Daily life in the academy

"Coward, loser." The group of kids continued to mock, as if making fun of others was a great pleasure.

Yan Qingchen's expression froze. He stretched out his hand to intercept the small stone that was thrown at Xiaoyu again, and shot it at the knee of one of the children. The child was hit by gravity and fell flat on his face. When he got up and saw that his friends around him were also laughing at him, he immediately burst into tears, turned around and ran home, calling "Mom, Mom".

While the group of children were laughing at his friends, Yan Qingchen picked up a few small stones nearby. When one of the children threw them, everyone fell down.

"Get out of here now, or this won't just be a fall."

The group of children finally realized that it was the big fool who hit them. The fat child in the front burst into tears and cried out, "The fool hit me! The fool hit me!"

Then, there were cries and shouts one after another, and the children scattered and went home to find their mothers. Grandma was complaining.

When Yan Qingchen turned around to continue fetching water, he met Xiaoyu's eyes shining with admiration: "Big brother, you are so awesome. Can you teach me how you dealt with Dazhuang and the others just now?"

"I won't teach you." Yan Qingchen said coldly.

Xiaoyu uttered a disappointed "oh", but soon smiled and said, "Anyway, big brother is awesome, even better than little brother xiaofu. I'm starting to like big brother."

Yan Qingchen snorted, thinking who wants a little brat like you to like him.

Aunt Agui's husband left her two acres of land. She had no one to help and was the only one who was harvesting the grain. She worked alone with her head down and forgot the time. When she remembered that she still had two people to feed at home, it was already past noon. She quickly packed up and rushed back.

When I got home, I saw the two children happily together in the main room. When I got closer, I found the scar on Xiaoyu's forehead and asked him where the wound came from.

Xiaoyu just hugged Aunt Agui coquettishly, grinning with a missing front tooth, and said, "It's okay, Mom, I accidentally fell and hit it. Mom, go and see, big brother helped me chop all the firewood today, and he also filled the water tank. He's amazing, and he can also..." Almost revealing the truth, Xiaoyu raised her little hand to cover her mouth, and pushed Aunt Agui, who was full of doubt, towards the kitchen as if to cover it up: "Mom, go and see, are we amazing?"

"Okay, okay, go slower."

Auntie Gui went to the kitchen and saw that the firewood had indeed been neatly stacked and the water tank was full. She touched the little fish with satisfaction and squatted down to ask, "Did you and big brother make all this together?"

Little Fish patted his chest proudly and said, "Yes, big brother chopped wood, little fish stacked it, and then little fish took big brother to fetch water."

Aunt Agui felt that she had picked up a treasure and brought him home. Although the boy had some mental problems, at least he was strong and healthy, with all his hands and feet, and was able to work. She had more hope for the future.

Yan Qingchen was feeling very annoyed in the main hall at the moment. He had never suffered such hardship before. In the hot summer, not only was there no ice to cool him down, causing him to be covered in sticky and smelly sweat, but he was also unable to take a shower or change clothes. The little brat was guarding him very closely, and kept saying that he was wasting the water he had brought with great difficulty.

What a joke. The purpose of fetching water is to use it. How stupid.

He originally wanted to repay the favor he had done to the mother and son and leave quickly, but in this weather, every step he took would make him sweat profusely. Yan Qingchen was on the verge of collapse, so he sat motionless on a chair in the main room for the entire afternoon, ignoring everyone. Fortunately, there was a breeze from time to time to relieve the heat.

Farmers go out to work when the weather is cool and rest at home during the hottest time of the day. Around noon, Aunt Agui goes out to work in the fields again.

But as soon as she left, the group of children who had bullied Xiaoyu earlier seemed very dissatisfied. After returning home, they did not get support from their parents, and some were even pulled their ears and scolded. They felt even more dissatisfied, so they gathered a few more children. From the original five or six, there were now about ten people at first glance.

They dared to make trouble in Xiaoyu's yard openly, firstly, because the adults in the family were out working, and secondly, they would not be severely scolded even if they were discovered; after all, their parents often said that Aunt Agui's family had no man and would easily suffer losses.

A group of children came in from the main gate like monkeys coming down the mountain. Some children were causing trouble here, and some children were causing trouble there. And judging from Xiaoyu's defensive posture, this was probably not the first time.

Yan Qingchen curled his lips and watched coldly. Isn't this a typical case of a kind person being bullied? He was already angry, and just happened to be delivered to a bunch of radishes... then don't blame him for being rude.

After the adults returned home, they were tired after a day of work and had to listen to the crying children. They were so angry that they wanted to vent their anger on someone. So, about ten families decided to find the village chief and go to Aunt Agui's house to ask for an explanation.

The children had packed up an hour ago. As soon as Aunt Agui got home, a group of people came to the door with the village chief.

"Village chief, it's that idiot Aunt Agui has just taken in who beat up all our children. Even if he's a fool and doesn't know what's going on, he can't beat up so many children. I think he's a nuisance and he must be driven out of the village." The village woman who spoke was big and strong with a fierce look on her face.

Another woman standing next to her, with a sharp face, agreed, "That's right. I think Aunt Agui really thinks her silly son has lost his mind and invited such an evil star into the village. Village chief, you must make the decision for us and drive that lunatic out of the village. He is not welcome in our village." Her words were even more sarcastic.

Auntie Gui didn't know what these people were talking about or why they were suddenly so resentful, but she subconsciously protected Yan Qingchen and Xiaoyu behind her. She forced a smile and said to the village chief, "Village chief, I think there must be a misunderstanding. This child is usually very quiet and helped me with chores at home this morning. How could he gather so many people?"

"You still don't believe me?" The sharp-tongued, shoe-horn-faced village woman twisted her son out from behind. There was a scar on his forehead exactly like Xiaoyu's. She pointed at it and cursed, "He hit my good child with a stone and made him look like this. He's only injured now, but what if he kills someone in the future?"

When Auntie Gui saw the wound on the child's forehead, her eyes darkened for a moment. She gritted her teeth and raised her head again, smiling apologetically: "My fellow villagers, I think there must be some misunderstanding here..."

The woman didn't wait for Aunt Gui to finish her words and interrupted, "There is no misunderstanding, Village Chief, you have to give everyone an explanation."

The village chief puffed on his pipe, frowning, his skin furrowed with wrinkles from long frowning. He was already quite old. Seeing everyone looking at him, he tapped his pipe habitually and said in a hoarse voice, "Agui's family, I know you've been wronged these past two years, but this time you're truly in the wrong."
