The village chief said, "I'm already drawing up a list. I'll report it to the township when all the villagers have chosen their names."

He said with a helpless smile, "My body is really not good anymore, I'd better hand it over to the young people as soon as possible, while I still have some energy to help them, so as to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes."

At this point, the head of Jinshi Town said helplessly: "Don't say such depressing words. It's not your turn to die even though I'm dead."

The village chief also laughed, and the two old men in their fifties congratulated each other on their longevity.

However, it was decided that the village chief would step down.

For other people, this is something that happens in other villages and they don't care about it. They just go back to their own territories and talk about it as gossip at the dinner table for fun.

As a result of this interruption, no one mentioned the matter of watermelon planting again for the time being.

After the clan leader led the people of Liujia Village to send Song Zhang and others away, he came to his senses and saw a banner on the hillside that read "Welcome the county magistrate and people from all over the country to Liujia Village", and he sighed in his heart.

Their Liujia Village has now become a well-known name in Kaiyang County.

When the county magistrate left just now, he said that he would send someone to bring the materials for building the courtyard in a couple of days, as he planned to spend the summer here.

Those scholars who were still waiting in Liujia Village to catch a glimpse of the great scholar were also moved when they heard this.

Anyway, it's no different whether you sit or lie down and wait. The daily travel expenses are wasted, so it might as well be possible to build a house in this village and wait slowly.

While the whole village, young and old, was still immersed in the afterglow of the county magistrate's visit, the atmosphere in the small courtyard on the hillside on the north side of the village was a little low.

In the courtyard, Li and Awang looked at each other and looked anxiously at the closed door of the main room.

In the main room, Qin Yao sat on the armchair with a majestic posture.

Below him were Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang, who were sitting in a row on small stools.

The four brothers and sisters kneeled together, with their hands on their knees, looking well-behaved.

The long silence made the four brothers and sisters feel uneasy, but they didn’t know what they had done wrong. Anyway, they were very panicked.

Uncle Awang brought them back from school today. As soon as they got home, they heard A-niang yelling in the living room, "Put down your book boxes and come in!"

The four brothers and sisters were startled immediately, looking at each other, feeling inexplicably guilty.

However, he quickly put down the bookbox and went into the main room.

When they got into the house, A Niang closed the door and locked Uncle Awang who was about to come in outside.

Then she asked them to sit on the bench, and she sat on the armchair herself, staring at them without saying a word.

The four brothers and sisters watched the adults in the family fighting and killing each other every day, and their psychological qualities had been trained well. They just sat there motionless for a quarter of an hour.

Saburo raised his hand nervously.

Qin Yao: "Speak."

Sanlang said with difficulty: "Mother, I want to fart."

Erlang and Si Niang almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but when they raised their eyes, they met Qin Yao's cold face and quickly suppressed the corners of their mouths.

Sanlang: "Mother, I, I can't hold it anymore."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "puff" sound, and Dalang, Erlang and Si Niang, who had been sitting upright just now, immediately covered their mouths and noses and fled in all directions.

Qin Yao couldn't hold back her cold expression, she quickly turned her head, held her breath and waited for a while before turning around.

"sit down!"

Dalang, Erlang and Si Niang hurried back to their original positions.

But that suffocating atmosphere of terror can never be returned.

Qin Yao asked in a cold voice: "Tell me about your recent experiences in the academy."

They didn't expect her to ask this. The four brothers and sisters all looked surprised, and then looked at each other guiltily. Dalang, as expected of being the eldest brother, stood up first.

"Auntie Yao, it was me who forbade my brothers and sisters to tell you. If you want to punish someone, just punish me."

The voice gradually weakened, because the pressure in front of him was too strong, the boy's throat was dry, and it became increasingly difficult for him to speak.

Qin Yao snorted coldly, "So, you were really bullied in school?"

Dalang was shocked, then he realized that Aunt Yao was deceiving him and his four siblings.

Well, even Uncle Awang, who took them to school every day, didn’t notice it, so how could Aunt Yao know about it at home!

etc!

Did Uncle Awang really not notice?

Dalang sighed softly, regretting that he was so stupid for thinking he could hide it from the adults.

With their skills, if they show them in front of the adults at home, I'm afraid they can't even hide it from the dumbest father!

Qin Yao called the remaining three siblings and pointed them over one by one, "Tell me, who bullied you? How did they bully you? Did you bully them back?"

The latter sentence is the key point. Si Niang keenly caught it.

The little girl immediately gave the eldest brother a look, and the eldest brother confessed the truth.

Dalang swallowed his saliva and confessed guiltily: "It's nothing, just some trivial matters."

Things like tripping and dropping a dead mouse or toad.

He is not afraid of killing wolves, so it's funny to see these mice and toads.

Dalang immediately took his younger brother and sister and grabbed a box of books and sent them back alive. He was frightened and fell ill for half a month. I heard that his family even hired someone to perform a shaman ritual to call back his soul.

As for those classmates who called their brothers out during lunch break at noon and wanted to teach them a lesson, Dalang and Erlang felt that if they had not shown mercy, Dingjiazhuang would have another parent calling out for their son's soul.

In short, even Si Niang could throw ink all over the other party, and she even knew to run to the teacher to complain in advance, imitating her own father's naughty manner, crying so hard that the teacher didn't dare to sue her parents.

Of course, they really didn’t dare to tell their parents.

After all, thanks to Madam Qin's methods, two bullies in Kaiyang County were killed, and the Ding family was also afraid.

Therefore, this method has no killing power at all on the four brothers and sisters.

On the contrary, because of these things, the four brothers and sisters have the potential to become the three bullies of the school.

Why are there three hegemons and not four?

Because Liu Sanlang was so good at hiding, he would only come out after his brother and sister were done.

Sanlang has his own little standards. He said, "Mother, I'm not afraid. I just know that I will hinder my elder brother, second brother and younger sister. I'm afraid that I will affect them in beating people, so I hid."

Qin Yao: Why do I suddenly feel that my child is a little bit outstanding?

But she also realized that the four brothers and sisters did not want to tell her who bullied them.

They wanted to solve their problems on their own, and they proved to her that they could solve their problems on their own.

Dalang said seriously: "Aunt Yao, you don't have to treat us like little kids like Damao. I'm eleven years old and Erlang is nine. We can protect ourselves and our brothers and sisters."

Si Niang nodded in agreement, indicating that she had grown up.

Sanlang was a little panicked and said weakly, "Mother, we know we are wrong, can you please stop beating me, my brother, and my sister?"

Qin Yao thought to herself: Why didn’t I realize that Sanlang was such a smart guy before?

With a serious face, he said, "I've said before that you are not allowed to bully others, but now I'm going to add one more thing - if I find out that you've been bullied, you'll have to wait for bamboo-crusted pork when you come back!"

After saying that, one of them was hit on the forehead, leaving the four brothers and sisters, who were crying with pain, striding out of the door.

She was afraid that the four brothers and sisters would see her uncontrollably upward smile and might take advantage of her.

Awang stared suspiciously at Qin Yao's face, which was almost crooked with laughter, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to eat?"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and waved her hand: "Serve the food!"
