Chapter 57: A Prophecy Comes True

After dinner, Shen Yuefu hurried back to her room.

She breathed a sigh of relief only after she was sure that there was nothing wrong with the rouge in the dustpan.

"Liu Chunhua came so late, she must have been here, but she didn't bring too little or too much, and there wasn't any other strange situation." Shen Yuefu thought that Liu Chunhua was in a hurry to eat, so she didn't have time to do anything.

She sat by the window, continuing to embroider a little skirt for Huanxue, while staring at the dustpan.

Liang Huanxue took the insect back into the space.

Liu Chunhua has been frightened and will probably never touch rouge again.

The next morning, Liang Huanxue followed Liang Yuanwen to the school.

There were still a few empty seats until class time.

If it were yesterday, Liang Yuanwen would have been rushing to every household looking for someone.

But today he was not in a hurry at all and started the class step by step.

About a cup of tea later, a few people came outside.

"Liang Yuanwen, do you really not want to take care of my child?"

"Yeah, my kid has been learning from you for a month, how could you do this?"

"The tuition is just a few dollars, can't you just not charge it? Isn't there a phrase called 'treat everyone equally'? Yes, yes, you should treat everyone equally, how can you be partial?"

Liang Yuanwen seemed not to hear what they said and continued with the class.

The kids stood outside, watching eagerly, wanting to go back to their seats and learn together.

But now, because their parents don't want to pay for their tuition, they may never be able to study there again.

"Yeah, the tuition is just a few dollars, and you still don't want to pay it." Liang Huanxue snorted.

"If you want to give, just give it all. Why should we give it when others don't?" The person who shouted the loudest said in a sarcastic tone.

"If your family is also so poor that you can barely make ends meet, you don't have to give it to me. You can send your child here when the time comes." Liang Huanxue replied unhappily.

"Let's go and never come back to this place again."

Several people left cursing, and after walking a few steps they looked back as if they were waiting for something.

But Liang Yuanwen did not stop them like he did yesterday, but continued with the class.

"Fortunately, there are only a few of them like this, and the rest of the parents are sensible. Otherwise, this school would not be able to run. I wonder who the other people they are talking about are? Is there anyone else in this village who can teach?" Liang Yuanwen expressed his doubts.

Liang Huanxue smiled and said, "Yes, Second Uncle, have you forgotten that someone wanted to take away this business before?"

After being reminded by her, Liang Yuanwen remembered that Liu Chunhua and Liu Erzhuang had deliberately come here to cause trouble in order to steal the business of this school.

"Can he waive the tuition?" Liang Yuanwen felt that he was ready to wait for a joke.

Whether Liu Erzhuang can teach is another matter, but with his attitude, he will definitely charge a lot of money.

"I'm afraid they will just collect more and charge money under various names." Liang Huanxue said with a smile.

Liu Erzhuang can't teach, but when it comes to making money, he is just as good as his sister.

A few days later, Liang Huanxue heard that Liu Erzhuang had opened a school. He built a simple shed where he worked and put more than ten tables and chairs in it. The business was thus opened.

I heard that he didn't charge tuition, which really attracted quite a few students.

The drafty and leaky shed was packed with people.

He bought a lot of textbooks and a set of clothes for each student, saying that this is how students in the academy in the county dress, and it looks neat and good.

After the books were flipped through and the clothes were put on, he mentioned the matter of collecting the money.

"I heard that he has to pay two cents per person, and he can learn for a long time here." Liang Yuanwen did not expect that he would see this joke a few days later.

"He had the nerve to ask for two more cents for those tattered books and clothes, which cost him fifty cents. But the book has been read and the clothes have been worn, and they can't be returned. What else can I do? I have no choice but to give them to him."

Liang Huanxue had not expected that Liu Erzhuang was so impatient and had no idea of ​​playing the long game to catch the big fish. He just wanted quick money and exposed his purpose so quickly.

Those people who had previously caused trouble in the school and complained that Liang Yuanwen did not treat them equally were now as angry as eggplants hit by frost, wishing they could be slapped in the face.

Two dollars is enough to pay for half a year's tuition here.

I had only been studying there for two days, but I was asked to do so much.

Anyone with eyes can see that the books and clothes are not worth that much.

But no one asked them to be at fault, so they had no choice but to give the money obediently.

Liang Huanxue was not surprised at all when she saw them at the college gate.

Only after they suffered losses at the hands of Liu Erzhuang could they understand how good their second uncle really was.

"We are really in dire straits at home now. Can...can we come back to study?"

Liang Huanxue couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this.

Well, her words came true.

Liang Yuanwen was originally a soft-hearted person. Seeing that they had suffered a great loss at the hands of Liu Erzhuang and now really wanted to send the child back, he nodded.

"Second uncle, why don't you keep them in suspense? Why did you agree to do something so quickly?" Liang Huanxue pouted in displeasure.

You can't be too soft-hearted when dealing with such people, otherwise they will really think you are easy to bully.

"Huanxue, you should be merciful when you can. I think you've heard this before. They've already learned a lesson from Liu Erzhuang, and I don't want to see them fall behind in their studies."

As a teacher, Liang Yuanwen naturally cares most about his students' academic performance.

They were delayed for a few days and fell behind a lot.

We have to get it back as soon as possible.

"Second uncle, if something like this happens again in the future, we can't get used to them." Liang Huanxue was afraid that her second uncle would be bullied again.

"Okay, I'm not used to it." Liang Yuanwen smiled and shook his head.

Who would have thought that in the end he would waive tuition fees for those people?

It's just in this way.

Liu Erzhuang's reputation in the village was not very good to begin with, and after this incident, it became even worse.

But he didn't seem to care. After all, he made a lot of money this time, and nothing mattered to him more than that.

Counting the days, in three days, it will be Fu Shushu's wedding day.

Even her eccentric brother returned home when he heard the news that she was going to marry into the Zhang family.

Of course, he came back for only one reason, which was to get the fifty taels of silver that the Zhang family sent as a betrothal gift.

He still felt that the silver was not enough, and he also took a fancy to the jewelry sent by the Zhang family.

Liang Huanxue had not expected that the Zhang family was so wealthy that they sent her two pairs of gold bracelets, pearl earrings, silver hairpins, etc., filling up an entire box.

Fu Jixiang took advantage of the family's inattention and pawned everything in the box for a large sum of silver. He then bought a bunch of fake goods and put them in the box.
