The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

94 Strike

As the saying goes, a child’s words carry no harm.

However, sometimes, the malice from a child was even more chilling.

Zhou Anfu and Zhou Anle were spoiled by Lai Jinniang. They were only seven or eight years old now. If no one corrected them in the future, they would turn out bad in the future.

Just as they were laughing at Zhou Junjun and saying that he would definitely not pass the entrance examination, the door of the study room was opened. Tutor Tang and Zhou Junjun walked out of the study room together.

!!

It was obvious that the tutor was smiling.

“It seemed that the results were not bad.”

That was what Zhou Xiaoli thought.

Tutor Tang said, “Rest time is over. Go back to class and revise the poem I just taught you. I want to check your progress later.”

Since the teacher had spoken, the students immediately bowed respectfully and walked towards the classroom.

“Zhou Anfu, Zhou Anle, come here.”

Although the two boys were spoiled by Lai Jinniang, they were still instinctively afraid of the Tutor.

At this moment, when they heard the Tutor had called for them, they obediently walked over and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Tutor Tang said, “You two didn’t listen to me at all when I taught you how to be a gentleman! In that case, I’ll punish you to go to the back of the school and reflect on your mistakes.”

Clearly, he had heard what had just happened outside.

Zhou Anfu and Zhou Anle did not dare to make a sound. Although they were not convinced by the reason given, they obediently went to stand as punishment.

After that, Tutor Tang’s gaze fell on Zhou Xiaoli and he asked, “I heard from Zhou Junjun that you taught him how to calculate numbers and the Three Character Classic?”

Zhou Xiaoli didn’t expect Tutor Tang to ask her this question out of the blue, so she hurriedly replied, “Yes, that’s right. Brother Jun started his enlightenment late, so I casually taught him a little in my spare time.”

Tutor Tang’s eyes lit up. “The ‘Vertical Calculation Method’. Was this a calculation method you came up with?”

Hearing this question, Zhou Xiaoli suddenly understood what had happened.

It was careless of her. She did not know if this world uses the vertical calculation method.

At that time, she had taught this to Zhou Junjun without much thought.

It was obvious that he had seen Zhou Junjun use it to calculate when he was testing Zhou Junjun.

She immediately shook her head. “No, no. When I was young, I met an old man on the mountain. He taught me this.”

Afraid that Tutor Tang would get to the bottom of it, Zhou Xiaoli added, “But that old man disappeared after that, and I couldn’t find him again.”

Upon hearing this, a look of regret appeared on Tutor Tang’s face. He sighed with emotion. “I think that old man must be a great talent. Unfortunately, I can’t meet him. This vertical calculation is an extraordinary method!”

He thought of something and asked, “Can I teach it to other students?”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded. “Of course. I can give you all the formulas.”

Zhou Xiaoli agreed without hesitation, which made Tutor Tang like her even more.

Not only was this girl lively, but her attitude was also extraordinary!

Then, he sighed. It was a pity that she was a girl. If it was a boy, he would have taken her in no matter what.

He immediately nodded. “Alright, I’ll find a time and go to your house to ask you for guidance.”

As such, Zhou Xiaoli had a better impression of Tutor Tang.

She was his junior in terms of age, but Tutor Tang was willing to take the initiative to ask her for guidance. It was obvious that he was virtuous.

At this moment, Tutor Tang started talking to Zhou Yu. “You have brought up your two children well. Well, how about this? You don’t have to wait until next month’s school enrollment period. When you go back, find a day and bring your child to complete the official registration.”

Zhou Yu was excited when he saw that his son could enter school immediately and that his two children were praised by the teacher. He bent down even lower and kept thanking the teacher.

Zhou Xiaoli saw that Zhou Yu had obviously forgotten about the presence of Landlord Wan. Seeing that he did not mention it for a long time, she asked, “Tutor Tang, do you need us to inform Landlord Wan about my brother’s admission?”

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s question, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered and immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Do we need to meet Landlord Wan?”

Tutor Tang smiled. “There’s no need for that. The final decision of student enrollment into the school lies with me. Landlord Wan is not in charge of the running of the private school. I’ll let him know when the time comes.”

Zhou Yu immediately thanked him again.

Tutor Tang still had classes to teach so it wasn’t appropriate for them to disturb him further. After making an appointment with Tutor Tang to teach him the vertical calculation formulas, the three of them left.

Zhou Yu was still grinning even after the donkey cart had stepped out of Dazhuang Village.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s silly look, Zhou Xiaoli was overjoyed. “Father, if you don’t close your mouth, the flies might fly in.”

Zhou Yu was overjoyed. “Haha, you don’t know how happy I am. Brother Jun, when you go to school in the future, you have to study well under the Tutor’s tutelage, understand?”

Zhou Junjun immediately nodded. “Yes, yes. Don’t worry, Father. I’ll definitely study hard!”

Zhou Yu laughed sheepishly for a while. He then thought of something and could not help but ask in a worried manner, “Ah, right, Li’er, what’s the situation between you and the village chief’s youngest son? Did you quarrel?”

Zhou Yu must have been worried about her bickering with Zheng Yongyan in the private school today.

She immediately laughed. “No, Father, don’t worry. I didn’t quarrel with him. That kid just likes to bicker with me.”

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s words, Zhou Yu felt relieved.

He had a good relationship with the village chief. It wouldn’t be good if their children quarreled as it may hurt their relationship.

As they chatted and laughed, the three of them drove the donkey cart slowly towards the village.

—

After going around a pond, the donkey cart made a turn and they could see the entrance of their village from afar.

Zhou Xiaoli had good vision, so as soon as she turned the corner, she saw a group of people gathering in front.

After taking a closer look, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Eh? Father, isn’t that our and Wei Chiyu’s homestead? What’s going on? Why are there so many people surrounding it?”

...

Zhou Yu also noticed it and could not help but worry, so he sped up.

Soon, the donkey cart arrived at the entrance of the village.

Sure enough, that group of people was surrounding their homestead.

The construction workers were no longer building houses. They were simply standing around and whispering to each other. Foreman Cao was not here either.

Zhang Lan was agitated and arguing with a burly man in his thirties.

Lin Xiujuan and Liu Yan chimed in from time to time.

Liu Liangcai stood in front of the burly man, looking like he was about to fight.

The two sides quarreled passionately.

Zhou Yu couldn’t care less about tying the donkey cart up. When he arrived, he jumped down from the donkey cart and immediately rushed over to protect Zhang Lan.

Seeing that Zhou Yu had returned, Zhang Lan instantly had someone to rely on and felt confident. She scolded the burly man with confidence.

Zhou Xiaoli followed closely behind. She quickly jumped off the donkey cart and walked over.

...

“Mother, what’s going on?”

Before Zhang Lan could explain to her, the surrounding people who were watching the commotion explained the ins and outs of the matter.

This dark, burly man in his thirties was Foreman Cao’s cousin, Cao Liu.

This afternoon, when Foreman Cao returned home, he met a group of people who beat him up indiscriminately.

Now, he had been brought to the county city to see a doctor.

After that, Foreman Cao’s cousin came looking for trouble.

They incited the construction workers to use this as a threat to demand that Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu give the workers twice the salary, or they would go on strike.
