Master Li angrily retorted, "As the saying goes, 'Like mother, like son.' If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. With your uncouth character, you expect your son to rise to prominence through education. You will be destined to be peasants your whole lives."
"Whether we are destined to be peasants or not is not your concern. But your fate is also such, Master. Instead of worrying about ours, you should worry more about your own."
After saying that, Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo's hand and left, no longer paying attention to the man who was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.
Master Li pointed at their backs, his body trembling slightly with anger.
"Shrew, shrew!"
Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo out of the school, and Xiao Zimo looked at her from time to time.
"What do you want to say?" Bei Yutang asked.
Little Zi Mo stopped, and Bei Yutang followed suit, looking at him in confusion. His eyes were blazing with determination, and he said solemnly in his childish voice, "Mother, Mo'er will definitely make a name for himself, pass the imperial examination, and give you a good life."
Bei Yutang squatted down, looked him in the eye, and said seriously, "Mo'er, when your mother lets you study, she doesn't ask you to become a great person. She just wants you to learn more and increase your knowledge."
If she hadn't experienced the mission world, she might have told him that she believed he would become the top scholar one day. However, now she didn't want to put too much burden on his weak shoulders.
"Okay. Since this place doesn't work, let's go to another one."
"Yeah." Xiao Zimo looked at the person holding his hand, his eyes more determined than ever before.
He must make sure his mother lives a good life and has no worries about food and clothing.
Master Li was not suitable here, so Bei Yutang had to take him to the next village, where there was a school. The teacher was an old man who was a juren. But something happened to him later and he returned home to open a school.
The school where the old teacher is located is a bit far from home, which will take the boy Mo half an extra incense stick of time to walk.
The two men inquired about the school where the old teacher was in the village. When they got there, they saw a simple courtyard. Standing outside the gate, they could hear the sound of reading coming from the courtyard.
Bei Yutang caught a glimpse of the light flashing in Xiao Zimo's eyes out of the corner of her eye, and she knew what he meant.
An old woman saw them and came forward to ask, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, we are here to see the old man."
The old woman glanced at Xiao Zimo and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment. He is still teaching students. He will come over as soon as he finishes his class."
"good."
The old woman led Bei Yutang and her son into the house and poured them tea.
"How old is the kid?" The old woman looked at Xiao Zimo kindly.
"Four years old."
"Four years old is great, it's the perfect age for learning. They learn quickly."
Bei Yutang chatted with the old woman and learned a lot. This was Master Qin's wife. She was kind and well-mannered, and her words and actions showed that she was well-educated.
Just from her, Bei Yutang, the old teacher whom he had never met, had half the confidence. He thought she would not be like Master Li before.
The old woman looked at the time and stood up. "Looks like it's time for him to finish class. I'll go get him. You wait here for a moment."
"good."
A moment later, an old man with white hair and a spirited look walked into the house.
The old woman introduced, "Madam Mu, this is the Master."
Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo stood up when the old man walked into the room.
