Chapter 92

When Zhao Yanlin saw Cheng Yeran and the others coming, he quickly distanced himself from the man and said, "Hurry up and leave. My classmates are here."
After Zhao Yanlin finished speaking, he went in first without waiting for Cheng Yeran. Although Cheng Yeran was curious, he would miss the exam if he didn't go in. Shen Yuntang patted him on the back and told him not to worry about it and to go in and take the exam first.
After Cheng Yeran went in, Shen Yuntang walked to the husband carrying the basket. The husband looked inside anxiously, wanting to pass the things to Zhao Yanlin, but he didn't dare to go in. Zhao Yanlin always said that this was not the place for him to come, and he couldn't go in casually, otherwise he would be driven away.
"Are you Zhao Yanlin's husband?" Shen Yuntang asked him.
"Well, you are his classmate? No, you are his brother." He looked at Shen Yuntang, and seemed to remember that a man had walked over hand in hand with Shen Yuntang just now, and that man had even entered the academy, "Are you the husband of my man's classmate?"
"Yes, my name is Shen Yuntang, and the person who just went in is his classmate, Cheng Yeran." Shen Yuntang had just seen Zhao Yanlin's attitude towards him. Even if he didn't know the situation of their family, he guessed that Zhao Yanlin disliked his husband, just like Xia Xiaowu disliked him in his previous life.
Being rejected by your own husband is a very frustrating and painful thing. She seemed to see herself in her previous life, pitiful and helpless without any solution. She thought it was really her fault and felt inferior.
"Can I ask you a favor?" He took a step back cautiously. Just now, Zhao Yanlin said that his clothes were dirty and he had a smell on his body, and asked him to leave quickly, otherwise others would dislike him if they smelled it. He didn't know what smell he had, but he was afraid of disturbing Shen Yuntang, so he took a step back.
"What help?" Shen Yuntang asked him.
"That's right, can you ask your husband to help me bring this in to my man?" He handed the basket carefully to Shen Yuntang, but was afraid that Shen Yuntang would dislike it, so he didn't dare to move forward too far. "I still have to hurry home. If I don't leave now, it will be too late."
"Isn't your home very far away? I heard that it takes a whole day to catch a bus. If you walk back, you won't get home until late at night. Did you come to the county town alone? How could your family feel comfortable letting you come here alone?" Shen Yuntang felt that he was a little naive and his guard was too low. He didn't even know her, but she wanted to give her the basket, so she wasn't afraid that he would steal his basket.
"It's okay. My family can't leave, so my mother-in-law let me come out to deliver the things by myself," he touched his hair, "and they always say I'm ugly. Even if I meet bad people, no one will have bad intentions towards me. Besides, I've been here several times. The mountain road back home is quite steep, so usually no one passes by there. I never encountered any danger every time. It's okay."
Shen Yuntang now understood that it was because the mountain road was steep and the other family members found it troublesome and feared danger, so they let him be the only husband out. Moreover, the whole family was suppressing him even though he was obviously not ugly.
He has an ordinary appearance. He won't be praised for being pretty, nor will he be called ugly. He is tall and seems to have a good figure.
It's just that he had too little self-esteem. He kept his head down, shrunk his neck, and even hunched his back, as if he was afraid that people would see his face.
"Why don't you go back? My husband is taking a day off tomorrow, so I'll ask him to drive the donkey cart to take you home. You can go to my house and rest today. I'll ask him to tell your husband when they finish the exam." Shen Yuntang thought that Zhao Yanlin was Shen Yuntang's classmate after all, and Shen Yuntang felt sorry for him and was worried that he would have to travel at night on the steep mountain road, so she decided to send him back.
"No, no, I'm fine." He had never been cared for by anyone since he was a child. He would be overwhelmed if others cared for him.

He was also very uncomfortable. He would rather work hard himself than ask for help from others.
"Aren't you going to give something to Zhao Yanlin? I'll ask my husband to call your husband home in the evening, and you can give the thing to him in person. You can also have dinner with him." After Shen Yuntang said this, his attitude softened.
"Okay, then, I'll trouble you." He was a little hesitant, but when he heard that he could meet Zhao Yanlin and give him something, he didn't care about anything else.
…
Cheng Yeran followed Zhao Yanlin in. Before he could say anything, Zhao Yanlin turned around and pointed at Cheng Yeran and said, "I know what you want to ask, but don't ask anything. I don't want to say anything."
"Don't point at me." Cheng Yeran slapped his finger aside. "Why do you treat your husband like that?"
"He came to me without saying a word, and I was not prepared at all." Zhao Yanlin withdrew his hand angrily and avoided Cheng Yeran's gaze awkwardly.
"What do you mean I'm not mentally prepared? I think you just despise him because he's a country boy. He brings shame to you, right? But aren't you also a country boy? We all came from the countryside. Who despises who?" Cheng Yeran was close to him and he had often guided him in his studies. He treated Cheng Yeran as his own and that's why he said such things. If someone else did this, he wouldn't care and would only despise them in his heart.
"What do you know? Your husband is good-looking, knows how to do business, is well-educated and well-mannered, and is a good helper to you. My husband, on the other hand, is ugly, but he is always timid and unpresentable. If people in the academy knew that I have such a husband, they would definitely laugh at me to death."
