Chapter 225: Enlightenment
Liang Huanxue: "..."
No, why can't you tolerate oil and salt?
Fortunately, there is still someone who is developing in the direction Liang Huanxue wants.
"Nonsense, they are still children now, this can be treated as a joke, but what if the children grow up? What will people say about Xiaoxue if this gets out?"
Zhao Dachong said sternly to Liang Huanxue: "Don't listen to your Uncle Zhao's nonsense. Our Xiaoxue is right. Our Xiaoxue not only knows how to spend money, but also how to make money."
Liang Huanxue's eyes were full of stars: "Will Uncle Zhao help me?"
Of course Zhao Da would: "Uncle will certainly help you. Whenever you need uncle, just come here to find uncle!"
Zhao Er also expressed his opinion: "I will also help our Xiaoxue make money."
Ok, done!
Liang Huanxue was happy again and said sweetly, "Then uncle, let's go eat."
To express her gratitude, Liang Huanxue specially picked up a lot of dishes for the two of them.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Da and Zhao Er wanted to send the two people home, but they sternly refused.
Just kidding, if you get sent back, you'll be exposed.
Liang Jihai said in a serious tone: "My uncle is waiting for us nearby. Let's go over there first. Thank you uncles for your hospitality."
Fearing that the two would go back on their word, Liang Jihai hugged Liang Huanxue and ran away.
Halfway through the run, Liang Jihai suddenly stopped and trembled, "It's over."
Liang Huanxue looked up: "What's the end?"
Liang Jihai did not reply, but just kept repeating the three words "It's over". Especially when they were almost home, Liang Jihai's reaction was unprecedentedly strong, even a little resistant.
"Little sister, our home is just ahead. Why don't you go back by yourself? I'll go back to the academy first."
Liang Huanxue then remembered that today was indeed not a day to rest, so Liang Jihai was...
"You skipped class and I caught you." Liang Huanxue gave a devilish smile.
Liang Jihai said awkwardly: "I didn't, it was the teacher who asked me to come back, I..."
"Then do you dare to go back with me to see my father?" Liang Huanxue put her hands on her hips and laughed even louder.
You were so arrogant just now, but now things have changed.
Liang Jihai wanted to refuse, but Liang Huanxue didn't give him a chance and grabbed him and ran home.
Seeing the two children, Liang Yuanwang breathed a sigh of relief and picked up Liang Huanxue: "My dear girl, where have you been? I just found you two days ago, and your mother and I were so scared."
Liang Huanxue pointed at Liang Jihai and said, "It was my brother who took me out to play."
Liang Jihai's face darkened, but he still pretended to be calm and explained: "I saw that my sister was bored, so I took her out to play for a while."
Liang Yuanwang sneered.
Liang Jihai shuddered.
Liang Huanxue glanced at her father in confusion, thinking.
"That shouldn't be the case. If it was just about taking me out to play, Dad shouldn't have reacted like this."
Liang Yuanwang sneered again. Of course it’s not just this problem!
With the intention of eating melons, Liang Huanxue quickly reached out and grabbed her old father's neck.
It just so happened that Liang Huanxue had been running out every other day recently. Some time ago, Liang Yuanwang talked to her about going to school, but she didn't take it seriously. Liang Yuanwang decided to teach Liang Huanxue a lesson as well!
Liang Yuanwang said nothing, forcefully pried Liang Yuanwang's hands apart, put her on the ground, and said coldly: "Stand with your brother."
Liang Jihai was gloating over the misfortune. When he looked up, he met Liang Yuanwang's unfriendly gaze. He quickly stopped smiling and didn't dare to say a word.
Liang Huanxue felt something was wrong and walked obediently to Liang Jihai's side.
"You little brat, you've even learned to skip school." Liang Yuanwang rushed over as the two of them just stood still.
Liang Jihai closed his eyes, but before Liang Yuanwang could slap him, he secretly opened one eye and saw that Liang Yuanwang was aggressive but had no intention of attacking him.
Liang Yuan looked coldly: "I'll give you a chance to explain!"
Liang Jihai hesitated and finally said, "I can't tell you, but, uncle, can you give me three days? Give me three days, and I promise that I will study hard in three days and pass the imperial examination for you when I grow up."
Liang Yuanwang frowned and said nothing.
Liang Jihai knelt down with a "thump" and said, "Uncle, I promise, I am telling the truth. Three days, just three days. After three days, I will study seriously and will definitely not fish for three days and dry the nets for two days."
Liang Jihai's academic performance was not outstanding and he was usually unknown in the academy. When the teacher mentioned him, he didn't even know if he was his student.
He didn't like studying and every time he came home, he would complain about the academy's shortcomings.
Liang Yuanwang had never scolded Liang Jihai for academic matters, but this time, he actually skipped school for several days. The academy gave Liang Jihai a chance to come back and discuss with Liang Yuanwang, but as soon as he came back, he took Liang Huanxue to find Zhao Da, Zhao Er and others, and completely forgot about the business.
Now that he has been caught red-handed by Liang Yuanwang, it would be strange if he is not scolded.
Liang Huanxue felt guilty and took a step forward.
Liang Yuan looked at the girl who didn't understand him, frowned and said, "Shut up first, I'll talk to you later."
Liang Huanxue retreated silently again.
Seeing that Liang Yuanwang did not respond to him, Liang Jihai continued, "Uncle, please give me a chance, three days, just three days, no, two days, two days will do."
Shen Yuefu was moved by Liang Jihai's eagerness.
She tugged at her husband's sleeve and said, "Why don't we give the child a chance?"
Liang Yuanwang looked gloomy.
Liang Jihai looked at Liang Yuanwang hopefully for a long time, and Liang Yuanwang nodded: "Okay, I'll give you three days. I'll ask for your leave. After three days, you will go back to the academy. When you grow up, you can come back and pass the imperial examination for me."
Liang Jihai finally laughed, but Liang Huanxue couldn't laugh because her father was targeting her.
"And you, your brother doesn't know, but you yourself don't know either? What happened to you a few days ago? Do you want to make your mother worry again? Also, why haven't you responded to the enlightenment I told you about before?"
If it was any other three-year-old child, Liang Yuanwang would definitely not say such words. Even if he did, it would be half-coaxing. However, Liang Huanxuechong has been an extraordinary person since she was young. Most of the time, her family did not treat her as a three-year-old child.
"Ah?" Liang Huanxue raised her head and said hesitantly, "Dad, first of all, I followed my brother out, so I'm not disobedient. Second, didn't you say you were responsible for my enlightenment and asked me to prepare for school?"
Liang Yuanwang's mind went blank for a moment, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Is... is this true?"
Liang Huanxue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Dad, I told you at that time, and you turned around and said you were responsible."
Liang Yuanwang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. It was just that something suddenly happened in the village at that time, so he left after saying it, and then he forgot about it because of being busy.
Liang Yuanwang waved his hands awkwardly: "Then it's all right."
Shen Yuefu said with a smile: "You are making a joke in front of the child, right?"
Liang Yuanwang felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject: "You take the children in, I'll go ask about the good girl."
There were not many girls going to school, but their family was not poor nowadays. Shen Yuefu could earn some money from embroidery, Liang Yuanwang had a salary, and the academies that the brat had attended were all run by the city lord, so they received subsidies every month. So it was not difficult to send another Liang Huanxue to learn to read and write.
