Listening to the cries from inside the house that sounded like a pig being slaughtered, Jiang Cheng, who had been eavesdropping outside the whole time, was extremely satisfied.
Sister finally took action against these two Great Demons.
As expected, a session of "belt stir-fried shredded pork" is effective in subduing people!
On the sofa, Jiang Bufan was close to fainting from crying.
He was very angry when he was being hit.
But now, there’s only fear left.
This female devil is too terrifying!
She actually beat him so harshly just now!
He almost couldn’t feel his own butt anymore.
It didn’t hurt this much even when he fell from a tree in the village before.
Even his own brother pleaded with her for mercy!
Although Jiang Bufan wasn’t that clever, he realized it by now.
This female devil really cannot be offended!
She’s not like others who just say harsh words to scare him.
She wouldn’t say a harsh word, she’d go straight to action!
For the rest of the day, the two little boys were much quieter.
Jiang Buchen frowned as he obediently lay on the desk copying books.
Jiang Bufan knew very little about writing, and even his way of holding a pen was incorrect.
Jiang Li could only patiently correct him.
"Stand firm as a pine, sit still as a clock. First of all, your sitting posture is wrong," she said expressionlessly, holding the ruler and looking like a strict private school teacher, "Place your feet properly, straighten your back, keep your chest a fist’s length from the table, straighten your neck...."
After a round of adjustments, Jiang Bufan already wore a mask of pain on his face.
He was naturally active and never stayed on a bench for more than half an hour in a day, not to mention sitting properly to practice writing.
But whenever any part of him was not standard, the ruler in Jiang Li’s hand would mercilessly land on his butt.
He had no choice but to endure the pain with tears in his eyes and sit properly on the bench.
"Very good, horizontal and vertical lines; first practice these strokes well."
The morning passed quickly, and though he hadn’t done much, Jiang Bufan lay collapsed on the sofa as if he had shed a layer of skin.
He couldn’t even cry anymore.
"Brother, I miss Mom so much. Let’s secretly go find Mom. I don’t want to stay here anymore."
Jiang Buchen frowned tightly.
Actually, he had been sneakingly observing all morning.
To prevent them from escaping again, Jiang Li had even installed surveillance cameras in every corner of the house, live-streaming to her phone.
If she caught him running away again, the consequences were imaginable.
Looking at the thick ruler, Jiang Buchen had some apprehension.
His brother was used to climbing and his skin was thick, but he was different; a few hits would definitely draw blood.
He didn’t want to suffer that!
It was better to behave.
Jiang Buchen looked at his brother, "Forget it, brother, we should behave. What if we get caught again and you get hit?"
Hearing those two words, Jiang Bufan flinched fiercely as if on reflex.
Indeed, it’s better to forget it.
"But I’m so hungry now..." he pouted, "Are we going to starve here?"
They hadn’t eaten much since last night.
And after being tormented all morning, he really had no strength left.
But there wasn’t even fruit or snacks in the study room, so he could only keep drinking water to replenish energy.
Jiang Buchen sighed, got down from the bench, and clenched his fists.
"Brother, it’s time we relied on ourselves, I’ll go to the kitchen to find something for us to eat."
"Then I’ll go with you."
The two brothers dragged their weary bodies downstairs.
Before they even reached the kitchen, a rich aroma wafted towards them.
It smelled like chicken soup that had been simmering for days with spices, refreshing their spirits.
Immediately, the brothers’ stomachs began to rumble in succession.
The "gurgling" sound filled every corner of the dining room.
Jiang Bufan sniffed hard with his eyes closed a couple of times.
"Brother, am I hallucinating? What’s that smell so good?"
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Li came out of the kitchen.
She was holding a bowl of something, which she placed on the table in front of them.
Jiang Bufan’s eyes widened in an instant.
He was sure the aroma was emanating from that bowl!
Jiang Li had actually secretly prepared something so fragrant in the kitchen!
He was drooling, but even so, the daunting image of Jiang Li was still vivid before him.
Forget it, rather than risking another session of belt stir-fried shredded pork, he would rather find some bread to fill his stomach.
Just as he was about to pull Jiang Buchen and leave, Jiang Li’s voice floated over, "Not going to eat?"
Jiang Bufan turned around in bewilderment and asked after a while, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Buchen looked at the steaming bowl on the table and then at Jiang Li’s calm face, "Is this for us?"
"Of course." Jiang Li nodded, then laid out chopsticks, "Come eat quickly, I made it especially for you guys. You’ve been hungry all day, you should eat something."
Although her tone was cold and indifferent, at this moment, it sounded like a heavenly melody to the brothers’ ears.
The female devil actually cooked for them!
Is this still the female devil?!
Jiang Bufan couldn’t wait any longer. He hurriedly ran up and climbed onto the dining chair.
Only then did he realize that the bowl contained noodles.
He used to disdain such common food, as it seemed bland and not very appealing.
But the noodles in front of him had a glossy color, with silky handmade noodles resting in the milky broth, and even the greens floating on top looked extremely appetizing.
More importantly, it smelled even better than a big chicken leg!
Jiang Bufan couldn’t resist; he reached out and was about to eat.
Jiang Li knocked his hand with chopsticks, "That’s impolite, can you grab it with your hands? You should follow dining etiquette while eating, so wash your hands first."
Jiang Bufan felt aggrieved.
But with Jiang Li’s fierce look in front of him, he could only head to the bathroom with reluctance, glancing back with every step.
Two minutes later, he rushed back.
Jiang Li had already divided the noodles into a small bowl for him.
He quickly climbed back onto the bench, "Can I eat now?"
Jiang Bufan excitedly picked up the chopsticks and put a large heap into his mouth.
The moment he chewed, his eyes lit up.
The noodles were so delicious!
It tasted even better than it smelled!
He puffed out his cheeks and chewed vigorously while curiously looking at Jiang Li, "Did you make this?"
This simple food was actually more delicious than a big chicken leg!
Jiang Li softly said "Mm."
"Don’t eat so fast; dining should be done leisurely."
Jiang Bufan was a bit annoyed.
But he was more afraid of Jiang Li flipping the table like she did last night.
So he could only force himself to slow down and eat in small bites.
Only then did Jiang Li turn to look at Jiang Buchen, who was still standing there.
