The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

Chapter 88: Three Little Fellows

After the matter of the river was perfectly resolved, the entire village was filled with gratitude towards this new “quasi-top scholar”. Originally, Zhao Heng could have come forward for this matter, but they disliked Zhao Heng’s character and were unwilling to owe him a favor. Now, the village was saved and they did not owe the Zhao family any favors.

They sent a thank-you gift to the “quasi-top scholar”.

“Is Young Master Wan around?” Little Chen had sent over an old hen. Although the village headman was a village official, the village was so poor, so how rich could their family be? They originally planned to keep this old hen for their eldest daughter-in-law’s confinement to nourish her body.

Not long after, Aunt Zhang came to the door with a basket. She gave ten eggs. She had saved them for a long time and planned to sell them at the market after the New Year to exchange for some spring planting seeds.

“Mr. Wan worked hard to become the top scholar. These eggs will nourish his body!” Aunt Zhang smiled honestly and left after placing the eggs on the table.

The Hunter’s family sent over half a pickled hare.

Shuanzi’s family brought over a bowl of cornbread.

The Chen family brought over two bags of fresh cabbages.

The Wang family brought over a few white radishes.

The Huang family, the Li family, the Liu family… Almost every family had sent their gifts. Although they were not valuable, they were the most sincere.

As the young master of Yan City, Yan Jiuchao had received many gifts from others since he was young. There was nothing more shabby or pure than this.

It was not to curry favor with him, nor was it out of fear of him, nor was it for anyone to see. They were sincerely grateful to him for saving a village that was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

For the first time, Yan Jiuchao, who was known for being ferocious, became a good person in the eyes of others.

……

That night, Uncle Wan bolted the door again. He covered himself with the blanket and started complaining crazily!

Crazy, crazy, he was going crazy! He was clearly an unlearned devil!

Teacher?! Top scholar?! Are you guys blind!

Yu Wan was the last to visit to thank him. When the county magistrate arrived at Lotus Flower Village on an ox cart, she had already recognized Shadow Six, who was driving. At that time, she was extremely shocked. Fortunately, everyone was shocked too, so no one realized that the person she was shocked by was different from them.

Since Shadow Six was the one driving the ox cart, it was obvious who the owner of the new residence was.

She wondered why that young master would move here and happened to be her neighbor. However, it was an indisputable fact that he had saved Lotus Flower Village. Coupled with the time when he chased off Yu Zigui, she owed him a lot of favors.

After Yu Wan made dinner for Bruiser and Madam Jiang, she carefully prepared a few pounds of cured meat and braised meat that her uncle had personally made and brought it to the door to thank a certain young master.

The villagers had dispersed for a long time. Perhaps thinking that no one would come again, the door was closed.

Yu Wan knocked on the door politely.

Creak—

The wooden door that had fallen into disrepair was pulled open from the inside.

The people who opened the door were none other than three little lads who had just taken a shower. When the little fellows saw that it was Yu Wan, they were shocked!

Yu Wan did not expect it to be them either. Not only did this guy move here himself, but he also “kidnapped” his sons?

Yu Wan was overjoyed. The corners of her lips curled up and she subconsciously reached out to touch the three children’s heads. Unexpectedly, the three of them seemed to have been electrocuted. They cowered in fear and ran away without looking back!

Yu Wan, whose arm was frozen in midair: “…What, what’s going on?”

Why did the children who used to like her so much run away when they saw her today?

“Hmph!” Shadow Thirteen walked over with an old hen and glanced coldly at Yu Wan. “It’s all because you broke your promise!”

Broke my promise? When did I…

The Wei Manor.

Yu Wan remembered that on the night she was attacked by the assassins of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, she had promised the three little fellows that she would definitely visit them the next time she entered the Capital. On the day of Old Mrs. Wei’s birthday, she entered the Capital, but she changed her mind on the way to the Young Master Manor.

“They know that I’ve entered the Capital?” Yu Wan looked at Shadow Thirteen.

Shadow Thirteen said coldly, “Hmph, is there anything in the world that the Young Master doesn’t know?”

Yu Wan did not care about his sarcastic tone. Her mind was filled with the three little fellows turning around and running away. She really did not expect them to know that she had entered the Capital. She thought that if she did not appear for a while, they would forget about her.

Great, now they know everything.

Yu Wan’s first reaction was that they were angry and blamed her for not keeping her promise.

“Can I go and see them?” Yu Wan asked Shadow Thirteen when she didn’t see Yan Jiuchao and Uncle Wan.

Shadow Thirteen rolled his eyes. He didn’t say if she could or couldn’t. He grabbed the old hen and went to the backyard.

Yu Wan took it that he had agreed. She placed the cured meat and braised meat on the table and walked towards the bedroom that the three children had just run into.

The door was closed, but it wasn’t locked. That’s right, the little fellows were too short. They couldn’t lock it even if they wanted to.

Yu Wan gently pushed the door open.

The three little fellows were sticking out their butts and rummaging through a large box.

When Yu Wan entered, the three of them hurriedly straightened their bodies and hid the things they had found behind their backs. The three of them did not say anything. They looked nervous and awkward.

Yu Wan vaguely felt that they didn’t seem to be angry, but other than being angry, Yu Wan couldn’t think of why they were avoiding her.

The closer Yu Wan got, the more tense the three of them became.

Was it an illusion? She actually felt a trace of fear and panic from them.

Yu Wan squatted down in front of the three of them and looked gently into their eyes.

“That day…”

Just as she was about to speak and explain to them what happened that day, they suddenly took out something that they had hidden behind their backs. It was three crumpled pieces of white paper, each with a crooked word written on it.

Yu Wan tried to understand it for half a day.

Man (Ren), Of (Zhi), Knife (Dao).

It was the beginning of man, right? [Note: Half of the Chu in Ren Zhi Chu is Dao in chinese.]

Such young children actually knew how to write? Although they made a mistake, it was already very impressive. Little Bruiser was already six years old, but he couldn’t even hold a brush steadily!

What Yu Wan did not know was that in order to raise a few famous prodigies, Yan Ruyu had invited a teacher for them early on.

Children who were less than two years old were forced to practice calligraphy in the harsh winter and heat. If they didn’t finish writing, they wouldn’t be given anything to eat. However, the three of them were extremely stubborn. They refused to write even if they were starved to death!

The teachers changed one after another. Yan Ruyu was so angry that her eyes were about to split open and her blood surged! Although she did not manage to dissuade them in the end, her angry words inevitably hurt them.

Therefore, at such a young age, they vaguely understood that they were children that even their own mother hated.

No one liked them.

The three little fellows carefully handed the words that they had practiced countless times to Yu Wan.

They were obedient babies.

They could write.

Please don’t dislike them.
