"But... I don't understand - when did the General show kindness to us?"

As soon as Chotaro said this, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Be it Xiye or Ahe, everyone looked horrified.

Especially Ah He - her eyes suddenly widened, and her eyeballs bulged out like goldfish.

Chotaro did not notice the change in the atmosphere around him, and continued on by himself:

"This rice was grown by farmers, and these clothes were woven by craftsmen."

"The money to buy rice and clothes is my father's hard-earned money."

"The fragrant rice and clean clothes are all cooked and cleaned by my mother."

"Whether it's eating or getting dressed, the General has never given me any help."

"I really can't think of any reason for me to thank General..."

"I think about it...the people I should really thank are the farmers who grow rice, the craftsmen who weave, the father who works hard, and the mother who works hard..."

Snap——!

Before Chotaro could finish his words, he was interrupted by a huge collision of limbs.

Ahe ran up to Changtaro and slapped him hard on the left side of his face.

Judging from the wind pressure created when throwing out the slap, Ah He showed no mercy at all, she almost used her full strength.

Although Ah He is old, she is still an adult.

The adults hit hard with all their strength...how could the 5-year-old Chotaro withstand it?

The moment Ah He's slap hit Chotaro's left cheek, Chotaro flew straight away and flew two steps away before landing back on the tatami.

As if by magic, the left half of Chotaro's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just the blink of an eye, the originally delicate face swelled up into a tall hill.

Chotaro did not react to the sudden change in front of him for a moment.

It wasn't until a moment later that he covered his injured face and burst into tears.

"Ooohhhhhhhhhhhh!"

However, even so, Ah He still refused to let him go.

"You beast!"

Ahe yelled and ran towards Changtaro again.

Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Nishino stood up.

Nishino's wife protected Chotaro.

As for Nishino himself, he stood between his mother and his son.

"Mother! Please calm down!"

Nishino used his own body as a shield and hugged Ahe tightly, preventing Ahe from getting close to Changtaro.

In terms of strength, the aging Ah He would naturally not be Nishino's opponent.

However, Ah He was not inferior at all in terms of momentum.

"You beast! What the hell are you talking about!"

Ah He's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were blazing with anger, and his face was red due to blood congestion in his head. He looked like a Yaksha from hell.

"If there is no General, where would you be?!"

"How could you say such outrageous things!"

"Are you still a warrior?"

"Hojiro! Let me go! Let me go!"

Nishino knew very well that God knew what would happen if he let go of his mother who was now in a fit of rage.

So, not only did he disobey his mother's orders, but he hugged her even harder.

"Asu! Take Chotaro back to the room!"

Nishino took the opportunity to turn his head and shouted to his wife behind him.

Asu - the name of Nishino's wife.

When Nishino's wife heard this, she didn't dare to delay, so she quickly picked up Chotaro and fled from the living room.

After confirming that his wife and son were far away, Xiye turned back and concentrated on comforting Ahe in his arms.

"Mother! Please calm down! Are you planning to kill someone like this? Are you planning to beat your grandson to death?"

Xiye's words restored some clarity to Ahe's eyes.

She stopped making noises and struggling violently.

After taking several deep breaths, she looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Unfortunate family! Unlucky family! Our Nishino family has always been loyal and loyal from generation to generation, how could such a scum come out!"

After saying that, Ah He looked like he was about to cry.

Nishino comforted:

"Mother, please don't be sad or angry."

"Chotaro is only 5 years old this year, and he is not old enough to be sensible yet."

"When he grows up, he will naturally understand the great kindness of the General."

As soon as Xiye finished speaking, Ahe turned his sharp eyes towards him.

"Hosejiro, stop using your age as an excuse!"

Ah He gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.

"Look at how old you are at 3 years old! Chotaro already has such rebellious thoughts at such a young age. How can he still have it when he grows up?"

"I must rebuke him severely and correct his wrong thinking!"

"How is it unbecoming for a member of the royal family to question the general's kindness?!"

Looking at his still-angry mother, Nishino turned his helpless emotion into a voice with "Alas".

Just when he was about to say something more, he suddenly paused as if he remembered something.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window.

If conditions permit, Xiye really wants to persuade Ah He a few more words to calm her down completely.

However...he still has important things to do.

Not long ago, Nishino and his grandson Chutaro, the "Dragon of Fire", worked together to capture the suspicious person who was lingering at the murder scene of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters. Nishino has been busy interrogating this person today.

Three poles in the sun - before I knew it, it was already this time.

If we continue to get entangled with Ah He, it will have a very negative impact on today's work.

Therefore, Xi Ye had to say to Ahe:

"Mother, I must go to serve my father-in-law now."

"Until I return home, please refrain from admonishing Chotaro for the time being."

Hearing what Xi Ye said, Ah He suddenly looked dissatisfied.

She opened her mouth and was about to speak out, but Nishino interrupted her:

"Chotaro was indeed rude just now."

"He does deserve to be reprimanded."

"But you shouldn't reprimand him in the way you are now."

"Even if you want to educate the younger generation, you should not act like you want to kill someone!"

Xi Ye's sharp criticism directly refuted Ah He speechless.

"……I see."

Ah He took a deep breath.

"You're right...I'm really feeling a little excited now."

"I promise you, I won't reprimand Chotaro before you return home."

As soon as Ah He said this, Xi Ye felt relieved immediately.

If we want to talk about Ah He's greatest advantage, it must be that she never doubles standards.

She is strict with others as well as herself.

While using Bushido to strictly demand her children and grandchildren, she set an example and also used Bushido to strictly demand herself.
