The tea was still warm, which stunned Sister-in-law Jiang.

Looking at the person who splashed water on her, she was quite upset. "Are you Gu An'an's lover? Why are you standing up for her like this?"

Twenty-Three continued eating without changing his expression, but the teacup he was holding in his left hand suddenly shattered into dust. "So noisy."

Jiang Da Sao shuddered upon seeing this, as if someone had snapped her neck.

This man just crushed a teacup like that, it's terrifying!

Sister-in-law Jiang turned and ran away, afraid that if she was too slow, this man would kill her.

Even Old Madam Jiang felt a little guilty upon seeing this. She had originally wanted to put on the airs of a mother-in-law and teach Gu An'an a lesson, but now that she saw how capable that man was, who wouldn't be afraid?

The old lady silently turned and left, which quieted down the stall.

Gu An'an looked at the broken teacup. "I bought this teacup for three coins."

Twenty-three's expression finally changed somewhat. He took out three coins, placed them on the table, finished the last sip of soup, and left.

Tian Bu'er, however, couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the crumbs on the table. "I never expected that such a small county as Anping would have such hidden talents. It's truly unbelievable."

I didn't expect that.

Gu An'an roughly knew where this person came from, but she didn't expect him to be so skilled in martial arts.

If Manager Bai really wanted to harm her, could she defend herself?

“I’m telling you, Madam Gu, your sisters-in-law and mother-in-law are no pushovers. If they keep causing trouble every day, how will you be able to keep your business running?”

Gu An'an understood this principle, of course. "If they want to come, let them come. What can I do?"

The ingredients she prepared for today did not sell out as expected, but Gu An'an was not in a hurry to leave.

After all, those kids don't get out of school until around 4 p.m., so she just needs to time her departure accordingly.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast; half of the ingredients were left uneaten.

Gu An'an thought for a moment, then drove the carriage to Tian Bu'er's house.

"Give me?"

“It would be too much trouble for me to take it back. Since you like it, Dr. Tian, ​​it’s good to leave it for you as a favor.”

This favor is really huge.

Tian Bu'er laughed and handed a paper packet to Gu An'an, "Put this in your tea or food, and it will keep you quiet for a few days."

Gu An'an opened the paper package and smelled it. "Laxatives?"

Tian Bu'er stroked his beard. "Madam Gu certainly has a nice nose."

It wasn't that they had good noses, but they just thought of the same thing. Gu An'an originally planned to give them some laxatives later so that they would be too weak to cause trouble.

Before I could even get the medicine, a ready-made laxative was delivered to my hands.

After thanking Tian Bu'er, Gu An'an drove away.

Old Ma walked back slowly, and when he got to the school, Gu An'an noticed something was wrong.

Why are these kids all standing there like they're being punished?

Especially since Bao'er's little face was covered in dust?

"Where is your elder brother?"

As soon as Gu An'an finished speaking, she heard a reprimand from inside, "Nonsense, nonsense! Go and invite your father here. I want to see what kind of person could raise such an ill-mannered son!"

"The saying goes, 'Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened; listen to only one side and you will be misled.' You, who have studied the classics and emulated Confucius, are so stubborn and inflexible. What right do you have to lecture me here?"

It was Jiang Mingyi's voice, extremely hoarse, as if he had been arguing with someone for most of the day!

Gu An'an hurriedly pushed the door open and went in. As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Mingxu standing there, and not far away was a middle-aged man with a thin appearance.

"This is a school, not a place for women like you to enter! Get out!"

Jiang Mingyi turned around and saw Gu An'an striding in. He frowned, about to speak, when he heard Gu An'an's undisguised anger, "So what if you're a woman? You were carried and raised by a woman for ten months, fed and cared for by a woman, and your clothes were sewn by a woman. Since women can't enter this school, are you going to take off all your clothes before coming in? Oh, right, you were born of a woman, so you'd better end your life first, otherwise wouldn't you be defiling this school?"

These words made Jiang Mingyi laugh. After all, it was Gu An'an; he knew it would be like this.

Master Zheng was furious when he heard this. "Nonsense! No wonder the sage said that only women and petty men are difficult to deal with."

"Ha, I was wondering why some people would give up their official positions to teach in the countryside. It seems that the title of official is not for Master Zheng. The sage advocates that benevolence is loving others. Men and women are both human beings and should be loved by the benevolent. Confucianism says that when poor, one should cultivate oneself and when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. The common people under heaven are not just your people. Confucius also said, 'Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with. If you get close to them, they become disrespectful; if you keep them at a distance, they resent you.' You are supposed to be a scholar who has read the classics, but you have only learned to take things out of context. No wonder you have not been able to advance further in the imperial examinations and are like a homeless dog, living in constant anxiety. Even if you were to run a school here for fame and fortune, you would only be misleading students."

Gu An'an didn't expect that she had been careless. This Master Zheng didn't allow girls to enter the school at all, so it's likely that the other children didn't get in either.

It's clear that Jiang Yongshan and his wife dug their own hole and are now watching their own misfortune unfold.

Okay, so you think you're easy to bully?

Gu An'an grabbed Jiang Mingyi's wrist, "A person who is so ignorant and incompetent is not worthy to be your teacher. Come on, let's go home."

The young man, restrained and slightly staggering, was dragged out.

As they walked out of the school gate, Gu An'an picked up Bao'er and wiped the dust from the little girl's forehead and hair roots. "When I teach Bao'er and Xu'er to read and write, I won't teach them to read and write with this person who is full of pedantic books."
