Chapter 275 Home Visit 3
Zhang Dapiao's house was not far from Li Sandan's house. In about half an hour, Gu Jiayue and the others arrived at his house.
The Dapiao family has not yet split up, and the whole family lives together.
Not only Da Liao was studying in school alone, but his sisters and cousins were also there.
Similarly, Gu Jiayue was warmly welcomed as soon as she entered the door.
"Second brother, go and boil some hot water for Jiayue and add some sugar." Adding sugar to water is the highest etiquette for entertaining guests in the village.
"Grandma Zhang, there's no need to bother. Are the children home? I'm here to check on their homework."
Grandma Zhang kindly took Gu Jiayue's hand and asked them to sit down.
There was a fire burning in the house, and it felt warm on people.
"Yes, I heard you were checking the homework. The children have all gone home and are waiting."
As he spoke, the children came over with their homework.
Hua Chao and Gu Jiayue divided the inspection work.
Da Liao stood at the back with his homework in his hand. He became even more nervous when he saw his cousins answering Gu Jiayue's questions fluently.
"Is Gu Yuhe's idea feasible?"
Unfortunately, Gu Yuhe was not there and no one answered him.
"Okay, you did a good job on your homework, but there are three mistakes. Remember to correct them. Next one."
The next one is Zhang Dapiao.
Gu Jiayue was a little suspicious. There was a fire in the room, but it wasn't very hot. Why was the child's head covered in sweat? "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
“No…no.”
"Okay, let me see the homework. Is there anything I don't understand?"
After Gua Jiayue finished speaking, she saw that Zhang Dapiao did not move for a long time.
"Huh? What? Didn't you write it?"
Zhang Dapiao lowered his head, feeling that everyone in the room was looking at him. He felt like he was about to be burned.
But she still did it. "I wrote it."
"Just show it once you've written it. Don't worry, as long as you write it carefully, it doesn't matter if there are mistakes." Who is Gu Jiayue? She's a veteran teacher with over ten years of teaching experience.
She could tell what the children had eaten today just by looking at their farts. Zhang Dapiao looked like he was lying.
But she didn't expose him right away.
Zhang Dapiao hesitated for a while, but finally handed over the homework in his hand.
Gu Jiayue took the homework, but didn't open it immediately. Instead, she asked again, "Is this your homework?"
Zhang Dapiao didn't dare to look up. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered, "Yes."
Gu Jiayue's face turned serious. She had already given this child a chance, but she still showed no sign of repentance.
She wanted to see how she could fool her.
Gu Jiayue opened the textbook and saw familiar handwriting.
How could she not be familiar with it? She had just flipped through it an hour ago.
Great, great, they actually borrowed each other’s homework in an attempt to get away with it.
Gu Jiayue no longer had the intention to check, but instead looked around at the Zhang family members around her. Finally, her gaze settled on Grandma Zhang. "Grandma, I have something I want to discuss with Da Liao and her parents. Do you have any empty rooms?"
Grandma Zhang is old and shrewd. She already knew what happened just after a few words of conversation.
My little grandson is trying to be clever.
"No need to go to such trouble. It's almost noon. Let's go to the kitchen to get busy. You can stay for dinner later." After saying that, he asked everyone else to leave the room.
Soon, only Gu Jiayue, Hua Chao, Zhang Dapiao and his parents were left in the room.
"Jiayue, what happened? Did this kid do something wrong?" Da Liao Niang was a little anxious.
She had a good relationship with Sandan's mother, and they often went up the mountain together to dig wild vegetables, mend things, etc. So she knew that Sandan studied very hard and seriously.
But this debt collector from my family is still the same person he was before school. He's even more mischievous. He once brought a snake to school and nearly frightened Master Du to death.
They beat and scolded the child, but the child just didn't like to study and there was nothing they could do.
Especially during the holidays, Sandan studied at home every day. This unfortunate child was not afraid of the cold and ran around the village all day even when it was snowing heavily.
Gu Jiayue didn't answer directly, but looked at Zhang Dapiao. "Raise your head!"
Zhang Dapiao shook his body and raised his head reluctantly.
His eyes met Gu Jiayue's, a pair of dark eyes embedded in that rosy face. But these eyes were frighteningly calm, as if they were carrying the scrutiny of a god, making people unconsciously express their truest thoughts.
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth, did you do this homework by yourself?"
Zhang Dapiao's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Say something!" His mother's crying voice came from the side.
He lowered his head in shame again. "I'm sorry, Master, this assignment is not mine."
His words finally broke Da Liao Niang's fantasy.
Not only did his children refuse to study, they also lied and tried to deceive the teacher.
"How could you do this!" Da Liao's mother cried and slapped Da Liao's butt again and again.
The banging sound showed that she used a lot of strength.
"I was wrong." Zhang Dapiao lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice.
Gu Jiayue didn't let it go. "Whose idea was it?"
Through observation, Gu Jiayue discovered that Zhang Dapiao was definitely not the only one involved. In addition to Li Sandan, who lent Zhang Dapiao his homework, there must be other people involved.
"It wasn't anyone else, it was just my own idea, and I was the one who forced Sandan to give me the homework."
He was not good at studying, but he was a very loyal child. He would never betray his good brother no matter what.
"You little bastard, I think you are just itching for trouble. I sent you to school to take the imperial examination, not to learn how to cheat!" The more Da Liao's father listened, the angrier he became, especially at this time. He was even more angry when he heard his child talking.
He stood up and looked around for a handy tool.
Finally, his eyes fell on the fire stick beside him.
The stick was as thick as a child's arm, long and straight, and was used to pull the fire.
Zhang Laoer picked up the fire poker and hit Zhang Dapiao with it.
With a bang, Zhang Dapiao was knocked to the ground.
Gu Jiayue quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Uncle Zhang, you can't hit children like that." She was not against corporal punishment.
Because in many cases, you can't convince children with reason, you just need to use some special means. So many times when Li and grandma beat Gu Yuhe, she would not stop them.
Because they have a plan in mind, and they use a very thin branch. Such a branch will only hurt people but will not hurt the lungs.
But the fire stick that Uncle Zhang used was too thick. If he were to hit Zhang Dapiao, he would definitely suffer internal injuries.
"Jiayue, don't stop me. I must teach this little bastard a lesson today."
Uncle Zhang's eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving with anger. "Do you know that the opportunity you have to study is something other children in the village can't even hope for."
"Have you forgotten the longing and envious looks your cousins gave you yesterday when you went to your grandmother's house with your mother? You easily got something that others could never get, but you don't cherish it."
"You're so good! Not only don't you study hard, you've even learned to cheat!" Uncle Zhang grew angrier and angrier as he spoke. He gripped the fire stick tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force, and his veins were visible. He felt like a taut stick, ready to break at any moment.
Zhang Dapiao's mother was also crying.
She didn't know why she was crying, she just felt sad because she couldn't see her child being a failure.
Zhang Dapiao knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Gu Jiayue sighed. "Alright, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang. Calm down for a moment. Leave the rest to me."
