The old man surnamed Mi was stunned by what the Miao elders in the village said. He never dreamed that his honest discussion about diplomas with a young Miao man would elicit such a strong reaction from these Miao elders.
In that instant, he, who was always respected—
His lips twitched with anger. If another kid had spoken to him like that, he would have felt belittled and would have definitely retaliated.
But now it's his peers who are shouting it out.
Even the old man on the left looks a few years older than him.
But--
How could these old Miao men be so rigid and pedantic? They even bowed slightly to Tang Mo just now. Could it be that the Miao family's holy maiden has a very high status?
Even if she's tall, she's still just a young Miao woman!
Just then, two girls came in from outside!
The two girls' eyes naturally fell on Amo. When they saw Amo wink at them, they subtly responded by pinching their knuckles behind their backs.
He then looked around and beckoned to Ah Chen, "Brother Ah Chen, come out for a second and watch something for us."
Now?
"Right now!"
"good!"
Ah Chen didn't think much of it. He told Lao Ji and the others that he would be right back, then got up and went out!
And after Mu Achen left—
"Old Mi, jokes aside! Don't always take things so seriously!"
Lao Chi quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
Old Ji also said, "Young Master Mu may not have a high level of education, but his abilities are even better than those of us old men. If he wanted to get a diploma, it wouldn't be your turn to introduce him; I'd take care of everything."
"You two--"
Old Mi was still angry, and now he was angered by what Old Chi and Old Ji said.
He glared fiercely at Lao Ji, then turned to look at Achen, who had already walked away, and, oblivious to his own mortality, said to Amo:
"Tang Mo, you're a top student from Tsinghua University, how could you possibly think of getting involved with that young Miao guy—"
"Old Mi, are you drunk without even having a drink? You must be tired from playing these past few days, come lie down on my bed."
Old Ji, fearing trouble, quickly stopped him, using this as a reminder to Old Man Mi to value his life, especially given his choice of words.
The word "play" has a lot of meaning.
Old Man Comic said, "What wine would I drink? What games would I play? It's my fault for being late and not being able to help you—"
"Go quickly," Old Chi also hinted.
"Old Mi, you need to change your temper."
The old man next to him also spoke up to remind Old Man Mi not to be arrogant, and said, "Young Master Mu will be back soon, don't disturb him discussing the wholesale price of the Supreme Beauty with Old Ji and Old Chi."
But at this moment, Amo spoke up, "Elder Ji, Elder Chi, please don't interrupt Professor Mi. Let him finish what he was saying. Professor Mi, please speak freely!"
"Tang Mo, I really have to get this off my chest."
"You, a top student, who I heard even graduated early! All for that little Miao Lang who just went out, who's only a junior high school student. You girls really don't consider the consequences of your actions."
boom!
This old man Mi actually dared to lecture the Miao family's holy maiden; does he have a death wish?
His words instantly made the atmosphere in the shed strange.
The Miao chieftain and the village elder, dressed in long skirts, were so angry that their faces turned black.
If Yang Ahu and Gu Axiong, who were standing to the side, hadn't seen the Holy Maiden's suggestive expression, they would have already chopped down this ignorant old bastard.
Even Yan Hao, who was sitting in the corner waiting to hear how much the wholesale price of the Supreme Beauty would be, now found this guy surnamed Mi even more displeasing.
I thought to myself, who do you think you are!
They're in such a hurry to report to the King of Hell.
As for Amo, her expression remained as indifferent as ever, but it was so indifferent that it sent chills down the spines of those who knew her well.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Amo's beautiful apricot face.
Amo looked at the self-important old man Mi and said, "First of all, thank you, Professor Mi, for coming to visit my Miao family in eastern Guizhou after receiving calls from Elder Ji and Elder Chi."
have a look?
That's right, I just came to take a look! I didn't do anything.
As for the tests conducted by Mr. Ji and Mr. Chi on the fruits in the two orchards, that has nothing to do with you.
"Perhaps it's because my Miao family isn't well-off, or perhaps we didn't treat you well, but you didn't spend much time in the orchard! It's all our fault. It's Professors Ji and Chi who have been so worried and troubled by the injustice done to my Miao family's orchard. They've worked so hard."
"Tang Mo, don't be so polite, we—"
Amo raised her hand and gestured for the professor to let her finish speaking first.
Then--
Amo's gaze fell again on Old Man Mi's unpleasant face, and she continued, "To put it bluntly, my Miao family doesn't owe you anything! If we're talking about owing anything, it's only to Elder Ji and Elder Chi."
"If that's the case, I'd like to ask Mr. Mi, by what right do you point fingers at my husband? Criticize my actions? And even try to damage our marital relationship?"
This time, Amo directly replaced "you" with "you" and questioned her directly!
The destructive power at this moment is considerable!
She fiercely protects her husband! And defends herself!
Upon hearing these words, Lao Ji and Lao Chi sighed softly, and the expression on Old Man Mi's face also became complicated.
Old Man Mi was stunned.
Faced with Amo's questioning, he really didn't have a better reply.
However, he still said, "Tang Mo, I'm doing this for your own good! That Miao boy isn't good enough for you."
"For my own good? I, Tang Amo, did not know you before this, and we are not familiar with each other during your stay in Miao territory. So, what is the meaning of this 'for my own good'?"
