173 Little Ah Yu Learns Linguistics
“Grandma, is that old man very important?” Little Ah Yu asked. Old Madam Wang paused.
Thinking that this question was probably asked by the Guardian God behind her, she thought that the God probably wanted to help, but it still had to weigh the gains and losses.
This meant that to the God, this was not something that could be done with a wave of his hand. Even Gods had to pay a price.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked such a question. He could have just given it to her.
For example, Ah Yu had never shown any cherish for the water, which meant that this water should not be particularly precious. Perhaps it was no different from the water she usually drank.
Old Madam Wang thought for a moment and looked at Little Ah Yu. She said to the “God” behind Little Ah Yu, “This person saved the Wang Family’s life. Moreover, before the Wang Family fell, he could be considered as a strong family. I can’t guarantee that that person will be of much help after he recovers, but it’s still much better than being paralyzed.”
Otherwise, he would not have lent them 2,000 taels of silver so easily. After more than ten years, he had never come to ask for it.
Because to the former Shopkeeper Zhou, 2,000 taels of silver was just an insignificant sum of money.
When Meatball heard Old Madam Wang’s sincerity, it thought about it and felt that it could help.
As for the deeper stuff, it couldn’t be bothered to think about it.
[Give it to your Grandma. Take it as returning a favor. Don’t you humans like to return favors the most?]
As it spoke, Meatball pulled out the box of nutrient solutions from the void and took out one.
[This packaging can’t be discovered by others. Get your Grandma to disguise it.]
Little Ah Yu grabbed the nutrient solution in her pocket and it landed in her hand.
She gave it to Old Madam Wang and told her what the elf had said.
Old Madam Wang held the nutrient solution and was moved. “Ah Yu, thank you, thank you.”
The last word of thanks was directed at Meatball.
Old Madam Wang changed the packaging of the nutrient solution to a small porcelain bottle. To prevent any mistakes, she handed the packaging back to Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu gave it back to Meatball again.
Meatball was helpless and could only recycle it like trash.
The nutrient solution had a long shelf life, but it could not be exposed to the air for a long time, so it had to be used as soon as possible.
Zhou Chuchu was very worried about her family, but she was too embarrassed to rush them anymore. She could only wait anxiously.
Old Madam Wang specially returned to Hu Family Village to call Divine Doctor Xue back.
Some tools could be used for a long time after being used once.
If a lie was told for too long, it would become true.
Unexpectedly, not only did Divine Doctor Xue come, but there was also a large group of beggars.
The reason was that when these beggars saw Divine Doctor Xue return in high spirits and with Divine Doctor Xue spouting nonsense and bragging, everyone felt that Divine Doctor Xue had gone to enjoy life.
Now that Old Madam Wang had come knocking on their door, these beggars could not help but say that their brains were normal and were definitely more useful than Divine Doctor Xue.
They did not know why Old Madam Wang was looking for Divine Doctor Xue, but they knew very well that they were better than a crazy old man.
When people became beggars, they either had no money or were shameless. Many people were the latter.
Hence, Old Madam Wang brought back a group of beggars.
Most of them were stopped outside Nanhe Street and were not allowed to enter.
Nanhe Second and Third Street allowed some beggars to go on the streets, but there were also rules for the places to beg, causing the competition to be especially intense.
They did not mind. On Nanhe Second Street, they each found a place close to the Wang family. If they encountered beggars who came to snatch territory, they would beat them up.
Only Divine Doctor Xue was invited home. As usual, he washed up and ate his fill.
Zhou Chuchu almost couldn’t control her expression as she looked at Divine Doctor Xue waving his dog-beating stick.
“Grandma Zhang, is this the divine doctor you mentioned?” Zhou Chuchu knew that Old Madam Wang’s surname was Zhang, so she called her Grandma Zhang.
Old Madam Wang’s face was neither red nor hot. “Divine doctors are a little strange. They’re different from ordinary people. His medical skills are brilliant. You can rest assured about this.”