"My husband is also from the countryside. Brothers were brought up differently from boys since childhood, and they are not valued by their family. That's why you, as a husband, have to take care of him. Don't just focus on your own progress, but also pull him along when you make progress. Just like my husband couldn't read or write, or do business at the beginning, but he gradually learned how to do it." Cheng Yeran felt that Zhao Yanlin was going too far. He had the advantage of being a man who could read and write and see the world, but he looked down on his husband who couldn't see the world. It was shameful. It was too much.
"How can I take care of him? If he were good-looking, I would definitely have the patience to take care of him. But he is not someone I like, and I don't have the patience for him." Zhao Yanlin turned and walked towards the classroom, not wanting to talk about this topic with Cheng Yeran anymore.
"If you don't like him, why did you agree to marry him in the first place? Now that you're married, you have to take responsibility. If it really doesn't work out, just get a divorce and stop dragging him down." Cheng Yeran was also very angry. He knew that people are multifaceted and no one is perfect, but this shortcoming of Zhao Yanlin was very hard for him to tolerate.
"It's easy for you to say that. I spent a lot of money when I married him. And if I divorce him, who will take care of my parents? Do you think everyone has no parents like you?" Zhao Yanlin's expression froze after he said this. He realized that he had said the wrong thing, but the words had already been spoken and there was no room for redemption.
"You're going too far," Cheng Yeran's face darkened. Someone who could say such things casually must have thought about it in his heart a long time ago. "From now on, just pretend I don't know you."
Cheng Yeran walked into the classroom with a gloomy face, because he had a fight with Zhao Yanlin early in the morning and did not perform well in the exam. He was dejected all the way home.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Yanlin's husband sitting at home, "What's going on?"
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Shen Yuntang briefly explained the situation, "His name is Lin Yu, and he is Zhao Yanlin's husband. His home is far away, and I thought you would take a day off tomorrow and take him home, otherwise it would be too strenuous for him to walk alone."
Cheng Yeran thought to herself, I had just had a fight with her husband this morning, and I have to send him back tomorrow, I seem like a big complainer.
But Zhao Yanlin is not a good guy, and it has nothing to do with Lin Yu. Lin Yu is innocent. "Okay, I'll send him back tomorrow."
"Why do you look so bad? Are you sick?" Shen Yuntang raised his hand and touched his head, "It's okay."
"I had a quarrel with my classmates," Cheng Yeran put his head on his shoulder, "I felt wronged."
Lin Yu was still sitting in the back. Seeing him like this, he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at them.
He was used to acting like a spoiled brat on weekdays, but in front of outsiders, Shen Yuntang felt a little embarrassed and asked him to stand up straight first, "Why did you quarrel? What happened? Let me listen."
Cheng Yeran pouted. Since Lin Yu was here, he couldn't say anything. "I'll tell you tonight. I'm hungry and want to eat."
Shen Yuntang didn't know that he had quarreled with Zhao Yanlin, and said to him: "Do you want to go and tell Zhao Yanlin that his husband is with us? If you are tired, I will ask Yuanbao to go and give him a message."
"It's okay, I'll go." Cheng Yeran said and turned to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yang Shiming standing at the door, followed by Zhao Yanlin.
Yang Shiming was like a parent who brought his child who had made a mistake to apologize. "I heard that he quarreled with you today. He was wrong. I have scolded him. I asked him to apologize to you. Whether you forgive him or not, he must apologize to you today."
Yang Shiming felt that parents were the most important people and that one should not scold other people's parents, but Zhao Yanlin actually said such hurtful words. He was so angry that he wanted to ignore Zhao Yanlin.
But his mother was taken care of by the Zhao family, so he could only teach Zhao Yanlin strictly, hoping to correct his bad habits.
Zhao Yanlin felt guilty and didn't even dare to look at Cheng Yeran. Just as he was about to apologize, he saw Lin Yu behind him, "Why is he here?"
"I heard that your home is far away, so I brought him back first and let my husband send him back tomorrow." Looking at the situation, Shen Yuntang guessed that the person who had quarreled with Cheng Yeran was Zhao Yanlin. He didn't know what the quarrel was about and had no way to persuade him.
He knew that although Cheng Yeran had a childish temper, he had never done anything to let others down. If they quarreled, Zhao Yanlin would definitely be the one in the wrong.
"I'm here to deliver something to you. I'll leave after I'm done. I don't want to stay any longer." Lin Yu also felt the subtlety of the atmosphere. Did he do something wrong? It was all his fault and he should leave.
"Where's the thing? Give it to me and you can go." Zhao Yanlin said unhappily. He felt that what happened today was indeed Lin Yu's fault. If there weren't so many people present, he would definitely scold Lin Yu. If it weren't for Lin Yu, he wouldn't have quarreled with Cheng Yeran.
"Why are you leaving? It's so late. Aren't you afraid that he will encounter danger? I will send him back tomorrow." Cheng Yeran said.
"Is it necessary for you to care? This is my family's business. Aren't you meddling too much?" Zhao Yanlin became angry again.
"Say less," Yang Shiming was so angry at Zhao Yanlin's attitude that he had a headache. He really didn't want to care about Zhao Yanlin anymore. "Apologize to him."
