As soon as Mr. Du finished speaking, his wife who had just walked in chimed in, "You won't be at ease unless you criticize them every day. It's been so many years, yet you're still the same."
For a moment, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
After being teased by his wife, Mr. Du wasn't angry: "If I hadn't been constantly pushing them with perseverance, they wouldn't have achieved what they have today."
Mrs. Du looked at her old husband clowning around, shook her head, and smiled, "Alright, alright, it's all thanks to you."
Just then, his eldest disciple, Ma Chengxi, spoke up: "Shīniáng, actually, my master is not wrong. If he hadn't forced us to study every day back then, we probably wouldn't have gotten to where we are today."
Hearing his eldest disciple's words, Mr. Du looked smug: "See, even they admit it, while you're always speaking up for them."
He even pretended to snort indignantly.
