Chapter 75
75
After Yang Shiming scolded the three people, he and several good classmates helped Cheng Yeran out of the classroom and comforted Cheng Yeran for a long time. Cheng Yeran almost felt embarrassed to continue pretending, but he just saw the situation clearly. Yang Shiming seemed to be the monitor of this class, or the president of the student union of the college.
"I'm fine now. I just wanted to study hard, but I didn't expect to offend them." Cheng Yeran wiped his tears with his handkerchief. "I got it dirty for you. I'll wash it clean and return it to you later."
"How do they know that your family sells tofu? Are you from the same hometown as Xia Xiaowu?" Although Yang Shiming had never met Cheng Yeran, he knew that Xia Xiaowu was a core member of that group of people, and he had helped many classmates who were bullied by them.
However, there were too many new students, and those who were bullied did not know how to resist. Sometimes, if he helped the other party, the bullied student would suffer more severe revenge in private.

I also have to study, and even if I wanted to, I don’t have the energy to take care of so many people’s affairs.
"Well, he and I are from the same hometown." Cheng Yeran didn't expect him to be so smart. "We have some connections. He is the only one in our village who is good at studying. He is popular in the village. On the day I came to the college to study, he stopped me at the door and told me to give up my studies. I don't know why he treated me like this, even though he is so nice to other people in the village."
"Didn't the teacher say you were a genius when you were little? I think he was just afraid that you would study well and steal his limelight in the village." A classmate from Class A who looked down on Xia Xiaowu said with disdain, "Xia Xiaowu looks decent, but he is actually a filthy person behind the scenes."
Another classmate said, "I also don't like their behavior. They often bully their classmates. What's more annoying is that they have good grades. They pretend to be studious in front of the teacher, and they also pretend to be gentlemen who love to help their classmates in front of the teacher."
"Sometimes the most annoying thing about them is not that they study well but don't ask others to study, but that they pretend to be nice to the students who bully them in front of the teacher. When the students who are bullied show fear or avoid them, they will show innocent expressions to the teacher."
"If they dare to bully you again, just come find us. Don't worry, with us here, they won't dare to do anything to you."
"The county magistrate originally recommended me to study here out of kindness. I don't want to leave the academy because of those people and disappoint County Magistrate Chen's kindness." Cheng Yeran's eyes were red, pretending to be strong. "Thank you. Without you, I really don't know what I would do."
Yang Shiming: "We are all classmates, there is no reason to sit back and do nothing. I have a few notebooks, come to me tomorrow to get them."
Yang Shiming saw that his eyes were red and thought that he was timid and would not dare to go to Class A to find him. "Forget it, I'll send it to you tomorrow."
…
After they left, the tall and thin man asked Xia Xiaowu dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you tell us that he had a relationship with the county magistrate?"
"How should I know?" Xia Xiaowu's face was gloomy.
Xia Xiaowu was also confused. He didn't react. When did Cheng Yeran save the county magistrate's child and why didn't he say anything?
He felt that Cheng Yeran was too cunning for not telling him such an important thing.
When they were selling tofu and dried tofu before, the news spread throughout the village overnight. Why was there no news at all this time? Isn't this just to see him make a fool of himself? !
How did Cheng Yeran have such a good opportunity? He happened to be the son of County Magistrate Chen. He pretended not to care about money and said that as long as he had the opportunity to study, no one would believe his lies. He didn't believe that with so much money in front of him, he would not be tempted.
Xia Xiaowu felt that there was no question of the thousand taels of silver in the first place. County Magistrate Chen only promised to give him the opportunity to study. He shamelessly begged the county magistrate for money, but he chose not to study, and now he doesn't even have the opportunity to study.
After returning home, the tall and thin man and the fat man were called to the study by their father to talk. They brought their servants to school, and the servants would tell their family what happened at school.
However, the book boy would conceal the fact that they bullied their classmates. But the Cheng Yeran they provoked today was related to the county magistrate, so the book boy was undecided and told the head of the family when he returned.
These two families were big families in the local area and had a lot of land, which they rented out to others for farming. However, they moved to the county and went to the countryside to collect rent every year. They also did business and used a method similar to Cheng Yeran's, registering the business under someone else's name.
They have money but no background or power, so they are naturally afraid of people who have connections with the government.
The tall and thin man went back and listened to his father's teachings and immediately understood.
The fat man is not a simple-minded person because he can be promoted to Class A. Although there have been rumors in the city before that the county magistrate has offended several of their big families, the big families have joined forces to deal with the county magistrate and deliberately let the doctor not treat the county magistrate's son.
When they heard these rumors, they were almost scared to death. How could they dare to fight against the officials? The county magistrate's son's illness could not be cured because of the poor local medical level.
Fatty's father told Fatty that Xia Xiaowu was not a good person. He allowed Fatty to be close to Xia Xiaowu because he thought Fatty had good grades and would become an official in the future. Now he is not allowed to play with Xia Xiaowu.
The fat guy didn't really put his heart into playing with Xia Xiaowu. He just did it because he had bad intentions and wanted to join them in bullying others for fun.
Fatty's father said to Fatty, "What kind of magic medicine did he use to save a dying person? Try to get closer to him, and it would be best if you could trick him into giving you the prescription."
Fatty: "He doesn't look very smart, and he's quite cowardly. He cries easily, and he doesn't have any friends or parents. He's the easiest person to handle. If I treat him well, he'll be very open with me in a few days."
