n128 Xiao Qing’s Knowledge

nOld Madam Lin also wanted to leave. When the village chief came, she did not want to stay here anymore.

nShe had no choice. Last time, the village chief had warned her husband and threatened to drive them out of Daishi Village. Later on, Lin Dachui, that useless bastard, even slapped her twice.

nIf this matter were to blow up again, and the village chief got someone to call Lin Dachui over, things would probably get worse.

n“Why are you still standing there? They don’t welcome us, let’s leave!” Old Madam Lin stomped her walking stick and let Deng Shi support her as she left.

nLin Lanhua looked at Lin Xiaoyue angrily, feeling a little indignant.

nHowever, Old Madam Lin and Deng Shi were leaving. There was no point in her staying.

nShe could only snort and chase after Old Madam Lin and Deng Shi.

nJiang Shi was kicked twice by Lin Xiaoyue, and her body was in great pain.

nShe wanted to at least extort some money from Lin Xiaoyue.

nBut her “teammates” had all left, and she couldn’t win against Lin Xiaoyue on her own. She could only swallow her pain and followed them.

nAfter they left, Lin Xiaoyue turned around and let everyone take their seats, saying that they would start serving the dishes immediately.

nThen, she went to the kitchen.

nLi Xiao led the village chief and the rest to their seats.

nThen, he asked the village chief to help host the housewarming.

nThe food prepared by the Liu family was very sumptuous. Meat dishes took up more than half of it, and there was even wine.

nLi Xiao toasted each table, and the guests were happy.

nAfter the meal, some women stayed behind to help the Liu family wash the dishes.

nLin Xiaoyue asked everyone to come again in the evening.

nLi Xiao asked Li Huaiyu to go to the room in the front yard and then called Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi over.

nThen, he asked Wang Shuanzi to send the borrowed tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks back to their respective homes.

nWhen the front yard was tidied up, Li Xiao saw Li Huaiyu, Xiao Qing, and Lin Xiaozhi coming out of the room.

nTo his surprise, Li Huaiyu’s attitude was completely different from before. He was very polite to Xiao Qing. The two of them chatted and laughed as if they had become good friends.

nBefore Li Huaiyu left, he even bowed to him.

n“What’s going on?” Li Xiao asked his nephew.

nXiao Qing smiled.

n“Brother Huaiyu admires Xiao Qing’s knowledge and wants to be his friend!” Lin Xiaozhi said.

n“Qing’er is really amazing. When Brother Huaiyu asked him a question just now, he answered it without much thought.”

n“Brother Huaiyu who said that Qing’er answered eloquently,. Even he felt ashamed.”

n“After that, Brother Huaiyu’s attitude towards Qing’er changed. He said that he wants to be friends with him.”

nIn the evening, there were only two tables left. They ate the leftovers from lunch and two simple dishes.

nAfter dinner and seeing off the enthusiastic villagers, the Liu family’s housewarming was finally over.

nLi Xiao was a little surprised as he looked at Xiao Qing.

nHe knew that Xiao Qing had been taught by a famous teacher, but he was only 12 years old. Was he that good?

nXiao Qing smiled and nodded.

n“Huaiyu said that I have no problem entering the academy. When I get there, I should be able to enter the special class immediately and prepare for the junior examination next year.”

nHe had never thought of taking the scholar’s examination.

nBut today, he found out that Lin Xiaoyue was going to send him to the academy. After thinking about it, this might be the most suitable path for him.

nHe couldn’t help with anything else in this family anyway.

nIf he could pass the imperial examination and gain some fame, he would be able to protect this family.

n“Hmm.” Li Xiao responded. Surprisingly, he didn’t look happy. Instead, he frowned.
