Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Scumbag Brother and Scumbag Father, Get Lost (26)

As Qiann Yan recited, Yaan Huai’s hand trembled slightly while flipping through the pages.

What shocked him even more was that Qiann Yan recited each passage and then explained it. Some of these articles he had also studied. However, he still had to work to support himself and didn’t have the time to go to the school every day to listen to the teacher’s lectures.

As Qiann Yan recited the contents of a book and explained them, Yaan Huai felt a sudden clarity, feeling both excited and full of admiration.

When Qiann Yan finished reciting, he stood up, and with a bow, said to her, "Student Yaan Huai pays respect to the teacher."

Xu Yunniang was completely bewildered. Actually, after Qiann Yan recited and plainly explained the meaning of the articles, she could understand the content and even had the illusion that reading wasn’t that difficult.

Seeing Yaan Huai’s face full of admiration and respect, she understood that her sister-in-law was very impressive. She had never felt so excited before; she felt hope and a future.

"My parents passed away a few years ago, I’m the only one left in the family."

"Luckily, I’m not too young, so I can plow and plant the fields myself. When I have time, I can go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and with some luck, catch some game to sell in the city..."

Yaan Huai introduced his situation.

Upon learning that his home was in the neighboring Xinghua Village, Qiann Yan thought it was just right.

In a few months, it would be the provincial examination, and Yaan Huai was already a child student. Precisely because of this talent, Teacher Jiao Rongchang made an exception to allow him to listen to classes from outside the window.

Living nearby would give her time to train Yaan Huai, allowing him to pass the examination as a scholar, and ideally, to strive for the first place.

If this succeeds, those who want her teaching would come in droves. Except for some who are arrogant and look down on women, the rest would be eager to obtain fame and success. Perhaps even some children from affluent families who haven’t awakened their potential might be sent to her.

This way, she wouldn’t lack money.

However, before her reputation becomes renowned, she must deal with those two freeloaders at home.

Fortunately, there are still a few months left, giving her plenty of opportunities.

After parting with Yaan Huai, Qiann Yan took Xu Yunniang to buy a few things before hurriedly heading back home on a bull cart.

Upon returning home, she was faced with Meng Wengan’s half-dead look, making Xu Yunniang’s smile vanish.

Indeed, the sister-in-law was much more pleasing to the eye; what use was this man?

Meng Wengan didn’t notice Xu Yunniang’s full disdain. He was gloomily looking at her getting along so well with Qiann Yan, "All day, you just know how to run outside, not observing your duties as a wife."

"Pa—"

Before Xu Yunniang could even get angry, she saw her fierce sister-in-law slap Meng Wengan across the mouth. Seeing Meng Wengan’s incredulous look with his reddened mouth, she suddenly lost her anger.

Indeed, her sister-in-law was great.

She snorted once and went into the kitchen to prepare something delicious for her sister-in-law.

"If you can’t speak properly, then shut your foul mouth."

"If I hear you falsely accusing someone again, especially a pregnant woman, I won’t be able to resist sewing your mouth shut with a needle." Qiann Yan pulled a needle that gleamed coldly, scaring Meng Wengan to the point where his legs began to shake.

He was so aggrieved he wanted to cry and turned around angrily, running to Meng Chongxi’s room.

"Dad, when will you get better? I can’t go on living like this."

Meng Wengan felt his life was over; as long as he stayed in this family, he would never rise again.

Unless his father could recover, save him from misery, and deal with this malicious Meng Qianyan.

Meng Chongxi also listened with tears streaming, wishing he could stand up and deal with these women who turned the world upside down.

However, after all these days, he still couldn’t move. Being alive felt more like being a dead man.
