    You’re the real unfilial one.


    Upon hearing these words, Sun Junyan’s face instantly turned the colour of pig liver. He subconsciously clenched his fists, ring fiercely at Tong Sang with his eyes filled with jealousy, “What do you know! As the grandson of the vige chief, you could never understand the hardships my family faces!”


    The Tong family, being smallndowners and shop owners, could never understand the bitter feeling of not being able to afford even a single silk garment!


    And yet here he stands using him, Bah!


    It’s so easy to talk when you’re the one standing!


    Tong Sang raised an eyebrow and ayer of contempt appeared on his handsome face, “No matter how down and out I am, 1 would never resort to trading my parents’ dignity for a future.”


    “There are many schrs with financial difficulties, but you’re the only one in the whole Daqi who forced his mother to kneel for money.”


    “You want to see the county magistrate? Go ahead, let’s see how he handles this.”


    “That’s right, let’s go and see the county magistrate.” Qiao Xiaomai jumped down from the donkey cart, her gaze cold as she looked at Sun Junyan, a mocking smile yed on her lips, “Uncle Sun, a month ago my family was so poor that my grandmother wanted my father to sell me to a brothel.”


    “And now? Now, you need to borrow money from me.”


    Sheughed coldly, “Real achievers earn their own money, not force their mothers to kneel before others.”


    “You im to be a schr and consider yourself superior, but in truth, you’re no different from the idle vagrants in the vige.”


    “I, Qiao Xiaomai, spit on you.”


    Upon hearing these words, Sun Junyan’s facial colour turned from pig liver to dark purple, as if he was poisoned. His eyes were bloodshot, his nails digging fiercely into his palms, but he felt no pain.


    Tong Sang’s words were like blows to his face.


    And before he could protest, Qiao Xiaomai’s words added another blow.


    This man and woman certainly seemed to want to make his face swell up.


    His head felt somewhat dizzy from the rage, and he bit his tongue hard. The sharp pain and the taste of blood cleared his mind somewhat.


    His blood-red eyes bore into Qiao Xiaomai, resembling a frenzied animal, “What do you know! Schrs only make their names after passing the Imperial Examination!”


    Earning silver now?


    Once 1 be an official, the money will naturallye!


    “Schrs can earn money by writing letters and couplets for others, and if your writing is good, you can even copy things for the bookstore. In truth, you’re simply too proud to lower yourself and do such work.” Contempt deepened on Tong Sang’s handsome face.


    “That’s right, you want respect and money? Where in the world is such a good deal?” Qiao Xiaomai chimed in, a cold smile still on her face.


    “If someone who can remain indifferent while watching his mother kneel for others bes an official, god knows what atrocities he mightmit.” Tong Sang added.


    Qiao Xiaomai nodded wholeheartedly, “To prevent harm to the people in the future, 1 think I should go to the Academy and tell your teacher about all of this.”


    Going to the Academy to make things public?


    Thinking about the reaction from his teachers and ssmates, Sun Junyan swayed and his face turned even darker with terror.


    Originally confident, he found himself bewildered by the teaming up of Tong Sang and Qiao Xiaomai.


    With their back and forth, they exposed the darkest and most secret thoughts of his heart for all to see.


    He felt as though he were naked, being looked upon by everyone with contempt.


    After a few more trembles, his vision darkened, and he could no longer support himself and copsed..
