The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

A few days later

It was time for Tian Wenyan to return to the village again.

He found walking tiring, so he took a bullock cart back.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, he dismounted from the oxcart and looked around with disdain, even deliberately patting off non-existent dust from his clothes.

Ge Tian and the others who were repairing Yin Baicai's house looked up as the carriage drove to the village entrance.

The lively Ge Wen couldn't stand Tian Wenyan's pretentious manner and was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, Tian Wenyan spoke first, "Hey, Ge Wen, why are you still working? It's so hot, unlike me, when it's hot I can only stay in the school reading those boring Four Books and Five Classics!"

Ge Wen could easily detect the sarcasm in Tian Wenyan's tone and immediately retorted, "Oh! Long time no see, Tian Wenyan. How come you haven't passed the preliminary examination yet? I heard you didn't pass the county examination in February again. Are you planning to try again next year?"

The group of children were of similar age. Tian Wenyan had looked down on them since childhood, always saying that they were just country bumpkins and that he was destined to be an official.

Naturally, they couldn't get along. Tian Wenyan always relied on his literacy to mock and ridicule Ge Wen and the others who were working hard.

He always said that once he passed the imperial examination and became an official, he would have several people serve as his servants.

Tian Wenyan angrily pointed at Ge Wen and the others, "You're so vulgar! I'll definitely pass the county exam next time. Stop looking down on me."

Ge Wen gave Tian Wenyan a disbelieving look.

"Oh, then you'd better study hard for the exam. After all, you're already twenty and still asking your mother for money."

Those working with Ge Wen and the others stopped talking and secretly laughed at Tian Wenyan.

Tian Wenyan was once again angered by Ge Wen's words, and his chest heaved.

I stormed off in a huff, thinking, "I can't be bothered to lower myself to the level of you commoners. It would be beneath me."

I am the only literate person in the village; you are just envious of me.

It was midday when Yin Baicai came out of Li Zhe's house to call Ge Tian and the others to have lunch.

He bumped right into Tian Wenyan, who was passing by.

They both clearly still remembered each other.

Tian Wenyan snorted coldly: "What, it's you, ugly boy? You wouldn't happen to be that jinx from the Yin family at the end of the village, would you?"

Yin Baicai felt unlucky, never expecting that the guy who bumped into her last time was actually from their village.

Judging by his attire, he's probably the scholar Tian Wenyan that's been talked about in the village.

The original owner had never met this person before, so it's normal that she didn't recognize her.

Tian Wenyan only knew that the Yin family in the village was shrewd and timid, but he had never seen them.

Naturally, no one knew what Yin Baicai looked like.

This pretentious guy actually dares to call himself a "human killer" (a term used to describe someone who brings bad luck or harm to others); he's got some nerve.

Yin Baicai looked directly at Tian Wenyan, who was about the same height as her, and said, "You've wasted your education! You're still indulging in feudal superstitions, saying I'm a jinx. Is your brain filled with shit?"

"Oh, no wonder you kept failing your exams, so that's why!"

"I smelled a stench as soon as I stepped outside. It turned out to be coming from you. And you, who call yourself a scholar, have such a foul mouth."

Tian Wenyan, who was bombarded with criticism by Yin Baicai, was so angry that his eyes widened. Wasn't it said in the village that the Yin family was a jinx and a timid person?

Why the sudden change of heart?

Tian Wenyan was so angry that he stammered, "You...you, I..."

Yin Baicai: "What do you mean 'you'? You can't even speak clearly. You think you can pass the imperial examination? You should just be born into a better family. With your IQ, you probably have no chance."

Yin Baicai's words infuriated Tian Wenyan; he had never been insulted like that before.

Even those in the school were always sarcastic and cynical; they had never been insulted so harshly before.

Enraged, Tian Wenyan raised his hand to hit Yin Baicai, but Yin Baicai grabbed his wrist.

With a blank expression, he tightened his grip, and Tian Wenyan, in pain, tried to pull his hand back, but couldn't break free no matter what he did.

He yelled at Yin Baicai, "You jinx, let me go!"

Yin Baicai sneered, "Fine!" Then she swung her away forcefully, and Tian Wenyan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Yin Baicai feigned shock: "You were the one who told me to let go, so I let go. You fell down on your own. You're not trying to extort money from me, are you?"

Tian Wenyan glared angrily at Yin Baicai.

Li Zhe had just taken the bowl out of the kitchen when he saw that Yin Baicai had been calling for someone for a long time but hadn't returned.

I was about to go out and take a look.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Yin Baicai, who looked like a wolf on high alert, a smile flashing in her eyes.

It seems that Brother Cai is stronger than he imagined, actually pushing a man so hard that he stumbled.

Li Zhe naturally recognized Tian Wenyan, but he had never seen him before. He didn't expect that this person was also from Peach Blossom Village.

After Ge Wen and the others finished their work, they looked up and saw Tian Wenyan and Yin Baicai seemingly talking about something.

Fearing that Tian Wenyan would mock Yin Baicai again, they all came over.

Ge Tian asked, "Brother Cai, what's wrong with you...?"

Yin Baicai laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just ran into a foul-mouthed jerk. By the way, Brother Ge, go back and have dinner! I made spare ribs today."

Tian Wenyan glared at Ge Tian and the others who were walking over, as well as Li Zhe who was leaning against the door frame, and then quickly left.

Ge Wen leaned closer to Yin Baicai: "Brother Cai, don't pay any attention to Tian Wenyan. He just likes to put on airs and show off. Let me tell you..."

Yin Baicai and Ge Wen shared the same view and started chatting.

Li Zhe watched as Ge Wen stood so close to Yin Baicai, his lips pressed into a straight line.

He walked over to the two people who were chatting happily, stood behind Yin Baicai, and said coldly, "If we don't start eating soon, the food will get cold."

Yin Baicai felt a chill and shrank her neck. "Li the bully, when did you get here? Why did you walk so quietly? Are you trying to scare me to death?!"

Li Zhe said coldly, "Just arrived, have you eaten?"

Yin Baicai turned her head and saw that Ge Tian and the others had all entered the courtyard, leaving only herself and Ge Wenzheng chatting happily, along with the aloof Li Zhe.

Seeing that Yin Baicai and Li Zhe were not there, and only Ge Tian and a few others were in the courtyard, Li Mo was a little shy.

He shouted towards the outside of the yard, "Mom, time to eat!"

Yin Baicai walked over. He knew that Li Mo was still afraid to contact other people, even Ge Tian and the others who had eaten together many times.

Li Zhe glanced at Ge Wen with a cold look, then followed Yin Baicai into the courtyard.

Ge Wen shrugged, puzzled. What did Second Brother Li mean by that?

Why is he looking at me like that? I don't think I've done anything to offend him.

Ge Tian called out from the yard, "Xiao Wen, aren't you coming to eat? We'll eat these ribs ourselves in a little while."

Unable to figure it out, Ge Wen decided to stop thinking about it and strode inside: "Brothers, you have to save some for me! Cai Ge'er's cooking is so delicious, how can you not save some for me!"
