Chapter 306 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 10
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir."

The old farmer got out of the car in a hurry, looking ashamed. He apologized repeatedly and looked terrified.

He tried frantically to help clean up, but didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, passers-by around cast sympathetic or mocking glances.

Among them, there were several of Su Jin's former classmates, but they had no intention of stepping forward to help. Instead, they covered their noses and walked away with a look of disgust on their faces.

Su Jin stood there, feeling both ashamed and angry. She suppressed the nausea in her stomach and did not lose her temper.

He tried his best to maintain his composure and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay, it was an unintentional mistake on your part."

After saying this, he fled away with the book frame on his back.

The book frame was made of hollow bamboo. He ran wildly, stumbling all the way, causing the feces inside to spill all over the place, attracting the attention of passers-by and cursing.

Su Jin had never felt so embarrassed or so disgusted before, so she ran all the way to the stream outside Guluo Town.

By the stream, the grass is green, wild flowers are blooming, and birds are singing happily on the branches.

However, at this moment he had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

He couldn't wait to jump into the stream and wash himself desperately.

At this moment, a stream of light landed in the grove beside the stream, and a beautiful figure slowly emerged.

It was Yu Yao.

She looked at Su Jin's miserable appearance with a cold look in her eyes.

Su Jin Su Jin, this is just the beginning, just bear with it slowly.

In the previous life, the original owner gave everything for Su Jin, but in the end, all her cultivation was lost and she died.

She could understand Su Jin's prejudice against monsters, but the problem was that she had discovered that the original owner was a monster, but she pretended not to know and continued to deceive the original owner.

It was said that when she passed the imperial examination, he would marry her in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Just so that the original owner could continue to help him, do housework, wash clothes and cook for him, and spend money to support him in taking the imperial examinations.

This man is so scheming and cruel, it's no pity to cut him into pieces.

Su Jin didn't know that someone was watching him secretly, and his whole body was immersed in the stream water.

The cool stream water made him shiver uncontrollably, and he took off his clothes and washed off the dirt on his body.

He soaked his hair in water and rubbed it vigorously with his hands, trying to wash away the disgusting smell.

The face, neck, arms, from head to toe were washed carefully, with quick and rough movements.

The clothes were washed thoroughly, wrung out and then put on.

Even though it was extremely uncomfortable due to the wetness, I was in the wilderness without any other clothes, so I couldn't just go out naked, right?
Fortunately, the sun was still warm at this time, so although it was a bit cold, I wouldn't catch a cold.

He carefully took the book out of the frame and gently unfolded it.

But he was disappointed to find that the ink inside had become a blur and could not be seen at all.

"It's over, it's over, how could this happen?"

Su Jin felt like he was struck by lightning, and his face instantly turned pale.

He hurriedly picked up a few other books and opened them to check, but each one was in the same miserable state, with the handwriting so blurred that it was difficult to recognize.

His face was pale, and he sat down by the stream in a daze, his eyes dull and desperate.

It contains not only the books he spent half a month copying, but also "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" borrowed from a bookstore.

After copying these books, you have to return them. If they are damaged or lost, you have to compensate for the price.

A single copy of "The Analects of Confucius" would cost at least three or four taels of silver. "Mencius" was even more expensive, and you couldn't buy it without five taels of silver.

And all those books he had worked so hard to copy for half a month were now useless.

More than a dozen taels of silver were gone, and he was also covered in feces. Su Jin felt so aggrieved and angry that he had nowhere to vent, and he collapsed to the extreme.

He held his head in his hands and screamed in pain: "Why? Why do you do this to me?"

Tears fell uncontrollably, he never thought that he would encounter such a disaster.

Su Jin felt that he couldn't just let it go, so he cleaned the book frame, put it on his back, and decided to go find the farmer.

Even though his clothes and hair were wet, he didn't care.

He can't afford to pay more than ten taels of silver, so someone has to share the burden with him, right?

Yu Yao just watched in secret and saw that Su Jin did not go back, but continued to head towards Guluo Town.

Being curious about where Su Jin was going, he turned into a breeze and followed quietly.

Su Jin didn't know the farmer who was pulling manure, nor did he know where he lived.

I could only ask people along the way, but everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Finally, a kind-hearted woman told him that the farmer lived in Zhaojia Village, which was the closest to Guluo Town. Su Jin thanked the woman and went to Zhaojia Village.

After asking along the way, I finally found Mr. Zhao's home.

At this time, Mr. Zhao was doing farm work in the yard, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Hearing the noise coming from the courtyard gate, he looked up, and the moment he saw Su Jin, his expression was very surprised.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, so he put down the farm tools in his hands and went to meet him.

Su Jin walked into Uncle Zhao's house with a gloomy face. Looking at Uncle Zhao who looked uneasy, he tried his best to remain calm.

He took off the book frame on his back, took out the wet and wrinkled book inside, handed it to Mr. Zhao, and gently unfolded it for him to see.

