Chu Xuhua returned to the Chu Village and told Hong Yujun about the sale of the rice wine, asking her to arrange the second batch of rice wine as soon as possible.

Hong Yujun was very happy. “I understand. I’ll start making arrangements In a while.”

Chu Xuhua nodded. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“You’re welcome.” Hong Yujun smiled. “I’d rather hustle and bustle than drift through life without purpose. This hard work? It’s my kind of fun.”

With Chu Xuhua’s feedback, Hong Yujun decided to brew the rice wine and grape wine together.

However, she was a little short on manpower.

“Ruyue, I need five people here. One woman and four men, with an eye for detail.”

“Okay, got it. I’ll arrange for the manpower as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

In the Chu Village.

Xu Songnian, Xu Wenlin, and Tian Xiaoqiu walked towards Chu Village together.

Tian Xiaoqiu was extremely nervous. She had damaged something, and if it were to be pursued, what would she do?

Thinking about the serious consequences of the incident, she couldn’t help but cry again.

Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin quickly asked her what was wrong.

The more Tian Xiaoqiu thought about it, the more helpless she became The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. “I broke something. What if my cousin asks me to compensate? I don’t have a penny.”

Xu Songman said, “Just talk to your cousin properly and try to get their forgiveness. If they ask you to pay money, you can say you’ll work off the debt There’s always a solution.”

Hearing this, Tian Xiaoqiu felt not so lost anymore, “Brother Songnian, I understand, thank you.”

“It’s nothing, let’s keep going,” Xu Songnian said quietly, feeling pity for the child without parents.

Upon arriving at chu village, Tian Xiaoqiu Immediately found Chu Qingzhi and told her everything that happened last night, crying, “Cousin, it’s my fault I was just washing the dishes, and then everything got ruined.”

Chu Qingzhi gently patted Tian Xiaoqiu’s head, “I know, but rules are rules. After school, you’ll stay to clean the schoolhouse for a month, got it?” A big stone fell from Tian Xiaoqiu’s heart, she nodded vigorously, gratefully saying, “Thank you, cousin, I remember. I’ll clean it well.”

“Go to class now, study hard,” Chu Qingzhi said softly, “if you rank first I’ll give you a reward.”

Tian Xiaoqiu was overjoyed, “I will definitely try my best.”

Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin were waiting for Tian Xiaoqiu at the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw Tian Xiaoqiu walk out of the house happily, they knew that the matter had been resolved.

Without bringing up anything that would make her sa(| agaln

headed towards the ancestral hall together.

At quarter to seven, Ge Lihua walked into the classroom.

including Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin, there were twenty eight students, and now twenty-six had arrived at the classroom.

Without any chattering, all were sitting at their seats reviewing the content from yesterday’s lecture, quite earnestly.

Ge Lihua sat in the teacher’s designated seat and said, “Now, we’ll check the homework. Everyone, bring your homework here for me to review.”

Xu Songnian was the first to come over, “Sister Lihua, here’s what I wrote.” Ge Lihua quickly skimmed through the homework paper, “Your writing has improved a lot. Keep practicing, and it will definitely get even better.” Praised, Xu Songnian was somewhat excited, “I will keep trying.” Ge Lihua nodded, returning the homework paper to Xu Songnian, “Alright, you may go now.”

“Ok.”

Ge Lihua wrote down a grade of ” A- ” in the grade book as a basis for some future grading.

Xu Wenlin handed the homework paper to Ge Lihua and lowered her head She was a little unconfident. “Sister Lihua, I can’t write well, but I’ll practice more.” “Alright.” Ge Lihua smiled and returned the homework to Xu Wenlin. “It’s alright, you can go now.”

“Ok.”

Ge Lihua then wrote down a grade of “B+” in the grade book.

Tian Xiaoqiu nervously handed her homework to Ge Lihua, “Sister Lihua I’ll try my best too.”

The little girl was very self-deprecating, speaking with her head so low that her face was almost not visible.

Ge Lihua tilted her head to glance at Tian Xiaoqiu, “Lift your head up.” Tian Xiaoqiu, not understanding why but still slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

Ge Lihua spoke gently and encouragingly, “Say what you just said again. ” Tian Xiaoqiu became nervous again, guessing if she had said something wrong

Sister Lihua, I will try my best.”

Ge Libia’s tone was gentle, “That’s right, when we speak, we do it boldly and

look at the other person, don’t bow your head, understand?”

Tian Xiaoqiu, feeling sensitive and inferior, understood Ge Lihua’s intention

her heartwarming, “Yes, Sister Lihua.”

“Good, your work is not bad, keep trying next time.”

“Yes.”

Ge Lihua then wrote down a grade of “B+” in the grade book.

As she was checking the homeworks, the remaining two students arrived seeing the scene of checking homework in the classroom, they tensed np as they hadn’t completed their homeworks.

After Ge Lihua had checked the homeworks of the previous twenty-six students, she gestured to the two standing at the door, afraid to come in “Speakup, what’s the reason?”

The boy on the left said, “After I went home yesterday, I saw people catching fish in the pond, I couldn’t resist and went to catch fish too, and then I forgot about the homeworks.”

Ge Lihua nodded, “Put your things down and go home, you don’t need to come back.”

Her voice was calm, but it was clear there was no room for negotiation.

Both boys’ faces turned pale.

The boy knelt down begging, “Sister Lihua, I didn’t do it on purpose, please forgive me this time, I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Ge Lihua ignored him, turning to the other boy, “Why didn’t you do your homework?”

The boy hurriedly explained, “Yesterday, my grandlather was ill, I was taking care of him until it stabilized late at night, I was too tired and tell asleep beside his bed, only remembering the homework in the morning, but due to lack of time, I couldn’t complete it.”

Ge Lihua said, “Let me see.”

The boy quickly handed his homework to Ge Lihua.

Half of the homework was written on the paper… Although the handwriting was not very good, one could tell that it was written seriously.

“Go sit down and listen to the class, and make up the incomplete part later.”

The boy was overjoyed, “Yes, Sister Lihua.”

The boy on the left, seeing that the other boy who also hadn’t completed the homework was allowed to stay while he was being sent away, felt unjust, “You’re biased, why can he stay?”

Ge Lihua glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. She got up and

The boy followed her out, angrily shouting, “I don’t accept this, you can’t just send me away.”

Ge Lihua’s cold gaze turned towards the boy, causing him to tense up and dare not make any more fuss.

Ge Lihua said, “He was taking care of someone ill, while you were merely Playing. What grounds do you have to be dissatisfied? What right do you have to not accept this?”

The boy couldn’t retort that.
