Xiaoman smiled. "No."

Since that's not the case, then... Han Bin decided to ask when it was just him and Xiaoman alone. "Xiaoman, what do you think Naonao is talking about with that little girl right now?"

Xiaoman: "Your son is beating up that little girl right now."

"Beat her up? No way? Could it be... that you let Nao Nao be alone with that little girl just so Nao Nao could beat her up?"

Xiaoman: "Yeah. We're forcing Naonao to have a grandson for us, he must be feeling uncomfortable. I need to let him vent his anger. This whole thing was caused by that little girl, so it's her right to beat her up."

Han Bin stopped. It was a good thing that Nao Nao was able to vent his anger. However, "I just told that little girl that if Nao Nao hits him even once, I'll hit him ten times. Or, I'll wait for you outside the village."

Xiaoman glanced at Han Bin: "Nao Nao can't even handle a little girl?"

"That's true. Then I'll go with you."

When Xiaoman led Xiaohei, Hanbin, Tengteng, and her older sister in, Naonao was teaching Yueyue to recognize characters using the old textbooks of the little bear. The little bear was rolling around at their feet.

When Nao Nao saw Xiao Man and the others arrive, she stood up. "Dad, Mom."

Yueyue also stood up. "Aunt Wang, Uncle Han, please sit down. Brother Tengteng, Sister Jiejie, please sit down."

Han Bin: "Okay. Little girl, how many words has your brother taught you to recognize?"

When Chong Ling and Xiong Lin heard that Xiao Man and the others had returned, they came out of the kitchen.

Han Bin and Xiao Man chatted with Chong Ling and Xiong Lin for a while. The older sister played with the little bear for a bit. Then Xiao Man and the others said goodbye to Chong Ling, Xiong Lin, and Yue Yue.

After leaving Gu Yue's village, Xiao Man and the others went to say goodbye to the old village chief.

After seeing Xiaoman and the others off, Chongling and Xionglin, along with Yueyue and the little bear dumpling, went home.

As soon as they got home, Chong Ling grabbed Yueyue's ear and twisted it. "You brat! Why did you throw away the husband-raising Gu I gave you?"

Yueyue glanced at Xiong Lin and said, "Mother, I was wrong."

Chong Ling: "Of course you're wrong. Do you know that you almost... Tell me, why did you throw away your Husband Gu?"

Yueyue remembered what Xiaoman had said: "Mother, I don't want to use the Husband Gu to control others. The Husband Gu can control other people's bodies, but it can't control their hearts."

Chong Ling was taken aback. "Why would you say that? How old are you? Did someone say something to you?"

"No. I just don't want to use Gu to control others. Mother, you shouldn't use Gu to control others either."

"Mother did not use Gu to control others."

Yueyue looked at Chongling and said, "Really? Mother, did my grandparents raise a husband-raising Gu for you?"

"have."

"Then why haven't I seen it before?"

“Of course you haven’t seen it. Mother’s Husband Gu…” Chong Ling stopped there.

Yueyue: "Mother, where is your Husband Gu?"

"My husband curse is of course... of course it's on your father."

Yueyue blinked: "Mother, didn't you say you didn't use Gu to control others? Mother, please remove the Gu from Father's body."

After Yueyue finished speaking, Chongling and Xionglin both fell silent.

Chong Ling asked herself: Should I remove the curse from him?

Xiong Lin also asked himself: Should I ask her to remove the curse from me?

If Nao Nao hadn't been afflicted by Yue Yue's "husband curse," he would definitely have asked Chong Ling to remove it. Now, Yue Yue will most likely marry Nao Nao when she grows up. Even if she doesn't marry Nao Nao, she'll still have a child with him. With this connection, Xiao Man will definitely help him out.

After a while, Chong Ling looked at Xiong Lin and said, "How about I remove the Gu from your body?"

Xiong Lin: "No. I still want to have a few more sons. Boss Wang has five sons. We only have one." Xiong Lin weighed the pros and cons, still feeling that the curse couldn't be lifted. First, if he let Chong Ling lift the curse, Chong Ling might suspect him of having ulterior motives. Second, Xiao Man said she wouldn't be related to someone of questionable character by marriage. If the curse was lifted, he could sleep with other women. Although he wouldn't have children with other women, there was no guarantee that something else might happen. If something did happen, Xiao Man wouldn't be related to him by marriage. In-laws are proper relatives, while the father of a concubine is nothing.

Right now, nothing is more important to Xiong Lin than doing business. Although he could also do business with Ugly Girl, why should he settle for Ugly Girl's small tree when he has the opportunity to rely on Xiao Man, a powerful figure?

Xiong Lin has a peculiar trait: once he sets his mind on something, he becomes single-minded and focused solely on that. Back then, when he wanted to marry Chong Ling, his father would have killed him if he hadn't wanted to. Now, he wants to venture out into the world, and everything else has to take a backseat to that. Such people are prone to extremes, but they are also prone to success.

Chong Ling was pleased to hear Xiong Lin's words. "One son is a bit few."

Yueyue was surprised by Xiong Lin's words. "Father, didn't you... didn't you want my mother to remove the curse from your body? Didn't you say that having me and my brother was enough?"

“Uh…” Xiong Lin thought for a moment, “Dad originally thought it was enough. But after learning that your Aunt Wang’s family has six children, Dad felt that our family has too few children.”

Chong Ling: "Indeed, there are few."

Yueyue glanced at Xiong Lin. Since he didn't want to remove the curse, it seemed he wouldn't secretly run away with Ugly Girl anymore. Although Xiaoman had told her that her father wouldn't run away again, Yueyue didn't know Xiaoman's abilities. She didn't know that for Xiaoman, dealing with Xiong Lin was easier than stepping on an ant. Now, seeing that Xiong Lin didn't even want to remove the curse, Yueyue was completely relieved. "Mother, can you let go of my ears now?"

Chong Ling pinched Yueyue's ear again before letting go: "You brat! In the future, discuss everything with us before you do anything. Don't do things on your own. You were lucky to run into your Aunt Wang this time; if it had been someone else, you might be dead already."

While rubbing her ears, Yueyue said, "I originally wanted to discuss it with you, but I was afraid you wouldn't agree."

Chong Ling glared at Yueyue: "How do you know I disagree when you haven't even said anything?"

"My father wanted to start a business, but he discussed it with you for two or three years and you still didn't agree."

Chong Ling: "Your father has never run a business before."

Yueyue: "Ugly Auntie has never run a business before."

Chong Ling: "Ugly Auntie is full all by herself, so the whole family isn't hungry."

Yueyue looked at Chongling and said, "Mother, I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I secretly threw away my husband's Gu. If you don't let my father go into business, he might secretly follow someone else into business too."

Xiong Lin's eyelid twitched. If Yueyue had said he secretly went off to do business, Xiong Lin's eyelid wouldn't have twitched. But Yueyue said he secretly followed someone else to do business. "Yueyue, don't talk nonsense."

Yueyue: "I'm not lying. Mom, if you don't let Dad go into business, he really will leave with someone else."
