Chapter 175: Guest from Afar...Visiting Teacher Little Xu

At the end of August, with the summer heat still lingering, the weather remained hot and stifling, making people irritable. In the river of Dahe Village, countless bare-bottomed children splashed around every day.

Playing in the water was fun, but after returning home, no matter how clean the house was, if the mother noticed a white mark on her thigh from scratching with her fingernails, there was no need for further explanation. The child would receive a good beating.

"Letting you go to the river, letting you play in the water! Look at the kid next door, Gou Dan. He studies at home all day. He'll get into college and move to the city in the future. When that happens, while he's eating meat, you'll be eating bran! Don't come crying back to me and your father then, we've been scrimping and saving to send you to school." The more the mother scolded, the angrier she became, and she slapped her own child's buttocks a few more times.

The child cried out in pain, and through teary eyes, he saw his father returning home. He quickly sought his father's help, but before he could say anything, his father had already come over, saying, "This little rascal must have gone to play in the water again, you rest, I'll handle it."

The child: "Wuwuwu!"

What started as a solo performance turned into a mixed doubles match. After the scolding, the child went to study, holding his sore bottom, leaving his parents behind to talk quietly in the house.

"Our family is unlucky. The teacher says he's smart, but he just can't focus."

The mother was full of worries, wishing she could watch over her son's studies all day long.

"This kid just needs a good beating."

The father, rough and straightforward, believed in discipline: misbehaving kids needed to be punished until they learned their lesson.

"Girls are easier. They study on their own, no need for us to put in so much effort."

The woman sighed, surprising herself with these words. After all, she had put in a lot of effort to give birth to this son, in addition to her three daughters, one of whom was already married while the other two were away.

"Why are you bringing that up?" The man frowned, clearly not wanting to continue this conversation.

"Why can't I bring it up?" The woman's anger flared, "Back then, our third daughter, San Ni, had good grades and even won awards at school. If it weren't for your mother saying that girls going to school was useless and causing trouble all the time, making our San Ni do chores instead of studying, she wouldn't have gotten sick before the exam. Could she have failed to get into junior high?"

"You're blaming our mother now? She just wanted the kids to help out a bit, what's wrong with that? Don't make it sound like she intentionally made San Ni sick." The man glared at his wife, feeling a little guilty inside.

It's hard to explain what happened back then, but the child was indeed heavily burdened with tasks during that time, often going to school with unfinished homework, and tears in her eyes. As the father, he felt uncomfortable about it, but she was his mother, what could he say?

However, the woman's heart was stirred up by past grievances, and her eyes reddened as tears threatened to fall. "Do you know, deep down in your heart, she's also a woman. Why would she torture her granddaughter like this? If our San Ni succeeds, can she not be filial to her?"
