Chapter 132 Just because I am the village elder
When the villagers and children heard this, they stopped laughing and gathered around.
"What's wrong? Whose name is missing?" Feng asked hurriedly.
Zhang Xiucai went through the list again, but still couldn't find it: "Wencai, Wencai from Aunt Li's family, he is not on the list, so he is not included in the list."
After saying that, Zhang Xiucai slapped his forehead and remembered.
Wencai came to the school the latest, so the school had forgotten to add him to the list. That day, Old Song came to the school and asked Zhang Xiucai for the list. Zhang Xiucai didn't know what it was for, so he gave it to him without checking.
"I guess the Duke must have used the list I gave him to report to the government and enrolled all the children in the literature register. He blamed me for not writing Wencai down, and that was all that happened." Mr. Zhang was a little annoyed and sighed.
Li Wencai was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in disappointment, and didn't say anything.
Fortunately, the list of students and the literature register of students can be supplemented.
Mr. Zhang touched Wencai's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, the teacher has noted it down for you, and will supplement it for you later."
"But each school can only report the student list twice a year. If you want to supplement it, it's not possible now. You can only wait until the second half of the year in autumn."
Knowing that it could be supplemented, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to be happy about the "legitimate" school.
Feng smiled, picked up Xiao Nuobao, held Fengmiao's hand, and went home to tell Fengnian and the others.
However, she never expected that in the afternoon, when the villagers were busy working in the fields with pickaxes and shovels, Aunt Li suddenly ran to the school and made a scene like a shrew.
"Cripple Zhang, give my son's books back!"
Aunt Li rushed in with a hunched back and grabbed Scholar Zhang by the collar.
"Why only leave out our Wencai? All the boys in the village put together don't have as much knowledge as our Wencai." Aunt Li was furious: "What does it matter whether they are scholars or not? They will all work in the fields when they grow up. My son's future is the most important. How can you, a lame scholar, afford to delay him!"
Scholar Zhang hurriedly got up and said anxiously: "Aunt Li, you can't say that. The future of every child in the village is equally important. There is no distinction between rich and poor. What's more, he can apply for admission in half a year. Even if he doesn't get admitted, it will not affect his future imperial examinations and will not delay Wencai's big plans."
Aunt Li was not willing to listen. She jumped up and spit on the ground.
"You said that lightly, but it turns out that you are not the one who was left behind!" Aunt Li panted and cursed: "My son is very talented, but he is being taught by you, a useless scholar who broke his leg and no one wants him anywhere in the village. It is a waste of talent, but you dare to neglect him. In my opinion, you are doing it on purpose!"
This was so unpleasant that Zhang Xiucai's face turned blue. He touched his broken leg and tried his best to endure it.
"Since Aunt Li looks down on me, then find another good teacher for Wencai. I will not teach him anymore!" Zhang Xiucai turned his face away.
When Auntie Li heard this, her sparse eyebrows stood up: "Zhang the Cripple, I told you that you have grown up. You think this school is yours, and you can bully anyone you want!"
Her voice became higher and higher. She relied on the fact that this was a village school and Zhang Xiucai had no say, and spat directly in his face.
"Ah, spit! You dead cripple, don't think that you can act big in front of me just because you have a good relationship with the Jiang family. Even if you go to be a mistress of Widow Feng, this is a village school, and you, a stinky teacher, have no say." Auntie Li cursed with nonsense.
"You!" Zhang Xiucai was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
The next moment, Feng rushed into the school, grabbed Auntie Li's neck, and slapped them both.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
Feng had just heard the noise coming over, and now she shouted angrily: "Mr. Li, what are you talking about here! You dare to make up stories about me and Mr. Zhang behind my back and damage my reputation. Do you believe that I will beat your stinky mouth today!"
Aunt Li's head was buzzing from the beating.
She knew that she couldn't beat Feng, and just at this time she saw some villagers coming, so she rolled and crawled out, sat on the ground and started crying.
"What is the basis? It's too bullying!" Aunt Li wiped her cloudy old eyes and began to pretend.
"We have a grudge among adults, but we can't let the children be implicated."
"Widow Feng, you are too petty. The Duke is your distinguished guest, and Mr. Zhang listens to your family. You must have instructed them to deliberately not put my Wencai on the list of concubines."
Aunt Li was making thunder without rain, and she was howling so hard that smoke came out of her throat.
Mrs. Feng's forehead was throbbing, as if a leprosy was crawling on her feet. It didn't bite people, but it was extremely annoying.
Fortunately, the villagers knew Mrs. Feng and knew that she would not do such a thing.
So everyone wanted to pull Auntie Li up: "Let's talk it over nicely, what's the use of crying? We all know what kind of person Nuo Bao Niang is, stop talking nonsense."
Auntie Li took the opportunity to stare at Feng: "If you want me to stop making trouble, don't you know that Duke? Hurry up and ask him to go to the government to find someone to help my son complete his studies, and then I won't bother with you about this matter."
Feng frowned, her palms itched, and she really wanted to pull Auntie Li out of the house. Why should she bother Old Song
for an outsider's business? The Li family is nothing to the Duke.
At this moment, a crisp, angry voice suddenly came in.
"No need to make up for any of the literature or no literature!" Xiao Nuobao took off her light white cap and walked in angrily.
She waved her hand and said coldly: "From today on, the village school will expel Li Wencai and never allow him to enter again!"
They had agreed before that the school could accept Wencai, but the only requirement was that Auntie Li should not make trouble.
Since this person didn't know what was good for him.
Then she was too lazy to give him face and hurried away to save trouble!
Auntie Li's eyes immediately turned red: "Why, you said to expel him? This is the village school!"
"Because I am the elder of the village clan association, and the head of the elders, so everything in the village is up to me!" Xiao Nuobao raised her little round face and said every word with heart.
