Chapter 576: Qinghe Bay
Chapter 576: Qinghe Bay
The other parents of the private school students were very happy that Chun Wang was expelled.
The kids who attended the private school all said that everyone had been bullied by Chun Wang at some point.
Most kids entered the private school with the mindset of avoiding trouble and studying hard, so they usually endured Chun Wang’s bullying.
Aside from Xiao Long, Man Er, Yaozu, and others who dared to hit Chun Wang, everyone else basically put up with it, allowing Chun Wang to bully others daily.
His expulsion would also bring peace to the private school.
Some parents whispered among themselves, deciding that starting tomorrow, they would take turns keeping watch at the private school gate each day to prevent Old Lady Luo from causing trouble. Moreover, they would escort Mr. Su to and from school.
Old Lady Luo was unwilling to accept that her grandson was expelled from the private school.
Hearing Chun Wang say he wanted to become a general made her furious. How could becoming a general be so easy? Which general hadn’t crawled out from a pile of corpses?
Chun Wang, however, insisted and shouted, "I heard from the elders that decades ago, a cowherd boy from Black Dragon Pond followed the rebels to war and eventually became a general. If a cowherd can become a general, why can’t I?"
Tong Huaqiong twitched her lips.
Wasn’t the cowherd from Black Dragon Pond Tong Dajiao’s first love, Min Han Niu?
Chun Wang being expelled from the private school was a heavy blow to Old Lady Luo, but Tong Huaqiong felt it wasn’t enough.
However, she intended to ruin Sufen.
She and Old Lady Luo had a feud, but Old Lady Luo was powerless, while Chun Wang might not be.
Since Chun Wang was still a kid, he shouldn’t be let off.
This would prevent future disturbances in Qinghe Bay.
Tong Huaqiong thought for a moment and signaled her own kids with her eyes.
Yaozu was puzzled, while Man Er and Xiao Long were smart and cunning.
Man Er sneered and said, "Chun Wang, you want to be a general? What kind of general can you be? You’re talking so much even you believe it. If you expose yourself when crashing into my mom, you’d probably get killed on the battlefield the first day."
Xiao Long gave a cold laugh and said, "You can’t even beat me, and you want to be a general? Dream on!"
Chun Wang bared his teeth, waving his fists, and said, "You don’t believe me, huh? Just wait and see."
Yaozu finally caught on and said from the side, "What are we waiting to see? You’ve already been expelled from the private school, where are you going to be a general? Do you plan to become a general here in Qinghe Bay? There’s nowhere to fight in Qinghe Bay."
Man Er said, "He’s just bragging. I heard from Uncle Lai Fu that the cowherd from Black Dragon Pond managed to sneak into a military camp at a young age. Chun Wang hasn’t even left Yan Guan Town, he’d probably get lost as soon as he leaves the village."
Xiao Long scoffed, "Even if he ran out, he wouldn’t be able to find the gate of the military camp. I heard there’s a unit stationed thirty miles from the city, and in a while, they’ll break camp for the border. The cowherd from Black Dragon Pond became a great general because of his achievements at the border. But Chun Wang’s no good; he’s just squabbling in the village and can’t achieve anything. If he goes there, they surely won’t take him."
Tong Huaqiong smirked; the kids were cooperating well.
This provocation was best used to get Chun Wang to leave.
A general, indeed. He can’t even reach the rank of colonel, and he’d likely get kidnapped by mountain bandits if he tried leaving Qinghe Bay.
Sure enough, just as Tong Huaqiong expected, the top bully of Qinghe Bay, Chun Wang, was highly displeased.
Initially, Chun Wang wanted to retort to Man Er, Xiao Long, and Yaozu, but upon hearing Xiao Long mention a troop stationed thirty miles from the city, he became intrigued.
Who said he couldn’t leave Qinghe Bay, and who said he couldn’t become a great general?
He was determined to show Widow Tong and her brood his day of becoming a general and to have the entire village witness him command thousands of troops in glory.
