Lin Che didn’t want to go, he had watched his mother get beaten by his father so many times and had never tried to help her and what more he was going to become an official one day, if he were to go and beg his mother to come back home just because they had no money was a sheer humiliation! He didn’t want to do that! But he didn’t have the courage to tell his grandmother and father that he didn’t want to go so he simply fell after Lin Yunxi as the latter left for the new Lin house. However, after walking just a few steps, he cleared his throat and looked at Lin Yunxi imperiously. ” Yunxi? Why don’t you go to their house alone? Mother had always pampered you, she would definitely accept your apology. There is no need for me to come with you is there? Moreover, I will become an official in the future think about how this will impact me? I think I shouldn’t go there to apologise to mother with you, you alone are enough.”
Once he finished saying this, he turned around to leave but Lin Yunxi was sharper than him, she swiftly caught the back of his shirt and sneered. ” Don’t even think about it, do you think I am just as much of a fool as grandma and father? I know that you are last in your class and the reason you are avoiding going to the academy is that you made a bet with someone that you will get into the top ten of your class but in the end, you failed.” She dragged Lin Che back even though he was twice her size, Lin Yunxi knew how to deal with him. ” If you dare to run away then I will definitely tell grandma that you failed in the academy exams once again. Let’s see if she will support your studies in the future, heh, now that we have no money I bet she will agree to let you drop out of the academy and ask you to work in the fields.”
Asking Lin Che to work in the fields was akin to asking him to skin his body and scoop out his flesh, he didn’t want to work in the fields nor did he want to stay in the village all his life. He has been living in the town for so long and he has long taken fancy to the luxurious lifestyle of the town. If he were to stay in the village for all his life and marry a village girl then he might as well jump down a well and die. Of course, he was just exaggerating, he loved his life too much and would never do that.
But nonetheless, Lin Yunxi’s threat worked and he stopped running, he couldn’t drop out of the academy at the moment, if he were to quit his studies then he wouldn’t be able to participate in the junior scholar exam. Then what will he do?
Lin Che pursed his lips as he looked at Lin Yunxi with a disgruntled expression. ” If someone saw us and started talking about us behind our backs, creating rumours left and right, just so you know when I became an official, you will get no help from me.”
Lin Yunxi derisively laughed at his threat that was filled with threat and snorted. ” For that, you have to pass the exams of junior scholar, and after that, you have to give an exam for becoming a scholar and then you have to give another exam for becoming an official, you can’t even pass your academy exams after learning so much, you still think that you will be able to pass the junior scholar’s exams?”
Lin Yunxi’s voice was sickly sweet as she asked this while she dragged him to the Lin brothers’ house. Listening to her nonchalant voice, Lin Che flared up and snatched his hand back from her as he snarled. ” Just you wait, once I become an official, I will send you off to a fifty years old man.”
Lin Che’s voice was filled with threats but Lin Yunxi didn’t even take him seriously she knew her brother too well and wouldn’t worry about something that will never happen. She snorted lightly as she muttered under her breath. ” Yeah, you will become an official when pigs learn to fly.”
He might be stupid but Lin Che could still detect the sarcasm that rolled off his sister’s tone. Hah! So she was saying that he couldn’t become an official? Humph! Just you wait, the day he passed the exams of the junior scholar exams will be the day this sister would come kneeling to beg with him!
The Lin brothers’ house wasn’t too far but since neither Lin Yunxi nor Lin Che wanted to be seen by anyone, the two of them sneaked and skulked a lot before arriving at the Lin brother’s house.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohui was cooling the ground by throwing water on the ground but unfortunately, Lin Yan who finally got his chance to make babies saw the two co*kblockers.
Lin Yan: F*CK MY LIFE!
