Recap
He couldn’t hear Wen Yichu’s voice, but he could guess the other party’s general thoughts.
Wen Yichu: Knowledge is power. If they don’t seize every minute to acquire knowledge, how can they participate in the imperial examinations, how can they plead for the people, and how can they defeat the landlord class?
Rong Yu: I play Landlord with them. As long as any of them finish playing cards before me, they can defeat me.
Wen Yichu:…
Blood Jade Bracelet: Big Devil, please stop talking. The Son of Luck is going to be angry again!

Rong Yu did not build teacher-student friendship with the children in teaching and learning but established a card-playing friendship in the fun of Landlord. He looked at the skinny little carrot heads and frowned secretly. Birds of a feather flock together. How could his playmates look like refugees?
He was born to enjoy life, and he would not let his own people suffer, so he invited them to have dinner in his house, vowing to raise these little radishes into big, white, and plump radishes that would be pleasing to the eye.
Of course, Rong Yu would not make dinner by himself. Rong Yu did not do any housework, and it was all Yan Zhao’s effort.
When the food was served, the children’s eyes lit up again, and their saliva flowed all over the floor. They were all children from poor families, and 90% of the harvest from the land was taken away by the landlord. It was not easy to feed the family with the remaining surplus grain. Throughout the year, they could only eat a few pieces of meat during festivals.
They had never seen this table of fish and meat before. As soon as Rong Yu was allowed to start eating, everyone gobbled it up, and they wished they could grab it with their hands.
At the same time, the Hu family had no place to eat dinner today. They could not leave Yuexi Town, and the other three families avoided them. It was really a pity that they could not get any help from heaven or earth.
In the past, the rich enjoyed wine and meat, while the poor died on the streets. Inside and outside the wall were two different worlds, and that wall was called class.
Now, on one side, the four major families were in gloom, and on the other side, the Wen Dao Academy was full of laughter. The Hu family was homeless and starving, while the children gathered at a table to eat and drink.
Inside and outside the wall were two different worlds, and that wall was called Rong Yu.

No matter how much a group of children could eat, they could not finish the dinner because it was too rich. Xiaohu was full, held up two chicken legs, and said shyly, “Brother Wen, can I take the chicken legs back? I want to share them with my parents.”
Rong Yu said indifferently, “Whatever, otherwise it would be a waste.” Anyway, he would never eat leftovers.
The children got the promise and immediately happily packed up the leftovers to take back to their families. Their families, like them, rarely had the opportunity to eat meat.
The little girl was slow and was the last one to run out. She turned back and waved at him: “Thank you, Brother Wen; the food Brother Wen cooked is really delicious!”
Rong Yu pulled his lip, and when the little girl disappeared from his sight, he was the only one left in the huge room. He said to the empty plates on the table, as if to the air, “This meal is indeed better than before.”
The next second, Yan Zhao showed up.
“Do you think it’s delicious too?” Yan Zhao asked the most concerned question, with expectation in his eyes.
He didn’t care what others said about him. If Rong Yu praised him, he would be very happy.
Rong Yu was used to delicious delicacies, so he could only say, “It’s average.”
But it was a little different from the previous meals. For mortals, this meal tasted very good. But Rong Yu’s tongue was picky. He was a demon who had tasted exotic flowers, rare plants, and rare animals. Even if mortal ingredients were turned out, it would be difficult to hook him.
Yan Zhao’s eyes dimmed, but he quickly cheered up again: “Then I will work hard to improve.”
“You?” Rong Yu immediately looked at him and asked, “Isn’t this meal offered by the little ghost?”
Yan Zhao: “No.”
He said embarrassedly, “I made it myself.”
The kitchen was stocked with abundant rice, grains, fish, meat, and all kinds of ingredients. Yan Zhao wanted Rong Rong to taste the dishes he made, so he made a table of delicious and fragrant dishes.
Yan Zhao didn’t know the cooking steps, but he turned invisible and floated to another place to see how ordinary people were busy, and then he learned it, and he did it very well.
Rong Yu’s voice rose: “You made it?!”
Yan Zhao was almost scared by the sudden rise of the voice: “Yes, yes.”
Rong Yu was so angry that he almost flipped the table. “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
It was also the first time he tasted Yan Zhao’s cooking skills.
