Zhang Shumo didn't expect Wang Hu to have this attitude, so he said: "You said that you can't do it first, we helped you, what are you angry about?" ”

Wang Hu ignored the two, got up alone and walked towards home without patting the dust on his body.

Lou Zaiying looked at Wang Hu's back and couldn't help but shake his head: "You said how courageous this kid is, in order to protect the image of his father, one person dares to face so many people." ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "I don't think so, on the contrary, I don't think this kid thinks about his father at all." He told others that his father would fight a knife, not to maintain his father's image, but to satisfy his vanity. He fights with others because others call him a liar. In order to prove that his words were right, he did not hesitate to use self-harm to beg his father to fight the knife, but it was illegal to fight the knife, if he really cared about his father, how could he beg his father to do something illegal? It can be seen that this child is not only vain, but also a little selfish, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends! ”

Lou Zaiying pursed her lips: "Could it be that you are thinking too much?" ”

While the two were talking, a woman suddenly walked up to the two of them and asked involuntarily, "May I ask if the two of you were talking about Wang Hu just now?" ”

Zhang Shumo glanced at the woman: "May I ask who you are?" ”

"I'm a tiger mother!" After speaking, the woman looked at Wang Hu's back: "I heard what you said just now, Huzi does have a lot of problems, and my father and I both know it, but we can't control him." ”

Lou Zaiying hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, how can there be nothing wrong with children, Huzi is still young, it will be good when he grows up." ”

The woman sighed: "Alas, it's still that my father and I don't have the ability to send Huzi to study in the academy." There is a fortune teller who once counted for Huzi, saying that if Huzi is taught, he will become an adult in the future, and if no one teaches, Huzi will become a big devil who will harm one party in the future. We worked with his father every day and night to save money to send Huzi to study. ”

Zhang Shumo couldn't help but ask, "Does it cost a lot of money to study here?" In Thanh Hoa City, it is only a dozen taels of silver a year. ”

The woman smiled helplessly: "Our small family can't earn a few dollars a year, except for food and drink, it's good to have a few taels of silver left." ”

After hearing this, Lou Zaiying was moved by compassion: "That's it, eldest sister, my father-in-law was a teacher in Qinghua City before, if you don't dislike it, let Huzi study with my father-in-law, right?" We are all neighbors, so we don't need money, if we lack any iron tools at home, just let Brother Wang call us. ”

When the woman heard this, she looked at the two with wide eyes, and said incoherently excitedly: "Two, this ......"

Zhang Shumo smiled at her: "Eldest sister, don't be too happy, although I used to be a teacher, but I only taught people to read, whether he can make Huzi become a dragon and phoenix among people depends on himself." ”

The woman nodded heavily: "I understand, I understand!" Speaking of this, the woman grabbed the two of them: "Let's go, the two of you go to my house, and I will let Huzi worship you as a teacher!" ”

The two were dragged by the woman to the blacksmith shop, and before they could enter, they heard Wang Hu crying to the blacksmith.

"Dad, you can give me a knife, with a knife, see who of them dares to bully me!"

The woman smiled awkwardly, and then the three of them entered the shop together: "Huzi, don't pretend, my mother saw it at the corner of the street just now, this young lady and the son obviously drove away those boys, why do you still blame your father?" ”

As soon as Wang Hu saw Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying, he immediately showed resentful eyes, stood aside and stopped talking.

When the blacksmith saw the two, he immediately got up and thanked him, and the woman happily took the blacksmith's hand and said, "This son has been a teacher before, and just now on the road, the son and the young lady have agreed to accept Huzi as an apprentice, and they will not take money." ”

"Huh?" The blacksmith was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly bowed deeply to the two: "I will thank the two for Huzi for their great kindness, but if you don't collect money, you can't do it, how can we let Gongzi teach Huzi to read for nothing." ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "Big brother, don't get me wrong, although we don't charge money, we want other rewards." We had just moved in and we were short of iron, so we ......"

"Don't worry, Childe, I've got all the ironware for your family!" Without waiting for Zhang Shumo to finish speaking, the blacksmith rushed to say it.

After speaking, the blacksmith said to his wife: "Min Niang, prepare tea quickly, let's let Huzi kowtow to Mr." ”

"Don't bother!" Zhang Shumo stopped Min Niang, and said to the blacksmith: "Big brother doesn't need to be polite, let's not go through such a complicated process, just let Huzi go to my place to study every night." ”

"Okay, everything is up to Childe. By the way, Childe, what iron tools are you lacking now? The blacksmith said happily.

Zhang Shumo thought for a while and said, "Big brother can fight daggers?" I'm new to the city and want to defend myself with a dagger. ”

The blacksmith was embarrassed when he heard this, and Min Niang hurriedly pulled him: "Wang Tu, Huzi finally has a chance to study, you can't miss it!" ”

"Good!" The blacksmith finally made up his mind: "I will be able to make it in a few days, and then I will send it to Yu Gongzi." ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "It's okay, there's no hurry." Now that the matter has been decided, let's let Wang Hu read with me from today onwards. ”

As soon as Wang Hu heard this, he turned around and was about to run, but Min Niang was quick and grabbed him: "Huzi, from today onwards, you will follow Gongzi to study, if you let me know that you are naughty at Gongzi's house, I will break your legs!" ”

In this way, Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying took Wang Hu back to the courtyard. Lou Zaiying asked puzzledly: "What dagger do you want to defend yourself?" You won't be able to use a dagger, huh? ”

"If you don't take money and don't let him fight, he will feel guilty, and if I ask for a dagger, he will be at ease. And I'm really useful for this dagger. ”

After Zhang Shumo finished speaking, he looked at Wang Hu: "I know you don't want to study with me, it's okay, I don't expect you to study well, but as long as you are willing to listen to me, I can give you the dagger that your father beats." ”

Wang Hu's eyes lit up: "Is this true?" ”

"It's true! But I have a request, you can't let outsiders know that I gave you the dagger, and no one can know, or I'll take it back. ”

"Huh?" Wang Hu's eyebrows were wrinkled together: "If you don't let others know, won't that prove that my father can fight a knife?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "You asked your father to fight the knife, is it to ask for a knife or to let others know?" In other words, what is the purpose of asking your father to fight the knife? ”

Wang Hu thought for a while: "Naturally, it proves that my father can fight a knife, and others laugh at me for lying, but my father really knows how to fight a knife!" ”

"Your dad knows how to fight knives, and you already know that you still need proof? You're just trying to prove in front of others that you're not lying, but do you know that it's illegal to fight a knife, and if you want to prove yourself, don't you even care about your father's safety? ”
