Chapter 1185: School Bullying (1)
When Ji Xiaomu came to the kitchen, she saw a half-grown young man who began to fill water, boil water, pour water, and fill empty kettles with boiling hot water with quick movements.
The last time she saw him, he was still small and thin. Now, after not seeing him for a while, Xiao Lei has grown so much taller and is now as tall as her shoulders?
"Dong...Dongjia!" A worried voice sounded behind her. Ji Xiaowu turned around and saw Wang Cuihua, who was nervous. Wang Cuihua thought she had done something wrong and hurried forward. "Did we do something wrong?"
"No, you guys did a great job." Mother Ji looked around. The teahouse was kept very clean, which showed that Xiao Lei and Wang Cuihua managed the teahouse very well.
Hearing Ji Xiaowu's praise, Wang Cuihua smiled shyly. "It's what we should do. If it weren't for the host's taking us in, we wouldn't have the good life we have today."
Her three sons were filial and obedient, she could make a living, and she no longer had to face that miserable family. She lived a very satisfying life every day in the teahouse.
"You fought for it yourself!" Ji Xiaowu said with a smile. "Your two sons can be enlightened now, right?"
"Have they caused trouble?" Wang Cuihua's face turned pale, thinking that they were the ones who caused trouble.
"No, they are very well behaved. I heard from upstairs that they seemed to want to learn to read and write. Now that you have settled down, you should be able to send them to school, right?" Fu Wenwen asked curiously.
Logically speaking, since Wang Cuihua has a livelihood now, she should be able to afford to send them to school, right?
"I..." When Wang Cuihua heard this, it seemed that she had something to hide and she couldn't say it several times.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Wang Cuihua seemed hesitant to speak, Ji Xiaomu took the initiative to ask.
"...Boss, the school doesn't accept common people like us." Wang Cuihua sighed and replied. "I sent Xiao Lei there before, but... he was kicked out after just a few days."
"Why?" Ji Xiaomu was even more confused.
"Because... we are poor people, Xiao Lei is looked down upon every day, and is targeted by those rich kids in school..." Wang Cuihua gritted her teeth. She had thought about giving her son a way out, but...
When Xiao Lei came home after a few days at school, she saw that his body was covered with bruises. When she asked him about it, he didn't say anything and just said that he was fine.
Two days later, her husband asked her to come over and said that Xiao Lei was not suitable for the college and asked her to take Xiao Lei back home.
Later she learned from Xiao Lei that he was targeted and ridiculed as soon as he entered the college. Because Wang Cuihua told him not to cause trouble, he did not dare to resist. However, those people became more aggressive and mocked Wang Cuihua. Xiao Lei could not stand it and fought with them.
When the teacher found out, he made him drop out of school.
Ji Xiaomu frowned, this was school bullying.
"Besides, the emperor is dead now, what's the point of studying..." Wang Cuihua lowered her head. The imperial court is gone, so what's the use of scholars?
Ji Xiaowu shook her head. "Studying is not just for becoming an official..."
Wang Cuihua glanced at Ji Xiaomu, and it was obvious that she didn't understand the use of reading.
Ji Xiaowu sighed. "You guys get busy!"
Wang Cuihua looked at Ji Xiaomu's back as she left, and thought that she had said something that made Ji Xiaomu unhappy...
After Ji Xiaomu returned home, Ling Wei was sent over by Chen Zihao. Seeing Ji Xiaomu's bitter face, Ling Wei asked in confusion, "Why are you looking so bitter? I just went out shopping with my man, and you're upset?"
