A group of little kids stood obediently at the base of the wall, behaving themselves quite well.

This made Changsheng extremely curious.

Changsheng craned his neck and looked around, then, finding no adults nearby, he asked curiously in a low voice:

"You'll all be punished?"

Chi Tang: "Of course you'll be punished if you do something wrong."

Goro muttered, "What child doesn't get a beating?"

Changsheng raised an eyebrow but said nothing more.

So it turns out my parents weren't targeting me.

All the children in the family get beaten for misbehaving...

"You have no idea, Silang was beaten really badly by my father once. Grandma even got angry with my father." An'an suddenly leaned closer to Changsheng and told him about what had happened before.

Chang Sheng was very curious: "Why?"

"Oh, he hit the teacher, so my dad beat him up with a rattan cane. He had a high fever for several days afterward. He was really badly beaten."

An'an is still a little scared when she thinks about this.

That was the first time he had ever seen his father be so cruel.

I was deeply impressed.

Chang Sheng's lips twitched, a hint of fear in his eyes. He thought to himself: What kind of family is this? Why do they beat their child so easily?

But I feel a little better now.

Because his parents weren't targeting him.

Although the ignorant Changsheng didn't understand any profound principles, he still grasped these words.

"Chang Sheng, did it hurt when you were beaten last time?" Wu Lang asked curiously. "I've never been beaten by my father before."

His tone was quite regretful.

Others: ...

Chi Tang's inner thoughts: Luckily, I've never been beaten by my dad, otherwise I would be so angry.

"Tch." Changsheng snorted twice, somewhat displeased. "What are you showing off for? My great-grandmother never hit me."

“But I wish my father would hit me…” Goro looked somewhat dejected.

He also hoped that his father would take good care of him, and there were times when he would get angry because he was too worried.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

An'an followed up with her reasoning: "Yes, I feel that Fourth Uncle doesn't care much about Fifth Brother. What parent or elder in the world doesn't care about their child's upbringing?"

"That's what they mean by 'jade must be carved to become a useful object.'" Chi Tang said, shaking her head and reciting a refined phrase to summarize the key point.

but……

Changsheng: "What do you mean?"

He can barely recognize a few characters now, but he hasn't studied any poetry or literature.

Chi Tang: "It's true that children won't amount to anything if they aren't disciplined. This is a saying of sages, so it must make a lot of sense."

"What a load of nonsense! I think this sage is just bored and has nothing better to do. Humph."

Changsheng pouted, clearly unhappy.

but……

"Auntie, who is this person called Shengxian? I'll have to teach him a lesson later."

What, have you never been a child yourself?

It's one thing for parents to hit their own children, but why should all parents and elders hit their children?

Who is this person?

This kind of person deserves a beating; if you beat them a few more times, they won't say things like that anymore.

Chi Tang: ...

“Chang Sheng, you should read more books. Sages are the most outstanding people in ancient times, the kind whose names are remembered for eternity,” An An said.

"How amazing is that?"

An'an replied, "Well, anyway, after you die, hundreds of years from now, no one will know who you are."

"Why would it take hundreds of years? Nobody would remember it in just a few decades."

Chi Tang added fuel to the fire.

Goro, who had also read the book, imitated Chi Tang by shaking his head and saying in a literary style: "History does not record useless people."

"Hmph! History remembers even sages who beat their children, so it will surely remember me!"

Changsheng was easily provoked and immediately patted his chest and started boasting.

Chi Tang rolled her eyes: "You? History will remember you for beating up your own brother, that's more like a bad reputation."

"It smells like poop."

Chang Sheng immediately became furious: "I can definitely do it!"

Goro said quietly, "How can you not go to school and study? It would be better if it were Brother Xiao Suotou, who studied so well."

"I'll study too! If I study, I'll definitely be better than him!"

Chang Sheng, defiant and unwilling to admit defeat, waved his arms.

Chi Tang, who was standing to the side, seemed to be eager to win and made a bet with Chang Sheng: "Okay, let's make a bet. If you can study obediently and not cause any trouble for seven days, your aunt will take you out to play!"

"real?"

Since arriving in Pinghe Town, Changsheng hasn't gone out even once.

Oh, but the last time I hit An'an and she secretly ran away doesn't count.

Terrified, the people who ran away were stunned and had no mind to look at the scenery around them.

"Of course. But to be fair, if you don't complete it, shouldn't you also give your aunt some conditions?"

"...What do you want?"

Changsheng asked.

Chi Tang pouted: "I haven't decided yet, let's talk about it later."

"Okay."

After standing there for a while, Sister-in-law Chi came to call them for dinner.

Chi Tang winked at Chi Da Sao, who suppressed a laugh.

Sure enough, my sister's method works better.

This is how you deal with a child like Changsheng.

Reasoning and fighting alone are useless.

The meal was prepared by Tian Niangzi and two cooks, and then Chi Dasao also made three delicious dishes.

Braised lion's head meatballs, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and salt and pepper chicken.

"Young Master Shen, this is my good friend, Mr. Liu Demiao," Old Man Chi introduced to Shen Nanxun.

The dinner was supposed to be a welcome dinner for Shen Nanxun, and now that there are outsiders at the table, it's natural to introduce them.
