Chapter 226 - 114: Just Wait and See Tomorrow
"Many thanks, Li Zheng. If there’s nothing else, my brother and I will head back first!" Full of cheer, Sang Yufei smiled and cupped his hands towards Li Zheng as he made his farewells.
"Not at all, you’re too kind! Please, go ahead!" Li Zheng hastily sidestepped with a bow in return, then added, "By the way, if there’s anything you need help with later, just say the word!"
"If it turns out to be true, Li Zheng, we’ll surely need to bother you then!" Sang Yufei courteously replied.
"Heh heh, you’re too polite, too polite!"
Sang Pingliang and Mrs. Li watched on, feeling both ashamed and furious, at a loss for words. After Li Zheng saw the brothers out, he turned to see this couple still dumbstruck in the house, feeling disgusted, he shooed them out with both pushing and shoving.
Sang Pingliang and Mrs. Li were the types who bully the weak but fear the strong. They could bully the orphaned Sang brothers, but didn’t dare challenge Li Zheng, and thus had to leave his residence in a disgraceful state, cursing all the way home.
"Master, what shall we do now!" Mrs. Li anxiously wiped her tears and said, "From now on, they will surely bully us to death! That Mrs. Fang, especially, has a sharper tongue than a knife!"
"Hmph!" Sang Pingliang also wore a dark expression, speaking coldly and grimly, "So what if they don’t get adopted? It’s no big deal! Hmph, but thinking they can disavow me as their uncle? They wish!"
"Master, do you have a plan?" Mrs. Li stopped crying, asking eagerly.
"You’ll know tomorrow!" Sang Pingliang let out a long sigh, expelling the pent-up frustrations in his chest. He refused to believe that in the presence of a whole squad of government officials announcing the good news tomorrow, Sang Yufei would refuse to acknowledge his own uncle! The whole village could testify that he was his uncle. If he dared to deny it, his reputation would be tarnished for good!
The news of a Jieyuan emerging from the village brought glory to Li Zheng’s face, and he couldn’t wait to spread the word. Thus, Sihe Village was abuzz with excitement starting from that evening, with Sang Hong’s household becoming lively.
