Chapter 173: Children are good at talking
Old Man Mu also thought so. He never thought about letting his grandsons pass the imperial examinations. He wanted them to be able to read and write so that they would not have to dig for food in the fields like they did in the future.
"Laomi, wait and see."
He smoked his pipe and said, "It's definitely not possible this year. Winter is coming soon, and Mr. Cheng doesn't have the energy to take care of more children."
"We'll see next spring."
Old Mickey knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, so he rubbed his hands and said, "Okay."
The villagers who heard this were all talking about going to school.
“It would be great if our children could go to school.”
"It's not that easy. Not to mention that some children don't like going to school, Mr. Cheng is alone, how can he teach so many children?"
"What do you think? When Mu Pingping and the others learn how to do it, can they teach the children in the village?"
"It's hard to say. Pingping and his friends might graduate from school and take the imperial examinations, but they may not be able to teach the children in the village."
"Please stop talking about this. The most important thing is to harvest quickly. This is related to our food and drink this year and next year."
When this matter was brought up, the villagers stopped chatting and continued to work.
The most important thing now is the harvest, other things are not important for the time being.
……
It was almost noon and the children were all out of school.
Cheng Zishi stood at the gate and warned the children returning home: "Be careful, don't play around on the way, go straight home."
The children all responded "OK" and went home.
But at this moment, Zhao Chunhua came with a basket: "Mr. Cheng."
She smiled softly, "I made something to eat."
"If Mr. Cheng doesn't mind, please give it a try."
Today, Zhao Chunhua is wearing a light blue cotton and linen outfit. It is not a thick cotton coat, but a relatively thin autumn coat that can well highlight her figure.
She also dressed up specially to show her most beautiful side.
Unfortunately, Cheng Zishi didn't even look at her, let alone take her things. "You can take it back. I won't eat it."
He touched Mu Baobao's head and said, "Baby, let your brothers take you back first."
Mu Baobao retracted his gaze from Zhao Chunhua and said to Cheng Zishi, "Okay, uncle."
Just as she finished speaking, she heard Zhao Chunhua's voice, "The baby is so cute."
Mu Baobao always felt that what she said sounded a little strange, so he tilted his head to look at her and said, "Thank you, sister."
Zhao Chunhua squatted in front of her and put on her most friendly smile. "Baby, I made meat patties. Do you want to have one?"
As she spoke, she took out a piece of meat pie from the basket and handed it to Mu Baobao.
Mu Baobao quickly hid behind Mr. Cheng and poked his head out to look at Zhao Chunhua. "Thank you, sister. I don't want the meat pie."
She always felt that her sister's smile was strange.
Cheng Zishi looked at Zhao Chunhua coldly and warned, "Don't try to take advantage of the baby."
"If this happens again, I don't think your family will exist anymore."
Zhao Chunhua bit her lip and tilted her head slightly to look at him, "Mr. Cheng, you really misunderstood me."
This angle was specially designed by Zhao Chunhua to best show her beauty.
Cheng Zishi saw through her thoughts and calculations at a glance and sneered, "Your tricks are only good enough to deal with those men in the village who covet your beauty."
"It's useless to me."
Zhao Chunhua felt a little embarrassed, but her face was soft and weak, "Mr. Cheng, you misunderstood me, I don't have such thoughts."
"I just thought that you've helped the village so much, and I wanted to repay you."
She originally thought that with her dress and behavior today, she could win some favor from Mr. Cheng.
As a result, Mr. Cheng treated her like this.
Cheng Zishi chuckled twice, "Alright, I've seen countless of your tricks in Rongdu."
"Those who are not up to the standard will resort to tricks like this."
Zhao Chunhua didn't hear anything else, only the two words "Rongdu", which made her breathing quicken a little.
Rongdu...that's a good place.
Once she marries Mr. Cheng, she will be able to go to Rongdu and become a superior person.
"Mr. Cheng, it's really not what you said."
She said pitifully, "I just thought..."
"That's enough!" Cheng Zishi interrupted her impatiently and sneered, "With your looks, the maids who serve me are prettier than you, and you still want to seduce me."
Any maid who can serve her master personally is always very beautiful.
Anyone who is not good-looking cannot serve the master closely.
Zhao Chunhua felt extremely humiliated. She wanted to be a superior person and could not be compared with a lowly maid.
She stood up, looking deeply hurt. "Mr. Cheng, I don't understand why you have such great malice towards me."
"I just want to repay you."
As she spoke, she actually burst into tears.
Mu Baobao let out a rather unpleasant "Wow!", "Uncle, why does this sister cry so easily? And she cries so beautifully."
"Wouldn't it be ugly if you cried?"
It was the first time she saw someone cry so beautifully.
The children were talking in a flurry.
"Yes, Zhao Chunhua looks so pretty when she cries. I look ugly when I cry, and my nose even runs."
"Look, Zhao Chunhua isn't crying loudly, she's crying pitifully. Did the teacher bully her? Why is she crying?"
"I think she was just pretending. The master didn't bully her, but she cried anyway. She must be pretending."
Mu Pingping was the only child who did not participate. He had long seen that Zhao Chunhua had bad intentions. This woman wanted to seduce both the gentleman and Dr. Deng.
She really thinks she is a thing.
Zhao Chunhua hated these children to death, but she couldn't express it. "Mr. Cheng..."
"Your crying is too ugly." Cheng Zishi said, "Your crying scenes are only slightly better than those of my third-rate maids."
Zhao Chunhua stopped crying.
"Uncle, what is a third-class maid?" Mu Baobao looked up at Cheng Zishi and asked curiously.
All the children present were curious about this.
Cheng Zishi explained, "In wealthy families, maids are divided into different levels."
"Not all maids can serve the master. Only first-class maids and maids assigned by the master can serve the master."
"Also, second- and third-class maids do different things. Third-class maids do odd jobs, and their work is the heaviest and most tiring."
Mu Baobao and other children probably understood.
Now, they looked at Zhao Chunhua differently.
"So, Zhao Chunhua wants to be a maid for you, Master." Tao Yeye looked at Zhao Chunhua again and again. "Can she be a good maid for you, Master, in this state?"
Zhao Chunhua was almost angry to death. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to be Mr. Cheng's maid."
She wants to be a superior person, how could she be a lowly maid?
Tao Yeye exclaimed, "Aren't you going to be a maid for the master? Then why are you here to see him?"
"You don't have any children taking classes here, sir... No, you don't have any children at home."
