Chapter 112: Changing Things Back (1/2)

Wait a moment! As expected of his wife, she understood Sang Pingliang the best and finally came back to her senses. “Mister, just what happened?”

“Hmph! It’s all your fault!” Sang Pingliang grunted coldly and dragged her into the room before shutting the door behind them. With a gloomy expression, he said coldly, “Wasn’t it just a kilogram of flour? Couldn’t you’ve just lent it to Yufei since he asked for it? He is the son of my elder brother, my nephew, and you refused to lend a kilogram of flour to him! Is there anyone as stingy as you?! If you had just refused and closed the door then, it would’ve been fine, but no, you just had to rebuke him! He’s my nephew and also yours, is this any way to act as an elder?! You useless wife! Your conscience must have been eaten by a dog!”

“Mister!” Li Shi raised her hand to touch his forehead, “Have you been possessed? Why are you saying something so strange? Why should we lend our things to them? Sure, they’ll be borrowing, but can they return what they borrowed? Furthermore, that is all in the past now! We have nothing to do with them anymore! Forget about him, he can keep on dreaming about being our nephew!”

Li Shi pouted. Don’t just nag at me, you were the most enthusiastic when scolding them yesterday!

“Silence!” Li Shi’s words stabbed right into Sang Pingliang’s sore spot, causing him to roar angrily, “What do you mean nothing to do with them anymore! Who said that! Sure we’ve had some conflicts but can the blood relation between us be something that will disappear with just some words? I’m telling you, and you’d better listen closely, I, Sang Pingliang will always be his uncle, even if he doesn’t want to recognize me, there’s nothing he can do about it!

“You’ve changed so much just from a simple trip to town! It seems like I might have to ask Priestess Huang to make a trip here!” Li Shi widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Sang Pingliang.

“I’m fine! I’m fine! Calm down, I’m fine, I’m completely fine!” Sang Pingliang finally calmed down and sighed reluctantly, “Thank goodness I took a trip to town today. Otherwise, we’d be in for a huge loss!”

Thereafter, he told Li Shi everything about what he had seen and heard in town.

“What!” Li Shi cried out involuntarily, “He came in first and received the title of Top Escorted Examinee?!”

“Lower your voice!” Sang Pingliang glared at her hatefully and lowered his own, “For now, no one in the village knows about this yet! Listen to me, go to their house immediately and right yesterday’s wrongs.”

“That brat, Sang Yufei, managed to be the top escorted examinee? Mister, are you sure you haven’t gotten it wrong?” Li Shi’s heart felt extremely uncomfortable. Just how did he manage to get the title? Was he just that lucky?

“How could I be wrong?” Sang Pingliang continued, “I, Sang Pingliang of Sihe Village, heard it clearly in Yangliu Town and asked many bystanders. How could I be wrong!”

“Maybe… maybe the announcer announced it wrongly!” Li Shi was starting to feel sour.

“Can’t you say something more positive!” Sang Pingliang poked her forehead with a finger, “Our Sang family is finally going to prosper, so why are you so unhappy about it?”

“Mister, we just broke off ties with them yesterday, so what does them prospering have to do with us!” Li Shi pouted.

“You still dare to say that!” Sang Pingliang shouted angrily, “Yesterday’s problem was all your fault! I don’t care how you do it but change things back! What, don’t you want to be the aunt of a top escorted examinee?”

Li Shi’s eyes lit up and she unconsciously smiled, saying happily, “Oh yes, oh yes! How could I have forgotten! We are their elders after all! Keke, Mister, we just hit a jackpot!”

“En! Keke, that kid, Yufei, has always been smart from young. Just like I’ve said, he would definitely do well!” Sang Pingliang liked what he heard and said with a smile while stroking his short beard.

“I’ll go right away!”Li Shi was on cloud nine and was about to leave the house.

“Stop right there!” Sang Pingliang glanced at her and frowned, “Change your clothes and comb your hair before you go. Also, never utter a word about the good news, not a word of it, understand me?”

“Yes, yes!” Li Shi replied while opening the wardrobe to pick a set of clothes, “If they knew about it and not let bygones be bygones, that would be really terrible for us! I have at least this much sense!”

“Hmph, at least you aren’t completely senseless!” Sang Pingliang laid down on the bed, with his hands crossed behind his head and his legs crossed, as he began to dream of making fortunes.

Li Shi changed into a new set of clothing and combed her hair before leaving for Sang Hong’s house. She knocked on the courtyard gate while cheerfully calling out, “Xiao Fei, Ah Hong, are you home?”

Shortly after, Fang Shi walked out. Holding the door with one hand to block Li Shi,she said in a polite and detached tone, “Oh, isn’t this Auntie Sang? Is there something you need?”

“What Auntie Sang ah,” Li Shi smiled, “Have you forgotten that I’m your Second Aunt! I’m here to find Xiao Fei and Ah Hong; are they at home?”

“If there’s anything, you can just tell me!” Fang Shi blocked her and did not let her pass.

“What are you doing not letting me in!” Li Shi raged.

Fang Shi smiled, “Auntie Sang, this is my home, not yours. I don’t wish to entertain a great deity such as yourself, so I can’t let you in! Furthermore, Ah Hong and Yufei aren’t home!”

“Not at home?” Li Shi paused before recalling that Sang Hong must be teaching in the village school. However, Sang Hong was not the important character, thus she asked, “Then where did Xiao Fei go?”

“He went to work in the fields!” Fang Shi said briefly.

“Aiyo, you guys ah! How could you let him work in the fields!” Li Shi’s heart ached and her knees turned weak.
