Chapter 304 There's hope!
"Who are you? Just because you don't let us in doesn't mean we can't come in!"
Two young men outside the courtyard pointed into the courtyard, their tone extremely displeased. "We're here to see Wu Yazi, what's it to you?"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of my way, or else..."
One of the short, fat men leered at Wen Luozhi's face, his eyes scanning her like a vicious dog eyeing a meat bun.
Wen Luozhi snorted coldly. "With this kind of pathetic appearance, you still want to ask a teacher for guidance? Go home and play in the mud!"
"Hey kid, I'm telling you, you little wench!"
The short, fat man was so angry when he saw the contempt on her face that he jumped up and down. He cursed and reached out to grab Wen Luozhi's arm.
Just as he was imagining how flexible that arm must be, a few snapping sounds pulled him back to reality.
"Ouch!" When he came to his senses, he clutched his arm and spun around in pain.
"My hands, my hands! Ouch, ouch!"
Wen Luozhi leaned against the door nonchalantly, watching him spin around like a top and giggle.
The short, stout man got even angrier. "What are you still standing there for? Grab this little hussy!" he yelled at his companion.
His companion had just witnessed Wen Luo break the short, fat man's arm in just two moves, so he swallowed hard and could only grit his teeth and charge forward.
"Ouch!" she cried as she ran, but when she was only a few steps away from Wen Luozhi, a very displeased voice came from inside the courtyard, "Who's barking like a dog outside? Get away from here!"
Wu Yazi had already gotten up from the recliner; after a nap, he felt warm and incredibly relaxed.
If it weren't for the noise outside the courtyard, he could have slept a little longer. I wonder who was so blind!
He stood up angrily and walked out of the courtyard. As soon as the short, fat man saw him, he started crying and complaining, "Headmaster Wu! This little wench broke my arm! You have to stand up for me!"
The short, stout man seemed to have found a powerful backer when he saw Wu Yazi. Although his arm ached, he couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes.
"You!" Wu Yazi glared angrily at Wen Luozhi, which only made the short, fat man's smugness even more pronounced.
He said it! Who wouldn't know him? Even a nobody like Wu Yazi has to give him face.
Wu Yazi snorted and continued speaking to Wen Luozhi, "Didn't I tell you to guard the door properly for me? Why waste your breath and just kick people out when they come?"
"You've ruined my daydream!"
The short, stout man stared in disbelief. "Headmaster Wu! I..."
He pointed to his arm; his arm was broken! Did this old man want to hear what he was saying?
Wu Yazi glanced at him and said coldly, "I don't care which family's young master you are, I won't accept you!"
"Anyone who disrespects women will not be accepted!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi's eyes immediately turned into doe eyes.
This old man is nice! She likes him!
Wen Zijin, standing to the side, smiled. No wonder he was a teacher recommended by Master Su.
After saying that, Wu Ya Zi pulled out a money bag and threw it to the short, fat man, saying, "Take this to see a doctor, and don't come back again!"
The short, stout man's face turned a deep purplish-red with rage. He pointed a finger at Wu Yazi and shouted, "Who do you think you are! You're nothing but..."
"Ahhhhh!" Before he could finish cursing, Wen Zijing had already gripped his good hand tightly with great force.
"Let go! Let go! I won't say anything more!" He quickly begged for mercy, and Wen Zijin pushed his hand away forcefully.
The short, stout man spun around like a ball before finally sitting down on the ground, and Wu Yazi, who had a stern face, almost burst out laughing.
Seeing that things were going badly, his companion quickly helped the short, stout man up.
"We've disturbed you, Headmaster Wu! We'll take our leave now!"
He helped the man up and ran away, thinking that Wu Yazi had only told the fat man not to come.
But I didn't tell him not to come!
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would offend Wu Yazi again, and then he would have no chance at all.
After the person left, the courtyard became quiet for a while.
Wen Luozhi stood obediently at the door with her head down.
This old man is actually quite kind! He even gave that pig money to treat its arm.
I don't even know how much silver was inside. She broke her arm, so of course she has to pay for it!
Wu Ya Zi glanced at the brother and sister, and awkwardly said, "Come inside and sit down with me."
“I only said I was just sitting down!” he emphasized.
The brother and sister followed behind him, and Wen Luozhi gave Wen Zijin a thumbs-up.
Wen Zijin helped Wu Yazi sit down and poured him a glass of water.
Wu Yazi took it, and the warmth in his hand surprised him slightly.
"When did you boil the water?" he asked.
Wen Zijin leaned forward slightly. "The autumn air is dry, and I was afraid you would have a dry mouth after waking up, so I boiled some water and left it there while you were asleep."
I hope you won't take offense, sir.
Wu Yazi took a sip of hot water and closed his eyes comfortably. It had been three days since he last drank hot water.
The recliner was comfortable, and he lay there rocking back and forth, looking extremely content.
Wen Luozhi had a good eye and took out some snacks suitable for the elderly from the things she brought in.
"Mr. Wu, I made all of this. Please do me the honor of trying some."
He wouldn't hit someone who's smiling, and besides, the girl in front of him had a clever and quick-witted air about her, so he wasn't averse to her.
Thinking of what he had eaten at noon, he smacked his lips and said, "Hmph, shall I try some?"
Wen Luozhi nodded quickly, "Mr. Wu, please try it. If you have any suggestions, please let me know."
Wu Yazi sat up straight and picked up a round, white object.
He took a sniff first, and a faint sweet fragrance wafted into his nose.
He opened his mouth and took a bite; the smooth and soft texture made him squint his eyes slightly.
After she finished eating one, Wen Zijin handed her a cup of pear and loquat juice.
Wu Yazi thought it was just hot water. After taking a sip, he found it sweet with a medicinal taste and couldn't help but finish the cup.
"You two certainly know how to eat," he complimented. Wen Luozhi seized the opportunity to recommend another dish, "Try the peach slices too."
The food was handed over, and Wu Yazi took it and, following Wen Luozhi's instructions, tore off a piece and tasted it.
It has a subtle sweetness in the mouth, along with the aroma of various dried fruits, which is quite satisfying.
"Not bad at all, the little girl is quite skillful," he sincerely praised, which made Wen Luozhi very happy.
There's hope! There's definitely hope!
They've been inside for so long without being kicked out; they were actually invited in!
If we just put in a little more effort, wouldn't it be done?!
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Wu. If you would be so kind as to..."
"Hey! Stop! Stop!"
Wu Yazi raised an eyebrow. "You think you can take me as your disciple just because you ate a little bit of food?"
He glanced at Wen Zijin, who had a faint smile on her face, and said, "Dream on."
The lunch was just enough to satisfy a craving; it was tasty, but...
He would never say it's not enough!
Wen Luozhi blinked, and seeing his slightly awkward expression, she had a sudden inspiration. "A little isn't enough! My brother brought you a lot!"
She started talking about what other food they had. Although Wu Yazi had never heard of these things before, he knew from her description that they must be good.
