A chill ran through Gu Zhong.
'That's right,' he thought. 'I've been so obsessed with having a son. For one, I was afraid of people calling me heirless. But more importantly, wasn't it because I was counting on a son to support me when I'm old and can no longer work?'
'This brat… he only ever thinks of himself. He even dares to steal his grandmother's food. Can I really count on him in the future?'
Gu Zhong shot to his feet, hauled Bao'er away from Ms. Qian, and landed several hard slaps on his bottom. "I'll teach you to be unfilial! I'll teach you to steal your grandmother's food! You little bastard, you think you're above the law!"
Bao'er shrieked and wailed from the beating.
Gu Fei, eating her dough drops and listening to the commotion, commented slowly, "When a child misbehaves, it's usually because they've been spoiled. A good beating will sort them out."