Gu Minghuai was a mysophobe and refused to enter the kitchen. He basically relied on nannies and takeout to make a living. Fu Qianzhi is the warden. The ingredients are delivered by airship every day, and the chef cooks personally. Yan Zhao is the ghost king, and he used to take the offerings from the little ghosts. Not to mention the earlier sun; it was too long ago, and they had no concept of satisfying their appetite at that time.
This is the first time Yan Zhao cooked by himself.
Yan Zhao felt his anger and said disappointedly, “You don’t like it? Then I won’t cook it in the future.”
“If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t let them take the leftovers away.” Rong Yu glared at him fiercely and said, “No, I won’t let them eat this meal at all.”
The first meal made by Sun should be enjoyed by him alone; how could he share it with these little idiots? Even he ate it for the first time!
Rong Yu felt more and more upset and said angrily, “You can only cook for me in the future.”
Yan Zhao looked at him in confusion.
“What are you looking at me for? Did you hear me? You are not allowed to cook for others.” The possessiveness of the big devil was very strong, and now he felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Yan Zhao chuckled. “Rong Rong, didn’t you say… the food I cook is average?”
Rong Yu said bluntly, “It is not average.”
Yan Zhao was overjoyed.
It was decided that he would be Rong Rong’s exclusive chef in the future!

“Dad, Mom! I brought you delicious food!” Xiaohu opened the door excitedly and ran into the house, but was stunned when he saw the scene in the house.
A group of people squeezed into the small house, which seemed even more cramped. Mr. Hu, Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu occupied their tables, and there were several servants behind them. There were several small dishes on the table.
Although it was not rich, Xiaohu could see that it was the most impressive thing in their family. There were also delicate white steamed buns, which his parents usually couldn’t bear to eat.
This group of uninvited guests occupied their home and sat down to eat and drink, but his parents stood aside, feeling uneasy.
Xiaohu pursed his lips and hid the chicken leg deeper in his arms.
The Hu family was desperate and suddenly remembered that they could stay at the poor home in Yuexi Town. After all, they had been landlords for several generations, and the poor here had long been submissive to them and obeyed their orders; the fields on which these people depended for survival were all theirs.
Although the land deeds were now taken away by Wen Yichu, these people didn’t know it yet. Mr. Hu immediately knocked on the door of Xiaohu’s house with great fanfare, coming in aggressively and eating and drinking. Xiaohu’s parents didn’t dare to offend the landlord and hurriedly took out the best food to entertain them. But even the best was pig food in the eyes of the Hu family, who were picky and furious and scolded Xiaohu’s parents so much that they were terrified and trembling.
Xiaohu came back at this critical moment.
Mr. Hu had just lost his temper. He was very dissatisfied with the simple food on the table, and he was always looking for trouble. Then he saw Xiaohu coming back, saying that he had brought back something delicious.
“What delicious food?” Mr. Hu asked, “What is hidden in your arms? Take it out and have a look.”
Xiaohu took a step back.
Two tall and strong servants came over fiercely, one holding his arm and the other searching his body, and soon found two chicken legs.
“Give it back to me!” Xiaohu roared, “I left it for my parents!”
“Oh.” Mr. Hu tore off a large piece of chicken leg meat and sneered at Xiaohu’s parents. “Didn’t you two old guys say that you had already taken out the best things to entertain us? You actually kept it for yourself.”
Xiaohu’s father hurriedly said, “Mr. Hu, we really don’t have anything left.”
“Nothing left? Then where did this chicken leg come from?” Mr. Hu snorted coldly, clearly not believing it.
Xiaohu’s eyes were red. “Brother Wen gave it to me!”
Landlord Hu: “Ugh——”
He immediately vomited violently.
Who? Wen Yichu?
Can the things given by the ghost be eaten? It looks like a chicken leg, but in fact, he don’t know what kind of ashes it is!
Landlord Hu’s fear of Wen Yichu is so deep that he loses his appetite instantly when he hears his name.
“You little bastard, your parents hid good things, and you use Wen Yichu to pressure me.” Mr. Hu sneered, “You are a piece of sh*t in the whole family.”
“You are a piece of shit!” In the past, Xiaohu would not dare to yell at Mr. Hu like this, but today he played Landlord all day and was not afraid of the landlord at all, so he immediately retorted, “What good things can we hide in our house? Ninety percent of the food has been looted by you! You think this meal is shabby, but it is still a rich meal that we can’t eat!”
