332 Someone From The Maternal Family
Little Ah Yu’s words amused the aunties around her so much that they could not close their mouths.
They praised the Little Fortune Star for being grateful and filial to her family.
At the same time, they scolded their useless children.
Hence, the sound of many children wailing could be heard.
“Who can compare to Little Sister Ah Yu! She’s powerful to begin with!”
“That’s right, that’s right. We’re not as beautiful as Little Sister Ah Yu, nor are we as smart as her. We can’t even memorize as many books as her!”
“We can’t compare to Ah Yu to begin with.”
In the end, their cries did not attract the sympathy of the elders. Instead, they were criticized even more ruthlessly.
The adults were exasperated. “You still have the cheek to say that! If you’re not as good as others, you should buck up and study harder. When spring comes and the private school in the village is built, if not even one or two of you can pass the county level imperial exam, I’ll make you write an IOU and return the tuition fees we’ve handed in!”
The children complained endlessly, “Then I won’t study anymore!”
In an instant, there was another scene of adults chasing after children.
It made the originally cold winter become lively.
Old Madam Wang looked to the side. Wang Chuangui, who was about to come out to rest, stopped in his tracks.
He smiled sheepishly. “Mother, I’ll go back to revise right away. Right away.”
Oh my god, ever since the people in the village heard that they were going to build a private school, they had high goals and even asked their children to pass the county level examination.
Then, if he, an old examinee, could not pass this time, he would really lose face.
“Go.” Old Madam Wang waved her hand as if she was chasing away a fly.
At this moment, Little Ah Yu was in high spirits. She also pulled Wang Wulang and the others to the study, planning to study together.
After Wang Dalang’s new house was built, his room was converted into a study. Now, everyone was studying there.
Since all the village children had left, she simply called everyone to the courtyard at the side and asked Wang Dalang to find some firewood. They made a fire outside and two soup pots were set up. The pots were filled with radishes and water, and sweet potatoes were simmering at the bottom.
Everyone was chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside.
“Uncle Wang, Auntie Wang, you have guests!”
Old Madam Wang asked Wang Chuanfu to go out and take a look.
After a while, Wang Chuanfu brought back a large group of people.
It turned out to be the maternal families of the daughters-in-law. Every family was here.
Everyone was carrying things in their hands. Some were baskets covered by cloth, some simply brought a few fish, and some baskets were so large that they had to be carried on their backs.
Most of the people who came were men. On the other hand, the fourth daughter-in-law, Liu Shi’s family, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Yang’s family, each carried a large basket on their backs.
Little Ah Yu was originally reading excitedly when Meatball told her that her maternal grandmother was here.
How could she sit still now?
She jumped three feet high and rushed out like a cannonball.
She immediately saw Qin Shi, who was greeting Old Madam Wang in the courtyard.
“Grandma!” Little Ah Yu shouted excitedly.
When Qin Shi heard Little Ah Yu’s voice, she turned around and saw a furry little ball rushing towards her. This fluffy figure had a furry hat on her head, a rabbit scarf around her neck, and a pair of rabbit fur gloves on her tiny hands.
She was like a little rabbit.
“Aiyo, Grandma’s little darling, come over and let Grandma take a look.” Qin Shi was already tired. When she saw Little Ah Yu, she suddenly felt energetic.
Little Ah Yu did not dare to let Qin Shi carry her. “Grandma, I’ve grown up and become heavier. Don’t carry me, or your hands will be tired.”
