Chapter 557 How does my wife want to kill me?
Liu Ji, together with the villagers of Liujia Village, bought a coffin for the driver. He also invited a Taoist priest to look at the Feng Shui location, and held a two-day banquet in the village and invited a singing group to ensure a grand funeral.
Qin Yao didn't know whether Zhen Yubai was moved or not, but her wallet was quite touched. After the incident, she couldn't help but beat Liu Ji up.
"I want you to have a grand funeral, not a lavish one. Don't you know what level our Liujia Village is?!"
Liu Ji ran around his yard with his head in his hands. Hearing the roar coming from behind him, he retorted aggrievedly:
"I am just doing what you said, my lady. Besides, our family is not short of that little money now. After all this hard work, we have gained a good reputation. Now everyone in the village will say that you are a righteous man! Master Zhen also said that he would come to thank you when he is well again!"
Is this reputation so easy to earn? He goes around telling people: My wife has repeatedly warned me that it is not easy for a teacher to come to our remote village, and that such an accident has happened. We must take care of the funeral of his coachman and make Master Zhen feel like he is going home. Only then will he be willing to stay and teach our child well.
Qin Yao threw a stick at him, "I won't thank you for anything. Is Zhen Yubai's thanks worth thirty taels of silver? If he says a few more words, our family will go bankrupt!"
"Bankruptcy?" Liu Ji dodged the flying stick and asked eagerly, "Excuse me, madam, what is bankruptcy?"
Qin Yao didn't expect that his dodging skills were so perfect that he actually avoided her stick. Her eyes turned cold and she suddenly exerted strength. She leaped into the air and descended from the sky. She used a move of "Taishan Pressing Down on the Top" to pin Liu Ji, who wanted to run away, to the ground.
"Bankruptcy means losing everything, do you understand?" Qin Yao leaned over to his ear and whispered.
The warm breath entered his ears, and Liu Ji's hair stood on end. He kept saying, "I understand, I understand!"
Qin Yao sneered, and slapped his handsome face as a symbolic punishment, then let him go and warned:
"If you squander my money like this again, I'll kill you!"
Liu Ji covered his face and subconsciously asked, "How do you want to kill me, my lady?"
After he said it, he realized what he had said. He stepped back and looked at her nervously, wishing he could smash his mouth.
Qin Yao stared at him dangerously for several seconds. Seeing his eyelashes blinking wildly in panic, she sneered, thinking he looked cowardly, then turned around and strode away.
Seeing that she was really gone, Liu Ji relaxed and sat down on the ground, then he dared to breathe deeply.
But why was I kind of expecting to be killed by her just now?
Liu Ji was frightened by his own thoughts and quickly shook his head to get rid of this inexplicable idea.
In order to help Zhen Yubai recover soon, the village arranged for the sisters-in-law and aunts from each family to take turns cooking and cleaning, and to be responsible for the new master's food and daily life.
And because Qin Yao's family paid for the funeral, the villagers consciously did not arrange for her family to take turns.
Half a month passed like this, and by mid-October, Zhen Yubai had almost recovered, and occasionally when the weather was fine he would go out for a walk in the village.
In order to let the teacher feel the warm welcome from all the villagers of Liujia Village, Qin Yao specially arranged for Liu Qi and other young people in the village to take the teacher around the surrounding areas when they are free to familiarize him with his future working environment.
However, Zhen Yubai did not seem to be interested in the mountain and water scenery in the village. Instead, he liked to take a walk around the Lotus Courtyard.
If he met Master Gong Liangliao and his two disciples pushing a wheelchair out for a walk, he would immediately step forward and try to join them, saying that he had admired the great scholar for a long time.
At first, Liu Ji didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because there were many scholars in the village who came to see their teacher.
But meeting Zhen Yubai once or twice is normal, but meeting Zhen Yubai every time you go out seems very deliberate.
Other scholars who came here to admire the great scholar would not neglect their studies even if they wanted to see him. So most of the time, these scholars studied hard in their rooms and rarely went out.
What's more, in this weather, although the sun occasionally shines during the day, the wind blowing from the river bank is still chilly, and no one would go out and suffer the cold every day.
When he pushed the teacher out again and met Zhen Yubai who came forward with surprise, Liu Ji became more cautious and secretly observed the teacher's reaction.
You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see him.
To other scholars he met by chance, the teacher appeared to be a master, but in fact, there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
But Zhen Yubai had done this several times, obviously deliberately waiting in wait to create an encounter, but the teacher didn't even show any sign of annoyance!
Something is wrong. This is very wrong.
Liu Ji raised his eyes to look at Zhen Yubai, and suddenly found that this man, who was about the same age as him, was not bad looking.
He is also humorous and well-informed. He can talk about everything under the sun, and has the boldness and generosity of a rich young man who travels around the world relying on his family wealth and a chivalrous knight.
Looking at teacher Gong Liangliao again, there was admiration in his eyes as he looked at Zhen Yubai.
Liu Ji's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis - the position of his junior brother was in jeopardy.
"My lady, my lady!"
As soon as he got home, Liu Ji eagerly found Qin Yao who was looking at the account book in the main room, and wanted to get close to her ear to tell her his discovery.
Qin Yao sensed someone approaching, so she stretched out her hand and slapped Liu Ji accurately on the face. With a slight force from her fingertips, she pushed Liu Ji, who was trying to get closer, one meter away.
"If you have something to say, sit down and talk." Qin Yao didn't even raise her head and continued to look at the account book, but her tone clearly showed that she was unhappy about being interrupted.
Liu Ji knew very well that she hated to be interrupted when she was concentrating on handling matters, so in order to avoid another beating, he found a chair and sat down in front of the charcoal basin, suppressed his anxiety, and waited for her to finish.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Qin Yao finally put down the account book in her hand, picked up the homemade charcoal pencil and made a few notes in the small notebook she carried with her.
After finishing the recording, she put down everything in her hands and looked up at him. "What's the matter?"
In view of his tact just now, her attitude was unusually gentle.
Liu Ji was flattered and thought to himself, it would be great if my wife could be so gentle every day.
He boldly pulled the chair closer to her. Even though there was no one else in the room except him and his wife, he still lowered his voice and whispered his suspicions about Zhen Yubai into her ear.
After saying that, he stared at Qin Yao to see her reaction.
Unexpectedly, she was not surprised at all, and said with a faint smile: "Master, since you are so free, it seems that our school should start classes."
Liu Ji was anxious, "Madam, why aren't you anxious at all? He must also want to become my disciple, so he is so attentive and created this stupid encounter!"
If the teacher really fell into the trap, would he still be the teacher's beloved little disciple?
