Niche Toilet Humor Literature Was Finally Going to Flourish in Teacher Shen's Hands

Jiang Yunli had already brought Ji Nanxian back.

On the way, she had only told Ji Nanxian that Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen were making a scene again, but had not explained why.

So when Ji Nanxian returned, the couple's wailing immediately gave him a headache.

Ji Nanxian frowned impatiently and said to Shen Yunzhi as soon as he approached, "Isn't it just money? Why not just give it to them? I don't believe you're short of that little bit."

Shen Yunzhi certainly had the tens or hundreds of thousands it would take to send Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen packing.

But she still had to run away from the Jiang Family later. How could she waste her money on this?

Shen Yunzhi said languidly, "Since it's so easy for you to say, why don't you pay them?"

Ji Nanxian scoffed disdainfully. "They're not my parents. Why should I pay?"

Shen Yunzhi said, "Aren't Jiang Yunli's parents your parents? What, you're not planning to marry her?"

"..." In front of the cameras, Jiang Yunli nearly failed to keep her expression under control.

That was precisely what worried her most right now, yet Shen Yunzhi's words had struck her right where she was most vulnerable.

Realizing he had misspoken, Ji Nanxian choked. He did not even dare look at Jiang Yunli's expression and could only snap in an angry attempt to recover:

"They're asking you for money, not me. No matter how much they've done wrong, they still raised you for all those years. The first lesson in life is learning gratitude."

Shen Yunzhi said, "Sorry, I was taking a shit during that lesson."

Ji Nanxian: "..."

Everyone else: "..."

The live comments: [...]

[Teacher Shen, next time you drop a golden line, could you give us some warning? I can't take notes fast enough.]

[I'm straight-up going all out learning every single one of these.]

[Is our niche toilet humor literature finally going to flourish in Teacher Shen's hands?!]

Jiang Yunli gently stepped in to smooth things over. "Enough, Nan Xian. Yunzhi has her own difficulties too."

Jiang Yunli played the gentle, understanding woman to perfection.

She took a card from her pocket, crouched down, and handed it to Shen Yonggui, who was shouting the loudest.

Jiang Yunli told Shen Yonggui, "This card holds my savings from all these years. Dad, please take it."

Neither Shen Yonggui nor Wang Dezhen had expected such a windfall.

The moment they heard that the card held all Jiang Yunli's savings from over the years,

their eyes lit up like light bulbs.

Jiang Yunli's voice was soothing. "I know you're only making this fuss because the family is struggling. If you really need money, I'll give it to you. Just don't bother Yunzhi again."

Shen Yunzhi: "..."

Nice.

She practically wanted to applaud.

What an unparalleled, pure, innocent, saintly little hypocrite, bathing the earth in her compassion.

Why even come on this crazy variety show?

With this much time on her hands, she should have gone into acting sooner.

Forget being a top young actress.

With acting skills like these, even winning Best Actress would be no problem.

Even the Jiang Fans in the livestream were moved to tears by Jiang Yunli's willingness to let bygones be bygones.

[Yunli is so kind. This couple abused her into depression, and she's still repaying cruelty with kindness.]

[Even though this couple only raised Yunli for a few years, she still treats them well.]

[The contrast is unbelievable. Shen Yunzhi won't give them a cent, while Yunli has to hand over all her money to clean up Shen Yunzhi's mess.]

[Yunli is clearly the one who's suffered the most!]

A crowd of Jiang Fans seethed with righteous indignation in the live comments.

Ji Nanxian could not bear seeing Jiang Yunli wronged either. Ignoring even his father's warning, he confronted Shen Yunzhi again.

Ji Nanxian said, "Shen Yunzhi, don't push it."

Shen Yunzhi rolled her eyes. "What? Jiang Yunli willingly gave her biological parents money. What the hell does that have to do with me?"

Ji Nanxian began accusing Shen Yunzhi again. "What does any of this have to do with Yunli? Why should she get dragged into it and lose all her savings from these past years?"

Originally, Ji Nanxian had not wanted to get into a fight with Shen Yunzhi.

After all, his father had personally told him

to do more to get on Shen Yunzhi's good side.

But Jiang Yunli had suffered so much, and now she had to give Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen money for Shen Yunzhi's sake.

He had not forgotten how much Yunli had suffered, as described in the diary he had read back then!

Ji Nanxian said, "Yunli has had it hard all these years. Shen Yunzhi, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

The more Ji Nanxian spoke, the more worked up he became.

It was as though he could see Jiang Yunli being "exploited and abused" by her biological parents in the village.

Jiang Yunli bit her lower lip, looking as though she, too, was somewhat reluctant to recall that miserable life.

But she still stopped Ji Nanxian from accusing Shen Yunzhi:

"Enough. Let's leave it at that."

Now Ji Nanxian was the one who refused to let it go.

He told Jiang Yunli, "I haven't forgotten how this couple treated you. They made you kneel outside when you forgot to wash Yaozu's clothes, and they beat you every few days."

"Shen Yunzhi wasn't left with any trauma after fifteen years. She's bouncing around full of life every day. How does that count as abuse?"

"But this couple actually drove you into depression!"

Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen, who had still been brimming with excitement, suddenly froze in bewilderment:

"...Huh?"

What the hell?

When had they ever made Jiang Yunli kneel as punishment or beaten her?

They had only slapped her once in a panic because Jiang Yunli had nearly eaten rat poison by mistake.

How could Jiang Yunli, who was used to being pampered by the Jiang Family, be compared to Shen Yunzhi, who had been raised rough in the countryside?

They had treated Jiang Yunli very well!

She had been treated every bit as well as Shen Yaozu!

In his agitation, Shen Yonggui wanted to tell the truth.

He could spout nonsense himself.

But other people could not spout nonsense to slander him.

Jiang Yunli hurriedly signaled the two of them with her eyes where the cameras could not see.

Shen Yonggui did not catch on and blurted out, "When did we ever..."

Fortunately, Wang Dezhen was a little smarter. At the crucial moment, she realized they needed to play along with Jiang Yunli and hurriedly pinched Shen Yonggui.

Shen Yonggui immediately howled in pain, his voice warping. "You damned woman! What are you doing?!"

Seeing that they had already gotten the money, Wang Dezhen wanted no further part in this. She grabbed Shen Yonggui and made to leave.

As for what happened afterward, these people could make up whatever nonsense they liked.

But then Shen Yunzhi unexpectedly burst out laughing.

She slowly rolled up both sleeves.

Against her otherwise fair arms, the scars from cigarette burns and the marks left by cane lashings were shocking.

The scars that only An Zhizhi had noticed before were finally exposed to the cameras for the first time.

Shen Yunzhi's tone could even be called teasing. "If not being beaten to death counts as not being left with any trauma, then I have nothing to say."

Jiang Yunli, who had been mentally drafting how to subtly play up her suffering for the livestream again, turned deathly pale in an instant, her eyes flying wide open.
