"I don't know if you've gone stupid from studying too much. You keep having all sorts of weird images popping into your head. I think you're still not quite clear-headed, are you?"
"Dad, Mom, I told you I'd take her to the doctor, but you wouldn't. Now look what's happened, she's started talking nonsense!"
Just as Xu Haoxuan was explaining, Aunt Cai had already stealthily crept up behind him.
Then, with a "smack," the mantra talisman was swiftly and accurately slapped onto Xu Haoxuan's back.
The moment the mantra was applied, Xu Haoxuan, who had been babbling incessantly in defense of himself just a second ago, suddenly fell silent.
It was as if a switch had been flipped, and his mouth suddenly became uncontrollable.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Cai immediately beamed with joy.
Wow, the feeling of slapping talisman paper is really strange!
However, her joy lasted only a second before she snapped back to reality and hurriedly asked Xu Haoxuan.
"Xu Haoxuan, tell me the truth! Did you choke Nannan unconscious that day? Tell me everything that happened that day!"
Because Aunt Cai placed the mantra talisman behind Xu Haoxuan, and Xu Haoxuan's parents were standing in a position where they could not see what was happening behind their son.
They only saw Aunt Cai make a gesture toward her son's back, and then she asked him these questions.
The couple thought to themselves, "Our son just said that, so no matter whether he did it or not, he definitely won't admit it."
Unless the son is mentally unstable, he wouldn't deny it one second and admit it the next.
Although their son isn't very good at studying, he's actually quite smart; he just doesn't like to focus on his studies!
However, just as the couple had begun to feel relieved, an unexpected incident occurred.
Their "clever-minded" son recounted everything that happened that day, admitting how he got so angry that he went into Nan Nan's room while she was out studying, destroyed her precious study materials, and even read her diary.
After reading Nan Nan's diary, he felt angry and a little panicked at the same time because of Nan Nan's behavior of trying to escape from their home and avoid him after going to college.
Although he always felt that his older sister was "pretending" and deliberately playing the role of a well-behaved student, which made him seem even more ignorant and incompetent, he disliked her very much.
But he also understood it in his heart.
She studied hard, and if she gets into a good university and finds a good job, she'll definitely be able to earn a lot of money.
As long as she has money, he, as her younger brother, will always benefit from it.
After all, with his parents keeping an eye on things, he didn't believe she wouldn't spend the money she had on him.
So he doesn't need to work hard at all; he can just enjoy the fruits of her labor.
In his eyes, Xu Pannan, although his own sister, was actually just a "blood bag" for him to use as a slave.
But to his surprise, Xu Pannan had secretly decided to go to university and not come back. Was she planning to run away?!
She's here to make money for him.
What if she grows up and flies away, never to return? What will he do then?!
In a fit of anger, Xu Haoxuan decided to punish her to teach her a lesson and completely dispel this ridiculous idea.
The punishment cannot be too lenient, because if it is too lenient, it will not only fail to teach her a lesson, but may also incite her to become even more rebellious.
So Xu Haoxuan decided to use the "putting a sack behind her back" method to give Xu Pannan a good beating and beat her into submission.
But when that moment actually came, seeing Xu Pannan dare to defy him, his mind was almost entirely consumed by resentment and rage. His hands seemed to have a mind of their own, constantly exerting force, wanting to strangle this traitor, Xu Pannan.
He only snapped back to reality when she finally fainted.
Looking at Xu Pannan lying on the ground, fear and dread finally overwhelmed her.
He thought he had strangled Xu Pannan to death, but after he frantically checked her breathing and found that she was still alive, he was relieved.
He didn't dare stay in Xu Pannan's room any longer and immediately fled the scene.
He waited until his parents came home before going home with them.
When he returned home with his parents, he found that Xu Pannan had already woken up. He felt a pang of anxiety, thinking that Xu Pannan was about to tell his parents.
Although he knew that even if Xu Pannan told him that he had almost strangled her to death, his parents would at most scold him and wouldn't do anything to him.
But even knowing this, he was still very scared.
But to his utter surprise, Xu Pannan woke up, but she was mentally impaired!
He didn't recognize anyone, couldn't speak, and was like a complete idiot, knowing nothing at all.
At that moment, Xu Haoxuan felt no sadness or disappointment at his older sister becoming mentally challenged; instead, he felt only smugness and relief.
Although Xu Pannan has become mentally impaired and can no longer get into a good university or make a lot of money, at least she can no longer tell anyone that she almost strangled her.
And even if she becomes stupid now, it doesn't matter. She's a young, unmarried woman, and plenty of men will want her.
At worst, I can just marry her off to someone else and get some money in return.
Afterwards, Xu Haoxuan made a special observation to prevent Xu Pannan from pretending to be stupid.
Fortunately, after careful observation, he confirmed that Xu Pannan was indeed mentally impaired.
So he completely put aside his worries and started to dominate the house again.
Even when his parents suggested taking Xu Pannan to see a doctor, he deliberately guided them, saying that she clearly had a problem with her brain and that it was absolutely incurable, and that even if she were to be treated, it would definitely cost a lot of money.
The key issue is that even if you spend money, you're not guaranteed to get cured.
They also said that Xu Pannan is now useless, so it would be better to save the money for him in the future.
Who knows, maybe when he's in his senior year of high school, he'll suddenly make a name for himself and get into university?
Even if he still fails to get into university, spending money on a normal person like him is more valuable than spending it on a fool like Xu Pannan.
His parents thought about what he said carefully and found it to make a lot of sense.
That's why, after taking Xu Pannan for a quick check-up in town and hearing the doctor say that she needed to go to a large hospital in the city for a more detailed examination, I immediately decided not to continue her treatment.
Her condition is definitely just as her son said; whether it can be cured or not is another matter, but the key is that it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of their effort.
Anyway, all things considered, Xu Pannan is already eighteen years old.
They've done more than enough by raising her to adulthood. Now that she's turned out this way, they, as her parents and family, simply don't have the ability to change her, and there's nothing they can do.
If she doesn't improve after a while, they'll have no choice but to find her a suitable marriage and have her marry him.
As for what will happen to Xu Pannan after she marries him, that's beyond their control.
After all, Xu Pannan had already married into another family by then, and was now someone else's person, so they couldn't control her anymore.
Xu Haoxuan thought that Xu Pannan's final fate would be as he imagined: she would marry into another family and bring back a dowry for him.
Unexpectedly, Xu Pannan was cured by Aunt Cai, who was so nosy, and even called the police!
