Chapter 54： he is shameless

Chapter 54 He is already shameless

"He's half-baked at teaching children and misleading them, so I have to talk about it."

"I like him to misunderstand my children. Come on, I'm really full. I don't know what I did? I still have the face to come to my stall to make trouble. Where did the gentleness of the scholars go? How thick is it?"

"you you you!"

"I respectfully call you Mr. Lin, it's already giving you face. I listened to other people's slander and declared that I will not accept students for the time being. Who is it aimed at?

Who knows in his heart that if you come to buy things, I welcome you, and if you want to come to find me, I am not afraid, or we can go to the mayor to discuss it.

You are the only school in this town, but there are tens of thousands of schools in the Ming Dynasty. You don’t accept students, some people accept them, because a student who can’t get on the table is targeted at my children. You are not worthy of being a teacher. "

"Okay, okay, your wings are stiff, anyone dare to offend?"

"I'm telling the truth. Why, you don't accept students. I'll find someone who can read and teach my son. What kind of law have I violated? Everyone judges him. He is the only private school in the town. He doesn't accept students. But my son wants to study, I can find someone who can teach my son what is wrong?"

"That's right, is it reasonable?"

"That's right, it's a very reasonable thing, why is it unreasonable when it comes to Mr. Lin?"

"You, I, I can't tell you, a woman like you."

Shopkeeper Lu understands it. In order to support Tian Yaozu, Mr. Lin made a promise not to accept students.

He wanted Qiao Mai to bow his head, bring the child to the door in person, and be a peacemaker by the way, to settle the Tian family's grievances with her.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Mai ignored this at all, and directly found a Yuan family who was nothing to teach the children.

Mr. Lin felt that his face was damaged, so he came to Qiao Mai to make a theory under the guise of misleading his son.

There is definitely something tricky in this, and the Tian family must be instigating it.

Lu Sanniang looked into the distance, and found Tian Yaozu in an inconspicuous corner.

Qiao Mai also felt something, and following Lu Sanniang's eyes, he also saw that bastard, who hadn't learned anything at a young age, but used these three bad methods.

As soon as the mayor arrived home, someone came to invite him, and he was so angry that he came to the Qiao Mai stall.

"Mr. Lin, why are you making a fuss in front of a woman's booth? Don't forget that you are a scholar, and you have a reputation. Why don't you have any restraint?"

"Mayor, me?"

"I've heard about this, are you being too narrow-minded? Miss Qiao, she has money, even if she throws it on the road, can you manage it? Children in rural areas can't read since they were young.

Why don't you show kindness and teach, why are you targeting her as a divorced woman? Don't forget, she also saved two children who had no blood relationship with her at all.

She is willing to pay someone to teach her children, how about you? If you have the skills, why not go back and teach your students well, what's the point of making a fuss here? "

The mayor was really angry. Regardless of whether anyone was present or not, he lashed out at Mr. Lin.

"Mayor, no, me?"

"She kindly adopted two children, let the children know how to read, and spent other people's money. When the children were begging on the road, why didn't you stand up?"

Mr. Lin is not as old as the mayor, so he can only listen to the mayor's reprimand, not daring to reply.

"I'm sorry mayor, I was wrong, I was the one who got confused when I heard this."

"Hurry up and go back to teach. This is not the place for you. You are such an adult, and you don't have any ideas of your own. You were actually teased by a student."

"Yes, mayor, Mr. Lin will go back now." Mr. Lin left with his head down and his face flushed.

"It's all gone. If you get stuck here and startle the carriages of the nobles on the road, you can't bear it."

The crowd dispersed, and Tian Yaozu in the distance gritted his teeth and chased after Mr. Lin angrily.

The mayor glared at Qiao Mai, "I will find trouble for this old man all day long, I am an old man, and I still deal with your affairs every day."

Seeing him staring at his sister, shopkeeper Lu immediately stared back.

"You should go out for a walk more when you are old. You can't walk with your legs when you are always sitting."

"You just protect her."

"It's not my sister's fault, it's him who went crazy and came here to find trouble."

"That's right, what's going on with Mr. Lin, who was so upright in the past, why is he making such unreasonable troubles now?"

"Someone encouraged it."

"Who is it?"

"Just pretend, don't you know? It's that kid from the Tian family who doesn't get along with my sister."

"Understood, I don't study well every day, and my brain is only used on it. Mr. Lin thinks he is a good one, but I don't think he will pass the exam even if he is a child."

The mayor turned away with his hands behind his back.

Shopkeeper Lu poked Qiao Mai's arm, "Sister, go back and say hello to Yuan's family at night?"

"How do you say hello?"

"I don't think the kid from the Tian family can succeed at one plan, and I'm afraid he will come up with another plan. He probably doesn't want Feng Yun and the others to study. If Mr. Lin can't find you, will he find the Yuan family? He was kind to him back then, huh?"

"He shouldn't be so shameless, right?"

"If he can do this today, he is already shameless, and he still cares about finding Yuan's house?"

"All right, I'll go ask Brother Yuan tonight."

After closing the stall, Qiao Mai returned home and saw Yuan Jiaqi there.

Seeing her come back, he helped her move everything into the yard, and then sat on the bench, at a loss, not knowing what to say.

Qiao Mai knew that he might need help with something, so he sent Fengyun and the three of them away.

"Brother Yuan just speak up when you have something to say, I like to be the master who is straightforward in his actions."

"You must have seen what happened this morning. My parents have come to the town more than once to make trouble for me and Chuan'er. No matter where I move, they can find out."

"Well, what then?"

Yuan Jiaqi took a deep breath, "I want to get rid of them, I want to give my child a good living environment, and I ask Mrs. Qiao to help me."

Qiao Mai frowned, "How can I help you?"

"I want to marry into your family, okay?"

"Being a door-to-door son-in-law?" Qiao Mai was a little surprised.

"Yes."

"But I don't want to get married."

"Listen to me, we are just a fake marriage, as long as I get rid of the Yuan family, after a while, you can divorce me, and you can do whatever you want, okay?"

"Just going through the motions?"

"Yes."

"I have to think about it."

"I can't think about it anymore, I don't have time, and they will book me a girl from that family at a later date. Yuan is really desperate. There is no separation, no household registration, and my child and I can't go anywhere."

"Why did you choose me? The Chen family next door is also single?"

"You are strong, brave, hardworking, capable, and not afraid of gossip, but Mrs. Chen can't. She is a traditional woman and can't accept these things. You can. The key is that my Chuan'er likes you."

"This is too much help, so what benefit can I get?"

The Yuan family blushed, "I'm very diligent, you don't have to worry about family matters, I can do everything, and I can cook meals, but it's not as delicious as yours. I can make money, but not as much as you. Three days You can copy a book and earn two or three hundred wen, or two or three taels of silver a month, and I will teach children how to read in the future, so you don’t have to teach me how to read.”

"It sounds like I saved two taels of silver, but my family needs to vacate a house, so where will my quail live?"

"I've seen the chickens you raise, and some places are unreasonable. It's better to make wooden boxes and put them on the shelf to save space."

Qiao Mai nodded, "Okay, the two taels of silver should be regarded as the living expenses paid by you and Chuan'er. You should work hard to make money in the future. My family's living conditions are quite good, and two taels of silver is not enough."