“You, you——” Mr. Hu couldn’t say anything to the sharp-tongued child, so he ordered the servants, “Drive them all out!”
_
Xiaohu’s family of three was driven out of their home. Their house was small, and it was occupied by the Hu family, so they became homeless.
Xiaohu’s parents cried and didn’t know what to do in the future. Xiaohu’s mother cried, “Xiaohu, how can you say that about Mr. Hu? You’ve offended him; how are we going to live in the town in the future?”
“Dad, Mom, don’t be afraid; landlords can be defeated!” Xiaohu said confidently, “I defeated them many times today!” Of course, he didn’t beat Brother Wen, but he beat the other two friends. Brother Wen didn’t lose all day today.
Xiaohu’s parents: “…” Did their son lose his mind today?
“It doesn’t matter; I’ll take you to find Brother Wen.” Xiaohu said, “Brother Wen will take us in!”
He has seen it all today. The Hu family’s house is so big that it can accommodate dozens of people. The Hu family occupied their house, so they went to live with the Hu family! No, they lived at Wen Dao Academy! Now, Brother Wen is the owner of that place.
“What, Brother Wen?” Xiaohu’s mother felt something was wrong again. “Didn’t I tell you to stay at home today? Did you go to see Mr. Wen again?”
After realizing that Wen Yichu might crawl out of the coffin to seek revenge and that the Hu family was haunted, Xiaohu’s mother also became afraid. Although they did not harm Mr. Wen, they were also silent members who watched him die without helping him. They were afraid that their son would also be retaliated against, so they did not allow him to go to the academy.
But now that it is the spring plowing season, she and the child’s father have to work in the fields during the day, so they can’t control where their son’s feet run.
“Yes, Brother Wen is very good to us. Our academy has become Mr. Hu’s mansion! I also ate a lot of delicious meals today.” Xiaohu said it excitedly.
The fear in Xiaohu’s mother’s eyes deepened: “No, we can’t go. Xiaohu, listen, Mr. Wen has become a ghost now; he will kill us!”
“Mom, are you kidding? Mr. Wen is obviously a human!” Xiaohu defended Mr. Wen: “Even if he is a ghost, he is better than people like Mr. Hu!”
Xiaohu’s parents were speechless. Yes, Mr. Hu’s family was more terrifying than evil ghosts in their eyes. If they didn’t listen to Xiaohu, they would have nowhere to go now.
They owed Mr. Wen an apology. Mr. Wen treated the villagers very well on weekdays, but when something happened, none of them could help.
That night, Xiaohu returned home from school with his parents. Xiaohu knocked on the door and shouted, “Brother Wen! Are you there? I’m Xiaohu!”
Rong Yu opened the door himself. He was dressed in a seductive red dress with loose black hair, cold white skin, and a ghost-like appearance.
Xiaohu’s parents made a lot of psychological preparations along the way, but when they saw Mr. Wen, whose temperament had changed drastically, and realized that the man in front of them might not really be a human, they reflexively wanted to escape.
Rong Yu casually said, “Come in. Choose a room for yourself.”
Then he went back to the house and ignored them.
It seemed that they had expected their arrival.
It was not uncommon for the Hu family to rob private houses when they were desperate. Now there is a group of servants following them as thugs. When they find that they can’t pay their wages, they will be truly isolated and helpless.
Xiaohu’s parents: “…”
That’s it?
Xiaohu didn’t understand his parents’ taboos and ran into the house happily: “Dad, Mom, come in quickly; tell them that Brother Wen is a good person!”
Inside the house.
Yan Zhao asked, “Why don’t you let some little ghosts scare them?”
Referring to Xiaohu’s parents.
The child is not guilty if he doesn’t know. But this couple, as well as many people in Yuexi Town, were witnesses who watched Wen Yichu being killed that day. Watching with cold eyes is another kind of harm.
Yan Zhao didn’t like them anyway.
Rong Yu glanced at him and asked, “Are you childish?”
Yan Zhao told the truth: “You are not generous either.”
“I am not generous, but there are people who are.” Rong Yu lay on the couch and conveyed Wen Yichu’s meaning:
“I don’t hate them; I want to save them.”
