Chapter 442 The Men in Black Partnership (2)_1
Now, the bond between uncle and nephew is beyond repair, irreversible!
In an instant, Old Man Mo seemed to age several years, looking utterly defeated, like a cock that has lost its fight.
Ever since he was sensible, he had been envious of his older brother’s intelligence and favored status in the eyes of their parents. When his brother became a Scholar and married a beautiful and virtuous wife, producing an exceptional child, his envy had driven him into a destructive obsession.
He himself had failed in his studies and had an unlikable disposition. He could only toil away in the soil for a meager subsistence. Even the wife he’d married was coarse and not a bit virtuous. His own son was just as simple-minded, not half the man his brother’s son was.
When the oppressive couple that was his brother and sister-in-law finally died, and no one compared him to his brother anymore, he thought he could finally hold his head high. Yet, that damned nephew, just like his late father, always outshone his own son, and people started to compare their sons again!
However, his brother and sister-in-law had left Silver and land for him, and with the stern old village chief watching, he couldn’t, however reluctantly, prevent his nephew from studying. Even after obstructing the boy both openly and in secret, his nephew would become a Scholar at a young age!
