While Zhu Ping'an was lamenting the naughty child's ability to withstand beatings, he was also lamenting the child's tendency to deserve a beating!
Uncle, you got the wrong person! The boy's words had a great impact on Linhuai Hou! On the one hand, the boy knew his mistake but didn't change it. He even tried to evade responsibility in such a retarded way. How could Linhuai Hou not be angry? On the other hand, the word "uncle" sounded like a slap in the face to Linhuai Hou. I'm your daddy! You call me uncle, then who is your daddy? The old Wang next door! Your mom didn't cheat on me, but you're going to give me one? !
This rebellious son!
This is tantamount to betraying one's teacher and ancestors, and is extremely treasonous!
No matter who tried to persuade him, it was useless. Not even the eldest lady nor the old lady. Marquis Linhuai was determined and refused to give in. He shook his fat body, pressed the naughty kid on his legs, and slapped him one, two, three, four times.
After all, Linhuai Hou was still too fat. He chased the naughty kid for such a long distance and ran such a large amount of exercise. After slapping the kid a few times, Linhuai Hou was exhausted. Sweat broke out on his fat face. So he stopped slapping and rested for a while.
Marquis Linhuai held the naughty child, panting and taking a rest.
"Dad, hurry up and beat me. I have to go eat after that. Grandma said she'd make me roast duck for lunch. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
At this moment, the naughty kid turned around and raised his fat face to look at Linhuai Hou and urged him. There were a few tears and a string of snot on his fat face.
The originally noisy scene became quiet in an instant after the naughty kid finished speaking. Even a needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.
The quiet atmosphere was broken by Linhuai Hou's roar a second later!
I told you to hit me quickly!
I'll let you eat it if it gets cold! Eat, eat, eat. I'll let you eat it!
Linhuai Hou seemed to be revived at this moment, waving his big bear-paw-like palm and slapping the naughty kid on the butt, with a completely clean-up posture. As soon as the slap landed, the naughty kid howled, and snot and tears flew out...
"My poor grandson, your grandmother is useless and cannot protect you. If you want to hit me, hit me! It's my fault for not disciplining Rui. Beat him to death. I will go to the underworld to apologize to your father." Seeing this, the old lady was so distressed that tears came out. She pushed away the maid's support and lay on the naughty child to protect him from being hit. Then she spat at Linhuai Hou.
"Mother, why are you doing this? I am teaching this useless and rebellious son a lesson for the sake of honoring our family. How can I bear your words?" Seeing this, Linhuai Hou couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't slap any more.
"You can't bear it?" The old lady spat again, "Then can my Rui brother bear it? Your big slap like a shoe sole, my Rui brother's small body can't bear it."
He has a small body and looks like a little fat pig!
"Mom, you, hey..." Seeing the old lady like this, Linhuai Hou had to give up the idea of beating the kid anymore. He sighed deeply and handed the kid to the old lady.
However, even if he was beaten, he still had to learn a lesson. Linhuai Hou was determined not to give in on this point and insisted on making the naughty child remember his lesson.
As a result, the roast duck that the naughty child had been craving for was gone, and even the Marquis of Linhuai strictly ordered the naughty child not to eat lunch! Reflect on this!
After saying this, Linhuai Hou strode towards the family dining hall and ordered lunch to be served. The whole family had lunch together, but he strictly forbade the naughty child to approach the hall! He also strictly ordered the kitchen staff not to prepare any food for the naughty child! In other words, the naughty child was not allowed to come for lunch, and other food in the kitchen was not allowed either.
It was not easy to save the naughty child from being beaten. The old lady and the first lady did not want to lose the face of Linhuai Marquis because of a lunch, but they did not intend to let the naughty child starve. Linhuai Marquis just did not allow the naughty child to eat in the hall and did not allow the kitchen to prepare food for the naughty child. The naughty child can go somewhere else to eat. The old lady and the first lady turned their eyes to Li Shu at the same time.
"Grandma, aunt, why don't you let Rui go to Ping'an's place for lunch?"
Li Shu is such a smart person. As soon as the old lady and the doctor turned their eyes to her, Li Shu spoke out before they could speak.
Good man, I have to do it myself.
Li Shu looked at the old lady and smiled faintly, which moved the old lady and the first lady deeply.
The old lady and the eldest lady nodded with satisfaction, comforted the child for a moment, and then entrusted the child to Li Shu.
"No! I don't want to eat at my country bumpkin brother-in-law's house."
After the old lady and the eldest lady left, the naughty kid raised his little fat face and was very resistant to going to Zhu Ping'an's house for dinner. He was still brooding over the things that Zhu Ping'an had "offended" him in the past, such as why he didn't invite him when he went out to play last time, and why Zhu Ping'an carried Niu Niu off the carriage but didn't carry him when he came back from going out last time, and why he bought a lot of things for Niu Niu but didn't buy anything for himself. Anyway, the naughty kid had a lot of grudges to hold.
"Oh, that's a pity. Although Zhu Ping'an will have roast duck for lunch today, and there will also be braised prawns, braised rabbit meat, candied fruits, and oh, yes, there seem to be two strings of candied haws. But Rui Ge'er is right. Let me take a look at him. Well, he does look quite rustic. So let's not..."
Li Shu blinked her big watery eyes, nodded seriously in front of the naughty kid, analyzed the situation earnestly, and then curled the corners of her lips to express her agreement with the naughty kid's point of view.
What? There are braised prawns, braised rabbit meat, and even candied haws.
After hearing this, the naughty kid's eyes widened, and it seemed that he didn't even feel the pain from the spanking he had just received.
"No, I don't allow you to call my brother-in-law unsophisticated!"
The naughty kid exploded at this moment, stood up with a roar, and his attitude took a 180-degree turn.
Upon hearing this, Li Shu covered her mouth and giggled.
"Hehe, whoever gives you milk is your mother." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh at the naughty child. This kid is so shameless that he is almost as thick-skinned as himself.
Sometimes, you have to be thick-skinned. People with thick skin are closer to success than those with thin skin. As the saying goes, if you are thick-skinned, you can eat as much as you want. In this regard, Zhu Pingan is more optimistic about the naughty child. This kid simply doesn't know what shamelessness is.
The essence of the art of being cunning is to be thick-faced and black-hearted. At least the naughty kid is ahead of many people in this aspect.
Li Shu led the naughty child and the maid Baozi to Zhu Ping'an's guest room, and sent a maid to fetch lunch. Soon, lunch was served one by one, including roast duck, braised prawns, etc.
Zhu Ping'an had already had lunch, so he just had a quick taste of the food. He didn't know if it was because he had already had lunch or something else, but he felt that the chef's skills seemed to have declined a bit. This lunch didn't taste as good as before.
However, it was the first time for the naughty child to eat such delicious food, and he ate it voraciously, forgetting even the pain of being spanked. In the middle, the old lady sent a little maid to check once. Seeing that the food was rich and the naughty child was eating happily, she went back to report with satisfaction. (To be continued.)
