“Godson?” Ye Xingbei was a bit hesitant.
She was just twenty-one years old.
An eight-year-old calling her his godmother felt strange to her.
Furthermore, the terms godmother and godfather had been so misused these days.
Although they were once respectable terms, they now often led others to make bad assumptions.
After a moment of hesitation, she looked at Gu Junzhu and suggested, “Why not take Xiao Yue as your apprentice? To be honest, it makes a lot of sense since you’re currently teaching him martial arts.”
She always felt that the term “master” was much more respectable than “godfather.”
She had read a story sometime back.
A girl married her father’s apprentice.
After the marriage, the girl’s mother-in-law bullied her. The girl couldn’t resist; otherwise, she would be accused of being unfilial.
The girl’s husband went to her father for help, only to be beaten up badly by his master, who was also his father-in-law. He limped back home.
The mother-in-law, heartbroken, asked what had happened to her son.
The son replied, “Every time you bully the master’s daughter, the master beats me. If you don’t mind me getting beaten up, then continue bullying my wife.”
Once a teacher, always a father.
It was only natural for a master to cherish and discipline his apprentices.
So, to pity her son, the mother-in-law dared not bully her daughter-in-law again from that day forth.
From this, it can be seen that the position of a master is very high, almost the same as that of a biological father.
In the old days, apprentices left their homes to learn from their masters.
If Gu Junzhu took Lingyue as his apprentice, even if Lingyue’s biological father came to claim him, they could stand firm and refuse.
Seeing the hopeful look in her eyes, Gu Junzhu, couldn’t bear to let her down, so he quickly nodded in agreement, “No problem!”
Ye Xingbei was overjoyed, patting Lingyue on the head, “Xiao Yue, would you like Uncle Gu to take you as his apprentice?”
Lingyue nodded enthusiastically without any hesitation, “I’m willing!”
“That’s great!” Ye Xingbei rubbed his head with a delighted smile, stood up, and said to Gu Junzhu, “We are to take Xiao Yue as our legitimate apprentice. We’ll choose an auspicious day, find some witnesses, is that okay with you?”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “You’re the boss. I’ll go by whatever you say!”
Xiao Shumiao looked at her father, then at her mother, clapping and hopping around, “Aye aye aye, dad is whipped! He listens to everything mom says!”
Ye Xingbei:”… Xiao Shu, where did you learn this nonsense?”
Xiao Shumiao cocked her head and looked at Ye Xingbei, her eyes sparkling,
“It’s in the books, mom! Isn’t what the books say correct?”
Should she say it’s correct or incorrect?
She decided to change the topic instead, “Sweetie, did you have your breakfast?”
“Not yet!” Xiao Shumiao looked up at her, her sparkling eyes full of anticipation, “I was waiting to eat with mom! It’s only delicious when eating with mom!”
Ye Xingbei gently rubbed his head with amusement, “It’s past nine, aren’t you hungry?”
“We’re having fruit porridge. Dad said having fruit porridge in the morning is good for the body,” Xiao Shumiao, holding Ye Xingbei’s hand, said, “Mom, are you hungry? Let’s eat together!”
As Xiao Shumiao led Ye Xingbei back to the living room, she didn’t forget to call Gu Junzhu and Lingyue, “Dad, Brother Xiaoyue, hurry up, let’s eat!”
Even though this little fellow was young, he was quite a foodie..
