Chapter 757 Continue
The three of them stood in a row in front of Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the three of them, stroked his beard, and said, "You're all used to copying books. I think today I'll change your punishment. Wait two days, until you're well again. Then take your brooms and go out to sweep the streets. Sweep the distance from our alley to the street outside, about a hundred feet. Sweep until your end-of-year exam results come out and you can return home."
The three of them opened their mouths in shock.
Mr. Zhuang said, "While sweeping, think about where you went wrong. If something like this happens again next time, will you still hit someone?"
Manbao asked guiltily, "What if we still hit someone?"
Mr. Zhuang looked at them with a deep gaze and said, "Do you think this entire Kangxue Street is big enough? If not, then we can sweep Huanxi Street as well."
The three of them shuddered, then immediately bowed their heads and said in unison, "Sir, we know we were wrong, and we will definitely reflect on this."
Mr. Zhuang then snorted and asked Zhou Silang to go to the street to pick out three better brooms for them.
Zhou Silang, who was enjoying the fun, didn't expect to end up having to pay for it. He glanced at Mr. Zhuang carefully and said, "Mr. Zhuang, are you going to let Mr. Bai go?"
Mr. Zhuang said nonchalantly, "Bai Ning is just a bastard, and he's still young. He can easily find out what's going on in the courtyard. If Bai Yu knew that Bai Ning was plotting against Man Bao, how could he have the nerve to come to him..."
He looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang and said calmly, "Then you two families should think carefully about whether you still want to have any contact with this relative."
Manbao scratched his head, "Bai Ning is a bastard?"
Mr. Zhuang glanced at her and said, "You dare to hit someone before you even know their identity. From today on, you will be responsible for cleaning the house."
Manbao and the other two: ...
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang turned their heads to look at Manbao.
Manbao looked back innocently, and after a while, she could only admit defeat and lower her head, feeling ashamed.
When Zhou Silang heard this, he immediately went out to buy them brooms and was extremely happy.
The bruises and scrapes on their bodies were not worth mentioning, so as soon as the door was closed, Mr. Zhuang picked up their homework again.
During the break, they would fetch water and start cleaning. They also had to clean the yard, trim flowers and trees, water and weed, etc.
Not only Zhou Silang, but also Daji suddenly had some free time. They simply occupied a chair each and sat in the warm sun to bask in the sun.
The three of them are extremely busy. They have to study and attend classes, do homework, and clean the house. Even though they are not going to school, they are much busier than usual.
Moreover, they were injured, and the further they went on, the more Bai Shan and Bai Erlang glared at Man Bao.
What can Manbao do?
She feels that she is also wronged?
She just asked a question that none of the three of them knew the answer to.
They were not able to rest until the sun set.
The three of them dragged a small stool and sat in the yard to bask in the last bit of sunset. Looking at the sunset glow in the sky with sorrow, they said, "What are we going to do in a few days?"
"Yeah," Bai Shan counted on his fingers, "I have to go to school, sweep the streets, and clean the house."
Bai Jilang added, "There's also homework."
Bai Shan: "I can finish my homework at school."
Manbao also said: "I can also finish my homework after class."
Bai Jilang glared at the two of them.
After all, he was the youngest junior apprentice, so Manbao and Baishan felt that they loved him very much, so they comforted him and said, "It's okay, we will help you when you finish your work."
Bai Erlang said: "There is still reflection!"
According to the teacher's habit, after they have been punished, he will definitely ask them what they have reflected on, and then he will write another article.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, the punishment won't last until your end-of-year exams. It's still early, so we can think about it slowly."
Bai Shan and Bai Jilang didn't feel comforted at all.
Zhou Silang was so happy listening to this that Zhou Lijun found that she didn't feel sorry for her aunt anymore. She felt that this was not good, so she took the initiative to say, "Aunt, let me water the flowers and plants. I'll take good care of them for you."
The three of them happily agreed, then turned their heads to look at Zhou Silang and Daji who were sitting beside them.
Daji closed his eyes to rest. Zhou Silang said, "This is a punishment from the teacher. The purpose is to make you reflect on your mistakes. I can't help you."
The three of them looked away in disappointment, then glanced at Aunt Rong who was making dim sum molds.
Aunt Rong immediately said, "Master, Master Tang, Miss Man, I don't dare to help."
Mr. Zhuang in the study coughed twice, and the three of them immediately stopped looking. The courtyard fell silent, and everyone quietly basked in the sunset and admired the evening glow.
At this time, the Bai Mansion next door was bustling with activity.
In the morning, after Bai Yu left the courtyard next door, he went to the yamen first. He didn't have time to investigate Bai Ning's matter until he returned home in the afternoon.
He did not disturb Bai Ning, but directly questioned the servant beside him and the two maids serving in the yard.
It took a long time to ask them separately about what happened on the Winter Solstice Banquet, and then Bai Yu was furious.
He didn't expect that this matter would happen so early, and it was such a shady trick in the backyard. He was so angry that he ran to Bai Ning's bed and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he saw that Bai Ning's face was bruised and swollen, so he couldn't do it. Finally, he ran to the main courtyard and started quarreling with Duan.
This incident happened in the backyard, so it was naturally the Duan family's responsibility.
So the couple started arguing, and it was not a lively scene.
Unfortunately, the courtyard where they lived was separated from this side by a large garden, so the people in the small courtyard knew nothing about it. After everyone digested their food and listened to two stories told by Mr. Zhuang, everyone went to wash up and prepare for bed.
He didn't know that Bai Ning next door was under house arrest after the couple had a quarrel. He was under house arrest for half a month. When he came out, he could directly take the year-end exam.
Mr. Zhuang and his companions waited for two days. Seeing that no one from the Bai Mansion next door came and everything was calm, he knew that the matter was over. So he waved his hand and his three disciples went out with brooms to sweep the floor.
Every night after school, they would go to the streets to clean.
After a day of walking around and doing business, the streets were the dirtiest after school in the evening. The three of them went out with only a broom on the first day, but found that the piles of garbage could not be swept away. On the second day, they added a shovel, but after adding the shovel, they found that the place to dump the garbage was very far away. On the third day, they pushed out a tattered cart from somewhere.
The swept garbage was poured into the cart and then pushed to the place where it was dumped. People on the street gathered around to watch the three distinguished young masters and young ladies doing these rough jobs, and they were very happy.
The next update will be around 10pm
