Chapter 271 She was kicked out of the academy
Xu Jiaojiao looked a little embarrassed and rubbed her hands under the table.
He looked up again and said with certainty, "I wrote it myself."
Qi Mo's brow furrowed deeply. "Let me ask again, did you write the 12th chapter of the Analects of Confucius, Yan Yuan, fifty times?"
Xu Jiaojiao stared and said with certainty: "Yes... I wrote it myself."
Bang!
Qi Mo slammed the ruler in his hand on the table.
Baoya and Yunyue below were startled unexpectedly, and Yunhua also trembled slightly.
"You didn't listen to a word I said during detention yesterday!"
"Why did I punish you by making you copy the Analects? What did I say to you yesterday? Do you even remember a single word?!"
Confucius said: "If a man is without integrity, I do not know what good he can be." Mencius said: "Sincerity is based on the unity of heaven and man and the theory of the goodness of human nature. Sincerity can be achieved without morality."
"On the second day after arriving at the academy, you're already lying?! Look for yourself, the handwriting on each of these pages is different!"
Xu Jiaojiao picked at her fingers, feeling aggrieved when she was hit on the head.
That’s right, she asked several servants in the house to help her write the punishment last night.
But she clearly told them to imitate her handwriting as much as possible, so how could Qi Mo still see it?
"Xu Jiaojiao, your mother didn't spend money to ask you to come here and fool around. If you continue like this, I, Qi, am afraid I can't teach you anymore."
Qi Mo's face was very cold. He did not raise his voice again, but the atmosphere in the entire Enlightenment Hall was very heavy.
Xu Jiaojiao clenched her hands together and rolled her eyes at Qi Mo.
She was spoiled by Xu Huiqin since she was a child. She always had the final say and the servants in the house obeyed her. When had she ever suffered such injustice?
"Hmph!" She cried softly, stamped her feet hard, and suddenly stood up from her seat.
"What a lousy academy! I'm not happy to come here!"
After saying that, he picked up his book basket and walked out.
He passed by Zhang Shun and threw the book box directly on his desk.
Zhang Shun was startled by the loud noise and looked at her timidly.
"What are you looking at!" Xu Jiaojiao glared at him. "Big fool! Hurry up and give it to me!"
Zhang Shun didn't want to carry the book box at all. She wanted to leave on her own, so what did it have to do with him?
His father worked as a waiter to attract customers. He saved money for several years before he had enough living expenses for him and prepared the tuition to send him to school.
He is different from Xu Jiaojiao. The opportunity to study at Yucai Academy is hard-won, and he cannot leave.
However, Xu Jiaojiao was scolded in public by Qi Mo and humiliated. She was angry and anxious at the moment.
Seeing Zhang Shunwen sitting still, he became angry and raised his hand to fan him in the face.
Zhang Shun was the son of a waiter who served customers at her family's restaurant. In her mind, he was no different from a servant, so she just beat him.
She raised her hand and slapped Zhang Shun in the face, but failed to do so. Her slender white wrist was held tightly by someone.
When she lowered her head, she saw Baoya, who was half a head shorter than her.
Baoya was standing on tiptoe at this time, her small hands tightly gripping Xu Jiaojiao's wrist. She was very strong, and Xu Jiaojiao struggled several times but couldn't get free.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Xu Jiaojiao was furious. Why were all of them looking for trouble with her today?
"He doesn't want to help you carry the book box." Baoya said.
Xu Jiaojiao gnashed her teeth and said, "What's it to you, little village girl? He's my servant. I can beat him up if I want to!"
"He is not." Bao Ya opened her starry eyes wide and looked at Xu Jiaojiao steadily.
"Zhang Shun's father is a waiter in your restaurant. He only works for your family, not your servant! Zhang Shun is certainly not one!"
"My mother hired his father, so they're just servants!" Xu Jiaojiao glared at her, "Let go! Or I'll have someone beat you up!"
Baoya refused to let go, biting her lips and glaring back unwillingly.
"you!"
Xu Jiaojiao was so angry that she raised the other hand that was not restrained by Baoya and slapped Baoya.
But Qi Mo grabbed it.
“That’s enough!”
Qi Mo said coldly, "Xu Jiaojiao, go home. My Yucai Academy cannot accept a student like you. I will return all your tuition fees later. You are the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and I am not worthy of teaching you!"
He grabbed Xu Jiaojiao's wrist, shook it off in an instant, and stared at her coldly.
Xu Jiaojiao felt her head buzzing. Was she being kicked out of the academy?!
Qi Mo is nothing! How dare he chase her away!
And those girls from the Yun family, just country girls from the countryside, how dare they act so arrogant in front of her!
"I still have the audacity to study in your shabby academy! You have no moral integrity as a teacher!"
After saying that, she bit her lip, glared at Baoya and Qi Mo, picked up her bookcase and ran out crying.
Wait, just wait for her!
If anyone dares to bully her like this, she will never let them off easily!
Xu Jiaojiao left crying, and Baoya finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Mo's complexion also recovered a lot.
Zhang Shun, who was curled up in his seat, had his shoulders twitching constantly, as if he was crying.
Baoya was standing next to him and noticed it quickly.
Seeing Xu Jiaojiao bullying Zhang Shun just now reminded her of the time when she was beaten and scolded by Chen Xiaojuan and Zhou Cuihua at Chen's house.
One of them couldn't help but stand up.
But Xu Jiaojiao had been driven away by Mr. Xiao Qi, so why was he still crying?
"Zhang...Brother Zhang Shun?" She stretched out her small hand and gently poked Zhang Shun's arm. "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Shun sniffed and quickly shook his head.
She said in a very low voice, "I...I'm fine, thank you...thank you."
Qi Mo also noticed something was wrong and walked over.
He asked, "Zhang Shun, Yucai Academy will no longer accept her."
But Zhang Shun buried his head and his shoulders shook even more violently.
He tried his best to control himself and said to Qi Mo, "Thank you...Mr. Xiao Qi."
Qi Mo frowned: "But what's your difficulty? Tell me, I'll do my best to help you."
Zhang Shun bit his lips tightly. What's the point of saying it out? Mr. Xiao Qi couldn't help him.
At this moment, Baoya next to him suddenly said, "Oh, I see."
Qi Mo and Zhang Shun both looked at her immediately.
Baoya asked, "Are you afraid that your father will be driven out by the guests and have no work to do?"
Her family didn't have much money before, and she knew how difficult it was for Zhang Shun's father to save enough money to send him to school.
Moreover, the only people Xu Jiaojiao could vent her anger on after being driven back like this were naturally Zhang Shun and his father.
Zhang Shun didn't say anything, but nodded slightly. This little girl really guessed it right.
Seeing him nod, Baoya stretched out her little hand and patted her chest, saying proudly: "It's okay, my family also runs a restaurant. When I get back, I'll ask my mother to hire your father to work."
"My family will pay your father double the wages!"
