"Mister, someone is eavesdropping!"
"It's that Cowherd again!"
"So it's Jiang Wang!"
The schoolchildren started to gossip, wishing for more chaos.
"Silence!" Fang Yuan hit his ruler. The naughty children shuddered and no longer dared to speak nor move.
He stroked his beard and walked out the door.
A child in hemp clothes was seen on the floor. Evidently, he had been scared and fell off the window.
Fang Yuan knew this child as well. His name was Jiang Wang, and his impoverished family lived in a small house. Both of his parents worked for the rich in town, relying on temporary jobs for their livelihoods.
He had started to help his parents with their work or herd cattle and goats for others since he was six years old. Therefore, he had the nickname Cowherd.
He was in a completely different social stratum from the children in the classroom.
