Li Mumu pulled Gu Baiyuan, turned around and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, we don't know about that Xiucai, but we know Bai Yuan very well." can't because of that Xiucai's words, he wronged Bai Yuan and broke the child's heart. ”

Wang Cuizhen regretted it just after scolding, but what should I do?

She is such a temper tantrum, now looking at Gu Baiyuan's crying little flower face, with a aggrieved look, her eyes are red, but her gaze is a little stubborn.

On the steps given by Li Mumu, he said in a rough voice: "I'll listen to what he says!" ”

The original book doesn't say much about the Gu family's affairs, let alone these trivial things in life.

What happened to Gu Baiyuan, Li Mumu really didn't understand.

Entering the house and letting Gu Baiyuan sit down, Li Mumu poured him a bowl of water, "Come, drink some water first." ”

Gu Baiyuan's little hand had just held the bowl, and suddenly he gasped with a "hiss", and as soon as his little hand was released, he fell on the table with the bowl and water, spilling the water on the table.

Wang Cuizhen suddenly became angry, "Why don't you even ...... bowls?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Li Mumu hurriedly pulled Gu Baiyuan's hand and opened his palm, and saw that the palm was red to purple with marks, and even blood marks under the skin.

Wang Cuizhen's unfinished words retracted back into her throat, and she exclaimed in distress: "What's the matter with your hand?" ”

Followed by Li Mumu said: "You just said, Mr. beat you?" ”

Gu Baiyuan was crying and hiccuping, poured a bowl of water before pressing it down slightly, and said while wiping his tears: "There are some things that Mr. said I don't understand, so I asked Mr., and Mr. asked me too much, so Mr. thought I talked too much, so I only let me memorize it, and I will understand it later." But I didn't understand the meaning, so I couldn't carry it, and my back stumbled, and my husband said that I was not the material for reading, and that I was an elm head. Saying that I was stupid and didn't know how to work hard, he hit me with a rattan in the palm of my hand. ”

"When I was in class today, I asked us about our knowledge of scriptures and righteousness, but even if I memorized some of them, I didn't understand the meaning. Now let me answer, I can't answer. Gu Baiyuan sniffed, "I can't answer, others will laugh at me, and Mr. said that I don't have the talent to read." ”

"There are some questions that my husband said that I don't think is reasonable, so I asked him, and he said that I was deliberately making trouble in class." Gu Baiyuan trembled and trembled when he cried, and his little hand with pain in his palm also shrank and shrank, "Just hit my palm with a rattan again." ”

"The gentleman also said, let me not go, and make room for other gifted people to study. Even if I study, I can't get ahead, so I might as well come back and grow crops honestly. The life of being born to grow crops will not change. ”

Li Mumu stood up, trembling with anger, and said to Wang Cuizhen: "That Xiucai is a teacher in vain!" Not to mention whether Bai Yuan is really as he said, not the material for reading. He beat Bai Yuan like this, and his hand was broken, how will he hold the pen in the future? He clearly wants to destroy Bai Yuan! ”

Wang Cuizhen finally reacted after Li Mumu said this, her eyes were red with anger, she picked up the broom and rushed out, "the old horseman, he is going to destroy our Bai Yuan, I will fight with him!" ”

"What's going on?" The eldest Gu Shangyong and the second Gu Shangwei brothers came back from working in the field with Gu's father, and happened to bump into Wang Cuizhen at the door.

Li Mumu and Zhang Caiping hurriedly stopped Wang Cuizhen, and Li Mumu briefly explained the matter.

Gu Shangyong pulled Wang Cuizhen back again, "You can't go like this, it's really a mess, and you really won't let Bai Yuan study in the future?" Xiucai is a reader, Xu ...... Maybe it's not what you think. ”

"Phew! I think he's a bully! Wang Cuizhen scolded angrily.

"Don't forget, if we don't take the initiative to go, we won't retreat if we don't go." Gu Shangyong reminded.

Hearing this, Wang Cuizhen finally calmed down a little.

"Is there any ointment at home, wipe Bai Yuan's wound first." Li Mumu reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Caiping came back with a bottle of medicine after a while, "I work at home and often get hurt, and bone-setting medicine is always available." ”

Li Mumu took Gu Baiyuan to clean up the wound first, Gu Baiyuan's painful tears fell silently, but he always gritted his teeth and didn't say a word of pain.

After waiting for the medicine and bandaging, Li Mumu asked, "What is the situation with Xiucai?" Is he the only one who can teach? What about the children in his classroom? I'm not saying that Bai Yuan did something wrong, I just think that Xiucai must be treated differently for some other reason. ”

"We are the only one who is a teacher from far and near, who is a well-known scholar because he has passed the examination." Wang Cuizhen explained, "Everyone in the family who can afford to pay for it wants to send their children to him to study. So seats are in demand. We also begged for a long time, and finally saved up the bundle before he agreed to accept Bai Yuan's. As for the rest, we don't know what the other students are like. ”

"Bai Yuan didn't say it when he came back, and we can't understand or understand those knowledge...... Gu Shangyong scratched his head and said helplessly.

"Bai Yuan, your husband said, let you make room for others. Are there any students going there recently? Li Mumu asked Gu Baiyuan, whose mood had calmed down a lot.

"I also heard that there is a family in the town that is quite rich and wants to send their son in to study, but there are not enough seats." Gu Baiyuan hadn't thought that deeply yet.

Li Mumu guessed, "Na Xiucai is afraid that he thinks that the family can give him more benefits, so he wants to force Bai Yuan to take the initiative to drop out of school." In this way, it can make room for the children of the rich family, and there is no need to retreat from the shackles. ”

"I'll fuck it! It's a shame that he's still a reader! Wang Cuizhen slapped the table and got up, scolded and picked up the broom and rushed out again.

Li Mumu hurriedly grabbed Wang Cuizhen, "Sister-in-law, now that I'm in the town, it's getting dark, and I can't look for him, let's go with Bai Yuan tomorrow and talk to him well." ”

"Bai Yuan, you bring your book to me to see, what have you learned?" Li Mumu said.

Gu's mother was surprised, "Mumu, are you still going to do this?" ”

Li Mumu thought that the original owner was a person who couldn't read a single word, so he lowered his head and put on a weak and shy appearance, "My father and eldest brother always say that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but I don't think that I think reading can be rational and insightful." It just so happened that there was a scholar in our village, although he had never passed the exam, but he had read a lot of books, so I secretly went to his house to listen to him read, I memorized it, and then compared it with the words in the book, and had the opportunity to secretly ask him for advice or two, but I also read a lot. ”

"But my father and mother and the people in our village don't know about this, and if they do, they will beat me. So...... Dad, mother, you ......"

"Don't worry, we won't say it either." Gu's mother hurriedly said.

Gu Baiyuan went back to the house and brought a copy of "Analects" and a copy of "University".

These two books are naturally not complete in a thin booklet, obviously Gu Baiyuan has only learned these now.
