Chapter 480 Dare to Hit Me
Qingshui Town.
It is said that after Chen Zhancai asked Liu Fengjiao for two hundred coins, he rented a house and stayed at home sleeping all day.
It was not until Ruhua urged him to find a job that he lazily went to the Confucius Academy.
Master Ye of the Confucius Academy did not want to keep him.
But he was a scholar after all, and he could not be offended easily, so he was reluctantly arranged a teaching job for him.
Chen Zhancai is good at bragging, but when it comes to teaching, he is misleading students.
When he taught students, he either told stories or made up some weird theories.
Or it's just the same old nonsense.
When he started teaching, the students either slept or made trouble.
Even if he ran out to play, Chen Zhancai didn't care and continued to talk nonsense. He only shut up when the get out of class was over...
When I have nothing to do, I go looking for trouble with Chen Han.
He was either punished by being made to copy books or by being asked to memorize the entire "Book of Rites" in one night.
He relied on the power in his hands to make things difficult for Chen Han everywhere, just because he disliked Chen Han.
Chen Han ignored him and continued studying as usual. When he didn't understand something, he went straight to ask Master Ye, bypassing Chen Zhancai.
This move completely angered Chen Zhancai.
On this day, he was bragging in class again, talking about how hard he studied and how he passed the imperial examination in one go. The students who were listening were distracted.
Only Chen Han put aside his distracting thoughts and copied the text left by Master Ye.
Seeing this, Chen Zhancai was so angry that he gritted his teeth. In order to vent his own selfish desires, he kicked Chen Han out of the classroom and left him outside in the rain for the entire class.
This scene happened to be seen by Master Ye. Thinking about the rumors about Chen Zhancai in recent days, he was very angry.
He believed that Chen Zhancai had disobeyed his teacher and was not qualified to be a teacher.
In order to prevent him from ruining the reputation of the academy, he was decisively sent away.
Chen Zhancai had no job to make a living, and he spent his days eating and sleeping, and slept and ate, leisurely and happy.
Later, at Ruhua's suggestion, he found a job copying books.
But he worked for less than two days before he was driven back.
The reason was that not only was his handwriting ugly, but he also copied the wrong characters, wasting dozens of sheets of good rice paper.
Seeing that Chen Zhancai was doing nothing all day and that there was not much food left at home, Ruhua could not help but sigh and complain.
"Now that I have lost my livelihood, how am I going to live?"
When Chen Zhancai heard this, he was furious and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Stop bothering me. Just live your life as usual. Can't you live without me? If you have the guts, go out and make some money!"
"A man you marry provides you with food and clothing, yet you don't even think about how to support the family. You're asking me, a woman, to earn money. Is that even humane?"
"Don't lecture me now. I want to make money more than anyone else, but those bastards are too picky to recognize gold and jade. They're either picky or look down on everything. I have so much talent but no place to use it. What should I do now? I can't go to the docks and work hard to support my family, can I?"
"If you can endure hardship, it's not impossible." Ruhua now completely understood that Chen Zhancai was a complete loser.
I have no merits at all. Not only do I have no abilities, but I am also unwilling to work hard. In the end, I am dissatisfied with everything. I am hopeless.
How could I have been so blind as to fall for such a useless thing? I really regret it!
Chen Zhancai was immediately furious. He pointed at Ruhua viciously and shouted,
"You are such an unreasonable, complaining woman. Don't forget, I am a scholar. How can I do the same dirty, tiring and menial work as the lower class people? If this gets back to Nanshan Village, won't I be laughed at?"
"Okay, when it comes to survival, face is worthless. As long as I rely on my own abilities and hard work to earn money to support my family, I don't think it's shameful at all."
"That's simply a woman's opinion, it's unreasonable! I, Chen Zhancai, can have nothing, but I can't lose my face!"
"You're just trying to save face and end up suffering. Don't you know what our family's conditions are?" Ruhua looked at Chen Zhancai with some dismay. "If you can't figure out a way to make money, we'll be begging in a matter of days or half a month."
Chen Zhancai was truly furious. His face was ashen and his eyes were blazing with fire. "Ruhua, Ruhua, when I first met you, I thought you were different from other women. I didn't expect you to be so vain and scornful of the poor and the rich. I was truly wrong. I shouldn't have redeemed you from Chunfeng Tower."
Ruhua was almost mad at these words and fainted, "You are wrong, I am also blind!"
"You damn bitch, how dare you talk back to me? I'll beat you to death!" Chen Zhancai was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her.
Ruhua had been holding back her anger for a long time and was in urgent need of venting it.
Seeing Chen Zhancai was about to take action, she didn't even think twice and kicked him.
Chen Zhancai was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground.
His face was half shocked and half annoyed. "Shameless you, you, you dare to fight back? I'll beat you to death!"
Ruhua was so angry that she had lost her mind. Without waiting for him to get up, she rushed forward and slapped Chen Zhancai in the face several times, beating and cursing him.
"You are useless. You have read so many books in the past few years and you are really bad at everything. You are only good at bragging.
I made you lose your ambition and made you brag about your own strengths.
I serve you all day long like I serve my ancestors, but you still want to hit me.
Today I will let you know that I am not a sick cat who can be bullied by others."
Chen Zhancai was stunned. Ruhua used to obey him in everything.
He said one was one, and he said two was two, and she would never dare to talk back.
But what happened now? Not only did he talk back, he even beat me up.
If we don’t subdue her this time, what will happen in the future?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhancai struggled to stand up.
Ruhua felt more and more relieved as she fought, and finally she swung her arms left and right.
They didn't give Chen Zhancai any chance to breathe, and beat him until he was dizzy and begged for mercy.
"Good Ruhua, calm down and stop hitting me. I know I was wrong. I will never hit you again. Stop it now."
Seeing Chen Zhancai's cowardly look, even though she knew he was just admitting his mistake perfunctorily, Ruhua couldn't help but soften her heart.
She withdrew her hand, and tears of sadness could not stop flowing down.
"My husband, it's not that I want to hit you, it's that you disappoint me. I never thought of a life of wealth and luxury when I was with you. I just wanted to live an ordinary life with you. But now you have no ambition at all. You don't want to do this or that. What do you want to do?
Our family can hardly even meet the most basic needs of food and drink right now. How can I expect you to stay calm?
I tell you, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you don’t want to starve and want to be respected by others, you must work hard and don’t be insatiable in doing anything.
Don't forget, there are still old people at home waiting for you to support them!"
