Chapter 27 Going to College
"If they don't understand, read it to them! Put it up on the door too, and write a few more saying that I, Chang Xixi, am willing to keep a gigolo at home. See if they can still talk nonsense."
"You, are you going to announce this to the world?"
Qingnan was so excited that she forgot to call Chang Xixi Madam, but she didn't care.
"Why not announce it to the world? This is my husband, I can dote on him however I like. Do you think the government is going to interfere in the affairs of the boudoir?"
Chang Xixi didn't care whether her words were pleasant to the ear or not, as long as she could suppress this evil spirit! People's words were scary.
Gu Rongyu wants to divorce her today. After the first time, how long will the second time be? Forget about having a wife and children and a warm bed. It's like killing someone.
Now that she was rich, she had aroused the jealousy of those people, and they could say anything they wanted.
The next day.
The bright sunlight shone on the earth, and the dewdrops were emitting crystal light, like shining gems. Dou opened the door, and the dewdrops on the weeds at the door were shaken off and fell into the soil.
"Oh no, oh no."
Widow Li from next door came running over with a piece of paper and a few sweet potatoes in her hand, "Ms. Dou, your daughter is going crazy. Go and take a look."
When Dou heard this, she became extremely anxious and hurried to the east end of the village. She saw that the entrance was crowded with people, just like the village chief's family was having a meeting.
this?
Not knowing what was going on, she pushed through the crowd and quickly walked forward to take a look. She saw Chang Xixi crying and complaining to the village chief.
The village chief frowned and didn't say a word of comfort. He took the paper that Chang Xixi had someone distribute and brought it to Qingnan, asking her to read it word by word.
Chang Xixi just cried without blushing, but Gu Rongyu hugged her shoulders even tighter.
"It's shameful! This village is peaceful every day. Every other day, you're either bullying others or others are bullying you!"
The village chief was angry, and Doushi hurried forward, "What's going on? What happened?"
Chang Xixi grabbed Dou's hand and blinked continuously.
"Mom, I can't stay here any longer. Let me go! Anywhere is fine. My husband is not in good health, and I want him to recuperate. Who knows what people in the village will say. Besides, this house is also my husband's. He also earned the money to feed the family. How can you ask me to support him? What kind of nonsense is that!"
"My son-in-law is not a lazy person. He will have great potential in the future."
Dou had heard a lot of these words in the village. It was nothing more than people gossiping, and the more they talked, the more outrageous it became.
Chang Xixi doesn't agree!
"Mom, yes, it's my fault. But my husband is mine, I will take care of him if I want! I don't care about them. If you have any problems, just come to me!"
Those villagers who spoke harshly didn't dare to say anything more.
The village chief was also angered by Chang Xixi and asked everyone to disperse.
Chang Xixi sobbed and asked Qingnan to carry out a basket of eggs from the yard. "These are my gifts to everyone. From now on, talk less and do more! Read more books when you have nothing to do and gain some knowledge."
A few villagers with angry tempers realized that Chang Xixi was clearly insulting them and left in anger.
evening.
Chang Xixi heard the sound of the door opening, got up from the bed and lit the nearest candle. Seeing Gu Rongyu coming in, she whispered, "Husband, do you still want to divorce me now?"
Gu Rongyu had nothing to say. She proved with her actions that she didn't care whether he was a gigolo or not.
"No."
The brief words were recognized by Chang Xixi.
She moved aside the bed beside her, took another quilt and put it there, then slept inside. "Tomorrow, I'll send you to school in the county."
"Madam, what do you want?"
"Studying and taking exams are your way out." Chang Xixi sighed. Women could not make a name for themselves in ancient times.
She was able to protect herself for a while because this was a mountain area filled with ignorant people.
If her wealth makes others jealous, or if she is noticed by someone in the county, it will be a disaster, so she has to take precautions as soon as possible.
From that day on, Chang Xixi accompanied Gu Rongyu to the county town to study, and this news spread throughout Wanfu Village in a short time.
Dou, her elder brother, and her father didn't gossip much. They just kept supporting Chang Xixi and felt that she worked very hard to drop her off during the day and pick her up at night.
Another day passed. Qingnan opened his eyes and was caught by Chang Xixi to do hard labor. He had to fetch water and then help Gu Rongyu wash and prepare things for school.
Chang Xixi sat on the ox cart, looked up at the mountains and rivers, and unconsciously recited a poem.
"The green mountains cannot block it; after all, it flows eastward."
Gu Rongyu asked aloud, "Why do you say that?"
"I'm hoping you can get good grades, bring honor to our family, and allow me to become a first-rank lady, and then go down in history as a great name. Can you trust me?"
Chang Xixi laughed again. This poem was not written by her!
At the entrance of the academy, Chang Xixi saw Gu Rongyu walk in and finally understood the feelings of those who sent their own children to the examination hall. She reminded him, "Remember not to argue with others."
Gu Rongyu paused for a second, turned back and nodded.
She finished school at 3:30 pm, and now it is 3:30 pm. She has to stay here for several hours. She really has no place to kill time. There are no computers or mobile phones here.
She wandered to a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts on the first floor, and listened to other people gossiping.
A few days later, Chang Xixi was very bored. She ate noodles, burped, and ate a piece of meat. After she was full, she put the bowl down.
He took out a few copper coins and placed them on the table, and the waiter came to clear the dishes.
"I see that the young lady stays here day after day and doesn't go home. I think she must have something to hide. Would you mind telling her?"
"None of your business!" Chang Xixi rolled her eyes. There were all kinds of people like her. Did they think she was pretty or that she was rich and easy to cheat?
The waiter was so frightened that he trembled. He had never seen such a rude woman.
The ox cart moved slowly and shakily in the mountains, as if time would just stand still. When we arrived at Wanfu Village, thousands of houses were already lit up.
"Qingnan, come here. I need your help tonight."
"Ah, what does the young lady want to talk to me about?" Qingnan glanced at Gu Rongyu, who was completing his homework, uneasily and spoke awkwardly. How could the young lady speak so inappropriately?
Gu Rongyu knocked on the desk lightly, and Qingnan followed Chang Xixi out of the room.
"Come on, copy this for me one hundred copies, or preferably two hundred copies." Chang Xixi threw him a piece of paper with words written on it and a cute little man drawn on it.
Qingnan had no choice but to struggle with these words under the moonlight and dark circles under his eyes, and only finished at midnight.
Chang Xixi hadn't slept at all. When he wrote the best word, she had already walked to the table and handed him a bowl of midnight snack, which was plump and round.
