Chapter 3 A Little Moment of Nobleness
"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, how is Dong Zhu, has she given birth?"

At this moment, a surprised voice came from outside the room. Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to say, "Dong Zhu, it's the scholar. I asked him to come in and take a look. How could Ru Hai write you a divorce letter for no reason? I think he made a mistake!"

As he spoke, Wang Lin hurriedly stood up and left. Not long after, he returned with an old man in a Confucian robe that had been washed white. He was holding an old hen in his hand. Looking at Wang Ping'an who was sucking milk in Liu Dongzhu's arms, he handed the old hen to the grandmother and asked impatiently, "Old Wang, is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a big fat boy!"

Wang Lin’s old face was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"Okay, okay, your Wang family finally has an heir!"

Guo Xuesong asked, "Do you have a name?"

Wang Lin replied: "Just wait for you, the scholar, to come and name the child!"

Guo Xuesong was a scholar in the village. He had a school which was neither too big nor too small and was attended by all the children in the village. It was here that Ruhai of their family started his education. Guo Xuesong could be said to have given Ruhai a new life.

then.

When Wang Ruhai showed his talent for studying, it was Guo Xuesong who begged and pleaded with everyone to send Guo Ruhai to Qingyang Academy, the best academy in their county. There were great scholars in charge of the academy, who often provided financial support to Wang Ruhai every year.

otherwise.

How could their family, with only a few acres of thin land, support Guo Ruhai's full-time study for ten years?
Asking Guo Xuesong to name the baby in Liu Dongzhu's arms was something that had already been agreed upon when Liu Dongzhu was pregnant.

"Old Wang, what do you think of calling this kid Haoran?"

Guo Xuesong said.

Ever since the Wang family asked him to help name Wang Ruhai's child, he had thought of many names, both for boys and girls, and he thought "Haoran" was the most suitable.

Liu Dongzhu said sadly: "Master Guo, I hope my child will be an ordinary person, not a scholar!"

"What's wrong with being a scholar?"

Guo Xuesong said angrily.

Liu Dongzhu cried out like a cuckoo crying blood or an ape wailing: "You are a heartless scholar!"

Wang Lin hurriedly explained, "Scholar, Ru Hai just sent a letter from the capital, and Dong Zhu said it was a divorce letter. Isn't this nonsense? It must be a mistake!"

Grandma Zhang Guihua agreed, "That's right, that's right. Dongzhu has never done anything to let our family down. She is the most filial daughter-in-law in our village, no, in the entire county. How could Ruhai divorce Dongzhu? He must have made a mistake."

Liu Dongzhu didn't say anything, but handed over the letter in his hand.

Guo Xuesong took it and when he saw it for the first time, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly. It was undoubtedly a divorce letter. He cursed: "Beast, this beast, how could he do such a beastly thing?"

Wang Lin said in panic: "Scholar, could this really be a letter of divorce?"

"Impossible, how could our Ru Hai do such a thing?"

Zhang Guihua didn't believe it and said, "Scholar, did someone make a mistake with the letter?"

"Ru Hai - no, I still recognize this beast's handwriting!"

Guo Xuesong looked like he had aged by ten years. Wang Ruhai could be said to be his pride, especially after Wang Ruhai became the third place in the high school entrance examination. He looked like a rooster that had won a battle, with his head held high and his chest puffed out all day long.

Never thought of it.

Wang Ruhai would actually do something so worse than pigs and dogs!

Even a dog doesn’t know that a nest of gold or silver is not as good as its own doghouse!
Guo Xuesong sighed slightly, "Some days ago, someone told me that since Ru Hai won the third place in the imperial examination, the Prime Minister's daughter has had feelings for him. They are very passionate about each other. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't know it was true!"

'Oh! This father whom I have never met is really capable. He actually eats gigolo meals!'

Wang Pingan, who was quickly gaining energy to strengthen himself and joining in the fun, sneered secretly when he heard this, with a hint of sarcasm in his heart. He didn't look down on those who lived off women, after all, everyone had their own choices. In his previous life, he had struggled for many years and was still a social animal. He had also fantasized about having a rich woman who could see through his strength.

just.

He despised people like his father, who was married, lived off his wife and divorced her.

Logically speaking, his father was the third best student in high school, which means he was at the peak of his life. It was only a matter of time before he took off, so he didn't need to live off others.

He still did such a thing, which shows how cruel his heart is.

"This beast, this beast, he has brought shame to our Wang family!"

Wang Lin burst into tears and trembled all over. When he was about to fall to the ground, Guo Xuesong was the first to react and supported Wang Lin.

Wang Lin grabbed Guo Xuesong's hand and wailed, "Scholar, how could this beast do such a thing that is worse than pigs and dogs? If Dong Zhu hadn't been at home to take care of the two of us old people, how could he have been at ease in the imperial examination and won the third place in the imperial examination? The money he spent was also stained with Dong Zhu's blood!"

Guo Xuesong said with a disappointed look: "It's me, I didn't teach this beast well!"

"Scholar, I don't blame you, I don't blame you. It's our Wang family's bad feng shui that gave birth to such a beast!"

Wang Lin cursed: "Old woman, go ask someone to help you buy a coffin!"

Zhang Guihua was frightened to death and asked, "Old man, do you really want Dongzhu to die?"

"Even if I die, I won't let Dongzhu die. How can that beast divorce such a good wife? Is he still a human being?"

Wang Lin cursed loudly: "Our Ruhai was attacked by a wild beast on his way to Beijing for the imperial examination and lost his life. Even his body could not be found. Let's build a cenotaph for him!"

Zhang Guihua was startled, "Old man..."

Wang Lin interrupted, “Why, do you really want to see that beast divorce Dong Zhu?”

Zhang Guihua heard this, tears glistened in her cloudy eyes, and she lamented, "Old man, you are right, our Ruhai died on the way to Beijing for the exam!"

After saying that, Zhang Guihua turned and left.

Wang Ping'an watched Zhang Guihua leave, and then looked at Wang Lin who was in tears. He was shocked. He never thought that his grandparents in this life would do such a shocking thing.

but.

On second thought, he could guess why his grandfather would do such a thing. His mother should have been a child bride and grew up in the Wang family. If he really allowed Wang Ruhai to divorce her, he would definitely be pushing his mother to death.

"Ding! You have witnessed tragedies in the world, divorces, the death of children, and great love in the world. You have obtained the talent: Kindness in the Heart [Introduction] (Note: Those who have kind thoughts are blessed.)!"

A mechanical and cold voice sounded in Wang Ping'an's mind, which made Wang Ping'an suddenly happy.

"Scholar, I'm sorry to make you laugh!"

Wang Lin sighed slightly and changed his words: "I'll have to trouble you to give this child a new name!"

"What joke?"

Guo Xuesong laughed at himself. If he could, how could he watch such a joke? Not only was the Wang family embarrassed, but he was embarrassed too. He took a deep look at Wang Ping'an. For some reason, he found that Wang Ping'an seemed much more pleasing to the eye. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Since you, Dongzhu, don't want this child to be a scholar, then let him grow up safely and call him Ping An. What do you think, Dongzhu?"

"Okay, my child will be named Ping An, Wang Ping An!"

Liu Dongzhu said happily while crying.

"Ding! You are named 'Wang Ping'an' by the scholar, and you are given the talent: a little righteousness [beginner's guide] (Note: Confucianism says that if you have righteousness in your body, evil spirits and monsters will not come near you.)!"
