Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Lan Yunxi snatched the ruler from Han Yue's hand, but Han Yue, afraid of hurting her, gave it to her instead.

Han Yinuo pleaded for her brother, "Dad, I'll check my brother's homework from now on. I promise he'll finish it every day."

Seeing his sister pleading for forgiveness, Han Yichen suddenly admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, there won't be a next time."

Han's mother was furious. "If you had admitted your mistake earlier, you wouldn't have been beaten so many times. From now on, study hard with Nuonuo."

This time, Han's mother was also angry. She knew that her grandson would be ruined if he continued like this, and that it was still not too late to correct him.

Han Yue stood with his hands on his hips, staring at his son, so angry he almost vomited blood. He never thought he would be so angry at his son that he almost had a heart attack. He let out a breath and said, "First, starting today, your phone is confiscated. Second, you can only go to sleep after Nuonuo has checked your homework. If it's too late, bring it over for me to check. Third, you're grounded. You don't need to attend any parties. You'll be released when you get a total score of 550 or above."

550?

He struggled a lot to get a score of 301; his dad's ideas are way too far-fetched.

"Dad, do you have some misunderstanding about my grades? I can agree to the previous ones, but this 550 is too arbitrary a score you set. Also, do you even understand my homework when I check it for you?" Han Yichen said the last sentence very softly.

Just as Han Yue was about to lose his temper again, Lan Yunxi quickly grabbed Han Yue's hand, held it tightly, and scratched his palm. Han Yue softened his tone a bit, "550 is non-negotiable. My grades are more than enough to check your homework. Instead of worrying about me, you should spend more time thinking about how to improve your grades."

Han Yue knew his son could pass the exam; his computer skills were superb, how could he be so stupid?

Han's father urged, "Alright, it's settled then. Listen to your father. He's thought this number through carefully. 550 it is. Grandpa Xiaochen has high hopes for you. Go upstairs and finish yesterday's homework. Go on. Nuonuo, help your brother check his homework from today and yesterday. Help him with anything he doesn't understand."

Han Yinuo agreed softly, "Okay, Grandpa, brother, let's go."

She pushed her brother upstairs. Han Yichen struggled to lift his feet, supporting himself on his bottom. Han Yinuo offered to help, but her brother refused.

We went upstairs.

Han Yichen slowly sat down, sitting on one side of his bottom, the other half sticking out, not daring to sit down completely. He raised one hand. Han Yinuo felt sorry for her brother, so she took out all his homework, spread it out on the table, and stuffed the pen into his hand. She glanced at the blank test paper and said, "Brother, hurry up, there are several test papers."

Han Yichen picked up his pen and muttered, "Damn Su Can, why did he have to invent this? Being confined to the house, it's killing me! My uncle is too talented, how come he's playing this confinement game like he's from ancient times? I'm not a lady from a wealthy family."

"Brother, hurry up, it's late."

"Nono, why don't you let me copy your test paper? There's nowhere to copy faster, so you can go to bed earlier, right?"

Han Yinuo felt that her brother was asking for trouble again and sternly refused, "No, do it yourself. Even if you do it until dawn, Dad will stay with you while I'm asleep."

Han Yichen looked at his sister's determined eyes with helplessness and sighed, "Sigh, you're making things worse. You said nine years of compulsory education is over, why are you upgrading to 12 years of education? Studying is too complicated."

"You'd be much faster at doing your homework if you used the time you spend talking."

With his younger sister watching over him, Han Yichen had no choice but to lower his head and do his homework seriously. Han Yinuo sat beside him, watching him meticulously and pointing out any mistakes directly to avoid having to check them later. She checked each of her brother's homework as he did it.

downstairs.

The whole family was discussing how to save little Han Yichen, while Han Yichen upstairs was thinking about how there are ways to circumvent the policies from above and how to deal with them from below, all while doing his homework.

Han's mother glanced at the other three and offered her opinion, "During the school year, try to keep Can Can and Xiao Chen from spending too much time together. It's never a good thing when these two kids are together. They're either plotting to copy homework or looking for shortcuts."

Mr. Han nodded in agreement, "Sister Lu is right. It's not that Can Can is bad, but Can Can has a lazy attitude. He just wants to lie on the ground and thinks he doesn't need to work hard because he has three younger brothers. He's smart. Xiao Chen was a bit naughty when he was in elementary school, but he rarely spoke. Now he has a lot of excuses. In terms of temperament, he's like Xiao Yue. There's nothing we can do about it; it's hereditary."

Han Yue: "............"

Han's mother continued, "Xiao Yu has already implemented the plan for Can Can. The main reason Can Can's grades have improved is because of her attitude."

Lan Yunxi: "I agree with Mom's idea. Can Can is grounded now, and if we ground Xiao Chen too, we should be able to change things."

Han Yue established a rule: "Now that it's set, no one can go back on their word, and cheating will not happen with me."

Han's father: "............" Why didn't you just say it directly? You brat, you're so sarcastic.

