Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"You guys get off the car? Go and call out those two troublemakers. Aren't they from the same village? We have to go and apologize to them.

Also, let Zilu and Xuzhou take care of the two classes of children. I estimate that I will be back in the evening, so don't delay your studies."

The ox cart first went back to Master Zhu's private school.

Master Zhu asked the children who came to help to go back first.

Called Sicheng and Ye Chao out.

And I made some simple arrangements for the household affairs.

After Sicheng and Ye Chao came out, they did not feel any guilt at all.

"Master~"

"Master Zhu~"

Master Zhu looked at the two of them with unconvinced expressions, but he actually had some admiration for them.

Boys with backbone may be more likable.

"You two should calm down a bit and apologize to the man's family when you get there. After all, you beat him up like this. No matter what the reason is, it's his fault. Do you hear me?"

Master Zhu only knew that the three of them were from the same village.

But I don't know the relationship between the two families.

After hearing this, Ye Chao and Er Cheng looked at Liu Zhongqiang, who was lying on the ox cart with his head swollen like a pig's head, and nodded with satisfaction, readily agreeing to Master Zhu's arrangement.

"I understand, Master~"

Getting an apology in exchange for a beating is not an easy thing.

If you want, let them fight a few more times and say a few more words of apology at the end, they will be happier.

The ox cart soon arrived at Kaoshan Village, and the Liu family was the first house at the entrance of the village.

The ox cart drove straight to the gate of the Liu family.

"One of you two should go and call your mother over first." Master Zhu said to Sicheng and Ye Chao.

The two people looked at each other, and both felt like they had done something bad and were about to be caught.

"Master, you don't have to call me mother, right?" Sicheng suggested in a low voice.

"Go quickly, don't make me say it again."

Master Zhu: Humph! If I don't call your mother over, who will give me the money for the medicine in the clinic? It's more than one tael of silver!

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation with Master Zhu, the two men started pushing each other, and finally Ye Chao went back to find Xia Shengsheng.

Master Zhu stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted a few times inside.

"Is anyone home?"

"Is Mrs. Liu here?"

After calling several times, someone came out of the room.

It was Liu Zhonghui who was covered in dirt.

These two days, Old Lady Liu has been lying on the kang and crying every day.

Sometimes he cried out in pain, sometimes he cried out for thirst, sometimes he cried out for hunger.

Liu Zhonghui was ordering them around in circles, and the Liu family and Liu Zhongsheng were not much better off.

They were all lying in bed, unable to move, and Liu Zhonghui was the only one who took care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

And now, Liu Zhonghui is also cooking in the kitchen.

I have never cooked in my life, but now even lighting a fire fills the whole house with ashes.

The brown rice used to cook porridge in the pot was the old rice that Xia Shengsheng had reluctantly taken and had finally left over.

Master Zhu saw that there was only one child and thought that the adults were not at home.

Ercheng knew what was going on, but there was a sound from this side.

Liu Zhonghui saw several people standing outside the door and was a little surprised that Ercheng came to his house.

And isn’t the other person Master Zhu who taught my second brother to read?

He had met Master Zhu when he went to the town to visit his second brother.

"Master Zhu? Why are you here?"

Because of the gate blocking the view, Liu Zhonghui did not see Liu Zhongqiang lying on the ox cart.

"This is Zhonghui, right? Where is your master?"

Liu Zhonghui looked back at the house and felt it difficult to say what he wanted to say, so he could only run over and open the door.

Only after opening the door could I see clearly the person lying on the ox cart.

Liu Zhongqiang had tears all over his face at this time. He finally saw his relatives and wanted to complain, but he couldn't.

Because my face was so swollen, it hurt so much when I opened my mouth that I could only stand there and cry.

"Brother? What's going on? Did something happen?"

Seeing that no one from the Liu family had come out yet, Master Zhu had to ask the ox cart driver for help, and they carried Liu Zhongqiang in together.

Ever since Liu Laoer passed away, Xia Shengsheng and several children were driven to the woodshed.

So the boys from the Liu family each have their own room!

Now, Liu Zhongqiang was carried back to his own room without delaying others.

