148 How Dare You Look Down On Our Master Chu?

After Liu Chi reported his identity, Auntie Yang immediately welcomed him in.

Liu Chi handed over the dried peanuts and the tea leaves that he had brought at the last minute. However, his gaze landed on the peanut crisp on Auntie Yang’s table and the bright-colored Camellia tea in the cup.

He was shocked. He knew that what he had brought was a little shabby, but he did not expect it to be even more shabby than he had imagined.

For a moment, he did not know how to begin.

!!

Auntie Yang smiled and asked him to sit down. Liu Chi forced himself to stay calm and sit down on the soft cushion. He subconsciously glanced down.

He realized that the seats and stools in Auntie Yang’s house were very special.

The seats and benches that should have been flat and smooth were wrapped in something soft. The structure of the chairs had become much simpler.

He shifted his buttocks slightly, guessing that it had been padded with some straw and stitched with cotton wool or something on the surface.

Although it was a little strange, his butt was indeed very comfortable. He didn’t feel like it was hard at all.

As a carpenter’s son, he immediately realized that if these cushioned seats were sold, the wealthy families would definitely think that it was a novelty item and would fight to buy one.

If it was in a county or prefecture city, there would be even more people customizing such soft tables and chairs.

If his father did not work in the Spray Machine Workshop and specially made this cushioned chair, he would definitely make a huge profit.

Liu Chi thought so, but he did not dare to do so. Zhao Sheng and Lord Yang were so close.

If he found out, it would definitely affect his future career as an official. He was still hoping that Lord Yang would give him a recommendation spot every year.

Liu Chi’s words were pleasant and he deliberately flattered Zhao Sheng. Auntie Yang was so happy that she could not stop smiling.

She was also quite proud that she had such an outstanding son.

After the topic was brought up, Liu Chi began to quietly probe why Lord Yang would appear in Youjia Village.

Auntie Yang had been the wife of the village chief for so many years and was even so many years older than him. Liu Chi beat around the bush to ask about Lord Yang, but she could tell that he had an ulterior motive. The smile on her face immediately disappeared.

After that, no matter how Liu Chi asked or beat around the bush, he was cleverly blocked by Auntie Yang.

He could also tell that Auntie Yang did not want to tell him. He scolded the old woman in his heart for not knowing how to appreciate favors. She must be afraid that his father would be so outstanding at carpentry that he would replace Zhao Sheng in Lord Yang’s heart in the future.

Since he had already spent the money, Liu Chi did not want to return empty-handed. He changed the topic and said, “When I came, I saw the strong man who was carrying a boy. I believe his martial arts must be extraordinary. Official Li still lacks a head of guards in his residence. If he’s willing, I can recommend him.”

As a guard at Official Li’s house, he would earn quite a bit of money a month. It was about the same as Liu Chi’s monthly salary as a teacher. He really felt that his recommendation was not bad.

Unexpectedly, when Auntie Yang heard him mention Chu Tianbao, her face immediately darkened. “I still have to farm, so I won’t keep Scholar Liu any further.”

Master Chu could even work as a general. Who was this kid looking down on? He even looked so smug.

Liu Chi was stunned. He had only mentioned a sentence.

Yet he was suddenly chased out, along with a packet of dried peanuts and the tea leaves that he had delivered to their door.

After chasing him out, Auntie Yang retorted sarcastically, “Scholar Liu, these things of yours are too expensive. We can’t afford to accept them.”

Liu Chi was ashamed and resentful, but he was unwilling to return empty-handed.

He wanted to ask around, but he saw Auntie Yang, who had gone out from the back door, chatting with people under the big banyan tree. She told the aunties under the tree what he had said about hiring Chu Tianbao as a guard.

The aunties’ voices were all extremely loud. They even criticized him in unison, “Who does he think he is? How dare he look down on our Master Chu?”

“Master Chu can knock down 50 scholars with one finger.”

“Hahaha, even without a finger, our Master Chu can win 100 scholars with just his face.”

Liu Chi’s face turned green with anger. What kind of ignorant village women were this?

All things could be compared, but knowledge was superior.

How dare she look down on him!

If not for his fear of Lord Yang, Liu Chi really wanted to not care about his image and argue with this group of gossipy women.

Liu Chi was considered a person with some reputation in Woqian Town. He had never suffered such humiliation today. He left Youjia Village in exasperation and did not pay attention to his steps. He tripped on the canal and the tea leaves in his arms fell to the ground. Liu Chi also fell into the canal in a sorry state.

He climbed awkwardly out of the water and picked up the soaked peanuts. He looked back at the headboard with the characters ‘Youjia village’ and gritted his teeth in hatred.

This lousy place must be at odds with him. When he became a high-ranking official, he would definitely think of a way to tear this place down.

He was drenched. When the cold wind blew, Liu Chi could only shiver and sneeze.

It would be terrible if he got sick just like that.

He hurriedly ran to Liu Niu’s dormitory to change his clothes. In the end, he met the boastful Shi Dashou from Lintian Village.

Shi Dashou’s face was red as he spoke and his saliva flew. “In the blink of an eye, the villagers’ hair on the top was shaved off by that person with a sword.”

The person who had heard him brag said in disbelief, “You must be talking about a spirit! How can a person be so fast!”

Shi Dashou quickly proved that he was not lying. “Did you see this? There’s only so little hair on my head. All the men in our village only have this amount of hair left. It was all shaved by that man from Youjia village. This is the evidence!”

Liu Chi, who was originally not interested, had his eyes lit up when he heard the word ‘Youjiia Village’. He immediately walked towards him, saying that he wanted to buy him a drink.

It was a waste not to drink free wine. The two of them sat down and ate an entire bag of damp peanuts in the dormitory. After a few glasses, Liu Chi had learnt everything Shi Dashou knew about having Youjia village.

After learning that Lord Yang was close to the Cui family and that Cui Lingyi was a widow, Liu Chi’s depressed heart was revived.

So what if Cui Lingyi was a widow? Her father and Yang Gongbing were senior brothers. Just from this alone, even if Cui Lingyi was an ugly freak, she was still worth marrying.

Besides, Cui Lingyi was not an ugly woman. She was an exquisite woman. He had heard that women who had married before were more fun in bed. He wondered if it was true.

As he thought about it, Liu Chi’s gaze became lustful. His mind was dizzy, and Bai Wutong’s cold face flashed in his mind. Thinking that Chu Tianbao was just a fool with strong martial arts, he smiled foolishly. When he became a high-ranking official, he would definitely make her divorce the fool and become his beautiful concubine.

With two beautiful women serving him, Liu Chi felt like he was floating. He could not help but take off his pants.

Liu Niu and his colleague returned to the dormitory and pushed open the door. When they saw the scene in front of them, they exclaimed, which immediately drew more people to watch.
