with no intention to rise; it seemed she really intended to keep kneeling.

Half an hour later.

She was still kneeling there, not getting up.

"Chuyang gege, she's still kneeling there; what should we do?"

Chen Chuyang waved his hand: "No need to bother her; if she likes kneeling, let her kneel."

"Oh."

Shang Hongxue glanced, didn't care, started her own business, but had no mind to attend to her.

Down the mountain, Liu Yuer and Zhang Nongqian also saw this scene; the mother and daughter exchanged a glance, Liu Yuer somewhat surprised that the woman had actually knelt down and kept kneeling on the mountain, refusing to rise, not knowing what she wanted, trying to force Chen Chuyang to lower his head.

It's obvious her goal cannot be achieved; Chen Chuyang is not someone she can manipulate, and he won't soften just because she kneels.

"What's wrong with her, Mother?" Zhang Nongqian asked doubtfully; she had been studying seeds all along, but had no mind to deal with mountain matters, nor mood to bother with Hu Yueer's trivialities, herself having a headache, how could she have the mood to think of anything else?

Liu Yuer spread her hands: "I don't know either; maybe this woman had a request for your master, was refused by your master, and so she ended up like this."

Zhang Nongqian blinked, looking at Hu Yueer's silhouette, somewhat surprised and also amused.

"What is she thinking? She couldn't possibly think the master would really nod; if she offered some benefits, maybe the master would agree, but using this method to force the master to nod is impossible."

Her master will do anything as long as you pay; if he can do it and it's not dangerous, he'll do it for you; as for the outcome, that depends on luck, though most of the time it's not bad.

When her master takes action, he can certainly make people satisfied.

Taking money to do things has always been the master's principle; whoever comes is the same, even if the master's father came, it would be the same; let alone you, a Fox Clan woman with no connection, what master's stepmother—the master hasn't acknowledged, so it naturally doesn't count.

"Yeah, your master isn't his father; this trick of hers won't work on him."

"This woman is really something; if she has any requests, she should go look for Chen Yuan, not your master."

"You already had a grudge against her, and now you pull this stunt; you wouldn't really think someone would pity you and agree to your request, would you?"

Some people just think too highly of themselves.

Kneeling is also fine.

Liu Yuer wanted to see how long she could keep kneeling, just how stubborn this woman could be.

Zhang Nongqian continued to lower her head researching her fire-fruit seeds; that was her evaluation, more important than anything; passing the evaluation would make her the master's true disciple, rather than the previous kind of pseudo-disciple.

"Daughter, keep busy with your affairs."

Liu Yuer didn't disturb her daughter, let her study well; maybe she would find a solution.

Her daughter's mind is sharper than hers; she'll surely figure it out.

Liu Yuer also didn't want to disturb her daughter's thinking over Hu Yueer's matter.

Just like that, half a day passed.

Hu Yueer kept kneeling, never rising, maintaining one action; her persistence didn't yield the expected effect.

On the contrary, down the mountain, Chen Li and Chen Hu saw that their mother hadn't returned yet, they grew anxious, walked back and forth, constantly looking up the mountain for her silhouette; after hesitating a long time, they still headed up the mountain, advancing in the direction she had gone.

Arriving at the edge of Yu Tang, they saw their mother kneeling; they hurried to her side, the two little ones each on one side, helping her up; Hu Yueer refused their kindness, insisting on kneeling until Chen Chuyang agreed to help.

"Mother, get up, don't kneel."

"Mother, you can't do this."

The two little ones wouldn't allow their mother to keep kneeling; they felt very sad seeing her like that.

Aching for their mother, they couldn't bear to see her humiliated.

This is their mother; they absolutely cannot let her kneel again.

They struggled to lift their mother up, but Mother……wouldn't rise, her body wouldn't lift.

The two of them exerted all their strength, yet still couldn't lift Mother.

"Mother, can you get up? The child watches, heart aching."

"Mother, listen to your sister's words, get up; if there's anything, we can discuss it together; you……can you first get up?"

Chen Li, tears in his eyes, strained to help his mother up; he truly didn't want to see his mother kneel.

Back when they were with the Fox Clan, Mother was like this; coming here, they don't want to see Mother like this again.

She doesn't want to see Mother kneel for their sake.

They really feel heartbroken.

Mother has given too much, too much for them.

Even if she kneels again and again, begs others again and again, even if she fails again and again, she never gives up hope; as long as there's a glimmer of hope, she will plead.

Chen Li's heart broke; she thought leaving that place would mean……she wouldn't have to see Mother kneel again, but unexpectedly, in this place Mother knelt down again, still kowtowing to their older brother.

"Li'er, Hu'er, listen up; Mother will definitely beg him to help you achieve Foundation Establishment."

"As long as you can achieve Foundation Establishment, Mother will be content."

"Don't block me; I will surely succeed."

She, insists on kneeling.

Chen Li and Chen Hu couldn't lift their mother up; with a thud, they followed her and knelt down.

As children, they couldn't watch their mother kneel alone; they wanted to accompany her.

They didn't want Mother to worry about their affairs, nor see her constantly kneeling.

Their hearts ached; they felt unworthy as children.

"What are you doing? Mother doesn't need you to accompany me, nor does she need you to kneel."

"How could you kneel? You……"

Hu Yueer hurriedly got the two children to rise; she could kneel, but her children couldn't.

But the two children wouldn't rise; they wanted to keep kneeling.

Kneeling down together with mother.

Chen Li gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, I, your daughter, will accompany you."

Chen Hu remained silent, kneeling on the other side; he chose to kneel down and would not rise—when mother rose, he rose.

Both children were stubborn, kneeling down together with Hu Yueer.

This time, they won't let mother kneel alone.

Or rather, they've always been like this; mother doesn't like them kneeling, but each time they follow and kneel, mother will... give up.

This time, it's different.

"You really are..."

Hu Yueer didn't rise; she knew Chen Chuyang had a way—aside from kneeling, she had no other option.

That person is different.

She felt Chen Chuyang could definitely help with Foundation Establishment; kneeling could earn her an opportunity, and she thought it was worthwhile.

"Mother, we'll do it together."

Hu Yueer bit her lip, refusing to let herself cry, enduring silently.
