Chapter 206 Aunt Steals Things
Ye Yunqiao did not go home obediently, but squatted under the osmanthus tree at the school gate waiting for his sister.
He still stretched his neck to look into the school.
The last class every Friday afternoon is labor class.
I've taken the children to the fields, the mountains, and the river before, but today, because the second class of the imperial examination has an exam, I've asked them to clean up the school.
Some of the children were carrying buckets, some were holding brooms, and they were playing and working at the same time, it was very lively.
Looking at all this, Ye Yunqiao's eyes were filled with envy that was almost overflowing with love.
I heard that the school is big and beautiful, and there are very good teachers teaching them.
He also wants to go to school there.
However, the headmaster refused him.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head in disappointment.
He is too greedy.
Half a year ago, he thought that being able to eat was the happiest thing. Now that he can eat well thanks to his sister, he has started to think about studying again.
He clasped his tiny hands together.
No! He can't rely on his sister for everything.
Studying is his business, and even if he asks others to make sacrifices, he should do it himself. He can't expect his sister to do everything for him. Otherwise, what's the difference between him and his uncle's family who only know how to suck blood?
He didn't expect to be able to study forever, he just wanted to study for free this year.
A year would be enough for him to learn the basic words for daily life, and then he could go to the county town or Juzhou to find a job. Didn’t Uncle Wang from the next village marry into a wealthy family just because he could read?
Then he can do it too.
But how can I persuade the headmaster to accept him?
The little head was lowered with a sad look on its face.
"Yun Qiao."
Hearing his sister calling him, he quickly raised his head, his face still showing a sadness that he couldn't hide in time.
"Sister." He quickly stood up and walked quickly to Ye Yuntang's side. Then he looked at her carefully.
Her eyes weren't red, so she hadn't cried. Her clothes weren't wrinkled, so she didn't look like she had been bullied.
He finally felt relieved.
He thought he had hidden it well, but Gu Jiayue saw through him at a glance.
He's a good brother, unlike her brother who even released poisonous spiders to bite her. "Go back, and come find me tomorrow at this time. If you're still alive, you can just go to my house and wait for me."
She still had to invigilate the exam tomorrow morning, so she could only ask Ye Yuntang to come to see her in the afternoon.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here at this time tomorrow."
After the two of them discussed it, Ye Yuntang took her brother away.
At this time, some students who were returning home late from school ran past them, and the laughter of their peers stirred ripples in Yun Qiao's heart.
Ye Yuntang ruffled his dry, yellow hair. "Don't be sad. Principal Gu just told me why I can't accept you. It's not because she doesn't like you, but because the school has already started a long time ago, and she's worried you won't be able to keep up. So you can't start until next spring. Do you understand?"
Ye Yunqiao looked up at his sister in disbelief. "Sister, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Ye Yuntang smiled and asked, "Why would I lie to you?"
This kid actually started to doubt his sister.
After receiving her sister's affirmative answer, Ye Yunqiao was delighted at first, but then a huge sense of guilt surged in her heart. "Sister, are you always begging Gu Shanzhang for me? Actually, I don't really want to study, so you don't have to beg anyone for me."
Ye Yuntang sighed. This child really looked like her.
Growing up eating at many people's houses, she suffers from inner torment every day.
Especially when a woman in the village would be insulted by her mother-in-law and husband for giving her a bite of food. Whenever she encountered such a thing, she would refuse the food from the kind woman, but she was determined to give it to her.
But if she didn't eat, she would starve to death, so every day she felt like she was living in the eighteenth level of hell, feeling guilty yet still yearning for something.
Later, the somewhat silly volunteer teacher sponsored her, and she no longer had to rely on others for food.
At that moment, she felt relieved. Although she still owed others a favor, at least she no longer had to face Aunt Zhang's scars or Uncle Li's verbal abuse. Grandma Wang sighed.
When she saw Ye Yunqiao, she thought of herself, so she couldn't help but want him to be better.
"Don't think too much. I didn't ask for help from Principal Gu. Principal Gu is a very good person. She even gave me a job. I can work and earn money in the school in the future."
"Really? Helping with cooking in the cafeteria? I heard from the children in the village that their mother cooks in the cafeteria and takes leftovers home every day. So we won't have to worry about food in the future?"
When Ye Yunqiao heard that her sister had found a job at school, besides being happy, her first reaction was the cafeteria.
Although his sister had learned a few words from somewhere, she couldn't be a teacher in a school, right? So the only one left was the cafeteria.
