Chapter 476 - 476: Madam Liang Provokes Mrs. Tang
Teacher Yu was already over forty years old and had taken the exam many times. Didn’t he still give up now?
Madam Liang wanted to ask more, but Dabao was already impatient.
He tugged at Madam Liang. The latter had no choice but to stand up and say that she had to go home to get something.
Then, she brought Dabao to her house. However, when she passed by the Tang family’s door, Madam Liang’s footsteps stopped uncontrollably.
She didn’t like Mrs. Tang either, and she even hated her.
Many people in the village looked down on her behind her back, gossiped about her, and belittled her. Madam Liang held a grudge and would spit back at her whenever she had the chance.
But Mrs. Tang was different. She didn’t lie behind her back, but the disdain in her eyes was even more piercing.
When she saw Madam Liang, she never greeted her. She even pretended not to see her.
This made Madam Liang often suppress her anger in her heart, unable to go up or down.
Now that they were at their doorstep and knew that they were back, it was fine to show some concern, right?
Madam Liang coughed lightly and knocked on the Tang family’s courtyard door.
Dabao stomped his foot in anger when he saw that she was not going to leave again. “You can talk here. I’ll go find Shi Tou and the others to play.”
Madam Liang waved her hand. They were in the village anyway, so she was not worried.
After Dabao ran away, the Tang family’s door was opened, revealing Mrs. Tang’s impatient face.
Mrs. Tang thought it was another villager who came to ask about the provincial examination, but it turned out to be Madam Liang.
She did not have much interaction with Madam Liang. It was just that when she saw her, she thought of the exiled Shu Yu. For a moment, she was distracted and Madam Liang slipped in.
Mrs. Tang frowned and closed the door. She turned around and asked, “Why are you here?”
“D*mn, I heard that you guys came back from the provincial examination, so I came to ask Scholar Tang for advice.”
“Ask for advice on what?”
Madam Liang said, “Of course, it’s about the provincial examination. You might not know, but my Dabao is also in a private school. The teacher who taught him said that Dabao was very smart and was suitable for the imperial examination. Well, I’ll ask around first to find out what I have to pay attention to in this exam so that I can prepare in advance.”
Mrs. Tang pursed her lips in disapproval. With Lu Dabao’s personality, he still wanted to take the exam. What a joke.
She said expressionlessly, “Wenqian isn’t at home. If you have any questions, ask him when you see him in the future.”
“Eh, isn’t Scholar Tang at home? Where did he go? I heard that he didn’t do very well this time. Did he go out to relax in a bad mood? Sister-in-law, you have to persuade him more. If he can’t do it this time, there’s still a next time. Don’t take things too hard.”
Mrs. Tang gritted her teeth. “He didn’t do badly.”
“Don’t hide it from me. The rankings haven’t even been posted yet. How do you know that you didn’t do well? Besides, what other reason can you have for coming back so dejected besides not doing well?”
Naturally, it’s because of your Second Girl Lu.
Mrs. Tang suppressed her anger and said, “It’s none of your business. You can go back now.”
“Eh, how is it none of my business? Didn’t I tell you? My Dabao will also be taking the imperial examination in the future, so it’s necessary to understand in advance. He can also know the reason why Scholar Tang didn’t win in time. He will have a better idea and be more confident.”
