"Gu Yuhe, were you a pig in your previous life?"
Gu Yuchuan's voice was filled with suppressed anger, his face was as cold as ice, and his eyes were fixed on Gu Yuhe, who was at a loss at the table.
In the entire Gu family, the only one who could make this "cold-faced devil" so angry that he could speak without thinking was his younger brother.
Gu Yuhe shrank his neck in fear, his shoulders slumped, and he quickly glanced around the room, trying to find someone to help him out.
But he knew in his heart that no one in the family dared to offend Gu Yuchuan when he was angry.
really!
Mrs. Li was the first to react. She quickly stepped forward to support Father Gu beside her. She forced a smile on her face and said in a deliberately cheerful tone, "Hey, Boss, it's getting late. Isn't it time for you to wash your feet? Come on, I'll get you some water."
Father Gu quickly nodded in agreement and stepped back. "Yes, yes, yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. It's time to wash your feet. Let's go back to the house first."
As the couple talked, they walked out the door as quickly as possible, fearing that they would be caught up in this "storm" if they were a step late.
Seeing this, the eldest aunt hurriedly tugged at the second aunt's arm, clutching a half-finished piece of fabric in her hand, and said in a hurried tone, "Second sister-in-law, come and help me take a look at the collar of the dress I made for my eldest grandson. Is it cut wrong? Let's go back to the house and talk about it."
Having said that, he also pulled his second aunt-in-law away quickly.
Gu Yuhe placed his last hope on his grandparents, his eyes full of pleading.
But instead of pleading for him, grandma bent down and picked up a stick from the corner.
It was a dried peach tree branch, straight, thin, long, and somewhat tough.
Grandma handed the branch to Gu Yuchuan, saying seriously, "Yuchuan, use this. It hurts but won't break bones. It's a good lesson for people!"
But remember, after you hit him, you can't hit grandma anymore.
Gu Yuhe looked at the peach branch handed to him, feeling aggrieved. He felt that his original family was too "indifferent"!
He wailed in his heart: I really want to escape from here! Days like this are really going to make people collapse!
Gu Yuchuan took the peach branch and flicked his wrist lightly.
The branches passed through the air, making a rustling sound, which was quite intimidating.
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you still can't solve this problem, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed the branch on the table in front of Gu Yuhe. With a crisp "pa" sound, Gu Yuhe was frightened and trembled all over. His shoulders trembled three times and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
Woo woo woo... Why doesn't anyone save him?
Unlike the chaotic scene here, the other corner of the study is quiet and peaceful.
Zhang Chuyan folded up his completed homework, placing it neatly in a pile. Then he stood up, walked over to Gu Yuchuan, and said respectfully, "Teacher, I have finished the homework you assigned."
Gu Yuchuan walked over, picked up Zhang Chuyan's homework, lowered his head and began to correct it carefully.
His frown gradually relaxed.
Zhang Chuyan's handwriting was neat and his answers were clear and organized, which made him less worried.
While Gu Yuchuan was correcting homework, Zhang Chuyan quietly took a few steps back, slowly moved to Gu Yuhe's side, quickly took out a small ball of paper from his sleeve, threw it on Gu Yuhe's desk, and then retreated as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yuhe looked down and saw the small ball of paper, and his eyes lit up instantly.
He looked up at Zhang Chuyan, his eyes full of gratitude.
Good brother! This lifelong friendship is not in vain!
He quickly grasped the paper ball in his hand, secretly unfolded it, and quickly copied the answers into his homework book under the cover of the table.
After copying, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
Should I be able to sleep well tonight?
But before he could be happy for long, he looked up and met Gu Yuchuan's eyes.
The look in his eyes was frighteningly cold and filled with a strong sense of danger, as if he could see through him.
Looking next to him, he saw his "good brother" Zhang Chuyan kneeling on the ground obediently, with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.
Gu Yuhe's heart skipped a beat, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees with a plop, his voice filled with tears. "Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
Gu Yuchuan looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was cold: "Haha... The relationship between you two is so good that it makes me ashamed. If I didn't know, I would think you two were brothers."
His eyes fell on Zhang Chuyan, his voice filled with disappointment. "Zhang Chuyan, do you think you're helping him? You're actually harming him, do you know that?"
"Master, I was wrong." Zhang Chuyan lowered his head, his voice muffled.
He just felt that Gu Yuhe was too pitiful during this period.
He was forced by Gu Yuchuan to do exercises every day. Those exercises were really too difficult for Gu Yuhe. If he didn't help him, he wouldn't be able to finish them in one night, and he would definitely be punished the next day.
Anyway, Gu Yuhe had no intention of taking the imperial examination, so it was no big deal if he couldn't learn it, and it didn't matter if he was a little stupid.
He couldn't understand why the teachers had to force Gu Yuhe like this.
At worst, when I pass the imperial examination, I can just take better care of Gu Yuhe. They are good brothers who grew up together. How could I ignore him?
Gu Yuchuan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "You two, copy the 'Discipline for Children' fifty times and hand it in to me tomorrow morning."
"Fifty times?" Gu Yuhe's eyes widened instantly, and his voice changed. "Second brother, do you want me to die of exhaustion? I can't finish copying it in one night!"
