Chapter 46 The Mermaid Baby Can Read

"Wait!" Just then, Xie Yongnian, who had been silent until now, suddenly appeared. His expression was extremely gloomy, making his underlings behind him afraid to interrupt.

"The most important thing to be a boss is to know how to fight! Since you want to be one, let's have a match!"

Before Baili Wanwan could refuse, he walked towards her with a cold expression.

"Xie Yongnian, how dare you touch him!" Wan Yuechi, who was standing to the side, sensed his hostile tone and tried to stop him, but was blocked by Xie Yongnian's group of henchmen.

Xie Yongnian was already harboring resentment, so when he called it a competition, his real intention was to beat up Baili Wanwan.

So as soon as he reached Baili Wanwan, he swung his hand without saying a word.

Baili Wanwan pushed Lin Yang'er away, bent down slightly, and Xie Yongnian's hand missed its target.

Before Xie Yongnian could react, she suddenly squatted down and swept her leg at him.

Xie Yongnian then fell to the ground with a thud.

Then Baili Wanwan rode on his back and gave him a good beating.

Xie Yongnian originally thought he would beat Baili Wanwan so badly that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.

But for some reason, Bailiwan was clearly only three years old, but when he tripped and fell to the ground, he couldn't get up because he was being pressed down by her.

Then Raindrop's fists landed on him, and Xie Yongnian had nowhere to escape, screaming in pain.

"You're a bad kid who doesn't keep his word! I won, you're not the boss anymore! Tell me! Do you still dare to bully people!"

Under the arduous task of repairing the winding road, Xie Yongnian could only utter words against his conscience.

Only then did Baili Wanwan let him go.

But as soon as she got off Xie Yongnian, he scrambled to his feet, raised his fist to punch Baili Wanwan, seemingly wanting to vent his anger.

"What are you doing?!" Just then, a deep, angry voice suddenly came from behind.

The children turned around in fright. Wan Suizhou was holding a ruler, his gaze cold and menacing as he stared at the group of little kids.

"Do you know the consequences of engaging in a group fight in the school?"

No matter how mischievous a child is, they all have a childhood nightmare: their husband.

Wan Suizhou was the strictest with these naughty children, so when the children saw Wan Suizhou, their arrogant expressions turned into fear.

"Since you're all so free, you must have all memorized today's new lesson, right?! Everyone, follow along, I'm going to check you one by one!!"

Wan Suizhou's words were like a bolt from the blue.

The children followed Wan Suizhou to school, all looking dejected.

The ending was easy to guess: none of the people could recite it, so everyone here was punished by Wan Suizhou with confinement.

It was called solitary confinement, but it meant locking them all in the same room, each with a book, and having them recite the tasks assigned by the teacher.

If even one person fails to memorize it, then the entire group will remain inside until everyone helps each other and memorizes it.

The children all complained as soon as they heard the recitation.

They were simply not cut out for studying; they felt that catching fish and shrimp was far better than studying.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't have formed this small group and bullied others every day.

"Wanwan, Yang'er, come on, let's ignore them and go recite our lessons together..."

Of the group, only Wan Yuechi looked relaxed, even a little happy.

Baili Wanwan glanced at him, puzzled, and asked, "They all say that memorizing is bad, so why are you so happy, Second Brother?"

“Nonsense, who said memorizing is bad…” Wan Yuechi immediately retorted upon hearing her words.

Then, with a serious expression, he said to Baili Wanwan, "There are golden houses in books. Reading is the most joyful thing, and it's also a quick way to memorize. I can memorize two passages a day at home!"

Although Baili Wanwan didn't quite understand, she thought being able to read was a very impressive thing.

Their conversation was overheard by Xie Yongnian and the others who were following behind them.

This was the first time they had ever heard someone say that reading brought them joy, and they all praised Wan Yuechi as a genius.

"I get a headache just looking at the words in this book, and you actually say reading is fun?!"

"Exactly, every time the teacher asks me to read, I feel like eating the book..."

The group of people were talking at once. They were a group of people who didn't like each other just a moment ago, but suddenly they admired Wan Yuechi because he was very good at studying.

Xie Yongnian and the others were put in solitary confinement, so some lay down, some sat, some slumped over, and although they had books in their hands, they just wouldn't read them properly.

Wan Yuechi ignored them and instead took out a book, teaching Baili Wanwan to recognize each word one by one.

She was young, and although she had copied books when she was with the Wan family, it was just copying what they did.

Wan Yuechi was worried that Baili Wanwan wouldn't be able to read, so he specially set aside time to teach her and Lin Yang'er to read.

But before he could finish teaching, Baili Wanwan suddenly spoke up very seriously, "Second brother, I know them all, you don't need to teach me..."

"But you're only three years old! Do you really know all the words in this book?"

Baili Wanwan's words shocked not only Wan Yuechi, but also Xie Yongnian and his children.

"It's true! If you don't believe me, Second Brother, I'll read it to you!"

And so Baili Wanwan's tender voice echoed throughout the school.

Confucius said: "To learn something and at due times to practice it, is that not a pleasure? To have friends..."

Baili Wanwan read two or three articles in a row, which amazed everyone.

Xie Yongnian finally admitted that Baili Wanwan was more capable than him, and told his followers to stop calling him "boss" and instead call him "boss Baili Wanwan".

Two or three days passed like this. Ever since Wan Yuechi learned that Baili Wanwan was very good at studying, he told Wan Suizhou about it.

Seeing that Baili Wanwan had exceptional talent, Wan Suizhou wanted to nurture her with care. Whenever he had time, he would send her to his study, whether she was reading or practicing calligraphy, he would always let her study for a little longer.

But to Wan Suizhou's surprise, although Baili Wanwan was literate and intelligent, she had no interest in classical Chinese literature at all.

But each time, she would still happily go to the study to find books to read.

Wan Suizhou wanted to see what she was researching, but he found that she was holding a cookbook that recorded delicacies from all over the world.

Baili Wanwan kept swallowing as she looked at the delicious food.

The rest of the pile in front of her wasn't about food, but about the ocean or animals.

Wan Suizhou sighed, realizing he had hoped his diligent tutelage would produce some prodigy, but it seemed he had been overthinking things...?
