Aunt Li, who had been helped by Shen Zhizhu, stood in front of Shen Zhizhu and spat on the ground.

"Bah! I think you are the one who wants to put the blame on Xiaozhu and Haonan. I think you are just taking revenge on Xiaozhu for asking everyone to study with Du Manjun, so you crossed out the names of these two people and didn't report them to the school."

Aunt Li gestured with her hands and described to everyone in vivid detail what happened last night.

"You may not know this, but yesterday when Xiaozhu and his wife came back from the city, Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu were still pretending to be nice to them. They both knew that Xiaozhu was not on the list, but they still deliberately came to ask Xiaozhu if they had gone to school and what the school atmosphere was like. Xiaozhu was smart and made them speechless. Today, the village chief asked everyone to pay for the tuition. How could it be such a coincidence?"

Then she showed off to everyone as if she were her own daughter and son who had gotten something good.

"Xiaozhu and Haonan have already been accepted by two schools in the city. They are the best schools in the city. How can they lie? They study until late at night every day, and get up as soon as my rooster crows the next day to continue studying. Do these two outstanding children need to spend time to take revenge on you? It's ridiculous!"

what?

The two went to school in the city.

Du Zai De was dissatisfied. How could these two people go to school in the city? It seemed that the villagers were deceived by them.

He felt regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have crossed their names off the list and let the two of them go along with everyone else in the school in the next village.

There won’t be so many things.

"These two kids are really competing with each other. The school in the city."

"You won't lie or take revenge if you study in the city? Comrade Shen Zhizhu, have you all forgotten how she chopped people with an axe and how she was aggressive towards my father and me at the last meeting? Humph, I think she deliberately led you astray so that you could come here to cause trouble and vent her anger."

Du Zaide tried to continue to confuse everyone and shift the focus to Shen Zhizhu's personality, but he didn't expect that the truth of this matter was very simple.

Xu Haonan listened to it for a while.

"To find out the truth, we can just go to any school and ask. Village chief, why don't we go to the school with everyone and confront them?"

"Yeah, let's go there, everyone."

"Let's go, let's go now."

Facing everyone's urging, Du Zai De took a step back, a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his expression no longer had the arrogance he had before.

Eyes flickering.

Aunt Li pointed her finger over and said to the people around her with her head tilted.

"Look at the village chief's expression. Is he afraid to go with us? Is he worried that the truth will be exposed? It would be better for him to return the money as soon as possible, so as not to make things awkward for everyone."

Aunt Li's words were supported by everyone, and they all asked him to return the money.

Du Zaide wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He was extremely panicked, but he still kept up a calm face.

"It's not that I don't want to go with you. The Manchu army will be back soon and I have to cook for him."

Some people were shocked

"How old is your son? You do the farm work, take care of the chickens and ducks at home, and even eat ready-made meals?"

"My child, at the age of seven, can cook for me and bring it to the fields. I never thought that."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you guys are raising him like a young master."

Children in rural families become responsible for the family early. Many of them help with housework from a young age. The younger ones stay at home to look after the house, or go to the fields to deliver meals, sweep the fields and feed chickens at home.

When I was older, I would help with cooking.

Everyone found this incredible. They thought that Soldier Du Man was in better shape than most people, and that was probably because he spent most of his time studying and did less work.

I didn't expect that you would do nothing at all.

Shen Zhizhu couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"If the college entrance examination is not restored, he will have to rely on his parents for the rest of his life."

Du Zaide didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The child was smart and motivated, and the teacher praised him. Hands are used for turning pages and writing, so how could they do such rough work?

"What do you know? My family doesn't make money from these things. What's wrong with letting my child do what he likes? Besides, studying is not a bad thing. The teacher said that my son Manjun is a good student!"

The promising young man Du Manjun had just returned from class. He saw a group of people gathered at the door of his house from a distance and was complacently thinking that it was his father who was talking.

He looked at Shen Ai Qiu who was craning her neck to look at him curiously, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he raised his voice and shouted at her.

"Dad, I'm back. Are you done with the meeting?"

Shen Zhizhu spoke first.

"Hey, your young master is back. Have you prepared the meal? Don't let him go hungry."

Anyone who heard the tone knew that he was mocking. They all laughed out loud at the same time. Shen Ai Qiu and Du Manjun were puzzled. What did he mean? What young master?

They didn't know what they were laughing at, but they could tell from Shen Zhizhu's tone that he definitely didn't mean anything nice.

Shen Ai Qiu adopted the behavior of an older sister and began to educate him with great disapproval.

"Sister, how could you say such things to Du Manjun in front of everyone? It's so uneducated. But it's not your fault. It's normal for my sister to not read many books and not know how to read since she was a child. Brother Manjun, please don't take it to heart. I will teach her slowly in the future."

Du Manjun also had an "I forgive you" look on his face and waved his hands as if he didn't mind.

"I'm not a mean person. I know Xiaozhu is still mad at me because I didn't stop her from marrying Xu Haonan, that rough guy. She also hates me for not leaving her name in the school."

Shen Ai Qiu comforted her with understanding.

"No way, sister, are you still bothered by this after all this time? But these things have nothing to do with Brother Manjun. How can you put all the blame on you? Xiaozhu, apologize to Brother Manjun quickly."

Shen Zhizhu used his tongue to press the flesh on both sides of his mouth. He felt that these two people were probably fools. They were always self-righteous, living in their own world and treating everyone else as fools.

"Can you please stop talking, you idiot? Du Manjun, let me ask you this: your father collected 30 yuan in tuition from everyone, but now all schools offer free education. Did you know this?"

She felt that Du Manjun definitely knew, because Du Manjun's momentary panic did not escape her eyes.

Humph, they are indeed birds of a feather.

Du Zaide's furious voice rang out.

"Shen Zhizhu, what do you mean? Are you questioning the son of the village chief? The school told me that I have to pay tuition to go to school. My family works hard for the sake of our fellow villagers, but you, a woman, always make trouble out of nothing and mess up everyone. Now you want to accuse us of a crime you didn't intend to commit in order to get revenge for our previous conflict."
