Chapter 436 Medicine
Before he could finish his words, Song Chongjin knelt down in front of Shopkeeper Zhang without any expression and earnestly kowtowed nine times, thoroughly severing the slight bond of teacher and student that existed between them.
Shopkeeper Zhang’s remaining words got stuck in his throat. He pointed at Song Chongjin, unable to speak, simply gasping for breath.
Hunter Qin’s mouth twitched as he looked at Shopkeeper Zhang’s face, which had turned a shade of purplish-blue, not knowing what to say.
Of course, he knew Shopkeeper Zhang’s temper was like this, extremely proud and pretentious, always liking to pose. The words he had just spoken were actually meant to force Song Chongjin to admit his mistakes and to guarantee on the spot that he would, from now on, do this and that, and restore the patriarchal order and such.
Normally, being reprimanded by one’s teacher in such a way, most would have already knelt down, crying and admitting their wrongdoings, promising to turn over a new leaf and henceforth obey their teacher’s words. They would also assert that women were of no account; the future was what mattered most—a great man need not worry about lacking a wife, and so on.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Song Chongjin who did not follow conventional wisdom. No sooner had he said he wanted to sever the teacher-student relationship, the man had knelt down to kowtow and return the favor, settling the matter then and there.
Severing ties had become a must.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Zhang not passing out from anger was already a sign of good self-restraint.
After finishing his kowtows and standing up, Song Chongjin had a large blue bruise on his forehead. Wang Yongzhu hurriedly handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe it.
