Chapter 100 Bai is anxious

When Zhang heard her husband say that he was going to kill chickens again, her heart skipped a beat. Ah, this—

Then I thought, I can’t let my beloved son suffer! They are eating such a good meal today, and if my beloved son can’t eat such a good meal, I will really feel guilty.

Kill the chicken!

Although the chicken was killed two days ago, it still needs to be killed today.

"Xu! Hurry up and boil some water and kill the chicken!"

Mrs. Xu thought she had misheard and hurried out of the room: "What? What did you say, mother?"

"Are you deaf? Boil some water and kill the chicken for me!"

"That wasn't two days ago—"

"Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

“Hey hey.”

Xu muttered and quickly turned around and left.

Kill it if you want, she can eat it anyway. It's not her chicken, so why should she feel sorry for it if her mother-in-law doesn't feel sorry for her?

"Sister-in-law, here I am!"

Bai suddenly came with a smile on her face.

Uncle Liang glanced at her and walked away.

"Sister-in-law," Bai pulled Zhang aside and talked to her, first chatting a little about the meal they had at Xu Zhichun's house today.

Just a few skillfully spoken words without showing any emotion were enough to make Zhang look angry, and her feelings of dissatisfaction towards Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan began to rise.

Zhang snorted coldly: "What's so great about it!"

"She's truly remarkable," Mrs. Bai smiled and sighed. "You've seen it, sister-in-law. Not to mention the great-grandmother, the great-grandfather, the other elders, the village head and his wife, who hasn't been completely subjugated by her? And then there's the headman's daughter-in-law and that Lin Zhu'er. I don't know what kind of magic potion she's put into them, but she's made them so rich, they seem to do whatever she says. Even funnier is that silly, powerful girl from Liang Dong's family. She just giggles when she sees people and follows her around all day. She helps her fetch water, chop wood, and feed the pigs, and dig konjac every day, just in exchange for having lunch at her house—and not a single person in Liang Dong's family has a bad word to say."

"Xu's life is so good!"

Zhang became even more annoyed and gnashed her teeth: "Humph!"

Good? Bullshit! No matter how good she is, she is just Liang Mingxuan's sister-in-law, not his mother.

Unlike me, I am lucky because I am the mother of a boy!

"Let her be proud. When Mingxuan grows up and gets married, he won't even remember her as his sister-in-law. Humph!"

Bai secretly cursed the idiot in his heart.

Wait until Mingxuan grows up? How long do we have to wait?

Mingxuan is only ten years old now!

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten? Didn't we say that we would let Mrs. Xu remarry? When Mingxuan grows up, what will she have to do with him? Sister-in-law, do you have a good impression of him?"

Mrs. Bai added another dose of rage, "Mingxuan is such a good student, he should be raised by our family. He'll have to acknowledge our kindness when he grows up, and it's right for our Liang family to enjoy this blessing. Why should Xu get the upper hand? If you don't hurry up, in another year or two, I'm afraid Xu won't want to let Mingxuan go, a filial son in the future, and won't want him to marry."

"Don't you find it annoying to look at her every day?"

Zhang's face looked very unhappy, and she was filled with disgust.

How could she not find Xu Zhichun an eyesore? She was practically disgusted with him!

It's all her fault for having such a foul mouth and bad luck.

If she hadn't always said some nonsense before, ruining the good luck and bringing bad luck, Mingxiang from their family would have definitely done better in the exam.

"My family has made some progress. Don't worry, I will definitely find a good family for her."

Mrs. Bai was satisfied, but not too satisfied. She continued, "She's marrying for the second time, so there's nothing to be picky about. As long as she's a good person, it's fine. I don't think it's a problem if she's a little older, a stepmother, or her family is ordinary. She's so capable, she'll naturally find her way around after she gets married. In this family, a man without a woman, or a woman without a man, won't work. Once they're a good match, life will slowly get better."

Zhang thought it made sense and nodded, "You're right."

Bai smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please keep an eye on me. I'm waiting for good news from you."

"become."

Uncle Liang had originally planned to set up two or three tables to invite Liang Lizheng and the village elders tomorrow, but after having such a good meal at Xu Zhichun's house today, he knew that the meal he cooked at home tomorrow would definitely not be as good as theirs.

The comparison between the front and back feet will definitely be extremely tragic, which is something he cannot accept.

Then we can only wait for a few days.

But for things like this, the sooner you celebrate, the better. The sooner the better. The later you delay, the more joyful it will be.

Uncle Liang became depressed again. If he had known this earlier, he would have done it first.

Then Xu doesn't know how to be humble.

Unexpectedly, two days later, County Magistrate Lu held a banquet in the county government office to entertain all the successful candidates, and also invited many local gentry and celebrities, as well as several outstanding scholars to join him.

The yamen runners went to the countryside in person and delivered invitations to each student.

Uncle Liang and his family were extremely happy. Although they could not read, they all took turns looking at the big red and gold-embossed invitation as if it were a treasure.

Liang Mingxiang was also happy. He just looked at the invitation and thought of Liang Mingxuan who also had one. And at the banquet, his third place would definitely attract more attention than his own, who was who knows how many places. Maybe the county magistrate would even greet him personally.

Liang Mingxiang's mood suddenly became bad again.

"We'll hire a bullock cart ourselves tomorrow. I don't want to go with them."

Zhang was stunned: "Ah? This——"

"Okay, let's go by ourselves and not get involved with them!"

Uncle Liang glared at Zhang and quickly agreed to his youngest son's request. He sent everyone else away and comforted him, saying, "Mingxiang, you are the best in your parents' eyes. Liang Mingxuan, I think, is just a little luckier. When it comes to hard work and solid knowledge, how can he compare to you?"

"What's that? It's still early. You'll definitely do better than him in the exams in the future."

Liang Mingxiang then felt a little better and nodded.

Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan were equally happy. Xu Zhichun quickly gave the two yamen runners two red envelopes of more than one penny of silver as a reward to thank them for their hard work.

The two men were very happy. When they got the red envelope, they pressed it lightly with their thumbs and realized that there was silver inside instead of copper coins. Their smiles deepened a little, and they kept saying congratulations and nice words without asking for money.

This was not the first time they had done something like congratulations. Talking about it with their colleagues in the yamen, they found that everyone's situation was pretty much the same. It was considered good if the country people were willing to give three or five copper coins as a reward, and it would be a pleasant surprise if they could give ten or eight coins.

To spend a penny like this, one must be from a small landlord family.

This young Master Liang did so well in the examination for the title of Tongsheng at such a young age. He is also well-mannered and good-looking. He will definitely have a bright future!

My family is doing well.

Oh, how enviable.

But his family is so generous, he deserves to be successful and have a bright future.
