220 How Could Master Chu Hate You?
Tao Yang helped Father Tao up and was about to curse when he saw Yang Quanzi, many teachers, and students from the academy arrive. He immediately turned his face of anger into a smile and he pushed his son, Tao Le, forward. “Sir, my son is talented and smart. He’s good at studying. He especially wants to enter Qinghe Academy to study. Sir, please accept him!”
Tao Yang knew very well that with the appearance of Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao, it would be difficult to force Little Cat to drop out of school. He might as well try to beg these pretentious teachers.
When Tao Yang said this, the villagers who were watching the show just now immediately remembered that they were surrounding this place for the same purpose as Tao Yang.
The villagers of Lintian Village pushed their children forward. “Sir, our child is even smarter. He can walk at 6 months old, sing at one year old, and help the family at two years old. As long as he can enter the academy, this child will definitely do as you tell him!”
Another villager even tried to negotiate directly, “Sir, two taels for tuition fee is too expensive. Can you give our child Zhu Zi a discount? Our family can only fork out half a tael of silver. When Zhu Zi becomes the top scholar, we will definitely treat you well.”
Everyone’s faces were filled with concern for their children.
But just now, they had forced other people’s child to drop out of school for their own children.
If they did not comply, they would bully the other party. This behavior was no different from a bandit.
Yang Quanzi looked at everyone solemnly and told them seriously, “The registration period for Qinghe Academy has ended, we won’t accept any more students.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers present panicked.
Elder Lin came out of Little Cat’s house and hurriedly said, “Senior teacher, Little Cat’s father has already agreed to give Little Cat’s study position to our Lin Wang. Is that okay?”
In order for Lin Wang to enter Qinghe Academy, Elder Lin promised Ren Shuixing that he would help him call someone from his maternal family and give him five taels of silver.
To show his sincerity, Lin Wang’s father had gone to invite Ren Shuixing’s grandfather. He would be arriving soon.
Tao Yinzhen’s eyes widened in shock as she roared, “Absolutely not! I don’t agree!”
Then, Ren Shuixing’s angry curse came from the house. “B*tch, as long as I’m not dead, it’s not your turn to ride on my head and do as you wish!”
The people from his maternal family were about to arrive, and Ren Shuixing gained more confidence. He was not afraid that Tao Yinzhen would not serve him. He even wanted to return all the harsh treatment he had suffered these days to her!
Ren Shuixing’s vulgar words were like a punch to Tao Yinzhen’s heart.
Clenching her fists, her gaze fell to the beautiful cape of Bai Wutong. Her tears kept falling.
What kind of person did she meet?
Tao Yinzhen cried softly and pitifully.
However, Chu Tianbao did not look at her at all.
Little Cat pounced into Tao Yinzhen’s arms. He was afraid that Yang Quanzi would agree to Village Chief Zhao’s actions.
After going to Qinghe Academy and knowing how good it was, he no longer wanted to go to other academies.
Village Chief Zhao looked at Yang Quanzi anxiously and waited for him to nod in agreement. Unexpectedly, he heard something that made him very angry.
“Even if some students have voluntarily dropped out, the Qinghe Academy won’t take in any more students.”
Yang Quanzi specially glanced at the pitiful mother and son and emphasized coldly, “This is a rule passed down by the Qinghe Academy for a hundred years. Also, if your parents have bad morals and commit crimes, cheat, or bully others, you won’t be accepted even if you enroll next year.”
When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other, their hearts trembling.
Just now, they had bullied Little Cat and his mother because they had advantage in numbers.
Village Chief Zhao was dumbfounded. “Senior teacher, but his father has agreed?”
Yang Quanzi said coldly, “If the child doesn’t agree, no one can force him to drop out of school! If you continue to pester and threaten them, our Qinghe Academy won’t accept any of your children.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Hu, who was silent in the crowd, immediately became anxious. It had not been easy for him to register for Lei Zi. He could not let his father ruin it. If Lei Zi was chased out of Qinghe Academy because of that, how could he answer to Xiuxiu?
Lin Hu hurriedly pulled the dumbfounded Village Chief Zhao to the side and apologized to Little Cat and his mother. “Lady Tao, my father is muddle-headed. Don’t stoop yourself to his level. Don’t worry, Mr. Zhao has already said that no one can take away Little Cat’s study position.”
Yang Quanzi had brought so many people here to provide Little Cat backup. Little Cat’s future was definitely limitless.
Lin Hu curried favor with Tao Yinzhen because he wanted Lin Lei and Little Cat to get along well. If they got along well, the teachers would definitely like them.
Little Cat had just experienced a moment of despair, but what he heard brightened his future again. The gloom in his eyes was swept away.
He looked gratefully at Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao.
If not for Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong, Yang Quanzi would not have noticed him, nor would he have stood up for him.
When he grew up, he would definitely repay them with his life.
No one could break the rules of Qinghe Academy.
Elder Zhao met his grandson Lin Wang’s indignant gaze and felt a sense of powerlessness.
He regretted it. If he had let Lin Wang go to Qinghe Academy from the beginning, Yang Quanzi might have valued his grandson.
After the matter was resolved, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were about to leave.
Tao Yinzhen wiped her tears and hurriedly stood up. She called out to her, “Madam Bai, your cloak.” For a moment, her gaze was fixed on Chu Tianbao’s face.
Bai Wutong stood forward. Their eyes met in the air, creating invisible sparks.
The corners of her mouth curled up, disdainful of Tao Yinzhen’s way of trying to attract Chu Tianbao’s attention.
Tao Yinzhen gritted her teeth when she was hit by the mocking gaze.
She had clearly done nothing. Why should Bai Wutong look down on her?
She could not panic.
Tao Yinzhen pulled Little Cat over and bowed. “Thank you, Master Chu, for saving us. Thank you, Madam Bai, for lending me a cloak.” Her face was sincere.
There were still traces of crying on Little Cat’s face. “Thank you, Madam Bai, thank you, Master Chu!”
Bai Wutong nodded indifferently and stroked his head reassuringly.
Little Cat was actually quite likeable.
Tao Yinzhen secretly looked at her coldly. Pretending again!
Chu Tianbao was very sensitive to the hostility of others towards Bai Wutong.
No matter who the other party was, Chu Tianbao would not be nice to anyone who dared to treat her like this.
If it were a few months ago, he would have drawn his sword.
Chu Tianbao’s eyes lit up as he held her hand domineeringly. “Wife, let’s go!”
Stunned, Bai Wutong smiled. “Okay.”
Tao Yinzhen was shocked and flustered. She did not expect Chu Tianbao’s attitude towards them to suddenly become cold.
Could it be that Bai Wutong had said something to Chu Tianbao?
Watching them leave, Little Cat looked at Tao Yinzhen sensitively. “Mother, am I hated by Master Chu?”
Tao Yinzhen’s heart trembled as she hugged Little Cat. “You are so sensible and smart. How could Master Chu hate you?”
