Chapter 477 - 477 Going Against Each Other (2)
With that, he ignored Xuanyuan Ye’s flushed face and returned to his courtyard.
Xuanyuan Ye gritted her teeth and looked hatefully at Xuanyuan Ziming’s departing figure. She said coldly, “Demon Guard, I want her life!”
Shen Yijia carved a single word at home for the entire day. Coupled with what she had carved previously, she finally finished the first chapter of the “Analects of Confucius”. She finished carving a total of 493 words.
She handed everything else to Bruiser and Lin Shao and started reading the book she had picked up.
Mo Yuan’s period came a little fiercely this time. She had been lying down for the entire day yesterday, but she could not get out of bed today.
If not for the fact that she had changed out of her period belt, Shen Yijia would have suspected that she was seriously injured.
“Sister-in-law, I know whose book you’re holding,” Brother Hao said anxiously as soon as he learned it.
Shen Yijia paused. “Whose?”
“Wang Mingan! It’s my deskmate, Wang Mingan. I was wondering why the handwriting on it looked so familiar. I’ve seen his proposal before,” Brother Hao said excitedly.
“Wang Mingan?” Shen Yijia frowned. Why did this name sound so familiar?
Where had she heard it before?
It was definitely not in the original host’s memories after she transmigrated!
“Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?” Brother Hao asked.
Shen Yijia really couldn’t remember. She shook her head. “Then is Wang Mingan always bullied?”
“That’s right.” Speaking of this Brother Hao, he still looked indignant. “Wang Mingan is well-educated and is often praised by the teachers. However, his background is bad, so those people often mock him. I think they’re just jealous.”
It was already a stretch to say that his background was poor. It was unknown where it came from, but it was said that the money Wang Mingan paid for his tuition was dirty money his mother earned from washing clothes for the women in the brothel.
A person with such a lowly status was better than him. It would be strange if those high and mighty young masters were happy with the situation.
Brother Hao had seen him sitting alone in the corner eating dry cornbread a few times, but that person was very stubborn. Every time he invited him to eat together, he refused.
To be precise, although Brother Hao was his deskmate, the number of words the two of them had spoken could be counted on one hand. Every time, it was Brother Hao who said it. Wang Mingan ignored him.
“However, those bullies seem to have restrained themselves a lot recently. By the way, they’re the ones I told you about before.”
How could Brother Hao know that after being beaten up by Shen Yijia twice in a row, those people were now traumatized?
As long as the thought of bullying appeared in their minds, they would subconsciously think of Shen Yijia’s fist.
It was as if those fair and tender fists were staring at them at all times. It was too strange. How could they dare to do anything rash?
Shen Yijia rubbed her chin. “He’s quite good at writing. Am I not preparing to open a bookstore? Help me ask tomorrow if he can sell it to me.”
What he wrote was different from dumb stories who only placed men on pedestals.
The book in her hand was the story of a down-and-out scholar who got the help of a kind-hearted daughter of a rich family. After he became successful, he abandoned his wife and son. The daughter of a rich family raised her son alone. When her son grew up, he became the top scholar in high school and slapped his scumbag father in the face.
This was completely a replica of Madam Wang and Shen Pingxiu’s story!
Although she did not become the top scholar, she had come back to take revenge.
This was too much to Shen Yijia’s liking. Unfortunately, the story did not continue after that.
Brother Hao patted his chest. “Alright, I’ll help you ask him tomorrow.”
However, his heart was pounding. Would Wang Mingan care about his request?
Song Jingchen returned very early today. The emperor’s birthday was imminent. In order to avoid bad luck, all cases involving bloodshed had to be heard after the birthday. The Court of Judicial Review immediately became very free.
Shen Yijia was very happy about this.
She had bought a pile of cloth yesterday and Madam Li was prepared to make a few new clothes for everyone in the family.
This was especially true for the younger ones. They had grown taller, and the clothes they had made previously were short.
After dinner, Madam Li sat in the central room and asked them to line up in front of her to take her measurements again.
Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen sat in the courtyard to cool down. From time to time, they could hear laughter coming from the central room.
Song Jingchen squeezed Shen Yijia’s hand.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Yijia tilted her head and looked at him.
“Thank you,” Song Jingchen said.
If not for Shen Yijia, his legs would not have recovered, and their family would not be like this.
