Chapter 457 (2/2)
It's obvious to all what happened when Zhou Leping crossed this road. It's much more difficult for a woman to be a general than a man, and she pays more. This road is too hard. She promised her father to take good care of her and never let her be the same as herself.
”What kind of general do you want to be? You're a girl. You just need to be safe all your life. Don't even think about it, general!”
She was resolute, and it was frightening to lose her temper. For the first time, Xiaowan stepped back timidly, ”why? You can do it. Why can't I? I want to be like you, too. ”
”No, I can't if I say no!” She didn't have any room for negotiation. ”You can do whatever you want, but don't think about being a general. I'll give up the idea of becoming an official in the future.”
Xiaowan turns to see Zhu GuanLiang wrongly. She hopes Zhu GuanLiang can help her, but he doesn't seem to want to step in and help her.
”I know what I owe you now. I'll give it back to you when I grow up!”
Xiaowan stubbornly insists on her own idea, thinking that what Zhou Leping cares about is the money spent on her. She thinks that if she guarantees Zhou Leping, she will agree, but Zhou Leping's face looks even darker.
Zhu GuanLiang beckons Xiaowan to let her pass.
In Xiaowan's heart, Zhu GuanLiang was far more genial and gentle than Zhou Leping. Naturally, he wanted to be closer to him, so he walked slowly.
Zhu GuanLiang pinched her face. ”Is there anything else I want to do besides the general?”
”No, I just want to be like my aunt and my father. I'm not afraid of hardship. Master punishes me. I never cry. I can be a general.”
”Afraid of death?”
”Not afraid.”
Zhu GuanLiang asked again, ”are you really not afraid?”
Xiao Wan nodded heavily, ”not afraid!”
Not afraid of two words just finished, I don't know where Zhu GuanLiang took out the dagger suddenly against Xiaowan's neck.
Xiao Wan was so scared that Zhou Leping was also surprised. ”What are you doing, Zhu GuanLiang?”
Zhu GuanLiang pierced a small piece of her skin, and blood beads about the size of her pinnose came out. He didn't mean to stop. He asked again, ”are you afraid now?”
Xiao Wan's eyes were red and he didn't dare to move“ General, it's not as easy to do as you think. Every day someone takes a knife to the most dangerous place on your body. Do you know how painful it is to cut a long wound with a knife through the skin and flesh? ” Zhou Leping was afraid that he would hurt Xiaowan by accident, so he asked him to put down the dagger first. As if he could not listen to her, Zhu GuanLiang asked Xiaowan, ”do you still feel the prestige of being a general? Do you want to be a general?” Xiao Wan was scared to shiver, but after thinking about it, he nodded, ”yes!” The breath is not enough, but the idea has not changed at all. Zhu GuanLiang put away the dagger and rubbed a little blood on her neck with his thumb. ”As long as you don't regret it, no one can stop you.” Zhou Leping was so angry that he said, ”she can't be a general. I'd rather she didn't do anything in her life, but as long as she can live well, even if she hates me and blames me in the future, I don't want her to go the same way as me.” Zhu GuanLiang said, ”she is her, you are you, how do you know that she will not go further and better than you?”“ No way Zhu GuanLiang shook his head, ”you are always like this. You are stubborn and self righteous. You take it for granted. Do you think you are right?” Xiao Wan was confused. He thought they were because of their quarrel, but he didn't think it was because of himself. She pulled Zhou Leping's sleeve, ”aunt...” Zhou Leping turned and walked to the table to sit down, ”she's not your child, of course you can't understand my mood.” Zhu GuanLiang hissed, ”are my children the same to me? You and I have no right to control what she should do. You are not an obedient person. Why should you ask her to obey you?”
