The sister-in-law and brother looked and smiled bitterly to each other.

“What?” Sang Hong looked at them strangely before smiling, “Don’t worry. This is an extremely big good news. They’ll definitely be happy for us and not otherwise!” Surely they wouldn’t ridicule, and create trouble, for us.

“You, sit down!” Fang Shi forcefully pressed him on his seat and glared at him, “Use your head a little! Yufei is now a top escorted examinee. He can be considered an important figure in Yangliu Town, who knows how many would come to bootlick and gift him with gifts! Knowing Second Uncle and Aunt, what do you think they would do? Are you trying to corner your own brother to a cliff?!”

Sang Hong’s expression changed and an obvious amount of cold sweat formed on his back, “Maybe, maybe— they won’t…”

“Do you really think so? Hmph, they stick their nose in Sang Wan’s matters. What makes you think they wouldn’t do it to Yufei!” Fang Shi sneered.

Sang Hong’s heart sank and his hands turned cold. He knew his wife wasn’t wrong. With his second uncle and aunt’s personality, they would surely do so. What’s more, they were the seniors. As the younger generation, there was no way they could talk against them or they would be labeled “unfilial”. If Father and Mother were still around, that same principle could at least be used to suppress Second Uncle and Aunt since Father and Mother were older than them. However, Father and Mother are no longer around!

“Sister-in-law is right. I rushed home ahead of the group, who’ll be here to announce the good news, because of this as well.” Sang Yufei let out a gentle sigh, “It’s not that I wish to leave them out, but their actions cannot call for any respect from others!”

Fang Shi cast a glance at Sang Yufei and she thought to herself: The top escorted examinee indeed speaks with a certain standard! Those two’s actions had never called for our respect. How I wish we could expose their actions out to the public!

“But the group will be here in a day or two, there’s no way you can hide it from them for long ah!” Sang Hong frowned. For the sake of his own brother’s reputation, he would put aside his feelings, and even his uncle and aunt too.

“I’ve an idea that I’d like to try. At least, that’ll be able to keep their mouths shut…” Sang Yufei said, before revealing his plan to his brother and sister-in-law.

Sang Hong remained hesitant after listening from Sang Yufei, but Fang Shi covered her mouth and praised with a laugh, “I think that’s not too bad, let’s go ahead with it! Let’s make them utterly speechless!” Then again, she sighed, “They know no shame…I’m just afraid that after we go ahead with the plan, they might shameless insist on making up to us!”

“We’ll just go with the flow!” Sang Yufei sighed.

Two outrageous seniors were enough to push the climbing him all the way to the edge of a cliff.

After the decision was made, Sang Yufei went to change into his old washed out clothes before heading to Sang Pingliang’s house and knocking on his door.

Li Shi peered through the door viewer and shouted deliberately, “Who’s this?”

“Second Aunt, it’s me!” With a smile, Sang Yufei raised his voice in reply.

After a long while, the door finally squeaked open. Li Shi stood cross-legged by the door with a hand supporting on her hip and the other on the side of the doorframe. Taking a quick glimpse at Sang Yufei, she said, seemingly smiling, “Oh, our Xiao Fei is back! How did it go ah? Huangzhou’s a bustling place, did you have fun there?”

“Not too bad!” Sang Yufei smiled sincerely before adding, “Second Aunt, my house has no more noodles so my sister-in-law asked me to come over and borrow some flour.”

Would Li Shi obediently lend things to others? Her expression immediately changed and she sneered, “Where would our house have flour? We don’t have that!” Then, she added half-mockingly, “Hmph, isn’t your sister-in-law being too ruthless? Just look, she didn’t cook a bowl of noodles for you even though you may not have passed this time. Worst, she even asked a ‘scholar’ like you to obtain some flour. Ai, isn’t that so humiliating? Your sister-in-law sure is petty! This is but your first township examinations, you’re still young—there’ll still be a chance for you in the future!”

“Second Aunt, Big Brother’s house really doesn’t have any flour left. Sister-in-law said she saw you bought some flour from town. So will you lend us some? It’s not like we won’t return the flour to you!” Sang Yufei was getting a little impatient and his words came out somewhat impolite.

“What’s with that tone! Who do you think you’re speaking to! What? I won’t lend, okay? Do you think I’d let you rob us in the day?” Li Shi raised her voice sharply.

Inside the house, Sang Pingling was also present and he listened to the conversation that was outside his house. His face furrowed with anger as he strode out to scold Sang Yufei, “You useless lad! I applaud you for daring to speak that way to your aunt! So you think you can come to our house and vent your frustrations for not passing the examinations? Why don’t you just look at yourself, do you think you can ever dream of passing? Instead of wasting money needlessly, why can’t you just be more rational and go work in the fields!”

It was the hour when all men and women had returned home to have lunch and rest, and had not yet left to resume with their jobs. Although there wasn’t a lot of entertainment in the village, the curiosity within the villagers still remained. With Sang Pingliang and Li Shi shouting in the middle of the day, it attracted all sorts of folks to watch the scene and a large group soon formed.

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

The crowd watched as Sang Yufei helplessly withstood all the criticisms hurled at him from Sang Pingliang and began discussing among themselves while sympathizing with Sang Yufei secretly.

An older folk could not stand to watch any longer and he tried to persuade Sang Pingliang, “Brother Sang, that boy’s your nephew, can’t you just speak nicely to him? Is there a need to get this angry?”
