Chapter 174 Boasting to the point of being embarrassed

When Li Wencai was called to the firewood room, he knew that his scandal had been discovered.

He lowered his head, his ears were red, and he didn't say a word, just sobbing slightly.

Dean Wei was very disappointed and didn't want to ask him more questions.

He just put the stolen things back into the firewood basket and took people to guard the firewood room next to it.

Not long after, Li Wencai's stepmother came to the academy to work.

She was familiar with the place, and she went to rummage through the firewood basket as soon as she came. Seeing that there was something in the firewood basket as usual, she grinned and was about to put it in her arms happily.

Dean Wei's face was gloomy, and he hugged Xiao Nuobao, followed by Fengnian and Fengjing, and rushed in to block her.

"Great, we finally caught someone who stole and captured him!" Dean Wei shouted.

"You are a cook, you have hands and feet, you only need to work two hours a day to get full wages, but you still do this kind of thing with your children, it's really disgusting."

The cook was panicked at first.

Then she looked at Li Wencai and knew that the matter was exposed, and slapped him in the face.

"You are useless, and you dare to betray me? It turns out that you are the son of that village woman, you are a scum." The cook was furious and couldn't help but pinch her waist and curse.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly pushed her away and didn't allow her to beat and scold Wencai again.

But the cook saw that this job could not be done, so she simply broke the jar and not only chased Li Wencai to beat him, but also took out the fierceness when she was a prostitute, and even scolded Dean Wei.

"One and a half taels of silver a month is not enough for anything. It's not even enough for cosmetics."

"You stingy dean, you refuse to give me an extra half tael. If I don't steal or rob, how can I spend it?"

Dean Wei is a gentleman, and he can't argue with the slut, so his face turned pale.

Xiao Nuobao couldn't bear to see Dean Wei being bullied, so he patted the doorman and said, "Xiao Guoguo, go to the government office and report it. Since it's a theft, the government will be responsible for it. Remember to report Nuobao's name."

The doorman had had enough of this cook.

Not only did she twist her waist every day, she didn't work well, and the rice she cooked was like salt, which made people choke.

He immediately ran towards the government office. When Tian Zhixian heard that it was Nuobao's order, he immediately brought people to arrest him.

Seeing that the official had come, the cook finally behaved. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground and could only confess her crime.

The students stopped studying and ran out of the Qinxue Hall to watch the excitement.

After Tian Zhixian's trial, everyone knew that Li Wencai was actually forced to do it. It was the cook who saw that some students had wealthy families and forced him to steal.

At first, Li Wencai refused to do it. The cook beat him with bamboo sticks and burned him with hot water, but he still refused to give in.

Until finally, when he was threatened with not being allowed to study, the child had to agree.

When Li Wencai lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the dense scars on them, everyone took a breath of cool air.

"You woman, you are so abominable. You really, really should be killed alive!" Dean Wei stared at the cook, clenched his teeth, and said something harsh.

Jiang Fengnian had watched Wencai grow up.

He couldn't bear it any more and spat on the cook's face: "Are you still a human being? How can you bear to treat a child like this? Your heart is not made of flesh, but of stinking stones in the toilet!"

Xiao Nuobao wrinkled his face into a small bun and waved his hand at Tian Zhixian.

"The theft was all blamed on this cook, and she abused the child. Tian Zhixian, you know what to do, right?"

Tian Zhixian nodded quickly and ordered people to pin the cook to the ground and beat her in public.

"Cruel woman, give her thirty strokes of the cane..."

Little Nuobao raised his eyes in dissatisfaction, and Tian Zhixian immediately changed his words.

"It's fifty strokes of the cane... oh, no, eighty!"

As the cook kept shouting, the cane beat her buttocks and thighs until they were broken. Before she could get sixty strokes, she fainted and died.

Tian Zhixian dragged her away and took the remaining strokes back to the prison to continue beating her.

The students felt very happy when they saw this. They treated Nuobao like a god and rushed over to surround her and clapped their hands.

"Hehe, that dog Zhixian is a rare human being, and he actually lets us make the decision!"

