Angrily, he added some water, seemingly overdoing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my lifetime, I’ve only encountered one person as unappreciative as you. With the scholarship of the Zhang Family, countless people wish to associate with me. Ha, I give face to no one, only valuing true talent and learning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when the ink reached the desired consistency, Zhang Chancellor’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, and he said, \"Think carefully, decide whether you want to be a beggar or follow me. Being my protégé, I can let you participate in this year’s examinations. You’ve studied for years, consider if you wish to waste it to become a beggar. How would that be worthy of Confucius?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the last sentence struck a chord with Gu Shuisheng; studying is also a form of faith. Students pay respects to Confucius on their first day of school. Having accumulated a lifetime of knowledge, how could one willingly accept that it’s useless, spending a lifetime despised as a beggar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chancellor occasionally glanced at him, only when seeing Gu Shuisheng’s expression finally show some movement did he slowly say, \"Don’t worry, I understand that someone like you isn’t willing to return to the past. No matter how good your former home, you’d rather spend a lifetime as a beggar with someone like Gu Wu. How others treat you is their business, but how you treat yourself is yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chancellor sighed deeply, sat down, and picked up his writing brush to write furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you treat yourself poorly, you’re letting yourself down. A lifetime is but a few decades, not for others to see, but to make the most of your time on earth. To do oneself harm only pains those close and pleases enemies. Shuisheng, I don’t care who you were or whom you once served. If you’re willing to give yourself a chance at life, I’ll submit your name. Gu Shuisheng, whether you earn a reputation is for you to seize; it has nothing to do with your past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Shuisheng was swayed by Zhang Chancellor’s words, but having been disheartened for so many years, even momentous matters hardly showed on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chancellor glanced at him indifferently, snorted, and said, \"Your expression suffices. You’re such a person, I don’t expect you to respond. Fine, you may leave. Tomorrow, I’ll send someone to report your name. But remember, I only help those with genuine talent. Whether you succeed or not is up to you; I won’t assist further!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Shuisheng lightly nodded with pursed lips and then strode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the young man’s departing figure, Zhang Chancellor, deep in thought, gently squinted his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he murmured, \"The person is fine, just too stubborn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the outskirts of Beijing, a luxurious carriage was slowly approaching the city gate. Outside the carriage was a group of robustly dressed individuals in black. Seeing the carriage had entered the outskirts’ safe area, they withdrew from around it and soon vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a driver in a straw raincoat called loudly into the carriage, \"Madam, Beijing is just ahead. Shall we go directly to Doctor Gu or to your former residence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Former residence? What former residence does she have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam smiled bitterly and said, \"Let’s go to Doctor Gu first; then find an inn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",572,"2026-06-06T06:55:13.777Z",1,"novelbin.me","cdb1856fc41866288f2074cfe244f883d906d24d0b62c307f8721bb9a270b0cb","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1577","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1575",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
