“He’s a half-baked teacher who misguides the children. I have to say something. ”

“I like it when he misguides my family. Alright, you ‘re really full of yourself. Don ‘t you know what you’ve done? Do you still have the face to come to my stall and cause trouble? Where did the refined manners of a scholar go? How can you be so thick-skinned?”

“You! You! You!”

” I’m already giving you face by addressing you respectfully as Teacher Lin. You listened to the slanderous words of others and announced to the public that you won ‘t accept students for the time being. Who are you targeting?”

“If you want to buy something, I welcome you. If you want to find trouble with me, I’m not afraid. Why don’t we go to the mayor and have a discussion?”

“There is only one school in town, but in this great dynasty, there are ten million schools. If you don ‘t accept students, there are people to accept. Just because someone asked you to, you targeted my child. You’re not worthy of being a teacher. ”

“Wow, have you grown up and dared to offend anyone?”

“I’m telling the truth. What’s wrong? You don ‘t accept students, so I’ll find someone who can read to teach my son. What did I do wrong? Everyone, what do you think? They are the only private school in town, but they don’t accept students. My son wants to study, so is it wrong for me to find someone who knows how to teach my son?”

“That’s right. Isn’t it very reasonable?”

“That’s right. It’s a very reasonable thing. Why does it become unreasonable when it comes to Teacher Lin?”

“You, I, I can’t explain it to a woman like you. ”

Shopkeeper Lu finally understood that Teacher Lin was backing Tian Yaozu up by not accepting students.

He wanted Qiao Mai to lower her head and bring her child to visit him personally. At the same time, he wanted to be a peacemaker and reconcile the grievances between the Tian family and her.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Mai did not care about this at all and directly found Yuan Jiaqi, who was nothing to him, to teach the child.

Teacher Lin felt that his reputation had been damaged, so he came to argue with Qiao Mai.

There was definitely something fishy about this. The Tian family must have instigated it.

Lu Sanniang looked into the distance and found Tian Yaozu in an inconspicuous corner.

Qiao Mai also felt something. She followed Lu Sanniang’s gaze and saw that b*stard. He had not learned anything else at such a young age, but he actually used such despicable methods.

As soon as the mayor arrived home, someone had already gone to get him. He was so angry and went to Qiao Mai’s stall.

“Teacher Lin, why are you making a ruckus in front of a woman’s stall? Don ‘t forget that you ‘re a scholar with a reputation. ”

“Mayor, me?”

“I heard about this. Aren ‘t you being too petty? Madam Qiao has money. Even if she throws it on the road, what can you do? The children in the countryside are illiterate since they were young. ”

“Why don’t you teach her children? Why are you targeting a divorced woman like her? Don’t forget that she had saved two children who were not related to her by blood at all. ”

” She’s willing to spend money to hire someone to teach her child, but what about you? If you have the time, why don ‘t you go back and teach your students well? Why are you coming here to make a scene?”

The mayor was really angry. Regardless of whether there was anyone present, he bombarded Mr. Lin.

“Mayor, what?”

” She was kind enough to adopt two children and let them read. She spent her money. Why didn’t you stand up when the children begged for food on the road?’ ,

Teacher Lin was not as old as the mayor, so he could only listen to the mayor’s scolding and did not dare to say anything.

“I’m sorry, mayor. I was wrong. I was the one who panicked when I heard about this. ”

“Hurry up and go back to teaching. This isn’t a place you should be. You ‘re already a grown-up, but you don ‘t have any ideas of your own. ”

“Yes, Mayor. I’ll go back now. ” Teacher Lin lowered his head and left with a red face.

” Let’s go, all of you. If you block here and startle the carriages of the nobles on the road, you won’t be able to bear it.”

The crowd dispersed. Tian Yaozu gritted his teeth in the distance and chased after Teacher Lin angrily.

