Chapter 96 Rude
Liu fang did not expect Yun Zhu to actually take the Youtiao that she had painstakingly bought back home.
After Liu Fang took the Youtiao, she sneered at him, “You are so rude! Did your parents teach you how to steal?! You really have no shame!”
“You are the one being rude!” Yun Zhu retorted.
“What?! You stole from us and you are now trying to argue?!” Liu Fang said angrily. “You are a shameless old woman! Leeching off Yun Shan and my family is what you do all day.”
“Little Brat, how dare you call me an old woman, and point your finger at me!” Liu Fang thought that Yun Lin’s family must have had great financial difficulties, which was why the child was forced into this state. In view that the fried dough sticks were not yet eaten by him, she initially decided to let Yun Zhu off after some scolding. Yun Shan’s family could handle the rest.
However, she did not expect this little brat to be so daring and rude to her. He really did not know better.
“You’re shameless, yet you can’t allow others to say anything about you. You act like a vampire leeching off other people, everything I said was just the truth.” Yun Zhu did not show any signs of weakness and continued saying. “My Gosh, you damned child. I have to give you a good beating today.” Liu Fang said as she was about to make her move.
To hear such words from a child’s mouth, Liu Fang had a rough idea of how Ma Yan must had taught him behind their backs. She must have spoken ill of them, too.
“Mom.” Yun Lian stopped Liu Fang.
“Mom, it’s too embarrassing to hit a child. Let’s bring him to the village chief. I’m sure the village chief will definitely give us a reasonable verdict. Yun Lin’s family will compensate us for this matter.”
Perhaps it was because she just received a considerable amount of compensation thanks to the village chief, Liu Fang was elated when she heard this. She agreed with Yun Lian and put down her hand. No matter what, she had to bring Yun Zhu to see the village chief.
Yun Yang also had the same intention. He helped Liu Fang pull Yun Zhu up from the ground and they brought him to see the village chief.
“No! No! I’m not going!”
Yun Zhu struggled on the ground.
“Brat, you better behave yourself. Let me tell you, if we don’t get an explanation regarding this matter today, you will be kicked out of the Yun family.”
Liu Fang said hatefully.
“Yes, no matter how much you refuse, you still have to go.” This was a rare occasion where Yun Yang agreed with Liu Fang.
Just like that, Yun Zhu was dragged along by Yun Yang, Liu Fang, and Yun Lian, followed by Yun Xi. The five of them walked towards the village chief’s house.
Just then, Yun Lin and Ma Yan, who had been working hard in the fields all day, arrived at home. They did not see Yun Zhu when they entered the house. However, the two of them were already used to it. They thought that this child might have gone out to play somewhere and did not care too much.
The two of them sat down to take a break. Just as they were about to take a sip of water, Yun Qiao returned home.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back.”
Yun Qiao greeted Ma Yan and Yun Lin. She looked a little shy as she stammered.
“Dad, Mom, I saved some money as a helper for uncle Qiao’s family. I want to go to school with Yun Xi this year, but I’m still a little short of funds. The amount is really small, so I hope you can fulfill this wish of mine. I’ll help earn some money during the holidays.”
“What?! You actually saved some money secretly as a helper outside, and you didn’t tell me?” Ma Yan was very surprised.
Even if Yun Gang did not come to their house to make a fuss, and if Yun Lin did not foolishly lend out all the money, Ma Yan did not plan to let Yun Qiao go to school.
Between her two children, Ma Yan was obviously more biased toward the younger one. She always felt that the younger one was more like her in both appearance and character. She also wanted to save up the money for the younger son to study.
As for the eldest son… Yun Qiao had always been strong. He could earn money by working, and he would not starve to death even if he was left alone. In Ma Yan’s opinion, it would be great if he could support himself until he reached a certain age to find a wife.
However, she did not expect Yun Qiao to have a dream of going to school. “Child, we can look at this matter further and think about the long-term perspective. You put the money with me first, and I’ll take care of the rest.”
Ma Yan thought of swindling the money in the child’s hand first. She could always think of some ways to discourage him from studying
“But school is going to start in a few days! I have to pay my tuition fees now, or I’ll have to wait another year.”
Yun Qiao was a little anxious. He had already missed two years of opportunity. If he missed this year, he would really be too old to go to school.
