Chapter 576 - 572: Yun Hao Sets a Trap for Chen JianShe
Deep down, Yun Hao wished Xu Wenwan would drop dead, but he didn’t dare let it show on his face. Still, the hatred in his eyes was impossible to conceal, so he could only lower his head to keep Xu Wenwan from seeing.
Xu Wenwan didn’t care.
The Power Pill the system gave her was as big as a Hawthorn Pill. She didn’t know its potency, so she had split the pill into four pieces. When she fought Yun Hao earlier, she had only eaten a quarter of it, and that was enough to beat him into submission.
She still had three-quarters of it left, so she wasn’t the least bit afraid of what Yun Hao might do to her.
Outside the courtyard, everyone watched as Xu Wenwan pointed a finger in Yun Hao’s face and called him useless, while Yun Hao didn’t even dare to argue back. The scene left them completely dumbfounded.
’This Xu Wenwan is really something!’
’She used to be the one screaming her head off whenever Yun Hao beat her, but now she dares to get in his face and chew him out. What in the world happened?’
The crowd fixed their gossipy stares on the two of them, dying of curiosity.
Xu Wenwan rolled her eyes at the crowd, then went into the room.
’A bunch of old hags. All they do all day is gawk at the drama. Sooner or later, they’ll gawk themselves to death.’
Yun Hao silently started cooking, looking for all the world like a sullen, wronged bride.
The crowd was left speechless. ’How pathetic.’
Just as a few of the old women were gossiping, Chen JianShe finally sauntered over.
He walked up to Yun Hao’s gate, glanced at the person tending the fire in the courtyard, and sneered, "Yun Hao, weren’t you going to compete with my Brother Leng in academics? In the end, you couldn’t even pass the teacher’s exam. Now you see the gap between you and my Brother Leng, huh!"
Chen JianShe wasn’t an overly aggressive person; he just wanted to make Yun Hao recognize his own status and stop bothering his sister-in-law in the future.
Yun Hao looked up at the arrogant Chen JianShe outside, his expression growing even gloomier.
’Since when did a mere lackey of Leng Yuan’s dare to mock him like this?’
His eyes flickered. The reason he hadn’t passed the teacher’s exam this time was because the spot had already been decided internally.
He had only found this out after asking a friend of his father’s. He had originally planned to cause a fuss, but the other party told him bluntly that he couldn’t afford to offend them.
’Probably no one else knows about this yet.’
’In that case, why not let Chen JianShe make a fool of himself?’
Yun Hao tossed aside the fire poker, walked out of the kitchen, and stood opposite Chen JianShe, raising his voice.
"It’s true I didn’t get the teacher position. But Leng Yuan didn’t become a teacher because he’s capable—it was just good luck. If we were both under the same circumstances, there’s no way I would have lost to him."
Chen JianShe was startled by Yun Hao’s suddenly raised voice and cursed instinctively, "Are you crazy?!"
"You scared me, suddenly shouting like that."
"And what do you mean by that? What do you mean my Brother Leng isn’t capable? Explain yourself!"
If Yun Hao had said he himself was incapable, Chen JianShe wouldn’t have gotten angry. But insulting his Brother Leng was unacceptable.
Yun Hao saw that this brainless oaf Chen JianShe had taken the bait and spoke bluntly, "Since you have so much faith in your Brother Leng, then make a bet with me. I’ll bet that not a single person in the entire Qingshan Team can pass the commune’s teacher exam."
"If it was because I wasn’t good enough, then surely someone else would have passed, right?"
’Huh, I guess that makes sense.’
But Chen JianShe still felt that something was off. He just couldn’t put his finger on it right away.
Seeing Chen JianShe remain silent, Yun Hao continued, "What’s wrong? Scared to bet now? The truth is, you also think Leng Yuan’s ability is just average, but you don’t want to admit it, right? It’s no big deal, really. Is it that hard to admit someone isn’t actually that exceptional?"
Chen JianShe: "..."
’What the hell is this guy talking about? How could his Brother Leng not be exceptional?’
"Fine, I’ll take that bet!"
