Chapter 336: Big Brother Failed the Exam?
Three days passed in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the college entrance examination results to be announced.
Early in the morning, Ping'an Town was in an uproar. There were more people gathered at the gate of Yucai Academy to watch the excitement than there were students.
Two days ago, someone leaked the news, and the whole street was talking about Yun Chengfu and Chen Chengcai saying that they had done well in the exam.
The two aunties who had been watching the excitement on the street also arrived early in the morning and squeezed in the crowd, waiting for the academy to open and Qi Mo to come out to post notices.
A moment later, there was a creaking sound and the door of Yucai Academy opened. Qi Mo walked out of the academy holding a long red list in his hand.
When everyone saw what was happening, they quickly dispersed to make way for him.
Qi Mo said, "Everyone, please be patient. Once I have posted the list, come and see it. Don't crowd or step on others!"
He quickly posted the list and left the crowd. The onlookers and students who came to see the list immediately swarmed over.
"Well, well?"
The aunt who had been watching the excitement on the street finally squeezed to the front, standing on tiptoe and stretching her neck to look at the list.
Her best friend did the same thing as her, stretching her neck and starting from the top of the list, looking down one by one.
But I only saw the name at the bottom: Wen Caichuan, and did not see the names of Yun Chengfu and Chen Chengcai.
"Hiss," the sister gasped, wondering, "something's wrong. Logically, the boy from the Yun family should be a good student. Even Mr. Qi praised him!"
"Oh, I don't know about that."
The aunt was upset because she didn't see Chen Chengcai's name, but when she saw that Yun Chengfu's name was not there either, she immediately felt relieved.
"Perhaps they use other names?" the sister continued. "Aren't they said that people who study have pen names or pseudonyms?"
"Let's wait and see." The aunt also said.
On the other side, the Yun family came to the town early in the morning on a ox cart.
Zhao Zhilan held Baoya in one hand and Yunhua and Yunyue in the other. Yun Chenglu and Yun Chengfu followed behind her. Wang Cailian and Yun Dalang had already rushed to the front like arrows and plunged into the crowd.
Although these two people could hardly read, they still recognized the names of Yun Chengfu and Yun Chenglu.
But in the end, their eyes almost popped out. They searched from top to bottom several times but did not see Yun Chengfu's name.
Wang Cailian immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
She held Yun Dalang's hand, her voice trembling: "Dalang, no...it's impossible."
"Our Chengfu is a good scholar! Mr. Qi always praises him...why, why isn't he famous?"
While she was muttering to herself, the three Baoya sisters and Zhao Zhilan finally squeezed to the front of the list.
Wang Cailian picked up Baoya and asked her to help her look at the list: "Baoya, my aunt doesn't know many words. Can you help me look? Where is your brother?"
"Okay." Baoya responded softly, and then she pointed at each name with her little finger and read it from top to bottom.
However, she read from the first to the last and did not see the name of her eldest brother.
There is no Yun Chengfu, and no Yun Jinzhi.
Baoya was also a little confused, with her little finger hanging in the air, her pair of dark eyes wide open, and she read it from beginning to end again, but still did not see her eldest brother's name!
When Wang Cailian saw her expression, she immediately understood.
Her face turned pale in an instant: "Impossible... This is impossible!"
After putting Baoya steadily on the ground, Wang Cailian felt dizzy. If Yun Dalang had not supported her, she would have fallen on her butt.
"Don't worry, auntie. I'll go ask Mr. Xiao Qi. There must be something wrong!" Baoya said.
"How could this be wrong?" Although Wang Cailian didn't believe it, after hearing Baoya say this, a little hope rose in her heart.
Baoya actually didn’t know whether she was really wrong.
But my eldest brother is such a good student, it is impossible that his name is not mentioned.
So she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon!"
After she finished speaking, she mixed in the crowd and headed towards the academy.
Yunhua, Yunyue and Yun Chenglu hurried to catch up.
"Baoya, wait for us, we're going too!"
On the contrary, Yun Chengfu himself looked calm and neither shocked nor panicked. I wonder if it was because he was too disappointed and couldn't accept it for a while.
Seeing him like this, Wang Cailian was afraid that he was too sad, so she quickly took his hand and comforted him:
"Chengfu, what's the big deal? Didn't you say that your classmate named Caichuan failed the exam several times? We can just take it again next year."
Yun Chengfu said calmly, "Wen Caichuan, you are the last one this time."
Wang Cailian: ...
"No, Mom... Mom means that you are so outstanding, you will definitely get first place in the exam next time."
Seeing her nervous look, Yun Chengfu took a deep breath, gently embraced Wang Cailian and said, "Mom, I'm fine."
"I think I answered well, so no matter what the result is, I will accept it."
"Yeah," Zhao Zhilan nodded as she listened to Yun Chengfu's words. "Chengfu is right. He has a good attitude."
Yun Dalang also laughed: "Exactly, a real man must be able to afford to lose!"
Baoya, Yunhua, Yunyue and Yun Chengfu finally squeezed out of the crowd and were about to run into the academy to ask Qi Mo when they ran into Zhou Cuihua.
However, only Zhou Cuihua was there, but Chen Chengcai was nowhere to be seen.
They were anxious to ask Qi Mo and didn't want to pay attention to her.
But Zhou Cuihua glared at them and blocked their way.
"Hey, where are you guys going?" Zhou Cuihua asked sarcastically.
Yunyue was not afraid of trouble and glared back at her: "It's none of your business!"
"Hey, you little bitch!" Zhou Cuihua put her hands on her hips and looked arrogant. "Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
"You dare!" Yun Chenglu shouted angrily.
His body was now much stronger than when he first came up the mountain. With a clenched fist and a roar, he actually managed to intimidate Zhou Cuihua.
Zhou Cuihua rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and sneered, "What are you bragging about? Yun Chengfu didn't pass the exam, did he? The news has spread!"
"You guys praised that kid so much back then, what happened? He still didn't pass the exam!"
"Even Chen Chengcai didn't pass the exam." Bao Ya looked at her steadily, emphasizing each word, "What are you so proud of?"
"I... Chengcai... Chengcai didn't perform well!" Zhou Cuihua turned her head away, "Just wait and see! Next time, Chengcai will definitely be first!"
"I think you're just a toad dreaming of eating Ganoderma lucidum—you're just daydreaming!"
Yunyue said crisply, then pulled Baoya and the others around Zhou Cuihua: "Baoya, Third Sister and Second Brother, let's go!"
"You little bastards! Stop right there!"
Zhou Cuihua immediately got angry and started chasing him while cursing.
But Baoya and the others ran into the academy in a flash, and Zhou Cuihua could only stand there and stare blankly.
