404 Unexpected Calamity
Wang Wulang complained in his heart. Originally, their Qingmu Academy had yet to take a farming break.
However, the Wang Family boys discussed that their family would definitely be very busy during this period of time and no one would have the time to take care of Little Ah Yu.
The few of them discussed letting Wang Wulang come back on leave first to accompany Little Ah Yu more.
In any case, Wang Wulang was usually with Little Ah Yu. Little Ah Yu also liked her Fifth Big Brother very much.
However, Wang Wulang did not expect to be caught by his Grandma before he could look for his Little Sister Ah Yu.
Without any explanation, she made him squat and hold the jar, saying that she wanted to train his mouth.
Wang Wulang’s legs were trembling from squatting, so he said to Old Madam Wang, “Grandma, Second Uncle is already a county scholar now. From time to time, other people from the village will come to take a look. It’s not very elegant for me to squat like this, right?”
“If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten that our family now has a county scholar.” When Wang Wulang nodded vigorously, Old Madam Wang said, “An old woman like me shouldn’t have the face to order around a county scholar now, and I can’t order around a county scholar’s nephew like you, right?”
Wang Wulang’s face turned pale.
How could he forget that his Grandma had never suffered grievances verbally?
Therefore, when Wang Chuanfu returned, he realized that the way his mother looked at him was wrong.
Wang Chuanfu touched his nose and said carefully, “Mother, did I do anything wrong recently?”
“No, you did very well.” Old Madam Wang looked at Wang Wulang at the side. It was unknown if she was mocking him or if she was sincere. “Your second brother brought honor to our Wang Family and the ancestors. As the eldest brother, you’re also proud, right?”
Wang Wulang was not afraid of death and added, “Grandma, does our Wang Family have an ancestor?”
Didn’t they escape here after their entire family died?
There should be no more ancestors.
“I’m your ancestor now!” Old Madam Wang could not help but whip the bamboo strip in her hand at Wang Wulang’s butt.
Wang Wulang shouted in a sorry manner.
This cry was too tragic. Little Ah Yu, who had accidentally fallen asleep in the house, also woke up.
She hurriedly ran out and saw Wang Wulang and Wang Chuanfu in the courtyard.
Little Ah Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. Then, she ran over and took the other end of the handkerchief to Wang Wulang to wipe the sweat off his face.
“Fifth Big Brother, why did you make Grandma angry again?”
Wang Wulang looked aggrieved. “I don’t know either!”
If he knew, he would have been able to treat the problem, right?
At this moment, Wang Aibao walked into the courtyard. “Mother, it’s time to eat.”
Little Ah Yu looked at Old Madam Wang eagerly. “Grandma, Grandma, it’s time to eat. I’m hungry! Fifth Big Brother just returned from town. He must be hungry too, right?”
Old Madam Wang held her hand and walked into the central room. “Alright, you only know how to feel sorry for your Fifth Brother every day. You don’t even feel sorry for your Grandma.”
“My heart aches for Grandma! Are you feeling unwell? I’ll massage your back.” Little Ah Yu hurriedly pretended to be obedient.
“You.”
With just a few words, Old Madam Wang burst with joy.
Wang Wulang was also approved to eat.
Wang Chuanfu followed behind silently. He roughly knew that he might have been implicated, so he naturally did not say much.
In the end, after the meal, Old Madam Wang asked Wang Chuanfu to bring Wang Wulang to read and asked them to practice more before the sky turned completely dark.
Wang Chuanfu and Wang Wulang looked pained.
Wang Chuanfu tried to discuss it with Old Madam Wang. “Mother, I think the tiles in our inner courtyard are a little crooked. I’ll go and repair them and let Wulang read by himself.”
Old Madam Wang: “If you continue to nag, you can read while repairing the tiles.”
Wang Chuanfu, who recalled that scene: “…”
Little Ah Yu recalled Teacher Yang’s instructions to her and volunteered to practice calligraphy.
“Fifth Big Brother, I’ll practice calligraphy with you!” Little Ah Yu ran into the study first, extremely happy.
She did not hate studying.
Because everyone praised her for being smart, she was full of motivation now.
Just as she finished writing, Meatball issued a new mission.
