Chapter 265: Going to the Village School as a Teacher
The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally erupted at this moment, and the old grandfather's momentum was astonishing.
Gu Yuexuan was innocently involved in this dispute. She looked around and found that her sisters-in-law who were doing embroidery all lowered their heads and pretended not to hear, and no one dared to come out to help.
Seeing the old grandfather's chest heaving violently with anger, she hurried out to smooth things over: "Third Uncle definitely didn't mean that!"
"He just thinks you're wasting your time working in the fields. You should showcase your talents on a bigger stage. Otherwise, how can you live up to your erudition?"
"Uncle San, don't you think so?"
Tu Suting was so scared that he squatted on the ground. He sniffed, his face full of embarrassment and shame. "Yes, Xuanxuan is right, that's exactly what I meant."
The old grandfather glanced at him sideways, and Tu Suting immediately shrank his neck like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to make any sound.
Gu Yuexuan pursed her lips, stepped forward lightly, squatted down, looked up at her grandfather whose face was red with anger, and her expression turned serious: "Grandfather, I do have some ideas about this matter."
The old grandfather was slightly taken aback by her calm temper, then smiled humorously: "What weird idea have you come up with?"
A few days ago, Tu Suminyang had an argument with a little bully in the village. As a result, the little bully from the Hao family led a group of children to surround him in the middle of the road and beat him up. The situation was quite miserable.
The Tu Su family has a simple way of raising children and strictly follows the village's custom of free-range raising.
It is common to see children playing and fighting with each other. They are covered in mud, like mud monkeys. After returning home, their parents pull their ears and give them a scolding. The next day, they still do their own thing. When the adults of the two families meet, they are all smiling and don't care.
However, Gu Yuexuan was dissatisfied with this.
It's okay to bully others once by relying on your numbers, but how can you come and cause trouble every day during meal times?
This is too much!
The kid from the Hao family was born with supernatural powers. His punches were like sandbags and made people unable to fight back. What was even more infuriating was that he had no martial ethics at all. Even though they had agreed to a one-on-one duel, this kid always launched surprise attacks and started group fights.
Tu Suminyang, though young, was extremely concerned with his reputation and stubborn. When a duel turned into a group brawl, he wouldn't flee even if he couldn't win. He'd set a time for the duels, and after three meals a day, he'd go out and get beaten. His little face was covered in bruises, and Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but feel pain in her heart when she saw this.
So, she carefully inquired about the dueling methods of these children, and then secretly gave advice to Tu Su Minyang, who was silently enduring the blow.
With the help of Gu Yuexuan, Tu Suminyang was like having a wise and brave military advisor. He used softness to overcome hardness and actually won the victory.
The old grandfather with white hair recalled the funny things in the past and couldn't help laughing: "Thinking of that little guy from the Hao family, how scared he was of dogs, it really makes me laugh."
"That day, Tu Suminyang went out with a bag of large bones that exuded an alluring aroma. Half the village dogs came to him, smelling the scent. The Hao family kid was so scared that he panicked and climbed up a tree. He hid there for most of the day and didn't dare to come down until Hu Hongsheng built a ladder."
"I also heard that Tu Suminyang was feeding the dogs under the tree while giving some advice to the kids who had followed the Hao family kid into ambush. Those kids thought the Hao family kid was so impressive that they dispersed right on the spot."
The originally brave and fearless army of children was defeated in one day, and the boy from the Hao family lost his ambush helper. The next day, he was attacked by Tu Su Minyang and was pinned to the mud and beaten. He returned home with tears and snot on his face.
Before the evening dinner was over, the villagers had already heard the joke. When Mrs. Hao ran into Gu Yuexuan in the fields, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Yuexuan blushed a little.
After all, this is not something worth bragging about, and it always feels a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.
She gritted her teeth and said calmly, "Originally, I didn't intend to interfere, but the Hao family's brat is too arrogant and unreasonable."
"Besides, this idea is not my own."
Tu Subo also participated in this drama.
Tu Suminyang suffered a loss during the day, so he went home at night and studied the art of fighting the enemy under the guidance of Tu Subo. He couldn't wait to engage in actual combat early the next morning, and returned in the evening to continue strengthening his training.
It's not just her and Tu Subo. As far as she knows, the Hao family is not sitting idly by.
Gu Yuexuan shrunk her neck slightly and muttered softly, "One of the Hao family's sister-in-law's family members is an escort agent. It is said that he is very agile and can fight against eight people alone!"
"Sister-in-law Hao mentioned to me the other day that in order to help her son defeat Tu Suminyang and vent his anger, she specially invited this brother from her mother's family to stay for a few days to teach the Hao boy how to win."
There was a hint of pride in her tone: "After all, there is no lack of professional guidance at home."
"Grandfather, look, under Tu Subo's careful guidance, isn't Tu Su Minyang performing better than the Hao family's kid? They had another duel yesterday, and in the end, it was our Tu Su Minyang who won!"
At least at this moment, the winner is Tu Su Minyang!
Gu Yuexuan's face was filled with obvious pride, as if she was about to lift her tail up and wag it happily at the next moment.
Yu listened patiently for a while, then finally couldn't help herself. She took a deep breath and said, suppressing her laughter, "You really can't stop praising me."
"Don't you know how smug Tu Suminyang has been these past few days? If you keep praising him like this, won't he be flying off the handle?"
Xi Lanfang joined in the laughter. "Before, when he lost, he came home like a frost-bitten eggplant, drooping and drooping. But these past few days, he's been like the big rooster in the village chief's house, with its head held high and its tail held high."
The children's feuds came and went quickly. The adults, stifling their laughter, watched from the sidelines, offering occasional advice. The little ones were full of fighting spirit, and every day was a fierce battle.
After the fight, they did not seem to hold a grudge. Instead, they gently broke a piece of cake and shared it together, which was enough to prove that their hearts had not been eroded by hatred.
Gu Yuexuan chuckled, suppressed her smugness, coughed, and brought the topic back on track: "Grandfather, this time I'm not proposing a bad idea, but a serious suggestion."
The old grandfather looked at her with a smile: "Then tell me slowly and let me hear how serious this idea is."
"Grandfather, why don't you consider becoming a teacher at the village school?"
"Village school?"
"That's right."
Gu Yuexuan felt a little tired from squatting, so she pulled over a small stool and sat next to her grandfather. She analyzed with a serious expression: "There is no village school in our village, but there is one in the neighboring village!"
"Tu Subo had previously made special inquiries. The village school was jointly established by two villages. Two years ago, a scholar who failed to pass the imperial examination was teaching students there."
