Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 971 Koi Heroine 35

Several grandchildren were anxious and said, "Grandma, didn't you tell us before that we need to study hard to have a bright future? Grandma, we want to go to school."

"Grandma, I ranked third in the class in the last exam, and the teacher praised me."

"Grandma, I want to study, I want to go to college, I want to get out of this stone village, wuwu, grandma, I don't want to stay at home to farm, I don't want to be a mud-legged person, and I don't want to be a stonemason for the rest of my life like my dad. I want to go to the city to be a worker, I want to be a high-ranking official, grandma, please let me go to school."

"Grandma, I'm already a sophomore in high school. Next semester I'll be a senior, and next year I'll take the college entrance exam. Grandma, aren't you looking forward to my admission to university? If you let me study for another year, I will definitely pass the exam and come back to make you famous wherever you go in the village."

……

Mrs. Yao had a stern face, as if she didn't hear her grandchildren's pleas. She said, "Starting tomorrow, you will get up at five in the morning and go to the fields with the third daughter-in-law. I will go to the fields to supervise you. If anyone dares to be lazy and not work, I will beat him with a carrying pole."

Mother Yao raised the carrying pole and swung it vigorously, her fierce gaze swept across the faces of her grandchildren, scaring Yao Jianming and the other cowards so much that they dared not say anything.

Yao Yuxia was unwilling to drop out of school. "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten that my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are your favorite grandchildren? How can you let them drop out of school and go home to farm?"

"Grandma, tell us, did someone say something in your ear, or did someone threaten you?" She said meaningfully.

"Yuxia, what do you mean?" Yao Jianming was shocked. "Are you saying that someone is threatening grandma to abuse us?"

Yuxia pursed her lips and said, "Second brother, I'm just guessing. Grandma used to like us the most, but since Second Uncle's family came back, Grandma has suddenly changed."

She explained, "Grandma was crazy before. She couldn't even recognize people and couldn't even urinate or defecate. After my second uncle and his family came back, Grandma's illness was cured. She recognized us and even knew how to urinate or defecate. But... she is even crazier than before."

Before, after the separation, grandma would beat people, but she would not use a carrying pole. She would just pull their hair and slap them on the face. Now, she almost never lets go of the carrying pole.

Yao Jianming and others also realized that something was wrong.

But in fact, Yao Dali and his brothers realized yesterday that something was wrong with Mrs. Yao. However, given Mrs. Yao's fighting power, what could they do despite their doubts?

"Then what should we do? Do we really have to drop out of school and come back to farm?" Yao Jianming said.

Yao Yuxia said, "How about we wait until our parents come back and ask for a few days off from school first?"

Yao Jianhua said, "There are still three days until the final exam."

Yao Yuxia, "Then take three days off. We must go for the final exam. Maybe after a while, grandma will be back to normal."

"That's all we can do."

Yao Jianming and several others followed Zhang Sanmei to work in the fields.

At this time, there was not much work to do in the fields.

The rice in the fields is golden and brilliant, but it is not yet time to harvest the rice. The grains are not yet fully ripe. The sesame seeds in the fields have only been planted not long ago, and the seedlings are only two inches long. It is not yet time for them to grow into seedlings.

Zhang Sanmei took them to the vegetable field, tilling the soil, watering, and weeding...

Zhang Sanmei asked Yao Jianming to fetch water for the vegetables.

Yao Jianming pretended not to hear. He picked a tender cucumber and squatted beside the vegetable patch to eat it.

A thud.

Suddenly, a carrying pole hit his back, followed by Mrs. Yao's scolding, "You unfilial thing, didn't you hear your third aunt asking you to fetch vegetable water? Are you deaf?"
