Chapter 249

Thinking of all the disobedient things this girl did in the past, Mr. Xue felt disgusted in his heart. But he also knew that now was not the time to vent his anger, but to settle the matter.

"Since you want to listen, then listen." The tone was the same as before, but everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his voice.

Zhao'er couldn't hear it, so he stood aside.

Seeing this, Mrs. Sun hurriedly dragged Xue Qinghuai to stay.

"Since Zhao'er has stayed, let's stay and listen too." She laughed along with her.

Mr. Xue was immediately furious: "Since you want to listen, stay and listen."

So everyone stayed, including the four-year-old Mao Dan, and even Mrs. Zhou, who was busy in the kitchen, stayed behind under the guise of cleaning the table.

In the huge main room, only an oil lamp was lit on the square table. The wick was jumping and shadowy, and everyone's eyes were on Mr. Xue. But he suddenly didn't know where to start. He looked around everyone's faces with heavy eyes, and finally fell on Xue Tingxiang's face.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to talk about what the boss said a while ago that he wants to send the child to the school in the town."

Zhao'er was inexplicably nervous, and couldn't help but glance at Xue Tingxiang, and then went to see Mr. Xue.

Dafang and his wife were overjoyed, they knew it would happen, and it was not in vain for them to swallow their anger for many days.

Xue Qingshan couldn't hide the joy on his face, he looked at Xue Tingxiang with pity and compassion, then looked at other people, and finally fell on Xue Tingxiang.

"Dog, don't be discouraged. You are still much worse than your talented brother. You will study with uncle for another two years, and then the family will send you to the town to study."

This kind of tone was too stinging at this time, Zhao'er had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and wanted to say something, but was pulled by Xue Tingxiang.

Xue Qingshan took all of this into his eyes, and satirized in his heart, no matter how difficult this girl's film is, she can only embarrass others on these trivial things, and it still doesn't work when it comes to big things. He smiled, and said to Zhao'er: "Zhao'er, don't be angry, uncle knows that you are high-minded, but high-mindedness can't be eaten, don't you?"

No one in the room said anything.

At this moment, Mr. Xue suddenly said angrily: "Boss, what are you talking about!"

Xue Qingshan didn't take it seriously: "Father, I'm not trying to persuade the dog not to be discouraged..."

Old man Xue's beard was shaking with anger, and he pointed at him with a cigarette pot: "You need to persuade, the one who is going to study in the town is not a handsome man, but a dog!"

As soon as these words came out, one stone really stirred up a thousand waves.

The room was silent for a moment, and soon Zhao's slightly shrill voice broke the silence.

"Old man, what are you talking about? What do you mean a person who is going to study in the town is not a talented person?"

Xue Qingshan also said: "Father, did you say the wrong person in a muddle?"

"Your father is not ignorant, and he didn't say anything wrong. The one who goes to study in the town is a dog, not a genius!"

After saying this, Mr. Xue seemed to have lost all his energy, and stopped talking. The eyes of the whole room kept looking back and forth at Xue Tingxiang and Xue Juncai, full of surprise.

Xue Qingshan's smile cracked, and Yang's face was full of surprise.

Xue Juncai's handsome face flushed red, "Grandfather..."

Mr. Xue waved his hand wearily: "Okay, let's all go back to the house."

With everything said like this, everyone had no choice but to leave, but Dafang's family still stayed behind.

As soon as everyone walked out of the main room, they heard a commotion inside.

"Old man, please speak clearly, what do you mean it is a dog who is going to study in the town, not my handsome talent!"

It was Zhao's voice.

There is also Xue Qingshan, mixed with Yang's aggrieved and sharp cries, and Mr. Xue's exhausted explanation.

No secrets can be hidden under one roof, so everyone knows what's going on.

*

Early the next morning, everyone got up.

But the spirit is not very good, it can be seen that he didn't sleep much at night. Especially Yang's eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked like she was crying.

Xue Qingshan's eyes were also full of bloodshot eyes, he looked at Zhao'er and Xue Tingxiang with sinister eyes from time to time, but for some reason he didn't say anything.

The atmosphere was very depressing, no one spoke, everyone was there and doing what they were doing in an orderly manner, but the yard was surprisingly quiet.

After breakfast, Mr. Xue took his hoe and planned to go to the field. Xue Qingbai and Xue Qinghuai didn't dare to delay, one went to lead the cow out, the other picked up the iron plow, and followed him out the door.

Xue Qingshan didn't stay at home anymore, and then went out, but he didn't know where he went.

Unlike the rest of the Xue family, Zhao'er was very happy.

Since she learned the ins and outs of the matter from Xue Tingxiang last night, she has fallen into uncontrollable excitement. Don't say that she gloats, in her heart she should be a little man, and she is worrying about having no money in her hands. This news is tantamount to great joy for her.

Knowing that the schoolchildren who go to the academy are very particular, she purposely found a piece of blue cloth that had been kept at the bottom of the box for a long time. This is Qiu's dowry back then, and Qiu gave Zhao'er to make clothes, but unfortunately she has been reluctant to part with it, and now it is just right to use it as a school bag for Xue Tingxiang.

