Li Mumu pulled Gu Boyuan and turned to persuade: "Sister-in-law, we don't know much about the scholar, but we know Bai Yuan very well. But we can't wrongly accuse Bai Yuan and hurt the child's heart because of the scholar's words."

Wang Cuizhen regretted it just after scolding her, but what should she do?

She had such a bad temper, and now she was looking at Gu Baiyuan's crying little face, with a wronged look on his face, his eyes were red, but he looked back at her with a somewhat stubborn look.

Li Mumu took the step and said roughly, "I'll just listen to what he says!"

The original work didn't mention much about the Gu family, let alone these trivial matters of life.

Li Mumu really didn't understand what happened to Gu Boyuan.

After entering the room and asking Gu Boyuan to sit down, Li Mumu poured him a bowl of water, "Here, drink some water first."

Gu Baiyuan had just held the bowl in his little hand when he suddenly gasped with a hiss. He let go of his little hand and dropped the bowl and water on the table, spilling water all over the table.

Wang Cuizhen suddenly became angry, "How come you don't even have a bowl..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mumu hurriedly took Gu Baiyuan's hand and opened his palm. He saw red to purple marks on the palm of his hand, and even blood stains under the skin.

Wang Cuizhen's unfinished words were retracted into her throat, replaced by a distressed scream: "What happened to your hand?"

Then Li Mumu said: "Did you just say that Mr. hit you?"

Gu Baiyuan cried so much that he hiccupped. He drank a bowl of water before suppressing it a little. While wiping his tears, he said, "I don't understand some of what Mr. Sir said, so I asked him. He thought I talked too much if I asked too many questions. He just said Let me memorize it, and I will understand it later. But I can't memorize it because I don't understand the meaning. I stumble on memorizing it. The teacher said that I am not good at reading and that I am stupid. He said that I am stupid and don't know how to work hard. Hit my palm with the cane."

"In class today, we were asked about our knowledge of classics and meanings, but even if I memorized some of them, I still didn't understand the meaning. I asked the teacher before, but he never explained it to me. Now I am asked to answer, and I can't answer it." Gu Baiyuan breathed. Sniffing, "I couldn't answer, so people laughed at me. My husband said I didn't have the talent to read."

"I don't think what the teacher said makes sense for some questions. When I asked him about it, he said that I deliberately made trouble in class." Gu Boyuan cried and trembled, and his little hand with painful palms also shrank, "Just took it again The cane hit my palm."

"My husband also said that I should not go and make room for other talented people to study. I can't get ahead even if I study, so I might as well come back and grow crops honestly. My destiny of growing crops will never change. of."

Li Mumu stood up awkwardly, trembling with anger, and said to Wang Cuizhen: "That scholar is in vain to be a teacher! Not to mention whether Bai Yuan is really as he said, not a scholar. He beat Bai Yuan like this, and his If your hand is broken, how can you hold the pen in the future? He is clearly trying to destroy Bai Yuan!"

Wang Cuizhen finally reacted after what Li Mumu said, her eyes turned red with anger, she picked up the broom and rushed out, "Damn old man, he wants to destroy our Baiyuan, I will fight with him!"

"What's going on?" The eldest brother Gu Shangyong and the second brother Gu Shangwei came back from working in the fields with their father, and happened to bump into Wang Cuizhen at the door.

Li Mumu and Zhang Caiping quickly stopped Wang Cuizhen, and Li Mumu briefly explained the matter.

Gu Shangyong pulled Wang Cuizhen back again, "You can't go like this. If we really break up, will we really stop letting Bai Yuan study in the future? Scholars are scholars, maybe... maybe they are not what you think."

"Bah! I think he is just bullying!" Wang Cuizhen scolded angrily.

"Don't forget, if we take the initiative not to go, the remaining Shu Xiu will not be allowed to retreat." Gu Shangyong reminded.

After hearing this, Wang Cuizhen finally calmed down a little.

"If you have any ointment at home, wipe the wound on Bai Yuan first." Li Mumu reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Caiping came back with a bottle of medicine after a while, "I often hurt myself when doing farm work at home, so I always have medicine for bruises."

Li Mumu first took Gu Baiyuan to clean the wound. Gu Baiyuan was so painful that tears fell silently, but he still gritted his teeth without making a sound of pain.

After taking the medicine and bandaging, Li Mumu asked: "What's the situation with Xiucai? Is he the only one who can teach from far and near? What's the situation like at home for the children in his class? I'm not saying that Bai Yuan did it No, I just feel that there must be some other reason why scholars are treated differently."

"We only have one teacher who is famous for being a scholar." Wang Cuizhen explained, "Everyone in the family who can afford it wants to send their children to study with him. So the seats are very popular. . We also asked someone to beg for a long time, and finally saved Shu Xiu, and he agreed to accept Bai Yuan. As for the others, we don’t know what the situation is like with other students."

"Bo Yuan didn't say anything when he came back, and we can't understand or understand those knowledge..." Gu Shangyong scratched his head and said at a loss.

"Bo Yuan, your husband said that you should make room for someone else. Are there any students going there recently?" Li Mumu asked Gu Baiyuan, who was now much calmer.

"I also heard that there is a quite wealthy family in the town who wants to send their son to study, but there are not enough seats." Gu Boyuan hasn't thought that deeply yet.

Li Mumu guessed, "The scholar probably thought that family could give him more benefits, so he wanted to force Bai Yuan to drop out of school. This would make room for the child of the rich family without having to withdraw from Bai Yuan. of Shuxiu.”

"Damn it! Fortunately, he is still a scholar!" Wang Cuizhen slapped the table and stood up. Cursing, she picked up the broom and rushed out again.

Li Mumu quickly grabbed Wang Cuizhen and said, "Sister-in-law, it's getting dark now that we're in town, and there's no way to find him. Let's go with Bai Yuan tomorrow and talk to him."

"Bo Yuan, bring me your book to see. What have you learned?" Li Mumu said.

Gu's mother was surprised, "Mumu, do you know these things?"

Li Mumu thought that the original owner was an illiterate person, so she lowered her head, showing a guilty and shy look, "My parents and eldest brother always say that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, but I don't think so. I think reading can make sense." , can gain knowledge. It happened that there was a scholar in our village. Although he had never passed the exam, he had read a lot of books. I secretly went to the wall of his house to listen to him read. I memorized it and compared it with the words in the book. , I had the opportunity to consult him secretly, and I read a lot because of it.”

"But my parents and the people in our village don't know about this. If they find out, they will definitely beat me. So... dad, mom, you guys..."

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone." Gu's mother said quickly.

Gu Boyuan went back to the house and brought out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and a copy of "The Great Learning".

Naturally, these two volumes cannot be covered in one thin book. Obviously, this is all Gu Boyuan has learned now.
