Chapter 44: Chapter 44: A Better Husband
“You still dare to hide!” Seeing this, ngng’s mom grew even angrier and quickly motioned to Gu Zhihan, “Hanhan, move aside, I must discipline this girl today; otherwise, today she dares to cheat, who knows what she’ll conjure up tomorrow!”
Gu Zhihan looked up at her and not only moved aside but also reached out to protect the girl, “Auntie Luo, I am also at fault in this matter. If you want to hit soone, please hit too.”
“Gu Zhihan, what do you an you’re also at fault!” Gu Zhihan’s mother intervened upon hearing this, rushing over to join in, “It’s entirely your fault. If you hadn’t insisted on giving your test paper to ngng, forcibly making her look at your paper, how could a good child like ngng cheat!”
“So, ngng’s mom, if you want to hit soone, hit this little punk Gu Zhihan, don’t hit our ngng!” While pushing Gu Zhihan out, Gu Zhihan’s mom shielded ngng behind her.
ngng’s mom: “…”
Gu Zhihan: “…”
Where are your morals?
Gu Zhihan’s mom: My morals are skewed towards my daughter-in-law!
Seeing how fiercely Gu Zhihan’s mom was defending her child, ngng’s mom sighed in resignation and put away the rolling pin, “Fine, fine, I’m not hitting anyone.”
She couldn’t bear to hit her beloved son-in-law; if she ruined him, who would take over with her clumsy and silly daughter!
“Mommy is the best.”
When ngng heard she wouldn’t be spanked, she quickly poked out her little head, smiling sweetly at her mother.
Of course… her husband is even better!
“Don’t be so happy so soon. I’m telling you, you’re not getting any New Year’s money this year.” ngng’s mom’s face was cold as she then turned to Gu Zhihan’s mom, “Hanhan’s mom, you’re not allowed to give her any New Year’s money either!”
“Alright then…” Gu Zhihan’s mom nodded. As long as she didn’t hit ngng, everything else was negotiable.
Upon hearing this, ngng’s eyes imdiately widened. She hurriedly scampered out from behind Gu Zhihan’s mom, taking the initiative to suggest, “Mom, why don’t you just spank after all, and then you can give my New Year’s money as usual, okay?”
She’d rather take a spanking than miss out on New Year’s money to buy tasty treats!
“…”
The first ti seeing soone actually ask for a spanking.
Both ngng’s mom and Gu Zhihan’s mom were montarily stunned.
“You don’t have a fever, do you?” Gu Zhihan quickly covered her mouth; before ngng’s mom could react, he promptly dragged ngng away.
“Of course I don’t have a fever…” ngng’s muffled voice ca from his palm.
Gu Zhihan: “You have to be feverish to say such nonsense!”
If she was feverish, he couldn’t even imagine.
–
Before they knew it, New Year’s Day arrived.
As usual, elders give red envelopes to the younger generation in the morning.
While other kids had their pockets stuffed with red envelopes, ngng alone didn’t have a single one.
“Hey, Luo ngng, how much New Year’s money did you get? Let’s go buy so sugar paintings to eat together!” So children from the surrounding area called out to her casually as they passed by ngng’s house.
Sugar paintings are made by pouring sugar into different shapes — an elderly person could create birds in the sky, creatures on the ground, and fish in the sea, a variety of animals with just a spoon.
“I didn’t get any New Year’s money…” ngng answered truthfully.
“Then we’ll go buy sugar paintings without you; we’re not playing with you anymore.” A group of opportunistic kids said before walking away.
Watching their retreating backs, ngng puffed up her cheeks in anger and turned around muttering, “Pfft, what’s so tasty about sugar paintings, can they be better than my husband!”
“Don’t be sour because you can’t have candy; how could your husband be more fun than sugar paintings?” Hearing her grumblings, her friends imdiately looked at her disapprovingly.
“My husband is tastier than sugar paintings!” ngng couldn’t resist arguing with them.
Gu Zhihan nearby: “…”
Excuse , am I supposed to be edible?
“Then where exactly is your husband tastier than sugar paintings?”
Soone asked, and the other children all curiously looked at ngng and then at Gu Zhihan, who was silently standing by.
Looking left and right, they still couldn’t see how he could be more delicious than sugar paintings.
