Chapter 88: Asshole Blossoms

  Tang Xiaosheng had just run into a room in his house when Tang's father rushed in with a carrying pole, slamming the door shut with a loud bang and cursing loudly: "You little scoundrel, see how I'll deal with you today!"

  "Dad, I'll be twenty-three years old after New Year's, and you're still hitting me?"

  "Shh—"

  Tang's father made a hissing sound, the anger on his face instantly dissipated, and he walked over, saying in a low voice, "Your mother was deceived by you for six whole years, can she not be angry? I wouldn't dare to beat you up, could her anger be dispelled?"

  Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng was also stunned for a moment. It turned out that his father had never really intended to hit him, but just pretended to do so.

  At this time, Tang's father turned around and walked to the bedside, moved the quilt on the bed to the side of the bed, then lifted the carrying pole, swung it violently, and hit the quilt heavily.

  After finishing, Tang's father saw that Tang Xiaosheng on the side had no reaction at all. His face sank and he reminded him in a low voice: "You little guy cooperate a bit, don't you dare to put on an act for your mom to see, can she calm down?"

  "Oh." Tang Xiao Sheng suddenly enlightened, instantly understanding his father's meaning, smiled and nodded, "Dad, you start hitting me now, I'll definitely cooperate."

  "Be serious, don't be so careless!" After finishing speaking, Tang's father rubbed his hands together, picked up the flail and swung it forcefully, making a "thud" sound as he hit the quilt on the bedside again.

  "Ah!"

  Tang Xiaosheng immediately cooperated and let out a loud cry, while shouting, he hastily begged for mercy, "Dad, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

  "What's more, I'll beat you to death today!" Tang Fu pretended to be furious, shouting loudly with a fierce tone, swinging his carrying pole and heavily hitting the bedding on the bed again.

  "Ah!" Tang Xiaosheng continued to cooperate with him and let out another loud cry of agony.

  "How dare you not go to college!"

  "Ah!!"

  "You should be an actor!"

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  "Cheated your mom!"

  "Ahhhh!!!!!!"

  ……

  The miserable cries echoed one after another from inside the house, each one more heart-wrenching than the last. Upon hearing Tang Xiaosheng's cries, Little Dragon Girl, who was standing outside the house, was also extremely anxious, and her mind involuntarily conjured up a terrifying scene of Tang Xiaosheng being beaten by his father with a wooden stick until his face was bruised and bloody, because Tang Xiaosheng's cries were truly too mournful.

  If it were in normal times, if Tang Xiaosheng were beaten by someone, Little Dragon Girl would not say a word and would definitely rush to his rescue immediately. But now, the person beating Tang Xiaosheng is Tang's father, and Little Dragon Girl does not dare to act rashly, she can only anxiously wait quietly outside the door.

  Like her, Guo Xiang was also anxious. Hearing Tang Xiaosheng being beaten and crying out in pain, she was worried too. After a moment, she mustered up great courage and walked to Tang's mother's side, saying in a childish voice: "Aunt Tang, if you keep beating him like this, big brother will be beaten to death."

  Poor parents in the world, when Tang Mu heard Tang Xiaosheng's miserable cry, her heart couldn't help but ache. It was just that she was really angry with Tang Xiaosheng and hadn't recovered yet.

  Tang's mother originally thought that Tang's father would just hit him a few times and Tang Xiaosheng would stop, but unexpectedly he continued to beat him for over ten minutes. She finally softened a bit, walked outside the house, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Old Tang, isn't it enough? Do you really want to beat him to death?" After a pause, she continued: "Stop hitting him, come out and eat first."

  Upon hearing his mother's words, Tang's father knew she had calmed down and this farce was almost over. He slowed down, intentionally raised his voice, and continued to put on a show: "You stinky brat, I'll deal with you after dinner!" After finishing speaking, he tidied up the quilt that had been thrown into disarray at the bedside and pushed it back to the corner of the bed.

  At this time, Tang Xiaosheng walked to his father's side and said with a smile: "Dad, thank you, it was hard work." After that, he quickly wiped the sweat from his father's forehead.

  Punching cotton quilts is hard labor!

  Tang Fu cleared his throat and looked at Tang Xiao Sheng, softly teasing: "You little stinker, you're quite the actor! That miserable cry of yours just now sounded so real."

  Tang Xiaosheng chuckled and flattered, "Dad, actually you're not bad at acting either. If you weren't a carpenter, you'd definitely be the second Chow Yun-fat. I just inherited a small part of your genes."

  Tang's father slapped the table and scolded, "Less nonsense! I'm telling you, this isn't over yet. You've cheated me for six years, and we'll settle this account slowly later."

  He paused for a moment and then said, "Later when you go out, be smart and don't get caught, otherwise I'll also be in trouble."

  "Don't worry, Dad, I've got it under control."

  Then, Tang's father opened the door, pretending to be still angry, carrying a shoulder pole and storming out of the house, while Tang Xiaosheng followed behind him, covering his buttocks with both hands and limping.

  He was pretending that the part of him that Tang's father had just hit was his buttocks.

  Little Dragon Girl saw him come out and immediately came up to greet him, looking him up and down, and anxiously asked: "Guo'er, are you okay?" The miserable cry just now was really too frightening, no wonder she would be so worried.

  Tang Xiaosheng's eyebrows were tightly locked, his teeth clenched, and a painful expression on his face, he said: "No... nothing!" His painful appearance was mainly to pretend in front of his mother.

  After a while, Tang's mother had already brought the dinner dishes to the table in the living room. Tang's father then called over Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang to eat together. The five of them sat around the table for dinner.

  While eating, everyone else sat down to eat, but Tang Xiaosheng stood up alone. Seeing this, his mother's face sank: "Xiaosheng, why are you standing so tall? Come and sit down to eat!"

  "His butt was beaten by me until it bloomed, how could he sit down?" Tang's father said calmly while chewing on white rice.

  Tang Xiaosheng slowed down and said to his mother: "Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have deceived you. I..."

  "Let's eat first." Tang Mu said, interrupting with an unchanged expression.

  Tang Xiaosheng was taken aback for a moment, nodded, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.

  This dinner, except for Tang's father, the other four people didn't eat very comfortably. Tang's mother was still in a bad mood, with her face downcast; Tang Xiaosheng saw his mother's expression and naturally felt uneasy too; while Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang ate with trepidation.

  Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang had been in the house for less than half an hour when they discovered that Tang's mother never gave them a good look, while Tang's father seemed to have a serious violent tendency. They felt that this home was really too terrifying and didn't know what would happen next. It was out of such concern that Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang were extremely careful during dinner, afraid of doing something wrong and causing trouble for Tang Xiaosheng.

  This time, Little Dragon Girl returned home with Tang Xiao Sheng to see her grandparents. However, she found that since entering the house, Tang's mother had not looked at her properly and hadn't said a word to her, which seemed quite ominous.
