The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Scram (3)_1

People finally understood that it was because everyone had failed to congratulate Yang Rusong, which was why there had been such a fuss. They couldn’t help but wear strange expressions on their faces. Whether to congratulate someone or not was a matter of personal choice; no one was entitled to demand it.

”Ha! What’s so impressive about becoming a Scholar?” The old crone scoffed, ”We’ve got a Champion here, and they didn’t go around bragging about it. If you’re so capable, become a Champion yourself. Then you won’t even need to shout about it; the Emperor himself would probably congratulate you...”

”What Champion? Stop blowing smoke.” Yang Anshi waved her hand dismissively, ”What business is it of an old hag like you? Are you jealous because your family doesn’t have a Scholar? What’s so great about a Champion? If Rusong wanted to, he could pass it with ease...”

”Guan Qingshu is actually the Champion.” Someone eating shouted out, ”Look, the official who brought the good news is still here. Don’t believe me? Go ask, aunty. Surely you must know what a Champion is?”

”Old sister-in-law, you think a Champion title is some sweet potato, do you? That it can be obtained just by saying so? Even someone with the title Champion wouldn’t dare claim that...”

”Exactly, beware lest bragging sparks fly back on your own tongue...”

The crowd burst into laughter at this.

Of course, Yang Anshi knew what a Champion was—it signified the first place. Although Rusong’s fiftieth place was already quite an achievement, compared to the first place... Yet, being ridiculed like this stung, and she immediately sprayed jeers back at the crowd.

The people eating were not all afraid of her, so they retorted back and forth, line by line. For the first time, the old woman felt like her ability to hurl insults was failing her.

”Dongzi...” The third uncle sighed, ”Let me give you one last piece of advice: with such a daughter-in-law, if you continue to indulge her, you will certainly face abandonment by everyone eventually...”

”It has already begun,” the fourth elder coldly added, before waving his hand dismissively, ”You can leave now. From now on, don’t come around us anymore. Since your bond with Xinxin has been severed, stop being envious of others’ fortune. Everyone has their own destiny. You’ve used up all your good fortune early in this life; from now on, you’ll just have to suffer...”

Yang Peili didn’t know where to put his embarrassed face.

”How can you all act like this? Influenced by that dead bitch Yang Dani, no, nowadays it should be Xun Hui, that dead bitch who has misled you all?” Yang Anshi was nearly mad with rage by now, her anger peaking upon realizing that Xun Hui was sitting there dressed to the nines, without even coming to greet her. She couldn’t help but speak without any restraint.

Of course, Sanni was clinging on to Xun Hui, preventing her from standing up, while Xun Hui was actually trembling with nervousness.

Yang Ruxin knew she would be targeted, so she didn’t pay any attention to the conflict. Instead, she was busy taking care of the little ones and making sure they had some meat to eat. She also knew Yang Anshi was capable of messing things up, but never expected her to mess up to such an extent.

The last time they divided the family properties, this woman had spoken without a filter and already offended the two elders. However, apparently, the two elders hadn’t planned on dwelling on it. But this time it was different, and likely they would be thoroughly offended.

But this was simply a case of reaping what you sow.

”You... you...” Indeed, the two old men were nearly vexed to the point of passing out, scaring their respective descendants who quickly gathered around them.

”Get out!” The third uncle finally recovered and thundered in anger.

”Out...” Others in the crowd joined in.

”That’s right, that old pious witch should roll out of Budong Village...”
