From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 14 You laugh at Hong Ge getting beaten by his mother, Hong Ge laughs at you for not having a mother! [Please read on! Please vote!]

When Ning Lu held her "peacefully sleeping" son and listened to Ye Lingling tell her all the grievances in her heart, she suddenly stiffened. Her sleepy son in her arms felt like a red-hot iron, burning Ning Lu's heart with heartache.

The reason she was so angry was that she had finally found a good family willing to accept her good-for-nothing son, but what happened?

What is that damn son of mine doing?!

Putting aside the fact that the room was filled with medicinal herbs, and the fact that the patients inside the clinic would laugh at them, Ning Lu didn't care much about those things. What really bothered her was seeing Chen Hong, a grown man, bullying a young girl. Ning Lu felt like she'd been hit on the head! With her son's despicable behavior, how could he possibly marry into a good family?! Marry him?! No! He wouldn't even get a damn good marriage!

In this situation, how could Ning Lu not be angry! If Ning Lu didn't express her attitude on the spot, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up in front of the Ye family and the Ning family! One of these two families was Ning Lu's maternal family, and the other was Ning Lu's mother's maternal family.

As a doctor, Ning Lu was very measured in her actions. She didn't necessarily want to kill her son; she mainly wanted to make an example of him to give Ye Lingling an explanation.

Even if her son's reputation as a scoundrel is confirmed in the future, Ning Lu can still enter both families' circles and continue to lay low for her scoundrel son's marriage. It can only be said that parents' hearts are full of love and worry.

Although Ning Lu's love was rather chilling.

When the hearts of parents and the compassion of doctors come together, a unique emotion unfolds in Ning Lu's life.

To paraphrase Chen Hongping's usual calm and collected words: A positive equals a negative.

Look at that! Look at that! How could Chen Hong not get beaten up for saying such things?

Chen Hong's Diary:

"This morning I went to the Spirit Hall to collect my monthly government relief rations, and then I went to the blacksmith's shop to visit my dad."

"The old bishop praised my information and told me to stay in the city and wait for him to report to the main temple."

"It's been so long since I visited my mother. She must be very surprised by my arrival. But why do I feel like I'm missing a part of my memory?"

"My mother introduced me to a girl named Ye Lingling, but why is she suddenly being so gentle with me??? My gentle mother is so wonderful; she's the most beautiful woman in the world."

Inside the flickering candlelight of the wooden cabin, Chen Hong, his body wrapped in bandages, lay asleep in the middle of the floor, painstakingly writing in his diary with his fingers. He then went to great lengths to place the diary in the most conspicuous spot in the room, hoping that Ning Lu would find it the first thing she saw when she entered the room next time.

Yes, Chen Hong had given in a bit. With minor fractures all over his body due to his mother's exquisite control, Chen Hong could only deepen his mother's guilt by writing in his diary, using tender words to hope that she would treat him better recently.

Chen Hong has always been adept at balancing anger and appeasement. This incident was merely an accident! He hadn't anticipated that Ye Lingling's betrayal would be so piercing, leaving him no room or time to defend himself!

Chen Hong could only describe his experience today in two words:

That's fucking amazing!

What? You're saying this isn't just two words? Doesn't it perfectly describe Chen Hong's mood today?

Wow.

Chen Hong, who was slowly pushing his "Chen Hong's Little Diary" to the most conspicuous spot by the door with his head pressed against the floor like a pupa, suddenly turned his head and saw his wooden sliding door being slowly opened a crack, revealing a small, frail figure in the dim candlelight.

Chen Hong: "."

Ye Lingling: "."

In the dim candlelight, Chen Hong, whose little scheme had been discovered, fell silent for a moment, then turned around without looking back and quickly headed toward the blanket his mother had laid out for him in the middle of the floor.

He quickly pushed the blanket off with his head, then crawled under it, forcing himself to pretend he was asleep.

"."

Inside the empty wooden cabin, all was silent, the candlelight flickered, and finally slowly went out.

As Chen Hong snuggled into the warm bed his mother had prepared, wondering if that annoying little girl had given up, he suddenly felt his blanket move slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

Chen Hong's whole body stiffened, and he dared not move. He wanted to escape, but his entire body was wrapped in gauze, and he could only gurgle with his head.

A pair of soft, boneless, and cool hands suddenly embraced Chen Hong from behind. Gentle soul energy slowly emanated from the small hands and then flowed into Chen Hong's body, slowly repairing the various internal and external injuries within him.

"I'm sorry," a choked, trembling voice sounded behind Chen Hong.

"It's all my fault." Even though Chen Hong was in a cocoon-like state, he could still hear a woman's voice with a hint of sobbing in his ear, even through the gauze.

Chen Hong remained stiff and silent. At this moment, he didn't want to speak at all.

"I should be thanking you for letting me know that even support-type Soul Masters can realize their life's value and meaning in other fields."

"You've been teaching me, teaching me to rebel, teaching me to be brave."

"Coco. Waaah, Coco..."

Chen Hong suddenly felt a warm sensation from behind. A pair of soft little hands hugged him tightly from behind, trembling as if trying to suppress the sobs in their hearts.

"But when I'm facing Aunt Ning, I still subconsciously choose to run away from her. I'm so afraid that you'll hate me."

Pink and white petals slowly bloomed from Ye Lingling's chest, and the delicate and tender crabapple buds branched out countless fine threads that wrapped around Chen Hong. Pure life force was slowly transmitted into Chen Hong's body through these tendrils, and Chen Hong found that all the complex injuries in his body were beginning to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sigh. Chen Hong sighed inwardly. He had never thought of blaming the little girl Ye Lingling. It was only natural and justifiable for his mother to punish him. If he put himself in her shoes, Chen Hong could understand Ning Lu's anger at that time.

Your best friend's daughter comes to your house to play, and your bratty son beats her up until she cries. Anyone would be angry in that situation.

What? Ning Lu doesn't treat Chen Hong like a human being?

Chen Hong (question mark face): Isn't that normal family corporal punishment? My dear mother is so measured in her punishment. Every time afterward, Chen Hong feels refreshed all over, his mind is free of all distractions, and he becomes much more honest and obedient.