"What? You don't want to?" Gu Yuchuan's eyes became even colder. "If you don't want to, then get out of my class. No one is begging you to stay."
"Get out!" Gu Yuhe also lost his temper and stood up suddenly, his eyes red. "Second sister clearly promised me that she wouldn't force me to study anymore! You don't keep your word, you adults are all liars!"
After yelling this, he turned around and wanted to run out the door, wanting to escape from this suffocating place.
But as soon as he ran to the door, he was stopped by a figure.
Gu Jiayue had been standing outside the door without knowing when, and had heard the whole argument inside.
"Why are you running?" Gu Jiayue reached out and grabbed Gu Yuhe's arm, saying sternly, "Thinking of running away when things get tough is not what a man should do."
Gu Yuhe turned his head, his eyes full of grievance and accusation, his voice filled with tears: "Liar! You are a liar!"
"What did I lie to you about?" Gu Jiayue frowned. "Didn't you say you wanted to study hard and take the imperial examination? When did I ever force you?"
"I..." Gu Yuhe was suddenly speechless.
It was indeed he who promised himself that he would study hard.
But he didn't expect that his second brother's teaching method was so different from his second sister's.
The second sister would tell jokes in class and use interesting examples to explain knowledge points, but the second brother would just stare at him while he did the questions, punishing him if he got a question wrong, and not giving him any chance to breathe.
He felt like he was about to be driven to death!
"Then can I not be in my second brother's class?" Gu Yuhe's voice softened, with a hint of pleading.
Before Gu Jiayue could open her mouth to persuade him, Gu Yuchuan's voice came from the room, still cold: "Let him go."
"Get out if you want!" Gu Yuhe's temper flared up again, and he shouted into the room, "Do you think I want to stay in your class? Do you know what your classmates call you? They call you 'the big devil'! No one in the class likes you, everyone is afraid of you!"
"I am their teacher, they should be afraid of me." Gu Yuchuan walked out of the house, his face still cold.
His teaching philosophy is different from Gu Jiayue's.
Gu Jiayue believes in combining education with entertainment, but he firmly believes that "strict teachers produce excellent students."
In his eyes, among all the students in Taohua Village, except Zhang Chuyan who had the talent and foundation for studying, the other students were not suitable for the imperial examination.
They have neither talent nor a good foundation. On this narrow road of imperial examinations where so many people compete for a single place, if they do not strictly demand themselves, they will eventually be eliminated.
In his previous life, he had no family to support him and no one he could trust, so he had a hard time in officialdom and ended up with a miserable end.
If he had a chance to live his life again, he would be willing to spend time teaching these "idiots". When they grow up, they will be his supporters and relatives he can trust.
Otherwise, with his personality, he would not do such a thankless task.
But in Gu Yuhe's view, Gu Yuchuan was the devil who tortured them deliberately.
"Do you know how many of your classmates have been shaking all over just by looking at you for the past month? They even cry when they go to sleep at night!"
"So what?" Gu Yuchuan refused to give in. "I told you at the beginning that those who can't accept my way of education can leave. It's your own choice to stay. Since you're here, you must obey my arrangements. If you can't meet my requirements, it's your own ability problem, don't blame others."
His gaze swept over Gu Yuhe, his tone filled with disappointment. "Zhang Chuyan's coursework is more than twice as much as yours, so how come he's able to finish it on time? And you? It's just basic homework, and you're already complaining about how tiring and difficult it is. With your attitude, even if you study for another hundred years, you won't pass the exam to become a Tongsheng."
"Yes, we are stupid, we are foolish, and we are not worthy of your teaching!" Gu Yuhe's voice was filled with tears. "You are so capable, you can teach Zhang Chuyan at home alone, why do you have to torture us in the school?"
Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Gu Jiayue quickly interrupted: "Okay, let's talk it out. Arguing like this won't solve the problem."
She turned to look at Gu Yuhe, her tone softening. "Yuhe, I know I promised you that as long as you finished this semester, I'd send you to Kangzi to study business. But you said you wanted to study hard for a while to see if you could keep up. So when you ranked 50th on the preparatory exam, qualifying you to stay in the imperial examination class, I didn't intend to kick you out."
She paused and said seriously, "Nowadays, if you feel that you really can't bear this intensity of study, you can choose to quit. No one will force you."
"Second sister..." Gu Yuhe's voice lowered.
After calming down, he also reflected.
I did promise to study hard at the beginning, but now I regret it. This is definitely not a gentlemanly act.
But the second brother's teaching method was so "abnormal" that even someone like him who thought he was mentally strong could hardly bear it, let alone other classmates.
Gu Jiayue also felt that Gu Yuchuan's teaching method might be a bit too harsh.
They are still children. If you are too strict, it may cause irreversible damage to their psychology.
It doesn’t mean that you have to follow her teaching method, nor does it mean that you can’t be strict with the children.
But Gu Jiayue thought, could you relax a little? Don't push so hard?
It seems necessary to have a good talk with him.
"Okay, you and Chu Yan go out first. I'll have a good talk with your second brother."
After calling the two children out, she was about to turn around to look at Gu Yuchuan when she noticed that Gu Yuchuan's expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly raised his head, his head tilted slightly, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth.
“Second brother!”
