Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 194 Tianxiu is precocious?

"Sign, sir!"

On the evening of the first working day after the Qingming Festival, Tianxiu came out with a test paper and handed it to Erlao for his signature. Erlao took it and saw that it was Tianxiu's math test paper for the midterm exam this semester. He looked at the score again and immediately became angry.

"You're not serious, are you? You only got 61 points, just barely passing." The second brother took the test paper and slapped Tianxiu.

Tianxiu cleverly dodged the question and argued, "How can I tell the difference between male and female denominators?" He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone as if he was right.

"You're not kidding, are you? I, your father, didn't go to school for many years, but I know what a common divisor of a numerator and a denominator is." Er Lao said angrily, throwing the test paper back to Tian Xiu, "Take it back and correct all the wrong questions, then give it to me for signature."

"How do you study, son? Do you read shit movies?" The second sister-in-law was also very angry.

"Who knows, it's a male one moment and a female the next moment," Tianxiu said stubbornly as he walked back to his room, making the second brother and his wife very angry. The second brother shouted fiercely, "If you don't finish writing, you won't be allowed to eat tonight, you poor boy."

At this time, a woman broke into the Kang family, shouting, "Tianxiu, Kang Tianxiu, come out."

"Auntie, grandma, who are you?" The old maid stopped her.

"I'm the mother of Tianxiu's neighboring classmate. Let me tell you, this is a big deal." The woman was not angry when she was stopped, but just said with a sad face.

"What's the big deal? Did your child have a fight?" The second brother and his wife's tone weakened when they heard that it was the classmate's mother who came to their house.

The woman shook her head and denied it, saying, "He didn't fight with my daughter." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't hit the female classmate. But the next words from the classmate's mother shocked everyone, "You Tianxiu is pursuing my daughter."

"Ah? My boy is chasing after your girl?" The second brother was full of disbelief, "How old is he? Are you kidding me, Auntie?"

"Of course it's not a mistake." The classmate's mother said with certainty, "I recently noticed that my daughter was always staring at the bell on her schoolbag. When I asked her, I found out that it was given to her by Tianxiu."

She took out a bell from her bag and showed it to everyone, "Why did you, Tianxiu, give a bell to my daughter for no reason? It means you are pursuing my daughter. Her grades have been bad recently, and she has dropped more than ten places."

Although the second sister-in-law was panicking, she couldn't let anyone have a reason to accuse her of such a thing, so she denied it forcefully, "Auntie, these bells are sold everywhere for only a few cents, so what's the big deal? It didn't say it was sent by Tianxiu, so don't wrongly accuse us."

But as luck would have it, Tianxiu fell into the trap himself. He took out the test paper again and said, "Dad, I don't know how to answer this question."

"Is this Kang Tianxiu? If you don't believe me, just ask him." As soon as the classmate's mother saw Tianxiu, she grabbed him and said, as long as Tianxiu admitted it, it would not be the turn of others to refute, "Did you give this bell to my daughter?"

"Yes, she likes it very much." Tianxiu didn't think too much and admitted it directly.

"Tianxiu, why did you give her a bell?" Zhu Wanling was a thoughtful person. She asked before her classmate's mother got angry. It was very common for classmates to give gifts to each other. Just make it clear.

Tianxiu looked puzzled, not understanding why the adults were looking at him so seriously. He said, "It's normal to give her a bell. It's not expensive."

"That's right, it's normal for classmates to give each other gifts." Zhu Wanling said affirmatively. The second brother and his wife also nodded, firmly denying that Tianxiu gave the gift because he liked it.

The classmate's mother was speechless. She saw Tianxiu holding a half-eaten fried chicken wing in his hand and asked, "You just love to eat these fried chicken wings?"

