Chapter 139 is indescribable
As Lin Cai passed Lin Hu, she paused for a moment: "The cook didn't slack off."
Then, to Lin Hu's increasingly shocked gaze, he walked out the door.
Longxing Academy.
When Lin Cai arrived, the students in the academy had already started their morning reading. She came to the gate of the academy and introduced herself and her purpose.
The gatekeeper ran inside, and a moment later a page boy ran out. Seeing the door, Lin Cai quickly invited him in.
Lin Cai followed the pageboy through a maze of turns until they arrived at a house. The pageboy stood at the door and gestured for them to enter.
"Please come in, Madam. The tutor will be here in a moment."
Lin Cai said thank you and went inside. Everything was already prepared, with tea and snacks. It seemed she would have to wait there a while.
Half an hour later, a series of footsteps approached, and the first thing that came into view was Sanhu.
The little guy has grown taller, about three inches taller than when he left home. His height is so obvious that you don't even need to measure it.
Upon seeing Lin Cai inside the house, Sanhu immediately ran over, his eyes sparkling as he looked at her.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? Are your legs numb? Are you hungry or thirsty? Would you like me to bring you some more snacks?"
"You're still a primary school student, asking me so many questions at once. Which one should I answer first?"
Upon hearing this, Sanhu raised his hand and scratched his head. He was just worried that she might be uncomfortable, hungry, or thirsty and wouldn't want to say, which was why he asked.
Lin Cai knew the little guy meant well, so she reached out and ruffled his hair: "How have you been lately? Why didn't you write a letter if you had any problems? Do you know how worried your brother is about you?"
Upon hearing this, Sanhu lowered his head: "You were summoned here by the Master, weren't you?"
"I didn't steal anything, those things are all mine, but they don't believe me!"
When he said this, he looked directly at Lin Cai, his pure gaze revealing no trace of pretense.
"I believe you, but can you tell me what you lost?"
Sanhu counted on his fingers and recounted the things he had lost. By the end, the little guy was still quite angry.
“That Zhou Wenxuan is really despicable. He knows my family is poor, so he thinks I can’t afford those things. Then he went to the teacher to slander me, saying that I stole his things.”
Do you know what Zhou Wenxuan's family does?
Sanhu nodded: "I know, their family also makes pastries, but business has never been very good, and I heard they're about to close down."
When he came to Longxing Academy, Zhou Wenxuan kept showing off, either his status or his family's pastries.
He always says that his family's pastries and cakes are delicious, something you can't find or buy anywhere else.
But after he brought some pastries from home to the academy, Zhou Wenxuan changed.
Every day, they either cause him trouble or let others bully him, making his table and clothes dirty and messy.
He didn't want to deal with them and just tidied up his things, but he didn't expect them to escalate their behavior.
He got ink on his clothes, which he couldn't wash off, and was then punished by his teacher to copy the text.
Later, Zhou Wenxuan saw that his coat and shoes were nice and warm, and wanted to take them for himself. When he refused, he asked others to go with him to complain to the teacher.
It's said that he stole Zhou Wenxuan's coat, but that coat was actually handmade by Lin's mother; the fabric and cotton were bought by Lin Cai herself.
The cotton inside is all new cotton, and the outer fabric is also top-quality fabric. If you were to sell this outside, you definitely wouldn't be able to buy it for less than a few taels of silver.
Because of this, everyone said that Sanhu's family was very poor and couldn't afford it at all, while Zhou Wenxuan's family was in business and he could definitely afford it.
When the Master learned of this, he asked both men, but both of them said that the jacket was theirs.
Unable to find the true owner, the teacher simply put the coat away and sent a note to the parents of both students.
After hearing the reason, Lin Cai looked at Sanhu and said, "You've been studying for a few months now, how come you can't even prove something as simple as this?"
Sanhu knew he was quite stupid, so he lowered his head and remained silent after hearing this. Lin Cai then lifted his head up.
"Why are you looking down? Look up and listen to me carefully. That coat is yours, so do you remember who made it for you?"
"What else did you make when you were making your padded jacket?"
"That classmate surnamed Zhou, even if he has the same jacket, with the same pattern and stitching, does that mean his body type is the same?"
Upon hearing this, Sanhu's eyes immediately lit up.
That's right, Zhou Wenxuan's family owns a shop, and it's a pastry shop. Zhou Wenxuan has always loved eating pastries since he was a child.
This has caused his weight to never go down; Zhou Wenxuan is now so much so that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's twice as big as the Three Tigers.
How could someone with such a large body possibly fit into Sanhu's clothes?
Seeing the little guy's eyes light up, Lin Cai continued, "Right now you have a weight difference, but what if the other person had the same weight as you?"
What should you do then?
Hearing this, Sanhu fell into deep thought. His mother was right; Zhou Wenxuan was indeed different in size from him.
But what if, what if, someone who looks just like him appears in the future? What should he do then?
Sanhu thought for a moment, then shook his head; he couldn't figure it out.
Lin Cai gently tapped the little guy's forehead: "You've been wearing the clothes I made for you for so long, haven't you noticed anything wrong with them?"
Sanhu was a little confused. He looked down at his coat and couldn't figure out what was different about it.
Seeing that the little guy still didn't understand, Lin Cai directly turned the cuff of his left sleeve outwards.
Seeing the obviously different marks, Sanhu's eyes widened, and his gaze towards Lin Cai was full of surprise.
Knowing that Gu Changliu's family had also arrived, Zhou Wenxuan's mother immediately rushed over.
"You're here, so why are you hiding? Do you feel ashamed that your child stole something and can't show your face in public?"
"If you ask me, that's true. If my own child did something like that, I would be so ashamed that I wouldn't dare to go out again."
Before the person could be seen, the voice came in, and Sanhu frowned like a little adult.
He had met Zhou Wenxuan's mother before, and that lady really surprised him, even though there was no shortage of shrewish women in Gujia Village.
But none of them were as indescribable as that lady.
