Chapter 290 Shut up, old man!
Master Cao looked at Li Zhengxue whose expression changed, and suddenly felt that this student was not so hopeless. If he could remain indifferent after hearing such words, he would be worse than pigs and dogs. Now it seems that he might have just been angry for a moment, so he did those ugly and idiotic things. If he can admit his mistakes and promise never to do it again, it is not unforgivable.
Thinking of this, Master Cao not only did not soften his tone, but became even more serious.
"Since entering the White Horse Academy, all the students in our academy have been thinking about passing the imperial examinations, reporting to the emperor, and reporting to their parents and ancestors. And what about you? What are you thinking about now? All you think about is how comfortable you can be. How can a person like you be worthy of your parents? And your grandparents, and those brothers who lost the opportunity to go to school because of you!"
Old Master Li felt heartbroken when he heard this. It's not that he didn't know these words, nor had he never thought about them. However, every time he thought about the fact that he had made the choice, he could not think about these things. He had already decided to support Li Zhengxue, and he had been doing this for two years and had paid so much cost. It was too late to regret now.
But now that Master Cao had torn open the bloody wound and laid it out in front of him, Mr. Li felt like he could hardly breathe.
"Li Zhengxue, if you still have a conscience, you should..."
"I should have asked you for three hundred taels! You old man, who do you think you are! Now that I am no longer in your Baima Academy, do I still have to listen to you chanting here? I have changed my mind!" Li Zhengxue picked up something at hand, without even seeing clearly what it was, and threw it directly at Master Cao!
"Master!" Mrs. Cao screamed, but she was a little far away, and even if she rushed over, it would be too late.
Fortunately, Li Zhengde was right next to Master Cao. When he saw something coming towards Master Cao's head, he instinctively stretched out his hand to block it, so it did not hit Master Cao.
It was a sewing box, quite heavy. Li Mingxia saw that Li Zhengde's hand was visibly red and swollen, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if it hit Master Cao on the head.
"Master, are you okay?" Li Zhengde didn't look at his own hands, but looked at Master Cao with concern, as if he was very afraid that he would be hurt.
Master Cao was touched. He had heard so many nice words on weekdays, but who could really do so much for him? This student had not taken any special care of him, but he could actually help him block the harm without hesitation when he was in danger. Now he was injured and still cared about me. Such a student was of pure character and people had to like him. Then he looked at Li Zhengxue lying on the kang with a fierce look, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to eat him alive. How could he like such a person? Master Cao was a little confused now. Why did he think that this was a promising talent and took care of him so much!
"It's okay, good boy. Thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened." Master Cao held Li Zhengde's hand, and looked at the scars and swelling on his hands. He was so moved that he was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Master, Master, are you okay?" After Mrs. Cao reacted, she turned her head and stared at Li Zhengxue fiercely, but she knew that now was not the time to take action. This person had already caught her with a handle. If she did something else under impulse at this moment, who knows what would happen.
Mrs. Cao gritted her teeth and endured it temporarily.
"Good boy, Master's wife has taken note of this. You are a good person and will surely be blessed in the future." Madam Cao looked at Li Zhengde with eyes full of love and gratitude. This was not an act. If the edge of this thing really hit Master Cao's head, there was no telling what the consequences would be.
Li Zhengxue looked at the humble and polite Li Zhengde, and felt that the fire in his heart suddenly burned up, and then unspeakable anger enveloped his whole body.
Why, why, why! Since when did it become like this? Why did all the eyes that were on me before now fall on Li Zhengde? Why did everything that belonged to me before now belong to Li Zhengde?
Li Zhengde was obviously a loser who didn't even dare to speak too loudly, why has he changed so much now?
After entering Baima Academy, Song Li, who was in the intermediate class like him, looked down on him, and Xue Li, who never treated him as a human being, would show this kind of sincere smile when facing Li Zhengde, but when looking at him, his eyes became cold and disgusted, and even spoke harshly to him! Xue Li was obviously his friend before! Why!
And Master Cao, even when he was at his best, he never spoke to him in such a friendly manner. Now he is teaching him a lesson, instead. Why!
Li Zhengde is just a country bumpkin. He should be kept under my feet all his life, working like a slave for me and making money for me all his life. Why does he look down on me like that?
Li Zhengxue's gaze slowly fell on Li Mingxia.
Yes, everything was because of this woman. If she didn't split up the family, if she was willing to be obedient and make money to accompany him and support this family, then none of this would have happened. He could live comfortably and would never be looked down upon by anyone again.
Li Zhengxue even felt that he saw Xue Li and Song Li trying to please him!
Why can't we just live our lives the way we always have? After so many years, why do we suddenly become unwilling to do so?
Li Zhengxue looked at Li Mingxia with eyes full of resentment and anger. He would not look for the reasons in himself, he only thought that all this was caused by others.
It can be anyone's fault, but never your own.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to say that I made you like this? I didn't go to Baima Academy, so you can't blame me even if you want to." Li Mingxia glanced at Li Zhengxue, suddenly smiled, and said in an ambiguous way.
But no matter who it was, they could hear the sarcasm in Li Mingxia's voice, but what she said was also true. This matter really had nothing to do with Li Mingxia.
However, Master Cao became more favorable towards Li Zhengde because of Li Mingxia's words.
He felt that Li Mingxia's words were saying that it was shameful for Li Zhengxue to push the blame on him without any reason!