"If he likes to eat, so what? Did your daughter give it to him?" The second sister-in-law retorted as if she was under pressure. "If he likes to eat, then it's a big deal. So you are a foolish mother. Didn't you read the newspaper?" The classmate's mother found a breakthrough. "The newspaper said that these kids who often eat these fried chicken wings have beards at the age of twelve or thirteen. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what she meant.

"It's because he's precocious!" the classmate's mother insisted.

"Pfft" Zhu Wanling burst out laughing. Growing a beard at this age is a physiological knowledge, which is her strong point. "Tianxiu's mother, you are wrong. Growing a beard is a manifestation of a boy's secondary sexual characteristics. Boys' secondary sexual characteristics appear between the ages of 10 and 14, and they will first appear with a Adam's apple and a change in voice."

"As time goes by, they will grow beards and armpit hair, their muscles will become stronger, and their bones will become stronger. This is a normal physiological phenomenon as boys gradually mature."

"So, scientifically speaking, growing a beard at the age of 12 or 13 is normal, not precocious."

Zhu Wanling talked about her professional knowledge, and the second sister-in-law became even more proud. "Did you hear that? This is normal. What does it matter if you like fried chicken wings or not?"

"That's right, auntie. There are some things that can't be said casually. It's not good for children to hear them. Children are still young and how can they understand what likes and dislikes, or whether to pursue someone or not." The mother also comforted her with kind words.

"I never hide anything when teaching my daughter. She will listen to it sooner or later, no matter whether it's good or bad. Besides, it's obvious that it's your Tianxiu who is pursuing my daughter. Shouldn't I do anything about it?" The classmate's mother was still very determined that Tianxiu was pursuing her daughter.

"Sister, let's put it this way. We will find out about Tianxiu's matter, and you please go back first, okay?" The old man didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he ordered her to leave.

"If my daughter's grades don't improve in the future, you Tianxiu will be the one to blame." The classmate's mother said something harsh and left. The second sister-in-law was not a pushover either. She chased after her and scolded, "Is your last name Lai?"

"It's normal for classmates to interact with each other. There won't necessarily be so many problems." Kang Qirui shook his head. He didn't think Tianxiu knew about sex at such a young age. He asked Tianxiu, "Xiuzi, tell your uncle why you gave him gifts?"

"That female classmate really likes me." Tianxiu said something shocking again, "Last time I lost a pen, I didn't dare to tell my mom because I was afraid that she would scold me. She saw that I didn't have a pen, so she bought me a new one. It was very expensive. She also gave me a heart-shaped card. I bought her a bell because we were good friends."

"A heart-shaped card? What's written on the card?" Er Lao asked nervously.

Tianxiu shook his head. "Nothing was written."

"How ridiculous! Tian Xiu gave her a bell and said he stole her daughter's heart. But her daughter also gave him a heart-shaped card and a pen. Does that mean he stole my daughter's heart?" The second sister-in-law was furious after hearing this. She picked up the phone and said, "How ridiculous! Let's call her first and ask her what's her home phone number, Xiuzi?"

The second brother stopped her from making the call, "I'm being kind to you. This embarrassing thing has been publicized everywhere. Do you want to put it in the newspaper?"

"She was wrong. She insisted that my son seduced her daughter. In fact, it was her daughter who seduced my son." The second sister-in-law said angrily, "Good job, son."

Kang Qirui was completely speechless. Is this something to be proud of? "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Do you really want Tianxiu to pick up girls now?" He smiled bitterly.

"Children's affairs are not that complicated. They are just classmates caring about each other. It's just that you adults are imagining things and always bring it into love affairs. Children don't have such thoughts."

Zhu Wanling also agreed with Kang Qirui's statement. She said to her second sister-in-law, "That's right, second sister-in-law, it's very common for children to give each other gifts. The world of children is very simple. You don't have a pen and you don't want to be scolded by your parents, so as a friend, I will give you a new pen. You gave me a pen, and I will give you a bell in return to thank you. This is such a simple thing, there is no such thing as who is seducing who, don't think too much like her mother."