By then, he would flatten Qinghe Bay, eradicating Widow Tong and those who hold a grudge against his family.
No, they would have to kneel and repent at his feet before being annihilated.
Whatever official Jingzhe becomes, no official beats a great general with a sword.
Old Lady Luo was terrified when she heard her grandson wanted to join the military and become a great general, but she was even more enraged when she heard Man Er, Xiao Long, and Yaozu saying her grandson couldn’t become a great general.
Who did they look down on?
As night fell, Tong Huaqiong took her brood home.
Old Lady Luo wouldn’t accept that her grandson was expelled from the private school; she wanted him to study hard and surpass Gu Jingzhe.
Blocked and pushed by the villagers, Old Lady Luo didn’t dare cause a ruckus at the private school gate and had to sulkกลับบ้านพร้อมกับหลานชาย เธอเศร้ามากจึงร่ำไห้กับเทียนฟูกุ่ยในบ้าน
Tian Fugui was domineering at home; he didn’t dare confront Tong Huaqiong or Mr. Su, so he vented his anger on his wife and daughter.
Mrs. Cao and Chun Ni, just back from the pig farm, found themselves under attack. Tian Fugui grabbed Mrs. Cao’s hair and yanked, demanding Chun Ni to go plead with Tong Huaqiong for Chun Wang’s return to private school.
Mrs. Cao and Chun Ni had already heard on their way back that Chun Wang attempted to kill two birds with one stone by bumping into Chen Sufen’s belly and was expelled from the school. They felt sorry for Tong Huaqiong and Chen Sufen.
Of course, they had their differences in handling Chun Wang. Mrs. Cao wanted Chun Wang to carry his own spine and apologize to Tong Huaqiong, hoping for leniency and his return to the private school.
Chun Ni, on the other hand, believed that it was already lenient of Tong Huaqiong not to kill Chun Wang, and having Mr. Su expel him was the lightest punishment.
Faced with Tian Fugui’s violence and Old Lady Luo’s scolding, Chun Ni grabbed a knife from the kitchen and was ready to fight Tian Fugui.
"It’s a rebellion, a rebellion, and even learning nothing good from Tong Dajiao. Gu Xiaoxue went crazy, and now you’re going crazy too." Old Lady Luo screamed as Chun Ni chased her.
Ultimately, faced with Chun Ni’s wielding knife and acting crazy, Tian Fugui and Old Lady Luo had no choice but to back down.
Mrs. Cao tried to negotiate with Chun Ni, still hoping for Chun Wang to apologize to Chen Sufen at Tong Huaqiong’s house.
"Let them vent their anger," Mrs. Cao said.
Chun Ni retorted coldly, "Are you trying to roast Grandma Tong and Aunt Su Fen on the fire? You want to take Chun Wang to apologize because you hope they will forgive him and let him return to private school. If you really feel sorry for them, you should severely discipline Chun Wang, not take him there to be reprimanded by them."
Mrs. Cao said, "I don’t mean that... He is your brother after all..."
At this moment, Chun Ni was utterly disappointed in her mother.
Without Grandma Tong’s help in the past year, she and her mother would have been tormented to death, and now her mother was trying to morally blackmail Grandma Tong and Aunt Su Fen for Chun Wang’s sake.
Chun Ni felt there was no need for her mother to work at Tong Huaqiong’s pig farm anymore; she might as well stay locked up at home with her precious son.
A few days later, Chun Wang blocked Xiao Long on the road and asked directly, "Is there really a unit stationed thirty miles from the city?"
Xiao Long replied, "Believe it or not."
Saying this, he was about to leave.
Chun Wang grabbed Xiao Long, only to be easily flipped over.
"Xiao Long, all I did was ask about the unit, is that worth hitting me for?" Chun Wang, having fallen flat, held onto Xiao Long’s leg with both hands.
Xiao Long bent down, looked at Chun Wang, and said, "That unit will leave in five days; if you start now, you might reach there in three days."
