Shang Ganwen was still sitting there in a daze when Cui Hui quickly nudged him and said angrily, "Hurry up and go, are you going to keep your grandpa waiting for you?"
Shang Ganwen was in a daze. He stood up blankly and walked towards Shang Huaiguo's direction. Behind him, his mother's incessant nagging could still be heard, "Think carefully about what you've done wrong recently, you brat, you're such a worry."
Shang Ganwen tried hard to recall, but he didn't seem to have done anything recently.
Shang Huaiguo pulled Shang Ganwen into the courtyard and gave him a good workout.
Do you know where you went wrong?
Shang Ganwen, exhausted and panting heavily, shook his head.
"Who told you your third uncle was coming back? And who did you tell?" Shang Huaiguo frowned at him, his expression stern.
Shang Ganwen froze, his mind finally snapping back to reality, and then he broke out in a cold sweat.
He overheard it by chance while passing by the study, but left after only hearing a couple of sentences.
"Sir, I... I was wrong." Shang Ganwen bowed his head in repentance.
Shang Huaiguo said coldly, "Shang Ganwen, go back and copy the family rules one hundred times. From now on, practice for one hour every night. If you violate them again..."
"No, I definitely won't do it again." The young man was somewhat remorseful; he was practically swearing an oath to the heavens.
"Hmph, you'd better watch yourself." Shang Huaiguo snorted coldly and turned to leave.
He was also at fault; he didn't realize someone overheard him, especially since he was at home in a comfortable environment and became careless. He should go back and punish himself. Oh, and his eldest son too; he wasn't alert either, so he should be punished as well.
Shang Ganwen didn't stop slumping to the ground until he could no longer see his back.
"Ganwen, what's wrong? What did you do wrong?" Shang Hanwen sneaked out from the flower bushes and reached out to pull Shang Ganwen up.
"Stop asking." Shang Ganwen said with a bitter face, not daring to say another word.
Shang Hanwen was displeased. "Hey, you little brat, I can't even tell you, and you're making up some kind of confidentiality agreement..."
Shang Ganwen looked at him with a look of utter despair.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it then." Shang Hanwen assumed he was just embarrassed and didn't press him further.
Shang Hanwen helped Shang Ganwen back to the living room, where Shang Ganwen received a series of loving cares from his grandmother, aunt, and uncle, which he felt he could not bear.
"I'm going back to my room to copy the family rules," Shang Ganwen said, and then ran off in a flash.
The people left in the living room looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This child has indeed caused trouble." Cui Hui smiled apologetically at Shan Zhishu. "Mom, please talk to Dad about it later. The child is so irresponsible and has made Dad worry."
Shan Zhishu nodded, "I understand, don't worry. It's just that he caused trouble and was punished by copying the family rules. Gan Wen is usually very sensible, he'll change in the future."
Liu Yun also comforted them, saying that they had been sisters-in-law for more than ten years and had gotten along very well, with almost no conflicts.
Cui Hui also felt it was no big deal, since she had already been punished, so she continued to happily eat sunflower seeds.
It wasn't until the next day, when her son went to the yard to practice again, that she realized her father-in-law had not only punished him by making him copy the family rules, but also by making him practice every day.
She immediately felt a pang of anxiety and hurriedly asked her son what he had done wrong. Of course, Shang Ganwen wouldn't tell her, and she didn't dare ask her father-in-law. She could only wait anxiously until her husband, Shang Zilu, returned from his leave, and finally found her pillar of support, venting all her worries from the past few weeks.
After listening to Cui Hui's tearful complaint, Shang Zilu went to find Shang Ganwen, and then Shang Ganwen was punished by his father again.
Cui Hui was confused, but Shang Zilu comforted her, "It's okay, kids just need more practice."
Cui Hui glared at him fiercely, then looked somewhat guilty at her son who was practicing horse stance.
She seems to have meant well but made things worse. I'm so sorry, son.
Su Xiao was naturally unaware of the series of events that occurred to the merchants because of her revelation.
She waited with great joy after learning that Shang Ziming was about to return.
A few days later, one day, Hua Shancheng was invited by the dean. When he returned, he looked serious, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to be preoccupied.
"Master, what happened?" Su Xiao naturally wanted to ask.
Hua Shancheng looked at Su Xiao with a hint of hesitation that was hard to put into words.
Su Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling. "Master, just say what you have to say. Don't hide anything from me."
Hua Shancheng blinked and sighed softly, "Dean Jin asked me to go to the Northwest, saying that there is a patient in a hospital there whose condition is quite serious."
"Where in the Northwest?" Su Xiao's heart pounded like a drum, and the hand holding the pen was already tingling with bruises.
Hua Shancheng was stunned for a moment when she asked that question.
"Can I come with you?" Su Xiao asked solemnly, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes. "I can help you. Besides, you're getting on in years, and I don't feel comfortable letting you travel so far by yourself."
Faced with Su Xiao's reaction, Hua Shancheng's eyes darted away, and he stammered, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Don't you have to go to class? Yes, you can't go, you have to go to class."
Hua Shancheng seemed to have finally found an excuse, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded confidently to affirm himself.
"Master, what happened? Tell me the truth, don't hide it from me." Su Xiao had an absolute keen sense of things. Judging from Hua Shancheng's evasive behavior, although she was reluctant to think the worst, she still asked, "Is it Shang Ziming or my brother who's in trouble?"
In this world, there are not many people connected to her, not many people she cares about.
In the Northwest, Shang Ziming and Su Qiang are both there.
Hua Shancheng's eyes flickered slightly, and finally he sighed and said heavily, "It's Shang Zimu, who has been injured and unconscious for more than half a month."
boom!
Su Xiao felt like her head was being exploded and buzzing, and she seemed to be unable to hear anything.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, don't worry, Shang Ziming will definitely be alright." Hua Shancheng called out anxiously to Su Xiao.
After a long while, Su Xiao finally came to her senses and said to Hua Shancheng, who looked anxious, "I'm fine. Master, when are you leaving? I'll go ask for leave."
The Northwest is a place she absolutely must go.
“The train leaves early tomorrow morning.” Hua Shancheng finally gave in, always thinking of her best interests. “I’ll talk to the principal about the leave.”
Su Xiao looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Master."
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with your master?" Hua Shancheng stroked his beard, his face full of disapproval.
Su Xiao forced a smile, but it lasted less than a second before it drooped again.
With something on her mind, Su Xiao felt that today was the longest day ever. She forced herself to finish the doctor's appointment and then hurriedly went home to pack her things.
Everything that needs to be brought should be organized. There will definitely be more than just them going this time. We don't know what the situation will be like in the Northwest.
Hua Shancheng went to see Principal Huang in person. After saying something, he returned with a piece of paper in his hand.
