Chapter 229 - 115: The Sang Family Gossip (Part 2)
Mrs. Fang could only smile and accept, feeling quite embarrassed, "Look at me, asking you for advice and now making you spend money. It’s really—"
"If older sister-in-law talks like this, aren’t you treating me as an outsider!" Sang Wan laughed, "I’m happy for my second brother’s success in the Xie Yuan exam! You shouldn’t say such things. Some might even accuse me of being sycophantic!"
"Nonsense! The Shi family doesn’t need to suck up to a newly successful Xie Yuan!" Mrs. Fang quickly retorted.
"That’s not the same thing!" Sang Wan, holding her hand, laughed, "So, neither of us should say such things about the other, or it would be like we’re strangers!"
Mrs. Fang paused, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "Alright, then I won’t say it! We’ll keep grandmother and uncle’s kindness in our hearts, that’s enough!"
Sang Wan chuckled, then said, "Right, with such a joyous event, shouldn’t we also invite the villagers for a meal? I wonder what elder brother and older sister-in-law are thinking?"
Although it was Sang Yufei who passed the Xie Yuan, as the eldest brothers are like fathers and their wives like mothers, it was naturally Sang Hong and his wife who made the decisions. Sang Wan was married and considered an adult, so Mrs. Fang could discuss with her, which ironically made Sang Yufei somewhat of an outsider to the arrangements.
"Of course, we must invite them! We were discussing to go all out with big fish and big meat to really treat them well!" Mrs. Fang emphatically said, "Not to mention anything else, just for our pride, we must make a grand display and show everyone! Our Sang family is no longer the same Sang family as before! After enduring so many years of scorn, I must vent it out thoroughly this time!"
"Older sister-in-law is right!" Sang Wan couldn’t help but laugh. Over the years, the Sang family had put up with countless sneers and ridicule, longing for this day to come, and now that it had arrived, they certainly couldn’t miss it!
