Abu nodded: "Is that brother very important to you? But my stomach is important too. Sister, buy me some steamed buns."
Cui Yulu had no choice but to buy him five more steamed buns, thinking that Han Yu'an must also be hungry, so she bought five more.
"Sister, you won't dislike Abu because he eats too much, and you won't abandon him, will you?"
Abu held the steamed bun but dared not take a bite, afraid that if he ate too much, he would be disliked.
"Eat up, I can afford to buy a few steamed buns."
Just a few days ago, I didn't even dare to dream of meat buns, but now I can actually earn money and even buy things for the people around me.
She wouldn't have dared to even think about it before.
Seeing Abu's satisfied expression, Cui Yulu felt indescribably happy.
"Now that you've eaten the steamed buns, shouldn't you tell me where your brother is?"
Cui Yulu wiped the oil from his lips with a handkerchief, looked at him gently, and her eyes sparkled with a soft light.
Abu was stunned: "Sister, you look just like your mother right now."
Are you saying I'm old?
"Ahem, I'll still take you to find your brother."
After Abu finished speaking, he took Cui Yulu's hand and walked towards the southeast of the street. Soon, a school with shady trees and a babbling spring appeared in front of them.
The environment here is serene, completely different from the noisy scene before. It is like a secluded paradise, quietly nestled among mountains and rivers, showing its majesty to the world.
The plaque above the academy's main gate bears the four gilded characters "Zhiyuan Academy," bestowed by the current emperor.
Of course, Cui Yulu didn't recognize these characters.
However, seeing that the people coming out all looked like scholars, he believed that this was an academy.
"Sister, this is Zhiyuan Academy. Brother came here."
Cui Yulu looked around outside but couldn't find Han Yu'an. Could it be that he had left again?
Just as she began to suspect that Han Yu'an had left, Abula took her hand and led her toward the back gate of the academy.
Soon they heard laughter.
There seemed to be a woman's voice as well.
Some people were crying and begging for mercy, and their voices sounded somewhat similar to Han Yu'an's.
As she approached, Cui Yulu felt completely unwell.
Two slightly older men were riding on Han Yu'an's back, and the woman behind them was Cao Jinfang, who was smiling so hard that her back teeth were showing.
"Yes, that's right. We treat him like a dog. This lowlife dares to bully me. If we don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how many eyes the Horse King has."
Cao Jinfang clapped and cheered from behind. This was the back gate of the academy, and few people passed by, so no one saw their atrocities.
Han Yu'an's forehead was broken and bleeding, and his clothes were covered in mud, especially his legs, where the clothes were torn.
Cui Yulu felt a little sorry for him. Even if he had a low IQ, it was no reason for him to be bullied.
Looking at Han Yu'an's aggrieved yet fearless expression, it's likely that this kind of thing has happened many times before.
"Climb well, and if you make us happy, we'll give you candy."
Han An kicked him hard from behind, causing him to fall forward, his mouth hitting the ground and his teeth scraping against the floor, drawing blood from the corner of his mouth.
It was clear he was in a lot of pain, but this didn't elicit their sympathy; instead, it led to even more unrestrained mockery and abuse.
"Haha, look at him, doesn't he look like a dog? He even fell face-first into poop."
Han An and Han Quan clapped and cheered, while Cao Jinfang behind them felt that half of the anger in her heart had finally been released.
Although he was wronged by Cui Yulu last night, he felt half of his anger was released after beating up Han Yu'an today. He must buy a jar of osmanthus wine tonight to celebrate.
"Sister, are you afraid you can't beat them? Why don't you go and save that brother?"
Abuwu stared at Cui Yulu with his big, bright eyes, his face full of anger.
Even as a child, he thought those two were going too far; what kind of skill is it to bully someone who can't fight back?
"Grandma, you said he got married?"
Han Quan jumped off him and stood next to Cao Jinfang, asking her questions.
"Who would want to be with a fool like him? He's probably a fool himself, right?"
After saying that, Han An and Han Quan laughed together.
Hearing the two of them mocking his wife, Han Yu'an disregarded his pain and quickly stood up from the ground.
"You're not allowed to curse my wife, you're bad people."
"Oh ho, you're such a fool, yet you know how to protect your wife. Do you even know what a wedding night is?"
Han An looked at him with a gloomy expression. He hated Han Yu'an because he was very smart.
They were very close when they were young. Han An liked to play with him. But the adults always praised Han Yu'an for being smart. He could recite poems at the age of three and speak eloquently. Even the teacher praised him, saying that he would surely become a pillar of the state in the future.
This made five-year-old Han An feel uneasy. He had tried so hard, but he just couldn't surpass him. His teacher had never praised his writing for its brilliance, which made him very resentful.
However, fate was kind to him. He finally got his chance on the Lantern Festival that year, and from then on, everyone only praised him.
He enjoyed being praised by everyone; it felt good to be the center of attention and be the center of attention.
"Heh, is your wife as stupid as you?"
At this moment, Han Yu'an was completely enraged and swung his fist at Han An's face.
This time he used a lot of force, and his fist hit him hard in the face, causing it to swell up immediately.
This completely enraged Cao Jinfang. How could he possibly let his beloved grandson get away with being beaten?
