"At worst, let Que’er go and apologize to them, and marry that little brat. What’s the big deal? An old maid, she still thinks..."
"Mom, please stop talking!"
Auntie i was almost scared to death. Her mother-in-law seed to think the situation wasn’t quite big enough, as she was still considering having her grandson marry An Jiuyue.
To be honest, if she hadn’t married into this family, she would have wanted to say: a scholar is worth nothing!
In the eyes of a real official, a scholar is nothing. As soon as they open their mouth, scholar? He could be imdiately dismissed, believe it or not?
"An Jiuyue’s husband said that he only needs one word to make our Que’er lose his scholar status. If you keep saying this and it reaches their ears, our family could be dood."
She said.
Before, she always thought having a scholar in the family was sothing to be proud of.
But now upon reconsideration, what’s so great about being a scholar if he’s not her son? What is there to be proud of? Even if the eldest son becos successful in the future, her sister-in-law, who is so condescending, would let her benefit a lot?
Only afraid in the end that there won’t be any advantage, instead she might grab a few things and walk away, a losing transaction!
Forget it, she didn’t want to get involved in the eldest family’s affairs in the future. Now that their family offended An Jiuyue, the days ahead might be very hard.
"What did you say?"
Auntie i’s mother-in-law widened her triangular eyes, her face suddenly turned pale.
"Why is this? A man should marry, a woman should wed, what’s wrong with that? Why do they want to deal with our Que’er? Our Que’er hasn’t offended them! Is there no justice anymore?"
Auntie i stopped talking too, standing silently on the side.
A man should marry, a woman should wed, that’s correct, but it also depends on whether people are willing.
However nicely we talk here, if they are unwilling and look down on their Que’er, it’s all for nothing. Can’t force soone to marry Que’er, can we?
To say sothing unpleasant, where does their family get the audacity from!
Now, she was just waiting for the family to gather, so they could quickly discuss what to do next. Maybe, they had already sent soone to strip her nephew’s scholar status.
Tsk tsk, thinking of this possibility, she didn’t know why, but her heart, just scolded by her mother-in-law, suddenly felt better.
"Mom, you should lower your voice, don’t let outsiders hear."
Listening to her mother-in-law wailing, she gently reminded, if the villagers heard, their family would have an even tougher ti.
These years, her sister-in-law hadn’t held back from taking advantage of the neighbors, because her son was a scholar.
Even though people feared their family having a scholar, who knows how much they hated them in their hearts. If Que’er really was no longer a scholar, would the villagers still respect them?
Only afraid it would be the villagers ignoring them, and their family would live under the villagers’ disdain.
Although she reminded them and thought about it, it couldn’t stop her mother-in-law from shouting all the way here. Curious people had long been listening outside.
Moreover, she wasn’t the only one who had run into An Jiuyue and her husband on the mountain; the news of their return had already spread.
Thus the news that An Que’s scholar status was to be revoked quickly spread through the village.