"Zhonghui! You haven't told your parents yet? If they are not at home, it is better to find them. Zhongqiang was injured at my place, and I have to explain to your parents."

Zhonghui was vague and didn't know how to start.

The voice of Old Lady Liu was heard in the room.

"Zhonghui, you little brat, where have you been? Is the meal ready? I'm starving.

I think that Doctor Zhao is really incompetent. I feel so much pain all over my body. Ouch! When will I get better? "

On the other side, Boss Liu was also clamoring to go to the toilet.

There was shouting and cursing, and the whole yard was very lively.

Master Zhu didn't know what to say.

"This this……"

Liu Zhonghui could only say that the adults in his family were slightly injured and needed to recuperate for a while, so it was not convenient for them to come out for the time being.

Master Zhu didn't know what to say!

Just at this time, Xia Shengsheng was found by Ye Chao from the field. On the way there, he had heard Ye Chao's account of the whole process.

Xia Shengsheng didn't think the two kids had done anything wrong. It was Liu Zhongqiang's fault for being so mean!

But after all, someone was beaten up, and it happened at Master Zhu's place, so I had to come and take a look!

Liu Zhonghui was a little scared when he saw Xia Shengsheng coming over.

Xia Shengsheng ignored him and greeted Master Zhu directly.

"Master Zhu, I am really sorry to have caused you trouble. I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Master Zhu thought, as long as the silver is returned to me, it doesn't matter if it's a little troublesome.

"That's fine by me. Look, you've beaten this kid like this. You have to explain it to his family."

Master Zhu could not meet the adults of the Liu family, so he could only briefly describe the whole process to Liu Zhonghui.

Liu Zhonghui also knew his second brother's temper, and the words he cursed were often said by his grandmother.

Therefore, we know that Liu Zhongqiang was not wrongly beaten.

"Second Aunt, yes, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my second brother. Please don't pursue it any further, okay?"

Master Zhu was standing by and was very surprised. What? Are there any relatives?

Oh, by the way, Ercheng’s surname is also Liu, so they might be from the same clan.

But why should the one who was beaten apologize to the one who beat him?

It really left him a little confused.

Xia Shengsheng just nodded and didn't say much.

“Master, we will pay for the total amount of money spent at the clinic. I will explain this matter to the adults in their family later.

I am really sorry to trouble Master Zhu this time. I will educate the two children well after I return and will not embarrass Master Zhu."

You always have to say some polite words.

Looking at the current situation, Master Zhu couldn't tell the Liu family about letting Liu Zhongqiang drop out of school.

He had to exchange a few pleasantries with Xia Shengsheng and report the expenses of the clinic truthfully.

After receiving the silver, Ercheng and Ye Chao were told that they didn't have to go home in the afternoon. They could go to class the next day and then take the donkey cart that had just passed by back to the town.

Since they were all acquaintances, they could just handle the Liu family's affairs themselves, and he was happy to have some free time.

Xia Shengsheng did what he said and went to Old Lady Liu's room, intending to explain things to her.

But Old Lady Liu was so scared that she kept begging for mercy, thinking that Xia Shengsheng was coming to beat her again.

"Quiet!"

Xia Shengsheng couldn't speak, so he could only shout to make Old Lady Liu quiet down.

Only then can we talk about Liu Zhongqiang’s story.

"Ah? My Qiang'er? My Qiang'er is injured. I have to go and see him."

Old Mrs. Liu struggled to get up, but couldn't.

Xia Shengsheng rolled her eyes.

"I've told you what happened. If you want to investigate, come back to me after you've recovered from your injuries!

But please don't cause trouble for my two children. This matter is ultimately due to Liu Zhongqiang's bad mouth. Even if he doesn't get beaten today, he will suffer in the future.

This can be regarded as a lesson for him now, so that he knows what to say and what not to say in the future."

Old Mrs. Liu might have some trauma in her heart. Although she was very worried about her beloved grandson, she kept telling Xia Shengsheng that she would not pursue the matter.

After Xia Shengsheng finished explaining, he didn't care about Liu Zhonghui who was standing there alone and in a dishevel.

I took the two children back first.