The mayor glared at Qiao Mai. “You only know how to cause trouble for an old man like me every day. I’m already old, but I still have to deal with your matters every day. ”

Seeing the mayor glare at Qiao Mai, Shopkeeper Lu immediately glared back.

“You should come out more often when you ‘re old. Be careful not to sit all the time. ”

“You ‘re just protecting the girl. ”

“It’s not my sister’s fault. He’s the one who went crazy and came to find trouble. ”

“That’s true. What’s wrong with Teacher Lin? He used to be such an honest person. Why is he so unreasonable now?”

” Someone instigated it. ”

“Who is it?”

“Keep pretending. Don’t you know? It’s that Tian Family kid who doesn’t get along with Qiao Mai. ”

“I understand. He doesn’t study hard every day, and his brain is only used for this. Teacher Lin thinks he’s a good person, but I don’t think he’ll even be able to pass the exam. ”

The mayor clasped his hands behind his back and turned to leave.

Shopkeeper Lu poked Qiao Mai’s arm. “Sister, why don ‘t you go back and say hello to Yuan Jiaqi tonight?”

“What greeting?”

“I think that the Tian family kid’s first plan didn’t work, so I’m afraid he’ll come up with another one. He probably doesn’t want Fengyun and Yunfeng to study. If Teacher Lin couldn’t deal with you, will he go to Yuan Jiaqi? He was indebted to him back then, right?”

“He shouldn’t be that shameless, right?”

“He’s already shameless enough to do this today. Why does he still care about looking for Yuan Jiaqi?”

“Alright, I’ll ask Big Brother Yuan tonight. ”

In the afternoon, after Qiao Mai closed the stall, she returned home and saw Yuan Jiaqi there.

When he saw her return, he helped her move her things into the courtyard and then sat on the bench. He was at a loss and did not know what to say.

Qiao Mai knew that he might need her help, so she sent Fengyun and the others away.

“Big Brother Yuan, if you have something to say, just say it. I like people who are straightforward. ”

“You must have seen what happened this morning. My parents came to town more than once to cause trouble for me and Chuan ‘er. No matter where I moved to, they could find out. ”

“Yes, and then?”

Yuan Jiaqi took a deep breath. “I want to get rid of them. I want to give my child a good living environment. Please help me, Madam Qiao. ”

Qiao Mai frowned. “How can I help you?”

“I want to marry into your family. Is that okay?”

“Become a live-in son-in-law?” Qiao Mai was a little surprised.

“Yes.”

“But I don’t want to get married. ”

“Listen to me. We’re just pretending to get married. As long as you let me get rid of the Yuan family, you can divorce me after everything calms down. You can do whatever you want, okay?”

“Just a formality?”

“Yes.”

“I have to think about this carefully. ”

“You can’t think about it anymore. There’s no time. If I stay any later, they’ll book me a girl from that family. I’m really at my wit’s end. Without a family separation or household registration, the child and I can ‘t go anywhere. ” “Why did you choose me? Madam Chen is also single, right?”

“You’re strong, brave, hardworking, capable, and unafraid of rumors. Madam Chen isn ‘t. She’s a traditional woman and can’t accept these things. You can. The key is that my Chuan ‘er likes you.”

“This is too much help. What benefits can I get?”

Yuan Jiaqi blushed. “I’m very diligent. You don’t have to worry about family matters. I can do everything. I can cook well, but it’s not as delicious as yours. I can also earn money, but not as much as you. I can copy a book every three days and earn two to three hundred copper coins, so I can earn two to three taels of silver a month. In the future, I’ll teach the children. You don’t have to give me any gifts. ”

“It sounds like I’ve saved two taels of silver, but if my family wants to vacate a room, where will my quails live?”

“I’ve seen the chicks you raise. There are some parts that don’t make sense. It’s better to put them into wooden boxes and put them on the shelves to save space.”

Qiao Mai nodded. “Alright, then two taels of silver will be your and Chuan’er’s living expenses. You have to work hard to earn money in the future. My family’s living conditions are quite good, so two taels of silver is not enough.
