Chapter 435 My eldest brother has offended someone.
The two children are eight or nine years old, and they speak rudely and arrogantly.
Yi'er frowned upon hearing this, clearly displeased. Before the two of them could say another word, he had already thrown the thick stack of books he was holding into the box.
This caused the two men to cry out in pain.
"Who threw that book at me! Who?!"
Zhang's grandson said angrily.
Yi'er, with a sullen face, like a little adult, slowly stood up and said coldly, "Me."
Upon seeing that it was the county magistrate's son, Zhang's grandson immediately fell silent, obediently covering his aching head and turning his face away indignantly.
The young grandson of the Liu family, however, was not good at reading people's expressions. "Zhou Yi! We didn't say anything wrong. What teacher is a woman? If Mr. Zhou doesn't want to teach us, then let us go home!"
Miss Qu stood in front without saying a word, but she wasn't angry either. She slowly placed the book in her hand on the table and said, "If you think I'm not qualified to teach you, you can leave now."
Liu's grandson's face changed instantly, and he angrily shouted, "Who do you think you are, daring to tell us to leave!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yi'er threw another stack of books at him, which landed heavily on the head of Liu's grandson. "Get out! This academy is run by my mother. If you don't like it, then don't study here."
Although he was young, his childish voice carried a hint of authority.
This made Liu's grandson and Zhang's grandson both angry and furious.
Not long after, the two of them actually rushed out.
After taking the two away, the schoolroom immediately fell silent. Miss Qu gave Yi'er a grateful look before continuing her lesson.
Not long after Liu's and Zhang's grandsons left, the sound of reading aloud filled the room once again.
The two of them stopped outside the school gate, listening to the sound of students reading aloud inside.
"Brother Liu, are we really leaving like this?" Zhang's grandson turned around and glanced at the academy.
Liu's grandson crossed his arms and said, "That's right, it's better not to attend a school like this."
Zhang's grandson had calmed down by this time and said in a low voice, "My father went to great lengths to beg Magistrate Zhou to send me in. If I leave now, my father will definitely beat me to death."
The young grandson of the Liu family rolled his eyes and said, "Then you can stay at my house for the next few days. You can go back home once your father has calmed down."
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang's grandson nodded.
The two were still just children, completely unaware of the vastness of the world. After leaving the school, they secretly slipped into the Liu family's mansion.
The two of them ate and drank heartily at Liu's residence.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Liu's grandson still felt unconvinced. "That Zhou Yi brat has attacked us several times because his father is the county magistrate."
"Yes, that little brat beat my head so badly it's swollen," said Zhang's grandson, rubbing a large bump on his head.
Liu's grandson nodded in agreement.
The two men harbored deep resentment towards the boy who was several years younger than them.
The Liu and Zhang families used to be shopkeepers who did business with Master Fang. Later, when they had money, they bought a wealthy family's house in Cheng'an County. They also owned land and some money.
However, he had never been to school, and was pedantic and arrogant, as were his sons and grandsons.
That's why the patriarchs of the Liu and Zhang families thought of sending their children to school so they could study more. They couldn't expect them to become top scholars; as long as they could read and write, that would be enough.
They don't know yet that their two grandsons have run away. If they did, they'd probably break their legs.
After the two of them complained about Zhou Yi together, their resentment grew stronger and stronger.
"No, I can't let that kid bully me like this."
"Brother Liu, are you going to go and teach them a lesson?"
Zhang's grandson asked.
Liu's youngest grandson frowned, stood up and said, "Zhou Yi may be young, but if it really comes down to a fight, he will definitely be ruthless."
Zhang's grandson's eyes darted around, and he said, "Why don't we tie up their little sister and see if they dare to act so arrogantly in front of us again?"
Upon hearing this, Liu's grandson thought it was a good idea, his eyes shining as he smiled and said, "Okay, that little brat should be very easy to fool."
Zhang's grandson nodded emphatically in agreement.
After they made their decision, the two secretly returned to the academy and waited at the entrance.
Until Yi'er and Yu'er went out.
Little Mianmian followed behind the two of them.
The three of them followed the people sent by the Zhou family to get into the sedan chair and go home.
While Xiao Mianmian was walking behind, Liu's grandson and Zhang's grandson secretly covered her mouth and hurriedly carried her away.
When Yi'er and Yu'er turned around, they found that Xiao Mianmian was gone.
Yu'er quickly looked up and around, "Where's Xiao Mianmian? Where did she go?"
He wanted to turn back and chase after him.
Yi'er stopped him, "Don't panic, let's hurry back and tell Father and Mother~"
He spoke in a serious tone, looking more like a little adult than usual.
Yu'er nodded, and the two immediately went home.
"What? Xiao Mianmian is missing?" Zhou Ruiyuan was sitting and reading a book when he heard that Xiao Mianmian was missing. He immediately stood up, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.
