NovelEnglishChapter 423
Sanwang lowered his voice, but he still couldn’t help laughing when he said it, “Eldest Brother asked Second Brother and some others to do his homework for him, but due to the different handwritings, the truth was revealed. As punishment, the teacher had him copy the textbook ten times, hahahahaha …”
Lin Lan, “…”
She gave a pointed look at Erwang.
Erwang forced out a smile, “Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that we were too busy listening to the publicity talks throughout the past two days, so I just did it since we were out of time…”
It’s over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChildren were generally not allowed to listen in on the talks, especially if the adults had mature topics to talk about. They would notify in advance that the children were not allowed to attend the event of that particular night. The team would also organise some places where the kids could be taken to in order to make them feel included. Of course, only children would be allowed to those events and adults were strictly prohibited. That way, the kids would feel like the Publicity Team wasn’t being unfair.
Though, that didn’t mean that the children wouldn’t hide outside and eavesdrop on the talks.
Dawang, Erwang and a few others were part of the little eavesdropping party, but they kept it a secret from the adults.
Lin Lan, “Oh, I see that you have a secret like this stashed away.”
Erwang giggled, using the refined bubbly temperament he possessed at a young age in an attempt to influence his mother.
Lin Lan snorted, “This is a serious matter, so you will be punished severely!”
Xiaowang shivered as he pulled off the little rabbit’s ears, face turning pale, “S-sending him to a labour camp?”
People in the village have habitually threatened their children with words like ‘have Han Qingsong arrest you and send you to the labour camp’ whenever the kids were disobedient.
After hearing it countless times from the mouths of others, Xiaowang also thought of it as the most severe punishment that could befall them.
Sanwang laughed, “Xiaowang, you’re such an idiot!”
Han Qingsong glared at him and the child’s laughter got stuck in his throat in fright, “Hic, hic.”
Maisui laughed and said, “Perhaps your punishment would be undeserving of these dumplings, haha.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmErwang was afraid of offending his elder brother due to his mistakeful admittance to the crime, so he whispered, “Or we can…eat less.”
Lin Lan, “Nope, let’s stick with text copying.”
She would never waver on food as a punishment towards her children. She glanced at the broom that was placed aside. Despite it being a broom, it was brittle. Other than the fact that it wouldn’t be so much as a punishment, she didn’t want to break it either, so she added, “Your eldest brother will have to do twice the amount of homework henceforth; one copy will be for me and your father— that is your punishment.”
She glanced at Han Qingsong and upon seeing that he had no objections, she emphasised her tone, “All of you should remember that if you don’t study hard, you will be punished severely!”
The children immediately and solemnly said, “We got it!”
With their Dark Lord father here, who wouldn’t respond to her quickly?
Dawang, who was in the room, suddenly felt his eyes go dark. The dread that he felt was almost comparable to the scenario of a convicted criminal being sentenced to repent in a labour camp.
When will such dark and miserable days end?!!
Dawang’s heart was in a jumbled mess, but his face showed no emotions whatsoever as he remained stoic.