Forehead....
Ye Yuntang suddenly came to her senses. Yes, she was just a girl who grew up in the countryside. How could she know anything about physics?
So how does she rationalize what she knows?
Sad!
The brother and sister walked home, each with their own thoughts.
Gu Jiayue also walked to the door of her house, but found that the house was very lively.
No, it should be described as a chaotic mess.
My aunt was fighting with my aunt, and all sorts of things were scattered around. There were quilts, eggs, even pots and pans, and yesterday's leftover meat.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting." The others gathered around, wanting to step forward to pull them apart but not daring to.
Gu Jiayue hurried forward and looked at her pale grandmother with great worry. "Grandma, are you okay?"
When grandma saw Gu Jiayue, her heart was filled with sorrow. She held Gu Jiayue's hand tightly and sighed, but she couldn't utter a word.
It was the sister-in-law next to her who tugged at Gu Jiayue's sleeve and whispered what had happened.
To put it simply, when my aunt was leaving, she secretly took a lot of things from the house and was seen by my aunt.
Of course, if she took all of grandma's things, her aunt wouldn't say anything, after all, they are mother and daughter.
But the eldest aunt should never have wanted to take the eldest aunt's things.
That was a whole piece of bacon, but it was given to her by her mother yesterday. She couldn't bear to eat it and wanted to make it during the Chinese New Year for everyone to try.
But this sister-in-law was so shameless as to want to steal it?
How could that be? My aunt-in-law rushed over and started beating and scolding my aunt while pulling her hair.
Sun Laihu wanted to help, but he was still weak from the incident the day before. Seeing how aggressive their aunt was, the three sons didn't dare to approach.
The other members of the Gu family were still angry about what happened yesterday and didn't want to step forward to stop the fight, so they just watched the two men fight.
Gu Jiayue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This aunt is really...
Indescribable.
To use the words in the novel, it really is a top-notch product.
She had traveled through time for so long, and she hadn't seen many top-notch people. She felt that although everyone had their own little thoughts, they were all within a reasonable range.
There are really not many people as selfish and self-interested as my aunt.
"Alright, stop it!"
Grandma picked up the bamboo on the ground and slammed it hard, making a loud noise.
The Gu family members who were originally stunned hurried forward to separate the two.
The eldest aunt pushed away the second uncle who was hugging her and straightened her hair. "Bitch Su Mei, what do my father, mother, and brother's things have to do with you? How dare you hit me? Do you believe I will report it to the police?"
My aunt-in-law is not one to take a loss. Seeing that my aunt was not subdued by the beating, she rolled up her sleeves and retorted, "Okay, let's go. Let's go to the government office now. Let's see whether I should sentence you for theft first or me for assault."
While counting, my aunt pulled my aunt towards the door.
The eldest aunt didn't expect that her aunt's wife was so fierce. Everyone was just talking about it, but she really wanted to go to the county government office.
"Let me go! You bitch! I just took my mother's things. My mother has no objection, my brother has no objection, but you, an outsider, have an objection?"
"Huh? They don't mind? If they didn't mind, would they just watch me beat you?"
When the aunt said this, the uncle and the second uncle were very embarrassed.
They also felt that Gu Dongxue had gone too far and wanted to teach her a lesson.
“That’s enough!”
Grandma yelled loudly.
The two unwilling people finally stopped.
Grandma looked at Gu Dongxue, and the place in her heart that belonged to her was now filled with disappointment.
Grandma held the bamboo tightly in her hand and walked towards Gu Dongxue step by step.
"Dongxue, I remember that your mother never taught you to steal."
Gu Dongxue thought her mother was going to hit her. The memory etched deep in her bones made her body tremble reflexively. Her legs couldn't help but retreat.
But thinking about what she had seen and heard in the past two days, the resentment and jealousy in her heart took over again. "You don't love me, you only have your son in your heart. If I don't plan for myself, then I will only wait for death!"
"Look at you, you have so much money to repair your house, eat meat, and wash clothes. But you never thought of giving me even a little bit!"
"What's wrong with me taking a few eggs from you? What's wrong with me taking a few pieces of cloth from you? These are what I deserve!" There was indeed some acting in the beginning, but as she spoke, she really felt wronged.
Look at what a good life her mother's family has led, and what a hard life Gu Dongxue has led.
She felt resentful!
We are obviously our parents’ children, why do you treat us with such disdain?
