Not long after they returned home, Xia arrived with her two children, and just as she had said, she brought dishes she had made herself.
Xia's cooking skills are excellent; the aroma was incredibly enticing when the food box was opened.
He Jiuniang introduced the people to her family. The three of them seemed a little reserved, but fortunately, the children in the family were quite enthusiastic and soon took the two children over to play.
Knowing Xia's situation, Mrs. Sun empathized with her and repeatedly told her how difficult it was for a woman to raise a child alone. Xia felt the old lady's kindness and relaxed a lot.
Lu Baichuan hadn't returned yet, so everyone chatted and waited for him before eating.
Meanwhile, the children were also chatting away.
Because He Jiuniang had given her instructions, Lianhua took the initiative and kept talking to Xia Yulan, telling her about the problems she might encounter when doing business and how to solve them.
Xia Yulan originally thought that doing business was just a simple transaction, but she never expected that there was so much to learn. Why would customers deliberately make things difficult for them? How should they deal with this situation? And what should they do if their products had a problem?
At first, she was just interested, but as she listened, she began to study seriously. For a complete beginner, this was extremely important, and most people wouldn't teach it.
The three of them, including Lianhua, had figured it out on their own back then, but now they were telling her about it without reservation, which was truly touching.
"Lotus, you're so kind, thank you! I'll definitely learn from you tomorrow!"
Xia Yulan sincerely admired Lianhua. No wonder her mother said that the children of the Lu family were good. She didn't believe it before, thinking that she was not bad either, but now it seems that she is indeed not as good as Lianhua.
If she were the one who mastered these skills first, Xia Yulan didn't know if she would have taught Lianhua so unreservedly.
She admitted that she was the selfish one.
But from Lotus, she learned selflessness.
Lotus also had a good impression of her, saying, "It's nothing. You'll definitely feel uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it over time. Take it slow, and we'll improve together."
Yuya pouted, "Waaah, I want to be with Sister Lotus too!"
She was the youngest and should have received help from her older siblings, but her aunt insisted on separating them. She could only ask her older siblings for help when she returned at night. She was still a novice herself, yet she was expected to learn how to guide others. She was very anxious.
Lianhua hugged her and said, "Youyou, you've done a great job! Your aunt let you lead the group, which means she recognizes your abilities. Keep up the good work!"
Youya was still depressed and couldn't cheer up. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of the child and would embarrass her uncle and aunt.
Seeing that she was really unhappy, Lianhua said, "Didn't your aunt say that if they don't listen to you, you should beat them until they submit?"
Youya was taken aback by the reaction, but Xia Yulan next to her was startled. Was it really that ruthless?
Realizing she had frightened Xia Yulan, Lianhua quickly explained, "I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the others. They're about the same age as us, and they might bully Youyou because she's younger. That's why I said we have to beat them until they submit."
Xia Yulan finally came to her senses, but still said, "But Miss Youyou is so young, can she win?"
Lianhua looked at Xia Yulan, then at Youya, and said, "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a problem."
Encouraged, Youya said to Xia Yulan, "We practice martial arts with Uncle San every morning. Although I'm not very good, I can still beat a few people who don't know martial arts."
Yes, what I'm afraid of is that the other side also knows martial arts.
However, He Jiuniang would definitely not arrange for someone capable to be with Youya, otherwise it would be difficult to discipline her.
Xia Yulan was extremely surprised. Looking at the two beautiful girls in front of her, she couldn't tell at all that they were martial arts practitioners.
The girls were having a great time chatting, while the boys were almost coming to blows.
The reason is that after a group of kids learned that Xia Chenhao wanted to join the Fire Cloud Division, they all got excited and wanted to fight with him.
Because the Fire Cloud Division was also their dream, but no one dared to mention it. However, Xia Chenhao was able to boldly express his thoughts, which they greatly admired.
The fact that he dared to have such an idea showed that he was very confident in his abilities, and the children were instantly eager to try.
This was unexpected for Xia Chenhao. He looked at them with some surprise and asked, "Do you also practice martial arts?"
The children nodded, and Gou'er said, "Sister Lotus and Sister Youyou learned it too!"
Xia Chenhao was even more surprised. As expected of Lord Lu's family, they actually require everyone to learn martial arts.
Before he could speak, Gou'er asked excitedly, "Brother Chenhao, can I challenge you?"
"ah?"
Xia Chenhao was in a dilemma. The dog looked only four or five years old, a tiny little thing, while he was fourteen years old. Wasn't this bullying the younger one?
"Brother Chenhao, say something!"
The dog nudged his hand excitedly, clearly impatient.
"We're so different, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Xia Chenhao did not forget that he was a guest, and the young master in front of him was Lord Lu's only son. If he hurt him, Lord Lu would be angry and how could he let him into the Fire Cloud Division?
"It's alright. We spar with each other all the time. Although Gou'er is young, he was one of the first to start learning martial arts. Sometimes even we are no match for him. Don't underestimate him."
Lei Zi was the one speaking, and everyone around him nodded in agreement.
Lei Zi and Lu Xiaoyang could hold their own against Gou'er, but Jie Zi and Hu Zi were somewhat inferior and were often beaten by Gou'er until they howled.
Hearing this, Xia Chenhao's worldview collapsed. How could such a young child fight against Lei Zi and Lu Xiaoyang?
Are they sure they didn't give the dog water?
Encouraged by everyone, Xia Chenhao agreed to a one-on-one fight with Gou'er, but he was still a little cautious. He thought that he was just playing with a child, and it would be difficult to handle if he made Lord Lu's son cry.
"Dog, I'll let you have a chance."
"Need not!"
The dog looked him in the eye and instantly seemed like a different person, not at all as soft and cute as before.
Before Xia Chenhao could say anything, Gou'er swiftly attacked him. Xia Chenhao was startled by its speed and instantly believed Lei Zi's words; this little guy was not to be underestimated.
What happened next made Xia Chenhao question the meaning of life.
The dog was small and not very strong, so his hits didn't hurt much. But the key was that he was fast and could find his weaknesses, specifically hitting those places that hurt a lot without much effort, tormenting Xia Chenhao.
However, Gou'er knew that Xia Chenhao was a guest and couldn't be bullied too much, so he stopped when he saw that Xia Chenhao couldn't take it anymore.
Xia Chenhao involuntarily took two steps back, beginning to question the meaning of life...
