Chapter 484 Ruhua's Destination
"Ruhua, the scholar has already received ten taels of silver and sold you to me. You are mine now. Hurry up and pack up and come home with me." Since Wang Laowu saw Ruhua after entering the yard, he has been staring at her, and the look in his eyes is full of satisfaction.
Ruhua felt as if her heart was being pricked by a needle. Her face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and then from blue to crimson purple. She bit her back teeth and said in a trembling voice,
"Chen Zhancai, you said you would treat me well for the rest of your life and would never let me down, why did you treat me like this?"
Chen Zhancai sneered, "Why, you bitch, remembering how good I've been to you, you're so lawless and have beaten me up time and again. If I don't sell you out, are you just waiting to be beaten to death by you?"
Ruhua never expected that she had devoted her heart and soul to this family, but in the end she got this result. Her heart was broken and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I really regret not beating you to death, you're a jerk, a worthless idiot! I treated you like a treasure, but you treated me like grass. Did a dog eat your conscience? You actually did something worse than pigs and dogs, and you're not afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Chen Zhancai's face flushed red from being scolded. He could not help but get angry and said, "May I be struck by lightning? You ignorant thing, if it weren't for my kindness, you would not be able to leave Chunfeng Tower and live such a good life. Now you are scolding me, I will beat you to death."
As he said that, he picked up the fire poker beside him and swung it towards Ruhua.
Wang Laowu was quick-witted and immediately stepped forward to hold Chen Zhancai, "Master Xiucai, please don't hit me. Ruhua is mine now. I won't tolerate her being hurt."
Chen Zhancai snorted coldly, "You're lucky to have met a good man like Wang Laowu. If you don't want to be beaten again, pack up your things and leave quickly, or I'll regret selling you to Chunfeng Tower."
Ruhua wiped her tears and said with a determined look, "Okay, I'll leave."
Then he looked at Wang Laowu who was standing beside him and said, "I am willing to go home with you. Will you treat me well in the future?"
Wang Laowu smiled sincerely and said, "Of course. If you follow me, you will be my wife. I will treat you well and will never let you suffer any injustice, hardship or suffering. Just stay at home and I will sell tofu to support you."
"Okay, I hope you'll keep your promise."
"I can do it. I dare to swear to heaven. From now on, all the money I earn will be given to you. I will listen to you in everything. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If I break this oath, heaven will strike me with lightning!" Wang Laowu's words were so sincere and touching that they moved people.
Ruhua also knew Wang Laowu's character to some extent. He was gentle and kind-hearted.
Although he looks ordinary, he is hardworking and down-to-earth.
Isn't it a thousand times better to live with such a person than to live with Chen Zhancai?
She withdrew her thoughts, took a deep breath, raised her hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
It's not worth shedding tears for a wicked man.
Since he is so ruthless, there is nothing to be nostalgic about.
She smiled softly in relief, "Come on, let's go home."
Wang Laowu thought it would take some time, but it turned out to be so smooth. He was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head. "Okay, let's go home."
Chen Zhancai was stunned, somewhat unbelievable. Just now he thought Ruhua would cry, make a fuss, and even hang herself, but now she just left as if nothing had happened.
It is said that whores are heartless and actors are disloyal. All the things that happened before were just her acting.
It seems that selling her is the right thing to do. If she runs away secretly in the future, I will suffer a great loss.
Seeing Ruhua was about to leave, Chen Zhancai hurriedly reminded her with a sneer, "Don't leave in a hurry, take all your things with you."
Ruhua glanced at him indifferently and walked away without looking back.
Wang Laowu smiled and stuffed the five pounds of tofu in his hand into Chen Zhancai's hand, "Master Xiucai, you are busy, we will go back first."
Watching Ruhua and Wang Laowu walk away, Chen Zhancai couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
Forget it, women are like clothes, if they don't fit, they have to be changed.
When one day he meets a noble man and becomes successful, what kind of woman would not be able to help him?
Thinking of this, I suddenly feel relieved.
He didn't want to eat any hot tofu now, so he touched the ten taels of silver in his pocket.
Life is short, why bother yourself with troubles?
Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, the most important thing is to be free and easy!
Let’s go, let’s go out for a big meal today!
After Chen Zhancai had money, he returned to his old idle life and thought about nothing except eating, drinking and having fun.
Ever since Ruhua followed Wang Laowu, she felt like she had fallen into a happy nest. She no longer had to worry about food and clothing, nor did she have to be anxious about money.
Wang Laowu kept his word and did not let her do any work except helping her count money at home.
But she couldn't sit idle, so she got up early every day and helped with the chores within her ability.
After Wang Laowu got a woman, he became more diligent.
Normally he only sells one basket of tofu a day, but now he sells two or even three baskets of tofu.
The two of them respect each other like guests. The wife is hardworking and virtuous, and the husband is hardworking and persevering. Although their life is not rich, it is not as good as others, but better than most.
The round moon shines over the nine provinces, some are happy while others are sad.
Chen Zhancai had no restrictions and slept until he woke up naturally every day, living a life where one person could feed the whole family.
He was free and easy, but the old couple Chen were miserable.
Since they had withdrawn 200 coins from Chen Zhanliang in advance as a tribute, they had eaten well for a few days.
They ate refined rice every day, and within a month, the rice jar was empty again.
There was no other way, the old couple had to live a hard life of eating coarse food again.
After a long time, Old Lady Chen couldn't bear it anymore. Her stomach was swollen like a toad bean. She couldn't eat or swallow.
She was so upset that she got angry at Old Man Chen whenever she got the chance.
Old Man Chen couldn't stand this humiliation any longer, so he came up with a bad idea. "Old woman, our son Zhancai has been in town for a while. Why don't we go ask him for some money? That way we can improve your food and save you from getting so angry."
Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes in displeasure. "That's easy for you to say. We don't even know where he lives. Qingshui Town is so big, where can we find him?"
"My silly old woman, you have a mouth under your nose, so why don't we ask around? Don't forget that our son is a scholar, and he teaches and educates people. As long as you ask about the Confucius Academy, you will definitely find our son."
"Yes, why didn't I think of that!" Mrs. Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, then frowned again, "What if our son has no money? Our trip would be in vain."
