208 Fooling the Children

Coincidentally, after dark, Wang Chuanyuan called his three sons over and told them earnestly that they had to learn a trade.

Moreover, he made the Wang Family’s future sound dangerous. With his usual ability to deceive guests, he successfully made Wang Wulang, Wang Liulang, and Wang Qilang tremble.

Why didn’t they realize that the family was already in such a dangerous position?

Wang Wulang mustered his courage and asked, “Father, what should we do then?”

Wang Chuanyuan said, “You have to learn well. Regardless of whether you want to learn literature or martial arts, you have to stand out. In the future, you can support the Wang Family and not be afraid of being cheated out of five taels of silver.”

Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang were enlightened.

Wang Liulang said, “My studies aren’t very good, but I’m learning martial arts. Mr. Chi said that I’m quite talented. In the future, I’ll be a Great-”

Before he could say the words “Great General”, he immediately corrected himself. “Great escort company’s manager! In the future, I’ll be in charge of dozens or hundreds of people. Every one of them is a skilled escort. No one will dare to bully our family!”

After hearing this, Wang Qilang could only think of another job. “Then I’ll be the Sect Master of a martial arts sect in the future. If anyone has anything they can’t resolve, come to me. I’ll get my brothers below-”

Before he could finish speaking, Madam Zhang, who was cleaning the soles of the shoes, threw one of them over.

“What brothers? You’re like a hooligan every day! The sect you’re talking about isn’t a martial sect, it’s a local gang! A proper martial sect has to be registered with the government and pay taxes every year. How can it be as easy as you say?”

Wang Qilang rubbed his head and sent the sole of the shoe back. He chuckled. “Mother, how do you know so much? You even know that it needs to be registered.”

Madam Zhang said, “Wouldn’t you know if you listened to those guests chatting every day?”

These words gave Wang Wulang a huge inspiration. He immediately said, “I’m not going anywhere. In the future, I’ll stay at home and run a bun shop with Father and Mother. Our bun shop will expand in the future and sell all kinds of buns so that everyone in the Great Chang Nation can eat our Wang Family’s buns. Even if we earn one copper coin from each person, our Great Chang Nation has hundreds of thousands of people, so we can earn hundreds of thousands of copper coins!”

This business was too big. Even Wang Chuanyuan was attracted by it, so the topic went in the direction of how to make the Wang Family’s buns better.

As for Wang Chuangui, Wang Erlang and Wang Silang, one of them had a stable personality. Especially Wang Erlang. He was smart and was very particular about the way he did things.

Wang Silang was more restrained. He only knew how to study hard all day. He did whatever the adults said and rarely had his own thoughts.

Wang Chuangui said, “You don’t have to think about anything else. Just study hard. Only after we all succeed will there be a real way out. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk.”

Wang Silang asked, “Father, why do we have to study so hard? In the past, there were no scholars at home. Didn’t we live just fine?”

“You can choose not to study hard, but if anyone bullies us in the future, you can only endure it because the higher our family stands, the stronger the people we will meet. At that time, only our family will be weak. Think about the consequences.” Wang Chuangui never treated his son as an ignorant child.

Especially during the few years when he was paralyzed, he thought that he had no hope of standing up again in this life. He was also quite strict with his two children and always hoped that they could mature beyond their age.

Fortunately, his two children were still quite resolved.

On the other hand, when Wang Erlang saw that Wang Silang was a little puzzled, he said to him, “Fourth Brother, why don’t you think of it this way? Our Little Sister Ah Yu should have suffered in the past. Do you still remember her pitiful appearance when she first came to our house? What would you do if someone else comes looking for her in the future and insists on snatching Little Sister Ah Yu away?”

“If they dare, I’ll bite them to death!” Wang Silang had almost forgotten what Little Ah Yu looked like when she first came to the house. After this reminder, he immediately remembered.

Back then, Little Ah Yu was really skinny. She did not look timid when she looked at others, but she was always a little careful, as if she was afraid that others would scold and hit her.

Especially when Little Ah Yu had just arrived. During the few days when she was unconscious, Wang Silang even saw some scars on Little Ah Yu’s legs. They looked like she had been whipped.

Although it was gone in a few days, Wang Silang had a deep impression of it.

Wang Erlang said, “Now that Little Sister Ah Yu is part of our family, we all want to protect her. But if our family can’t become very powerful, we won’t be able to protect her. Not only will we not be able to protect Little Sister Ah Yu, but we also won’t be able to protect the others in the family.”

At this moment, Wang Silang understood. They had to work hard to study and stand out, not only for themselves but also for the family behind them.

They were not young anymore. Wang Silang was also 10 years old. Farm kids would be sensible at this age.

“I understand. I’ll study hard. Next year, we’ll participate in the student examination together!” Wang Silang was full of confidence.

After the children left, Madam Ma, who had been making clothes and had no background, asked Wang Chuangui.

“Husband, do you think the children really have the ability to pass the entrance examination?”

Wang Chuangui shook his head. “With their abilities, not to mention participating next year, even if they were given another year, they might not be able to pass.”

Wang Chuangui had started studying from a young age, and he had learned a lot. It was just that during the time they were forced to wander in the wilderness, he slowly forgot the knowledge.

In the past few months, perhaps because he was in a good mood, Wang Chuangui had miraculously remembered a lot of the knowledge he had learned when he was young.

Especially in the past month in Qingmu Academy, the Master had taken him especially seriously and given him many special treatments.

Wang Chuangui could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. The teachers even nurtured him as the future top scholar and only thought that he was a peerless genius.

Only Wang Chuangui knew that he had only recovered his past memories, but he still had to rely on himself to learn in the future.

He had gained a few years of foundation for no reason. It should not be a big problem for him to take the student examination.

However, the children were different. They had only just begun to come into contact with academics and had yet to finish learning the foundation, let alone the contents of the junior examination.

Madam Ma was dumbfounded. “Then why did you let them go?”

“They haven’t suffered any setbacks before and they don’t know the immensity of the world outside. We have to give them some pressure and let them fail before they know how to work harder.”

Fortunately, their family could afford to let the children suffer now.

Wang Erlang and Wang Silang did not know that their incomparably respectful father had dug a huge pit for them and was waiting for them to jump in.

Little Ah Yu was still sleeping with Liu Shi at night. At night, she crawled into the spatial pocket and subconsciously began to shout.

“Elf, I’m here!”

After shouting a few times, Little Ah Yu realized that the elf had already left.

After feigning happiness for the entire day, Little Ah Yu hugged herself and squatted by the Myriad Spirit Water, crying sadly.

At night, Liu Shi habitually went to touch Little Ah Yu to see if she had covered herself with the blanket.

However, she accidentally touched a wet hand.

Ah Yu, who was sleeping, dreamed of something and actually shed tears.
