Chapter 55: Dachui’s Miserable Fate

Don’t think he didn’t notice—his mother almost called him Goudan again.

But seeing how quickly she corrected herself, he decided to let it slide.

Bai Yunqi skillfully led his younger siblings toward Dachui’s home.

“Make way, everyone.”

“Hey, we don’t know. We’ll ask my mom later.”

“Dachui! Come on, let’s have some fun!”

Wang Dachui deftly dodged out of the way.

He looked at Bai Yunqi with a hint of disdain. “Goudan, you fell into the latrine once!”

Bai Yunqi: Tsk! How can this kid be so… brutally honest that it makes me want to hit him!

Wang Dachui bounced over to Juanjuan, “Juanjuan, come on, my uncle brought me some malt candy!”

He had barely taken two steps with Juanjuan when the third brother of the Bai Family blocked him.

Bai Yun’an looked at the little boy leading his target away and innocently added fuel to the fire, “Dachui, have you finished reviewing the notes your uncle gave you?”

Wang Dachui: …

The little chubby boy who was smiling just a moment ago suddenly stopped.

Bai Yun’an’s smile grew even more radiant and harmless.

Wang Dachui: “Mind your own…”

Bai Yun’an grinned and suddenly shouted loudly:

“Auntie! Dachui burned the notes his uncle gave him! He used them to roast birds outside!”

Wang Dachui’s eyes widened: “You’re lying…”

“Wang Dachui!! How dare you burn the notes your uncle copied for you! You little wastrel!!”

Dachui’s mother immediately rushed out from the house, expertly grabbing Dachui by the ear.

Juanjuan silently took a step back, distancing herself from Brother Dachui.

Bai Yunqi: 【Wow! That was fast!】

Bai Yunxing: 【Auntie’s reflexes are quicker than a rookie soldier’s.】

Bai Yun’an: 【Whoa! Instant flash!】

“I didn’t burn them to roast birds! I just tore a page to wipe my butt!”

Juanjuan gave Dachui a sympathetic look and retreated even further.

It’s not that she couldn’t help; it’s just…

Any child in the village who uses notes for toilet paper gets beaten.

The three big brothers all sighed internally, acknowledging how capable the little chubby boy was!

Juanjuan silently nodded in agreement.

When Granny Wang returned to the commotion, she saw the four skinny Bai Family children huddled pitifully in a corner.

While her eldest grandson, Dachui, was being chased around the yard by her daughter-in-law.

Unaware of the situation, Granny Wang immediately intervened: “Why are you hitting the child again? Stop it, stop it!”

Dachui’s Mother: “Mom! Dachui used the notes his uncle gave him to wipe his butt!!”

Granny Wang: …

Sensing trouble, Dachui, hiding behind Granny Wang, bolted.

But Granny Wang, with her zero-frame start, was quick to act.

Having spent half her life disciplining children, Granny Wang thought Dachui’s mother still had much to learn.

“How dare you tear the notes! And use them to wipe your butt! Wang Dachui! How can you be so bold!!!”

“If you don’t want to study, fine, but you can’t tear them up! Heaven is watching! If your uncle can’t become a scholar, I’ll beat you to death!”

With each hit from Granny Wang, Dachui let out a miserable cry.

The four Bai Family children in the corner flinched with each cry.

Juanjuan: Dachui’s cries are too pitiful.

The three big brothers: Damn… that’s terrifying.

Dachui’s Mother, watching her child get beaten, was heartbroken: “Mom, stop it, stop it.”

Bai Yunqi: 【I laughed, it’s just like people say. I can hit my child, but if someone else does, it breaks my heart.】

【Just like those old guys in the sect. They could pin me down and beat me up, but if someone else tried, they’d chase them down with a hammer.】

【I wonder, when I was struck by lightning and died, how long those old guys were mocked in the Cultivation World, and if they missed me.】

When Jiang Dai came to take the four children home, they were all silent.
