After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

In the afternoon, Lin Fan brought a lot of meat, rice and noodles from home, filled a basket to the brim, and went to Old Man Chu's house.

Old Man Chu was surprised that Lin Fan actually came, and his expression was somewhat helpless.

Lin Fan's reason was quite plausible, and he really couldn't refuse. However, he had already made up his mind that he would leave these things here and would absolutely not eat or use them. In any case, he couldn't accept other people's kindness for no reason.

But he was unwilling to become a tutor at Lin Fan's house. He figured that once Lin Fan persisted for a while and found that these methods were useless, he would give up on his own.

Thinking of this, Old Man Chu decided to ignore Lin Fan, lay down on his small, shabby bed, turned over, and pretended to sleep.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled and didn't pay any attention. He put the things down and left quickly without lingering, which surprised Old Man Chu.

What surprised him even more was that Lin Fan came again early the next morning, this time not alone, but with Xiuying by his side.

Upon seeing Xiuying, the old man couldn't help but smile slightly.

This little girl is bright, kind, obedient, sensible, and very smart; she's a promising student.

It's a pity that he's currently reluctant to take on students for some reason; otherwise, he wouldn't mind teaching her something.

"Girl, tell your uncle not to waste his time."

Old Man Chu squatted down and patted Xiuying's head, speaking with a kind expression.

Xiuying looked at Grandpa Chu in front of her, and then remembered her uncle's words. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

This happened so suddenly that Old Man Chu was stunned.

Xiuying didn't know how she did it, but she just started crying. She sat there with big tears streaming down her cheeks. It couldn't have been more real.

"Hey, girl, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"Young man, what's wrong? What is your niece trying to do? Come over and comfort her."

Old Man Chu stood to the side, at a loss. He turned his head and saw that Lin Fan seemed not to have seen Xiuying crying, his expression indifferent.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Lin Fan stood there like a wooden statue, Xiuying could only cry, and Old Man Chu felt as if the sky had fallen.

He paced back and forth in front of Xiuying, his old face filled with anxiety.

After asking for a long time, Xiuying didn't say anything, she just cried.

Before long, his voice became hoarse from crying. Old Man Chu felt sorry for him but didn't know what to do.

Finally, perhaps sensing that the time had come, Xiuying stopped crying and looked up at Old Man Chu with snot and tears all over her face.

"Grandpa Chu, did your uncle say you dislike Xiuying?"

Seeing that Xiuying had stopped crying, Old Man Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing her words, Old Man Chu said with a wry smile, "Girl, why would your grandfather dislike you?"

Xiuying sniffed, wiped the snot off her face, and muttered, "My uncle said he wanted to invite you to our house to teach Xiuying, so why didn't Grandpa Chu agree?"

Old Man Chu was taken aback. He didn't respond to Xiuying's words, but instead turned his head and glared at Lin Fan.

"Young man, that's not very kind of you. How can you let your little girl go through all this trouble? She's your own niece, don't you feel sorry for her?"

Lin Fan shrugged and smiled, "Sir, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

"When a child cries, it's probably because she feels wronged. Isn't that normal? Everyone cries. Let her cry if she wants to. Don't worry about it, sir."

Seeing that Lin Fan was pretending to be ignorant, Old Man Chu snorted and said, "You think you can force this old man to give in like this? Let me tell you, you should give up on that idea and go back now. Stop making trouble."

Lin Fan didn't speak, but instead sighed and slowly sat down on the threshold outside the thatched hut.

"Oh dear, Xiuying, did you hear that? Grandpa Chu really doesn't like you. Maybe he prefers boys? That's why he absolutely refuses to come to our house to teach you to read and write. It's probably because we only have two girls in our family."

"Grandpa Chu is telling us to leave, Xiuying, should we go?"

This statement is like a signal.

Hearing this, Xiuying burst into tears again.

"Wow wow~"

Xiuying was wailing loudly, which made Chujiang feel very agitated.

Lin Fan was still rambling on and on.

"Oh dear, poor Xiuying. She really wants to study, but because her family is poor, she can't go to the school in the county town. She finally met a capable teacher, but he is unwilling to teach her."

“We’re just country folk. We’ve suffered so much in our lives. We finally had a chance to change our fate and our future, but we didn’t even have the right to seize it. Xiuying, your uncle is so sorry!”

Chu Jiang knew perfectly well that these were all Lin Fan's excuses, intended to force him to comply.

But hearing Xiuying's cries, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Thinking about what Lin Fan said, although he said it on purpose to deprive him of sympathy, upon closer examination, it is not without reason.

If I don't teach Xiuying, this girl may never have the opportunity to learn to read and write in her entire life, just like those uncultured and dull villagers I met today.

Chu Jiang was caught in a deep internal struggle.

Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry. He just waited patiently on the sidelines. If he couldn't get the other man's agreement by crying today, he would come again tomorrow. If that didn't work, he would come again the day after tomorrow. He would come every day until he got the other man's agreement.

"Sigh, alright, alright, I guess I'm just unlucky to have run into you guys."

"I promise, okay? Girl, don't cry!"

In the end, Chu Jiang sighed and changed his mind.

Upon seeing this, Lin Fan immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Haha, the old gentleman is indeed kind-hearted. Xiuying, don't cry. Mr. Chu has promised to teach you to read and write. You can finally study. Why don't you call him teacher?"

As soon as Lin Fan spoke, Xiuying's crying stopped abruptly, as if her face had changed completely.

She knelt down before Old Man Chu with a thud and respectfully said, "Teacher!"

Chu Jiang shook his head helplessly and helped the little girl up.

"Alright, don't be so polite. This kind of thing doesn't work now. I'm just your teacher, teaching you to read and write. There's no need for such formalities."

Xiuying wiped the snot and tears from her face and jumped up happily.

"Great! Xiuying can finally go to school! Uncle, Xiuying can go to school!"

……

Liangshan County, suburbs.

Huba and his gang hid in the shadows and observed.

Not far away, at the location of this transaction, the buyer offered a lot of money and wanted something substantial, but in order to survive, he still chose to trust Lin Fan.

The group of thugs in charge of the transaction were carrying old newspapers in their bags. They weren't afraid of being caught, but if the police were to be dispatched, it would verify Lin Fan's words.
