"It's impossible. How could I fail the exam? I have already finished the test paper. How could I fail? It's impossible. You lied to me." Hong Shiyu looked a little strange. He kept shouting these words. Suddenly, he turned around and ran out.
Everyone was startled by his sudden action.
But when they saw him leave, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How could Niu Dasheng's family get such a son-in-law? It's a misfortune for the family." The second grandfather said while shaking his head.
"We two old men have come to this point. You young people should do your own things. We two old men just came here to join in the fun. Now that the fun is over, it's time for us to go back." After saying this, the second grandfather called his younger brother who had been following him. With the help of the villagers, the two brothers left the place with the help of crutches.
After seeing off the two grandfathers, Niu Jianguo discussed the wedding banquet with Xu Shike.
"Village chief, how about this? Let's set up six tables. My husband and I will provide all the ingredients, and the villagers can just come over for a meal." He suggested.
When the villagers who were listening nearby heard his bold words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The meal expenses for five tables were covered directly by them!
At this time, everyone thought that people who can read are amazing.
Niu Jianguo was a little hesitant.
While he was silent, stroking his chin, Jiang Shanshan spoke up, "Village Chief, just listen to Xu Shike. This time, the banquet is paid for by my husband and me. It's our business, so how can we let the village pay for it?"
Niu Jianguo looked at the young couple and saw the sincerity in their eyes. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll listen to you two. How about this, you pay the money, and we do the labor, and let the villagers do the cooking."
After hearing his proposal, the young couple looked at each other and felt that this was the best solution for them.
"Okay, then let's do as you say, Village Chief." Jiang Shanshan said with a smile.
After discussing the matter, the young couple led the excited Niu family away.
When they returned to the Niu family, Niu Dadan and Yu Guifang both felt that this matter did not seem true.
Originally, the couple had accepted the fact that their son and daughter-in-law did not pass the exam. But now someone told them that their son and daughter-in-law not only passed the exam, but also ranked first and second in the country.
"There is really smoke coming out of our ancestral grave this time. Our ancestors must have blessed our family." Niu Dadan said happily while holding Yu Guifang's hand.
"It must be like this, otherwise how could our third son and his wife do so well in the exam? I am so grateful for the blessings of our ancestors." Yu Guifang kowtowed several times towards the door excitedly.
Jiang Shanshan and Xu Shike looked at each other, and the young couple each helped their two elders up.
"Good boy, you have brought honor to our Niu family. From now on, no one in the village will dare to look down on our family." Niu Dadan patted Xu Shike's shoulder with red eyes and choked with sobs.
Xu Shike gently held his hand and said, "Dad, there will be more and more good days in the future. You and Mom will just wait and enjoy them."
Yu Guifang heard her third son's heartwarming words, and she didn't care that she was crying anymore. She said with a mixture of tears and laughter, "Silly child, your father and I have lived for most of our lives. We have thought about the good and bad days. We just want you all to live better and better lives."
