Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 74 Human Heart
In the academy cafeteria, Zhong Chushan fiddled with his dry food and said bitterly, "Wangshu, do you think this is like injuring the enemy by a thousand and injuring ourselves by eight hundred?"

Zhou Wangshu ate his boiled cabbage and said calmly, "If you regret it, go tell the teacher that you are willing to continue cleaning the toilet until the punishment is over."

"Forget it! If I have to clean a place as disgusting as a toilet every day, I won't be able to eat even the most delicious food."

"Why are you so anxious? Even if someone is anxious, it should be someone else, not us." Zhou Wangshu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yanci who was sitting in the corner.

Zhong Chushan followed his gaze and when he saw Xiao Yanci being excluded, a look of gloating flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yanci was the master's favorite, and not long ago, many people fawned over him. However, this time, the new rules he had enacted had caused many students great suffering. They didn't dare to cause him any trouble openly, but they began to use the same tricks they had used on Zhou Wangshu. Xiao Yanci couldn't find the perpetrator, so he had no one to complain to.

The person who hated Xiao Yanci the most was probably Jiang Yihui. A few nights ago, Jiang Yihui was among those who went out to eat, drink, and have fun. Those students knew Jiang Yihui could control Xiao Yanci, so they deliberately dragged him out as a shield, figuring that even if they were caught, Xiao Yanci wouldn't dare do anything to Jiang Yihui. And so, they were caught. However, Xiao Yanci didn't give Jiang Yihui any face and still punished them by making them clean the toilet for a month.

There were quite a few people on that trip, two groups of people, a total of thirteen people. Those thirteen people were punished to clean the toilet, and the next day they started making all kinds of trouble.

If it had only been one or two people, the master could have suppressed the matter. But when it came to thirteen people, almost all of whom came from wealthy families, the master couldn't handle it anymore and had to cancel the newly established rules. However, in order to maintain his prestige, he also strengthened the management of the academy, forcing students to no longer leave the house at will.

"Brother Jiang, your slave isn't very obedient!" the student next to him provoked. "In my opinion, we shouldn't have changed his household registration to a free man, we should have kept him as a slave. Now look, he's riding on our brother Jiang's head and acting wildly."

Jiang Yihui glared fiercely in Xiao Yanci's direction: "He's just a dog that bites its master. Do you really think he can pass the imperial examination? If he fails, he will naturally continue to be a slave."

"Excuse me, who are you, Mr. Zhou Wangshu?" A man dressed as a waiter walked in.

Zhong Chushan nudged Zhou Wangshu and said, "Looking for you."

Zhou Wangshu put down his chopsticks and stood up calmly: "I am."

"Greetings, Master Zhou." The waiter bowed and then said, "Your family has ordered some food for you. The master has already agreed. I'm responsible for delivering it. Since Master Zhou is here, I'll have them bring it in."

Zhou Wangshu was surprised and said, "Thank you very much."

Zhong Chushan put down his chopsticks and asked excitedly, "What did you give me?"

The waiter shouted outside, and one by one, waiters came in with baskets. When they opened the baskets, delicious dishes were brought into the canteen one after another.

"Boss Su said that if you can't finish so much, you can share it with your friends."

Zhong Chushan looked at the table full of fish and meat in surprise and nudged Zhou Wangshu: "Oh my God, you little daughter-in-law...sister is really generous."

Pairs of eyes looked at the mountains and seas of food in front of Zhou Wangshu with envy.

Zhou Wangshu was alone, but Su Yaoguang sent waiters to deliver more than twenty dishes, filling up several empty tables nearby.

Zhou Wangshu thanked the waiter and said to Zhong Chushan, "Let's eat together!"

Zhong Chushan rolled up his sleeves and grinned, "I won't be polite with you."

Zhou Wangshu invited another twenty or so people who had never bullied him.

Those people were all students from poor families who came to the academy solely to study, so they never took the initiative to cause trouble. These poor students had no chance to enjoy such a good meal, and they were somewhat tempted by Zhou Wangshu's invitation, but they maintained their pride in their bones.

Seeing them being so hesitant, Zhong Chushan grabbed the roast chicken, tore it into pieces, and put it into their bowls: "Eat it, why are you being so polite?"

Those students who did not receive an invitation looked disdainful.

Those people all came from families with a little money. They usually looked down on everyone in the academy and were always causing trouble.

Given their family's financial situation, they certainly had enough food and clothing. However, they had been locked up in the academy for several days, unable to go out, and their appetites had become so bland that they could have fed fish.

Xiao Yanci looked in the direction of Zhou Wangshu, his gaze fixed on his face.

What on earth had he done to make that village girl pay so much attention to him? In terms of appearance, I am not inferior to him. Could it be that he has already slept in the same bed with that village girl?

He thought of Jiang Yihuan.

Jiang Yihuan was much better than that village girl. Once he passed the imperial examination, he would ask Zhong Lanhua to marry Jiang Yihuan. As for Jiang Yihui, he was a bit of a hindrance.

Zhong Chushan ate a chicken leg and said to Zhou Wangshu, "From today on, Sister Yaoguang is my biological sister. It's been a few days, and I finally get to eat meat. It's not easy."

Zhou Wangshu ate in small bites.

"Let's go to the dance studio tonight."

Zhong Chushan almost choked himself.

"Brother, the investigation is very strict now."

"Under normal circumstances, this might still be risky, but after today's meal, we now have a lot more helpers who can help us stop Xiao Ci."

Zhong Chushan gave a thumbs up.

Su Yaoguang sent him food in order to help him build good relationships and make his life in the academy smoother.

This guy really knows how to exploit value. As soon as he finished his meal, he immediately thought about how to take advantage of those who had eaten his food.

I used to think he was a weak and vulnerable lamb, but now it seems that he is not a lamb at all, but a big wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Of course, we won't give them any less. If they help us arrest Xiao Ci, each of them can get ten coins as a reward."

"That's great. We're all poor students, and our entire families have put all their efforts into our studies," Zhong Chushan said. "I'll talk to them later."

"If they ask us what we are doing outside, just say that I found a job outside and want to earn some money to support the family." We are all poor students, and hearing him say this will not only not make things difficult for him, but will also make us understand him better.

After all, it was no secret that he was Su Yaoguang's procured son-in-law. Although Su Yaoguang seemed generous, her wealth didn't guarantee his wealth. It was normal for anyone with a bit of prestige to earn their own money to study. Zhou Wangshu cultivated this image of self-reliance, making it easier for him to get along with them.
