Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

"Chen Jianyan, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?" Chen Jianyan took a step back calmly to prevent Zhang Zhuangzhuang's snot from falling on his clothes. These were the new clothes his father bought for him last month.

I guess it's gossip about his aunt Zhang Cuihua again.

"Your father was admitted to university, the best university, I think it's called Kyoto University." Zhang Zhuangzhuang raised a thumbs up. He didn't know whether this school was good or not, but it didn't affect his admiration for it.

He is worthy of being Chen Jianyan’s father. I always hear him say how great his father is. No wonder he is so smart and always gets first place in exams.

I really don't know why my aunt always says he is a fake, but my parents have told him not to listen to my aunt's nonsense. It seems that my aunt's words are indeed not credible.

"How did you know?" Although Chen Jianyan did not doubt his father's ability at all, he was still very curious about how Zhang Zhuangzhuang knew it.

"My aunt said that she went to the village chief's house early in the morning."

"She is quite curious." Don't think he doesn't know that Zhang Zhuangzhuang's aunt Zhang Cuihua usually likes to peek at her mother and always asks about her father.

Dad said that this is called jealousy, and Chen Jianyan thought it was right.

"My dad said the same thing." But I heard that she was going on a blind date, and her grandparents said that if she didn't get married, her brothers and sisters would never be able to get married in the future.

But my aunt was very picky and always wanted to marry someone from the city, not a peasant. My grandmother said she was a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

"I don't know when my dad will come back." I just finished lunch, but I haven't seen my father come back yet. I don't know if I can see him in the afternoon.

"Your dad is not at home? What is he doing?" Zhang Zhuangzhuang was curious.

"He went to the city to do some business." Chen Jianyan didn't say much.

After being scolded by Chen Xuyan a few times, my mouth has become much more honest. At least before speaking, I will think about whether I can say it outside.

My father told me a lot of stories about what happened to the children after they were abducted by human traffickers. Some of the children had their hands and feet broken and were forced to beg on the streets. Some had their tongues cut off. Some even had their faces scratched and were not recognized by their parents when they walked up to them.

Chen Jianyan felt so desperate when he thought about how his parents wouldn't recognize him. He even thought, what would he do if his parents had a new child?

Looking at the new clothes on himself, Chen Jianyan felt happy again. If he could live a life of eating meat buns and wearing new clothes every day, Chen Jianyan felt that he would wake up laughing in his dreams and would not dare to think about things that had not happened.

"Hey, Chen Jianyan, let me see your schoolbag. I haven't seen what's inside it yet." Zhang Zhuangzhuang scratched his head. Although he had been rejected by Chen Jianyan many times, he still didn't give up. He originally had a cloth bag that his grandmother had sewn, but it was still far inferior to Chen Jianyan's schoolbag. It would be great if he had a new schoolbag too.

Chen Jianyan was in a rare good mood today, but his new schoolbag was his favorite. He would wipe the books clean before putting them in. He was reluctant to give it to anyone in the class who wanted to see it, because his father bought it for him.

"But, go wash your hands a few more times and let me see if they are clean. Only when they are clean will I let you touch them." Chen Jianyan gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, Zhang Zhuangzhuang was a nice person. Every time he was unwilling to take a step forward to take out the trash, it was Zhang Zhuangzhuang who pushed him in to do it.

"Okay, I will definitely wash it clean, don't worry." Zhang Zhuangzhuang patted his chest, he was very happy.

Seeing him rush out, Chen Jianyan was still a little worried. He wanted to go and see how Zhang Zhuangzhuang washed his hands. The last time he saw him eating a steamed bun after washing his hands, the whole bun was covered with black handprints, and he didn't know how they were printed.

Chen Xuyan is on his way back now. He will know which school he can go to after the exam.

