Chapter 324: Oh So Righteous

Once Wen Ruhua left, Ning Shu turned to He Dahua and said, “Thank you for the flowers.”
“Little beauty, why are you staying with someone like Wen Ruhua?” He Dahua had already said this countless times but his expression remained just as sincere. “Even if a beauty like you doesn’t choose a man as outstanding as me, you still shouldn’t choose a man like Wen Ruhua.”
“Hm? It seems like you hate Wen Ruhua a lot? But your younger sister seems to like him a lot?” asked Ning Shu with a smile.
He Dahua immediately became indignant. The flesh on his face contorted with disgust as he spat, “That sister of mine must have dogsh*t bluring her vision to be crushing on that beast in human skin. He’s just a little pretty boy. His looks are all that my younger sister likes. If it weren’t for the fact that my old man would probably break my legs, I’d bring my younger sister to a brothel and show her that there are pretty boys with looks even better than Wen Ruhua’s!”
Ning Shu: …
This guy was also quite unique. He actually wanted to bring his younger sister to visit male prostitutes? He was refreshingly straightforward and his personality was also pretty good. It was just a pity that his looks were a little too lacking. If this guy had been a male lead, Mu Yanmeng wouldn’t have suffered so much.
She nodded in agreement. “Wen Ruhua is indeed a useless man.”
“That’s right. There’s finally one other person that sees it. Little beauty, why don’t we become sworn brothers?” He Dahua reached out to grab Ning Shu’s hands.
Ning Shu took a step back. “Give up on trying to take advantage of me.”
He Dahua laughed heartily and flipped open his fan in a very flashy manner.
Once some time passed, Ning Shu became pretty good friends with the He family siblings. They were the ones that brought her food everyday. When she told them that she had a hidden guard, He Dahua immediately had his family prepare an additional portion.
However, Ning Shu paid for all the food. The villagers had it tough after all. At first, He Dahua refused this arrangement, but Ning Shu continued insisting so He Dahua finally accepted it.
Ning Shu grew to understand that He Dahua really wasn’t a village tyrant that milked the villagers out of the fruits of their labors like Wen Ruhua had said. He Dahua was just flirtatious and liked to tease the young ladies in the village from time to time. He hadn’t actually done anything to anyone before.
However, to Wen Ruhua, this was being lower than a beast and ruining the purity of women. He was convinced that the women were furious but were just too scared to voice it.
Ning Shu felt that Wen Ruhua was just envious of He Dahua’s fearlessness since all he could do was hide in his room and read porn. How was Wen Ruhua’s conduct any more noble than He Dahua’s?
However, Wen Ruhua turned out to be pretty strong-willed after all. He refused to eat any of the food the He family siblings brought over and would just eat some hard maize pancakes or watery gruel after they left.
Ning Shu was amazed that Wen Ruhua hadn’t become skin and bones from eating those everyday and managed to stay good looking.
It was way too illogical.
Every time He Dahua came to visit Ning Shu, Wen Ruhua would coldly criticize Ning Shu for shamelessly seducing men. Then he would sneer at He Dahua for wanting shoes that someone else had thrown out. Even He Xiaohua ended up getting implicated. He was always ridiculing He Xiaohua for being a woman that no one wanted and saying that no one would marry her even if they were paid to do it.
Ning Shu expressed her admiration towards Wen Ruhua’s ability to spit scalding remarks. How did a man become so good at talking? It probably counted as a skill to be this malicious. As expected of a scholar that had read a lot of books.
Ning Shu and He Dahua didn’t really care about what Wen Ruhua said about them, but He Xiaohua was very hurt. She liked Wen Ruhua. The fact that the person she liked showed such contempt and disdain towards her hurt her a lot.
After a while, she exploded again. With her hands on her hips, she shouted at Wen Ruhua, “What is there about me that’s lacking!? My father’s the village chief so my family has plenty to eat and I’m also good-looking. What right do you have to look down on me!? You’re nothing but a teacher. You don’t even make enough to have a good meal! What right do you have to look down on me!? Wen Ruhua, I’m telling you, you should be honored that I like you. Don’t spit on other people’s generosity!”
“I’d rather stay single this entire lifetime than marry you,” said Wen Ruhua resolutely.
“You, you…” He Xiaohua started crying from anger, then ran off, wiping at her tears.
