Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng burst into tears after he asked just two questions.
Master Yi quickly took out his handkerchief, wiped his tears and said, "Are you really so unwilling?"
“No… no…”
Zhou Zheng took the handkerchief and waited until his emotions calmed down before he said, "Father has analyzed this with me. I am different from Rushan. I have no hope of passing the imperial examinations. Instead of wasting time, I might as well learn a skill so that I can have a meal in the future. But, Master..."
Zhou Zheng lowered his head, clenched his fists and placed them on his knees, tears dripping down his cheeks. He said in a trembling voice, "Master, I am so unwilling to accept this... I am so unwilling to accept this!"
He has clearly just begun to learn, his performance can be considered quite good, and he has just comprehended a completely different world, but after just one look, he is asked to close his eyes again and willingly become a blind man. How can he be willing to accept this!
Song Yuehua stopped knocking on the door and turned around, leaning against the wall of the study, looking up at the moon hidden in the clouds in the sky.
Compared to Zhou Zheng's reluctance, Erguotou's family was in a huge uproar.
Erguotou yelled, "You old fool, I finally chopped hundreds of loads of firewood to get the chance to learn martial arts, can you please stop causing trouble for me?"
“That’s a kiln!”
Jia Fugui also cursed angrily, "You little bastard, if you're an apprentice there, you won't starve to death after you become a master! Do you know how many connections your uncle had to use to get you in?"
"It's my uncle again!" Erguotou was so angry that he raised the table and was about to smash it. Jia Fugui quickly shouted, "500 coins, put it down!"
Erguotou was so angry that he could neither vent nor swallow it, so he had to put down the table and roared, "Uncle, do you have nothing else to do except take care of me all day? His legs haven't even healed yet, how can his arms stretch so long!"
"Isn't he doing this for your own good?" Jia Fugui yelled back.
"I beg you, stop trying to be nice to me, I'm a piece of shit, just let me go!"
Jia Fugui said angrily, "Your uncle and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. If you listen to your elders, how can you suffer any loss?"
"You are my elders, and you will be my elders for my whole life. So when can I make my own decisions? Do I have to listen to you all my life until you die, and then control the next generation like you did?"
Erguotou walked to the door angrily, then turned back and said, "Dad, please help me. It's not easy for me to chop those 200 loads of firewood. Please don't go to the school and talk nonsense to me, okay?"
Jia Fugui took off his shoes and slapped Erguotou on the head, "You little bastard, how can you talk to your father like that? You've been in school for so long, but you don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. What have you learned?"
"I'm learning martial arts, not literature!" Erguotou covered his head with his hands and shouted.
After the beating, Jia Fugui was tired. He put on his shoes again and sat on the bench, catching his breath.
Erguotou was beaten up, and his anger subsided a lot. He said calmly, "Dad, I'm already 19 years old, you guys shouldn't stare at me all the time, it makes people..."
asphyxia.
Jia Fugui stared at him and said, "You also know that you are 19 years old. I thought you still thought you were a three-year-old kid. Look at this village, every 19-year-old is a kid running around. But you are the one who doesn't have a family and doesn't work. You do irrelevant things all day long. Your uncle and I are old. If we don't keep an eye on you, who else can we keep an eye on?"
Erguotou was so tired of hearing these words that he said impatiently, "If you go to the academy to cause trouble for me again, I will go join the army directly!"
"You dare!"
When Jia Fugui stood up suddenly, Erguotou had already run away.