Divine Doctor Xue poked the dog-beating stick on the ground. “Tsk! I’ll beat you to death, you demon. It’s my duty to subdue and eliminate demons!”
Then, he shouted to the left, “Hey! Traitor! Surrender now! I’ll spare your life!”
Old Madam Wang: “...”
Zhou Chuchu: “...”
This was difficult for her to believe.
Would he beat her grandfather to death?
Old Madam Wang thought to herself that the thing Ah Yu’s Guardian God had given her was a divine medicine that could treat this evil wind illness.
Could it also cure madness?
It was obvious that there was something wrong with this person’s brain. He should be similar to Wu Xiaomei. She wondered if she could save some for him to use.
However, after this person was cured. It would take a lot of effort for him to be of use to her.
Not to mention Old Madam Wang, just the fact that Little Ah Yu had gone to the Yang Family Private School meant that Wang Wulang and Wang Liulang were on the same side.
Wang Erlang, Wang Sanlang, Wang Silang, and Wang Qilang went to Qingmu Academy. Of course, Wang Chuangui was among them.
It was mainly because Wang Wulang had forgotten his words at the critical moment during the Qingmu Academy assessment. Wang Liulang was greedy and ate until his stomach hurt, causing the two of them to not even pass the simplest test.
Qin Huai was a well-connected person and had never experienced this before.
He wanted to hide his strength, but who knew that the foundation of the students in the school was not very strong? Even if he hid his strength, some students who were 12 or 13 years old still did not have as much knowledge as Qin Huai.
...
Qin Huai casually recited a few stories and the teacher slapped the table and praised him, promoting him to the position of head of the hall.
There were a total of four halls in Qingmu Academy. The students who performed well in each hall could become the head of the hall.
When Chi Jia found out, he held his stomach and laughed for a long time.
Pfft, the title of Head of the Hall sounded like a small fry from some martial sects.
Of course, Chi Jia received a reward of running a hundred laps on Nanhe Main Street.
Chi Jia: “...” He was too careless and forgot that the Young Master actually could hold a grudge.
As for Little Ah Yu, because she was too young, she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with the progress. She was also afraid that she would delay the students of Qingmu Academy, so she went to the Yang Family Private School.
As soon as she entered the private school and reached the door, a group of children surrounded her.
Someone took Little Ah Yu’s small cloth bag. “Ah Yu, Ah Yu, you’re here? I’ll get your bag for you!”
“Ah Yu, you’re a moment later than yesterday. Did you laze in bed?”
“Ah Yu, my mother made me sweet rice cakes. I saved them for you. You have to try them.”
...
Everyone surrounded Little Ah Yu and quickly pushed Wang Wulang and Wang Liulang aside.
Little Ah Yu had an extremely good temper. She would answer anyone who spoke to her well.
After responding to them one by one, Teacher Yang also arrived at the school.
There were only about ten students in the Yang Family Private School. Regardless of their age, they were all in the same class.
All the students sat upright and did not dare to say anything.
“In this era, every student should know that their every word and action is a form of cultivation. Your words can melt the spring breeze and also make one feel a chill all over their body. Therefore, the excellence of your words and the elegance of your words cannot be lacking...”
Little Ah Yu tried her best to widen her eyes and look at Teacher Yang very seriously, looking completely focused.
No one knew that she was shouting for Meatball’s help in her heart.
“Elf, what should we do? Ah Yu doesn’t understand!”
It was another day when she could not understand what the teacher was saying.
[...] It really couldn’t bear to tell the kid. Actually, this was already very simple and easy.
[Retrieving this world’s linguistics...]
[Matching in progress-]
[Matching complete!]
[Translation in synchronization-]
Meatball sighed. In the end, it could not skip this step.
[What your teacher said is that today is a linguistic class, so it’s about learning how to speak...]
In order to not let the kid become a bad student, it could only accept its fate and translate for her.
