Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5418 Inquiry
“I yelled so much.”

"And knocked on the door several times."

The woman reached out and shook her hands.

Her hands were a little sore from knocking.

……

Hearing this, the young scholar's expression did not change.

"Aunt, is there something wrong?"

……

The woman was stunned.

She put down her swinging hands, raised her eyebrows, and her voice became a little sharp.

"Is something wrong?"

"Whether you have something to ask, you, as a junior, should take the initiative to come and see me."

“You are a man of books.”

"You don't need your aunt to teach you this, do you?"

"What on earth did you read?"

"even-"

……

"Auntie."

The woodcutter strode over.

"Do not be angry."

"It is my fault."

……

The woodcutter showed a hint of apology on his face.

"It was me who told my brother to just study."

"Don't worry about anything else."

"It is my fault."

……

The woman looked at the woodcutter.

The tall figure walking in the night made her heart skip a beat.

But soon, she straightened her neck.

"Da Lang."

"I know you're doing this for Jiro's own good."

"But Jiro isn't a kid anymore."

“He’s still a scholar.”

"How could he not understand something that even the country folk understand?"

"You just spoil him too much."

"What if Erlang didn't read the book-"

....
"Auntie."

The woman, who had been silent the whole time, was startled by her aunt's sudden outburst and said, "Can't you say something nice?"

There was a hint of unhappiness between the woman's brows.

The woman has been stepping on the younger brother since she came to their house...

The implication of her words was that her younger brother would have no future if he studied hard.

Who would like to hear this?
They were full of expectations and confidence in their younger brother...

The woman kept pouring cold water on him...

……

To be honest, they didn't kick the woman out...

That's already very polite.

……

"melodious?"

The woman raised her voice.

"Can good-sounding things be eaten?!"

"True advice is harsh to the ears."

"I'm just reminding you kindly!"

"Don't regret it when the time comes!"

……

The woman frowned.

Her hands tangled together unconsciously.

……

The woodcutter stepped forward a little.

"Aunt, it's getting late."

"You must be tired after traveling all the way here."

"Go and rest."

The woodcutter didn't want to argue with the woman.

Anyway, the woman will leave tomorrow.

Just be patient for now.

……

"I haven't spoken to Jiro yet."

But the woman didn't want to leave just like that.

She looked at the young scholar.

This time, she could finally take a good look at Erlang.

There has been a big change from the boy I remember.

She had to look up to see Jilang's face.

She frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
"how?"

"Don't you recognize your aunt?"

……

"I don't really know him."

The young scholar said calmly, "It's been a long time since we last met."

"Aunt, why did you suddenly think of coming here?"

……

The woman was stunned.

I felt a little unhappy.

What does this say?

What a nerd.

A trace of doubt appeared on the woman's face. "You really don't recognize me."

Although it has been a while since they last met...

But Erlang was not that young at that time.

Even Dalang recognized her.

There was no reason why Jiro wouldn't recognize her.

……

“I didn’t recognize it at first.”

The young scholar curled his lips and said, "Now I remember it."

"Hello, aunt."

……

Finally hearing the young scholar's greeting, the woman felt a little satisfied.

She nodded.

"Erlang."

"Have you been studying here alone?"

……

The young scholar raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes."

“I’ve been studying here.”

"Aunt, what's the problem?"

……

What's wrong with her?
The woman looked at the young scholar. Erlang seemed surprised…
He is much more aggressive than he appears.

Many of his words sound fine at first glance.

But it also feels a bit prickly.

It makes people feel unhappy.

……

"I'll come here this afternoon..."

The woman got straight to the point.

"It seems like you're talking to someone."

“But I didn’t see anyone else.”

"You said so too."

"You study here alone."

……

"You're wrong."

The young scholar shook his head.

"I didn't talk to anybody."

He was talking to Xiao Xiangrui.

“I’m memorizing.”

……

Hey?
The woman was stunned.

The young lady was right...

However, she still had some doubts.

"no……"

"From what I saw, you didn't look like you were reciting."

“It’s like you’re talking to a human being.”

……

"I do not have."

The young scholar shook his head again.

"Aunt, you are mistaken."

The young scholar spoke in a flat tone.

But his attitude is firm.

……

The woman was a little confused.

"Am I wrong?"

but……

……

"You're wrong."

The young scholar said again.

……

Woman: ...

Did she really see it wrong?

……

"Auntie."

The woman stepped forward and took the woman's arm.

"My brother would talk to himself occasionally when he got tired of studying alone."

"If you feel that your brother doesn't recite what he read, then you probably just saw him talking to himself."

……

"is it?"

The woman was almost persuaded.

There was an obvious wavering look on his face.

……

"Yes."

The girl smiled at the woman.

"It's ok."

"It's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up."

"It's not a big deal."

"Auntie."

"I'll take you to wash up and get ready to rest."

"You're tired today."

……

The woman looked at the young scholar.

"Maybe I really saw it wrong."

"Even so..."

"Erlang, Auntie has something to remind you."

The woman looked like an experienced person, "Studying is about talent."

"Don't force yourself if you can't read it."

"Don't read people into oblivion."

"It's not easy for your brother to provide you with food, drink and education."

"You haven't even got married yet..."

……

The woman talked a lot.

……

The woman winked at the woodcutter anxiously.

Signaling him not to refute the woman.

No need.

Although the woman's words were harsh to her, but...

She kept telling herself...

Just one night.

The woman will go home tomorrow.

I don’t know when I will come next time.

It's probably time for my younger brother to make some progress.

When my brother really becomes successful...

The woman would not say these words anymore.

By then, all that will surround my brother will be compliments.

……

The woodcutter lowered his eyes.

He clenched his hands at his sides.

……

The young scholar also lowered his eyes slightly.

……

The woman seized the opportunity when the woman stopped and exerted a little force with her hands.

"Auntie."

"I'm a little sleepy."

"are not you sleepy?"

The woman opened her mouth and yawned.

……

Yawning is contagious.

The woman didn't feel sleepy at first.

Seeing the woman yawn, she also yawned subconsciously.

I began to feel sleepy.

……

"Auntie must be sleepy."

The woman immediately took the opportunity to pull the woman away.
