Was This Still the Zhou Fusheng He Knew?

Shen Yu'an coldly shouted, "Wu Dazhi, you still dare to argue? I hereby decree your divorce!"

Wu Dazhi looked coldly at Liu Sufen and said, "Are you satisfied now? Let me tell you, you'll raise your daughter yourself. I want to see how you're going to raise her."

Old Madam Wu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Ugly people are always making trouble. Look at you, you're as thin as a monkey. My son is a different story when he's out there."

Then he saw the Tofu Xi Shi standing outside and said, "Brother Wu, what are you doing here?"

Wu Dazhi looked at her and smiled, "Huanhuan, I've divorced this old hag. Once I'm divorced from her, I'll be with you."

The Tofu Xi Shi looked at him shyly and said, "Tch, I didn't agree!"

Their divorce proceedings were completed quickly. Wu Dazhi, with his hands behind his back, looked coldly at Liu Sufen and said:

"See? A man like me has no trouble finding a wife."

I'll see how you manage from now on. And your poor, wretched brothers and sisters, just looking at them makes me sick.

Liu Su'e sneered, "Hmph, Wu Dazhi, you'd better not let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you."

Wu Dazhi spat dismissively and said:

Who do you think you are? You think you can hit me every time you see me? Dream on!

You poor bastards, it's really bad luck to be related to your family. You're always coming to our door.

Finally, I'm rid of you poor wretches.

Then he saw a luxurious carriage drive up and stop in front of him.

Wu Dazhi looked at the carriage with envy. "I wonder which wealthy young master is going out like this. That carriage is really extravagant!"

How could this display not be grand? The four tall, magnificent horses were all exceptionally fine, clearly the best of the best.

Four horses pulled a particularly large and luxurious carriage, with exquisitely carved beams and heavy curtains, clearly not something an ordinary family could afford.

Before long, the coachman nimbly jumped down from the carriage and respectfully bowed to Liu Su'e: "Madam, the carriage is ready. Please, all of you, board the carriage!"

Liu Su'e nodded slightly, and the driver immediately bent down and put down the solid wood footstool, placing it steadily.

Liu Su'e helped Liu Sufang into the car, and then slowly stepped onto the bench after her.

Zhou Wanwan was already sitting by the car window. Seeing Wu Dazhi still standing there, she stuck her head out, made a big funny face, and stuck out her tongue. "Hehehe... you poor rascal..."

Wu Dazhi's face turned green:

"What... what are you saying, you brat? Who's the poor slob?"

Say that again, or I'll tear you off!

The guards walked over and slapped Wu Dazhi twice, making him dizzy.

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "You dare bully my third aunt? Don't you even know who you are?"

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Wu Dazhi stamped his foot in anger. "How did Liu Su'e suddenly become so rich?"

Old Madam Wu was standing nearby, pulled him along and said, "Son, we have to go and see where Liu Su'e is staying now."

The two of them followed the carriage, Liu Su'e was comforting Liu Sufen:

"Sufen, don't be afraid. With me here, no one will dare to bully you."

We're currently living in Yunxi County. Once Wanwan and the Wanwan finish their exams, we can go back to the mountain village."

Liu Sufen wiped away her tears and said:

"Sister, I'm not scared, I just feel like I'm dreaming."

I can't believe I was able to escape that family. You have no idea how I've managed all these years.

Liu Su'e sneered, "I know, I understand. Trust me, I will avenge you."

Liu Sufen nodded, and the carriage slowly drove into a large five-courtyard mansion.

Wu Dazhi and his Old Madam Wu were completely dumbfounded. Wu Dazhi swallowed hard and said, "Liu Sufen actually moved into such a luxurious mansion? Has Liu Su'e made a fortune?"

Old Madam Wu's eyes were red:

"How wonderful it would be if we could live in this big house."

Son! Let's find out who owns this big house!

Soon the neighbors looked at them and said:

"You don't even know their family? The Zhou Family! They're incredibly wealthy!"

Anyway, I heard it's something like a business, but they have several children who are all participating in scientific expeditions.

"Yes, his children are very successful, and his family is extremely wealthy."

You didn't even see their carriages, one after another."

"What's so special about a carriage? Didn't you see the guards following behind?"

Each of them stood ramrod straight, dressed impeccably, and even carried a knife at their waist—this was the kind of pomp and circumstance only the wealthy could command!

"Look at those coachmen! They're all dressed in matching blue uniforms; they're clearly trained in a respectable household!"

"And the materials used for the carriage! It's made of rosewood, and the curtains are brocade with gold thread—an ordinary family couldn't afford such a piece of material in their entire life!"

"Didn't you smell it? The fragrance wafting from that carriage is the finest incense; only the extremely wealthy can afford it!"

The neighbors got more and more excited as they talked, and Wu Dazhi and Old Madam Wu could hardly contain their greed.

Wu Dazhi said, "This is the Zhou Family, could it be Zhou Fusheng's house? Isn't he a cripple?"

The neighbors laughed:

"Yes, yes, it's Zhou Fusheng's house, but he's not a cripple."

Her leg is all healed now, and she's even taking the imperial examination to become a scholar!

Wu Dazhi laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight:

"Hahahaha, you guys are really cracking me up! Someone like Zhou Fusheng, who can't read a single character, actually managed to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar?"

If he could pass the imperial examination and become a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), then I would have been a Xiucai long ago.

Wu Dazhi looked up and was immediately dumbfounded.

Where is the man before me now, the same country bumpkin in coarse clothes and covered in mud?

At this moment, Zhou Fusheng was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe with subtle patterns, and a jade belt hook was tied around his waist, which made him look tall and straight. He was a completely different person.

Wu Dazhi stood there, his mouth agape, as if he could fit an egg in it, his mind reeling with shock.

Is this still the Zhou Fusheng he knows?

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Isn't this my brother-in-law? Brother-in-law, you're finally back!"

Zhou Fusheng was talking to several children about the exam papers when he saw Wu Dazhi, but he completely ignored him.

Wu Dazhi quickly stepped in front of him and said:

"Brother-in-law, oh my! You're finally back! I was really worried about Sufen's health and wanted to go in and check on her."

Brother-in-law, please have mercy and let me in to take a look!

Zhou Fusheng, unaware that Wu Dazhi and Liu Sufen had already divorced, sighed and said:

"Wu Dazhi, my Su'e is very angry because you beat my third sister like that yesterday."

You can go in if you want, but make sure to coax Sufen properly; after all, she has borne you children.

Yesterday, a perfectly healthy boy was aborted. What a tragedy!