"Fengjing's sister is so powerful, even Tian Zhixian listens to her, we are so grateful to her this time."

"Little Nuobao can also tell fortunes, can you teach us?"

"Look, Nuobao's sister is so beautiful, with big round eyes and a white face, can she be our sister too?"

The students were young, and they crowded around Nuobao, staring at her and couldn't bear to take their eyes off her.

Little Nuobao blushed with shyness amid the compliments.

She touched her hot little ears, and buried her head in Dean Wei's arms, so embarrassed that her toes kept grabbing the air.

Jiang Fengjing was extremely proud, and he puffed out his chest, like a rooster that just needed to crow.

He wanted everyone to know how much his sister was loved.

However, although his sister was good, she could only be seen by outsiders, and they were not allowed to get close.

Seeing two classmates coming over to pinch Nuobao's chubby paws, Jiang Fengjing immediately blocked them with a stern face and protected them tightly.

Dean Wei couldn't help but smile and scratched the nose of little Nuobao: "Everyone has stopped studying to see you. I have to drive them back, otherwise I'm afraid they will all go back to Dalui Village with you, and my academy will be deserted."

Hearing this, Jiang Fengnian and the doorman were amused.

Under the threat of double homework from Dean Wei, the students had to move their steps back to the Qinxue Hall.

Some of them kept looking back at little Nuobao and saying goodbye to her.

Little Nuobao also waved her chubby hands and smiled sweetly in return.

As for Li Wencai, the students did not reject him, but were quite sympathetic. As

soon as they returned to the Diligent Learning Hall, everyone came over to pat him on the shoulder and told him not to think too much, and no one would mention the theft again in the future.

Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to go back for lunch.

Jiang Fengnian picked up Xiao Nuobao and put her in the back of the donkey cart.

Before leaving, Dean Wei wanted Fengnian to wait for a moment: "Nuobao helped me a lot this time, otherwise I don't know how many days it would take to catch the cook. It just so happens that I have a small gold bean in my study that someone gave me. Why not take it back and string it on a bracelet for Nuobao to wear, and think of it as a thank-you gift for her."

Seeing that Dean Wei's robe was all old, little Nuobao was reluctant to accept it, so she quickly stretched out her white wrist.

Revealing the small bracelet on it and two agate beads.

"Uncle Dean, Nuobao has a lot of things to wear, and can't take your gold bean anymore, otherwise her arm will be tired~" The little girl deliberately pouted.

This made Dean Wei laugh, as if he was going to force her to give it again, it would be embarrassing for her.

So Dean Wei had to give up and wait for the next time.

Little Nuobao smiled with his neck shrunk, waved his little hand and said goodbye, going home with his big brother.

As soon as the donkey cart entered Daliu Village, Nuobao saw Feng standing at the door from a distance, looking around.

"Mom, Daguoguo and I are back."

Little Nuobao jumped off the donkey cart, like a little butterfly, happily threw himself into Feng's arms, and nudged his little nose.

"Mom, Nuobao is hungry~ What are you having for lunch? Let me smell it and see if there are spare ribs!"

Feng pinched her nose and pulled her out of her arms helplessly: "Mom, there is oil on my body, don't dirty your clothes."

"I smell... stewed pork belly with sauerkraut, and eggs with soy sauce, right?!" Little Nuobao drooled as he smelled, and his little mouth was about to "flood".

Mrs. Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she picked up her daughter and said, "Your little nose is so sharp that you can almost catch up with

the rhubarb at the entrance of the village. I see you are really hungry,

so hurry up and go into the house to eat." Today's lunch was very much to Xiao Nuobao's taste. She ate five pieces of spare ribs alone, and ate more than half a bowl of rice and millet mixed with two-grain rice. When the meal was almost finished, good news came from the construction site.

The expansion of Fushan Hall was finally completed!

Xiao Nuobao put down the bowl of rice, wiped her greasy lips, and was eager to go and see.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally built. She had to find a way to make this business prosperous and make a lot of money for the family!
