“Don’t scare Dabao.”

“It’s okay, let’s wash your face. From now on, you are no longer permitted to read such books, and you must not allow your younger brother to do so. Understood?”  

Chu Qiao took a tissue to help Dabao blow his nose. 

Xiaobao glanced at the floor, which was spotless, and finally felt relieved. 

The floor was saved.  

Dabao let out a loud blow with his nostrils and nodded hard. 

He would rather die than see such things again.  

“I won’t, they’re ugly.”  

Dabao felt utterly wronged. 

Those ugly women had cost him a sore backside.  

Seeing his pitiful expression, Chu Qiao was amused. 

She explained, “You made a mistake today. Don’t blame Uncle Gu for hitting you, he did it for your own benefit.”  

“I know. I won’t read those books anymore, truly.” 

Dabao eagerly promised. He wasn’t holding a grudge, he simply felt slightly mistreated.  

Actually, Uncle Gu’s spanking hadn’t hurt that much. 

Back in the village, when those people bullied him, they hit much harder.  

He wasn’t an ungrateful brat who couldn’t tell right from wrong. 

He knew exactly who treated him and his younger brother sincerely and who was just two-faced. 

Chu Qiao patted his head gently and said, “Auntie believes you. Go wash your face, and we’ll eat soon.”  

“Okay.”  

Dabao nodded and limped off to the washroom to clean his face. 

With every step, his little bottom burned with pain. 

Xiaobao followed him and said earnestly, “Brother, lying is wrong. That comic wasn’t about Sun Wukong fighting the White Bone Demon. You lied to me!”  

That was why Uncle Gu had hit his older brother. 

Xiaobao finally understood, so he felt the need to remind his older brother not to lie in the future, to be an honest and good child.  

Dabao looked at his younger brother’s sincere expression with mixed feelings, unsure whether Xiaobao was gloating or genuinely concerned about him. 

His heart felt uneasy, and his bottom hurt even more.  

“I saw it wrong.” 

Dabao mumbled, brushing off his younger brother’s concern. 

Suddenly, an old saying came to mind: 

‘Went to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.’*

*The meaning is similar to ‘Go for wool and come home shorn’. An attempt to gain something results in an unexpected loss.  

His heart sank with regret, and he slapped his forehead in frustration before gritting his teeth and heading to wash his face.  

After the two brothers left, Gu Ye explained the situation to Chu Qiao. 

“Dabao is a bit sly. We need to correct his behavior now, or it’ll be even harder to fix when he grows up.” 

“Yes, you did the right thing. Strict discipline is necessary!” 

Chu Qiao fully agreed. 

Although Gu Ye might fall short in some aspects of daily life, his moral integrity was undeniable, and he had successfully instilled this in the children. 

In their previous lives, both Dabao and Xiaobao had grown into filial and sensible individuals.

She had already decided that she would take care of the children’s everyday necessities while Gu Ye taught them how to be decent men. Their roles were clear and precise.

Gu Ye’s temper flared up quickly but also subsided just as fast. 

After disciplining Dabao, his anger had already dissipated. 

Now, he remembered something important and leaned in close to Chu Qiao’s ear, whispering, 

“Qiao qiao, I’ve sold ten machine tools.”

They had just been talking about the children’s education, and now the topic has switched to their marriage. 

Chu Qiao’s recently calmed emotions were once again thrown into turmoil. 

She couldn’t help but ask, “How did you manage to sell so many all at once?” 

“It’s all thanks to Old Yan. The procurement director signed the contract without a fuss and paid up promptly.” 

Gu Ye’s tone was full of admiration for Yan Su.

Chu Qiao’s mind raced as she recalled something from her previous life. 

Gu Jianshe used to complain at home, often cursing someone he referred to as ‘King Yama’*. 

*King Yama is King of Hell. In Chinese, it is pronounced Yan Luowang, which has the same pronunciation as this person’s surname, Yan. 

He was Gu Ye’s right-hand man, and it was primarily thanks to King Yama’s efforts that Gu Ye was able to turn things around multiple times when everything seemed lost.

The surnames ‘Yan’ (the person’s surname) and ‘Yan’ (Yan of King Yama) were homophones. 

Could it be that the person Gu Jianshe was talking about was none other than Yan Su? 

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. 

She asked, “Since Yan Su deserves most of the credit for this order, shouldn’t he get a share of the commission?”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking. We’re truly kindred spirits!” 

Gu Ye grinned, feeling that he and Qiaoqiao were a match made in heaven, they always seemed to be on the same wavelength.

Chu Qiao shot him a playful glare and asked, 

“How much are you planning to give him?”

“Half. Is that okay?”
