Quick Wear: The heroine refuses to be in love

Chapter 868 Scapegoat (2)

Upon seeing this, Xu Jinhuan burst into tears: "Mom, I was wrong, please don't hit me, I know I was wrong. I should be your slave, your father's, and your younger siblings' servant. I can't fight back against you, please don't hit me, I know I was wrong."

Xu Jinhuan cried out loudly.

The village chief's face darkened, and he scolded, "Huang Xiu, what are you doing? If a child makes a mistake, just teach him properly. What kind of behavior is this, shouting and beating him?"

Huang Xiu instinctively complained, "Village chief, don't you know this child..."

“I didn’t make a mistake,” Xu Jinhuan explained.

“My mom thinks I look like my grandma, and she hits me at the drop of a hat.”

"Is that so?" the village chief asked with a dark face.

"That's not how it is," Huang Xiu explained somewhat flusteredly. "Don't listen to this brat's nonsense. I hit her for no reason at all. It's because she's so ignorant."

“How am I being disobedient?” Xu Jinhuan retorted loudly. “I’m treated like a slave at home. If you tell me to go east, I won’t go west. If you tell me not to go to school, I haven’t read a single book. How am I being disobedient?”

"He hasn't read a single book in his life," the leader, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up.

Xu Jinhuan nodded through her tears: "Yes, my mom said it's useless for girls to study, so she won't let me study and wants me to stay home to take care of my younger siblings."

When it was time for them to go to school, I wanted to study, but my mom wouldn't let me. She said I was too old to concentrate and would just be a waste of their money.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiu not only did not realize that she was wrong, but instead said confidently, "What did I say wrong? What kind of books would someone as stupid as you read? Those books are for smart people."

"Is Xu Ce the smart guy? The smart guy who only scored around ten points on the final exam?"

"What do you mean by that?" Huang Xiu was furious when she heard this brat dare to talk about her son. Her eyebrows furrowed and she reached out to hit her.

"Am I wrong? You say he's smart, but has he ever passed his exams?"

"Don't talk about your brother. No matter what, your brother is smarter than you," Huang Xiu roared.

She reached out and grabbed Xu Jinhuan, "You brat, get your ass home right now, what are you making a scene here for?"

"Uncle Village Chief, I want to go to school," Xu Jinhuan said, looking up at the village chief.

"Huh?" The village chief was stunned for a moment.

"Doesn't the country implement compulsory education? Can't I go to school?" Xu Jinhuan said.

"Yes, you can, but you're already so old."

“I have been teaching myself.”

The village chief looked at the leader beside him with some difficulty.

The leader said, "Studying is a good thing. Since the child wants to study, let her go."

How could he possibly tell her not to read such words?

Since the leaders had spoken, the village chief had no choice but to comply.

He responded and was about to say something when Huang Xiu roared, "No!"

She glared at Xu Jinhuan angrily: "If you go to school, who will do the housework?"

“I’ve been doing this for so many years, can’t I let someone else do it?” Xu Jinhuan retorted.

"No, they are not like you."

"How are they different? Is it because I look like my grandma and they don't?" Xu Jinhuan mocked.

Huang Xiu was speechless for a moment, and could only express her anger with her eyes.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at her and said contemptuously, "It wasn't me who bullied you back then, it was Grandma. You didn't dare to take revenge on her, but you only dared to vent your resentment on me, just because I'm your daughter? You deserve to be used as a punching bag."

Huang Xiu felt embarrassed by what she was being said and raised her arm to slap her.

The village chief saw this and quickly stopped them.

Seeing that the matter couldn't be resolved quickly, the leader nodded to the village chief and said, "I still have some matters to attend to in the county, so I'll head back now. Please inform me about this child's situation when you have time."

The village chief responded and respectfully saw the leader into the car.

As soon as the leader left, the village chief's face darkened, and he looked at Huang Xiu, "I think your daughter is right. Your mother-in-law has a grudge against you. What kind of person are you to bully a child?"

Huang Xiu stammered, then hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is."

"What is that?" the village chief glared at him. "You'd better explain yourself clearly!"

Huang Xiu dared not speak, her head hanging lower and lower.

The village chief then berated Huang Xiu: "From now on, you are not allowed to hit children, or I will arrest you!"

Huang Xiu pouted in dissatisfaction.

The village chief didn't care whether she was satisfied or not.

He then looked at Xu Jinhuan and said, "Do you really want to go to school?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "I'm willing to learn anything as long as I can leave this family. I'm only sixteen years old, and my parents want to sell me off. I don't want to."

Huang Xiu opened her mouth to explain, but was glared at by the village chief.

After thinking for a moment, the village chief said, "Your aunt has a cousin who runs a hair salon in the city. Do you want to learn? I can send you there to learn."

Xu Jinhuan readily agreed: "Okay, thank you, village chief!"
