"I don’t care about others, but for the younger family mbers, my wife insists on these demands. You know Mu Bai, right? The infamous ’vicious woman’ from the entertainnt circle that made rounds on the internet, she’s a junior from my wife’s family. Don’t be fooled by her image as the spoiled daughter of a wealthy family—everyone doting on and indulging her—because when this news broke, my wife gave her a thrashing with a whip and threw her into a courtyard for solitary confinent. During confinent, she was required to practice calligraphy, and she couldn’t co out until she copied several books ant for calming one’s mind and nurturing one’s spirit."
"Whipping? Isn’t anyone stopping this?" Wei Ming, the host, was sowhat dumbfounded.
Sister-in-law Jiang looks so petite, yet she can be so ruthless?!
The audience was also in an uproar; everyone knew Mu Qiuniang was formidable, but they didn’t expect her to be this intense?!
Jiang Nuo shook his head: "After this news ca out, Mu Bai was imdiately abandoned by the family. In these old and traditional families, great importance is placed on the character of their descendants. You can accomplish nothing in life, but you absolutely cannot be evil or cause trouble. Being abandoned by the family for soone like Mu Bai is extrely serious. For them, they’d rather die than be cast aside by their family."
Wei Ming, the host, felt like Jiang Nuo had opened a whole new world: "This is the 21st century, and such things still exist?" He even wanted to remind Jiang Nuo whether this topic was appropriate for such a setting.
Was he trying to praise his wife, or criticize her?
"I’m not saying they would actually go and die, but rather it’s a ntal constraint that shapes their behavior norms once they enter society, ensuring they won’t act like the evil characters of a powerful family depicted in films." Jiang Nuo smiled, "On the surface, Mu Bai may have received a whipping, but that whip ant from then on, she ca under my wife’s control. Unless my wife says she gives up, the family can’t abandon Mu Bai."
The host Wei Ming suddenly understood: "So that’s how it is. In so sense, that beating was very much worth it. As I understand, later the ’vicious woman in the entertainnt circle’ was vindicated as well; it was revealed she was wronged when the truth ca out."
Jiang Nuo nodded: "Yes, Mu Bai does have a sowhat pampered personality, and in their circle, she’s the only girl, so all the elders at ho spoil her, and the other brothers do as well, which led to many small issues. She may not seem very likable when outside. Especially since she’s not one to restrain herself; if she dislikes sothing, she simply dislikes it. She won’t commit major wrongdoings, but she definitely might engage in small actions that give you a headache."
"Jiang Nuo talked about Mu Bai for such a long ti. Could he be trying to clear her reputation? Isn’t she already signed with your agency, and her reputation has been cleared for a while now?"
"No, I just want to demonstrate one thing: my wife is very principled. If she says she’ll act, she will, without any hesitation. Especially regarding the younger family mbers, she’s incredibly strict. Anyone who causes trouble outside faces a whipping at best, but being confined is what’s truly frightening. It’s not about idling around; you have to learn sothing. If you don’t et her standards, you can’t co out. This was when Mu Bai learned calligraphy. Her brother also learned so things during this period."
"Sister-in-law Jiang is truly sothing, confining soone for a period until they learn sothing. What if soone wants to learn sothing deliberately, wouldn’t they just need Sister-in-law Jiang to confine them for a while?"
"Hahaha... yes, so there are so juniors in the family who intentionally make mistakes, hoping my wife will put them in confinent. So later the family was both amused and exasperated, questioning if it was a punishnt or a ’Skill Training Class’?"
"If Sister-in-law Jiang opens a class, I bet many people would want to sign up—one confinent, one learned skill."
"But this thod can only be used by my wife. She has the skills and the asure; when she lashes soone, they feel a sense of gratitude. If I were to do it, people would hate to death. So, viewers watching, my dear fans, you must not imitate my wife. Otherwise, if sothing goes wrong with your actions, and you make my wife take the bla, she certainly won’t admit it."
Host Wei Ming also laughed: "Indeed, no one else can replicate Sister-in-law Jiang’s thods. Just judging from her life-saving dical skills, it’s clear how formidable she is. There’s a rumor going around that Sister-in-law Jiang can use acupuncture to point pressure—is that true?"
Jiang Nuo shrugged: "I don’t understand dical skills. Ask , and I wouldn’t know. But from the fact that she whipped Mu Bai once, had her crying loudly, yet upon examination, there wasn’t a single mark, it’s enough to prove her skills can’t be learned by others."
"No way? Not a single mark?"
Jiang Nuo nodded: "Otherwise, do you think the youngsters of the Mu family, so even older than my wife, would be obediently trained by her?"
"I can already imagine the scene—Sister-in-law Jiang holding a small whip, and a group of young n kneeling, begging for rcy," Wei Ming laughed, "But isn’t our topic straying too far? Jiang Nuo, you haven’t told us why you originally took leave."
"This is exactly what I’m discussing! You must find it curious why my wife has such boldness to whip people in the family and why no one stops her. The simple reason is: she holds a high seniority!" Jiang Nuo continued, "Everyone knows my wife’s last na is Mu, and her seniority in the family is incredibly high. But how high, you ask? The first ti I went with her to her family, a large group of elderly folks stood there respectfully, bowing to and calling ’Great Uncle’. I was genuinely startled—I couldn’t believe it. These elderly folks, potentially in their nineties or even older, are calling ’Great Uncle’? To this day, not a single person I’ve t in that family doesn’t address as ’Great Uncle’."
Let’s not even ntion the audience; even the host Wei Ming was a bit stunned: "That’s astonishingly high! Don’t they all uniformly call Jiang ’Great Aunt’?"
Jiang Nuo nodded: "Because it’s so high, uniform addressing is convenient!"
"Jiang Nuo, you haven’t gotten to the point yet."
"That is the point! Imagine soone growing up in such an environnt and atmosphere; it’s not surprising they have so archaic values. In such families, certain customary ancient rituals are things you learn from birth. Although in today’s fast-paced modern society, so ancient rituals have faded, in so families with old traditions, these things persist. So things are deeply rooted in her mind, unable to change. Like her firm belief that doing good, accumulating virtue, can change a person’s destiny!"
