Chapter 301 Cheating
Chapter 301 Cheating
Lin Chang'er looked at Liu Zi with a puzzled expression, "Guard He is dedicated to his duty and strictly enforces the law, why should I be angry?"
Liu Zi chuckled, "The young lady is quite magnanimous!"
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "If all our guards, regardless of rank, could be like Guard He, that would be a blessing for the people!"
"I only suffered a few insults. I have done nothing wrong. I just treat those who are genuinely advocating for trafficked people as if they are insulting human traffickers."
"Those who hurl malicious insults, we will retaliate against them all!"
Liu Zi gave her a thumbs up, "You're right, young lady."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "It also broadens the children's horizons. You see, if you don't do good deeds, you won't even be able to enter the city gate. You'll be arrested at the city gate."
Liu Zi burst into laughter.
The children in the carriage, perhaps having heard it, burst into laughter.
Having witnessed much fighting and killing in Linshui Village on a regular basis, these children were not affected by the misunderstanding at all.
When we arrived at Xueqian Street and got off the bus, my brother was overjoyed, as if nothing had happened at the city gate.
Lin Chang'er and her group were left to stroll around at their leisure, while Liu Zi went ahead to the academy to look for someone.
Xueqian Street is the place where Lin Chang'er and Liu Zi escorted Li Xun back to the academy and encountered Gu Ziyan and Chen Zhao last time.
At the end of the street is Yunhai Academy. The little ones got off the bus and immediately saw the unique building.
"Mother, is that the academy?" The little goldfish stared intently in the direction of the academy without blinking.
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Yes! Little Goldfish, do you want to study here in the future? If so, you'll have to work even harder!"
The little goldfish pursed its lips. "Mom, our school is great too!" It's close to home, so we can study, learn martial arts, and help Mom take care of our younger siblings.
Lin Chang'er rubbed his little head, "If you want to go further, you still have to come to the academy!" Unless, she finds some great Confucian scholar.
Alternatively, the goldfish could follow Wu Qingfeng and be taught by him personally.
But official duties have already exhausted him, and it would be too much to ask him to teach a child as well.
Although he had mentioned before that he wanted to keep the goldfish with him to raise it.
But the goldfish didn't seem too interested either, plus the child was still young.
She didn't want her child to suffer so early; she wanted to wait until he was at least 7 years old!
Nine-year compulsory education also starts at age 7, so the hardships still have to be endured.
However, we can also assess Li Mian's abilities first. If their own primary school can produce a few outstanding students, that would be ideal.
The little goldfish didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.
Gu Xiaoman and Zhou Yi, the two little ones, had already exclaimed "Wow!" several times.
Of course, the two little ones weren't exclaiming "Wow!" at the academy, but rather marveling at the food on both sides of the street.
Large candied hawthorn skewers, sugar figurines, small animals made of flour, and clay figurines that children love most!
Gu Xiaoman and Zhou Yi passed by a small stall and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow!" saying that this was beautiful and that was pretty.
Lin Chang'er smiled along with her; the preschool street was indeed much more lively than when she last came.
She always doted on her children and wouldn't let them miss out, so she bought a big bunch of candied hawthorns, one for each of them, so no one had to envy anyone else.
Although she often brought food home before, this was the first time she had ever bought candied hawthorns. The other children had never even seen them before, only heard people talk about them.
Gu Xiaoman and Zhou Yi danced with joy, while the other children held the cups in their hands as if they were holding some precious treasure.
Gu Xiaoman took a big bite with a "whoosh," and mumbled between bites, "So delicious, so delicious!"
Zhou Yi imitated it, and his little mouth was so full he could hardly turn it.
Zhou Li stood to the side, mocking his little nephew. Zhou Yi looked aggrieved and said, "Auntie, Uncle is making fun of Xiao Bao..."
Lin Chang'er was amused and patted the little guy's head to comfort him, "Little Bao, eat slowly!"
Zhou Yi nodded.
Gu Xiaolu was also very happy. She and Li Qingning ate in small bites. The two girls were pretty and ate very politely.
The little goldfish tugged at its mother's sleeve and offered her its candied hawthorn, saying, "Mother, have some!"
Lin Chang'er was taken aback, not expecting her adopted son to be such a sweet and caring man.
She waved hers at him, showing him two of them, saying, "Mommy has some too, little goldfish, eat them all!"
"What belongs to Mother is Mother, and what belongs to Son is Son. Mother should eat Son's food first!" the little goldfish insisted.
Lin Chang'er agreed, took a small bite, and found it sweet and sour, stimulating all the taste buds in her mouth.
"Delicious!" Lin Chang'er gently held the candied hawthorn in the little goldfish's hand and brought it to his lips. "You have some too!"
The little goldfish smiled at her, took a bite, and then squinted its eyes, "Delicious, but a little sour!"
Lin Chang'er laughed, "It tastes best when it's sweet and sour!"
They also visited a sugar craftsman to see how he made sugar figurines and bought some small clay figurines before Lin Chang'er led the group of children to a restaurant.
Lin Chang'er led a group of children to the private room first, while Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba stayed downstairs to wait for Liu Zi to return.
Lin Chang'er ordered a table full of dishes suitable for children. It was already past the busiest time of lunch, and the restaurant served the food quite quickly.
The little ones were drooling, clapping their hands happily, and squealing as they looked at the table full of food.
But no one made a move.
Some people asked in hushed tones whether it was time to eat.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoman put on a stern face and lectured like a little adult, "We can only eat when everyone is here. Uncle Liu and the others haven't arrived yet!"
Little Zhouyi immediately chimed in, "Yes, we can only eat when everyone's here." That's how it usually is for them; they can only eat when their third aunt comes back.
The other kids just smiled and said, "Okay!"
Lin Chang'er was quite pleased that the children had such self-awareness.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Zi rushed in and knocked on the door, "Miss, Miss, something's happened!"
Lin Chang'er was taken aback. Seeing him covered in sweat and panting, she quickly poured him a glass of water. "What happened? Tell me slowly!"
Liu Zi took the water cup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then said, "Uncle, you and Young Master Gu have been reported for cheating, and now the matter has gone to the headmaster. The students of Yunhai Academy are clamoring to expel Uncle and Young Master Gu from the academy!"
Lin Chang'er frowned, "Cheating?"
Liu Zi nodded, and Lin Chang'er asked, "Did you see your maternal uncle and Young Master Gu?"
Liu Zi shook his head, "I can't see him, I can't see him at all. I only got the gist of it from the conversations between the students."
"Have you seen Chen Zhao?"
Liu Zi shook his head, "Young Master Chen stood in front of my maternal uncle and Young Master Gu to help explain, but there were too many people, and I couldn't squeeze in at all."
"It's not that I'm afraid of delaying things; I just heard the gist of it and came to ask you for your advice, young lady!"
