"What?" Yang Rusong immediately frowned, "Head of the list?" That meant first place.
"Just luck," Guan Qingshu hastily waved his hands, "I..."
"Are you here to show off?" Yang Rusong suddenly snorted coldly, then turned around and slammed the courtyard gate shut.
Guan Qingshu was stunned, then forced a bitter smile. When had he ever shown off?
"What kind of attitude is that?" Tong Lingling muttered dissatisfied.
"Who asked you to follow me? Who asked for your opinion?" Guan Qingshu couldn’t help but turn around and glare at Tong Lingling, then he turned and walked away.
"Cousin, I..." Tong Lingling immediately felt aggrieved, but still hurriedly followed, "I’m telling the truth, I didn’t lie..."
Guan Qingshu sighed, too lazy to talk to this fool any longer, and quickened his pace to leave.
"Cousin." Tong Lingling felt even more aggrieved, rushing to catch up, but she tripped and fell to the ground with a thud, bursting into tears right away.
Guan Qingshu had already turned the corner and walked away.
"Hey, isn’t this little sister Lingling?" Just then, a mocking voice came over, and someone walked over, "Who’s bullying you? Come on, let brother have a look..."
Tong Lingling quickly got up on her own. As soon as she saw who it was, she frowned, "Wang Wu, stay away from me." Since she often visited her aunt’s house, she was familiar with the people in the village, and they all knew she was Guan Qingshu’s cousin.
"I want to get closer to you." Wang Wu took another step forward, "I fancy you..." Because his mother had fought with Yang Ruxin, his family hadn’t been included in today’s banquet, and his brother was nowhere to be found. He had just been loitering around the area, but didn’t expect to come across Tong Lingling.
Although Lin Yue’e hadn’t had a good reputation before, finding a wife hadn’t been difficult for her, but ever since her husband had gotten into a fight with the Widow Lü and lost an eye, their family had been treated like street rats, shunned by everyone, let alone being approached for marriage arrangements. So he and his brother had discussed finding wives for themselves.
In their eyes, finding a wife wasn’t hard at all, just sleep with a girl and naturally she would become a wife, sleep with as many as you wanted for multiple wives.
However, Wang Wu’s taste in women was a bit unusual. He found that the girls in the village were too skinny and unattractive. Of course, those who were too fat or too burly like Yang Baihe were also unattractive to him. Therefore, he had taken a liking to Tong Lingling.
Tong Lingling was quite pretty, and more importantly, her family was well-off. She was slightly plump, which was just what Wang Wu liked, but every time Tong Lingling wouldn’t even give him a proper look, which frustrated him. He’d never had the chance to sleep with her, but today an opportunity had presented itself.
"Get lost," Tong Lingling shouted, "If you come any closer, I’ll scream for help..."
"Cousin..." At that moment, Guan Qingyue’s voice came over, "Why are you sitting on the ground? Where’s my brother?"
Wang Wu saw someone coming, and although it was another girl, he didn’t dare to make a move, especially since this was the Scholar Family’s younger sister. He just touched his nose and backed off a few steps.
"It’s nothing, I just fell," Tong Lingling wiped her face, "Cousin is up ahead." Then, after glaring at Wang Wu, she took Guan Qingyue’s hand and ran off.
"Hmph." Wang Wu spat at the backs of the two, "Just wait, I’ll sleep with both of you, and make that Scholar call me brother-in-law..."
