This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

She patted his shoulder and said, ”Wang Shu, you’re so talented. I believe you’ll achieve something great in the future. As your sister, I might be a bit lacking in other aspects, but if you ever face any troubles regarding money, just write to me. As long as it’s within my ability, I will do my best to help you.”

Zhou Wangshu stood up: ”You should rest early, we’ll talk about other matters later!”

Su Yaoguang nodded: ”Alright. The list came out today, there should be a banquet held by the government tomorrow, you should get ready for it.”

Zhou Wangshu left Su Yaoguang’s room, softly closed the door. When he returned to his room and closed his own door, a gloom fell over his face.

He sat heavily on the bed, his eyes filled with anger.

Did she really want to get rid of him so urgently?

He stroked the ring on his finger, displeasure flashing in his eyes: ”Heartless, even a stone would have been warmed by now, her heart is harder than stone.”

Early the next morning. Su Yaoguang knocked on Zhou Wangshu’s door, but there was no response for a long time. After knocking a few more times, a clerk passing by mentioned that the person inside had left early in the morning, only then did she realize Zhou Wangshu was not in the room.

She did not ask where Zhou Wangshu went and went directly to the main hall. Upon arriving in the hall, she saw Zhong Chushan and Zhang Xuezhi having breakfast.

”Morning, Yaoguang,” Zhong Chushan greeted with a smile, ”You don’t look so good, didn’t you sleep well?”

Su Yaoguang touched the corner of her eyes and said, ”Maybe I was too excited yesterday, I had trouble sleeping.”

”That’s true. If I’d come first like Wangshu, I’d be excited for several days at least,” Zhong Chushan said, ”When we go back, the Mountain Master and the teachers will surely celebrate well for Wangshu.”

Zhong Chushan recalled how the academy had misjudged people before, mistaking someone like ’Xiao Ci’ for a treasure and treating Wangshu like he was insignificant, often humiliating him. Now, those people must be regretting it deeply. Of course, ever since Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu’s reputation kept growing in the county, such things no longer occurred. They should be grateful they didn’t make more and bigger mistakes, otherwise offending someone with limitless potential, they’d have to constantly worry about past deeds being dug up.

”I’m back,” Chen Buyu’s voice came from the door.

His face was full of joy, like he’d found a treasure.

Beside him stood a lovely and exquisite girl.

”Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Tong Shuyun.” After finishing, Chen Buyu introduced further to Tong Shuyun, ”This is my brother’s wife, we call her Yaoguang, you can call her Sister Yaoguang. This is my good brother Zhong Chushan, and this gentleman’s surname is Zhang, first name...”

Su Yaoguang and the others exchanged glances.

Zhou Wangshu walked in carrying breakfast, seeing them standing there staring at each other, he asked, ”What are you doing standing there, why aren’t you sitting down?”

Su Yaoguang smelled the fragrance, recognized as breakfast they often had before, and took it from his hands, then whispered in Zhou Wangshu’s ear: ”He said that is his wife, Tong Shuyun.”

The emphasis was on the word ’wife’.

Zhou Wangshu understood, observing the woman, whose complexion was rosy and face shy.

”You got married?” Zhong Chushan draped an arm around his shoulder, gently patting his arm.

Chen Buyu said proudly, ”I was taken back yesterday. However, I had many chances to leave, but the moment I saw Shuyun, I chose to stay. Sorry, brothers, Sister Yaoguang, it all happened quite suddenly, and I didn’t get a chance to tell you; I’ll make it up with a celebratory drink today.”

”With such a cute girl, no wonder you couldn’t wait to be a groom,” Su Yaoguang saw Tong Shuyun looking a bit nervous and pulled her hand to sit down. ”You two came so early, won’t you pay respects to Landlord Tong with tea?”

Tong Shuyun shook her head.

Su Yaoguang said, ”Sister Shuyun, don’t be afraid. If he bullies you, just tell us, we’ll take care of him for you.”

Tong Shuyun gestured that Chen Buyu hadn’t bullied her.

The group noticed something was amiss.

Tong Shuyun hadn’t spoken since earlier and was now gesturing, seeming to have some issue with speaking.

”Brother, what’s with Sister-in-law...” Zhong Chushan lowered his voice to say.

Chen Buyu candidly explained, ”Yun’er had a fever when she was young, which took away her ability to speak. But that’s alright, I find Yun’er very cute this way!”
