Chapter 79 No, it was supposed to be about calling the parents...
Lin Xi immediately squatted down, pulled Da Niu over, opened his clothes, and checked him over from head to toe. She was relieved to see that there were no injuries on his body.
Da Niu felt a little embarrassed after his father turned him over, so he quickly broke free from his father's arms and stood awkwardly to the side, his eyes darting around as he stole glances at his parents.
Gao Mengli narrowed her eyes. "Tell me, what are you doing here at this hour? Did someone bully you? Come on, I'll take you to settle the score with them."
After saying that, he and Lin Xi immediately grabbed Da Niu's hands and pulled him toward Beicheng Academy to settle scores.
The two men were striding forward with great pride and high spirits, but Da Niu stood still and did not move an inch.
His face was full of tension.
The two exchanged a glance and released Da Niu's hand.
Gao Mengli crossed her arms and stared at Da Niu. "Be honest and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. You choose."
Da Niu nervously clutched the hem of his clothes, then chuckled and scratched his head. "Dad, Mom, I can make excuses... ugh, I can explain."
After Da Niu finished speaking, he told his parents to stare at him "gloomily." He pouted sheepishly, lowered his head, and stole glances at them, his voice barely audible, "Father, Mother... the teacher... the teacher said..."
Seeing that Da Niu hadn't uttered a single word for a long time, Lin Xi was losing patience with this brat and was about to give him a beating.
Lin Xi frowned and growled in a low voice, "What did you say, sir? Hurry up and say it! Stop dawdling."
Seeing his father's fierce expression, Da Niu trembled with fear, closed his eyes, and steeled his resolve: "The teacher said that I should come back and ask my parents to come to the academy."
"What?!" Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were shocked. They had never expected this to be the reason.
Lin Xi frowned, looking Da Niu up and down. This brat has really grown up. He's only been at school for two days and his parents have already been called in.
"The teacher wants to call your parents? Lin Daniu, have you gotten into some serious trouble at the academy? Tell us the truth, and I promise I won't beat you to death."
Upon hearing this, Da Niu lowered his head even further, rubbing his feet incessantly on the ground. After a long while, he stammered, "I...I didn't do anything. I was just selling toothpaste at the academy, hehehe..."
Gao Mengli's eyes blazed with anger. "Don't tell me you're covered in soot because you went and cleaned up the kitchen stoves in your academy's cafeteria?"
Da Niu's eyes lit up. "Mom, you're amazing! You even know this!"
Lin Xi frowned. "I gave you 600 coins a month for living expenses, and you bought pearls and mint?"
Da Niu immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, I asked my classmate who is a day student to buy it for me! Besides, that classmate is related to the pharmacy owner. Dad, you don't know, buying it for me with my classmate can get me a pretty good discount!"
Gao Mengli looked at the enthusiastic Da Niu and curled the corners of her lips. "Oh, then tell me, how many did you sell, and how much did you earn?"
Completely unprepared, Da Niu didn't notice the sinister undertone in his "motherly" tone at all. He happily took out his little abacus from his pocket and started calculating rapidly.
"Dad, Mom, I bought 100 coins worth of fine pearls, 10 coins worth of dried mint, and 3 coins worth of jars. Charcoal is free at the canteen's stove, and so is wood ash. One batch can make 20 coins worth of small jars, and I'll sell them for 18 coins each! I can earn 190 coins from one batch!"
After saying that, he shook the abacus twice, then put it back in his arms, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Gao Mengli and Lin Xi.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi's lips twitched. This brat, he's even taking his business to the academy, and now his parents are being called in... really...
They're so angry!
Gao Mengli was furious. She stepped forward and grabbed Da Niu's ear. "I paid for your schooling, and you go and do business? Lin Da Niu, you're really something!"
Lin Xi nodded in agreement with a smug look on her face, "That's right!"
That brat of his needs to be taught a lesson.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts! Mother, be gentle, be gentle..."
Da Niu exclaimed in surprise, "I blurted everything out in my excitement, and only now do I realize how indistinguishable this is from a full confession!"
I regret saying it so much; I should have denied it to the death...
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli arrived at the academy gate with Da Niu in a bad mood.
In fact, Lin Xi and Gao Mengli were even more afraid than Da Niu. After all, being a "master" is a dangerous profession, just like when they were young and their teacher taught them how to fight zombies. They were terrified.
Yaoshou!
Just as the two were hesitating whether to go in, they saw two students walk out of the academy. When they saw the big ox at the gate, they ran over happily.
"Boss, we've been looking for you everywhere during lunch break. Here you go, this is the order for five tubes of toothpaste!"
Chen Dada took out 90 coins from his pocket and handed them to Da Niu, completely ignoring Da Niu's smug look that seemed to be squeezing his eyes out.
Sang Shang, who was standing nearby, noticed Da Niu blinking repeatedly and looked on with curiosity. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Boss, are your eyes bothering you?"
"Lin—Da—Niu—!" Gao Mengli roared angrily.
They were furious. That brat! They were worried he'd be bullied at the academy, but who knew he'd even taken in a lackey?
Look, look, how righteous!
Da Niu trembled with fear upon hearing his mother's roar. The two students were also startled by the force of the roar and turned to look at Gao Mengli and Lin Xi.
"Who are you? How dare you call our boss by his first name?"
Sang Shang frowned, looking at the two people in front of him with displeasure, but his face showed no fear.
They are an "elite" academy, and the "aloofness" of scholars sometimes makes them look down on others.
Especially since Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were both wearing aprons, they looked like maids from their eldest son's household.
"Mother, Mother, please listen to me, I can explain..."
Da Niu quickly grabbed Sang Shang.
What to do? This seems to be getting serious...
Sang Shang and Chen Dada's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this.
Good heavens, they insulted someone's parents...
"Um... Uncle and Aunt, we have something to do... We'll be going now, yes, we have something to do!"
After Chen Dada finished speaking, he quickly grabbed Sang Shang and ran as fast as he could. "Better to die than for my fellow Daoist. May their leader have good fortune!"
Lin Xi felt like she couldn't breathe properly, so she quickly patted her chest. "Come on, come inside with us and take us to Dean Yu."
When Da Niu heard his father say this, he looked miserable and dared not disobey. He could only lead the way step by step into the academy.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi followed behind, their faces so gloomy they could drip water.
The closer they got to the dean's residence, the more anxious Da Niu became, and Gao Mengli and Lin Xi weren't much better off.
The three of them walked with increasingly heavy steps, as if each step was on cotton, feeling weak and powerless.
After finally arriving at Yu Mengmeng's residence, the two rolled their eyes at Da Niu countless times at the door, then took a deep breath and went in to see Mr. Yu.
Although Yu Mengmeng is the dean, she is not much older than Lin Xi.
Da Niu was expecting the three of them to come out and give him the "final judgment," but to his surprise, his parents went in with heavy hearts, while the three of them came out relaxed and happy.
The big ox at the door was completely stunned!
Yu Mengmeng followed Lin Xi and Gao Mengli out, smiled and nodded to Da Niu, "Da Niu, hurry up and wash up, then go back to the classroom. Your parents and I will go to your family's stall for a look!"
