Everyone eats a fixed amount of food at fixed times. The larger group has one bowl of congee and three steamed buns in the morning, while the smaller group has one bowl of congee and two steamed buns.

At noon, each person in the large class gets four taels of rice, and each person in the small class gets two taels. The rice is weighed and put into bowls to steam. When it's time to eat, we don't need this big wooden bucket anymore; everyone takes their own bowl.

This way, each student would only receive enough food each day to fill their own stomach.

"I want to see if those parents are still heartless enough to come and divide their children's food, making them go hungry!" Yang Ruoheng said.

"That's a good idea, let's do it this way." Dàyún said.

"But what if there are still such parents?" Dàyún asked again.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Guihuadao: "There shouldn't be such parents in the world..."

Yang Ruqing said: "If it really is the case, we will bring this matter to the village and the elders. Then, whether they take the child home or come forward to apologize and offer compensation, it depends on how their parents choose!"

Yang Ruqing told Yang Yongxian and another Mr. Han about this situation. That day, the two gentlemen also emphasized in class the moral virtues and principles of being a person, stressing that stealing and theft are unacceptable, no matter what kind of behavior you engage in.

A gentleman who acquires wealth, does so righteously. Since we are sitting here reading the scriptures of the sages, we should even more so lead by example.

Then, at noon when it was time for lunch, Dayun and Guihua also announced this new decision to the students. Immediately, there was an uproar among the students.

But children are still children, even if they have stolen things, their guilty conscience is only a secret anxiety and worry in their hearts, feeling uneasy and worrying about how their parents will react.

At night, Mrs. Sun made glutinous rice cakes with lard and asked Yang Ruqing to send a bowl to Old Yang's head and Mrs. Tan.

As soon as Yang Ruqing arrived at the backyard of the old house, she heard the cries of three little girls coming from the west wing.

However, before she could even cry out twice, her mouth was covered, and the sound was choked right back in her throat.

Yang Ruqing glanced toward the west room. The door was shut tight, and inside it was dim and dark with no candles lit.

Then came Liu's suppressed scolding, and San'er's broken sobs.

Aunt Four's temper is really terrible, she always vents her anger on her own children. She's incompetent!

Yang Ruqing didn't want to get involved, it was none of her business. So she turned and went into the east room.

Old Yang and Tan were both there. Old Yang sat at the table smoking a dry pipe, while Tan knelt on the bed, fanning away mosquitoes outside the mosquito net with a palm leaf fan.

With eyes that can't even see, trying to swat flies... Yang Ruqing didn't know what to say.

After entering the room, Yang Ruqing stated her purpose directly and then placed the bowl on the table.

Lao Yang glanced at the bowl of tempting sweet rice cakes and said, "Your mother is kind. Please tell her and your grandmother thank you."

Yang Ruqing curled her lips.

Turning to the bedside, he said, "Mommy, let me help you swat mosquitoes. You go ahead and eat while it's still hot. It's very soft and tastes pretty good!"

Tan did not pretend either, truly handing the fan in her hand to Yang Ruqing. She herself went to the table to eat rice cakes.

"Your aunt might have gone crazy," Tan said suddenly after taking a few bites.

Yang Ruqing's motion of fanning paused, she turned her head to look at Tan Shi. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"Just then, Tan continued: 'A few days ago, the third girl came home from school in high spirits. She even went to the willow grove to pick him up, acting as if she were picking up a princess.'"

“Today, I don't know what got into her, she came back and locked herself in the room, ranting. The third girl cried for a while, then never seen such a mother before, mentally ill!”

>

Tan munched and mumbled as she ate.

Old Yang said, “Eat yours. You can't even stop your mouth from talking while you eat?”

>Last time when you scolded Kang, she retorted after just two words from you.

"Whatever she said, the meat that fell off her body. You can scold her as you please, it's none of our business. She's gone crazy now, like a mad dog, daring to confront anyone. Even Lao Si can't handle her, he gets a headache just seeing her. We should just stay out of it." The old man said.

Tan said angrily, "I may be blind, but I'm not blind to other people's affairs."

"She gave birth to her own daughter, it’s her business how she disciplines her. If she doesn't feel sorry for her, we as grandparents don’t have to either. There's a saying: 'One slap is separated by a layer...'

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Yang Ruqing pulled the curtain down and told Tan Shi, "Nanny, all the mosquitos in the tent are gone. I'm going to check out what's happening in the other room."

Yang Ruqing arrived at the west house door silently. As soon as she stood steady, she heard Liu Shi inside, speaking in a low voice, gritting her teeth and scolding San'er.

"You useless good-for-nothing, stop talking to me about those new school rules. Just tell me why Bingbing had steamed buns today but you didn't bring any back for me?"

“You wretch, you liar! No wonder everyone says raising a son is for your old age, but having a daughter is like losing money. This isn't false at all. You heartless, rotten person, you eat and drink your fill without caring about your own mother's life or death?”

Sanya could only cry, she didn't even dare to cry loudly.

"You little wretch, you only know how to cry! Are you dumb? Speak up!" Liu Shi snarled again.

Sanya said in a wronged tone, "Mr. taught us that being a human should be honest and trustworthy, a gentleman loves wealth but obtains it through proper means."

"One should not steal, nor rob. A person's actions should be honest and aboveboard..."

"Your husband farted!" Mrs. Liu interrupted the three girls directly.

"Your master knows nothing, doesn't he? Where does he get his authority from? He should look in the mirror and see what a monkey face he has!"

“From being so poor and down-on-his-luck that he had to come out and teach children just to make a living, he's a real pauper. Calling him "Mister" is giving him face. He really thinks he's someone important, doesn't he?”

“To corrupt the children of others and hinder us from eating, such a person is not worthy to be called a gentleman!” After saying this, Liu spat on the ground.

"Bang!"

Xi Wu's door was suddenly pushed open with great force. Liu turned around and saw Yang Ruo Qing standing gloomily at the doorway.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Liu panicked for a moment, but immediately forced a smile onto her face.

"Oh, isn't this Qing'er? What brings Qing'er here?"

As Liu greeted Yang Ruqing, she pushed the third girl toward the door: "Go get Kang back. It's getting dark, and he needs to go home and bathe."

Sanya wiped her tears and walked out of the house.

Yang Ruqing glanced at the back of the third girl as she left, then turned to Liu and said: "Fourth Aunt, do you have any shame? For just a few bites of food, you forced an eight-year-old child to steal? This isn't how a mother acts?"

Liu was taken aback, her facial expression shifting through a myriad of emotions in an instant.

She quickly put on her usual act, smiling slyly and saying, "Qing'er, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word!"

“Would you like to come in and sit for a while? If you don't come in, I'm going to make some porridge. It helps me sleep well at night.”

Liu twisted her waist and walked towards the doorway, trying to slip away, but Yang Ruqing grabbed her arm.
