Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The audiences sighed and some cheered looking at this show.

Shao Yunduan again reassured the Land Officer that when the school at Shaoding Village was built, the Yang Village would get ten free seats along with ink, and paper. Everyone from the Yang Village was satisfied and left happily.

No one cared what happened to Ms. Tian.

After this incident, it was already dark when Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan returned home.

The rest of the family were dumbfounded seeing the couple coming back with Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni.

It took them a long while before Ms. Fang realized that it was not a dream. The family cheered happily.

Her son and daughter-in-law were back. The backbone of the family was back!

Ms. Fang asked how Yang Liang was doing. She got furious hearing the story told by them.

Thank goodness that Yang Xiaoni was lucky! Shao Sanlang ran into Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, and thanks to their reminder, Yang Xiaoni was saved.

Ms. Fang said, “Third, and Ms. Yang, you must be grateful to Yunduan and Ms. Qiao! You were saved because of them.”

Ms. Fang sighed emotionally. This son of hers and his wife were incomparable to anyone else in the family. With them around, she did not need to worry about anything.

Before Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan could refuse, Shao Sanlang and Yang

Xiaoni nodded and gave the couple a deep bow, almost bending their back.

“Thank you so much, Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law, thank you so much for what you did for us today.”

“Thank you so much, Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law!”

“Oh please, don’t be like this!”

“Third Brother, please, get up now!”

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan felt a bit embarrassed. They helped Yang Xiaoni and Shao Sanlang stand up.

Ms. Fang said seriously, “It is fine. They should thank you. Both of you, always remember this favor they did for you!’

Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni nodded and looked grateful.

This was definitely something they had to remember forever. But for this coincidence, they just could not imagine what the consequences would have been like.

Maybe Yang Xiaoni was taken back by Ms. Tiana There would be many rumors circulating after that, if Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had not brought them along with the Land Officer and Elderly Men from the clan to make a clarification.

Once the gossip was spread, there was no way to make it clear. As the time passed, the gossip would turn real, and no argument would be able to bring out the actual truth. Neither way would work out.

Even if she killed herself, people would say that she must be too ashamed to live.

Rumors could kill, no matter whether it was true or false.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did not turn them down but accepted the gratitude.

“Finally, you are back. Let’s wait at home for the announcement of the result.

You must be very tired after the long trip. Taotao, Xiaoni, go and make dinner. Steam the smoked sausage, stir fried cured duck with garlic sprouts, steam and make some egg custard, along with fried eggplant and long beans! Let’s eat first and take a good rest. We will talk about everything tomorrow.”

Taotao and Yang Xiaoni went to cook food.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan exchanged a smiling look and said, “Dad, Mom, Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, the results were announced yesterday. I am a Recommended man, as well as the Provincial Champion!” Shao Sanlang smiled. “Yeah, our brother is so intelligent!’

Everyone present. ‘

Ms. Fang, Eldest Uncle and everyone else was shocked.

Ms. Xu was the first to recover and started laughing.. “Parents, this is great! This is wonderful news!
