CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: THE SCUMBAG WAS RIGHT BESIDE ME

Yu Heng was truly pissed off.

Things he wouldn’t even dare to think about when he was young, good grief, his son had already achieved in fourth grade!

His Chinese grades were atrocious, yet he still had the face to write love letters to three girls! And they were such an eyesore!

Yu Xia quickly tried to calm her brother.

"Bro, don’t be too angry, there’s still hope, it’s only fourth grade, we can turn this around. So, do you have any evidence?"

She hadn’t expected that this visit home would turn into dealing with family education.

Yu Heng grumpily replied, "Yes."

Then he roared at Yu Yue, "Show it to your aunt! Let’s see how capable you are!"

The voice was so loud that she shivered a bit.

See, this is what marriage does, turning a once charming man into a fierce middle-aged father, ready to whoop his kid with a clothes hanger.

Yu Yue hunched his shoulders as he handed over his phone, along with some small notes.

Yu Xia didn’t realize the severity of the situation and joked with him: "Yue, you’ve already got three girlfriends? What are their names?"

Yu Yue, only about 1.3 meters tall, was putting on an air of someone 2.8 meters tall, leaning alone in the corner looking melancholic.

"I can’t remember their exact names, but I added notes to distinguish them, Mei, Mei Mei, and Little Strawberry."

Yu Xia: "...Don’t you think that’s a bit of a jerk move?"

As she said this, she tapped the screen, finding the chat with Mei.

Mei: Ayue, I really like you, can’t we not break up?

Yu Yue: But the other two like me too, and although I hate to see you sad, I also can’t bear to see them sad.

Mei: It’s okay, I can endure it.

Mei: Actually, there’s someone I’m reluctant to lose too; if I don’t mind, can you also not mind?

Yu Yue: Sigh, girl, you’re still so silly.

"Girl literature" happening right beside her.

... Could this really be a love story involving a fourth-grader?

Yu Xia was dumbfounded.

She then opened the chat window with Mei Mei.

Mei Mei: Brother Yue, how can you ignore me! I’m going to be mad!

Yu Yue: Be good, don’t fuss; I’ve got important things to do, play by yourself for a while.

Mei Mei: What important thing could be more important than me?

Yu Yue: I have to do my Chinese homework, sigh.

Mei Mei: All right, you write well, don’t fail next time, or your dad will hit you again.

Yu Yue: Hit me for what? We always reason things out!

Yu Xia was speechless again. It was as if a domineering CEO was handling his delicate wife; anyone who didn’t know would think he was dealing with a three-million-dollar acquisition plan, but it turned out it was just Chinese homework...

Indeed, one shouldn’t expect too much from elementary school students.

Holding back her frustration, she tapped into the Little Strawberry chat with the pink avatar.

Yu Yue: Babe, I bought you some strawberries, left them on your desk, and copied the math homework for you too.

Little Strawberry: Oh.

Yu Yue: Babe, you’re being so cold to me, it makes me sad.

Little Strawberry: If you’re sad, go find Yang Jiajia, what’s it got to do with me.

Yu Yue: I knew you still minded; sigh, I even set couple avatars and couple space with you, all the space is filled with your name, what more do you want?

Little Strawberry: My mom said a man can’t shelter three women from the wind and rain simultaneously.

Yu Yue: Girl, don’t push me.

She couldn’t watch any longer.

This damn thing was unbearable to watch.

Her toes curled up until they could carve out a world map!

Yu Xia took a deep breath, turned to her brother and sister-in-law standing by the door, and said in a deep tone, "You two aren’t bad off, still young, why not have another kid early?"

Yu Heng: "I would like to, sigh."

Yue Ling glared at him, pinching his waist.

Then she said to Yu Xia, "You see, this kid is something else. When I try to discipline him, he yells to have you take him away. Do you have any ideas?"

She finished, glaring at Yu Yue with hope written all over her face and said, "Before, I said if I killed pigs and people in my past life, that’s why I have to teach this pig Chinese now, but it seems I must have committed sins in my past to have birthed such a jerk!"

As she spoke, she gave Yu Heng a harsh gaze, as if to say maybe it was his genes that were problematic, he might have been this kind of jerk in the past too.

Yu Heng coughed, tugging at his shirt collar, put an arm around her shoulders, leading her outside.

"Xiaxia, you take care of him, feel free to hit him."

Then there was the sound of him gently calming his wife.

Yu Xia pouted at the couple who had been lovey-dovey for ten years, then turned back to look at her nephew pretending to be gloomy, sighing in headache.

"Yu Yue, your extreme actions are quite jerky, don’t you think?"

Yu Yue gazed up with his delicate face, "Nope, my dad also charmed my mom back home ages ago?"

"... That was after he became an adult, and he only charmed your mom, while you’re in fourth grade! And you’re charming three girls at once!"

"Oh, good wives are hard to find, shouldn’t I try to find more?"

Yu Xia closed her eyes.

Are elementary students this mature now? When she was in fourth grade, she was just clinging to a kebab cart wanting Yu Heng to buy her stinky tofu.

She almost wanted to grab a clothes hanger and give him a spanking, but thinking about online parenting advice, she was afraid of causing him to develop a rebellious mentality.

So, she decided to be a bit more subtle and gentle.

She sat by the desk, leafing through his homework, earnestly saying, "Don’t take your dad’s heroic deeds too proudly; you’re only in fourth grade and not mature yet. Your main task is studying. If you’re always distracted like this, you won’t get into a good middle school, and those three girls will definitely look down on you."

Yu Yue picked up a skateboard from the corner, confidently saying, "That’s impossible, I look good, my grades are decent, and I can skateboard; there’s plenty of girls who like me. If they stop loving me over something trivial, it only proves we weren’t meant to be."

"... Is it children’s calcium tablets giving you that confidence?" She rolled her eyes.

She casually pulled out a test paper from his backpack; the first one was a Chinese test with a big fat 36 on top, so red it was blinding.

Yu Yue, seeing the situation was bad, immediately lunged in an attempt to cover it up, but being too short, was easily pushed aside by Yu Xia.

"... Yu Yue! You scored 36 in Chinese?! Are you a pig?!"

Yu Yue was hunched over, his confident tone finally shattering, "We-well, everyone has subjects they’re good at and others they’re not."

"Enough with the excuses, come here! This idiom, ’有（）无（）’, you don’t know it?!"

Yu Yue, hesitantly pondering, tried, "Have you, not me?"

"... I’ll give you a ’no return’ beating!"

Hadn’t he just used ’有缘无分’? This pig!

She couldn’t think of any subtle way anymore; all she wanted was to find something handy and spank him.

"And this! ’一（）一（）’, what did you fill in?! Ah!"

"... It’s, ’One piece, one pound’..."

Yu Xia went berserk, like a roaring beast, "I’ll give you ’one kick, one hit’! Get over here!!!"

In the end, Yu Yue was pinned to a chair and given a good spanking.
