Chapter 605: Passed the Exam (5)_1
"I’m telling you, I’m here to take care of my son, as for anyone else who’s unrelated, I have no obligation to serve..." Feng Caie then glanced sideways at Yang Baixiang before turning into the kitchen.
Yang Baixiang stood awkwardly in the middle of the courtyard, not knowing what to do next.
The elderly couple inside didn’t utter a word either. In the end, Yang Baixiang turned silently and entered his own room, and he sat on his simple kang bed, his heart involuntarily filled with the sour memory of his last visit to Xinxin’s home, where Xiaofeng had insisted that he not waste food, which was actually his way of making sure Yang ate his fill. But here... his heart couldn’t help but ache.
That night, Yang Baixiang didn’t go out for dinner, and of course, no one came to call him either, so he just went to sleep on an empty stomach.
The next day, all the family members eagerly awaited the announcement, while Yang Baixiang quietly picked up water before heading over to Yang Ruxin’s, knowing today was the day of the workshop’s completion, where he could lend a hand.
Compared to Yang Rusong’s anxiety, Guan Qingshu was remarkably indifferent, truly indifferent, indifferent to the point of seeming almost uncaring.
Since his confrontation with Gu Qingheng, Guan Qingshu had become unusually silent upon returning home, speaking very little and just burying himself in reading day and night, even memorizing backwards the passage from "Mencius" that Qingheng had recited. But what was the use? His mind was continuously tormented by the image of Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng holding hands tightly, so he didn’t care at all about the exams anymore, because he suddenly felt they were meaningless.
But while he might not care, others did, and that was the Tong Family. Tong Gang had rushed to the county town that morning to check the announcement. Seeing Guan Qingshu’s name, he was incomparably thrilled and hurried back home, locking up the shop before rushing to Dapu East Village with his wife and child.
"Really?" asked Guan Tongshi, electrified by the news brought by her older brother and sister-in-law, "My Qingshu was certainly bound to pass... and we can’t discount the support from my older brother and sister-in-law... And how about the Yang Family’s boy?"
