Teacher Jiang suggested earnestly, "Don’t be in a hurry to scold Jing Kong, his behavior against Teacher Sun is certainly wrong, but he never brought up your name from beginning to end just to back himself up. He’s still different from those spoiled kids."
"Many thanks, Teacher Jiang. I'll go and talk to him." Xiao Liulang thanked Teacher Jiang sincerely, then apologized to Teacher Sun and turned to the classroom to bring the little guy out.
"Spill it, why exactly did you bully Teacher Sun?" Xiao Liulang asked.
The two of them stood behind a big tree, and the thick trunk properly blocked their figures.
Little Jing Kong said seriously, "Brother-in-law, your words are not right! How can this be called bullying? He taught us the wrong thing. He’s not knowledgeable enough, but instead of asking humbly for advice, he refuses to admit it. Doesn’t he know that there’s always something you can learn from others? If it’s wrong it’s wrong, is it hard to just admit it? Knowing your mistakes can also make you improve a lot! Even the hermit of Xiangshan who is versed in writing poems knew to read it to the shepherd boy and the old woman first. He would never look down on children!"
He even knew how to quote a story into his reasoning.
At first, Xiao Liulang was quite angry, but when he heard this, he felt like laughing all of a sudden. Perhaps this was the difference between the child of his family and other family’s children. He clearly knew that he was in the wrong, but at the same time, he was pleasantly surprised by his every progress.
Xiao Liulang: "Who told you the story of the hermit in Xiangshan?"
Little Jing Kong grunted, "Granduncle."
You sure knew how to apply what you learned, huh? Very good.
However, Xiao Liulang still knew him very well. This kid was just really bullying people. He said, "This isn’t the reason why you bully Teacher Sun in public, right? Are you going to tell me yourself right now, or shall you say it in front of JiaoJiao later?"
As soon as Gu Jiao was mentioned, Little Jing Kong faltered.
Xiao Liulang was very good at poking people's weaknesses. Having been seen through by him, Little Jing Kong obediently explained the motive for his misbehavior.
The root cause of the incident turned out to be the day when Little Jing Kong brought his baby falcon to school. As a result, it almost bit Qin Chuyu's little brother. At that time, Teacher Sun didn't defend him like Teacher Jiang did, but instead timidly handed him over to the other party.
He was very disappointed in Teacher Sun, and since then he felt that Teacher Sun wasn’t worthy to be his teacher.
Xiao Liulang really didn't expect the little guy to hold such a grudge.
Xiao Liulang weighed his words before telling him, “It's true that Teacher Sun did something wrong. He shouldn't have bowed down to power. However, have you ever thought that not everyone must be as brave as Teacher Jiang?"
"Why not?" Little Jing Kong was puzzled.
Xiao Liulang didn't know how to explain it to him. Perhaps because he was surrounded by extremely brave people so it gave him a set perception that all people should be righteous, brave and fearless.
But in fact, self-preservation was also a human instinct.
One day, he would leave Gu Jiao, leave home and venture out to a wider place. He would then find that people like Teacher Sun were the ones he would meet the most.
Teacher Sun had no intention of harming him, and he was sincerely working hard to teach him. To be fair, Teacher Sun was an excellent teacher in all aspects, except for his incompetence in dealing with the baby falcon incident.
Xiao Liulang patted his little bald head, saying, "You can be a little more demanding of yourself, but you have to be a little less demanding of others."
"Why is that?" Little Jing Kong still didn’t understand.
Xiao Liulang thought for a moment and said, "Because they may not be as excellent as you."
This was the first time his bad brother-in-law complimented him. The countless words of arguments that Little Jing Kong had prepared were suddenly stuck in his throat.
His throat felt dry, his palms were hot and his cheeks were flushed.
"I, I, I, of course I'm excellent! Do you still need to tell me that?"
The little guy looked up at the sky and walked away with the same hands and feet!
Finally, under Xiao Liulang’s mediation, Little Jing Kong came to Teacher Sun and apologized for offending him.
In fact, he was still a little aggrieved, thinking that he was right about the Zu rate.
Teacher Sun accepted Little Jing Kong's apology. Just when he thought Xiao Liulang was finally going to take the little bastard away, Xiao Liulang suddenly said in a serious tone, "I will try to calculate and verify the value of Zu rate. If Jing Kong is right, then I hope Teacher Sun can apologize to Jing Kong too, because you wronged him."
As soon as these words came out, Teacher Sun was stunned on the spot.
The teacher apologizing to the student? How could that be possible?
How could anyone stand up for a child like this?
Also, he was going to calculate the Zu rate himself? Was he crazy? Who did he think he was?
Even Little Jing Kong didn't expect his bad brother-in-law to say that.
His bad brother-in-law surely didn’t know whether it would be difficult for him to calculate the Zu rate or not, yet he was still willing to believe him.
Teacher Sun gradually recovered from his shock. He didn't believe at all that Xiao Liulang could calculate the Zu rate beyond the seven fractional digits, so he accepted the bet without any pressure.
After getting into the carriage, Little Jing Kong said with pouted lips, "What if I'm wrong?"
Xiao Liulang didn't care much as he said, "Then I'll just apologize to Teacher Sun. What's the big deal?"
But wasn't that a big deal? It would be embarrassing.
Little Jing Kong was silent for a moment, then suddenly moved closer to Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang looked at him askance, "What's wrong?"
Little Jing Kong took a deep breath, clenched his small fists tightly, and said with a sense of self-sacrifice, "I will let you hug me."
For his bad brother-in-law to stand up for him like this, he must have lost himself to his charms. He must like him so badly!
Then, then he shall sacrifice himself for a bit!
Xiao Liulang looked at a certain someone as though he was looking at a weird creature.
...... Thanks, but I don't want to hug you.
When Xiao Liulang and Little Jing Kong returned to Bishui Alley, Gu Jiao, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were not home yet. Gu Jiao, who was busy in the medical hall, received a request for a house visit and made a trip to the patient’s home, while Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were still taking their craftsmanship lessons at their master's house.
During dinner at their master’s house, Gu Yan felt that there was something amiss about the way their master’s wife looked at Gu Xiaoshun. He tried to say something to Gu Xiaoshun a couple of times, but unfortunately, the simpleton Gu Xiaoshun was so engrossed in eating that he did not notice his signals at all.
After getting on the carriage back, Gu Yan asked Gu Xiaoshun, "Don’t you feel that master’s wife has been treating you differently recently?"
Gu Xiaoshun was taken aback and said, "Huh? What's different? Does she not like me anymore?"
Gu Yan commented inwardly: Obviously, she likes you too much.
That naked look in her eyes was as if she wanted to pack you up and take you back to their house, never letting you out again!
Gu Yan said seriously, "I think master’s wife has a crush on you. You should be careful, I'm afraid master will be jealous and retaliate against you."
Gu Xiaoshun:“…”
