Yun Yuan slapped Yun Qiao, who was caught off guard and fell to the ground. He covered his face in disbelief: "Ahhh, you actually hit me!"
"You're full of shit, I'm going to hit you."
"I'm going to fight you!"
Yun Yuan was not afraid at all. She kicked Yun Qiao, and his knees bent, and he knelt down in front of his father with a plop.
Yun Yuan chuckled: "Sister, your father is not dead yet. Isn't it too early to kneel now, or are you just impatient?"
"You...you..." Father Yun was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Yunmu went over to help Yunqiao, but was kicked to the ground by her as well.
Yun Yuan clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Since you don't welcome me, I don't want to come either. I'm leaving. It's unlucky."
After she left, Yunmu and Yunqiao got up from the ground angrily.
"What should we do now?" Yunmu asked.
Yun Qiao's palm scraped a piece of skin, and she hissed in pain: "Mom, I said she was just pretending to be timid before. She's really deep-minded."
"I thought it was a rabbit, but it turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing." Yunmu brushed the dust off her knees. "Now we can only let Brother Lan come back."
Father Yun disagreed as soon as he heard this: "My father is busy with his studies, so there's no need to bother him."
Yunmu didn't care: "Brother Lan is a scholar with many connections. You can't delay your trip. The most important thing is money. Let him think of a way."
Yun's father didn't want to become a cripple. He was only over forty and didn't want to rely on crutches for the rest of his life, so he remained silent and let Yun's mother go to the town to call Yun Lan back.
In the academy, Yunlan was surrounded by a group of people.
"I heard that you wrote a letter for the girl in the brothel yesterday. Tsk tsk, you really don't mind being dirty!"
"He'll do anything for money. Writing letters is nothing. I've even seen him take leftovers from the academy's kitchen back home. He's really bringing shame to us scholars."
"You must be crazy because you're poor."
"Hahaha, isn't it just poverty that's driving you crazy?"
Yun Lan remained silent, letting his classmates laugh. As long as he didn't respond, they would find it boring and would soon disperse.
He doesn't think his behavior is shameful. He doesn't steal or rob, and he doesn't do anything immoral. As long as he is strong inside, what others say will not affect him.
Qi Han sat in his seat awkwardly, wishing he could bury his head in his book.
The person next to him patted his shoulder and said, "Qi Han, Yun Lan is your brother-in-law, aren't you going to help him?"
Seeing the people surrounding Yun Lan turn their gazes towards him, Qi Han stiffened and silently cursed the people around him for being nosy. "I... he might not need my help, and... scholars should draw a clear line between themselves and the lower class. They shouldn't tarnish the reputation of scholars."
"Qi Han is absolutely right." Wu Yong, the wealthy businessman's son who had taken the lead in teasing Yun Lan, said, "You guys suit my personality, so you should just follow me from now on."
Qi Han was delighted: "Thank you, Brother Wu."
The Wu family is a wealthy family in the town. Wu Yong is generous. A little money from him is enough for me to spend for a long time. Moreover, making friends with Wu Yong is equivalent to joining his small group and enriching my own network of contacts. For me now, the benefits are visible.
Yun Lan looked at Qi Han in astonishment, and Qi Han turned away indifferently.
"Yunlan, someone is looking for you outside."
Yun Lan stood up: "Thank you for letting me know."
As soon as Yunmu saw Yunlan, she pulled him away. Yunlan broke free from her hand and said, "Mom, what's the matter? I still have to go back to class."
Yunmu slapped her head, thinking that she was so mad at the bitch that she didn't even explain to her son.
"Your father is back. Half a month ago, a rock fell from the dam and broke his leg. He borrowed money from his companions without telling us and received treatment at the county clinic, but their medical skills are limited. The doctor said that if he wants to be fully recovered, he must go to the provincial capital. Otherwise... he will be dependent on crutches for the rest of his life."
Regenerating broken bones is not easy. I'm afraid it requires a qualified doctor in the capital to do it. Yun Lan pursed her lips and said, "Wait a moment, mother. I'll go back to the academy and ask for leave from the teacher, and then go back with you."
