When there are too many people, some people stop being human.
This phenomenon becomes increasingly common, especially when people are overeating.
When you're not full, all you can think about is getting enough to eat.
When you eat too much, you start thinking about other things.
For example, freedom, donuts, democracy, the moon outside, and sweet air.
These people always feel that they are different from others, and then they will try every means to show their uniqueness.
They always try to refute others in order to demonstrate their own sense of superiority.
Like a desperate illiterate person, always saying that reading is useless and that only those who don't read have free souls.
The Heaven and Earth Society loves illiterate people who are stupid and easily fooled.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have fooled so many young women into believing that even at eighty, they could meet their own emperor overseas and become the most honorable empress.
Then she was pampered like a little princess, living a life with countless maids serving her.
Li Chang'an encountered many of these fairies while in Fujian.
Every time he heard them describe their dream life, he would think of Lin Youchu.
Who would have thought that a princess's favorite thing to do was cook for her family, and help her two younger sisters and the foolish Miao Qingqing with her studies and writing?
Li Chang'an's personal clothes were all carefully rubbed by You Chu's hands. Every time she arranged for a maid to do it, she would show a pitiful expression.
In Youchu's words, a person has to do something while they are alive.
Upon hearing the fat man's comments on the second floor, Li Chang'an had only one thought in his mind.
You bastard, you ate too much.
Li Chang'an wasn't the only one with this thought; all the diners at Tongfu Inn shared the same idea.
The scholar, after being lectured, slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Are you talking about your mother?!"
"You son of a bitch, if you have the guts, get down here and I'll show you what a fist the size of a sandbag really means."
The fat man, his face flushed red after being scolded, pointed at the scholar and said...
"You call yourself a scholar? You're disgracing culture."
"I have insulted your mother, you stinking idiot, you son of a bitch, look at you, your mother must have raised a dog to give birth to such a thing as you."
"Ask your mom next time you go back if the dog they keep is still there."
The fat man was somewhat taken aback by the scolding and immediately became enraged. He turned around, called for help, and then rushed down.
Liu Yue followed behind the fat man, her face looking somewhat haggard.
She hasn't been doing too well lately. Even wealthy families aren't always as glamorous as they seem on the surface.
To put it nicely, she was a concubine.
To put it bluntly, she was nothing more than a plaything to be toyed with at will.
Despite her family's objections, she married the fat man, thinking she could live a life of wealth and luxury, with several maids by her side, and never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life.
It wasn't until she entered the fat man's house that she realized how many rules there were in wealthy families.
She had originally wanted several maids to serve her, but now she realized that she was the one serving others.
Before she followed the fat man, she was at least a young lady.
After getting involved with the fat man, she lost even her decent identity.
Moreover, not long after she married into the family, a major purge of the Fujian provincial government took place.
Their biggest backer, Lord Wang Jingwei, was found guilty of treason and was executed along with his entire family by the Regent.
Fatty's father was also implicated; because some of the family's businesses involved the Heaven and Earth Society, he was also imprisoned.
Without a leader to guide them, their business became extremely difficult.
The family had no choice but to sell their large house and move to a smaller courtyard. More than thirty people squeezed into the small courtyard, living a life similar to that of ordinary people.
Although his family became poorer, the fat man did not change his extravagant spending habits.
Over time, he squandered all his savings.
Fortunately, there's always a way out. Fatty's mother still had some connections in Beijing, so his family sent him to Beijing to see if he could use those connections to make a comeback.
Young Master Wang also came with Fatty, hoping to make some connections in the capital and see if they could spend some money to get their old man out.
The reason they brought Liu Yue along was that all their expenses along the way were covered by the money she earned.
As for how to make money, everyone knows perfectly well.
Most of the time, it was Liu Yue who was serving others, while the fat man would use the money she earned to find others to serve him.
Thanks to her efforts, the fat man and his group were able to return to a decent life.
This made them feel like rich kids again, so when they heard a few poor scholars downstairs talking about Fujian, they couldn't help but refute them.
They never felt that they had done anything wrong; they only felt that the government was being too harsh.
Anyway, it can't be me who's wrong; it's definitely the whole world that's wrong.
The fat man and Young Master Wang went downstairs together, followed by several servants, and walked menacingly towards the scholar.
"Come on, you poor scholar, try swearing again."
The scholar looked at him, sneered, and showed no fear whatsoever.
"Ha, this is the first time I've ever heard of such a request in my life."
"Since you like to hear it, then I'll tell you."
“Come on, you fatso, listen up, I’ll say it again—you’re a son of a bitch, a stinking idiot!”
"Fine, fine, you poor scholar, I'm going to teach you a lesson today."
Seeing that he still dared to be arrogant, the fat man immediately rolled up his sleeves, intending to teach the scholar in front of him a lesson.
Before he could make a move, he saw the scholar and his companion stand up.
The scholar who started cursing even took off his scholar's robe, revealing a strong, muscular physique.
"Studying is my talent, but fighting is my hobby."
"Come on, you son of a bitch, fatso. Don't say I'm bullying you. All of you come at me together. I, Chen Zu'an, am going to take on ten of you today."
Looking at the two scholars in front of him, each nearly two meters tall, the fat man stopped rolling up his sleeves.
Especially their fists, as big as sandbags, made his eyes seem much clearer.
"Ha, a gentleman uses words, not fists. I'll let you off this time. Let's go."
The fat man wanted to leave with his men, but Chen Zuan refused: "Is that all? I thought you guys were so great, calling everyone country bumpkins and saying the prince isn't a good person."
"What, the prince isn't a good person, but you're the only good one?"
"At least the prince provided grain seeds that yielded 8,000 catties per mu, so that all the people in the country could have enough to eat."
"What have you people done to have the nerve to criticize the prince?"
"Who do you think you are, barking like dogs here? Don't you even know if you're worthy?"
After saying that, Chen Zuan spat on the ground: "A bunch of dogs smashed it!"
