Chapter 375: He’s Out
Xie Qiao had come into contact with many ghouls, but this silly vengeful spirit was the first. Moreover, after becoming a vengeful spirit, it obediently guarded this small courtyard. Only this one knew how to forge iron.
She had no idea what this foolish younger brother of hers had done to upset Silly Mo.
She reckoned that if other timid and pitiful children had barged in, they would not have caused this house to collapse to such a state.
Now, she had to clear away those termites to prevent them from spreading to other places.
The entire Lin family was so anxious that they could not sit still.
The family could not fall asleep. They squatted at the entrance of their own small courtyard and waited.
After Xie Qiao came out of the broken courtyard, she saw that they were nervous. She could not help but console them, “That kid’s skin is rough and his flesh is thick. Earlier, I heard him shouting inside. It’s fine. I reckon that when the sun rises, he will be dug out.”
“Did you really hear him?” Grandpa Lin looked nervous.
“I won’t lie to you,” Xie Qiao nodded.
Grandpa Lin’s mentality had also changed at that moment, “Previously, I always wanted to acknowledge these two children as my kin. Now that I’ve really acknowledged them as my kin, such a big thing has happened after only raising them for two days. If something really happens, I don’t even know how to face my dead daughter.”
Xie Qiao could understand Grandpa Lin’s thoughts.
He had originally wanted to bring them home to personally teach them, but in the end, this person almost lost his life.
He did not know how much guilt he felt in his heart.
“Sir, don’t say that. I’ve watched him stay with you these past few days. He has indeed improved compared to before. If you wouldn’t dare to teach him in the future, then he might as well lie under that pit and not come out,” Xie Qiao’s words were a little vicious.
After the old man heard that, he frowned and looked at her.
“I’ve only been in the capital for a few months. When I got home, I found out that this kid used to be ignorant and incompetent. When he was about ten, he went to a brothel and was thrown out by the procuress. Some of the children in the capital who are as old as him already have a good reputation and would sit for the elementary scholar examination. As for him, he still doesn’t know all of the primers. I found him a teacher. On the surface, he is obedient, but secretly, he often speaks rudely about that teacher. If he doesn’t straighten things out, when his wings grow bigger in the future, it will be difficult to control him. In the future, if he becomes a scourge, he might as well die in there now,” Xie Qiao said seriously.
A brothel?!
Grandpa Lin was shocked.
After Xie Qiao finished speaking, she leaned against the door.
Seeing her pale face, Grandpa Lin thought this young lady’s words were harsh, but she must be worried about that kid.
“Your body is weak, so you can’t get worked up,” Grandpa Lin said quickly, “If they really fished him out, I will teach him. I will definitely teach him diligently.”
He went to a brothel…
How could he marry a wife in the future?
“Eldest Brother and I don’t expect him to be successful. Father is not the type to ace academically, so it’s impossible to expect him to do well. In the future, most of our family will have to follow the path of a military official. We have to let him be able to distinguish right from wrong and understand some military books…” Xie Qiao added.
In fact, the requirements could be lowered a little.
It was fine as long as he did not bring trouble to the family.
The Xie family was not popular in the past, and even Xie Pinghuai did not have many friends in the academy.
It was also thanks to this that even if he wanted to, he could not fight against the enemies.
Grandpa Lin was already thinking about how to teach this child in the future.
He was going to school and did not see much of him in a month, so he had to make good use of this time.
While Grandpa Lin was worried and anxious, the sun cast its first ray of light, seemingly driving away the remaining bad luck. Finally, someone shouted, “He’s out! He’s out!”
