Chapter 57 Who Will Believe You
Master Liu was so angry that his face turned purple when he heard Xu Zhichun scolding him with harsh words without giving him any face, even though every word he said was the truth.
My wife is a fool. She let the cat out of the bag with just a few words, and this vulgar woman took advantage of her weakness. So why should I hide it?
There are no outsiders here anyway.
It would be better to teach her a lesson and vent your anger!
Who does she think she is? How dare she act so impudently in front of me? I will definitely make her regret this.
Master Liu gave Xu Zhichun a sinister smile, his already skinny face looking even more ferocious. He sneered at Xu Zhichun, "Yes, you're right. I'm just torturing him, so what can you do about it?"
"You admitted it!" Xu Zhichun was furious. "You are a hypocrite. I want to tell everyone that you are not worthy of being a teacher."
Master Liu laughed heartily. "Go ahead, if you have the guts, go tell them. Do you have evidence? Do you think others will believe me, a student, or you, a shrew?"
"shame on you!"
"Hmph, so what? You're just being arrogant right now, but have you ever thought about the price you'll have to pay? As long as I say that Liang Mingxuan has bad behavior and is disrespectful to his teachers, do you think he'll still be able to pursue the path of imperial examinations?"
"You are jealous of my Mingxuan, right?"
Master Liu was so embarrassed and angry that his face turned black. "How could I be jealous of a ten-year-old kid like him? Haha, what a joke! Stop your lies, you bitch!"
"You're anxious! You're angry out of shame." Xu Zhichun bluntly exposed his anger, tearing off his whitewashed face. "You passed the Tongsheng exam in your twenties, and you can't go any further. You're unwilling to accept this, and you're jealous of my Mingxuan, who is known as a child prodigy at such a young age. He's only ten years old this year, but he's completely confident of passing the Tongsheng exam. You've tried every means to stop him from taking it, and he doesn't want to, so you're just jealous."
"I was doing that for his own good—"
"Oh, you know it clearly in your heart! That's one thing, but the other thing is, you have high hopes for your son, but unfortunately, he is not a good student. He couldn't even learn a copy of the Three Character Classic in a year, while my son Mingxuan could recite it by heart in less than a month. You are even more jealous!"
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Every word Xu Zhichun said was like a sharp needle, piercing Master Liu's heart. Master Liu was filled with shame and anger, and was filled with jealousy and rage.
Xu Zhichun looked at Liu Fenghua, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Are the white flour buns that my Mingxuan brings every noon delicious? Five white flour buns, and your family snatched them all up, leaving none for him. Even so, you would have given him a mouthful of black flour porridge or a brown rice and vegetable dumpling, but no, you just let him go hungry all day. Are you still human? You are ghosts. Jealousy has changed you beyond recognition, and you are so vicious. Aren't you really afraid of retribution?"
Madam Liu's face turned red and white, and she couldn't help crying: "I wanted to leave one for him, but my husband said that he was a child and could bear hunger. It didn't matter if he missed a meal. He would study better if he was hungry. I, I, I just..."
Hearing Madam Liu's shameless words, Xu Zhichun felt both distressed and angry for his child. "So it's okay for children to skip a meal? So, if you go hungry a little, you'll learn better. It seems your son's academic performance is poor because he eats too much."
"Shut up!" Master Liu was truly stung by Xu Zhichun's words, and he was so angry that he blurted out, "You are Liang Mingxuan's sister-in-law? Very good, just because you dared to come to my house and cause trouble today, I tell you, Liang Mingxuan's future is over! He will never be able to take the imperial examination in this life! All this is your fault! Tell me, if he knew it was you who harmed him, what would he do?"
"You ignorant fool!"
"Do you think you can confuse right and wrong?"
"I can!" Master Liu glared at her fiercely, sneering cruelly, "Because I'm a student! And I'm his mentor. Whatever I say goes!"
Xu Zhichun looked at him calmly: "Really? But I believe there is still justice in this world. I believe justice is in the hearts of the people. If you think of a way, you can always do it."
Master Liu laughed wildly: "Justice? Justice? What I say is justice and justice! Find a way? What can a bitch like you do? I tell you, at this point, even if you kneel down and beg me, I will not forgive you."
Xu Zhichun didn't say anything.
Madam Liu's face suddenly turned pale as a ghost. She opened her eyes wide in fear, trembling all over, and screamed shrilly: "Husband! Husband!"
Madam Liu's voice was trembling uncontrollably, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
Master Liu had always looked down on his wife, believing her to be foolish and inept. He felt they had nothing in common and could not connect spiritually. He was filled with deep sorrow and anguish. If he had not failed the imperial examination and remained a student, he would have divorced her long ago.
Seeing her frightened and cowardly look, he felt even more disgusted: "You too shut up! Useless idiot!"
Liang Lizheng laughed, "Master Liu, you are so majestic."
Meng Lizheng sighed softly. It was so shameful. Quanshan Village had lost all its face.
Master Liu's head buzzed and went blank.
He turned his head slowly and stiffly, and saw a cruel scene that would never be erased from his mind for the rest of his life.
Meng Lizheng, Liang Lizheng from Liangjia Village, and Doctor Jiang from Quanshan Village, three people with six eyes, all looked at him with indescribable expressions.
It’s over!
Master Liu stood up suddenly, stumbled backward and accidentally tripped over the hem of his robe, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Husband!" Madam Liu exclaimed and hurried over to help her.
"Get lost!" Master Liu pushed her away rudely and looked at Xu Zhichun with resentment: "It's you!"
Xu Zhichun said calmly, "I've said before, there's always justice in this world. I won't allow a despicable villain like you to confuse right and wrong. As long as we use some tricks, we can always achieve it."
"Poisonous woman!"
"I have a clear conscience, what about you?"
Master Liu was stunned. He wanted to say in a tough tone that he was the same, but he couldn't say it.
A sense of devastating fear suddenly surged in Master Liu's heart.
If this were to be exposed, what would he do? He would become a pariah, a target of public outcry! Everyone would spit on him, despise him, and ridicule him. He would never again be able to teach, would never again receive tuition, and would even be stripped of his status as a student.
It's so scary.
No, no.
Master Liu's expression immediately changed, and he burst into tears and begged the two village heads to forgive him this time. He admitted that he was jealous of Liang Mingxuan, and that jealousy had blinded him, which was why he acted impulsively. He vowed that he would never do it again.
It's getting colder day by day. Are you shivering?
