619: Chapter 619: Scram (3)_1 619: Chapter 619: Scram (3)_1 People finally understood that it was because everyone had failed to congratulate Yang Rusong, which was why there had been such a fuss.
They couldnât help but wear strange expressions on their faces.
Whether to congratulate someone or not was a matter of personal choice; no one was entitled to demand it.
âHa!
Whatâs so impressive about becoming a Scholar?â The old crone scoffed, âWeâve got a Champion here, and they didnât go around bragging about it.
If youâre so capable, become a Champion yourself.
Then you wonât even need to shout about it; the Emperor himself would probably congratulate youâŠâ
âWhat Champion?
Stop blowing smoke.â Yang Anshi waved her hand dismissively, âWhat business is it of an old hag like you?
Are you jealous because your family doesnât have a Scholar?
Whatâs so great about a Champion?
If Rusong wanted to, he could pass it with easeâŠâ
âGuan Qingshu is actually the Champion.â Someone eating shouted out, âLook, the official who brought the good news is still here.
Donât believe me?
Go ask, aunty.
Surely you must know what a Champion is?â
âOld sister-in-law, you think a Champion title is some sweet potato, do you?
That it can be obtained just by saying so?
Even someone with the title Champion wouldnât dare claim thatâŠâ
âExactly, beware lest bragging sparks fly back on your own tongueâŠâ
The crowd burst into laughter at this.
Of course, Yang Anshi knew what a Champion wasâit signified the first place.
Although Rusongâs fiftieth place was already quite an achievement, compared to the first place⊠Yet, being ridiculed like this stung, and she immediately sprayed jeers back at the crowd.
The people eating were not all afraid of her, so they retorted back and forth, line by line.
For the first time, the old woman felt like her ability to hurl insults was failing her.
âDongziâŠâ The third uncle sighed, âLet me give you one last piece of advice: with such a daughter-in-law, if you continue to indulge her, you will certainly face abandonment by everyone eventuallyâŠâ
âIt has already begun,â the fourth elder coldly added, before waving his hand dismissively, âYou can leave now.
From now on, donât come around us anymore.
Since your bond with Xinxin has been severed, stop being envious of othersâ fortune.
Everyone has their own destiny.
Youâve used up all your good fortune early in this life; from now on, youâll just have to sufferâŠâ
Yang Peili didnât know where to put his embarrassed face.
âHow can you all act like this?
Influenced by that dead bitch Yang Dani, no, nowadays it should be Xun Hui, that dead bitch who has misled you all?â Yang Anshi was nearly mad with rage by now, her anger peaking upon realizing that Xun Hui was sitting there dressed to the nines, without even coming to greet her.
She couldnât help but speak without any restraint.
Of course, Sanni was clinging on to Xun Hui, preventing her from standing up, while Xun Hui was actually trembling with nervousness.
Yang Ruxin knew she would be targeted, so she didnât pay any attention to the conflict.
Instead, she was busy taking care of the little ones and making sure they had some meat to eat.
She also knew Yang Anshi was capable of messing things up, but never expected her to mess up to such an extent.
The last time they divided the family properties, this woman had spoken without a filter and already offended the two elders.
However, apparently, the two elders hadnât planned on dwelling on it.
But this time it was different, and likely they would be thoroughly offended.
But this was simply a case of reaping what you sow.
âYou⊠youâŠâ Indeed, the two old men were nearly vexed to the point of passing out, scaring their respective descendants who quickly gathered around them.
âGet out!â The third uncle finally recovered and thundered in anger.
âOutâŠâ Others in the crowd joined in.
âThatâs right, that old pious witch should roll out of Budong VillageâŠâ
