A poor hero

Chapter 3

Before time travel, Chen Chen was a half-hearted person when he was studying. His original intention was to scold Master Xu for being old and not dead, but at this time he only remembered that he was old and not dead.

He didn't care whether the meaning was correct or whether the words were complete, he just blurted out and started quarreling.

Although Master Xu was treacherous and immoral, he was also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise he would not have cultivated Cheng Chen, a child prodigy.

Why didn’t Master Xu know the allusion that a person who does not die in old age is a thief?

He gritted his teeth, his eyes radiated a chilling look, and he said angrily: "Chen Chen, you stinking piece of shit, get out of here right now, get out of this place."

Chen Chen didn't even look back or look at Master Xu, and he and Shen Qian supported each other and left here.

When he saw that Chen Chen was really leaving, his words could no longer threaten him.

Master Xu became anxious and began to feel confused.

Chen Chen was a free laborer, how could Master Xu be willing to let him leave so readily.

So Master Xu hurriedly walked towards Chen Chen and the others, pushed Shen Qian away, grabbed Chen Chen's clothes and lifted him up.

"Chen Chen, you stinky piece of shit, you really don't want to live anymore, you beat my nephew and you still want to leave?"

Chen Chen struggled and wanted to leave Master Xu's restraint.

But he is a child after all, and he doesn't have enough to eat every day. He has no strength. After trying it several times, he was so anxious that he almost cried.

Shen Qian, who was pushed to the ground, cried anxiously when she saw Master Xu grabbing Chen Chen.

She wanted to help and pulled Master Xu's hand again and again, but her strength was too weak. She was pushed to the ground by Master Xu again and again, and her big earlobes were red from the fall.

"What? Your surname is Xu. A gentleman talks but never takes action. As a master, do you want to beat us in front of your disciples?"

Chen Chen said angrily when he saw Shen Qian being pushed to the ground.

Master Xu never expected that this little Chen Chen would actually talk to him, so he didn't dare to take action again. Today, the county's Master is coming to inspect the private school.

He thought for a moment and put Chen Chen down, but he still said harshly: "Hit you? Who do you think you are? It's worthy of me. Now tell me how to deal with the matter of you beating Xu Jiancheng."

Chen Chen was really speechless. Master Xu had just understood what was going on, and now he was still using this matter to embarrass himself. Did he really think that he didn't understand anything?

If it were the original owner Chen Chen, he might have been frightened by Master Xu. Unfortunately, the Chen Chen now is no longer the Chen Chen he was before.

So Chen Chen said straightforwardly and without any hesitation: "Master Xu, what's the matter? Do you want to go to court with me to dispute this matter?"

Master Xu was shocked when he heard Chen Chen's words. His nephew would not take the matter to court.

But he was stunned, and still threatened shamelessly: "Go, go to the county office immediately, and see if the county official believes in you, a yellow-mouthed kid, or on this master."

Chen Chen smiled and wondered whether Master Xu really thought he knew nothing, so he said calmly: "There's no need to go to the county government office. Isn't there someone from the county here to inspect today? We'll let him come Let’s judge and see who is right and who is wrong in this matter.”

Master Xu was stunned for a moment and could not say a word.

If such a thing were to be known to the emperor, Master Xu would be completely ruined.

Scholars are inherently concerned about their reputation and must abide by the moral principles of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and do no evil.

According to what Master Xu had done to Chen Chen in his daily life and his conduct, if the county magistrate knew about it, he would definitely be punished.

But he does a good job of being a double-faced person. He looks the same in front of others and behind others, a real beast in disguise.

In this way, Master Xu was restrained by Chen Chen.

"Chen Qian, does it hurt? Did the old man throw you?"

Chen Chen helped Shen Qian up, wiped the dirt off Shen Qian's body, and asked with concern like a big brother.

"Chen Chen, I'm fine. Let's leave now. Leave this disgusting place. I don't want to stay here for a moment."

