Chapter 521: Chapter 521 Man in Black Chapter 521: Chapter 521 Man in Black “Chuner, let’s play again tomorrow. We don’t want to make Grandma uncomfortable,” Xiao Gougou said, extending his little hand and shaking Chuner’s arm.
Xiao Gougou was a sensible child. As that girl Chuner had said, in some time, his parents would sell whatever they had to send him to Private School.
“Alright, then let’s leave,” Chuner reluctantly crawled out from the haystack.
The two little ones, who initially did not want to leave, ended up hopping and running ahead of them.
Big Bull and Xuexue walked side by side, with Madam Xie following behind.
Suddenly, Xuexue stopped walking, turned her head, and looked back at Madam Xie, “Mother, I am thinking of sending Chuner to school after a while.”
That young girl had been fussing every day about Xiao Gougou going to Private School, and she wanted to go too!
“What does a girl need to read for? Don’t listen to her nonsense,” Madam Xie said disapprovingly.
Chuner always caused a fuss at home about going to Private School with Xiao Gougou, and Madam Xie knew about it. However, she believed that the best destiny for a girl was to find a good husband’s family and live a life free of worry about food and clothes. What was the use of reading books! Moreover, it was a common belief in Moli Country that a woman without talent was virtuous, fearing that if she became too educated and ambitious, she would not settle down peacefully in her husband’s home, which would only harm her.
“Mother, I know what you mean. You don’t want Chuner to go to school because you want her to be a virtuous wife and good mother in the future,” said Xuexue.
“Right.”
“Mother, but have you considered this? Aren’t you a perfect example? You’ve been the virtuous wife and good mother in the Mo family for more than a decade. What did you get in the end? Weren’t you still abandoned by father?”
Hearing Xuexue’s words, Madam Xie’s face grew darker, and she thought to herself, yes! When they left the Mo family, they had nothing, just a few bags of sweet potatoes. Had it not been for Xuexue’s competencies, she and her daughters would not know what kind of life they would be living now.
To wake Madam Xie up, Xuexue didn’t hold back and continued, “If we have the means, why not let her study? Besides, in this world, relying on anyone else is not as good as relying on oneself.”
Madam Xie’s heart slowly wavered, yet she was still full of concerns, “In Mo Family Village, no woman has ever studied from ancient times. Won’t this make our family too different?”
“What other people think is their business. We just need to do our own thing, why do you care so much about what they think? Isn’t that a tiring way to live?”
Madam Xie softened her tone, sighed, and said, “Sigh! Let Chuner decide, Mother won’t interfere.”
After Xuexue’s speech, a glint flashed through Big Bull’s eyes, but who knew what he was thinking.
That night, the moon was bright, and the stars were sparse.
Big Bull and Xuexue practiced martial arts in the yard for a while, sweating profusely and feeling uncomfortably damp, they went to the kitchen to wash up one after the other, and then they returned to their respective rooms to sleep.
The night was deep, and everywhere was silent; not even a dog’s bark was heard this evening, as if the whole world had come to a standstill.
Suddenly, a rush of hoofbeats came from the entrance of the village, shattering the silence.
All the dogs in the village were awakened, and soon, continuous barking echoed in every corner of the village.
The leader of the men in black, as if he saw nothing, nimbly dismounted his horse, turned his head, and said urgently to the few men in black behind him, “Wait here, I’ll go to report to the Master.”
After speaking, his figure flashed, and he ran towards the village like a shooting star.
He quickly arrived at the gate of Madam Xie’s house, didn’t pause for a moment, pushed off the ground, and leaped into the courtyard.
“Master, urgent report,” Long Yi said respectfully, standing in front of Big Bull’s room door.
“Come in.”
It was Big Bull’s cold voice.
