The next morning
The pig keeper came with two puppies, and the originally agreed two or three days turned into five days.
The first thing the swineherd said when he saw Song Yuehua was to apologize, "Miss, I'm really sorry. It took the bitch two days to give birth. Look, it was just born last night, and I brought it to you early this morning."
I took the puppies and saw that they had nice fur and clear voices. One was pure black, and the other had black and yellow spotted fur. They looked healthy.
Song Yuehua looked up and asked, "How much silver are these two?"
The swineherd chuckled and said, "A puppy is not worth much. You have done such a big business for me, so I should give it to you as a gift."
After saying that, he rubbed his hands again and laughed dryly twice. Song Yuehua was not stupid either, so she asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The swineherd said embarrassedly, "I heard that your family opened a school before, but when I arrived in the village, I found out that it was you who opened it. I heard that your school's tuition is not high. I have a nephew who just turned 10. I wonder if he can enroll him?"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Whether to accept or not is not up to me. I have to let the teacher take a look. If you want to pay tuition, it's 2 taels of silver a year, and 1 tael a month for food and accommodation in the school. If you think it's too expensive, you can discuss with the villagers to rent a house. Books and writing brushes can be purchased in the school. The price is lower than in the bookstore. If there is no problem, you can bring them to the school tomorrow at noon."
The people in the village and Zhou Lizheng are guarding the gate, and the people from other villages can only be escorted by Master Yi.
"Okay!" said the swineherd happily.
How could he not be satisfied? The Bailu Academy cost more than ten taels of silver and he had already sent his own son there. If he dared to send his nephew there as well, his wife would definitely make trouble with him.
But if it were here, 2 taels of silver a year, and then finding a farmer to stay with, the total would only be a few taels of silver.
In this way, even that woman would have nothing to say, and I would have done my best to repay my deceased elder brother.
The swineherd was satisfied and asked again, "Excuse me, young lady, when did you go to find Guo Huaizhong?"
"Guo Huaizhong?" Song Yuehua was stunned for a moment before asking, "What did you tell him?"
The swineherd said, "Mr. Guo doesn't usually talk to people like us. It was when the old man was chatting that he mentioned it. As a result, the old man found me the next day and insisted that I was talking nonsense. That's why he asked you to come..."
The swineherd was halfway through his speech when he realized, "Miss, what trouble did I cause you?"
"well……"
Song Yuehua sighed and said, "It's not a big deal, but I wanted to find him before he found me."
"Then..." The swineherd then realized that he had been too talkative.
Song Yuehua said, "It's okay to tell you. It was the day when Third Master Yan kicked the door. I talked to him in the restaurant and he scolded me. Naturally, there was no follow-up."
"Ah!" The swineherd was shocked. What on earth was Guo Huaizhong doing?
Even after leaving the Song family, the swineherd was still apologizing for his talkativeness.
Song Yuehua said, "I didn't ask you to keep it a secret. It's not a big deal. Bring your nephew over tomorrow."
Only after making sure that Song Yuehua did not blame him did the swineherd leave with peace of mind.
Song Yuehua sent two dogs to Liu Xue, one to guard the yard and the other to guard the pig farm.
Liu Xue looked at the two puppies and said worriedly, "Will they eat the chickens?"
"That shouldn't be the case," Song Yuehua said worriedly.
Liu Xue said, "If it dares to eat the chickens, we will eat dog meat hotpot."
Song Yuehua: "..." How cruel.
The puppy whimpered, as if it understood what people were saying.
The next day at noon.
The swineherd came with a boy named Zhu Wenyan, who looked quiet at first glance.
Zhu Wenyan had never been to school, so Master Yi only asked him some common sense questions. After confirming that the child had no other problems, he placed him in Class D.
Zhu Guan also bought him a set of writing brushes and ink plus tuition fees, a total of four taels of silver.
With the introduction of Song Yuehua, the swineherd sent his man to stay at Granny Wang's house. After the two discussed, they agreed on 200 wen a month, or 2 taels of silver a year. The swineherd readily paid a year's worth of silver.
After signing the contract, the swineherd asked Zhu Wenyan, "Do you want to go home and rest for a few days before coming back?"
Zhu Wenyan shook his head and said, "It's not easy for my uncle to travel back and forth. Now that you have entered the school, you should not slack off. You can go back first."
The silver had been paid and should not be wasted, the swineherd thought, so he gave a few instructions before driving the ox cart away.
On the day Zhu Wenyan entered school, something happened in Class D.
The cause of the incident was still the matter that Su Yuanbao had provoked.
Now in the entire Class D, only Ren Xiaomei still shares a book with Zong Bai. During class, they naturally have to sit together. Zong Bai has been performing excellently recently. In comparison, Su Yuanbao was scolded by Master Xie.
He Lei had suffered at the hands of Zong Bai before, so Su Yuanbao didn't dare to provoke him. He could only run to Ren Xiaomei and said sarcastically, "You don't even have a book, what are you still studying for?"
Ren Xiaomei said seriously, "That's because my family has no money."
Su Yuanbao, "..."
"If you don't have money, don't study. Why do you come to school? It's embarrassing and conspicuous." Su Yuanbao said unhappily.
Ren Xiaomei said, "How about we sit in the back, so you can't see me and you won't feel embarrassed."
"You..." Su Yuanbao's face turned red with anger and he stood up suddenly.
Just then, someone behind me shouted, "What are you doing?"
Su Yuanbao turned around quickly, and the school bag at his side was thrown hard onto Ren Xiaomei's head. There happened to be an inkstone in the bag that he had taken home and washed, and Ren Xiaomei's forehead was hit and bleeding.
Hearing Ren Xiaomei's cry of pain, Su Yuanbao turned around. When he saw a stream of bright red blood flowing from Ren Xiaomei's face, he was stunned.
He just wanted to find something to do, he didn't intend to hurt anyone!
When Zong Bai came over, he saw the same scene. His eyes suddenly turned red. He knocked Su Yuanbao to the ground and pulled his hair like crazy.
The other people in the class were also attracted over. After seeing the situation clearly, Zhou Qi quickly took Ren Xiaomei to see Madam Xia to apply medicine.
It was the first time a fight in school involved bloodshed. Madam Xia was almost terrified and quickly applied medicine to Ren Xiaomei.
The white wine was applied to the wound, causing Ren Xiaomei to inhale in pain. Lady Xia said softly, "It will be a little painful, but bear with it for a while, okay?"
Ren Xiaomei smiled sweetly and said, "Master's wife, I'm not in pain."
"Oh..." Madam Xia sighed.
At the school, Su Yuanbao was still arguing with Zong Bai. Seeing this, Liu Shitou hurried to the backyard to call Xie Yu.
Zhu Qingqing and Ma Hu cheered for Zong Bai on the side.
After Xie Yu was called into the lecture hall, he heard Zhu Qingqing shouting, "Kick his balls! Kick harder!"
"Qingqing!" Xie Yu shouted.
When Zhu Qingqing saw Master Xie coming, she immediately got up from the table and looked very obedient.
Su Yuanbao and Zong Bai were still fighting on the ground. Xie Yu glanced at the students around him and shouted, "Separate them quickly!"
Everyone then stepped forward and pulled the two apart.
