"Hurry up and write something for me. If you don't want to write, you don't have to." Mo Yan changed the subject, her gaze softening slightly as she looked at him, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Tao Zhengyi felt a chill run down his spine. He had a feeling that his mother didn't think that way. Could she be planning something against him?
"Mom, will you hit me if I don't write it?"
Tao Zhengyi thought for a moment, then cautiously asked the question.
"No, since you don't want to learn, I have to respect your decision. What will you do if you don't study? You'll have to support your family in the future. I think you can farm. Start working in the fields with me tomorrow. I'm sure I can teach you. If you can't do anything that doesn't require thinking, then you're really stupid."
Mo Yan reached out and patted Tao Zhengyi's head, looking at him with great trust. "I believe you're not hopelessly stupid, right?"
Tao Zhengyi: "..."
Tao Zhengyi felt like crying, "What if... I don't know how?"
"Then you'll have no choice but to go out and wander around, and see if any kind-hearted people are willing to give you some leftovers to eat."
Mo Yan kindly told him how to wander, "When you wander, you need to prepare a backpack. Wherever you go, that's your home. The backpack is your blanket. Remember, you can't be too clean. You must have fleas on you, otherwise it won't look right."
As Mo Yan spoke, she looked into the courtyard, as if she was about to find him a tattered blanket.
Tao Zhengyi was terrified and somewhat bewildered. "Mom, Mom, please don't do this, please don't do this, I...I...I won't go homeless anymore." Can't he just study properly? Homelessness is so shameful.
"If you don't want to go wandering, that's fine too. I'll call you when it's time to farm tomorrow."
Tao Zhengyi: "..."
"Can I not go?" Tao Zhengyi was almost in tears.
"Then you should just go wander the streets." Mo Yan sneered.
"I...I'll go write."
Tao Zhengyi, hurry up and write! Mom is so mean, waaaaah...
The three girls cherished their school days very much, so they wrote with extra care. In their eyes, their aunt might have just been saying that casually, but they were still grateful.
...
As soon as it was getting light, Mo Yan got up. When she went out of her room, she saw three little girls feeding chickens, feeding pigs, and sweeping the yard.
Why are you all up so early?
“We usually sleep around this time, Auntie, why don’t you go back to sleep for a while?” Daya said with a sweet smile.
“Yes, Auntie, we can cook in a bit,” Er Ya chimed in.
"I'll cook. I'll go wake Tao Zhengyi up."
Mo Yan went directly to Tao Zhengyi's room and started knocking on the door.
"Tao Zhengyi, get up and go wandering."
Tao Zhengyi was fast asleep when he mumbled a few words, but it was impossible to tell what he was saying.
Mo Yan pushed the door open, and good heavens, the blankets were all on the floor, and he was sprawled out like an octopus, with his arms and legs spread out on different parts of the floor.
Mo Yan picked it up and threw it in the living room.
"If you don't get up, I'll give you a bucket of cold water. I'll let you experience the joy of cold water."
Tao Zhengyi opened his eyes immediately. When he saw that the sun hadn't even risen yet, he immediately became unhappy. "What are you doing? It's not even dawn yet."
"Tao Zhengyi, are you blind? It's so bright, can't you see?" Mo Yan went straight to find a feather duster.
Tao Zhengyi: "..."
"I saw it, Mom, why are you up so early?" Tao Zhengyi felt like crying. His mother was always looking for a feather duster, it was too much.
