Although Sun Mo didn't say anything, Li Gong, who was an old dog that had been through a lot in society, knew that Sun Mo was definitely here to look for him.
After waiting for a while and ascertaining that his colleagues wouldn't think that he had a relationship with Sun Mo, Li Gong went out and immediately ran to the temporary resting room in the warehouse area.
As expected, Sun Mo was already waiting for him.
"Teacher Sun!"
Li Gong walked over with a face full of smiles. He instantly turned from an old dog to a pug.
"I beat Yang Cai half to death."
Sun Mo looked at Li Gong's eyes, paying attention to his emotional fluctuations.
"Che!"
Li Gong directly flashed a thumbs up. "Actually, I've long since wanted to beat him up. That fellow is a scum!"
"During these few days, he should be going to the headmaster's office to complain about me. Prepare all the materials."
Sun Mo instructed.
"Alright!"
Li Gong nodded and agreed, not daring to delay. When Sun Mo was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "What about my leg?"
"You feel that I can't treat it?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"No... no, I'm saying..."
Li Gong originally wanted to ask when Sun Mo could treat him, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he didn't dare to say it. He was deeply afraid that he would anger Sun Mo.
"Li Gong, a matter like your leg is a small matter."
Sun Mo walked to the window and looked at the sky.
Li Gong nodded, but he was grumbling in his heart. (I'm the one who is crippled. You won't be able to understand the feelings of someone who has been crippled for over ten years.)
This was especially so when they were rolling in the sheets. Even those lowly prostitutes weren't willing to accept his customers.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Sun Mo had God Hands. To Sun Mo, a crippled leg was indeed a small matter.
"You have to look further. This time around, if we kill Yang Cai, who do you think will take over his position?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Eh!"
Li Gong was stunned.
In the school, An Xinhui, Zhang Hanfu, and Wang Su were fighting for the position of the logistics department head. No one would want to let go of such a lucrative position.
"I don't dare to say for the department head position, but I can fight for the vice department head position for you."
Sun Mo wasn't speaking blindly.
Children looked at right and wrong, while adults only looked at benefits.
Li Gong was definitely not a good person, but this fellow was talented. Seeing that he was able to become a foreman and subdue the people in the logistics department, he knew that this old dog had a few tricks up his sleeves. Keeping him by his side and letting him bite people was not a bad idea.
That's right, Engineer Li definitely couldn't afford to offend those teachers. However, he could still cause trouble for them and disgust them.
Li Gong's brows twitched and his heart started to beat violently. If that was really the case, he would be able to achieve meteoric success!
"If you follow Zhang Hanfu, no matter how well you do, you'll only be able to get this position at most. But if you follow me, this is just a starting point."
Sun Mo smiled.
Li Gong was a tactful and decisive person. When he saw an opportunity, he wouldn't hesitate at all and would directly pounce forward.
Thump!
Li Gong knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"From today onward, I, Old Li, will sell my life to Teacher Sun!"
Li Gong kowtowed with all his might. Even his forehead had turned slightly green. However, he didn't feel any pain. Instead, he felt extremely excited.
What was Sun Mo trying to do? He was clearly trying to seize power!
One mustn't forget that he was An Xinhui's fiancé. This Central Province Academy was established by the An Clan's ancestor and was considered their private property.
Once Sun Mo married An Xinhui, he wouldn't just be a teacher. He could be considered half a master and would have the qualifications to interfere in the school's affairs.
Right now, Sun Mo was a loner. If he submitted to Sun Mo, he would be Sun Mo's first subordinate and would help Sun Mo build this empire. In the future, based on his contributions, he would at least be a department head in the school, right? He might even be able to get a higher position.
"Very good!"
Sun Mo left. "I'm looking forward to your performance. You must definitely make that Yang Cai die thoroughly."
"Don't worry!"
Li Gong patted his chest and guaranteed.
Sunlight cascaded down on Sun Mo's body, covering him in a layer of golden light. In addition to the azure teacher robes, Sun Mo exuded a scholarly and carefree disposition. However, who would know that this fellow was actually a two-faced scheming dog?
"How terrifying!"
Li Gong suddenly shivered. He had thought that Sun Mo was a harmless bootlicker. He didn't expect that not only did Sun Mo want to marry a great beauty like An Xinhui, but he also wanted to take over the school.
Back then, he had actually thought of suppressing Sun Mo to gain Yang Cai's favorable impression and rise to the heavens in a single step. It was too ridiculous.
He should really thank the heavens and earth that he didn't play Sun Mo to death.
Upon thinking of this, Li Gong rejoiced and broke out in cold sweat. He really had to thank Sun Mo for not killing him. After that, he warned himself that in the future, no matter who he offended, he shouldn't offend Sun Mo.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Gong + 30. Friendly (156/1,000).
"What the hell?"
Sun Mo was a little stunned when he suddenly heard the system notification. Moreover, the favorable impression points were so high.
"Right now, your image in Li Gong's heart is that of a great demon king!"
The system laughed.
"What on earth is this fellow thinking?"
Sun Mo was speechless. He had said those things earlier because he wanted to give Li Gong a sweet date, enticing him to do his best.
...
Three days later, Yang Cai, who had half his body wrapped in bandages, appeared at Ying Baiwu's house.
Ying Tie limped over and welcomed him with an apologetic smile.
