Chapter 25 Three Axes
The farce ended perfectly. Apart from the fact that the Jiang father and son were treated rather pitifully, and the children having an unwilling aunt of a different surname, there was nothing else that happened.
However, the brutal methods of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family were widely circulated in the backyard of Maocheng for a while.
Of course, this little thing was completely out of the Jiang family's sight. She was currently squatting in the martial arts training ground she had just cleaned up, staring blankly at her father.
"Tell me again, old man, what moves are you going to teach us?"
Jiang Huailiang carried his big axe and turned his head to look at the sky embarrassedly.
Jiang Han, who was squatting beside his sister, blinked and looked at the axe his father was holding, with a look of resentment on his little face.
"Dad, is there a possibility that my elder sister and I are both girls? If you let us two girls carry axes and go out to fight, will anyone hear it if it gets out?"
"What's wrong with the axe? Look how impressive this thing is! I'm sure it'll blow his head off with one blow!"
Hearing his daughter despise his magic weapon, the father couldn't help but try to save face.
"Don't underestimate this axe because it looks a bit rustic, but it's incredibly practical! It's a sharp weapon for killing enemies in battle, and when you're starving, you can carry it up the mountain to hunt and chop wood. It's the perfect tool..."
"So you've been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, but you haven't even gotten a decent weapon?"
Jiang Wan found it hard to believe.
"Don't those great generals with great martial arts skills all use majestic weapons like the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade or the Fang Tian Painted Halberd?
If all else fails, there are still Dragon Roar Sword, Red Tassel Spear and the like. At the very least, you can always get a Golden Ring Knife, right?
You just use an axe, a simple axe like the one used to chop wood. Dad, do we really have to be so obsessed with our origins?"
Jiang Huailiang was embarrassed by his daughter's scolding, but fortunately the big beard left him with some dignity. He smiled awkwardly.
"That's not it, your father is not good at using it?"
He would never say that he couldn't use it.
"Look how practical those three moves I just taught you are! Chopping, slashing, and chopping—all of them are killer moves. They're absolutely practical, no exaggeration!"
"I agree with what you said, but Dad, tell me the truth, do you only know these three moves?"
The eldest daughter is smart, but she has a sharp tongue and always likes to speak bluntly.
Dad groaned softly.
"Humph, what's wrong with these three moves? Learning these three moves is enough for you. Why do you need more complicated moves?"
Jiang Yaozu also squatted beside his two sisters, sighing with his head down.
"Oh, I was thinking of becoming a master of a master of a master, but now all my hopes are gone. Oh, life, death is the end!"
"Don't just pick up a few words from my elder sister and use them recklessly all day long! If you miss, go ahead and die somewhere else. My life has just begun, why should it be ruined?"
Jiang Han angrily slapped his younger brother, then turned to look at his elder sister who was speechless.
"Sister, what should I do?"
Jiang Wan sighed and turned to look at his younger siblings. Then he turned back to his father and offered some kind advice.
"Dad, you and Mom must not give birth to another little fourth child in the future."
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that the fourth child will come out and compete with you for the family property? Don't worry, your father is not the kind of person who is partial. No matter how much stuff there is in the house, you can divide it equally. No one will suffer any loss."
Jiang Huailiang, who was carrying an axe and trying his best to assure his daughter, was confronted by the naughty kid as soon as he finished speaking.
"You think too much. I'm just thinking about you."
She pointed at her three siblings, bared her teeth expressionlessly, and her signature wicked curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"The second and third children, I and you have each learned a trick, so we can finally make things fair. What if a fourth child is born? What will you do then?"
"Are you making fun of your father?"
"No. It's just that I like to tell the truth."
“…………”
I've always known that the eldest daughter is a sharp-tongued person, but when she uses her sharp tongue on her own father, Jiang Huailiang feels jealous all over.
"No, my three tricks actually have a lot of connotations! I usually don't want to teach those weak little brats!"
"Oh, so it means there's no technical skill involved at all, it's all about physical output with sheer strength?"
He didn't understand what his daughter meant, but he could clearly hear the disdain in her words.
So, this person's defense was broken.
"I said I wouldn't teach you, but you insisted! How easy is it for me to teach you three naughty kids? This is my first time teaching an apprentice!"
"Oh, so you haven't even received a single apprentice in all these years?"
"I……"
Old Jiang, holding the axe in one hand, swung it hard at the wooden stake beside him, breaking the wooden man's leg. Jiang Wan blinked, not changing his squatting position.
"A wooden stake costs three taels of silver. I'll report it to Mother later, and it should be deducted from your daily expenses."
…………
Jiang Huailiang wiped his face tiredly, threw the axe to the ground, looked at his eldest daughter and asked earnestly.
"What kind of wooden stake is worth three taels of silver?"
"The wooden stake is thirty cents, and the rest is my errand fee."
Jiang Wan finally stood up, walked to his father, bent down, picked up the axe, and chopped it hard at the broken wooden stake.
That heroic posture has a visual impact of a weak girl uprooting a weeping willow tree.
"Dad, did I look pretty good just now?"
"Actually, it's not bad..."
"Yeah, I think they're okay too. So do you think the second and third brothers can handle it?"
Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San, who were named, looked at their father and his heads so hard that they almost left afterimages.
"Dad, I really can't carry it!"
Jiang Han pouted bitterly. She hadn't really wanted to practice martial arts in the first place, and now looking at the axe made her want to do it even less. Jiang Yaozu, on the other hand, scowled and thought seriously for a moment before replying.
"I can lift it, but I'm not as strong as my elder sister. What should I do, Dad?"
The father had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, I'll talk to Prince Huai tomorrow and see if I can arrange for you three to study with the Li family's kids!"
Jiang Wan put down the axe, turned his head to look at his father, and asked a few questions after a little hesitation.
"Why do we have to learn from the Li family? Can't we hire a martial arts master ourselves?"
"It's not as easy as you think."
Jiang Huailiang carefully taught soft knowledge to the children.
"What do you think family inheritance is? It's not just about the arts, it's also about the martial arts. How can you hire someone who's really skilled in martial arts just by chance?
"Master Wu of the Li family is a relative of the Zhao family! Otherwise, how could they possibly look upon us, just peasants?"
