From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1033 - 1029: How to Deal with Chen Sheng (Ninth Update)

Chapter 1033: Chapter 1029: How to Deal with Chen Sheng (Ninth Update)

Huang Er was fuming, unable to stand the brat anymore.

Even a rough man like him knew that children couldn’t be touched, yet this wretch dared to scare even kids.

If he wasn’t properly taught a lesson, things might get out of hand later.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of ways!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Chen Sheng was still grumbling, and seeing that no one wanted to stay and wait with him, Mu Shuangshuang promptly instructed Huang Da and Huang Er to take him to the Huang family’s woodshed.

They would lock him up for now and see how he acts in repentance later.

The reason Chen Sheng came to scare these children was all because of greed.

At first, he was so greedy that he made outrageous demands in front of Mu Shuangshuang, thinking that she had no other options but him, so he strutted around the village and racked up a lot of debt.

Once he found out Mu Shuangshuang had sought out a teacher, not only did he not find fault in himself, but he also blamed Mu Shuangshuang for not giving him a chance.

Thus, he always wanted to find an opportunity to get back at Mu Shuangshuang and at the same time take all her students from her.

However, Chen Sheng truly wasn’t a smart person; anyone with clear eyes could see through his thinking.

Huang Da and Huang Er delivered the tied-up man to their woodshed, and Huang Er personally stood guard at the door, afraid Chen Sheng might escape.

The group had lunch at Huang Da and Huang Er’s house.

At the dining table, Huang Er was still visibly agitated.

"Big Brother, Fengzi, we can’t just let this go; that scoundrel doesn’t look like any good!"

"In my opinion, we should just do what Big Brother said earlier and turn him over to the government for simplicity!"

Huang Da furrowed his brows, took a moment, and then spoke: "Ah Er, let’s hear what Miss Shuangshuang has to say about this!

Maybe sending him to the government isn’t the only way to solve this. The brat is bad, but if we really send him to the government, all his years of study would be wasted.

By then, if he can’t become a scholar, who knows what he might turn into!"

Even Mu Shuangshuang was surprised by Huang Da’s words.

Perhaps all the trivial matters of purchasing over time had refined his character.

In the case of Chen Sheng, Huang Da indeed made a bit of sense.

"It’s not that simple; get rid of the root cause! For this kind of pest, we might as well spend more money to keep him in prison for life. Or we could tell the government he’s involved with women.

If that doesn’t work, claim he’s stealing or something, anything that lands him in prison forever. I’d like to see how that wretch can overturn things!"

Huang Er and Huang Da had completely different philosophies.

However, in the end, they both agreed on one thing, which was to remove any future troubles.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng exchanged a glance, both having an idea.

"I actually agree with both of your points. Chen Sheng is indeed bad, but he’s not completely beyond help, and his status is quite special as a scholar.

If we can’t handle this well, and if somehow he becomes a scholar and then an official, we’d have made a great enemy for ourselves."

Since ancient times, the common people have never contended with the officials. Chen Sheng is still just a scholar now, but as Liu Zian said, with some effort, he might still become a scholar.

As for whether he could achieve anything in the Capital, that’s like winning the lottery. The odds exist but are rather low.

"That’s true; he is a scholar after all!" Huang Er nodded.

"Indeed, they say it’s better to offend an incompetent person than a potential villain!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded in agreement.

"So there’s no way to deal with him?" Huang Er asked again.

Lu Yuanfeng replied, "It’s not that there’s no way. What Shuangshuang said earlier at least affects Chen Sheng’s mentality. Next, we should scare him a bit more.

Once he truly repents, we’ll take him to meet the parents of those kids. The sins he’s committed, he should atone for himself!"

The group agreed and started to eat.

After the meal, Huang Da kindly brought Chen Sheng a bowl of food.

Since being caught and brought to Huang Da and Huang Er’s woodshed, Chen Sheng had been silently sitting, saying nothing.

He curled up in a corner of the woodshed, looking quite unnerving.

Seeing him like that, Huang Da felt a bit uneasy inside and couldn’t help but feel some pity.

So he said, "I don’t know what you’re thinking; you could be a decent person, yet you’ve turned yourself into something neither human nor ghost."

"Honestly, money is just a material thing, something you have to earn for yourself whether you have it or not."

"My brother and I were worse off than you; back then, we had no parents, and we’d eat one meal and skip the next."

"Even though we were strong, we could never hit our prey. We had no choice but to steal a bit here and there from different houses just to fill our stomachs."

"Until we met Miss Shuangshuang and Fengzi; back then, we even tried to kill them for stealing their prey, genuinely hating them."

"In our hearts, we felt bitter; how could these two kids live better and earn more than us?"

"Until later, we were trapped by a pack of wolves, stuck in the trees. You know wolves, right? Once they eye their prey, they won’t let go till death."

"Ordinary people would probably run away! But Fengzi didn’t; he and Miss Shuangshuang saved us brothers."

"Even then, Ah Er and I still hated them, until we met again, and Miss Shuangshuang used her fists to conquer us brothers."

"From that moment, we decided to follow Miss Shuangshuang and Fengzi faithfully. Thinking back, we ourselves can’t believe we were subdued by a little girl after doing bad things for so long."

Recalling all those past experiences, Huang Da felt emotional yet grateful.

If they hadn’t met Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng back then, even if they escaped the wolves’ grasp with their lives, it would be no different from their past miserable existence.

They would forever be envious and jealous of what others had, standing in the sewage of life.

Hidden in the corner, Chen Sheng listened to Huang Da’s words, missing not a single one. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Right now, he felt a surge of emotions — bitterness, regret, reluctance...

"Chen Sheng, you’re a scholar and your conditions are better than ours. If we brothers can understand this, so can you.

I guess, like us in the past, you can’t accept being outdone by two kids, but you must know, your rivals are not Miss Shuangshuang and Fengzi.

Your goal should be to pass the exams, become a Champion Scholar, achieve fame. Perhaps you don’t necessarily want to be a good official and do something for the people.

However, regardless, I hope you use these experiences to empathize with others’ lives and sufferings."

"Trust me, as long as you’re willing, even from the depths of hell, you can climb out!"

After speaking, Chen Sheng put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and walked out of the woodshed.

Once outside, he let out a long breath.

When he looked up, he saw Mu Shuangshuang standing with arms crossed, a satisfied smile on her face.
