”Cough cough, that … I'm fine now, go back to your rooms and rest.” I'll clean the courtyard first. ”

Seeing Zhou Xian and her beautiful sisters staring at him fixedly, as if they wanted to see through him, Xiao Wen felt quite uncomfortable. He threw the machete into the corner and laughed dryly.

Then he picked up his broom and began sweeping the floor with his back to them, praying that they would not ask him any questions.

However, this was always the case in this world. The more one was afraid of something, the more likely it would be that something would happen.

Zhou Xian walked forward with graceful steps. She frowned as she stared at him and said, ”You seem very strange today. Your words and actions are very different from before. It is like you have suddenly become a different person.”

Xiao Wen remained expressionless as he chuckled, ”What's so strange about that? I just suddenly thought of a few things and decided to change myself from today onwards.”

”What did you figure out?” Zhou Xian frowned.

”I am the only man in the family and the pillar of support. It should be me who makes money to support my family and protect you. This is my responsibility and responsibility as a man!”

Xiao Wen looked at her with burning eyes. He said with a sincere tone, ”It was my fault for making you worry for so many years. I'm very sorry.”

”But don't worry. From today onwards, as long as I am here, you two sisters will never suffer or suffer any more harm. This is my promise to you all! ” Xiao Wen held his head high and said loudly.

Zhou Xian stared at him silently with her starry eyes.

Xiao Wen felt a little scared by her gaze. He wondered what she meant by that. Could it be that there was something wrong with what he had just said?

”Alright, since this is your promise, I hope that you can keep your word. I'll be waiting to see. ” After a long while, Zhou Xian retracted her aggressive gaze and said lightly.

Then, she gracefully turned around and entered the house with her sister, Zhou Wei.

Xiao Wen secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and heaved a long sigh of relief.

”Seems like this sister-in-law is not just a ferocious person. Her gentleness is mixed with her coldness, her elegance with her power. She clearly looks like a gentle woman, but she still gives off a domineering aura. It's simply a contradiction; it's too hard to figure it out.” Xiao Wen muttered to himself.

When he thought about how he would have to spend time with her in the future, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

”Sir, sir, you chased away more than a dozen bad guys by yourself just now. It's really amazing!” A petite and adorable little figure jogged in from the door and excitedly shouted at him. Her big watery eyes were filled with little stars of worship.

Seeing her, Xiao Wen immediately felt the worries in his heart fly out of his mind. He picked her up, and laughed: ”Really? Then how powerful do you think I am? ”

”Ugh …” Just like the big wolfdog next door, because it also often chased the people on the street all over the place. ” Wan-Er poked her cute chin with her little finger, and said seriously after thinking for a while.

Xiao Wen's face turned dark instantly. This little girl, is there anyone who prizes others like you?

”Oh right, why do you and Little Guan Yu keep calling me 'mister'?”

”Since father and mother say that you are a teacher of the academy, we must address you as' Teacher '.”

”You've already started school?”

Wan'er's bright eyes dimmed, she bit her lips and shook her head, ”No.” Father said that the academy's fees are too high and our family cannot afford it. Furthermore, girls don't need to study at all, they just need to find a good husband and get married in the future. ”

As these words came out of the mouth of such a cute 7-8 year old girl, Xiao Wen suddenly felt that this was a very cruel thing to do.

His mind stirred as he looked at Wan'er, whose eyes were slightly red. ”Do you want to study then?”

Wan-Er looked up at him and nodded, ”Yes!”

”Alright, then how about you let me teach you how to read and write, mister?”

”Really?” Wan-Er's eyes lit up.

After receiving Xiao Wen's confirmation, she immediately hugged his neck in joy and rushed out of his embrace towards the ground. He kept on yelling, ”Wow, I can also read and write now! Brother Guan, I can read and write! ”Teacher has already promised to teach me how to read and write!”

Seeing that she was so happy that he couldn't even speak properly, Xiao Wen couldn't help but grin. This little girl was simply too adorable.

”Sir, sir, I also want to read and write.” The red-faced Guan Yu eagerly ran into the house. When he saw Xiao Wen, he immediately used both of his hands to grab his arms and looked at him pitifully. It would be so pitiful to say so.

”Fine, since you also want to learn, then I'll teach them together.” Xiao Wen laughed.

”Me too. Me too.”

It was unknown where this little guy came from, but before he could see him, his voice had already started shouting. When Xiao Wen saw him, he realized that it was a little boy around the same age as Wan'Er.

”What's your name? ”How old are you this year?” Xiao Wen asked with a smile.

”Mister, my name is Zhuge Liang. I'm already seven years old this year.” The little boy very respectfully bowed to him and replied in a childish voice.

Xiao Wen stared at him dumbfoundedly.

F * ck me!
