How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Chapter 178

"You're talking nonsense!" Jia Wanqing jumped up in anger. Although she didn't know why Sister Wanlin was so angry, she must have a reason! "Sister has always been the most reasonable!"

She put her hands on her hips, and I don't know who she learned this from, but she looked like a little teapot, which made people laugh.

Jia Wanlin lowered his head, reached out and gently held his sister's hand.

"I don't know when my Wanlin has ever been unreasonable, and I'm even less aware of your opinion of her." Madam Jia said slowly, looking up into Tian Mi'er's eyes. She felt it was wrong to argue with such a child; it was beneath her dignity. "You seem to have a problem with me, that I'm not raising my daughter well?"

These words were a bit harsh. Tian Mier was stunned for a moment and stammered, "No, that's not what I meant. How could I have any objection to my aunt?"

Jia Wanlin looked at his mother in a daze, somewhat unable to believe it, as if what he had just said was just an auditory hallucination.

"Dad, I will make the decision today." Madam Jia bowed to the old man and asked.

"You are the mistress of the house. You have the final say on everything in this family." Old Master Jia guessed what she meant, waved his hand nonchalantly, and continued looking at the chessboard in front of him.

"Mi'er, since you have objections to your aunt's family's education, you should go back first, so as not to let them teach you bad things." Madam Jia said with a pleasant expression.

Tian Mi'er was a little flustered. She walked over and tried to pull Madam Jia's sleeve to act coquettishly, but she was avoided by her. She flattened her lips and cried, "Aunt, Mi'er didn't mean that. Please forgive Mi'er this time, and I won't say it again next time. Aunt, don't you love Mi'er the most?"

"Go back first and tell your mother what I just said." Mrs. Jia said, and glanced at the maid behind her. The maid came forward and half coaxed and half dragged Tian Mi'er away.

"Wanlin, don't cry anymore." Seeing that Madam Jia had finished handling the matter, Old Master Jia looked at Jia Wanlin teasingly.

Jia Wanlin stamped his feet in embarrassment and called out coquettishly, "Grandpa~" and then dived into his mother's arms. Madam Jia held him and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Old Master Jia laughed out loud. Jia Wanqing didn't understand why, but she laughed too. Anyway, since everyone was happy, she was happy too!

Is that all? Madam, you have some guts.

"You handled it well this time." Old Master Jia picked up a chess piece and put it down with a crisp "click". "No one else can compare to my own daughter."

Unexpectedly, the old man had noticed her previous handling of the matter. The disapproval he expressed in his words startled Madam Jia. She hurriedly said, "I was wrong earlier."

"It's not that serious. It's not too late." After saying this, Mr. Jia turned to Jia Wanqing and said, "Hurry up and go to class, or Master Jiang will be angry."

"Oh, yeah!" Jia Wanqing finally remembered that they were about to go to class. "Sister, cousin, let's go!"

"Go." Madam Jia touched Jia Wanlin's head and said softly.

The three of them returned to the classroom, and Master Jiang took a look, "Where's Mi'er?"

"She went home." Xia Chu continued.

Jiang Tunan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The other girls who were writing looked up and didn't see Tian Mi'er. For a moment, their faces were uncertain and they glanced around. They didn't expect Jia Wanlin to actually send Tian Mi'er back!

In the future, you can't speak without restraint just because Jia Wanlin is in a good mood. If you are really sent back, you will definitely suffer the consequences when you get home.

Without Tian Mier, the others also restrained themselves, and the elementary school became more harmonious.

By the time of guqin class, Xia Chu could already play a complete piece. This was thanks to Jia Qingwu, who was not only proficient in the pipa but also had experience with the guqin. She had someone bring the guqin and guide Xia Chu through practice.

Xia Chu played a song called "Peach Blossom Smile". Jia Wanqing couldn't help but shook her head along with it, looking cute and happy.

Jiang Fuzi drummed her fingers, her mood soaring. She could hear that the piano music was not coherent in some places, but the song was indeed well written.

Some of the others shook their heads, then tried hard to hold it in after realizing what was happening.

After the song was over, everyone was still not satisfied.

"I've never heard this song before. Was it composed by you?" Jiang Tunan asked.

"No, I was fortunate enough to hear it somewhere else and wrote it down." Xia Chu denied.

"Can you lend me the music score?" Jiang Tunan was a little embarrassed.

"Sure." Xia Chu nodded.

"Can I teach in the school?" Jiang Tunan felt that he was asking for too much.

Xia Chu thought about it and agreed.

Tian Mier returned home crying. Madam Qiu asked her the reason and immediately prepared a carriage to go to Jia's house. Unfortunately, she couldn't even get through the door. The doorman said that the eldest lady was out and there were only young masters and young ladies at home, so it was not convenient to entertain guests.

Mrs. Qiu was so angry she was speechless, but she couldn't argue with the doorman at the Jia family's gate. She could only turn around and go directly back to her parents' home.

Mrs. Jia had already guessed that her sister would come, and even guessed that she would go back to see her parents. So she returned to the Qiu family in advance and asked someone to call back Mr. Qiu who was busy outside. She handled the matter directly at the Qiu family and did not bring it to the Jia family.

Jia Qingwu had been feeling quite energetic these past few days and was planning to go check out her shop. She'd also bring back some things. Last time, Xia Chu had mentioned she wanted to pick out gifts for her friends, but she'd been so busy she'd forgotten about it. She'd almost finished writing her reply and was planning to mail it tomorrow.

Her shop didn't have anything new, but the Jia family had a Duobao Pavilion that specialized in collecting rare items, and she thought Xia Chu would definitely be interested. However, when they arrived at Duobao Pavilion, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to bring Xia Chu with her and let her choose for herself.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the shopkeeper had already seen her and immediately left the guest in front of him to greet her, "Madam? Why are you leaving right after arriving? Are you sorry for not treating me well?"

Jia Qingwu stopped and said, "No, I wanted to choose something, but I'll come back tomorrow."

How did I meet her? Qu Pingping touched the belt of her gown to make sure it would not fall off, and took a few steps inside to avoid her. She clenched the things in her hand so tightly that her teeth were almost broken. If Jia Qingwu had not divorced suddenly and emptied the Sun family, how could she have fallen to the point of having to sell things! The master was also not motivated and said nothing. After studying for a few days, he actually started drinking! He was drunk all day long, lost his job at the academy, and his family was almost unable to make ends meet!

If she had known that Sun Wujiu was so useless and depended on a woman for support, she would not have been so eager to get close to him! But now it was too late to regret. She could only force her son to study. If he could get into high school, the family would have a chance to turn things around.

On the other side, Jia Qingwu paid no attention to her. She exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper and left. The shopkeeper respectfully escorted her to the door, looking completely different from how he had treated Qu Pingping just now.
