Chapter 1798 You Hit
Chen Chuan couldn't possibly have missed the suspicious look in his wife's eyes, which was practically igniting his anger.
Well, since my wife still sees Caibao as an innocent child, let her keep that view.
After all, it's hard to say how long this view will hold true.
Although Shen Xi didn't believe Chen Chuan's conspiracy theory about the treasure, she was curious about one thing: "When we get home later, are you going to teach Caibao a lesson?"
"of course."
The reason I didn't mention it before was simply because he was protective of his own.
Even if your own child makes a mistake, it's always someone else's fault when they're out in the world. Of course, you still have to teach them when they're home.
Yes, that's how it is—lacking in moral values and having distorted senses.
Shen Xi smiled; she knew her husband better than anyone.
but--
"How do you plan to teach him a lesson?"
"It's not me, it's you."
"I?"
She pointed to herself: "When did I say I wanted to teach someone a lesson..."
"Didn't we agree before that you would take care of all the physical work around the house?"
"When does disciplining a child count as physical punishment..." She realized what he meant and looked at him: "You're planning to use corporal punishment?"
"No, look at you."
Do I look like I could do that?
"Given Treasure's tendency to cause trouble every few days, I suggest you practice fighting him first."
Why don't you practice?
"I'm his biological father, how could I bear to do that?"
Hey! Looking for a beating, huh?
She was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves. Whether or not to beat her daughter was hard to say, but she told her to beat him up first.
The couple were bickering, but Caibao was sleeping soundly, swinging back and forth on his father's shoulder, showing no sign of being woken up.
If the parents of those sleep-deprived kids in the neighborhood saw this, they'd probably be filled with envy and jealousy.
As they approached the bottom of the stairs, laughing and joking, Shen Xi asked again, "Just who is that gatekeeper?"
Chen Chuan replied casually, "He's not that important, just the father of the Education Bureau Director."
Oh. Hmm?
Shen Xi suddenly realized, the bureau chief? Isn't that her teacher's wife's boss?
Lin Xiangxue works at the Education Bureau and has often complained to Shen Xi about how her boss is incorruptible and difficult to deal with. It turns out... he's her uncle's son.
"Why is his father, a bureau chief, working as a gatekeeper at a kindergarten?"
Indeed, the old saying is true: never look down on any insignificant person.
Especially in Hecheng.
The cleaning lady at your company might be a resident who received compensation for the demolition of several buildings, earning only two or three thousand yuan a month. The reason is simple: she's just idling at home anyway, so she comes out to work to pass the time.
Or perhaps the old man guarding the gate in the company compound is the father or grandfather of some leader, for the same reason as above: there are many people outside, and it's lively.
Look, isn't that Grandpa Chu? Look how much he loves to join in the fun.
Chen Chuan shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe they're just bored at home."
Since Caibao chose this kindergarten, Chen Chuan would naturally investigate the situation there thoroughly.
Even the kindergarten teachers didn't know that Grandpa Chu was Director Chu's father, but Chen Chuan did.
Of course, the principal knew as well.
The bureau chief even came to see the kindergarten director specifically because his own father was coming here to guard the gate.
That's why the headmistress is in such a dilemma today. On one side is her own boss, and on the other side is her husband's boss. She feels like she can't afford to offend either of them.
What a tragedy! This kindergarten director must be so miserable.
Shen Xi chubbyly tapped Cai Bao's cheeks, her chubby face pressed against her father's shoulder, squeezing into a ball, her little mouth slightly open, and a small patch of Chen Chuan's shoulder was wet with her drool.
But one person with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) doesn't actually have OCD at all.
Shen Xi reached out and pinched Cai Bao's chubby cheeks, which were now even more rounded out, with a hint of disdain: "This child is too noisy."
Two teachers and a childcare worker couldn't keep an eye on her; she really could fly on her own without even needing firecrackers.
Chen Chuan hummed in agreement: "It's alright."
His daughter is so well-behaved, how could she cause any trouble? In the end, it's still Fang Shiyou and his group's fault.
You should just stay at the kindergarten and guard the treasure, fine, but you actually dared to set up a table and play cards there.
Go ahead and fight, but who told you to bring the treasure along too?
He even taught her how to play cards!
Chen Chuan narrowed his eyes.
Shen Xi also remembered this. Before, she had heard Fang Shiyou brag to her for a full five minutes about his master's superb card skills, almost making Caibao sound like the second Chow Yun-fat or the God of Gamblers reborn.
Really, she's just a little kid, how could she know anything about playing cards?
Shen Xi reached out and pinched his waist: "This must be like you, I'm not very good at playing cards."
Chen Chuan did not refute this statement.
He is very good at playing cards, mahjong, and the like.
To put it simply, people who are good at math are generally not bad at cards. Hmm, so maybe Caibao's grades won't be too bad in the future?
But who cares, whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter.
Shen Xi reached out and touched the red marks on Cai Bao's neck, her heart aching. She had never let her daughter suffer such an injury since she was born.
"Why don't we stop hitting her? She's already injured..."
"A loving mother often loses her son!"
"If you're not merciful, then hit me!" She just couldn't bring herself to do it!
Chen Chuan looked at her: "If I could bring myself to do it, would I have let you do it?"
The couple stopped, stared at each other in silence, and after a long while, sighed simultaneously.
"Forget it, let's focus on persuasion and education instead."
After all, you can't entirely blame the child, right? Anyway, that's what they think.
Shen Xi touched the red mark, feeling sorry for her: "How about we let her rest at home for a few days before going back to school?"
"It's okay, just a little red mark."
She glared at him: "Didn't you say your daughter could live however she wanted? She doesn't want to go to school, but you're still forcing her to go?"
Chen Chuan glanced at her but didn't say anything.
"What do you think I mean? You don't agree with what I'm saying? Then tell me, don't your words and actions contradict each other?"
"of course not."
Just as we were about to have a proper debate, a few acquaintances came over. We quickly put on smiles, greeted them warmly, and chatted for a bit, putting the discussion on hold for the time being, as socializing was more important.
Shen Xi even huddled up with the older women to listen to a brief tidbit of gossip.
It's said that a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the next building had a fight today.
Wow, life really can't be without gossip. Anyway, after hearing it, her mood immediately improved.
With gossip around, everything is easy to talk about. The couple tacitly put aside their disagreements, and Chen Chuan, holding Cai Bao, listened attentively to the gossip alongside his wife, even joining in the heated discussion.
As I listened, something seemed off.
Chen Chuan looked down and exclaimed, "Oh my, Caibao's awake!"
I don't know when the little guy woke up, but he was so quiet, staring with his big, round eyes shining, and leaning his head on his father's shoulder, listening intently to the gossip.
Where is there even a hint of the grogginess of someone just waking up?
