Chapter 62 A farce

"You say who wants to take advantage of you and bully you, don't talk nonsense." He Fang never expected Xiao Yunchu to speak so bluntly, and she couldn't help but panic. Although the other village women who came with her really had this idea, But after all, most people still want to save face. It is better to save face. It is embarrassing and embarrassing to be said like this in public.

Moreover, these people didn't all have the same purpose, and some people heard about the rumors and came to join in the fun. At first, they thought it was a good thing that it really came true, but Xiao Yunchu put it on the surface like this, and then Looking at He Fang's group, they really couldn't refute it. The way they all stared at Xiao Yunchu, didn't they just want to force her to agree.

If you disagree, can you leave without complaint?If they are not kept together, they will have to quarrel, and even make things big.

At this time, someone finally remembered to ask the village chief for adjustment, but suddenly remembered that the village chief had gone out today, and something flashed through his mind for a moment, and when he looked at He Fang, his eyes were a little bit wrong .

A quick-thinking village woman in the crowd suddenly said: "Mother Zichen, don't speak so harshly. You can see that your family's Zixi can learn it. Why can't our sons and grandchildren learn it? The school doesn't When recruiting female students, they say that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, she knows the three obediences and the four virtues, and after she gets married, she will be able to divide her husband and raise her children. It would be disrespectful for a learned man like Mr. Tang to teach a girl."

"That's right, besides, we didn't ask Mr. Tang to teach for nothing. Each of our family can contribute some of the family's rations, and send a piece of meat to Mr. Tang every now and then. Although there are not many things, it is always a thought."

Xiao Yunchu snorted coldly, "Since I can spend a lot of money to invite him here, why don't you send me something? If you really don't want to deliberately take advantage of me, you can integrate those 'hearts' and collect a penny to buy it again." Hire another gentleman, otherwise, no matter how beautiful your words are, don’t you want to pay a penny? I pay the money by myself, but you want Mr. Tang to serve the whole village? You have such good calculations, I deserve to suffer ?” Do I look like a fool?

Everyone was speechless.

"If you insist on letting Mr. Tang teach, say I'm stopping him, right?" Xiao Yunchu gestured directly to Tang Jingyang, "Why don't you just let him choose? I spent a lot of money to find a dedicated teacher. Chen Zixi's students don't need to be distracted by other people. If he wants to teach your children, I will hire another teacher at worst. However, you will have to pay for Mr. Tang's Shuxiu. It’s impossible for me to bear the burden at that time, isn’t it?”

Someone asked tentatively, "What money did you pay Mr. Tang?"

Xiao Yunchu said word by word: "Every month, five taels of silver."

"Ho—!" So many!

No matter how much they said, they didn't show the specific expenses directly enough to shock people. With just a few words like that, most of the people had obvious flinching expressions on their faces.

They guessed that Xiao Yunchu must have spent a lot of money to hire a husband, but this figure is still far beyond their imagination. She is going bankrupt and wants to enlighten her two children.

Five taels of silver a month, many families in the village may not necessarily have this kind of income throughout the year, even if it is shared equally among ten or so families, it would cost five hundred taels of silver a month, which can drag down a family!
Can you say you don't want to pay the money?Could it be that he really licked his face and asked Xiao Yunchu to pay double?Even He Fang who calculated these things didn't have the face.

Those who are really aggrieved can only mutter in a low voice, "Opening and closing your mouth is all about money, this is falling into the eyes of money."

"Oh, I fell into the eyes of money? Why don't you? If you don't mention it, you will ignore it and take advantage of it? If you say that I am too selfish, then according to your opinion, what good things do your family have? Will things be shared with other people in the village?"

How can it be!Everyone thought.

Of course, if you have good things, you can hide them and enjoy them secretly.

"Even people who haven't read a book should know what it means to not reveal money. Since you can't do it yourself, why do you ask me to give selflessly?" To put it bluntly, double-standard dog.

"Besides." Before Xiao Yunchu finished speaking, he turned his eyes coldly to the person who had thrown the words at Zixi before, "I don't care what other people's daughters practice, but my own daughter, I hope that her reading and literacy is no worse than that of men, this is my freedom, I have the ability to provide this condition, other people are not qualified to intervene."

"You!" The woman blushed with anger.

Tang Jingyang also stood up with a serious face at this time, his usual expression when facing the villagers was completely restrained, he looked indescribably majestic, and his eyes swept over everyone present who came to provoke trouble, especially the leader He Fang, looking down on people with guilty conscience, said in a strong tone: "If I wanted to open a school to recruit more students, I would not have come here in the first place. With my talents, if I hadn't taken a fancy to the extremely talented An excellent student, ordinary people can't easily enter my school, and in this Youxi village, only Zichen and Zixi meet this requirement."

"I thought it would be a good place for self-cultivation, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, and simple folk customs, but I never thought that such persecution would happen today. It is really disappointing." The last sentence was particularly emphatic. .

Those who came to see the excitement saw his serious expression, and his words were so serious, and realized that if this matter was not handled properly, it might become a big problem, so they didn't dare to continue watching, and they all said: "Mr. Tang, you are serious. Their actions have nothing to do with us, let alone represent our entire Youxi Village."

"That's right! These women have long hair but short knowledge, you, don't be as knowledgeable as them."

A well-learned person like Mr. Tang must have a lot of classmates and a wide network of contacts. Once he believes that the folk customs of their Youxi Village are not simple, do you want to spread the reputation of their village?The reputation of the village is bad, don't mention anything about letting the children read and write, I am afraid that the marriage of the children will be a problem in the future!It's worth it! ?
"Mother Zichen, please explain to Mr. Tang quickly, this matter is actually a misunderstanding! Since Mr. Tang was invited by you, of course you should teach Zichen and Zixi well. Others want their children to learn too. You should spend your own money to please Mr., and shouldn't bother you."

"If you want to say that it was instigated by the daughter-in-law of the noble family, you, what are you so worried about? You deliberately don't want our village to be good, do you!" The person who spoke was an uncle in his fifties. The elders of Huang Dagui's house are separated by a room.

He Fang was so trained that her face turned pale, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, which instantly cooled her once feverish mind, and she finally realized her impulsiveness, showing regret on her face.

In the final analysis, she was actually outraged by Xiao Yunchu's attitude for a while, and she quarreled with the daughters-in-law of the neighbors. It was a trivial matter for the parents, but she always felt happy when she said she won, but she didn't realize it. Those little quarrels and the ones she made up today are fundamentally of two different natures.

Facing the displeased gazes of the elders' accusations, and the flickering expressions of the women around who obviously shirk responsibility after repenting, He Fang clearly understood for the first time that this matter will not end well...

If the matter is successful, some people may remember her kindness, but if it is not successful, Xiao Yunchu is not the only one who will not be able to please, she will also be a bad person inside and out, and become the target of public criticism.

When the village chief came back and found out about it, she found out that she was the leader... He Fang's face turned even paler.

It was also at this time that a huge gray shadow suddenly rushed out from the yard behind Xiao Yunchu, and while rushing towards the crowd, it let out an astonishing wolf howl, "Ow!"

"what--!"
