Chapter 475 Tang Xiucai definitely didn't pass.
The Liang mother and son moved to Shangshi Village, full of energy.
When we reached the village entrance, we saw five or six women sitting under a big tree, chatting while doing needlework.
Liang raised an eyebrow. "A good opportunity."
She immediately grabbed her son's hand and hurried over, asking with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"
Everyone was quite startled when they saw Liang.
But Liang sat down right next to them and slammed the basket on her back onto the ground in front of her.
Seeing that the group subconsciously looked down at the basket on their backs, she immediately said, "Oh, you mean these vegetables? My parents, brother, and sister-in-law specially picked them for me."
No, they weren't referring to the food.
Liang chuckled, "As you all know, we live in the city now, and even a single scallion costs money. My parents couldn't bear it, so when I finally went back home, they immediately picked so many vegetables for me to take back to the county town. But I'm also a filial child, so I cut them a big piece of meat."
Everyone, "..."
Liang continued, "My parents always praise me, saying it's rare for a married daughter to be so generous, cutting off such a... big piece of meat to take home. They even scolded me for wasting money. But what can I do? Our Sanzhu is successful and has a stable job. I'm also hardworking, doing some embroidery to supplement the family income. Life is better now, so it's only right to send some meat to my parents, right?"
Everyone was speechless. Damn it, they wanted to leave.
The group exchanged glances, and one of them immediately got up to find an excuse to go home.
Before Liang could even start bragging about her son, she immediately stopped and changed the subject, "By the way, what were you talking about just now? I haven't been back to the village for a long time, and I don't know what's been happening there. Tell me about it."
The gossip spirit of Shangshi Village was as strong as ever. Although several women present did not like Liang, they still talked to her with great interest.
"We're talking about the Tang family."
"The Tang family? What happened to the Tang family?"
"Didn't Tang Xiu go to the prefectural city to take the provincial examination last month? Well, she came back yesterday."
Madam Liang became even more interested. The provincial examination—she didn't know anything about that part. But now that her son was attending a private school, he would also have to take the provincial examination in the future, so she needed to find out in advance.
Seeing her interest, the women immediately started talking all at once.
"I heard that the provincial examination just ended a few days ago, and the results won't be released until September, which is about ten days away. Logically speaking, the candidates and their families should want to know whether they passed or not as soon as possible, right? We all thought that Tang Xiucai and the others would not be back for at least another ten days, but who knew they would be home yesterday."
"When the village chief heard about it, he went to ask Tang Xiucai about the situation early this morning, asking how he did on the exam and why he was back at this time. I went with him to see him. Tang Xiucai said a lot of things, but I couldn't understand them at all. However, I did understand one thing: Tang Xiucai himself was not sure if he did well on the exam and said he would only know after the results were released."
"If you thought you did well on the exam, you would definitely be waiting in the prefectural city. Why did you suddenly run back?"
"I think either he did terribly on the exam. Think about it, at Tang Xiucai's age, the provincial examination is so difficult, it would be strange if he passed. Or, something must have happened to him in the prefectural city."
"I just can't stand that woman from the Tang family's attitude. When I ask her questions, she just ignores me."
