Chapter 180 His leg is healed?
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
They have improved after all; at least they know when they're angry.
However, thinking about what he had just realized, Jiang Nuanzhi's anger still couldn't dissipate.
"Do you really think that overly indulgent mothers spoil their children? Do you think I can't be too good to my children and that I'll spoil them? Do you think that fighting means you have to get beaten? That children will grow up on their own?"
Although Li Rong's words carried a hint of earnest advice, Jiang Nuanzhi still understood the meaning behind them.
“I really know I was wrong. I will carefully consider this matter this time. If something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely find out the truth before punishing anyone.” After thinking for a moment, he added, “It is the father’s fault for not raising his child properly. Why don’t you punish me as well?”
If it were anyone else, Jiang Nuanzhi would probably think this person was talking nonsense, but Li Rong had the ability to make such absurd things sound so serious. He even took a rattan cane and stuffed it into Jiang Nuanzhi's hand.
Jiang Nuanzhi fell silent for a moment, unsure of how to proceed.
I don't know what kind of thought process this is. If a child makes a mistake, it's not right for the father to hit the child with a rattan cane.
He simply threw away the rattan cane and said, "I have something else to tell you."
Li Rong nervously touched his nose: "Go on."
I've thought about it several times in my mind: have I also failed to take good care of the two younger siblings?
He originally thought that although the children's living conditions were a bit difficult, he was a responsible father and that daily education was not a problem.
But after hearing Jiang Nuanzhi's words, he felt inexplicably guilty.
"Today I went to Ping'er's academy and got into a fight with someone."
Jiang Nuanzhi wanted to see the man's attitude before carefully considering how she would treat him in the future.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong's brows furrowed instantly.
"Fighting? You're going to fight?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shrugged: "What? I can't fight?"
Li Rong: "What I mean is, with your skinny arms and legs, how could you fight?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "..."
For a fleeting moment, she wanted to thank Li Rong for describing her with terms like "slender arms and legs."
However, Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at her own arms and legs and thought they weren't exactly thin. She looked at Li Rong suspiciously. Was he really not being sarcastic?
Li Rong looked Jiang Nuanzhi up and down for a while before frowning and asking, "Are you injured? Were you bullied? How did you end up fighting with someone?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "I wasn't injured, but the people I hit were badly hurt. I knocked out one of their front teeth. I hit them pretty hard; those two are adult men, and front teeth don't grow back. Their faces were also beaten up like pig heads."
Li Rong was stunned for a moment. No one had ever spoken so arrogantly about hitting someone in front of him, with such a proud tone.
In the past, when there were fights among soldiers, he would never ask why; he would simply drag them away and give them twenty lashes, and that would calm them down.
But this wasn't in the army, and this person wasn't his subordinate; it was his wife. He stared at Jiang Nuanzhi for a long time, scratching his head, before finally managing to stammer, "You...you have your reasons. If you can't beat me, you can call me later."
After thinking about it for a moment, he felt something was amiss: "Did Ping'er get into trouble at the academy? Did you... encounter any difficulties today?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Look, here we go again. When I get into a fight, you think about whether I'm in danger or not, and you think I have my reasons. But when Ping'er gets into a fight, why do you instinctively think he's in the wrong? What if he's in trouble?"
Li Rong, seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's angry expression, reached out and patted her shoulder after a while: "You... don't be angry. This time I really understand what you said. I will never respond so rashly again. Talk to Ping'er more." As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Nuanzhi curiously: "You said all this just to warn me, and you didn't actually fight, right?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head: "That's not the case. I did get into a fight today. It's because I ran into two disgusting men at the academy gate. They harassed me and verbally abused me. I couldn't stand it and fought back."
As she spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi said with considerable regret, "It's a pity that those two are students of Gu Kui Academy, and they don't look very old. They also seem to be related to the academy's dean. It's not good to offend them now. Otherwise, I would have broken their legs so they would never dare to cause trouble again."
"Teasing you?"
Li Rong's aura suddenly turned cold. He stood up abruptly, grabbed the longbow hanging on the wall, turned around and went out the door: "Although I, Li Rong, am down on my luck, killing two petty scoundrels is not difficult."
Jiang Nuanzhi stared wide-eyed, covering her mouth for a while before she came to her senses: "His...his leg is healed?"
Simber was equally surprised: "His...his leg is healed?"
Even the expression on his face as he covered his mouth was exactly the same as Jiang Nuanzhi's. It was even hard to tell whether he was genuinely surprised at that moment.
The old man, stroking his chin, secretly approached Jiang Nuanzhi and said, "I told you, he's no good. He's always pretending to be something he's not. His leg might have healed a long time ago; he's just been fooling us."
In a fit of impulse, Li Rong rushed out the door, but a short while later, he returned angrily with a bow and arrows in hand: "What are the names of those two beasts who harassed you? Where do they live?"
As soon as he asked the question, he sensed that something was off.
After he came to his senses, he glanced at his leg with difficulty, froze, shifted a couple of times, and then sat back down in his wheelchair in a daze: "My leg, somehow, is all better. Hehehe, this is really something to celebrate, isn't it?"
He said this, then gave an awkward laugh twice.
However, the atmosphere around them remained eerily quiet.
All three of them stared at him intently.
Li Rong swallowed hard. "Um, you guys don't actually think my leg is all healed already, do you? I really don't know why it got better."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked Li Rong up and down and then took his hands.
After taking her pulse, there were still faint signs of blockage in her lower limbs. Jiang Nuanzhi frowned and looked at Li Rong: "When did you get better?"
After stammering for a while, Li Rong suddenly said, "Isn't it great that it's better? I just wanted to tell you all when it's even better, so that everyone can be happy."
"Um, you should tell me first who bullied you, and I'll go get it for you."
"No need!"
Jiang Nuanzhi interrupted him directly and turned to leave.
Li Rong was taken aback and instinctively wanted to chase after it, but the wheelchair was not very good and turned too slowly.
"Hey, are you stupid? Why are you in a wheelchair if you can't walk?" The old man couldn't help but roll his eyes. "This kid is quite good at pretending. I've been watching him every day and haven't seen anything amiss!"
Li Rong was momentarily stunned, then immediately stood up. After thinking for a moment, he turned back to retrieve the wheelchair.
At the same time, a sudden scream was heard, and then several children tumbled spectacularly out of the doorway of the next room. This included Ping'er, who was still being punished.
Clearly, they weren't behaving themselves next door either; they were constantly listening intently to what was happening outside. It's impossible to know how much they overheard.
Li Rong obviously didn't care about any of that and rushed forward to grab Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Anuan, listen to me. I really didn't mean to hide it from you."
"Let go." Jiang Nuanzhi frowned.
Li Rong: "Are you angry?"
"Yes, I'm very angry." Jiang Nuanzhi said calmly, "But I'm not a little girl, I don't need you to coax me. Also, I'm really angry right now, I'll come and talk to you in detail after I've calmed down, you'd better not wander around me right now, or I'll beat you up."
As she said this, she waved her fist with a cool look in her eyes.
Li Rong stared at the chubby little fist, momentarily stunned: "Anuan, I have my reasons, I can explain."
“But I don’t want to hear it right now.” Jiang Nuanzhi ignored him completely and beckoned to Ping’er: “Ping’er, come here and come out with me.”
Ping'er's Diary: Daddy punished me today, hee hee.
Daddy made Mommy angry today, hehe.
Li Rong: Come on, you little brat, feel my slap, hehe?
Jiang Nuanzhi: Li Rong!
Li Rong: "." (No, not at all!)
