Chapter 241 They Should Beg Us
Zhu and Liu glanced at Mu Pingping and didn't say much.
Mu Pingping put down his bowl and chopsticks, seemingly having no appetite. "I've eaten in town."
He forced a smile and said, "You guys eat, I'll go back to the house and rest."
After saying that, he left.
Mu Yuyu was completely confused. "Do you think there's something wrong with Big Brother?"
"This is the first time I've seen Big Brother like this."
"Besides, if Big Brother really had eaten in town, he would have told me when he came back."
Mu Niuniu grabbed a large piece of mutton and took a bite. "Brother, it's probably because of the banquet."
"It's so hot! The mutton soup pot is so delicious!"
Mu Yuyu was puzzled, "What happened to the banquet?"
"We had a lot of fun at the party. Even though some people didn't like us, that's none of our business. We're not begging them for anything."
Mu Niuniu picked up a piece of mutton for him and motioned him to eat quickly. "Just because we don't care doesn't mean that Big Brother doesn't care."
"Big brother has a lot of thoughts. He feels uncomfortable staying at the banquet and is very concerned about those people looking down on us."
Mu Yuyu said as she ate, "If they look down on us, then so be it. We have nothing to do with them, so why should they look up to us?"
"Besides, we are the teacher's students. Those people should be begging us to speak well of him."
His words were agreed by the children.
"Third brother is absolutely right. In the village, who doesn't envy us for being able to study under the teacher? And how many people want to curry favor with the teacher?"
"The Zhou and Zhao families, as well as the wealthy families in town, have all tried to curry favor with you. This time when we attend the banquet, those people should be thinking about currying favor with us."
"Is that why Big Brother is like this? Is he overthinking it?"
Mu Niuniu took a big mouthful of rice and shrugged, "Who knows what's going on, big brother?"
"Anyway, ever since we were going to the banquet, big brother hasn't been very right."
Mu Yuyu asked, "Second brother, should we tell grandpa and grandma about big brother's situation?"
Mu Niuniu said, "Tell me later."
"Look at my brother, he's in such a state, I can't do without a solution."
He really couldn't understand, is it necessary for his elder brother to be so inferior and afraid?
I think those wealthy families are not as noble as you and Doctor Deng.
After hearing this, Cheng Zishi looked up to Muniu and the other kids. He really couldn't tell that these kids had such thoughts.
But, they are right to think so.
It was those people in the town... including the county magistrate, who were all begging him for help. As his students, Niu Niu and the others should be the ones to curry favor with them.
However, Pingping's problem is a bit serious.
Today he took Pingping for a walk around town, but the child's condition became even worse.
We have to think of another way.
After dinner, Cheng Zishi and Dr. Deng did not leave, but sat in the main room, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
Zhu and others were packing up and preparing various things.
Mu Baobao and other children sat around the brazier, eating either dried sweet potatoes or melon seeds and peanuts.
"It's a good time to talk about Pingping." Cheng Zishi was holding a handful of sunflower seeds and peanuts. "Pingping went to the banquet today and behaved very badly."
Boss Mu was the one who reacted the most. He felt uneasy and nervous. "Mr. Cheng, did Pingping make a mistake?"
"If he makes a mistake, I'll deal with him now."
Mu Laodie and others are also very concerned about this.
Cheng Zishi waved his hand to indicate that this was not the case. He elaborated, "I found that Pingping was afraid of meeting wealthy families, and he felt very inferior in front of them."
"Unlike Niu Niu and his children, who are very comfortable in front of wealthy families and have different ideas."
Boss Mu really didn't expect this to happen. He scratched his head in confusion, "Isn't this as it should be?"
"That's a wealthy family, not something we lowly people can reach."
Old Man Mu nodded in agreement and smoked his pipe.
Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San looked at each other.
"It's not that serious. We may not be as wealthy as the rich, but we are not lowly either."
"Yes, Pingping and the others are Mr. Cheng's students. They are scholars, and their status has long been different."
Cheng Zishi finally understood why Mu Pingping was afraid of wealthy families. It was the indoctrination of his elders.
In the eyes of Uncle Mu and Boss Mu, wealthy families are high and mighty and are beyond the reach of people like them.
Most importantly, they are naturally afraid of and feel inferior to wealthy families.
"Niuniu, tell me what you think of those wealthy families."
Mu Niuniu and his companions who were cracking melon seeds were called and quickly put down the seeds in their hands.
"What do the wealthy families think? Sir, it's the wealthy families who are begging us to speak well of you. They want to establish a relationship with you and Doctor Deng."
"Yes, yes. So many wealthy families came to give gifts before, weren't they just trying to get close to Dr. Deng and Mr. Deng?"
"The wealthy families are not as scary as we imagined. Compared to them, we are more powerful. We have the protection of the master and Doctor Deng."
"What nonsense!" Old Man Mu scolded, "That's a wealthy family, we can't compare with them."
"Master, why can't we compare?" Mu Baobao was very confused. "Rich people are also human beings. We don't beg them for anything."
Mu Laodi sighed, "Baby, the rich families are noble people, unlike people like us who dig for food in the fields all day long."
The baby is still young and cannot understand these things now, but she will understand them when she grows up.
Mu Baobao still didn't understand. "But we earn money with our own hands. Grandma said it's an honor."
"Besides, I attended the banquet today, and I didn't see how noble those wealthy families were."
This statement was agreed by Muniuniu and several other children.
"Those wealthy families, apart from being better dressed and better looking, are not noble in any way. They are not as good as you and Doctor Deng."
"Anyway, I think that just by standing there, Mr. and Doctor Deng look better than those from wealthy families. I'm not talking about looks."
Old Man Mu and Old Man Mu sighed, saying that the children were too young to understand this.
"The kids are right," Cheng Zishi said, "Those wealthy families aren't noble. That's just the way you think of yourself."
Doctor Deng took over the conversation, "Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have a very low status."
"The most important thing is that nobility is not determined by these things."
The thoughts of Mu Laodi and Mu Laoda have become rigid, and the father and son have no other expression except staring blankly.
Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San gained a lot and their thoughts changed to a certain extent.
Mu Baobao and other children agreed the most. That’s right, those wealthy families are not noble either.
