Chapter 340 - Bai Xiaofeng took the first place?

Bai Erzhu, who was sitting in the chair, when he heard of this happy event, he immediately said: “Sister-in-law, you still don’t understand? If you reverse the first, then it will be the last!”

Mrs. Liu was shocked, but she immediately shook her head: “This is impossible. My Xiaofeng is smart, he studies and works hard. How can he be the last? This is impossible. Even if he can’t be the first place, my Xiaofeng will be in the top 3.”

Mrs. Zhang knows that she won’t believe it: “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask Xiofeng? He is in the house. But sister-in-law, not only Xiaofeng go to school in the Huangtou Village, there are other several children. Everyone can testify. I’m afraid the whole village knows about it, only you don’t!”

Mrs. Liu’s impatiently pointed her finger to Mrs. Zhang: “You, don’t try to leave here, I will let Xiaofeng clear this matter. If he is not the last one, then I’ll tear your mouth.”

Mrs. Zhang didn’t get scared at all, Mrs. Liu has always been like a male duck. She only knows how to shout. If you confront her head-on, she won’t be able to win!

“Well then, you go and ask him in front of everyone. Ask him what rank did he get in the exam.”

Mrs. Liu went inside the house in a hurry, she was both angry and anxious. Bai Xiaofeng was her only hope. If she wants to live good in the latter half of her life, she could only count to Bai Xiaofeng.

When the old lady saw Mrs. Liu entered the house, she immediately asked Mrs. Zhang: “Where did you hear this news?”

Mrs. Zhang replied: “All the villagers know that Lu Dafu’s son, Lu Pingan, took the first place in the exam. And the younger son of Old Song took the third place. The Zhao Family’s son, who people don’t pay any attention to, took the ninth place. The total number of students who took the exam is 33, and Xiaofeng who also took the exam happened to be rank 33.”

Old Lady Bai’s face became more and more ugly. Mrs. Zhang’s words sound plausible. She doesn’t sound like only talking nonsense.

At this time, Mrs. Liu and Bai Xiaofeng, who was sleeping came out. Bai Xiaofeng was obviously not very cheerful. After arriving in the yard, he pushed away Mrs. Liu’s hand and said: “What are you doing? Can’t you see people are still sleeping?”

Mrs. Liu pointed her finger to Mrs. Zhang and said: “Your second aunt said that you were the last place in the exam. Why don’t you tell her personally what place you get in the exam?”

The sleepiness Bai Xiaofeng felt disappeared without a trace. He frowned and looked at Mrs. Zhang: “Second Aunt, where did you hear that?”

Mrs. Zhang shrugged her shoulders: “I heard it when I washing clothes by the river. Everyone said so, isn’t it right?”

Bai Xiaofeng saw the eager face of Mrs. Liu and the ugly face of his grandmother. He gritted his teeth and said: “Of course not, how can I be the last one in the exam?”

Mrs. Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: “I know that my son is smart. You tell her, what place did you get in the exam.”

Bai Xiaofeng coughed and said with a dry smile: “Although I didn’t get the first place in the exam, I took third place. You can’t blame me for that, I didn’t have a good rest the day before the exam. I was in trance during the exam. Otherwise, I’ll be in the first place. It’s a pity.”

Mrs. Liu hurriedly grabbed her son’s hand. “How come you didn’t have a good rest? Did you get hungry at night and couldn’t sleep? Or is it because it was hot?”

Bai Xiaofeng said with a smile: “I’ve always been unable to eat enough. I can’t sleep well when I am hungry.”

Mrs. Liu’s eyes redden in sadness, she held Bai Xiaofeng’s hand and was not willing to let go. She then said while choking: “This is all your niang’s fault, mother cannot give you a full meal.
