The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 178 The hostage is still in his hands

A few days later, Su Laijiu went to Qingfeng Academy again. This time, he saw Steward Fang standing at the entrance of the academy from a distance, but when he turned his face and saw him, he got into the entrance of the academy and closed the door tightly.

He rushed over to knock on the door, and an old servant came out to watch the door, and only opened the door a crack. After hearing his explanation, he just shook his head and said, "I'm not in the academy, come back next time!" Then he slammed the door of the academy Close it with a snap.

This time Su Laijiu was even more sure that Qingfeng Academy wanted to renege on the debt, so he was so angry that he punched the door of the academy.

Back at Xiangyifang, I told Xu Zhixiang about today's experience again. This time Xu Zhixiang couldn't help frowning, but seeing the bruises on the back of his hand from smashing on the gate, and a little bit of skin, he sighed. : "No matter what, don't hurt yourself, don't be so impulsive next time."

After finishing speaking, seeing Su Laijiu's face full of guilt, he persuaded: "It's no fault of you, you go to work, don't worry about this matter, I will ask them in person later."

"But they just won't give it? What if they say something bad again..."

Xu Zhixiang chuckled, "It's also a teaching place anyway, if it's really that shameless, let them spread the word and see who will do business with them in the future."

Su Laijiu was not optimistic when he heard the words, and murmured softly, "How can it be so easy? The hostage is still in his hands."

"What are you mumbling about?" Xu Zhixiang didn't hear what he said, and asked subconsciously.

Su Laijiu expressed his opinion, "Boss, there are two sons of your family who are studying there, and you have ruined the reputation of the academy outside. In the future, others may say that Qingfeng Academy has bad character. What kind of good people will the students you teach. Maybe the academy just guesses that you dare not, so it will openly cheat people."

Xu Zhixiang was stunned, "There is still such a talk? It seems that we are not the only ones doing black things in Qingfeng Academy."

Su Laijiu sighed, and wanted to persuade Xu Zhixiang to think about it, and don't worry too much if the money can't be collected, but seeing that although Xu Zhixiang looked angry, he didn't worry about not getting the money back at all, so he resigned and left.

After Xu Zhixiang finally figured it out, she turned around and left Xiangyifang, and said to Qian Lan as she walked home: "Qian Lan, how can you do such a thing in such a big academy? Su Chang and Su Lan are studying there. Don’t teach me badly.”

Qian Lan comforted, "Perhaps the steward did it himself, and the academy didn't know about it."

Xu Zhixiang thought about it, and there was indeed this possibility, but she still said: "There is also the responsibility of not investigating!"

Back home, she saw Su Xiaocao and Ruier squatting in the yard, the weather in August was no longer hot, so Su Xiaoye asked them to go outside to bask in the sun every day.

Xu Zhixiang walked over and saw a lot of sand piled up on the ground in front of them, just about to ask Su Xiaocao if she was playing with Ruier in the sand, when Ruier said: "Auntie, you are wrong again, the word Su is on the right side of He , not wood."

Su Xiaocao said "oh", and quickly erased the words on the sand in front of her with her hands and re-wrote them.

Xu Zhixiang didn't think much about it, Rui'er was about the same age as Su Lan, and Su Lan could already write a lot of words, Rui'er was pretty good at first glance, so it's not surprising that she could write.

Then he asked, "Xiaocao, where's your sister?"

Just as Su Xiaocao opened her mouth, Rui'er pointed to the backyard and said, "Grandma, Mother said she wanted to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest."

Xu Zhixiang sighed heavily, it became more and more fluent for the child to call mother and grandma, and I don't know if Chang'an will misunderstand something when he comes back?
