Chapter 118: Teacher

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong stopped in his tracks. Gu Yunke grabbed her hand nervously.

The voice from the corner was still there. At this moment, another thin and childish voice sounded. “Teacher, I just want to help my family do some work. My family is in trouble now. Father injured his hand, so the work in the field is slow. 1 think…”

“Think, think, think, what are you thinking?” The teacher interrupted him sternly. “I told you long ago that we are scholars. The hands of scholars hold pens and write. Look at how rough your hands are now? If you use your hands to flip through books, you can cut the pages.”

Gu Yundong frowned. What was this guy saying?

However, the Master seemed to get angrier as he spoke. “If your family is in trouble, won’t other families be in trouble? If you lack money, you can borrow it from the Master. Why are you going to the fields? If you want to help your family, you can go and copy books. Will the Master stop you?”

The student lowered his voice even more. “There are too many students copying books in town. My handwriting isn’t good. The price given by the bookstore owner is too low.”

“What’s the reason for your poor handwriting? It’s because you took your hands, which should have been holding a pen, to pick up a hoe. You’re a scholar. A scholar should do his job. Have you completed the homework I set up every day? You still have the mood to go to the fields. It seems that you’ve read too little.”

“Master, I…”

“Alright, alright. I don’t want to hear it from you. This matter will only happen once. There won’t be a next time. Study hard and don’t worry about anything else. You’re very talented in studying. I believe that you’ll definitely be able to pass the Tongsheng exam next year. Alright, go back.”

The student did not say anything else and walked out with his head lowered. He did not seem to be in a good mood.

The teacher also came out. When he saw Gu Yundong and his family, he was slightly stunned. Then, his expression turned ugly.

After the student left, he looked at the gatekeeper. “What’s going on? Who are they? Why are they brought here?”

“Master, this family’s surname is Gu. They want to send their children to school.”

The teacher glanced at them and quickly looked away. He frowned and said, “Where are the men in the family? Didn’t 1 tell you long ago that if there are women coming over, they will be brought to the madam’s place? You ignored my words. If word gets out that this woman and I are alone in the same room, won’t my reputation be ruined?”

Gu Yundong was speechless. She did not know if she should say anything.

The gatekeeper hurriedly explained, “This Miss Gu is the only one in the Gu family who can make decisions. Her father is not around. Madam left early in the morning, so I brought her in. The children of the Gu family know how to read, so Old Master can teach them…”

“Since when is it your turn to tell Old Master what to do? So what if they know how to read? Even if they know how to read, you can’t bring them to Old Master. Madam isn’t here today, so let them come another day.”

With that, the teacher flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. He did not even speak to Gu Yundong and the others.

The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched violently. The gatekeeper was also depressed. He had only brought them in after receiving a few copper coins. He did not expect the old master to reprimand him.

The smile on his face immediately disappeared. He said to the few of them in a low mood, “You heard it too. Let’s go, let’s go. Come back another day. 1 told you long ago that the women are all entertained by the Madam.”

Gu Yundong exhaled slowly. She held Gu Yunke’s hand and left.

Madam Yang and Gu Yunshu hurriedly followed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the door, two women came up to them.. One of them looked a little… familiar?
