Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Grandfather, Please Continue Hitting Me

Mianmian only noticed Su Chenjin’s right foot when he got up to take a photo just now.

He must have hit it somewhere, as the nail on Su Chenjin’s right big toe was flipped, with blood underneath it—it looked really painful.

Su Chaoyu saw it and frowned, instinctively shrinking his neck in sympathy for the pain.

He had been mischievous and stubbed his toe before; it truly felt as if the toe had flown off his foot, even more painful than a spanking! Because it hurt so much, he would always cry and make enough fuss for the family to hear, in hopes of getting some desired toys or treats as compensation.

But when uncle stubbed his toe, why did it seem like nothing had happened? Also, how come when uncle stubbed his toe, it was he who was being taken care of?

Su Chaoyu didn’t understand.

Mianmian took some ointment out of her small bag and handed it to Su Chaoyu, finally explaining, "You better hurry and apply some medicine—it’s because he was worried about you guys that he stubbed his toe."

"Also, there are peace amulets in two of the watches. Mianmian remembers those amulets belong to the older grand-nephew, and there’s another one for the older nephew," Mianmian said with her baby voice, revealing the truth, "The older grand-nephew and older nephew gave you guys the amulets because they were worried about you."

Su Chaoyu also recalled how Dad and Mom Chen, who had turned into monsters, were initially afraid to get close to them because of the items in the watches.

That time when uncle came to their house, he wanted them to wear the peace amulets, but they refused, so he then asked to see the watches.

Turns out he had secretly slipped the amulets into the watches!

Uncle had actually been trying to protect them! But they had refused! And uncle had even gotten a phone call; it was because he was worried that he had stubbed his foot until it bled.

Taking the ointment from Mianmian, Su Chaoyu applied it to Su Chenjin’s swollen toe, then ran to Su Chenjin and tried to imitate Mianmian by touching Su Chenjin’s face, as he apologized to him.

At this moment, Su Chenjin, who had been silently cooperating with Little Auntie’s arrangements, changed from kneeling to squatting, slightly furrowing his brow.

Su Chaoyu’s hand had just touched his foot, and now it was coming to his face. Moreover, the kid had unwittingly wiped his runny nose with his hand, which was still shiny.

He really wanted to refuse! But he couldn’t; he had to go along with Little Auntie’s plan and not let her efforts go to waste.

Su Chenjin clenched his fist, holding back his discomfort, and managed to force a smile with twitching lips.

Seeing uncle smile at him, Su Chaoyu felt happy despite the odd smile. His heart lightened, "I’m sorry, uncle. I doubted that you liked me. Can I have a hug, uncle?"

Su Chenjin: ...

Compared to the clean and adorable Little Auntie, Su Chaoyu was like a messy kid picked from a trash heap. Not only had he been crying a mix of snot and tears, but his hands were also stained with the ointment from earlier.

But what else could he do?

Little Auntie’s bright and shiny big eyes were looking at him, full of encouragement and eager to see him hug Su Chaoyu.

Then let’s hug.

Su Chenjin thought to himself that as a man who had survived the gunfire and shrapnel in the mall, couldn’t he get over this little obstacle?

After mentally preparing himself, Su Chenjin squatted and gave Su Chaoyu a hug.

"There you go, now you’re still good friends... no, a good uncle and nephew," Mianmian said, standing to the side with her hands behind her back, nodding and laughing like an old grandma, "Hehehehe, such good grandsons, good grandsons."

After listening to Mianmian’s praise, Su Chenjin let go of his nephew. He couldn’t stand it any longer; his nephew even had a strange smell on him, possibly an aftereffect of being possessed by the rat spirit.

After being let go, Su Chaoyu looked left at Grandpa, then right at Grandma, and again at his calm dad and brother, his little face full of earnestness. He nodded and ran back to his grandpa’s side.

"Grandpa, I haven’t finished taking my ten spankings. Please continue, grandpa; I deserve this punishment for my mistakes," he said.

The little guy patted his chest, his gaze still showing fear of the rod.

Elder Su wanted to laugh because his grandson had been completely pacified by his little aunt. And Little Auntie’s methods were quite in line with those discussed on some parenting shows.

Like communicating with children on an equal footing, clarifying the events before passing judgment, and addressing the psychological needs of children first.

Now that his grandson was so obediently asking for punishment, it seemed that he had understood, and Elder Su admired his little aunt’s competence.

But Mianmian was a bit unhappy, stepping in front of Su Chaoyu, "Don’t hit anymore, don’t hit. Hasn’t everything been resolved?"

Elder Su coughed twice and communicated seriously with Little Auntie, "Little Auntie, you see, as the grandfather of Chaoyu and Chaoyang and the father of these cheeky kids, if I said I’d give a spanking, I have to follow through. Otherwise, where would I, as their elder, put my face?"

Mianmian frowned, pouting her little lips.

"But when mom spanked me, she only did it twice before the grandparents on the mountain intervened, and then she stopped," she expressed her confusion.

Old Lady Su smiled, stood up, lifted the puzzled Little Bun, and whispered in Mianmian’s ear, "They say ten spankings, but really, only the first couple hurt. The rest will be gentle, not so serious."

Upon hearing this, Mianmian covered her mouth, her dark eyes fixed on Elder Su as she silently nodded.

So that’s the way it is; it’s just pretend!

"Then, my big nephew, you may finish up but be gentle. After the spanking, Mianmian has two things she’d like to discuss with you all."

When Elder Su heard that Little Auntie had something to say, he administered the family discipline at lightning speed.

It didn’t take long for the lesson to be over.

Afterward, Su Chaoyu went to hold Su Chaoyang’s hand. Puzzled, Chaoyang asked, "Brother, doesn’t it hurt anymore?"

Su Chaoyu nodded.

This time, after encountering the monsters and being trapped in the painting before coming back, he suddenly knew a lot of things. For instance, uncle truly liked him; it’s just that his face was ’sick’.

Grandpa’s spankings hurt only for the first three hits. When he asked grandpa to finish, it was just the feeling of the rod touching his behind; there was no pain at all, which proved that grandpa actually liked him, too!

And then there’s the newly-discovered great aunt, who stopped grandpa from hitting him and even applied ointment to his bum.

The ointment was magical; what was supposed to be a pain that lasted until tomorrow was gone all at once!

Su Chaoyu saw Mianmian taking out the ointment again, and he volunteered, "Great aunt, let me help apply the ointment for my brother!"

Mianmian handed the ointment to Su Chaoyu, "That’s good, my obedient Chaoyu, really great!"

She raised her thumb, praising him wholeheartedly and reminded him, "Make sure you apply it well, especially on the red spots."

"Roger!" Su Chaoyu playfully saluted in response, delightedly prancing about.

He felt very useful all of a sudden and immediately began to pull down his brother’s pants to apply the medicine.

It was then that Mianmian voiced the first issue she wanted to discuss: "Can Mianmian do live-stream fortune-telling at home? Mianmian has divine insight that it’s okay to read fortunes three times in seven days, and the hint from Heavenly Grandpa is that it’s allowed to tell fortunes for the destined people without revealing the Heavenly Secret."

She sat on the sofa very formally, legs together, hands on her thighs, waiting for everyone’s response quietly and coyly.
