The courtyard was crowded with people, including the residents of the courtyard itself.
There were at least twenty or thirty people outside, and some of them were even peering down the wall at the scene below.
When Sha Zhu saw Wang Shouren return, and more and more people gathered, he could hardly contain his smugness. He spun around and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Dear uncles, elders, brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters, thank you all for coming today!"
"good!"
"Give me one!"
Some busybodies immediately cheered.
Wang Shouren: ...
There's this feeling of watching a Spring Festival skit, especially with Sha Zhu's face and that smug smile.
That's a damn charming villainous smile, three parts mockery and seven parts indifference.
For a moment, Wang Shouren had too many complaints in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
"So? The results came out today, Wang Shouren, did you get into the vocational school you've been dreaming of? If you did, tell us so we can all have a laugh." Sha Zhu took his fault-finding approach in two steps. First, he mocked Wang Shouren for failing to get into vocational school. After all, this guy's previous grades could only be described as unbelievable.
Get into a vocational school? Are you kidding me!
All eyes were on Wang Shouren, and some were so engrossed in the scene that they started digging their toes into the floor.
If Wang Shouren really didn't pass the exam, then his reputation as a fool would truly be cemented.
However, to everyone's surprise, Wang Shouren actually pulled out the admission notice.
"Third Uncle, please take a look and see if this is real or fake. I'm so sorry, Sha Zhu, I've disappointed you." Wang Shouren smiled gently, not saying anything more to mock Sha Zhu. He was in a good mood today, and besides, he could give the idiot a good beating later, so there was no need to get angry.
"How is that possible!" Sha Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief. "You must be bragging!"
The old man was also somewhat surprised. He took Wang Shouren's admission notice, examined it carefully, and then said loudly, "He was indeed admitted. It's the August 1st Agricultural Machinery College."
In this era, in Beijing, those academies with the words "August 1st" on their heads were considered extraordinary by these people.
"Wow, really? So, six months ago, Ersha wasn't really stupid; he was genuinely confident?"
"Nonsense, I already said it, he's the best of the best among men and the best of the best among horses."
Why don't you say Lu Bu is the best among men?
"You don't know anything, he doesn't have a godfather."
Xu Damao said to Lou Xiao'e beside him with some surprise, "I didn't expect that kid to actually pass the exam."
"What's the big deal? He's in the yard all day long, and most of the time he's either in the library or studying in his room. It would be a miracle if he didn't pass the exam."
How do you know so much?
"Isn't that obvious? They live right across from us, how could we not know?"
"Yeah, I didn't notice that."
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes. There were plenty of things you hadn't noticed. Her gaze swept over Qin Huairu. She saw joy in Qin Huairu's eyes, but within that joy was a hint of melancholy.
"Bullshit! Grandma! How could you possibly get into a vocational school!" Sha Zhu suddenly shouted loudly, "You must have forged the admission notice yourself in order to win this bet."
As soon as he said that, the whole courtyard fell silent.
Everyone looked at Shazhu as if he were an idiot.
"Silly Zhu, are you serious?" Wang Shouren smiled, not getting angry.
The more this happened, the more flustered Sha Zhu became. He said with certainty, "Six months ago! You were still..."
"Six months ago!" Wang Shouren's voice suddenly rose. "Six months before that, my father passed away. To support my family, to survive, I was willing to risk my life for you. What makes you think that I can't risk my life to study in these past six months? If I'm willing to risk my life, how could I not study?!"
"Six months ago, I was weak, not as good as you, and my studies were terrible. Six months later, today!" Wang Shouren took the Third Uncle's admission notice and waved it around: "Silly Zhu, I spent half a year either studying or practicing martial arts every day. While you were fast asleep at home every morning, I was practicing martial arts. While you were secretly bringing back vegetables from the kitchen, I was studying. Now, I've used this to shatter the title of 'Second Silly'."
“And you,” Wang Shouren chuckled, “Shazhu, in half a year, you haven’t changed at all. Well, only a fool would say something like that—forging an admission letter? Look at the people here, who would believe you?”
Sha Zhu looked around in slight confusion and found that everyone was looking at him like he was an idiot.
He was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.
In a flash, anger surged within him, his eyes turning red: "So what?! You said before that if you got into a vocational school, you would still choose to fight me. Now, are you going to go back on your word?!"
They're here! They're here!
The audience members present became excited.
The main event is about to begin!
The preceding dialogue scene ended with the defeat of the eldest fool and the successful rise of the second fool.
Action scenes are what these guys who love a good spectacle really want to see.
The third uncle looked excited; he even wanted to go on stage and provide commentary.
"Hey, let's go!"
Sha Zhu didn't care about any rules or regulations of the martial arts world; he was in a great hurry, so much so that he wanted to kill Wang Shouren directly.
Jealousy was burning fiercely in my heart.
Why? Why could this idiot who can't even speak properly get into a vocational school? Why does Sister Qin always side with him?
He didn't even consider that if he hadn't been bullying Wang Shouren all the time, Qin Huairu probably wouldn't have talked to Wang Shouren much at all.
Sometimes, showing sympathy for the weak can bring immense emotional satisfaction, especially when that person is in a vulnerable position.
The battle between Sha Zhu and Wang Shouren was like two extremes.
Sha Zhu tried desperately to grab Wang Shouren, but he didn't throw punches like before; wrestling was his specialty.
This scene was witnessed by onlookers, who couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Sha Zhu is serious!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" There were people standing around who had never seen Sha Zhu fight before; they were just there to watch the show.
"Shazhu learned wrestling for a few days when he was little. His straight punches hurt, but they weren't as powerful as wrestling. With his wrestling skills, three to five people couldn't get close to him. I think this Wang Shouren is going to be in trouble!"
Sha Zhu's muscular physique was quite rare in this era, and he pounced on Wang Shouren like a tiger descending a mountain.
The women around couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
But before the women could even speak, a chorus of "Holy crap!" erupted.
Inside the venue, surprisingly...