"Department Head Yang, what can I do for you?"
Just as Ying Tie finished speaking, he received over ten slaps on his face.
Blood could be seen at the corner of his mouth, but Ying Tie didn't even dare to let out a fart. He directly knelt and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
There was no solution to it. He couldn't afford to offend such a major character. Right now, his entire family was still depending on Yang Cai to feed them.
"Ying Tie, you have really taught a good daughter!"
Yang Cai cursed. He then kicked Ying Tie's face.
"What did that slut do? I will go and beat her to death! "
Ying Tie had a look of anger on his face. Actually, he understood that Yang Cai might have wanted to sleep with his daughter but failed. Hence, Yang Cai vented his anger on him.
How ridiculous! He wouldn't die if he slept with her. Also, if he could become Yang Cai's mistress, he would be able to live a good life. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Come over!"
Yang Cai called Ying Tie over and instructed him in detail. "Do you understand?"
"Mn!"
Ying Tie nodded. (Isn't it just framing others? I'm very familiar with such things!)
"Do a good job. After this matter is over, I will arrange an easy job for you in the school."
Yang Cai knew that if he wanted a horse to run, he had to feed it well. Hence, he gave out some bait.
"In that case, I will have to thank Department Head Yang in advance!"
Ying Tie had no moral integrity at all.
"Mn, here's a hundred taels. Take it first."
After Yang Cai spoke, he turned and left. He didn't want to stay in such a dirty and messy slum for a second longer.
"Thank you, Department Head Yang, for the reward!"
Ying Tie called out loudly and sent Yang Cai to the end of the street. After that, he impatiently took the money and knocked on the door of a private brothel.
After that, he would go to the gambling den and start a killing spree.
Ying Tie felt that he would definitely win today.
...
When the sky turned dark, Ying Baiwu carried a piece of cured meat and 500kg of beef home.
After finishing her work in the smithy today, Ying Baiwu told the boss that she was going to leave.
The boss felt very regretful. Although Ying Baiwu was a girl, she wasn't inferior to those men when it came to swinging a hammer. Also, she had never slacked off. Every day after work, her clothes would be drenched in sweat.
Honestly speaking, a girl who was willing to work and could endure hardship would definitely be a good match. If it wasn't for the fact that her background was too poor, with one of her parents being a lazy gambler and the other a prostitute, he really wanted to talk to his son about this marriage.
"Ai, what a pity!"
The boss sighed. Ying Baiwu's entire life was ruined by that family. He didn't have anything else to give to this girl. Hence, he bought some beef and cured meat for Ying Baiwu.
"Mother!"
Ying Baiwu pushed open the door and saw her mother sitting in the courtyard. In order to save money, she reluctantly lit an oil lamp and was embroidering under the moonlight. Her heart suddenly ached.
"Wu 'er is back?"
This was a haggard woman. Her figure was so skinny that she looked like a bag of bones. It was said that back then, she was the top courtesan of the Qinhuai River and had a great reputation in the entire Jiangnan. Just listening to her play a song would cost a few thousand taels.
"Mother, how many times have I said it? Your body isn't good, so you shouldn't do these kinds of work. I will work hard to earn money!"
Ying Baiwu took away the needle and thread and started to show off again. "Look, we are eating beef today!"
After saying this, Ying Baiwu went to a corner of the courtyard. There was a stove there and she started to cook.
"Ai, mother is useless. You are already 13 years old and should be going to school. However, mother can't afford the school fees."
Seeing her sensible daughter busying herself with fatigue on her face, Mother Ying felt heartache and sadness. She kept on tearing up.
"What's the use of going to school? Even if I don't go to school, I'm still better than those people! "
Ying Baiwu's lips twitched. She often went to classes and relied on her own hard work to succeed in the body-refinement realm without anyone's guidance.
It was just that she had to work every day to earn money and had too little time for cultivation. Hence, Ying Baiwu was only at the second level of the body-refinement realm.
"Your life shouldn't be like this in the first place!"
Mother Ying looked at her daughter and sighed.
"No matter what kind of life it is, as long as I can be together with mother, I will be the happiest one!"
Ying Baiwu lifted her head and smiled at her mother.
The cold moonlight was like water, cascading down on the young girl. It was like a poem, like a painting. But an instant later, this warm and peaceful scene was destroyed.
Bang!
Ying Tie, who reeked of alcohol, kicked open the door. When he saw Ying Baiwu returning home, he didn't say anything and rushed to her side. He picked up the fire rod and smashed it down on her face.
"You slut, I told you to work properly. How did you offend Yang Cai?"
Ying Tie cursed and kept on kicking.
"She was drunk and wanted to rape me!"
Ying Baiwu hugged her head and roared.
Upon hearing this, Ying Tie started. Mother Ying's body trembled as tears streaked down her face.
"You slut, why didn't you take the chance to climb into his bed? This is such a good opportunity, you are wasting it. "
Ying Tie had a look of exasperation on his face. When he thought of the slap he received in the afternoon, the fire rod in his hand increased in force.
"Stop hitting me!"
Mother Ying rushed over, wanting to stop Ying Tie.
"Scram! Whore! "
Ying Tie slapped his wife's face, causing her to tumble.
Upon seeing this scene, Ying Baiwu, who had been passively getting beaten, suddenly ran toward Ying Tie. "Don't hit my mother!"
