When his master hit him back then, it was much harder than this one blow he received today.
During that period, he even thought that his master had a grudge against him and was beating him to death.
Later, he gradually came to understand his master's good intentions. The saying "a strict teacher produces outstanding students" was not just a saying.
As a father, Li Wenxuan himself didn't want to hit his son, but without a few slaps, he wouldn't remember some things.
Having acquired a photographic memory, Li Wenxuan became somewhat arrogant, showing no respect for knowledge and believing he could learn anything even while lying down. Hopefully, he'll remember this cane punishment.
Li Chu pointed to the medicine cabinet in front of him: "Wenxuan, in the leftmost column, taste a bit of each medicine in each medicine cabinet first, and write down your feelings after taking the medicine. However, you can't just take it randomly. The content you memorized before contains information on which medicines are mutually reinforcing and which medicines are poisonous, but which medicines can neutralize the toxicity. Think it through carefully first."
"Okay, Dad!"
"Okay, once you've thought everything through and are ready, then start tasting. Don't eat big bites, just a little bit, enough to taste it, don't stuff it into your mouth like you're eating meat."
"Pfft," Li Wenxuan laughed at his last sentence.
"You can still laugh, not bad! Let's begin. What I just mentioned was today's homework. I want to see the results tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Li Chu walked out of the pharmacy with his hands behind his back.
After his father left, Li Wenxuan reached out to rub his bottom, but the pain almost made him cry out.
That's too cruel. Is this really his father?
Oh no, now I can't even sit down.
He could only grit his teeth and walk to the medicine cabinet, looking at the row of medicine bins his father had just pointed out to him.
First, you need to identify what kind of medicine it is, and then determine the order of administration based on its properties.
While he was pondering this, Li Chu had already returned to the living room.
He just took Li Wenxuan to the front for the assessment, and none of the women in the family went with him.
Seeing him approach, she finally showed concern in her eyes.
He didn't say anything, but simply took a bottle of medicine from under the coffee table and threw it into Wang Yueyue's hand.
"Yueyue, I just hit Wenxuan with a rattan cane, and he probably can't sit down anymore. Could you apply some medicine to him later?"
Wang Yueyue jumped up from the sofa like a rabbit.
"Dad Chu, why did you hit Brother Xuan?"
"Go ask your brother Xuan!"
Ding Qiunan and Li Wenhui both stood up, wanting to go and see what was going on.
"You two shouldn't go. I've got a cigarette stuck in my butt. What do you think of that?"
"Li Chu, what do you mean? That's my son, what's wrong with me checking on him?"
Do you think he'd be so embarrassed to let you see it?
"Well……"
Ding Qiunan thought about it and realized it made sense. Her son was already twenty, a grown man, how could he possibly be willing to take off his pants in front of his mother and sister?
They glanced at their daughter, then sat down again.
"Huh? Something's not right." Ding Qiunan realized something was wrong after sitting down and immediately grabbed Li Chu's ear.
Why did you hit my son?
"Ouch... Be gentle! I can't hit him just because he's not studying properly? I told him back then that I didn't want him to study with me, and you all advised me against it. Now I can't even discipline him. Maybe he shouldn't study at all."
Li Chu was actually quite frustrated. On the one hand, he naturally hoped that his son could learn all his medical skills. On the other hand, he felt sorry for his son. Putting aside everything else, just considering the drug trials, he had been through a lot of trouble back then, and now it was his son's turn.
He even told his son how to take it, something his master hadn't told him when he was testing the medicine.
I just watched him eat it, completely clueless.
As a result, one day they were poisoned and the next day they had an allergic reaction. Not to mention the physical pain they suffered, they also had to endure constant verbal attacks from their master.
Finally, they would be whipped with rattan canes, and that's how they spent the entire six months.
So today it was his son's turn, and he was unwilling to do it either. He didn't want his child to go through the same suffering he had endured.
But if you want to learn, then you have to take responsibility for it all.
Ding Qiunan silently withdrew her hand. She remembered that her husband doted on the children even more than she did. He had spoiled both of their children. If it weren't for teaching their son traditional Chinese medicine, he would never have hit the children.
On the other side, Li Wenhui, who had just wanted to join her mother in questioning her father, stuck out her tongue upon seeing this and sat there obediently, not daring to say a word.
Ding Qiunan took her husband's hand and said, "Oh, don't be angry. Take it slow. Wenxuan is so smart, he'll definitely learn it quickly."
"Sigh, I hope so! To be honest, I really don't want my children to go through the same hardships I went through back then. That's why I never told them to follow my example. I just never expected that they would still end up on this path."
"Dad," Li Wenhui said from the side, "my younger brother will definitely study hard."
"You're right, and I believe he'll study hard, but the process is really tough!"
"Tap tap tap," Wang Yueyue came back with a pout. She was about to say something when Wen Hui covered her mouth and whispered something in her ear. Only then did the little girl sit back on the sofa, somewhat indignant.
She was heartbroken. Good heavens, that bloody mark on Xuan-gege's butt almost made her explode!
"Yueyue, don't look at me like that. This path was chosen by your brother Xuan himself. Since he made a mistake, he should take the punishment. I only hit him once this time. If he doesn't take it seriously in the future, it won't be resolved with just one hit. So instead of feeling sorry for him, you should help him think of a way to help him focus on his studies!"
God's Arrival
"But Father Chu, you hit me too hard! The bloodstains are so deep!"
"Hehe," Li Chu chuckled, "If I don't hit him hard the first time, I'm afraid he won't remember!"
“Yueyue, Dad is only doing this for Wenxuan’s own good. I’ve also noticed that Wenxuan seems to think he can memorize anything faster than others, and he’s starting to lose interest in his studies. You should try to persuade him more often when you’re with him.”
Li Wenhui put her arm around Wang Yueyue's shoulder and said something quite earnest.
Although the children in the family were all spoiled as they grew up, they all understood the principles of life and were not arrogant because of their pampering.
Wang Yueyue began to think seriously about her sister's words.
That seems to make sense. It seems like Brother Xuan hasn't been paying much attention to his studies lately.
"Dad Chu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that!"
"Why are you apologizing to me? I know you feel sorry for Wenxuan, and I also hope you can keep a closer eye on him. You two are both in the process of studying, so you can't just think about having fun; you need to make progress together."
