Chapter 376: School Farce

"What is the old woman doing in the school?" Lu Qiniang became anxious when she heard it.

"She's Sister Sui'an's grandmother."

"Who? Our Sui'an's grandmother?" Mrs. Fu stood up suddenly. "What is my mother-in-law making a fuss about?"

Just now she was complaining to the people around her about her mother-in-law making trouble every day and always trying to get money from her.

But we have divided the family property, and she has given me money during the festivals. Why should I still ask for her money?

This old woman, not getting the money, went to the school to make trouble, and she was really trying to make life difficult for the mother and daughter.

Lu Qiniang also knew Sui An very well.

Unlike Fu's aggressive personality, Sui'an is a very quiet child. Moreover, because she is the oldest, already fourteen years old this year, and has a stable personality, she is a good helper to Daya.

"Boss, wait for me to go and take her home." Fu looked guilty and could not hide her worry, fearing that her daughter would lose this opportunity to study.

Yes, men don't want women to study.

But if these men in the market really meet a literate woman, who wouldn’t be in awe of her?

The daughter is the pride of the Fu family.

Lu Qiniang said, "Okay, let's go take a look together. Don't worry, you're such a big mouth. I already knew about all the mess at home. I don't blame you, and I don't blame Sui'an either."

"No," the girl who brought the letter was about to cry, "she said that Sister Sui'an ran away with someone. It was the school that taught Sister Sui'an bad things, so she came to ask for an explanation."

"Sui'an eloped with someone? Nonsense! This old hag!" Fu was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Is this my grandmother?

This will ruin your granddaughter's reputation.

Lu Qiniang said, "Don't be angry. Go home and look for Sui'an first. Did she hide Sui'an?"

Fu Shi panicked, "Yes, yes, Master, I will go back to find Sui An first, find her, and take her to the school."

Lu Qiniang was worried, so she asked two women to accompany her home, while she followed the girl who delivered the letter to the school.

"Master, let's go take a look too," the women said. "If that old hag makes a big fuss, we can help."

"Okay, let's go and take a look together."

Erya also went along.

It was snowing heavily outside. The north wind was blowing heavy snow, and my vision was blurred.

The school was not far away, and Lu Qiniang arrived quickly. She saw the old woman lying and rolling in the snow, with snow flakes flying around her.

Well, this guy is really willing to do anything to extort money.

Daya stood at the gatehouse, looking at the crazy old woman quietly without saying a word, with a group of girls standing behind her.

"Mom, you're here." Daya saw Lu Qin's mother and stepped forward to greet her.

"Don't be afraid, Daya." Lu Qiniang said, "Leave this old man who's throwing tantrums to me."

Daya smiled and said, "Mom, I have already reported it to the authorities. Now we are just waiting for the bailiffs to come and arrest the person. If there is anything, we can go to the court and talk about it."

"Sui'an didn't come today?"

"She's here," Daya said. "Her aunt came in the middle and said her grandmother wasn't feeling well, so she came to take her back."

"Nonsense, nonsense!" the shrewd woman said hysterically. "My granddaughter was clearly lost in your school. You say it's a nice thing to teach girls to read and write, but the result is that you teach them bad things. Who would dare to send their daughter to your school in the future?"

"Shut up, old hag!"

Before Lu Qiniang could say anything, the women working surrounded her and took advantage of the chaos to kick and pinch her.

"Sui'an must have been hidden by you. You don't want to come to the school, but our girl still wants to come!"

"That's right, stop spreading rumors!"

"The school provides food and accommodation, and teaches us skills. We don't know how to repay the owner, and you are still here talking nonsense and ruining the owner's reputation. You old woman, you are so mean."

"Even if your Sui'an really eloped with someone, what does it have to do with our child? Our daughter is fine here."

"A little rat shit is enough to spoil the whole pot of porridge, you damned old woman. If you dare to curse me again, I'll stuff your mouth with horse shit."

"I'm going to look for horse manure."

Seeing this, the people in the dark almost bit their teeth off.

Why is this completely different from what she imagined?

Don’t these untouchables care about their reputation at all?

She originally thought that after this incident, the school would no longer be able to operate.

Who would have thought that these stupid lowly people would actually defend the school? They really don’t care about their daughters’ reputation at all!

Amidst the commotion, the bailiffs arrived.

Daya frankly explained the whole story and said that she would go to the authorities to get to the bottom of the matter.

When the old woman heard that she was going to see the official, she immediately became scared.

"I won't sue anymore, I won't sue anymore," she said. "Since Sui'an is not going anywhere, I'll just let her die out there."

"No." Daya uttered these two words softly, "The person was lost in my school, I must find him. And Sui'an couldn't have eloped with someone, I want to clear Sui'an's name!"

As they were talking, Fu came stumbling over.

She grabbed her mother-in-law by the collar, not caring about age or status, and roared, "Where is Sui'an? Where did you hide Sui'an? If anything happens to Sui'an, I will burn down your Zou family and no one will survive!"

"That's right." The other women echoed in support, "Hand over Sui'an quickly."

Seeing the old woman's eyes flickering and her face full of guilt, the yamen runner also stepped forward to help scare her.

"You say it's okay now, but if we go to court, we'll both give you twenty lashes. He's young, so it's nothing. He just gritted his teeth and persevered. But you're an old man, and you'll just go straight to hell."

The old woman finally got scared and said, "Sui'an, Sui'an, she went to her aunt's house."

Erya said that it was not her turn to show her talents yet, and she felt like a hero without a place to use her talents. The aunts were really amazing.

But San Ya came out from the back door riding a white horse.

A red silk ribbon gathered her jet-black hair high and neatly tied it behind her head, revealing her smooth, full forehead and a pair of surprisingly bright eyes.

"Whoa!" San Ya pulled the reins suddenly, the white horse's front hooves flew into the air, it neighed loudly, and stopped steadily in front of everyone. The strong wind it brought blew up the snow on the ground.

The horse snorted and exhaled white air, which blended perfectly with the aura emanating from her small figure.

She didn't even wait for the horse's hooves to fully land. Her small hands tightly grasped the reins, her eyes swept across the people in the courtyard like lightning, and her clear, loud, and unquestionable voice pierced the air, resounding: "Let's go! Let's go and bring Sister Sui'an back together!"

"Let's go with the third young lady and bring Sui'an back." A woman immediately said passionately, "Let's all go and let people see whether it's our school that's bad or whether some people have hearts!"

Daya has always been low-key and introverted since she founded the school. Unexpectedly, today she has appeared before the world in such a grand and ostentatious manner.
