Gu Ye returned with a dark face. 

Thanks to Xiaobao’s sudden interruption earlier, his inquiry into a crucial life topic had failed, and he still didn’t know the exact steps for the wedding night. 

Now he could only figure it out in the dark.

It was Dabao’s fault. He had been just about to ask when the moment was ruined.

Fuming, Gu Ye didn’t even greet Chu Qiao when he got home. 

He strode over, grabbed the relaxed Dabao who was watching TV, and switched off the TV.

“What’s wrong?”

Chu Qiao was startled. Could it be that the news about selling ten machine tools was fake?

She breathed a sigh of relief at the thought, at least it would buy them a few more days. 

But seeing Gu Ye’s angry expression, she also hoped the news was true after all.

“This kid is using all his cleverness on his own family.” Gu Ye said coldly. 

“Not walking the right path, still feeling proud about it. Do you think you’re so smart and amazing, huh?”

Gu Ye had always suspected Dabao’s thinking was skewed, and he had even committed petty theft on occasion. 

But he didn’t blame Dabao. In that kind of environment the boy had grown up in, using whatever means to feed himself and his younger brother wasn’t wrong. 

That was why, after taking the two children in, Gu Ye was extremely strict with them. 

Things that others would consider inconsequential were appraised by the highest moral standards.

He was concerned that Dabao’s early experiences would lead him astray as he grew older. 

He didn’t expect them to be geniuses, but he would not allow them to disgrace their father’s name.

Dabao’s heart skipped a beat when he realized he had been found out. He tried to explain, “I… I was just teasing Xiaobao.”

“Even teasing Xiaobao must have some limits! You were aware that the book was not appropriate for you or Xiaobao to read.”

Gu Ye paused mid-sentence as a thought struck him. 

His voice turned sharp. “Have you read that book before?”

If he hadn’t, then why would he send Xiaobao to get it?

“At eight years old, you’re already looking at that kind of thing? Three days without a beating and you’re itching for one!”

Gu Ye’s anger boiled over. He grabbed Dabao, pushed him over his knee, raising his hand.

After a few smacks to his butt, Dabao howled like a banshee, while still attempting to defend himself. 

With heaven and earth as his witnesses, he hadn’t looked at that picture book. In his panic, he blurted out the truth.

“Who’s Widow Wang?”

Gu Ye’s hand froze mid-air, but his voice became much colder, like shards of ice.

Dabao thought telling the truth would get him released, so he confessed, “She’s… Widow Wang. Er’lu and the others told me Widow Wang looked lovely when bathing, and brought me with them. But I thought she looked awful, ugly as anything. Er’lu must have awful taste. And the women in the picture book aren’t even as attractive as Widow Wang!”

Although Dabao knew more than most children his age, he was just eight years old. 

The things he said were both infuriating and laughable.

Chu Qiao now understood why Gu Ye had gotten so furious. Dabao sneaking a look at a picture book was already wrong, tricking his younger brother into looking was even worse. 

Even if he didn’t fully comprehend the consequences of his actions, he needed to be spanked. Otherwise, he wouldn’t learn his lesson.  

Gu Ye froze for three seconds before his fury erupted like a storm. His palm landed on Dabao’s butt in a flash.

Chu Qiao hastily shut the door, but in this rickety apartment building, it made little difference because there was no soundproofing.

“Ahh—! I’m not lying! My butt hurts—!”

Dabao howled like a dying animal. 

He couldn’t understand why Uncle Gu was still punching him so hard after he had confessed the truth. Where have things gone wrong?

“You rotten, good-for-nothing brat! You’ve disgraced your father’s reputation. I’m teaching you a lesson on his behalf!”

Gu Ye was truly angry.
