125 Providing for Two Scholars
She didn’t dare to look at Li Xiao and quickly looked away.
This man was too scary. He looked like a malicious ghost. She was afraid that she would have nightmares at night.
Only Lin Xiaoyue, that b * tch, would fancy such a person.
Although she was scared, she still had to say it.
!!
There were so many people here today. If they were really charged with trespassing and injuring others, her reputation would be ruined when the news got out.
She was already 16 years old. Normally, girls of this age would have been engaged or even married. Her mother was bent on finding a good husband for her, so she hadn’t married.
The matchmaker had introduced the Wu family in town, but there was the incident of the Liu and Lin family cutting ties.
Their family had spent a lot of effort to persuade the Wu family to go through with the engagement, but this happened again today.
If today’s matter was heard by the Wu family, the wedding would be canceled.
If she had known this would be the result, she would have stopped her mother.
It’s all her second sister-in-law’s fault for being so short-sighted. She couldn’t bear to see the Liu family doing well and forced her mother to come over.
She couldn’t stop her, and in the end, she was even convinced that she could ask the Liu family for dowry, so she came as well.
She was really regretting it now!
She should have known after what happened last time. The wretched girl and Liu Shi had both changed. They were not as easy to manipulate as before.
From the looks of it now, not only was she difficult to control, she was also extremely difficult to deal with!
Not only had they failed to get anything out of this, they even made a loss. They probably wouldn’t be able to find trouble with the Liu family and the wretched girl, so they had to handle this matter carefully.
“You didn’t give me any gifts, but you’re here to stir up trouble?” Suddenly, Xiao Qing, who had his head lowered, also came forward.
The young man’s attitude was calm, and he looked at Lin Lanhua with an imposing manner.
After that, he turned around and gave the village chief a scholar’s bow.
“Hello, chief.”
The village chief and Li Huaiyu were a little surprised.
This young man was a scholar?
Indeed, Li Xiao didn’t look like an ordinary person.
This young man, who had not shown his face much, was so gentle and refined that his temperament was not inferior to the young masters from scholarly families.
“Mm.” The village chief nodded in satisfaction.
“I heard from Yue’er that you used to study?” He asked Xiao Qing.
“I have learned a little from my master.” Xiao Qing replied.
The village chief and Li Huaiyu were stunned again.
Did he learn it from a master? An ordinary family wouldn’t be able to afford to hire a master.
The village chief wanted to ask about the details, but he stopped.
“Yue’er removed your slave status and even asked me about sending you and Xiaozhi to study at the Qingyun Academy after the autumn harvest.”
Xiao Qing was shocked. He looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
The surrounding people were also shocked.
It was already kind of the Liu family to allow Li Xiao and Xiao Qing to enter the household officially, but they wanted to send their son-in-law’s nephew to the academy?
The cost of studies was not low. Was the Liu family preparing to support two scholars?
Some people understood at that moment.
No wonder the village chief had taken a fancy to the Liu family.
There might be scholars in the Lin family in the future. If any one of them was successful, he would be different from the village bumpkins.
Why was the Lin family so unruly in the village, yet everyone still gave in to them? It wasn’t just because there were many men in their family, but also because one of their family members almost passed the scholar exam last year.
After all, scholars were different. They had more experience and a wide network. Everyone lived in the same village, and there was no telling when they would need to ask for help from others.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled at Xiao Qing and nodded.
