Chapter 57 Real Dog

Sun Decai hurriedly said, "Master, it was Su Changhe who hit me first. I didn't do anything."

Tang Yongning, who had been reading quietly, put down his book and said lightly, "It was you who gave Su Changhe's homework to Pei Yuan. Now you want to get yourself out of it?"

After that, he bowed to the master and continued reading.

The teacher sighed and said, "Sun Decai, you are a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved. It is difficult for you to copy the Analects. Why don't you copy the Thousand Characters?"

Everyone was amused by the teacher. The Thousand Characters was only read by two or three-year-old children. There was no way. Sun Decai was enlightened late and his qualifications were mediocre. If he studied hard, he could have passed the imperial examination. But he was full of bad ideas and his mind was not on his studies at all. If it were not for Shen Tianyou's pressure, the dean would definitely not accept him.

All the classmates in the class, except Xiao Yi and Tang Yongning, received the homework gift packs, and the whole school was gloomy.

Sun Decai was still unwilling to accept it, and yelled at Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, it must be you who went to file a complaint, otherwise the teacher would not have come so quickly. Master Pei, it was Xiao Yi who caused you to be punished."

Tang Yongning put down the book unhappily: "I called the teacher here, Pei Yuan, you are not stupid enough to let Sun Decai, such a fool, fool you twice and use him as a gun."

Pei Yuan scratched his head and suddenly realized , was really angry, he was actually fooled by Sun Decai, he walked over, climbed on Sun Decai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Decai, wait for me when you get off school, I will give you a gift."

Pei Yuan had never spoken to him so kindly, Sun Decai felt uneasy, but it was the grandson of Tang Taishi who woke him up, and Sun Decai did not dare to provoke him.

When leaving school, Pei Yuan really waited for Sun Decai, and made him learn to bark like a dog for a long time on the road that everyone must pass, and also performed eating bones in front of everyone, which attracted everyone's attention.

Finally, Pei Yuan threw a piece of silver to him, stepped on his back and said, "A dog should behave like a dog. You can rely on the power of others, but don't think about making decisions for your master the night before last. Get lost!"

Sun Decai was originally inferior because of his poor birth. He thought that he would be looked up to by Pei Yuan, but now he has become a joke in the whole academy. Everyone knows that he is a dog.

"This man is really worse than a dog. He has lost the face of scholars."

"Don't play with such people in the future."

Everyone avoided him like the plague. Sun Decai felt aggrieved and sat on the ground for a long time without getting up. When his father Zhou Quan came to pick him up, he didn't notice that his son was bruised and tearful, but he saw the silver on the ground first.

"My goodness, this silver must be ten taels." He picked up the silver and bit it: "It's genuine, son. You've made it. People reward you for studying."

Sun Decai collapsed and shouted: "You only care about money. Do you know that I got this reward for imitating a dog's barking and gnawing bones."

Zhou Quan looked at his son in confusion: "What are you yelling about? You can get ten taels of silver for imitating a dog's barking. We made a profit. You can ask his family if they need an old dog. Dad can do it too."

After that, he deliberately imitated a few dog barks.

Sun Decai wanted to find a hole to crawl into. It was all the fault of Su Changhe's family and his grandmother. If she hadn't replaced his mother, his mother would never have married such a useless son-in-law. He wouldn't be so stupid. He would be like Su Changhe and Tang Yongning, a respected young man and a proud student of the master.

But now, he was being pointed at like a little clown, and his father only cared about the ten taels of silver on the ground and didn't care about his life or death. He walked a few steps quickly in disgust and left Zhou Quan behind.

Back to the dilapidated courtyard, he became more and more dissatisfied. He kicked over the beans that were drying, and scared his sister Sun Yingying into tears.

"What's going on? Why did you hire that Douzi for no reason?" Sun Caidie came out cursing, only to see her son's face and nose covered in bruises.

She dropped the work in her hands and pulled Sun Decai to look around: "Which bastard beat you like this? Tell mother and I will let your grandmother vent your anger for you."

Sun Decai pushed Sun Yingying away dissatisfiedly: "Grandma, grandma, so what if you talk about her all day long? It's been a long time since she gave us money and things. She must have forgotten about us because she saw that family was favored by the emperor. Even if she knew that I was beaten by that fake Su Changhe, she might not be willing to stand up for me. Liar, all liars."

Sun Decai kicked again, and this time he broke the fence of the chicken coop, scaring the old hens to run around.

"They live in luxury, eat the best food, use the best things. If I want to eat an egg, you have to raise a chicken yourself. Grandmother has long since abandoned us, and you too." Sun Decai cursed and went back to his room.

Sun Caidie was left alone to watch the chaos and chicken shit in the yard. After the last incident, her mother was indeed not as generous as before. She only gave her several dozen taels of silver, which was enough for a lot of things. No, she had to go find her mother. If she didn't give her money, she would tell everyone about it.

The wailing daughter suddenly stopped crying. Sun Caidie turned her head and saw that the little girl was putting chicken shit into her mouth.

Sun Caidie was furious and cursed, "Auntie Zhang, where have you been? The young lady is already eating chicken shit and you don't even come to look after her."

Auntie Zhang threw away the melon seeds in her hand and muttered, "What young lady? You haven't even paid my mother's monthly salary for three months, and you still expect me to work like a slave. How can a country girl pretend to be a young lady?"

After that, she slowly came out of the kitchen and said coldly, "Come here, come here. I have to cook and take care of the baby by myself. You should also lend a hand." After that, she picked up Sun Yingying from the ground with disgust and threw her into the basin.

Then she slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, look at my memory. The chicken soup will be dried up soon. Madam, you wash the young lady and I will serve the young master chicken soup."

Sun Caidie was about to say something, but she shut up and went to bathe her daughter. If Zhang Ma had not signed a death contract with Liu, she would have run away long ago. Now everything at home depends on her, and she really dare not offend her. If she really gives up, she will have to do the work herself.

Zhang Ma picked out all the chicken legs and poured chicken soup. After eating and drinking, she added a ladle of water to the chicken soup and then poured three bowls out: "Madam, drink the chicken soup. Why hasn't the master come back yet?"

Sun Caidie drank a mouthful of the bland chicken soup, threw down the spoon and said, "You look after the young lady. I'm going out for a while." Then she went to the direction of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion alone.

Zhang Ma spat at her: "Poor ghost, why are you pretending to be so big and powerful?" She really regretted it. If she had stayed in Madam Zhao's yard honestly, she wouldn't have to suffer this now.

Su Changhe made an appointment with Xiao Yi after school to wait for Tang Yongning together.

Although the Tang family never interacted with the Zhenguogong Mansion, he was a man who would repay a favor, so he had to thank Tang Yongning anyway.
