Chapter 177 Different
Simao's cry for help alarmed Old Lady Yang and the village chief who were chatting in the main room. They also hurried out to see what was going on.
As soon as I came out, I saw Yang Dashan chasing Simao with a stick. The stick was just picked up from the ground in the yard, and Simao ran outside.
"What's going on? Simao is already so big and you are still chasing him and beating him. What are you doing?" asked Old Mrs. Yang.
"Yes, yes, if you have anything to say, just talk it over and put down the stick." The village chief also advised.
Yang Dashan pointed in the direction where Simao ran away and panted, "He, he, he led Damao astray."
"What? He took Damao to do something bad?" Li asked nervously.
"What bad things have they done?" asked the village chief.
Old Lady Yang didn't care about her image this time. She slapped her thigh and shouted, "Oh, don't live anymore, don't live anymore. You damn child, you want to save my life. How can you take your eldest brother to do bad things? Your eldest brother is the eldest grandson in the family. How are you going to explain to your grandfather when you go down if you call me like this?"
"Hey, tell me quickly, what bad things did Simao do with Da Mao?" asked Li.
The others looked at him.
"Yes, let people tell you what bad things you have done." asked the village chief.
"Simao and Damao were running around Xiaocao'er's martial arts arena. Xiaocao'er also held some kind of assessment, and these two scholars ran over to join in the fun." Yang Dashan caught his breath.
"Did he fall?" Li asked nervously.
"Yes, did he fall?" The village head's wife was also nervous. What if Damao was injured and couldn't go to the capital? Would my brother Lin still be able to go with Mr. Zheng? Going to the capital to take the exam by yourself is very different from going with Mr. Zheng. Not to mention the cost, even with Mr. Zheng by your side, it's not something that can be done with money.
"Yes, did he fall? He will be going to the capital in a few days. What if he is injured?" Old Mrs. Yang slapped her thighs and cried.
"I didn't fall, I didn't fall, I'm fine." Yang Dashan said.
"Why were you chasing and beating Simao if you didn't fall?" asked the village chief.
"I'm just worried that he'll fall when he practices this next time. Didn't you see them taking the test just now? They were all running very fast. They jumped over such a high wall in two quick swipes. It was scary just to watch.
It must be Simao who instigated his elder brother to participate in this matter, otherwise, would a scholar like Damao do such a dangerous thing? Thinking of this, he got angry and chased him to beat him, but he didn't hit him at all. "Yang Dashan said angrily.
Old Lady Yang and Li were relieved when they heard that they didn't fall. But when they heard that both of them went to take the test, they were worried again. The test was only a temporary thing, and they were afraid that Da Mao would continue to practice like this in the future. What if he fell down one day? For a scholar, hands and feet are the most important.
At this time, Simao, who had run away, came back, followed by Yang Bailin.
When Old Lady Yang saw Simao, she quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull his ear, "Why did you take your elder brother to that martial arts arena to practice martial arts and take part in some kind of assessment? Don't you know that he is different from you? You have been jumping around since you were a child, and you are thick-skinned and not afraid of falling.
But your elder brother is not like that. He will be going to the capital in a few days. How can he go if he gets hurt? The imperial examination will be held soon. He can still take the exam even if he is injured."
"Ouch, ouch, milk, it hurts, it hurts." Simao screamed because his ears were pulled.
"You deserve the pain." Yang Dashan said to Simao.
"You still feel the pain? This pain is more painful than when you fall in the martial arts field." Li said, tapping his forehead.
Yang Bolin didn't know what to say when he saw this. In fact, he also followed them to exercise, but it was limited to running, horse stance, and military boxing. He couldn't practice other things.
At this time, Damao heard the noise in front and came out from the backyard.
Old Lady Yang immediately let go of Simao and changed her target, grabbing Damao's hand, "Oh, my dear grandson, you can't be like Simao. He has been practicing since he was a child and has a thick skin. You are different from him. You have been studying all these years and have not practiced much. You can't stand falling. Let's not practice in the future."
"Yes, yes, Damao, what will your mother do if it gets broken?" Li also grabbed Damao's other hand and said.
Damao looked at the two women at home and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Okay, I won't practice it anymore. Actually, I don't practice it normally. I just ran with them when I got home. Grandma, Mom, don't worry, I won't practice it anymore."
Sanmao and Xiaocaoer, who were walking behind, saw this scene. Sanmao didn't think much of it, but just muttered, "It's not a big deal. Just stand up after falling. You're so old, are you afraid of hurting your hands and feet?"
Xiao Caoer just smiled after hearing what Sanmao said and said, "Grandma and the others are just worried. After all, my eldest brother is devoted to studying. He spends more time on studying, so he has to take care of other things."
Only at this moment did Xiao Caoer realize the difference between boys and girls.
For a boy, studying is a matter of honor to the family. If he breaks his limbs, this wish will not be realized.
Girls will eventually get married, and if they get injured, they can still get married if their family gives them more dowry.
The elders in my family really love me, but they probably don’t love me more than my brothers. It could also be that my brothers have been away from my grandmother and parents, so they put all their love for them on me. Now that my brothers are back, I think they should love me back.
Xiao Cao'er: Actually, if I were still in my previous life, I could also bring honor to my family. But since I'm in this life, I'll just stay at home and accompany my family on behalf of my brothers. I'll let my brothers do the work of bringing honor to our family.
"Sister, Xiaocaoer." Sanmao called from the front.
Xiao Cao'er regained her composure when she heard Sanmao's voice. "What's wrong, San Ge?"
"What's wrong? I called you several times but you didn't respond. What are you thinking about?" Sanmao looked at his sister's face and felt that it was a little different from usual.
"It's okay. I was just wondering what to do if my grandma and the others don't prepare for me to enter the martial arts arena again. Also, I was thinking about the assessment just now." Xiao Cao'er was not making excuses. She was telling the truth.
"They are just overly nervous because their eldest brother is about to take the imperial examination." Sanmao rubbed the hair on his sister's head.
