Chapter 208: Let Brother Liu help him put in a good word in front of Master Liu

Zhou Wu's mother didn't come empty-handed.

She was holding a basket full of eggs in her hands, her face smiling like a flower, and she was calling "Auntie Wei" affectionately.

Mrs. Wei was still a little puzzled. It wasn't a festival, and even Bang'er's full moon had passed a few days ago. Why did Zhou Wu's mother bring gifts when she came home?

"Why are you so polite?" Mrs. Wei asked in confusion, "Why do you bring things home?"

Zhou Wu Niang smiled at Mrs. Wei, took out two pieces of candy from her bosom, and stuffed one into each of the hands of Xing Xing and Ju Ge in the yard: "Eat it, eat it."

Xing Xing and Ju Ge'er were stunned for a moment, hesitating whether to accept it or not.

Zhou Wu's mother pretended to be unhappy: "Why, are you so distant with my aunt?"

Xing Xing and Ju Ge'er then took it and said in unison, "Thank you, Auntie."

But Ju Ge'er didn't eat it either. He had just eaten two pieces of pine nut candy from Xing Xing, which was enough. If he ate more candy, his mother would punish him again.

For the sake of your own butt, you'd better put the candy aside for now.

Xingxing is the same. Although she likes to eat candy very much, she usually stocks it carefully so that she can have it whenever she wants.

This time Mrs. Wei was really a little shocked.

You know, Zhou Wu's mother's family tightened their belts to send their son Wang Qian'an to the county town to study. Zhou Wu's mother even found a lot of embroidery work to supplement the family income.

This time he took eggs and candy.

I guess something big happened.

"What's going on?" asked Mrs. Wei.

Zhou Wu's mother smiled and said, "Auntie, shall we go inside and talk?"

Mrs. Wei did not hesitate and said yes, then took Zhou Wu's mother into the house.

After entering the house, Zhou Wuniang put the basket of eggs on the table, pushed them towards Wei Pozi, and said with a smile: "These are all the eggs I collected on weekdays. They can be used to nourish Xiaofeng and make some egg custard for Bangge'er later."

Mrs. Wei couldn't accept it, so she declined, "...your son Qian'an is at a critical stage of growth, so you should give this to him."

Speaking of Wang Qianan, Zhou Wu's mother's eyes turned red.

"Auntie, I'm telling you the truth. I came to see you today because I have something to ask of you." Zhou Wu's mother's eyes were red. "You have to help me."

Mrs. Wei was startled: "What happened? What happened to Qian'an?"

Zhou Wu's mother bit her lower lip and said, "...Auntie, you know that our Qian'an has been praised by teachers since he started school. He is a good student."

Mrs. Wei didn't know why Zhou Wu's mother suddenly started praising her son again.

She thought to herself that it was because her Liu Ge'er didn't go at that time. After her Liu Ge'er entered school, the person the teacher praised every time became her Liu Ge'er.

But Zhou Wu's mother seemed to be a little strange at this moment, and Mrs. Wei was not the kind of person who would deliberately say something to hurt others.

She nodded and agreed, "Yes, Qian'an has always been good at studying. So what happened?"

Mrs. Wei asked with some concern.

Zhou Wu's mother bit her lower lip and looked at the person in great pain: "...Auntie, the people in the residence of Master Liu sent invitations to many students, but our Qian'an was not invited at that time. Our Qian'an was also a little uncomfortable when he came back. Auntie, I really envy you. All four grandsons have invitations. Liu Ge'er is fine, he has always been good at studying. Gui Ge'er is so young, he just started elementary school, and Huai Ge'er has only been in school for half a day, but they all got invitations."

"Why don't you send an invitation to my Qian'an family?"

"This..." Mrs. Wei didn't know how to respond.

Her four grandsons all received invitations, but it was easy to imagine that they probably got some help from Xing Xing or that girl A Wu.

But it was useless to say this to Zhou Wu's mother. I guess her complaints were not for the purpose of listening to her explanation.

And Mrs. Wei was also somewhat unhappy.

If your grandson gets the invitation, no matter how he gets it, it is your grandson's opportunity.

Your Wang Qianan has no chance, so can we blame her grandson for having chance?

"Auntie, I heard that Master Liu took a liking to Liu Ge'er at that banquet and asked Liu Ge'er to study with him in the future, is that true?" Zhou Wu's mother asked, her breathing slightly rapid.

Mrs. Wei looked at Zhou Wu's red eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...Yes."

Zhou Wuniang looked as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She pressed the left side of her chest near her heart and said bitterly, "My Qian'an has always been outstanding. If he could go to that banquet this time, he would definitely be favored by Master Liu..."

Mrs. Wei finally understood.

Zhou Wu Niang is getting too picky.

She felt that her son did not get the opportunity to study with Master Liu because the four grandsons of the Yu family took up four invitations!

Mrs. Wei was a little unhappy when she heard Zhou Wu's mother complaining.

Now that I understood the hidden meaning behind Zhou Wu's mother's words, I became even more unhappy.

"Wu Niang, what you said..."

Mrs. Wei had just opened her mouth, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Zhou Wu's mother.

"Auntie, what our Qian'an lacks is just an opportunity." Zhou Wu Niang looked at Grandma Wei anxiously, "...I have never asked you for anything, but now it is for Qian'an. I beg you to tell Brother Liu to recommend our Qian'an to Master Liu!"

"Our Qian'an is very talented. If Master Liu sees him, he will definitely accept him as his disciple!"

Zhou Wu's mother took a step forward enthusiastically and grabbed Mrs. Wei's hand.

"...Wouldn't it be great if Qian An and Brother Liu could study together under Master Liu?"

Mrs. Wei never expected that Zhou Wu's mother, who had complained about those things before, was waiting here!

Mrs. Wei had a headache.

She felt a little regretful.

You shouldn't show off everywhere that your grandson is studying with Mr. Liu.

When someone asked her about the Yu family's business, Mrs. Wei replied, "Hey, how did you know that my Liu Ge'er was going to study with the great scholar?"

Others were talking about their crops, and Mrs. Wei passed by and asked, "Hey, how did you know that my son Liu was going to study with the great scholar?"

...Mrs. Wei is regretting now.

"Wu Niang, you..." Mrs. Wei had a headache and refused, "How could my brother Liu be so capable as to recommend someone to the great scholar Liu?"

Besides, what if Mr. Liu thinks that his son Liu is not studying hard and is too thoughtful? What should she do then?

Mrs. Wei said that she couldn't agree to anything!

Zhou Wu's mother begged desperately: "Auntie, Qian An was raised by you, so just ask Brother Liu to say something good for him in front of Master Liu. Just say something good, it won't cause any trouble."

Mrs. Wei didn't know how to persuade her.

But she knew one thing very well, that is, she must not hold her grandson back!

"Wu Niang, this is really not okay—" Mrs. Wei pushed the basket of eggs toward Zhou Wu Niang again, "You can take the eggs."
