Chapter 765: Why Don’t You Want to Go?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Uncle Chen was the first to react. He immediately scolded, “What do you mean by not studying anymore? Don’t spout nonsense. You know how many children in this village don’t even have the chance to study. You can only sit there and study obediently because your parents are promising. But you actually don’t cherish it.”

He was right. How difficult was studying these days?

Although he was the village chief, it was also very difficult for him to provide for his two grandsons to study. However, he knew the benefits of knowledge. As long as his grandson could become an Elementary Scholar or High Scholar, it could change their life.

That was why he had shamelessly come to the Gu family today and carefully asked about the school.

Chen Liang even had some hidden thoughts in his heart. He had seen Qin Wenzheng before. Although he did not know his exact identity, he could tell from the man’s aura that he was definitely not an ordinary person, especially since Yunshu and Yuanzhi were both studying at his place.

They had been in school for less time than Niu Dan, but they had learned more than Niu Dan. It was said that they even had to learn how to ride horses and shoot arrows. That school was much more awesome than that Wen Mo Academy.

Who wouldn’t want to go to such a good school? However, he had also asked around. Teacher Qin had strict requirements for accepting students. It depended on talent and fate.

Actually, he also knew that the hope was slim, but Qin Wenzheng and Gu Yundong had a good relationship, so he still wanted to give it a try. Perhaps he would succeed?

However, he did not expect his grandson to be unwilling to go to school.

Previously, Chen Liang had fainted from anger. Now, he had almost fainted from anger because of his grandson.

However, Niu Dan’s face was flushed red. His small hands were clenched tightly, and he looked very agitated and resistant.

Chen Liang wanted to say something, but Gu Dajiang shook his head slightly and pulled Niu Dan over.

He wasn’t familiar with Niu Dan, but from what his son often said, he quite liked this enthusiastic and energetic little fellow.

He asked gently in a low voice, “Why don’t you want to study anymore?”

“It’s not good to study at all. I’m unhappy and can’t go home. The teacher doesn’t let us play. Even if we have time to rest, we have to sit in our seats and read. We can’t be in the toilet for the time of more than half a cup of tea. I feel uncomfortable. I feel like I can’t breathe.”

Niu Dan’s expression became pained as he spoke.

Gu Yundong understood that Niu Dan had developed a distaste for learning.

Moreover, this phenomenon had not happened for a day or two. He must have felt suffocated under the pressure of the literary master.

As expected, Master Wen was not suitable to be a master.

However, Chen Liang was completely stunned and did not understand. “Isn’t this how studying is? Which student doesn’t study hard day and night? The ancients even had their heads hanging from beams and their butts sitting on thorns. They wished they could sit in front of their desks 24 hours a day. Why do you feel uncomfortable?”

Gu Yundong and Gu Dajiang looked at each other. This was a generation gap.

Chen Liang had never studied before, so he couldn’t empathize with his grandson, but Gu Dajiang knew.

He gave Gu Yundong a look, and the latter left with Niu Dan, who was about to protest, and Yunshu, who was frowning as if he was thinking about something.

Only Gu Dajiang and Chen Liang were left in the central room. Chen Liang was still frowning.

Gu Dajiang poured him a glass of water before saying slowly, “Village Chief, I can understand your hopes for the child, but we have to understand that Niu Dan is only eight years old this year. He’s still young and doesn’t have enough willpower to begin with. Let alone the child, even I can’t do it.”
