Chapter 230 Cause and Effect
The name of this person is Wang Tingze, and his family is from Yin County. He lost his father when he was young, and there is only one widowed mother, Mrs. He, who raised her son by spinning and weaving. However, due to years of weaving, her eyes are blurred and she can't see. , now can only rely on helping others to wash clothes and earn some living expenses on Weibo, but even though it is so difficult, he still insists on supporting his son to go to school.

When He's eyes were not broken, he could afford his son Shuxiu with the income from selling cloth, but after his eyesight became blurred, the money he earned from washing clothes was only enough for mother and son to eat and drink, and he was no longer able to afford it. Then pay for bundle repair.Wang Tingze originally planned to drop out of school to learn a craft to support his widowed mother and himself, but his luck was really good. Just in time for Qingfeng Academy to recruit primary school students, he took part in the assessment with the mentality of giving it a try. , was selected by the teachers of the academy, and was recruited into the academy without Shuxiu, only to avoid the fate of dropping out of school and learning crafts.

Because of this, Wang Tingze especially cherished this hard-won opportunity to study, and studied harder. In the academy, he was always the first to wake up and the last to fall asleep. With such diligence, coupled with his good talent, his grades were natural He is ranked among the best, and he is almost the first in every monthly exam, which makes many officials' children who claim to be extraordinary are very jealous, and make trouble for him time and time again.

Overturning his food and wetting his bedding are commonplace, and there are also excuses for verbal insults and beatings.Zhou Muyi saw bruises on his body more than once when he was changing clothes.

But Wang Tingze endured all these silently in order to continue his studies. He also knew that he could not offend those officials' children, so he just swallowed his anger.Thinking that it was just some flesh and blood pain, Renren passed away.

Because Zhou Muyi and him are roommates, they meet a lot on weekdays. Zhou Muyi is a scumbag, and his father spent money to send him to the academy. Naturally, he can't keep up with the progress of the academy, and often because he can't answer the teacher's questions. Problems, being beaten in class.Wang Tingze would often secretly tell him the correct answer in private, so that he would be less hand-banged.After going back and forth, the two became friends. Wang Tingze helped Zhou Muyi with homework, and Zhou Muyi would buy some meat dishes and snacks for Wang Tingze.Or give him the extra pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhou Muyi naturally knew about Wang Tingze being bullied, but he himself was the son of a merchant, so he could only help Wang Tingze with his food and bedding, or help him apply ointment to his bruises.

But just two months ago, Wang Tingze was beaten again. Because he was already sick that day, this beating almost cost him his life. Zhou Muyi couldn't take it anymore, so he went to find the leader who bullied him. Wang Tingze's students had a big fight with him.Zhou Muyi himself was stronger than the boys of the same age, and he had learned some boxing skills from his master at home, so naturally he beat that guy black and blue.

But the student's status was unusual, he was the nephew of the head of the mountain, this beating, naturally broke the hornet's nest, the academy's punishment came down very quickly, and Zhou Muyi was expelled from the academy.

"Why is this academy so indiscriminate, don't they ask you why you beat someone!" Li Mei'er was filled with righteous indignation when she heard this, and said angrily with a puffy face.

Zhou Muyi just sneered and said: "The person I beat is the grand-nephew of the head of the mountain, but to expel me is considered a lenient sentence from the academy."

"What about that Wang Tingze, he didn't stand up and speak for you? You beat someone because of him!" Li Meier still asked angrily.

Zhou Muyi stopped talking, and his mood was obviously depressed. After a while, he said slowly: "I understand him. Even if he stood up to speak for me at that time, it would not change anything, but he would be affected. It is already very difficult here, there is no need to make trouble for yourself."

"But you helped him like that, and you were expelled from the school because of him, but he refused to say a word for you. It's really ungrateful!" Li Meier still held Zhou Muyi's grievances.

"It's okay, anyway, I don't like reading at all, and now it's just right, I can learn Kung Fu as I wish, Sister Meier, you may not believe it, I am now facing a young and vigorous adult man, and I can beat him to the ground !" Zhou Muyi said pretending to be relaxed, and clenched his fists to show the muscles on his arms, not sure if he was comforting Li Meier or himself.

Li Meier was immediately distracted by his words, looked at his arm, and said in surprise: "Really? You are so good, how long have you been practicing?"

"Daoist Siming's kung fu is amazing. I just learned the simplest Quanzhen boxing technique from him, and I already have such abilities. If I really worship him as a master, maybe I will really be able to become a general in the future. .” Zhou Muyi said triumphantly.

"Brother Ayi, are you going to be a Taoist priest in the future? Like those Taoist priests in this Taoist temple? Otherwise, why would Daoist Siming accept you as an apprentice?" Li Meier tilted her head, looking at Zhou Muyi and asked.

"If Daoist Siming is really willing to take me in, it's not impossible..." Zhou Muyi replied dryly, with a troubled expression on his face.This true Taoist priest is not allowed to marry, he is regarded as a "monk".

Hearing that the topic of the two of them had gone wrong, Mrs. Jiang interrupted quickly: "I'll talk about these things later, Ah Yi, the most urgent thing is that you have to go back to Zhangshui Town with us first, whether you want to continue studying or not. Martial arts training must be approved by your parents, they don't know that you have left the academy, and you don't want them to know about you from others, do you?"

Zhou Muyi lowered his head in shame, and after hesitating for a long time, he said weakly, "I'll just go back with Aunt Li..."

"That's right. You are grown up now, and you will be a big guy in a few years. You can't be as self-willed as before. You are a man, so you should have a man's responsibility." Jiang looked at Zhou Muyi, smiling happily said.

"Actually, Ah Yi, it's fine if you leave Qingfeng Academy, but after hearing what you said about the various things in the academy, I feel that this academy is not very good. No matter how knowledgeable and moral the gentlemen are, they will only mislead their students. "Jiang Youzhi said disdainfully.

"Youzhi is right. Although this Qingfeng Academy is famous, it has a lot of gold and jade in it, and it is much worse than Bailu Academy." Li Yan also echoed in agreement.

Although Zhou Muyi knew that the words of the two elders were mostly to comfort him, she was still very happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, Brother You, why don't you go home with me, and take this as my parents' words." Say it again face to face, so they shouldn't blame me."