Shen Qian shook her head and looked at Chen Chen lovingly.

So the two of them supported each other and slowly left here.

Hearing the conversation between Chen Chen and Shen Qian, Master Xu went completely crazy.

Originally, he thought that only Chen Chen, a free laborer, was leaving here, but he never thought that Shen Qian, a cheap laborer, was also leaving here.

Suddenly all the servants in the house were gone, and his wife was going to scold him to death.

Although he paid Shen Qian every month, it was only a few twenty cents, which was just the money to buy a pheasant.

It's not often that you can hire a servant who can do all kinds of work for a pheasant's money a month.

"Chen Qian, do you really want to follow Chen Chen and leave here?"

Master Xu pretended to be calm and asked calmly.

Shen Qian didn't even look back. She imitated Chen Chen's tone and answered bluntly: "Yes, I don't want to stay in this place for a while."

"What? Master Xu, do you still have any objections? Shen Qian didn't sell herself to you. She could leave at any time as promised." Chen Chen reminded, fearing that Master Xu would threaten Shen Qian.

Master Xu's face was gloomy, so dark it was almost raining.

He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Shen Qian, have you really decided to leave now? If so, I will not settle your wages to you."

Shen Qian's wages are paid once a year, and Shen Qian's father comes here to collect Shen Qian's wages at the end of every year.

Every time he came here and took the money, he left without caring about Shen Qian and didn't even say a word to Shen Qian.

Shen Qian's heart had already turned cold.

It was early April. Logically speaking, Master Xu should have settled more than 60 yuan to Shen Qian.

Master Xu actually wanted to use the sixty coins to force Shen Qian to stay here.

But he was wrong. Shen Qian had never touched money before, and she would not succumb to Master Xu's power of money at this time.

She replied nonchalantly: "If you don't give it to me, I'll leave anyway."

Chen Chen didn't think so anymore. This was Shen Qian's wages for her hard work. How could she be willing to let Master Xu be kept in the dark?

So he cursed loudly: "Master Xu, if you do any injustice, you will be punished. I will sue you at the county government."

Before Master Xu could react, an old man in his sixties with a white beard walked in outside the door.

The old man fiddled with his beard and shook his head and said: "Okay, if you do too much injustice, you will die. I will treat you like this. You understand this truth at a young age. Yes, yes, you are really a talent."

This old man was the one who came from the county to inspect the private school in East Village. When he heard that this young Chen Chen could say this, he couldn't help but cherish him.

Then he turned his head and scolded Master Xu. "Humph, Master Xu, what have you done? You even bully children. It seems you don't take this teaching seriously."

Master Xu didn't dare to say no, so he had to take out sixty coins from his wallet, stuffed it into Chen Chen's hand, and said: "Chen Chen, this is Shen Qian's wages. You count them. By the way, forget about you." I don’t know how to count, talents.”

Master Xu thought Chen Chen didn't know how to count, so he started mocking him in public.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chen actually started counting them one by one in a decent manner.

"Master Xu, it's not enough. There is only sixty cents here. Shen Qian has also worked for six days this month. Twenty cents per month, so that should be four cents less."

Chen Chen said while holding the copper coins.

"Wonderful, wonderful, he is really a genius. In just a short time, he can mentally calculate how much six days' wages will be."

The old man Jiaoyu shook his head and said, it seems that he has taken a liking to Chen Chen.

With the old man being there, Master Xu couldn't get angry, so he had to suppress his blush and took out another four cents and handed it to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen got the money, handed it to Shen Qian, then bent down and bowed to the old man who helped him, and took Shen Qian out of the private school.

"Chen Chen, the old man has been saying that you are a talent. I think so too. Why don't we go to other colleges or private schools to see if we can work in exchange for studying? I will work for you to study. If you don't study, it's really embarrassing. What a pity."

On the way, Shen Qian said regretfully.

"Chen Qian, I have a plan for this. Let's go back to Chenjia Village first and then make plans."
