Liang Shi and her son arrived in Shishi Village, full of energy.
As they approached the village entrance, they saw five or six women sitting under a big tree, sewing and chatting.
Liang Shi raised an eyebrow and thought, "What a great opportunity."
She immediately held her son's hand and walked over with a brisk pace. Smiling, she asked, "What are you all talking about?"
The women were startled when they saw Liang Shi, but she sat down right next to them and placed her backpack with a thud in front of her.
Seeing the women instinctively looking at her backpack, she quickly said, "Oh, you're talking about these vegetables, right? These were specially picked by my parents and siblings for me."
No, they weren't planning to talk about vegetables.
Liang Shi giggled and continued, "You know, since we moved to the city, we have to spend money even to buy a single scallion. My parents couldn't bear it when I came back for a visit, so they immediately picked all these vegetables for me to take back to the county town. But I'm also filial, so I gave them a big piece of meat."
The women, "..."
Liang Shi carried on, "My parents praised me and said it was rare to have a daughter who married out and was so generous, bringing back such a... big piece of meat. They even scolded me for spending money recklessly. But what can I do? Our Sanzhu is doing well, he has a stable job, and I'm diligent too. I do some embroidery work to supplement our household income, and life has become better. It's only natural to give some meat to my parents, right?"
The women, "..."
Damn it, they wanted to leave.
They glanced at each other, and one of them immediately thought of an excuse to go home.
Liang Shi hadn't even boasted about her son yet, so she quickly changed the topic. "By the way, what were you all talking about just now? I haven't been back to the village in a long time, and I don't know what's been happening. Fill me in."
The gossip factor in Shishi Village was as strong as ever. Although the women present didn't like Liang Shi, they eagerly started telling her.
"We were talking about the Tang family."
"The Tang family? What's up with them?"
"Tang Xiucai took the township examination in the capital city last month, right? Well, he returned yesterday."
Liang Shi became even more interested. The township examination, she didn't understand this part of common knowledge. But now that her son was attending a private school and would participate in the township examination in the future, she needed to get familiar with it in advance.
Seeing her interest, the women immediately began talking all at once.
"I heard that the township examination just ended a few days ago, but the announcement of the results won't come until September, in about ten more days. Normally, candidates and their families are eager to know whether they passed or not, right? We all thought Tang Xiucai and the others would at least take ten more days to come back, but who knew he returned home yesterday."
"When the village chief heard about it, he went to ask Tang Xiucai about the situation this morning, asking how he did in the examination. At that time, I followed along to see. Tang Xiucai said a bunch of things that I couldn't quite understand. But I did catch one thing, Tang Xiucai himself is not sure if he did well or not, he said he'll only know after the results are announced."
"You know, if he thought he did well, he would definitely stay in the capital city and wait there. Why did he suddenly come back?"
"I think he must have performed really poorly. Just think about it, the township examination is difficult at his age, and it's rare for someone to pass with high marks. Or maybe something happened to him in the capital city."
"I tried asking his mother, but she had a dismissive attitude and didn't want to talk to anyone."
