The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 1143: I’ll Protect My Child

Bai Zhun seemed to know what Li Hailou was thinking. He looked up at him and said, “Sit down. I’ll get Auntie Wang to cut some ice-cold watermelons for you to eat.”

Every time Bai Zhun had this expression, Li Hailou would definitely be obedient.

Because he knew that Bai Zhun was different from him. What was that proverb again? The teacher had just taught them something about happiness and anger. It was very complicated anyway!

This was how children fought. When they heard that there were watermelons to eat, they all stopped fighting and sat down on the sofa.

Although the children in the military compound grew up in good living conditions, they were raised with a lot of discipline and were not spoiled. Otherwise, they would not have stopped after being beaten up like this.

Some of their faces were filled with pain.

Of course, even if these children had any other ideas inside their hearts, they did not lie to their friends within the compound.

Moreover, their parents were all in contact with each other. It was a tradition of the military compound to nurture family alliances since the children were still young.

As they chewed on watermelons, the group of children kept peeking at the little monk sitting in Bai Zhun’s arms. After all, this child was too powerful. They had yet to meet anyone who could overturn them all.

Of course, Brother Bai Zhun was an exception. Brother Bai Zhun was their Prince Charming!

But why was Brother Bai Zhun so good to the child?

Even the prettiest child in the compound had never been carried by Bai Zhun before.

The prettiest girl among them was Lin Ziwen, who was wearing a princess dress and sitting on the sofa while taking small bites of the watermelon. She was also looking at little Ajiu, and the displeasure in her eyes was very obvious.

Little Ajiu didn’t hold the watermelon and chew on it like the rest. Bai Zhun specifically asked Auntie Wang to cut the watermelon into small pieces for the child. She picked up a small fork that was just enough to place the pieces into her mouth.

Little Baldy wanted to carry her own bowl to eat, but Bai Zhun felt that if he had not gone up to sleep just now, this child would not have been bullied, so he just hugged Little Baldy in his arms and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

Bai Zhun did not care who was the one who actually bullied the child. As long as the other party attacked this child, it meant that his child had been bullied.

Young Master Bai had such powerful and domineering values. It had been difficult to change them since he was young.

Little Baldy was also obedient. She was smaller than the average person. She sat in Bai Zhun’s arms and ate with a hat on her head.

Li Hailou finished his watermelon and wiped his mouth. “Bai Zhun, you can’t raise a child like this. My father said that if you raise a child, you have to make him suffer before letting him have a taste of sweetness. Look at what he did to me! I still have the marks on my butt from his kick this morning!”

“Get lost.” Bai Zhun slowly wiped Little Baldy’s mouth. He did not want to accept other people’s views on how to bring up this child. Of course he had to pamper the child he adopted.

The other older children had never seen such a tiny monk. In addition, Little Baldy was really exquisite. She was round everywhere, making everyone want to pinch her.

Li Hailou thought about it and stretched out his hand.

Bai Zhun immediately glared at him. “You don’t want your hands anymore?”

“Bai Zhun, no, I’m just trying to help you take care of him.” Li Hailou said seriously, “My mother has always said that I’m not easy to take care of. It must be hard for you to take care of the child by yourself, right? Let me help you share the burden.”

Bai Zhun smiled slowly. “There’s no need for you to share the burden. If you come close again, I won’t let you copy my homework.”

“No!” Li Hailou still wanted to say more.

Little Baldy chanted, “Amitabha. Wuli Buddha said that only bad children are beaten by their parents. From the morality of your sneak attack just now, you really need to be properly educated with a stick.”

Li Hailou was stunned. What Wuli Buddha? Where did this little unearthed cultural relic come from?!

“That’s the thought of an older generation. Do you understand feudalism? Do you understand superstition? What’s most important now is personality,” Li Hailou said proudly. “Xuan Jiu, right? From now on, you’ll hang out with your brothers. If you’re too old school, you’ll be eliminated by society.”

Little Baldy was confused. She turned her head and asked Bai Zhun, “Big brother, will Ajiu be eliminated by society?”

“No.” Bai Zhun patted the child’s head. “Ajiu will be raised by me from now on.”

Li Hailou was instantly dumbfounded. If this monk was going to be raised by Bai Zhun from now on, it would indeed be difficult for him to be eliminated by society.

Little Baldy frowned and shook her bald head. “That’s not right. You will be raised by me from now on. My mother said that if you want to be a temple abbot, you have to be financially independent.”

“You have a mother?” Li Hailou was shocked. He was dumbfounded. He thought that this little monk in front of him was an unearthed cultural relic, but he actually had a normal family. It was really strange.

Little Baldy raised his eyebrows seriously. “You don’t have one? Did you pop out from a crack in a rock? Isn’t that the story of the Monkey God, Sun Wukong?”

“I…” He actually didn’t know how to answer that.

At this time, Lin Ziwen questioned her instead, “If you have a mother, why don’t you live with her? You wanted to come to the Bai family? You aren’t related to the Bai family by blood, right? Why are you calling Brother Bai Zhun your big brother? Do you want to stay in the Bai family and not leave in the future? Do you think a poor little monk like you is worthy?”

When Little Baldy heard this, her big eyes dimmed. She did not want to stay in the Bai family and not leave.

“Master said that I must stay with the Bai family. I can only look for my family when I turn twelve. I won’t stay in the Bai family for free.”

Little Baldy said seriously, “I will protect big brother.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Why would Brother Bai Zhun need someone like yo-”

Clang!

Before Lin Ziwen could finish her sentence, the fruit plate on the table was kicked over.

The person who kicked the table was none other than Bai Zhun.

Li Hailou had said long ago that Bai Zhun was more ruthless than anyone else when it came to fighting.

“Whoever says one more word can get out.” Bai Zhun’s pretty little face turned cold. “What do you mean by this? Did all of you come here just to bully my younger brother? He’s only four, but all of you ganged up and tried to beat him up! What is the meaning of this? Even if I let this go, you won’t let it go, right? Lin Ziwen, he is the junior that I’ve decided to adopt, so if he doesn’t stay with me, who will he stay with? Even if he ends up staying in the Bai house forever, what has that got to do with you?”

After Bai Zhun finished speaking, he picked up Little Baldy and went up to the second floor with much effort.

The group of children downstairs were all a little stunned.

After thinking carefully about it, they did feel that what they did this time was indeed wrong.

After they heard Bai Zhun’s words, their faces felt even hotter. Everyone looked in Lin Ziwen’s direction.

Lin Ziwen burst into tears and ran out of the villa.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Bai Zhun was still angry.

He rarely got angry because many things were under his control.

But the child in his arms was just like him in the past.

After losing his parents, he had lived with his grandmother for a period of time, and people would say the same thing.

If not for certain circumstances at home, it was impossible for a child to not want to live with his parents.

He had only brought his child home for one day. But first, he had accidentally injured this child at noon, and now, he had let him suffer such grievance…