After cutting the cloth, she began to sew with needles and threads, talking to Xue Tingxiang without saying a word. At this moment, the door curtain was suddenly lifted.

It was Xue Youcai, the second boy of Dafang.

Xue Youcai was only seven years old this year, but he was born fat and thick, and he was obviously spoiled. After he came in, he scolded Xue Tingxiang: "Just like you, you are still grabbing things from my elder brother, and you have the same name as a dog. You are no smarter than a dog."

This kid's tongue is really poisonous, and he is also used to by the elder couple, and he has always been a bully at home, making everyone angry. I saw signs of it a few years ago, but it's a pity that Mrs. Yang has been protecting him, saying that he is still young and ignorant, but he has grown up in the past two years, but it is a pity that he is still ignorant.

Zhao'er doesn't like him, if anyone in this family beat Xue Youcai, it must be her. Xue Youcai was afraid of her, yet hated her, she stood up abruptly, before she could speak, Xue Youcai suddenly threw a bag of things in his hand. It hit the head and face, and it hurt people, and there was a strange smell in it.

Zhao'er was hit twice, she subconsciously tried to hide, thinking of Xue Tingxiang on the kang, she turned her back to protect him. Xue Tingxiang was unprepared, she hugged her upright, obviously it was not appropriate, but he felt blushing and heart beating.

After finally waiting for this wave to pass, Zhao'er let go of his hand, Xue Youcai had already run away, and the thing he used to hit them turned out to be dried cow dung.

Zhao'er was so disgusted that she ran after her.

She stopped Xue Youcai at the gate of the courtyard, grabbed him by the collar without saying a word, picked up a branch from a nearby wall, and lashed at him.

"If I don't beat you for three days, you dare to go to the house to expose the tiles..."

Xue Youcai struggled to run away, but Zhao'er was so painful that he was whipped. Crying and shouting, he sat down on the ground and lay down on the ground.

This looks like the posture that young children are accustomed to playing tricks on.

There was such a big commotion outside that everyone in the room was startled out.

Seeing Xue Youcai being beaten by Zhao'er, Mrs. Zhao exploded: "Who told you to beat my grandson, stop!"

Zhao'er ignored her and scolded: "Do you still dare to do it in the future? Why don't you learn how to throw bullshit like others! The words are quite vicious. Who taught you to speak like this? If you don't speak clearly today, I will not only Hit you, I will take you to the river to wash your mouth later..."

Mrs. Yang also came out, and she screamed: "Wang Zhaoer, you are crazy, you dare to hit Juncai!"

"Auntie, why don't you see what he has done? You didn't learn well at a young age, like some women who uttered obscene language and threw cow dung on people. I'll tell you now, your second brother has a name , called Xue Tingxiang, if you dare to tell me whether you are a dog or not in the future, I will beat you every time I see you!"

Xue Youcai cried until tears and snot came out, but unfortunately no one came up to rescue him. Zhao was so angry that she jumped up and down, Yang wanted to stop Zhao'er, but was stopped by Heizi.

You usually see this sunspot with a slumped head and no energy at all. He stopped in front of people, growled a warning in his voice, and showed his sharp teeth. Yang didn't doubt that if she dared to go forward, she would The dog would pounce on her and give her a bite.

At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard: "What are you doing?"

It was Xue Qingshan who came back from the outside, not only patriarch Xue and Zheng Lizheng, but also five or six villagers over half a hundred years old.

Seeing the situation at home like this, Xue Qingshan was surprised at first, then smiled wryly, and said to the people beside him: "I won't mention what outsiders say is right and wrong, just say that they are mean dogs, but there is absolutely no one Dare to do this. This girl has always been a pungent person, making troubles at home every now and then, if someone was really mean, she would have already caused a lot of trouble."

What you said made people feel inexplicable, but Zhao'er is not the master who allows people to slander, so he immediately retorted: "Uncle, what you said is a bit slanderous. I usually respect the elders at home. What nonsense is it? There is a reason for beating this kid today, and he actually scolded..."

Having said that, she was interrupted by Yang.

She came over anxiously and distressed, snatched Xue Youcai from Zhao'er's hand and cried, "How old is he, how old are you? He is just not sensible at this age, and you still care about him... "

Yang was crying, with a look of grievance and helplessness, Xue Qingshan was also sighing beside him, Zhao'er didn't know what the two couples were playing, it was over.

Her little face was flushed with anxiety, and she was about to explain again, when Xue Tingxiang who came out of the room grabbed her.

He took two steps forward, stood in front of Zhao'er, and first respectfully called Patriarch Xue, Zheng Lizheng and the few villagers. They are all from the same village, and you can't see them when you look up. As a junior, these are his elders.

After the proper etiquette passed, he explained to Yang: "I hope that my aunt will not be angry. Zhao'er was also impulsive. She saw that the talented boy called me the same name as a dog, and threw a lot of cow dung on me. That's why I hit the boy in a fit of anger."

Xue Tingxiang's behavior first gave people a good impression. As a scholar, you should be gentle and polite. Next, I will take advantage of the gap of the apology and explain the ins and outs of the matter in two sentences.
