Zhao Juhua withdrew her gaze and continued to look at her eldest grandson.
"Chengrong, I heard you were punished by the teacher yesterday?"
Mu Chengrong quickly stretched out his palm and pitifully cried out,
"Grandma, look, my hand is all swollen from the teacher's beating! It hurts so much!"
Mu Chengrong thought that given his grandmother's personality, seeing him injured would definitely make a scene and drag him to the teacher to settle scores, which would make the teacher less harsh next time he was beaten.
only…………
"Slap! Slap!"
Zhao Juhua raised her hand and slapped Mu Chengrong's swollen palm several times...
Mu Chengrong groaned in pain, tears streaming down his face.
Zhao Juhua showed no sign of softening upon seeing this; she looked earnestly at Mu Chengrong.
"Chengrong, your parents sent you to the private school so that you could learn."
Look at you, you've disobeyed and angered the teacher. Do you know how hard it is for your parents to send you to school? Your two older sisters work day and night doing needlework just to earn more money.
Instead of studying hard, you're just playing around.
You're the only boy in the family, so you have to study hard so that you can support your three older sisters when you have the opportunity in the future.
Besides, Grandma is waiting to become an old lady. If you don't study hard for the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official, how can I become an old lady?
"Get back to school right now! If you don't study properly next time, I'll beat you myself before the teacher even has a chance to punish you!"
With tears in his eyes, Mu Cheng walked towards the private school, feeling extremely aggrieved.
He suddenly realized that since his grandmother's personality changed, she no longer doted on him. Now he was the one who got scolded the most at home.
Ning Bao and his group were also stunned by Zhao Juhua's actions.
Looking at Zhao Juhua now, Ning Bao actually found her kind of cute.
She had even forgotten the older woman she used to argue and bicker with.
Zhao Juhua sighed as she watched her eldest grandson's departing figure. The reason she had changed her mind so quickly was entirely because she had been enlightened by a deity in her dream.
One night while fleeing famine, she dreamed about the future of the eldest branch of the Mu family, where her three granddaughters all had unhappy marriages because of her interference.
She spoiled her only grandson, who frequented brothels and gambling dens every day until he was beaten, had his leg broken, and was thrown back home. Her cruelty led to the destruction of her family.
The deity advised her that if she wanted to change the outcome, she should become more benevolent and be stricter with Mu Chengrong.
Zhao Juhua was a strong-willed person who longed to be a wealthy old lady, so she hoped her grandson would be successful.
I heard that Li Guizhi's four grandsons from the second wife's family are all doing well in their studies. They have been praised by their teacher every day for the past two months since the start of the school year, while her grandsons are often punished.
Today, she decided to steel herself and teach her eldest grandson a good lesson.
…………
Ning Bao and his group had just reached the entrance of the private school when they encountered Chen, a scholar who was walking towards them.
"Greetings, Master!"
The other children all politely bowed and greeted Chen, the scholar.
Ningbao looked at Chen Juren and thought of the promise she had made to Chen Juren's mother, Old Lady Chen:
Help Chen, the scholar, find a wife.
Yesterday, she was so excited about reuniting with her family that she forgot to ask about the progress of her grandmother Chen's marriage.
However, now that she had met the person in question, Ning Bao decided to cut to the chase. She stared directly at Chen Juren and asked him earnestly.
"Scholar...Master, have you found a wife yet?"
Scholar Chen: "…………"
This little girl is still the same after two months... Tiger.
Thinking of that girl, Chen Juren's face flushed slightly.
He calmed his breathing and composed himself before looking at Ning Bao.
"Mu Wanning, once you're in school, don't talk about things unrelated to studying..."
Ningbao, who had just stepped into the school gate, heard what Chen Juren said and immediately ran outside.
"Teacher, Ningbao is outside the school now. Can you tell me if you have a wife?"
Scholar Chen: "…………"
