I've read today the sentence:

> お母さんにどなられても，しかられても，羊のように黙って言うことを聞きました。

The part I understand says that even if she was screamed at or scolded by the
mother, like a sheep...

Now, I can't find a translation for the rest of the sentence. I now the girl
in the context listen to something but I couldn't find a translation for
黙って言うこと.

What does it mean?

question
translation parsing
Is 黙って言うこと a set phrase?
黙っていうことを聞く means "acquiesce", so she acquiesced in what her mother said like a
sheep.

This 黙って means 文句を言わずに(without complaining) and いうことを聞く means 従う(follow). It
would be rephresed as "She followed what her mother said without complaining
like a sheep".
