Chapter 79 Old man, go back!
Wu Yuhong's homeroom teacher is a male teacher, and because she is introverted and embarrassed to complain to the teacher, she has been troubled by this for several days.
Shen Xuewei was also a little angry when she heard that this matter existed.
By this time, the two had returned to the village, and she pulled Wu Yuhong to sit down on a nearby stone.
"Yuhong, don't be afraid. If you're too embarrassed to talk to the homeroom teacher, talk to one of the other female teachers who teach your class. Otherwise, what if he gets more and more outrageous if you don't say anything?"
“But…” Wu Yuhong hesitated, “I feel a little embarrassed to talk about this.”
"But if you don't speak up, you'll keep getting bullied. People will think you're easy to bully, and they'll go further and further astray."
She glanced at Wu Yuhong and suddenly realized what was happening.
Are you afraid of telling the teacher and then getting revenge?
Wu Yuhong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, he's petty and loves to talk bad about others..."
Shen Xuewei took a deep breath and softened her voice.
"It's okay. Observe the female teachers who teach your class and see which one you like best. Then, whisper to her in private and tell her not to tell anyone that you were the one who complained. Just say that you saw it by accident during your rounds..."
She talked to Wu Yuhong for a long time, and Wu Yuhong wrote it all down.
Looking at Shen Xuewei, he exclaimed, "Weiwei, not only are you good at studying, but I never knew you knew so much..."
Shen Xuewei just smiled.
It's not that she knows a lot, but rather that it's the experience and lessons she accumulated from her past lives.
After returning home, she cleaned the house inside and out as usual, and then began to cook dinner.
When everyone returned home that evening, they gathered around the fire pit for dinner. Grandpa Chen asked about her midterm exam results, and upon learning that she was first in her grade, a clear smile appeared on his face.
"Good, it seems your grades haven't slipped. But don't get complacent, keep it up."
"I understand, Grandpa. I won't slack off."
After the meal, she cleaned up the dishes and carried water to the abandoned pigsty for Granny Chen to take a bath.
After everything was over, she finished all the homework assigned by her teachers under the dim light.
In junior high school, in addition to Chinese, math, and English, there are also courses such as politics, history, geography, and biology.
With so many classes combined, the amount of homework is much more than in elementary school.
She didn't turn off the lights and go to bed until she had finished all the homework she had brought back.
She doesn't need to go to the fields this weekend, but Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi chopped firewood on the mountain and left it there to dry, so they didn't have time to bring it back.
Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi went to another village for a banquet.
Because this relative's house was quite far away, and Shen Xuewei didn't want to take such a long car ride, she simply didn't go with them.
Although they didn't go, the two of them asked her to bring back some firewood from the mountain before they set off, so they made preparations early in the morning.
She told Da Huang to watch the house, and when she saw Granny Chen with a hoe trying to go back to the field, she quickly stopped her.
She couldn't hear, and Shen Xuewei gestured in front of her for a long time before finally stopping her.
When she wasn't allowed to work in the fields, she threw a tantrum, threw down the hoe, and went back inside, refusing to talk to Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei didn't care about her little temper; she was actually relieved to see her go back to her room.
Grandma Chen is already ninety years old. At such an advanced age, her body is becoming increasingly frail.
A few days ago, she went to the field to pull weeds and was bitten by a snake.
When she got home, her hand was swollen so badly that Grandpa Chen and his wife were terrified and pulled her to go to the county hospital.
Grandma Chen had never been to the county, let alone the town, and refused to get on the bus with the two of them no matter what.
Finally, having exhausted all other options, Grandpa Chen invited an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor from a nearby village to examine Grandma Chen.
The old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed medicine and administered acupuncture to Granny Chen, and the swelling in her hand finally subsided.
From then on, Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen originally intended not to let Grandma Chen get out of bed.
After several days of trying, Granny Chen failed to go down the mountain and instead fell ill.
Grandpa Chen invited a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to cure her, and he didn't dare to stop her anymore. However, every time she went to the fields, either he or Grandma Xi would go with her, so as not to miss her.
Before they set off, the two had instructed Shen Xuewei, so she dared not let Granny Chen get out of bed by herself.
After thinking about it, I was still a little worried.
He then ran next door to find his second maternal grandmother who was at home.
"Second Grandma, I'm going up the mountain to get some firewood. My grandparents have gone out. Could you stay home and watch over my great-grandmother so she doesn't go out?"
My second maternal grandmother, who was peeling corn, nodded upon hearing this.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him for you and make sure that old man doesn't go out."
Shen Xuewei was momentarily speechless at the words "old thing" she uttered, but she didn't say anything.
When my second maternal grandmother first married into the family, she had some conflicts with Granny Chen.
The situation only improved after the two separated and stopped living together.
However, over the years, he still calls him "old man" all the time.
With someone watching over her, Shen Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief, took a wood-chopping knife, and headed towards the Wu family's house.
She and Wu Yuhong had agreed to go up the mountain together to chop firewood.
"Yu Hong, are you ready?"
"Almost there, almost there. I'm getting dressed. Come in and sit down for a bit, wait for me!"
Shen Xuewei searched around for a while, broke off a tree branch, and then opened the gate to the front yard of the Wu family's house.
The Wu family kept about ten geese in their front yard.
Geese are known to... love to bite people.
When Shen Xuewei first came to Xiaoli Village, she went to the Wu family to find Wu Yuhong and was pecked by her family's goose several times.
After learning his lesson, he would prepare a tree branch or bamboo stick to drive her away every time he came to her house.
Sure enough, as soon as the gate opened, a flock of geese stretched their necks and flapped their wings as they ran toward her.
Shen Xuewei didn't hold back at all and called directly.
The goose honked and was shooed aside, making way for Shen Xuewei. She quickly ran over, walked a few steps up the stone steps, and stood at the entrance of the Wu family's house.
She took a stool from the side and sat down, waiting for Wu Yuhong inside.
A goose stood below, its eyes filled with resentment. She hit it several times with a stick, and it finally hid in a corner.
After waiting for five or six minutes, Wu Yuhong was finally ready.
The two left the Wu family's house and walked up the mountain while talking.
Meanwhile, inside the Chen family's house, with the gate ajar, Granny Chen secretly peered out.
Upon discovering that only Big Yellow was lazily lying on the drying ground, and that Shen Xuewei, who was always in charge of everything, was not at home, he was overjoyed.
With a basket on his back and a hoe in hand, he pushed open the door and headed to the fields.
My great-grandmother from next door was peeling corn, swaying her head and humming a song, when she spotted Grandma Chen at a glance.
He glared at me and shouted, "Old man, where are you going? Come back right now! You're not allowed to get out of bed, do you hear me?"
He yelled, but seeing that Granny Chen didn't react at all, he continued walking into the field.
Second Grandma slapped her forehead, annoyed, "I almost forgot, this old man is deaf..."
She quickened her pace, stood in front of Granny Chen with a fierce look, and pointed towards the Chen family's door:
"Old man, go back!"
Grandma Chen couldn't hear, but she could understand what Grandma Chen meant from her actions.
After a brief standoff, seeing that she still wouldn't budge.
Finally, he slumped his shoulders and returned home, grumbling and cursing.
