Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 410: Coaxing the Wife

In the evening, Li Ling returned from duty. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife sitting in the house with a dull face, as if she wanted to argue with him.

Li Ling took off his coat, walked to his wife, put his hand affectionately on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Aren't you busy with anything in the house today? You came back earlier than me."

Jingshu took Li Ling's hand away and asked him with a straight face, "Why did you hit my son this morning?"

Li Ling stood in front of Jing Shu, looked down at her, and replied with a smile: "Looking at what you said, you kept saying 'my son, my son's'. Is Brother Xuan just your son?"

Jingshu raised her head and rolled her eyes at Li Ling, and said impatiently: "Don't talk to me about this. Let me ask you, brother Xuan is only five years old, and it doesn't matter if he takes a nap occasionally. Why are you doing this?" Tsuna will punish him on the line."

Seeing that his wife was anxious, Li Ling also suppressed his smile and replied: "It was he who clamored to practice martial arts in the first place. Since he wanted to learn, he had to work hard. How could he fish for three days and dry the nets for two days? It doesn't matter once or twice, but if he continues to indulge like this, he may develop the habit of not taking things seriously in the future."

Jingshu knew that what Li Ling said was reasonable, but children were only enlightened when they were six years old, and Brother Xuan was only five years old. It was not easy to make progress like this, and besides, he had to get up early every morning. This was for a child. This is a great test.

 In short, Jingshu loved her son very much, and she couldn't bear Li Ling's beating.

She argued rationally to Li Ling: "Brother Xuan is still young after all, and he is sensible. If he makes a mistake, just try to reason with him."

Li Ling looked at his wife and replied: "I have already reasoned with him this morning."

Jingshu asked: "Since you have already reasoned, why do you still beat him?"

Li Ling replied: "It's just to let him remember the lesson."

After hearing this, Jingshu stood up angrily and argued with Li Ling: "Since he already knows his mistake, you shouldn't punish him. It's wrong for you to do this!"

When Li Ling saw that his wife was angry, he stopped talking and turned around to ask the servants to serve food. As soon as Ziyun came in, he was kicked out by Jing Shu.

Jingshu stood in front of Li Ling and said to him reluctantly: "I said what you did was wrong. You are not allowed to hit him again in the future. Do you hear me?"

Li Ling glanced at his wife's angry look, he smiled and murmured: "What a loving mother, many loser."

Jingshu was so angry that she tugged on his clothes and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Li Ling frowned slightly and said to his wife: "Don't be like your sister-in-law, who spoils your son until he is like Erlang, who only knows how to be naughty and mischievous."

Jingshu replied: "Brother Xuan has been sensible since he was a child. He has never been naughty or troublesome."

Li Ling replied: "That's not because I have been telling him about his destiny. Now he is more sensible, but if he is not strictly disciplined, can you guarantee that he will always be sensible?"

Jingshu lowered her eyes and murmured to herself: "My son must be a sensible person. Anyway, I won't allow you to hit him again."

Li Ling has his own ideas about educating his son. Although he dotes on his wife, he will not be influenced by her.

Li Ling smiled and took his wife into his arms. Jingshu was still angry with Li Ling in her heart. She pushed him away with all her strength, but Li Ling hugged him tighter.

Jingshu hit him and said, "Let me go, I won't be able to breathe."

Li Ling let go of him then, but turned around and took out a pack of snacks from his coat pocket, held it in front of his wife and said, "Your favorite honey-fried cherries, I went to the West Market to buy them when I came back."

Jing Shu glared at Li Ling: "Do you treat me like a child? A little food will make you forget how disgusting you are." Li Ling saw that his wife was insisting on this matter, so he picked a cherry and stuffed it into his wife's mouth. , calling to the outside: "Here, come quickly, bring the food."

After a while, the maids put the food on the table, and Brother Xuan and Sister Bao also followed Ziyun to the upper room. When Sister Bao saw Li Ling, she ran over and threw herself into his arms, while Brother Xuan acted as usual when he saw his father. He called politely: "Hello, daddy."

Li Ling put down his daughter, looked at his son, and asked, "Have you finished all the homework you left this morning?"

Brother Xuan replied: "I pressed it carefully."

Li Ling reached out and touched his son's head and said, "Let's eat. Tomorrow, dad will take a break and take you and your sister to ride horses."

Brother Xuan relaxed when he saw that his father finally showed a good face to him, and went to the table to eat with his sister.

The family of four was having dinner. Brother Erlang Ping came over to play with Brother Xuan. He walked to the door of the hall and asked the mother-in-law at the door: "Is the second uncle at home?"

The mother-in-law replied to Erlang: "The second young master is here to play with the third young master. The third young master is about to finish his meal now, so the second young master should go in."

Erlang stood on the porch and asked: "I just want to ask if your second uncle is at home?"

The mother-in-law replied: "You child, you come to play with brother Xuan, and you always ask if the prince is doing anything at home."

“The prince is at home, eating in the house.”

Brother Ping has always been afraid of Li Ling. When he heard that Li Ling was in the house, he said to his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, please go in and call Brother Xuan out."

The mother-in-law shook her head helplessly at Brother Ping, but turned around and entered the house. Brother Ping was anxious. When he saw the mother-in-law entering, he lay down at the crack of the door and peeked in. However, the door was suddenly opened by someone from inside. When he opened it, Brother Ping was so frightened that he fell over.

Li Ling frowned slightly, raised his hand to carry Brother Ping into the house, and said to him with a straight face: "Boys, every family is so generous in doing things, how can they be so sneaky about opening cracks in doors, like this?" What does it look like?”

Brother Ping shrank his shoulders tightly in fear, wishing he could retract his little head into his collar, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.

Li Ling looked at his appearance, he reached out and picked up his nephew again, and said with a face: "A man should stand like a pine and sit like a boat. Look at the way you stand or sit, it's shameful." "

Brother Ping was originally afraid of Li Ling, but now seeing his cold face made him burst into tears, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.

Jingshu heard the sound and came outside. When she saw her uncle and nephew like this, she quickly came over to protect Brother Ping and said angrily to Li Ling: "What are you doing to discipline Brother Ping again? You will scare the child."

When Brother Ping saw Jingshu coming over, he felt as if he had found a savior. He couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes. He hid tightly behind Jingshu and grabbed her clothes and said, "Second uncle wants to beat me, second aunt, save me!" Second Aunt, please save me!"

Seeing this, Li Ling softened his tone and said to Brother Ping: "Second uncle won't hit you, he is just trying to reason with you. You are a boy, so you must behave generously, and don't hide behind others at every turn. "

As he spoke, Li Ling stretched out his hand and planned to pull his nephew over to reason with him. However, Brother Ping slipped out of the house and ran while shouting: "Second uncle is at home from now on, and I won't come again." I’m looking for Brother Xuan to play with.”

Brother Xuan came out of the house after eating. He glanced at Brother Ping's back as he was running away like a burning butt. He frowned in confusion and asked, "Brother Ping, what's going on? We agreed to have dinner later. You came to play with me, but why did you come and run away?"
