Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

"So this is why you want to practice martial arts?"

"Yes! By learning martial arts, I can fight off bad guys and protect myself. In this way, I can travel around like the Third Uncle!"

Gu Zhaoxi said excitedly, and suddenly thought of something, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he said gloomily: "But mother doesn't agree. No matter how I beg her, she doesn't agree. Dad, please help me persuade mother. Can she allow me to practice martial arts?"

Looking at his coquettish daughter kneeling beside his legs, Gu Yunji's face darkened: "Because mother doesn't agree, so you kneel here, at the expense of hurting yourself, to make mother soft-hearted and force her to make concessions?"

Gu Zhaoxi was startled, and slowly released the hand holding his father's thigh: "Dad, I don't..."

"Whether that's the case, you know very well."

My daughter has been smart since she was a child. She knows how to read people's words and emotions, and she also knows how to control the hearts of her parents.Gu Zhaoxi knew that her mother was strict with her, and she also knew that her mother loved her. As long as she showed a firm attitude and made Xu Shuhua relent, she could achieve her goal.

But this is wrong. It is a big mistake to threaten your loved ones by harming yourself.

After understanding the cause and effect, Gu Yunji finally understood why Xu Shuhua was so helpless and depressed. If he agreed, he would be condoning Gu Zhaoxi's behavior, which would happen again and again in the future.If she disagrees, her daughter will kneel down like this, which will still hurt the heart of a parent.

His daughter was only six years old. Gu Yunji knew that education should not be rushed. He tried his best to be nice and polite: "Xier, get up first. Daddy will tell you carefully."

Gu Zhaoxi didn't speak, still kneeling.

His face turned cold: "Gu Zhaoxi, get up now. We still have to talk about martial arts. If you insist on kneeling like this, then I tell you, your mother and I will never agree to your martial arts practice."

Gu Zhaoxi hesitated for a while, and finally stood up slowly. Perhaps because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs were stiff and she staggered and almost fell.

Gu Yunji simply picked her up and sat on his lap, called for someone to get the ointment, and then said sternly to his daughter: "Xier, you can tell us what you want, but you can't force her."

"We are your parents, the people who love you the most and love you the most. If possible, don't we hope that everything goes as you wish? Some things are not as simple as you think. We have more things to consider than you. many."

"My mother doesn't let you practice martial arts because she is afraid that you will get hurt. She is even more afraid that you will go out and cause trouble after learning a little bit of Three-legged Cat Kung Fu, causing trouble for yourself. Martial arts is not a panacea. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Even if you are good at martial arts As strong as your godfather, if he is surrounded by dozens of people, he will still be powerless. Do you think you can be stronger than your godfather?"

Gu Zhaoxi's face was sullen, tears welling up in her eyes. Although she still didn't speak, Gu Yunji knew that she had listened.

At this time, the medicine was brought, Gu Yunji rolled up his daughter's pants, looked at the large redness and swelling on his knees, and took a deep breath.If the medicine is not applied in time, it will probably turn into a bruise when you wake up tomorrow morning, and it may be so swollen that you will not be able to walk.

Gu Yunji felt a tightness in his chest when he thought of Gu Zhaoxi still practicing martial arts while kneeling like this. He suppressed his heartache and applied the medicine to his daughter as gently as possible while saying slowly: "To achieve your goal by damaging your own body is the most childish thing in the world." , is also the cruelest way. Because you can do nothing but hurt the people who love you."

"Even if you kneel here for three days and three nights, if outsiders find out, they will just say that you are ridiculously stupid. Who will feel sorry for you? Besides me and your mother, who else will be threatened by you, Gu Zhaoxi ?”

"My mother loves you so much. She is usually afraid that you will bump into her, and even a small cut on your hand will make her feel distressed for a long time. But today, in order to achieve the purpose of practicing martial arts, you knelt like this, Have you ever thought about how sad my mother would be and how sad I would be? Xi'er, do you have the heart to make us sad like this?"

With a snap, big tears rolled down from Gu Zhaoxi's eyes and hit Gu Yunji's hand.Gu Yunji didn't hit her or scold her, but his gentle and gentle tone made Gu Zhaoxi feel so ashamed that she couldn't help but sob.

Gu Yunji himself became more and more uncomfortable as he talked. He slowly exhaled and did not have the heart to continue talking. He just gently stroked his daughter's head.

But Gu Zhaoxi buried her head in his arms, crying louder and louder, choking up and saying: "...I'm sorry, daddy, I know I was wrong...I will...never do this again..."

Gu Yunji waited until his daughter's emotions slowly calmed down, then wiped the tears from her face and said gently: "It's not enough to just apologize to me. You also have to apologize to your mother. Can you do that?"

Gu Zhaoxi nodded with red eyes: "Yes."

Gu Yunji glanced at his daughter's knees: "Can you walk? Do you need daddy to hold you?"

Gu Zhaoxi shook his head: "No, I can leave by myself."

Afterwards, the father and daughter left the main hall and went to find Xu Shuhua.

As soon as he saw Xu Shuhua, Gu Zhaoxi's eyes filled with tears again. He trotted into her arms and apologized to her incoherently while crying.

Xu Shuhua's body froze, and he hugged his daughter reflexively. His eyes were filled with warmth, and he was a little speechless.

Gu Zhaoxi started crying and spoke incoherently. She was apologizing to Xu Shuhua and promising that she would never do this again in the future, which made her parents worried, but she only said one sentence - I won't practice martial arts anymore.

Gu Yunji had a headache when he saw this. Although his daughter realized her mistake, she still did not give up the idea of ​​practicing martial arts. What if she always wanted to practice martial arts but Xu Shuhua always disagreed?
Xu Shuhua was naturally aware of this, but since Gu Zhaoxi didn't take the initiative to say it, she didn't mention it. After calming her daughter's emotions, she pretended that nothing happened and had the food served.

At the dinner table, the three members of the family had their own concerns, and the meal was extremely boring.

Returning to the bedroom in the evening, Xu Shuhua was still silent. Gu Yunji looked at his wife who was hesitant to speak. She wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Xu Shuhua who asked him first: "Is Xi'er's leg okay?"

Gu Yunji said: "It's okay, it's just a little swollen. I've already given her medicine. I'll give her another medicine tomorrow morning and she should be fine."

"That's good." Xu Shuhua nodded and said nothing more, and the two of them returned to silence.

The daughter wants to practice martial arts, but the wife disagrees. The mother and daughter can't just stay in a stalemate. One of them has to make a concession.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Yunji still wanted to discuss this matter with Xu Shuhua: "Shuhua, regarding Xi'er's desire to practice martial arts..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Shuhua interrupted him: "Were you convinced by her?"