Mr. Zhao leaned over to take a look. Although he was illiterate, he could tell that the handwriting was blurred and the book was useless.

He immediately understood the young man's intention and his face turned pale.

"Old man, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Su Jin went straight to the point and spoke while suppressing his anger.

Mr. Zhao looked guilty, "Sir, I'm so sorry, this is really my fault."

Seeing that the old man didn't mention compensation at all and just apologized, Su Jin became more angry, but she suppressed it.

"Uncle, I worked hard to copy books for half a month, and the two books I borrowed from the bookstore were all destroyed by the feces on your car. I have to compensate the bookstore for these books, and my hard work for half a month has been wasted. Uncle Zhao, what do you think we should do about this loss?"

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he panicked. "Sir, I really didn't mean it, but I'm just a farmer who occasionally picks up manure for people in town. I really don't have the money to compensate you."

How could he afford to pay for something as valuable as a book?
If he had this money, he would have sent his son to school long ago. Why would he be a miserable farmer?

Su Jin frowned, raised his eyebrows a few points, and said with a suppressed anger: "Old man, I know it's not easy for you, but I am also a poor scholar. I have calculated that the total amount is twenty taels of silver. You must find a way to compensate me, otherwise, I can't explain to the bookstore."

When Mr. Zhao heard that twenty taels of silver were needed, he became even more panicked. With so much silver, they couldn't afford the compensation even if they sold all their belongings.

Just then, Mr. Zhao’s son, Zhao Dazhuang, came back from outside.

Zhao Dazhuang has a strong physique, but he looks a bit ruffian, with messy hair and his clothes are worn crookedly.

He saw Su Jin arguing with his father, so he squinted his eyes and pouted his lips and asked, "Dad, what's going on?

Zhao Dazhuang is a lazy, second-rate guy who usually does nothing but steal things and climb over the walls of widows' houses.

He has a very bad reputation in the surrounding villages, and as a result, he is almost 30 years old and still hasn't found a wife.

When Mr. Zhao saw his son like this, he was furious, but he still told his son what had happened.

When Zhao Dazhuang heard that he had to pay twenty taels in compensation, his face sank, his eyes widened like bells, and he shouted arrogantly: "What? You want compensation? If you don't have money, don't even think about it!"

He had a very loud voice and looked ferocious, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not someone who was easy to deal with.

Su Jin frowned and thought: Why is this person so unreasonable?
But seeing that the other party looked like a second-rate person, he had a feeling that he would not be able to get the money today.

But he thought that if he didn't ask the other party to compensate, he wouldn't be able to compensate the bookstore. After thinking about it, he decided to argue.

"This is the loss you caused, how can you not compensate me? I don't mind if you splashed me with feces. But those two books were borrowed from a bookstore, so if they were damaged, you have to compensate for the price. And I spent a lot of time copying those books."

It's good that Zhao Dazhuang doesn't blackmail others, but how can it be acceptable if others blackmail him?
He grabbed Su Jin by the collar and said viciously, "Compensation? Not a cent, scholar, I'm warning you, get out of here if you know what's best for you, or I'll hit you with my fists."

Su Jin was so angry that she was shaking all over, her face flushed red, and she broke free from Zhao Dazhuang's hand and said angrily, "You are playing tricks."

Old Mr. Zhao stood aside awkwardly. Although he felt that he was in the wrong and his son was wrong, he really couldn't afford the twenty taels of silver to pay compensation.

"What's wrong with me being a scoundrel? Why don't you go and find out who I, Zhao Dazhuang, am?"

Zhao Dazhuang was so arrogant that he punched Su Jin in the face.

Su Jin was unable to dodge and was hit hard by several punches. He saw stars and felt dizzy.

His entire face became bruised and swollen in an instant, and he fell to the ground.

He could no longer maintain his scholarly demeanor and said gloomily, "This is really lawless. Just wait, I'm going to sue the authorities!"

When Zhao Dazhuang heard that the other party was going to sue the police, he beat Su Jin even more fiercely, wishing he could beat him to death.

"Go ahead and sue me! Let's see who's afraid of who! I've never been afraid of anyone in these ten miles or so villages!"

When Mr. Zhao saw that the matter was getting serious, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Dazhuang, "Don't make it a big deal!"

Zhao Dazhuang pushed his father aside and said, "Dad, you are just a coward. I will beat him up so hard that he can't get up. Then he will sue me."

Su Jin was a scholar, so naturally he was not as strong as Zhao Dazhuang. He was pinned to the ground and beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back at all.

He was crying out in pain, having been beaten so badly that his entire face was swollen like a pig's head and his original appearance was unrecognizable.

If it weren't for Old Man Zhao and the neighbors who heard the noise and came out to separate them, Su Jin would have probably lost half her life.

Su Jin knew that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he did not say any more threatening words to avoid an even more severe beating.

He suppressed his anger, got up from the ground, and limped away with a gloomy face.

Yu Yao watched the show in secret, and when Su Jin left, she followed him silently.