He still needed to go back to Shanghai to pick up some things and visit his teacher and the Chen family. He didn't plan to have anything to do with them anymore. As for Zhang Ni and Chen Jianyan, he planned to take them to Beijing and let Chen Jianyan go to school. The money he had would be enough to rent a good apartment and even live on. He would then find something to do. He planned to translate some articles to see if anyone at the school needed them.

Chen Xuyan felt that he was more than capable enough to support his wife and children.

Chen Jianyan put down his schoolbag in disappointment when he returned home from school and didn't see Chen Xuyan.

"Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet? Do you know that Dad was admitted to university?" Chen Jianyan ran to Zhang Ni.

"How could I not know?" Zhang Ni picked up the firewood and turned to leave. Chen Jianyan also helped her carry the firewood.

"Mom, is Kyoto University good?"

"Of course, this is the best school in our country." When your father comes out, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself.

"I want to go to the same university as my dad in the future."

"You? Then you must study hard. Look at your handwriting first. How different is it from your father's?" Chen Jianyan is good at all subjects, especially those that require thinking, but he is unwilling to practice calligraphy. Although his one-stroke handwriting is similar to that of his peers, Chen Xuyan is still not satisfied.

Every day he would be asked to practice calligraphy after dinner before being allowed to go out to play. If he did not write seriously, Chen Xuyan would keep asking him to practice more.

He originally thought that just finishing the writing would be enough, but even though the characters were similar, Chen Xuyan could always tell when he wasn't writing carefully and would make him practice again. He had originally arranged to play with the children in the village, but the more anxious he got, the more Chen Xuyan pressured him. The more mistakes he made, the more and more mistakes there were. Over time, he no longer dared to slack off, because he found that only by doing things calmly could he finish things faster.

Zhang Ni was also impressed. She had no idea that it was possible to teach a child this way, so she would always support Chen Xuyan's approach. If she were in charge, she would just give the child a beating whenever he wanted to go out to play. A few beatings would make him remember.

At this moment, at Zhang Zhuangzhuang's home.

"I don't agree." Zhang Cuihua looked at her mother in disbelief.

"It's settled. You're not satisfied with any of the people we've found for you, so just get married." Zhang's mother was a little tired. Zhang Ni was always making trouble at home. If she didn't leave, the family would probably fall apart, and her youngest son and daughter would both get married.

"That peasant is just a driver. He has no parents and looks just like Zhang Ni. He is as black as a piece of charcoal. I won't marry him." Zhang Cuihua firmly disagreed.

"He may not have parents, but he has good conditions and good character. Besides, he is not ugly, he is just tanned. He is a driver and has no parents. No one will bother you if you marry him. You just manage the money and your life will only get better and better." The most important thing is that she is from the next village and is close to home so it is convenient for her to come back. She makes trouble at home all day long, and the eldest daughter-in-law has been so angry that she has gone back to her parents' home several times. This time, she even threatened that she would never come back if she didn't marry him.

"Mom, I'm your daughter. Can you bear to see me living a bad life? Just because my sister-in-law asks me to work, I won't do it?" Although she didn't work, the food she ate was her parents', not hers. Why did she ask her to wash the dishes and clothes? Although it was always Zhang's mother who did it or asked her younger sister who was just over ten years old to do it.

My brother is the same. He married a wife who is so intolerant.

"Think about how old you are. You're almost 25. Zhang Ni's children are that age."

At this time, everyone gets married early.

At this age, I am still alone at home doing nothing, and my wife can't stand it anymore.

The younger daughter is so much younger than her and can do a lot of work. When it's busy, she will go to the fields to help. She sleeps until noon at home. After the whole family comes home from work, she has to do laundry and cook. She also has to feed the pigs and chickens before going out to work. If it were Zhang Ni, that girl could do everything.

She has always been biased and treats her own grandson better than her daughter. Her eldest son and husband can no longer stand this, so she can only find a good man for her daughter who lives close to home so that she can take care of her and support her.

But Zhang Cuihua didn't understand her kindness.
