Is there any more evidence?
Li Yu's expression gradually became serious.
Fang Chenyu pointed to a place not far away and said, "Look, Maodan is the most suspicious one."
"Do you remember that one of our classmates asked the teacher why there were no female students in the school, and what the teacher said?"
"The teacher said our school doesn't accept female students."
Fang Chenyu clapped his hands and said, "Right! Our school doesn't recruit females, and you've also read news in the newspapers that encourage women to go to school."
"Uh... I've seen it, what does that mean?"
"It means that the woman doesn't like to study. Maodan holds a tattered notebook all day long and draws on it with a branch, without even using pen and ink. This shows that she is pretending! She is pretending to study hard, just to set an example for us two. If we are not around, will she read? I dare say that this was all designed by my father and uncle, so that we two can study." Fang Chenyu said proudly.
"Hmm... that makes sense! I really wouldn't have thought of that if you hadn't told me." Li Yu was shocked, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong, "But I really don't think Uncle Zhou and his family are pretending. Could it be the newspaper's problem?"
Fang Chenyu waved his hand and said, "That's absolutely impossible! Think about it, my father and uncle must have found the best actors, so it's normal that they can't tell. It's even more impossible for the newspaper to lie."
"We just cheated a little money, and we can't say it was intentional, but we got beaten up like this! That's a newspaper, think about it."
"If the newspapers lied, wouldn't that be equivalent to deceiving the whole world? That would be a crime, and it would be worthy of being chopped into minced meat."
"My father and uncle own the newspaper together. Will they allow something like this to happen? Absolutely not!"
After saying that, Fang Chenyu sighed and muttered, "You said that leaving us in this shabby place to perform, how much time will it take? My studies have fallen behind... How can I catch up later?"
Do you have room to retreat?
Li Yu squinted at him and said, "Well, even if what you said is true, we still have to work. If you sit around like this every day, when will they come to pick us up?"
Fang Chenyu waved her hand and said firmly: "Don't be afraid!"
"Were we not punished for lying? What are they doing now? They are lying to us! When the people who are waiting for us arrive, I will go up and expose their scam. How dare Dad and Uncle leave us here?"
"Hmm..." Li Yu pinched his chin in deep thought, turned his head to look at Maodan who was squatting on the ground not far away and nibbling potatoes, and said hesitantly: "Maodan is so timid, I still don't believe she is acting."
"Why don't you just ask the honest Maodan? I don't think she would lie."
Fang Chenyu said: "Okay, let's follow her when she returns to the house. See how I expose this little liar. He is so young and yet he is already lying. He deserves to be beaten!"
Li Yu said nothing, leaning against the tree and thinking silently.
Fang Chenyu picked up the potatoes on the ground and bit them with a look of disgust on his face.
After more than ten minutes, Maodan and Zhou Fugui had finished their meal and rested.
Maodan cleaned up the dishes and walked towards Fang Chenyu again with the small basket, only to find that the bowl on the ground was empty.
He tilted his head to pick up the empty bowl on the ground, and then immediately hurried home, afraid of being discovered by Fang Chenyu.
Looking at Maodan's back, Fang Chenyu smiled evilly and nodded at her back: "She went back. She went back."
Li Yu sighed softly, "I see. Even if she's an actor, don't be too harsh. Look how scared she is. Do you think it's fun to bully people?"
Fang Chenyu said unhappily: "Who wants to bully her? If they give us potatoes, their family must eat meat in private! This is called bullying. You will know it later."
The two walked towards the hut.
.....
At this moment, Maodan had washed the dishes neatly, and his little body was crawling on the wooden table in the corner of the room as usual, gesturing at the book with a small wooden stick.
Fang Chenyu and Li Yu pushed the door open and walked in.
Maodan turned around alertly and saw Fang Chenyu, and immediately lay down again, tensing his muscles and pretending to study seriously.
Just as Li Yu was about to step forward to ask questions, Fang Chenyu reached out to stop him and approached Maodan alone.
Feeling someone approaching, Maodan's ears turned visibly red, and he shyly stretched out his left arm to cover the old books on the table.
Fang Chenyu leaned close to his ear and said grimly, "Maodan, let me ask you a question."
"Why is your family so poor?"
Maodan was frightened and lowered his head in inferiority, whispering: "Ah?... I... My family is poor..."
"Tsk tsk, you really acted like it." Fang Chenyu raised his head, "Maodan, it's so embarrassing that your family is so poor. There are no poor people like yours out there. You know if you keep pretending to be poor, you'll be bringing shame to our Dajing."
"Do you believe that after I return to the capital, I will file a complaint with the authorities and have you, your father, and your grandfather arrested and thrown into jail?"
Li Yu frowned and wanted to stop it but finally held back.
He also wanted to see whether it was fake or not.
Maodan raised his head, his eyes widened with fear: "I'm not pretending... Why did you arrest my father and grandfather, Brother Fang, don't report to the police..."
Are you scared? Just know you are scared!
Fang Chenyu was happy: "You still say you're not pretending? You don't have to report me to the police. Let me ask you, where did you and your family live?"
Maodan was confused and said nervously, "I have always lived here and have never been anywhere else."
"Where are your mother and grandmother?"
"Dead..."
"How did he die? What did your father do?"
Maodan's two little hands were clenched with sweat, and his eyes were moist as he said, "My grandmother died early. My father gambled when he was young, and the family had no money. My mother died of illness... Later, my grandfather also fell ill, and my father stopped gambling and came back to farm..."
The arrangement is quite round!
Fang Chenyu smacked his lips and said, "Okay! Fine! Then let me ask you again, why do you read that book every day?"
Maodan was extremely sensitive and pushed the worn-out book on the table to the corner twice: "My father bought it for me... I want to learn to read, and when I grow up, let me go to a girls' school..."
Afraid that Fang Chenyu would not believe it, Maodan stood up and walked to the wooden cabinet in the room, rummaged through the cabinets and found a small wooden box from the bottom.
When I opened the box, I found two newspapers inside, which were worn and brittle at the edges. However, they were neatly folded, and it seemed that they had been carefully preserved.
Maodan carefully placed it on the table, took it out and spread it out.
"My dad bought this. They said it was news about a girls' school recruiting students..."
Fang Chenyu took a look and sneered, "This tattered newspaper is still wrapped up. I think it's too shabby to be used as a wall sticker!"
