Chapter 916 A good student
Chen Xuan looked at his mother helplessly, "Mom, I am the head of the Chen family now, I don't care about face anymore, me?"
Mrs. Chen didn't indulge him, "Son, you and your mother talked about being the head of the family. Let me tell you, this is not the capital, this is Yejia Village.
Go to the village and take a look, you will see that every child in every household listens to his mother.
Chen Xuan knew that he would lose no matter what if he argued with his own mother, so he gave in and said, "Mom, it hurts, my son hurts!"
When Mrs. Chen heard her son cry out in pain, she quickly let go of his hand and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chen Xuan was speechless. "Mom, it's my fault."
After hearing what Chen Xuan said, Mrs. Chen nodded in satisfaction. Then she glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes, "Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Chen Xuan knew that if he continued to argue with his mother, there would be no end in sight. He pretended to be obedient and changed his ways, "Mom, don't worry, your son will let you hold your grandson sooner or later."
After saying this, Mrs. Chen smiled. Just as she was about to praise her son, Chen Xuan took the opportunity to slip away.
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she pointed at Chen Xuan who was running away and complained to Chen Yu. Chen Yu comforted Mrs. Chen, "Madam, think about it, he is our son. If you think about it this way, you won't be angry anymore."
"Husband, you?"
"Okay, let me tell you, I found a promising student in Yejia Village.
It's just that his family isn't well off. Why don't you come with me and ask his family what their plans are for the future."
"Who is it?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
"Husband, are you lying to me? There are still families in Yejia Village who are not doing well.
Aren't they all living a good life with the help of our goddaughter?"
"Madam, can you please keep me in suspense for a while?"
When Chen Yu and Mrs. Chen passed by Zhang Juexia's house, they called out, "Juexia, Beixiu, come with me to do something."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu had just entered the house and sat down to drink two sips of water. When they heard Chen Yu's call, they trotted out.
"Godfather, would you like to come in and talk?"
"No, you should be free, come with me to your uncle's house."
Mrs. Chen was even more puzzled. "My husband, where are the scholars in Uncle Beixiu's family?"
"Madam, you'll know once we get there. Can I keep you in suspense for a bit?"
Madam Chen pulled Zhang Juexia's arm and said, "Juexia, are there any scholars in your uncle's family?"
This question also confused Zhang Juexia, and Ye Beixiu took over from behind, "Godmother, there are indeed no scholars in my uncle's family.
However, my eldest aunt's nephew from her mother's side worked as a helper in their family. My eldest brother told me that after finishing work every day, he would go to the workshop to study with his godfather.
"Godmother, is this scholar you are talking about Zhao Ning?"
Mrs. Chen pointed at Chen Yu and said, "Ask your godfather."
Chen Yu was walking ahead, but when he heard Zhao Ning's name, he stopped. "I was going to keep it a secret, but you guessed it. Madam, this is the Zhao Ning I was talking about."
Zhang Juexia couldn't help it, "Godfather, what happened to Zhao Ning?"
Madam Chen pulled Zhang Juexia and said, "Juexia, he's fine. Your godfather said he's a good student, but his family is not well off. He wants to go to your uncle's house to discuss it with his family."
Chen Yu stood there impatiently, "Madam, can we talk about this after we go to Uncle Bei Xiu's house?"
After Zhang Juexia glanced at Chen Yu, he took Mrs. Chen's arm and walked towards Ye Yunsheng's house.
Ye Yunsheng had gone to work in the mountains, but Zhao Baofeng was at home. When she heard Chen Yu say he was looking for Zhao Ning, she was so scared that she dropped the things in her hands. "Master Chen, did Ning'er get into trouble at the school?"
Chen Yu burst into laughter. He pointed at Zhao Baofeng and turned to Zhang Juexia, saying, "Today I finally understand. No wonder there are children in our village who are studying in the academy. Whenever I talk to them, they always give me the same expression and say the same thing as your aunt."
Zhang Juexia also laughed, "Godfather, you made it clear that you were the teacher the moment you came home. What parent wouldn't be worried?"
Then she stepped forward and took Zhao Baofeng's arm, "Aunt, my godfather came here today with no ill intentions.
He came to talk to Zhao Ning's parents because Zhao Ning was a good student.
Zhao Baofeng patted his chest and said, "Oh, I was so scared! I thought Zhao Ning had gotten into trouble at school and the teacher had found him at home!
Well, you guys sit down first. Zhao Ning is working in the back hills. I'll go call them over."
Ye Beixiu stopped Zhao Baofeng, "Aunt, I'll go!
My godfather and godmother are here, please chat with them."
"Alright!"
Chen Yu walked around the yard, and only after Zhao Baofeng enthusiastically invited him in did he nod and go into the house to have tea.
Zhao Baofeng pulled Madam Chen again and called out to Zhang Juexia, "Juexia, hurry up and help your godmother into the house for some tea."
Zhang Juexia helped Zhao Baofeng make the tea. Zhao Baofeng then tiptoed out to look, "Why didn't he come?"
"Aunt, please sit down and talk to my godfather and godmother. No matter how fast Bei Xiu is, he has to find them and then go down the mountain. It will take at least a while."
“That’s right!”
Zhao Baofeng nervously approached Chen Yu and asked cautiously, "Master Chen, you said you wanted to talk about my nephew. Why don't you tell me about it first?"
"Sister-in-law, please sit down first and let's talk slowly."
Zhang Juexia helped Zhao Baofeng sit down, "Aunt, let's sit down first and listen to what my godfather has to say."
Mrs. Chen also let Zhao Baofeng sit down. "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. My head of the family didn't tell me anything else except that your Zhao Ning is a good student."
After hearing what Madam Chen said, Zhao Baofeng looked at Chen Yu in disbelief, "Master Chen, is what Madam Chen said true?"
Chen Yu hummed, "Sister-in-law, my wife is right, Zhao Ning is indeed a good student.
I came here to discuss with you whether it is possible to let this child study with me all day long."
Zhao Baofeng was in a dilemma, "Master Chen, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to discuss it with his family first.
In fact, a few days ago, I mentioned the matter of letting Zhao Ning concentrate on his studies.
But this boy was very stubborn. He said he didn't want to eat for free. He would work in the morning and go to Mr. Chen's place to study in the afternoon, without wasting any time.
He also said that he didn't want to be a bookworm, and that working could keep him healthy and give him more knowledge.
After hearing what he said, I also started to wonder. I know that working can be good for your health.
But what knowledge can you gain from farming?"
After hearing what Zhao Baofeng said, Chen Yu became even more satisfied with Zhao Ning. "Sister-in-law, you must tell me the truth about what I'm asking you."
