If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am." Liu Fugui and others knew that they had passed this hurdle, and they kowtowed in gratitude in a hurry.

"No need to thank me, this was Liu Laifu's own effort. If it weren't for his sake, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily." The beautiful woman said calmly, "In the past few years, I have treated your family of four well. Liu Meihua is so narrow-minded and jealous at such a young age, and she is so cruel."

Liu Fugui and others crawled on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Liu Fugui, Li, I'm here to remind you once, from now on you must train Liu Laifu well and discipline Liu Meihua strictly. You must remember this!"

"Yes, yes, we will follow your instructions, madam." Liu Fugui and Li nodded in response hurriedly.

"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. What are you going to do?"

Liu Fugui and Li looked at each other, and Liu Fugui looked at his son who was thinking something beside him, and once again resolutely said, "Our whole family is going to move to the capital as soon as possible to make a living. Madam, what do you think?"

The beautiful woman glanced at Liu Laifu who was in deep thought and nodded: "Then let's set off in the next two days. Remember what I just said."

"Thank you, Madam!" After Liu Fugui and Li bowed again, they dragged up the unconscious Liu Meihua and took the distracted Liu Lai Fu out of the main room in the north courtyard.

"Xiang'er, how could I let them go so easily?" After Liu Fugui and his family left the North Courtyard, the beautiful woman asked Meixiang with a smile, holding a tea bowl. Ever since their daughter woke up from the ordeal, the people in the North Courtyard liked this warm atmosphere of sitting together and chatting.

"Mother, just consider it as my great mercy, doing a good deed every day." Meixiang turned the Buddhist beads on her left wrist, blinking her eyes and said playfully, "But I still have to teach them a lesson. After all, my blood can't be shed in vain, right?"

"You, do whatever you want." The beautiful woman gently tapped Meixiang's forehead with her left index finger, agreeing to her daughter's arrangement.

In the main room of the South Courtyard, Liu Fugui, still frightened, was talking to his son about what had just happened in the North Courtyard and his future plans.

"Fuer, Madam took this matter very seriously, how did you do it?" Liu Fugui finally had the chance to ask the question that had been on his mind.

Liu Laifu first made a cup of tea for his father, then filled his own bowl with water. After motioning for his father to drink, he said, "Dad, can't you tell who the lady is now?"

"Who are they? You say they are nobles, but they have lived in this remote mountain village for so many years and are usually very low-key. You say they are ordinary people, but they don't look like ordinary people in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. To be honest, I still don't understand who they are after all these years."

"Based on the madam's aura just now, my son bet that she is not an ordinary person. Obviously, my son's bet was right!"

Liu Laifu then said secretly in his heart: "As for why I have been so low-key these years, I will understand it in the future."

"Bet?" Liu Fugui asked in confusion.

"Yes, I bet they are not ordinary people. The master said that now that the world is peaceful, nobles will more or less cherish talents. So even though I was so scared that I wanted to faint, I gritted my teeth and persevered for the sake of my family's safety."

"Oh," although Liu Fugui still didn't quite understand, he obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer. "Fuer, help your mother keep an eye on your sister these two days. Don't let her do anything stupid again, otherwise no one can save her. And help your mother pack her luggage. I'll go to the carriage shop in the state capital to find out the way and repair the donkey cart."

"Dad, do we really have to go to the capital? Can we trust that cousin?" Liu Lai Fu asked with a little uneasiness.

"Alas, Dad has been hesitating and couldn't make up his mind, so it has been delayed until now. Look, your sister has caused such a big disaster again. We can't stay in Liujia Village anymore. We can only go to the capital to fight for our future." Liu Fugui shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Liu Lai Fu thought about how Liu Meihua had bullied the eldest sister in the North Courtyard in the past and now she almost killed her. He suddenly didn't know what to say.

However, the troubles that Li brought him later made him unable to take care of other things.

The next morning, Liu Laifu was dragged to Master Ji's house by Li, and she jumped up and down to ask Master Ji to give her a refund. The master, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was so angry that he almost fainted.

"I've been teaching for so many years, but I've never heard of any family retiring?" Mrs. Ji said angrily.

"What? You won't retreat? Say that again?" Li pointed at Mrs. Wang and shouted indignantly.

"Aren't you scholars? Have you ever heard of any scholar in this area who embezzled students' tuition fees? We won't be studying here anymore, so why don't you withdraw? Even if the county lord comes, he will still do the same thing."

"Lai Fu, don't pull my clothes. Did I say something wrong? How can a teacher like this teach students? Fortunately, we are going to drop out of school, otherwise we might have delayed the development of our good children..." Li talked a lot without stopping.

"You, you..." Master Ji's chest heaved violently with anger, his hands trembling as he stared at Li, unable to speak.

"Dad, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Don't be angry, don't be angry," Mrs. Ji said anxiously while putting her hand on her husband's chest.

Liu Lai Fu hurriedly dragged the teacher's stool from the classroom across the courtyard, and helped his wife help the teacher sit down.

"Cough cough cough..." With the help of the two, Master Ji finally sighed and recovered.

"Go and return the tuition he paid at the beginning of the year to him!"

"But, but this is your medicine money."

"Go, give it to her."

Mrs. Ji glanced at her husband and said nothing more. After a while, she took out a purse from the north courtyard and handed it to Li.

"Someone in my family has been sick recently, so I've spent some money. Now I only have these 700 coins left. Do you think it's okay?"

Li took it and counted it quickly: "How can this be? Lai Fu has been here for less than a month and you only took a hundred coins from him? And those New Year gifts and snacks..."

"Mom, please shut up!" Liu Lai Fu interrupted Li's next words with red eyes.

"Hmph!" Li finally turned around and walked out of the yard without saying anything else.

"Sir, Madam, I..." Liu Lai Fu's face turned red, as if blood would drip out of it in the next second. He looked at Master Ji and his wife, not knowing what to say.

He fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed three times to Master Ji. When he raised his head again, his forehead was red and swollen, and his tears were streaming down his face like a faucet that was finally turned on.

Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Ji could no longer blame him and could only sigh again, not knowing whether they were sighing for Liu Lai Fu or for having such a mother.

"Okay, get up. This is not your fault, and you don't have to blame yourself. Don't fall behind in your studies after you leave Liujia Village. Only by studying can you understand etiquette, and only by understanding etiquette can you gain a foothold in the world. If we are destined to be together in the future, we can continue this teacher-student relationship. Okay, go now."

"I will follow your teachings carefully and keep them in mind. Take care, sir and mistress." Liu Lai Fu choked up and kowtowed three times. He looked at the two of them reluctantly for the last time before turning and leaving.