…
Later, when Cheng Yeran went to the academy to attend classes, Yang Shiming really gave him several notebooks. These were the notebooks of a top student, and the learning ideas in them were something that many people would never be able to think of in their entire lives.
Cheng Yeran treasured it so much as if he had obtained a martial arts secret book. When copying, he kept the desk clean and tidy for fear of getting it dirty.
When returning the notes, Cheng Yeran said he wanted to treat him to a meal, but Yang Shiming refused.
Cheng Yeran told him that it was the noodle shop opened by her husband, and she invited him to dinner on the opening day as a way of showing her support for him. He had no friends here, and if there was no one at the noodle shop on the opening day, it would be too deserted.
Yang Shiming felt sorry for him and sighed, "Okay, I'll ask a few classmates to go with us, but we have to pay. If you don't accept it, we won't go."
"I originally wanted to treat you, but ended up having you help me." Cheng Yeran felt that everyone had different personalities. If he insisted on not accepting money, the other party would also feel uncomfortable. When they arrived, giving them more food would be considered as repaying the favor.
Moreover, interpersonal relationships always require a familiarity process. Once they are familiar with each other, he will have the opportunity to repay the favor.
"Can I come to you to ask about my homework?" Cheng Yeran asked him.
"Sure, I'm free anytime." Yang Shiming usually likes to help his classmates, and he won't be impatient even with stupid people.
However, most people were afraid to trouble him, and usually few people would go to him to ask questions. But Cheng Yeran went to him again and again, always after class, when he was not busy.
Cheng Yeran was very perceptive and the questions he asked were not brainless ones, so the two of them could often discuss for a while.
Yang Shiming discovered that although Cheng Yeran did not have a solid foundation, he had a strong learning ability and his ideas were very similar to his, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
After he quarreled with Fatty and the others that day, Fatty took the initiative to find him the next day and said he wanted to treat him to a meal as an apology, but his tone was a little arrogant, "Have you heard of Wangchunlou? I'll set up a table, and you can order whatever you want when you go there. You've never eaten in a restaurant that big in your life, right? Today I'll broaden your horizons."
Cheng Yeran: "What are you going to do now?"
"Don't bother him." Yang Shiming and his friends simply moved to sit around Cheng Yeran. "Don't think we can't see what you are up to. You invited people to the outside of the academy to bully him? Are you really lawless?"
They drove the fat man away and said to Cheng Yeran who was surrounded by them, "Don't be afraid. We are here. He won't dare to do anything to you. How did you learn your lessons today? If there is anything you don't understand, I will explain it to you."
Cheng Yeran was surrounded and protected by six or seven people. Why did she feel like she had become a Mary Sue heroine?
I didn't expect that showing weakness feels better than going crazy. Being protected by others saves a lot of energy than going crazy, and it doesn't strain your throat.
…
That night, after he and Shen Yuntang finished their activities, neither of them wanted to sleep. Shen Yuntang asked him about the academy, and Cheng Yeran told him about the friends he made, but he concealed the fact that Xia Xiaowu and the other four had made things difficult for him. He was afraid that Shen Yuntang would worry, and the matter had already passed, so there was no need to bring it up and make him angry again.
He thought Shen Yuntang would fall asleep after listening to him, but he just lay there obediently.
Nanshan
He listened carefully in his arms.
Cheng Yeran said jokingly: "Your husband has become a popular figure in the college, you don't have to worry about me anymore."
"I'll steam some buns tomorrow morning. You can bring some over to share with your friends." Shen Yuntang asked him what kind of filling he wanted and what other people's preferences were.
"You don't have to worry about it. There is a cafeteria in the academy." Cheng Yeran felt that he was like a mother, bringing some snacks for the children at home to share with friends at school so that the children at home could have good popularity.
"The canteen is the canteen, and what I do is what I do." Shen Yuntang put his arm around his waist and leaned against him. "Are the buns too smelly? Should we make some dim sum? I've been researching some dim sum recently, but I just don't have time to make them. I've been thinking about it in my mind, going over every step in my mind a hundred times, and there shouldn't be any problem making them."
Cheng Yeran saw him yawning while talking, bent down and kissed him, "If you don't go to sleep, I'll do it again."
Shen Yuntang was so scared that he pulled the quilt and covered himself in it. "Don't do anything rash. If you have too much energy and have nowhere to vent it, just get up and do your homework."
"Don't mention such a disappointing thing in bed." Cheng Yeran crawled into the quilt with him, their noses touching. "I have finished my homework a long time ago, and I am just studying on my own. I want to try to take the exam next year. Although I am not yet knowledgeable, I can go to the exam room to familiarize myself."
"Just make a plan." Shen Yuntang yawned again. Although he was reluctant to go to sleep, he had to go to sleep. "I have to order a plaque tomorrow. I can't do it without strength. Write the name of the noodle shop before you leave in the morning. I can't find the one I just wrote."
"Can't find it? I clearly saw it was crumpled by you." Cheng Yeran thought of Shen Yuntang crying and grabbing around with his hands, and he picked up a piece of paper and crumpled it up. The crumpled paper was the one with Shen's Noodle House written on it.
Shen Yuntang punched him on the chest, and his tone was indeed soft, as if he was acting coquettishly: "Don't say it."
