Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Truly Stunning and Brilliant

After sending off the guests, Jiang Changtao grabbed a thick wooden stick from the pile of firewood and, with a face ashen as iron, dragged Jiang Zhiwu toward the inner room.

The poor little face of Jiang Zhiwu turned deathly pale as he cried out to Zhang Guihua, “Grandma, save me, Dad’s going to beat me to death.”

“Laosan, what are you doing?” Zhang Guihua hurried forward a few steps, trying to pull her grandson from her youngest son’s hands.

“Mom, don’t interfere! After so many years of study, he scores only thirty points, completely losing face for me. I must discipline him today!” Jiang Changtao forcefully dragged his son into the room, and with a slam, he shut the door.

The next second, the sound of the stick hitting flesh echoed alongside Jiang Zhiwu’s wails, “Waah! Dad, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!”

“Laosan…”

Zhang Guihua, anxious, wanted to go into the room to stop him, but Jiang Dashan called out to her, “It’s only right for a father to discipline his son; don’t go making trouble. If it could truly make Zhiwu concentrate and study hard, then not just a beating, but ten beatings would be worth it.”

“What if Laosan goes too far and hurts Zhiwu?” Zhang Guihua’s face filled with worry, looking as if Laosan really intended to beat him senseless.

“He’s his own son, would he really go that far? Enough, enough, don’t worry about it. Today is San Ya’s big day; go cut a plate of cured meat. Tonight, I want to honor our ancestors. Let me tell them that the Old Jiang Family has produced a child prodigy and share our joy, hoping they’d bless San Ya to be admitted to a university and bring glory to our family,” said Jiang Dashan, his face beaming, not having felt this happy in a long time.

Zhang Guihua looked at the locked door of the third branch, and could only sigh, “Ah, old man, you’re right. Such a big event indeed needs to be reported to our ancestors. I’ll go prepare right away and cook two more eggs for San Ya; one can’t study without proper nutrition.”

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to cook eggs for Jiang Mianmian, an unprecedented change that could practically be recorded in the Jiang Family’s history books.

But she didn’t forget to shout a reminder, “Laosan, take it easy, that’s your own son you’re hitting, and no one will provide for you in old age if you hurt him.”

Her words were met with Zhiwu’s even more pitiful howling, making Zhiwen, who stood nearby, shiver with fear, knowing that once his own grades were out, he wouldn’t be spared a harsh beating either.

Sun Lixia’s heart clenched in pain hearing her son’s heart-wrenching cries, but if he wasn’t disciplined, he wouldn’t grow up to amount to anything.

Zhaodi, however, felt extremely satisfied, thinking that such a waste of social resources – a good-for-nothing – deserved to be beaten to death!

“Big Brother and Second Brother are so pitiful,” said the barely five-year-old Laidi in a small, pale voice, having lost all envy for her older brothers who got to eat better things.

Jiang Mianmian nodded in agreement; they really were pitiful as poor students!

The system once again righteously corrected, “Host, please be more confident. Not only are you not a poor student now, but everyone sees you as a child prodigy, and with the system’s help, you’ll soon become a truly extraordinary genius!”

Jiang Mianmian suddenly realized: That’s right, she now belonged to the group of highly intelligent people.

The thought alone filled her with bliss.

She had scored double hundreds on her test this time, and the system had rewarded her with ten intelligence points. Too lazy to ponder over the distribution of intelligence points, she simply added them all to her imagination, which had the lowest points.

The system displayed the following after adding the intelligence points —

Memory (200): 147

Observation (200): 104

Attention (200): 110

Thinking (200): 109

Imagination (200): 112

Average intelligence value: 116.4 (Higher intelligence 110-120)