Han's mother also turned to look at Han's father. When it came to education, Han's mother sided with her son. Lan Yunxi lowered her head; she was also involved in the cheating.

A few seconds later, seeing that no one spoke, Han's mother made the final decision, "This matter is settled. We'll follow Xiaoyue's arrangements."

Lan Yunxi asked softly, in a pleading tone, "Brother Yue, could you please not hit so hard next time?" She felt a little sorry for him; his hand seemed swollen.

Meeting Xiao Xi's pleading eyes, Han Yue almost lost his composure. He remained silent for a while before sticking to his bottom line: "I won't hit him unless he makes a mistake."

I used to beat him up secretly, but today I beat him up openly in front of the whole family.

Downstairs, the rules were set. Upstairs, Han Yichen had already finished a test paper. Han Yinuo discovered that her brother wasn't incapable of doing the test; in fact, he was quite fast at answering questions, and his accuracy was decent, not too bad. It was just that he probably slept through class and couldn't answer some of the questions. She explained them to him briefly, and he understood.

After finishing a test paper, Han Yinuo was checking the last two questions.

Han Yichen took his phone out of the drawer and said to his sister, "I'm just checking if there are any messages in the group chat. Isn't it going to be taken away soon?"

Han Yinuo, being soft-hearted, did not stop him. She spread out the English test paper in front of her brother and told him to do it later.

Han Yichen opened his phone and read through the chat history from earlier that day. He came across his brother's roll call message, but he ignored it as if he hadn't seen it.

I guess my brother must have found out he hadn't finished his homework, so he's not letting him attend the party anymore. Now, even if he's not excluded, he can't go out; he's grounded.

The thought of being grounded made him curse Su Can a thousand times in his mind. If Su Can's phone hadn't been confiscated by his uncle, he would have sent him a message to give him a good scolding.

2 hours later.

Han Yue pushed open the door to the room, reached out to his son who was still doing his homework, and commanded, "Phone."

Han Yichen opened the drawer, readily handed the phone to his father, and then turned to do his homework seriously, looking like he had turned over a new leaf.

Before her father could ask, Han Yinuo reported softly, "Dad, my brother has already finished some of his homework. He still has Chinese to do today, and he also has to memorize some classical Chinese texts."

Han Yue raised his hand and glanced at the watch Xiao Xi had given him, realizing it was already 9:30. "Nuonuo, go wash your face and go to bed. Don't read too late tonight; you can read tomorrow. Dad will keep an eye on him. Go on, girls shouldn't stay up late."

Han Yichen: He suspects he was picked up from a trash can; he's being treated differently.

Seeing that his daughter was a little worried, Han Yue softened his voice and coaxed her, "Go ahead, don't worry, Dad won't hit him if he does his homework well, I promise."

Seeing her father's assurance, Han Yinuo nodded and said to her older brother, who was still doing his homework, "Brother, I'm going to bed."

Han Yichen: "Okay, go ahead."

Seeing his younger sister's slight worry, Han Yichen added, "I promise I'll finish writing before bed, and I'll be able to memorize all the classical Chinese texts."

After her brother's repeated assurances and her father's promise not to hit her, Han Yinuo finally left her brother's room.

Before long, Lan Yunxi arrived again. Han Yue took a deep breath. With his wife and daughter around, it was really difficult to discipline this brat. Fortunately, Sister Lu didn't come.

"Brother Yue, should I keep an eye on things?" Lan Yunxi was also afraid that the father and son would clash again later, as they were both stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.

Han Yue stood up, pinched Xiao Xi's neck, and said to his son who was writing, "I'll take your mother back to her room. You write well, I'll be right back."

Han Yichen didn't respond, pretending not to hear.

Lan Yunxi was led to the bedroom by Han Yue, who patted her shoulder and said, "Be good, go to sleep early. I'll be back in a bit, okay?"

"Okay, then don't fight. He's actually quite well-behaved. If you talk to him nicely, he might listen."

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead."

After watching Xiao Xi get into bed, Han Yue left the room, closed the door, and strode back to his son's room. Just as he entered, his parents came in and were about to ask questions when the impatient Han Yue stopped him, saying, "What you just said was all nonsense."

Han's mother swallowed back what she wanted to say, sticking to her principles, "Let's go to sleep first."

Before Mr. Han could say anything more, Mrs. Han pulled him back with a strong tug.

At the door, Han's father asked, "Won't these two get into a fight later? Xiao Chen will get beaten up again."

"That's enough. Don't let it affect your son's teaching of the child. Keep your heartache to yourself. This child really needs to work harder. If he can't endure the hardship of studying, he'll have to endure the hardship of life. What kind of hardship do you want your grandson to suffer in the future?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Mr. Han immediately replied, "He should still focus on his studies. This child really needs to work harder. Go to sleep, go to sleep." As he said this, he still turned his head to glance at his grandson's tightly closed bedroom door.

This is what is called grandparental pampering. When I used to hit my son, I would raise my hand to hit him in a fit of anger. Now, I feel heartbroken when I see my grandson being beaten.
