Chapter 1014 Martial Arts Teacher
Jiang Wan glanced at Cheng Zewen thoughtfully and found that he was lowering his head and twisting his sleeves with his hands.
He hasn't felt so awkward in a long time since he returned home.
"Okay, Huai'an, your brother doesn't want to go, so let mom take you."
Shen Huaian was about to say something, but Jiang Wan patted him on the back gently to stop him.
After leaving, she explained it again to prevent Shen Huaian from getting confused.
"Zewen has low self-esteem now because of his health."
"Once my body recovers from the surgery, I will become more confident."
"Besides, his body is really weak now and he can't do high-intensity exercise."
"He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up if he went, so he simply didn't go."
"Zewen is very sad right now, so don't ask too much. If you ask too much, he will be even sadder."
"If you feel embarrassed, then learn seriously from the teacher and learn your brother's part as well. Then protect him well when you are out there. This is better than anything else."
Shen Huaian gradually realized the problem under Jiang Wan's persuasion.
He nodded seriously to show that he understood.
"Mom, I understand. I will study hard and won't let you down."
"After I learn this, I will protect my brother well and never let anyone bully him again!"
Jiang Wan nodded with satisfaction and took Shen Huaian to the uncle's residence.
At this time, the uncle was cleaning the house seriously with a rag.
"Uncle, I've brought the child here. You can take a look at the situation when you have time."
Jiang Wan gave Shen Huaian a look, and he quickly picked up the rag and took the initiative to help with the work.
"Master, let me help you clean up too."
Shen Huaian was originally a diligent child, and after coming here, he felt like he was at home.
He swept the floor and wiped the table, doing his work very seriously.
For him, these are the most basic tasks.
Compared to being a beggar and suffering outside and having to please people, I feel so much happier now.
His friendly attitude and efficient work quickly won the uncle's favor.
The uncle stopped what he was doing, looked at him quietly for a while, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"This child looks good. I'll take him."
"If you have something to do, go and do your own thing first. Let him stay this afternoon and learn something from me before he leaves."
The uncle took the initiative to speak, Jiang Wan turned his head and looked at Shen Huaian and asked.
"Huaian, what do you think?"
"I listen to Master."
"Master, since I am learning from you, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future."
Shen Huaian behaved very well, and the uncle nodded with satisfaction after watching him.
"Although this child is a little weak, his attitude towards learning is very good."
"As long as you train with me for a period of time, your physical fitness will gradually improve."
"If you want to truly learn skills, you still have to persevere for a long time. I wonder if you can endure this hardship?"
The uncle narrowed his eyes, with a hint of distrust in his expression.
Shen Huaian straightened his chest and patted it to assure.
"Master, I can do it. The teacher said that only those who have endured the most hardships can become the best."
"I am weak and incompetent, so I am often bullied."
"Now I just want to become strong and have absolute power, so that others will be afraid of me in the future."
Shen Huaian had fought for his life among the beggars, so there was a bit of hostility in his voice when he said these words.
"I don't know what you've been through in the past. Why are you more violent than a soldier like me?"
The uncle frowned and asked with a puzzled look.
"Maybe our experience is richer than yours."
"You are Huai'an's master now. If there is anything to come, let him tell you himself."
"I still have work to do, so I'll leave first."
"Huaian, after you finish studying here, do you want your mother to pick you up or do you want to go home by yourself?"
Jiang Wan treated Shen Huaian like an adult and took the initiative to discuss everything with him.
"Mom, this place is not far from home. Can I go home by myself?"
Shen Huaian looked at her expectantly, and Jiang Wan nodded in agreement readily.
"Okay, Mom respects your choice."
Jiang Wan left, and the uncle stared at her departing back for a long time.
It was the first time he saw a mother and son interacting like this.
They respect and understand each other. Although they are mother and son, they get along like good friends.
Shen Huaian followed his gaze and said with a smile.
"Master, my mother is very good to me, right? But she is not my biological mother."
"She is the lifesaver of my family. When my mother was sick, she helped me take her to the hospital, but unfortunately she died in the end."
"I was left alone after my mother died, and she took me in because she felt sorry for me."
"My mother is very kind to me. She taught me a lot and met my reasonable requests unconditionally."
"She saw me being bullied at school and heard that I wanted to learn martial arts, so she invited you over a few days later."
Shen Huaian stared at his mother's back, watching her walk away.
The uncle came back to his senses, nodded and said.
"Your mother is really good to you. You should treat her well in the future."
"Even if you learn martial arts, you can't use it against the people closest to you."
"Before learning martial arts, you should at least be clear about why you want to learn martial arts."
"What was your original intention in learning martial arts? Can you continue to persevere as always?"
"If you feel you can't do it now, you might as well give up."
The uncle had a stern face and looked very serious.
Shen Huaian straightened his chest and looked over. He said this without any hesitation.
"Mom is my savior and the person who loves me the most in the world. I know what to do without you telling me."
"But now that Master has reminded me seriously, I will take this matter more seriously than before."
Shen Huaian's firm attitude made the uncle feel that he was wasting his time.
"Your name is Shen Huaian, right? I'll remember you."
"That's all for today's sanitation. Let's start training next."
"Your physical fitness is very poor, and your flexibility is not very good either. You need to improve in these two aspects."
"Running and skipping are essential to improving your physical fitness. Run 20 laps around this section now."
"Every time you come here, run first and then do other training. Only when your physical fitness improves can you do subsequent training."
"This is a long process and cannot be completed overnight. You have to have this ideological awareness."
"If you can't endure the hardship at the beginning, it will be even harder to persevere later."
The uncle made various requests with a serious face, and his words were cold and ruthless.
Shen Huaian nodded seriously and ran out.
"Master, does it count as one circle if we start from here, go around those houses, and come back here again?"
