Dawang would probably remember this.

After finishing the last 3 blows, Han Qingsong said, “10 strokes this time, but there will be no next time. 2 Yuan or 2 cents; neither are allowed! You can make money, but use normal methods. Gambling, theft and swindling are hereby prohibited!”

Dawang spat out the corncob and said loudly, “I got it!”

Lin Lan looked at the injury and saw that there were 10 red spots densely arranged on Dawang’s backside, the middle ones being torn and bloodshot. Even so, she knew that Han Qingsong was merciful because the lashes were arranged one by one and there were no superimposed wounds.

If superimposed, with the strength that he had, those wounds would have been bleeding fresh blood.

She said with a heavy heart, “Let’s go in the house and have Erwang take some medicine to apply over it.”

She also had some medicinal tincture brought back by Han Qingsong, which promoted blood circulation, removed blood stasis, reduced swelling and inflammation. Anyway, it had a lot of uses to it, so the effects weren’t bad.

It’s just that his skin was currently torn, so it would definitely hurt even more when applied.

Erwang helped Dawang into the house to apply the medicine whilst Maisui was in charge of serving breakfast.

After the beating, Han Qingsong took a piece of cloth and wiped the vitex clean before putting it at a fixed location.

The vitex stalk was now smooth from the amount of friction that was made from his hand.

When he came back, Lin Lan whispered, “Do you want to ask for a day off for him?”

With his backside in that state, how was he expected to sit?

Han Qingsong said, “I only hit one side to make sure his classes won’t be affected.”

Lin Lan, “…” Well, now I finally know how skillful he is.

She wasted no time in saying to the children, “Now you know what it’s like to make a real mistake, right? Me and your father won’t show mercy. Children need their parents to take care of them, so if we don’t discipline you when you make small mistakes, it will be too late if you were to cause big troubles and end up being apprehended by the Public Security Bureau.”

Xiaowang nodded vigorously, “It’s like Fourth Uncle.”

Lin Lan bent down and kissed the top of his hair, “That’s it.”

Xiaowang immediately ran to the east kang, laid down next to Dawang’s ear and said, “Eldest Brother, mother and father are looking out for you. They’re afraid you will be taken away, so don’t learn from Fourth Uncle.”

Dawang was shocked. He… actually learned it from Han Qinghua.

Erwang and Sanwang helped Dawang apply the medicinal tincture. Erwang was careful with his hands whereas Sanwang’s hands trembled because of guilt. He felt that he had betrayed his Eldest Brother and was sorry for it.

When Lin Lan saw it, she took the medication from the children’s hands and asked them to have their meals.

Her slender and dexterous hands make it much easier for her to apply the medication and Dawang didn’t feel that much pain either.

“Dawang,” Lin Lan activated her mother mode with serious words.

Dawang snorted.

“Being beaten like this, you’d hate us parents…”

“No,” Dawang gritted his teeth, feeling the pain.

Lin Lan wiped away tears, “It’s okay to hold grudges. Who wouldn’t have a time where they thought that they were invincible as a child? In the future, if you want to be different from your parents, you should figure out how to achieve it and how to break through the mould that was set for you. The youth should be ambitious and that is true if you take the right path. However, if you follow the wrong road, you’re only going to ruin yourself and your family.”
