"What? Become an old man? Your old man is not dead, why do you want to be an old man? You even went to the village chief to be your old man. Don't you think it's shameful to curry favor with him?"
Mingyue had just told Liu Dabi about the family reunion dinner when she saw Liu Dabi swinging his hoe on the ground, making a loud bang and questioning her angrily.
When Mingyue found Liu Dabei, he was still doing farm work in the fields. There were also several families around him who were busy with their work. Since he was Liu Mingyue's third uncle, Mingyue naturally went to talk to him first.
Now hearing him roar so loudly, the people around couldn't help but look over, their eyes full of gossip and curiosity.
"After all, I'm going to study abroad in the future, and my dad won't be at ease leaving me alone if I leave, so I recognize Uncle Chao and the others as my godparents so they can help take care of me. My dad has already agreed to this," Mingyue pulled the corner of her mouth and explained lightly.
However, these words seemed to have touched Liu Dabei's sore spot. He saw veins on his forehead throbbing and shouted in displeasure: "What do you mean by going to study outside? Your old man has told me that you will study here in the future and he will not let you go out. Besides, what's the point of you, a girl, studying so many books?"
As soon as he said this, Mingyue knew that Liu Dadong's decision had something to do with him.
Mingyue was very disgusted with her third father who never wished Liu Mingyue well and always tried to stop her, so naturally she didn't intend to give him face anymore.
She sneered immediately, "Third dad, you are wrong. My dad is not a fool. How could he give up a prestigious university and let me study here? I know that brother Fanrong didn't do well in the exam this time, so I guess you don't know that the prestigious university doesn't charge me tuition and there are a lot of subsidies every month. Do you think you can refuse such a good thing?"
At this point, Mingyue deliberately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, I forgot, Brother Fanrong seems to have to repeat his studies, so you definitely won't be able to experience such a good thing. By the way, you said that studying is useless, so why do you want Brother Fanrong to repeat his studies?"
After being bullied by her, Liu Dabei's face turned blue, then red, and then black.
He couldn't help but throw away the hoe, clenched his fists and stared at Mingyue: "What are you talking about? How can you compare with the prosperity of my house? He is a boy, and he will be the pillar of our house in the future. Who are you? When you get married, you will belong to someone else's house. You are an outsider, and you are a guest when you return to the village. You read so much books, but after you have a baby, you will just stay at home to take care of the baby. It's a waste of effort."
"Oh, who said that people must get married? Who said that I must get married? Who said that after I give birth to a baby, I must stay at home to take care of the baby?" Mingyue stared at his eyes tightly, her eyes full of mockery: "Those are all old-fashioned ideas. What I want to do and what my future life will be like are all up to my own ideas. No one can influence them. Those who gossip outside are not afraid that this karma will be retributed on their own children."
In the past, no matter how mean and harsh Liu Dabei was to Liu Mingyue, she had never raised her voice to him. She always avoided him when possible and gave in when possible.
This was the first time that Liu Dabei was refuted in person by this "niece who studied too much and became stupid". Mingyue's attitude and her last words of retribution made Liu Dabei furious.
He pointed at Mingyue's nose and cursed loudly, "That's how you talk to your elders. Do you think it's a big deal that you got into a university? Do you think everyone will cling to you? I tell you, even an old man like you doesn't dare to talk to me like this. If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists tightly, and his facial expression was particularly ferocious. It was obvious that he really wanted to take action.
As the two quarreled louder and louder, the villagers nearby saw that something was wrong and ran over, pulling the two people away while advising them:
"No, Liu Dabei, you can't hit anyone. This is a society ruled by law, not like the old days." "Just talk, how can you hit someone like that? This is your own niece, what will happen if you hurt her?"
"That's right, let's talk it out nicely. Yuewa didn't say anything, so don't get so excited."
"Yue Wa came to invite you to dinner in a nice way. It would be fine if you didn't appreciate it, but why did you want to hit her? You can't be like this."
"… "
Since everyone was working in the fields nearby, they heard everything the uncle and nephew said clearly.
Everyone agreed that it was Liu Dabei who was looking for trouble. At first, he didn't let Mingyue recognize her godfather, saying that he was trying to curry favor with the village chief. Later, he said that Liu Dadong didn't allow her to go to a prestigious university, and also said that studying was useless.
How could studying be useless
In the eyes of a group of villagers, studying is the only chance to change their destiny. Otherwise, why would they borrow money to send their children to school? Aren’t they hoping that their children can work hard and get out of the mountains
Yuewa has already said that she recognizes the village chief as her godfather. That’s because she is afraid that no one will take care of her father after she goes to study in another place. How filial and good of a child she is.
As for what Mingyue said about Liu Fanrong, because of Liu Mingyue's previous image as an honest person, everyone thought she was just stating the facts.
As for the issue of whether to have a boy or a girl, people these days are not as biased towards boys as they used to be. Besides, everyone has seen what Liu Mingyue has done over the years and knows that she is a very filial child. Even if she gets married, she will definitely take care of her father, so there is no difference between her and those boys.
This shows that Liu Dabei is an extremely vicious person, as he can't bear to see his own niece living a good life.
So everyone was blaming Liu Dabei, which made Liu Dabei very angry.
Liu Dabei's face looked extremely bad, and the anger in his heart suddenly rushed to the top of his head.
"Let me go, let her go, or I will beat her to death," he said, while struggling to break free from the villagers' obstruction. He also roared at Mingyue, "How dare you curse my Fanrongwa? No wonder my Fanrongwa is not good at studying. It must be you who cursed him behind his back. It was you who stole his wisdom. You short-lived kid, let her go, or I will beat you to death today."
Mingyue looked at him like this and couldn't help but sigh: "The man is stupid, so the knife is blunt."
Liu Dabei suddenly became even more angry, his heartbeat and breathing became very loud, and he looked at Mingyue with eyes as if he wanted to kill someone.
At this time, some villagers felt that something was wrong, so they immediately ran back to the village, ready to call Liu Dadong to deal with the matter.
