Chapter 508: Despondent Fifth Brother
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As she comforted w.a.n.g Wulang, she even asked Meatbail to prepare more candy.
But now, w.a.n.g Wulang could not even eat candy.
He sat at the doorway of the w.a.n.g Family like this. One moment, he looked at the pedestrians walking past outside, and the next moment, he looked up at the big tree in front of him.
After a while, he looked at the sky and stared at the gradually darkening sky.
When the others from the w.a.n.g Family saw this, they wanted to come over but were stopped.
Finally, the lanterns along the street were lit.
The light of the lantern was not as bright as they had imagined, and no one realized that w.a.n.g Wulang was crying silently.
“Fifth Brother, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pa.s.s this time. You can take the exam next time. When we went to the county city to pick you up, we saw many gray-haired old grandpas coming out of the exam hall. They’re all still taking the exam at their age. You’re still so young. You can still take the exam many times!”
Little Ah Yu sat beside w.a.n.g Wulang and said especially seriously, “Even if Grandma can’t fork out money for you to take the exam, I’ll fork out the money for you. In the past, I always waited for Grandma to earn money, but now, I’m also earning money. Previously, when I sold the coc.o.o.ns, I still received one tael of silver. In two years, I’ll have more money. At that time, I’ll give it all to you for the exam, okay?”
w.a.n.g Wulang didn’t say anything.
Little Ah Yu did not speak anymore. She sat on the threshold and accompanied w.a.n.g Wulang.
The lamb also came later. It sat its furry b.u.t.t on the other side of the threshold and even nudged w.a.n.g Wulang to the side.
w.a.n.g Wulang shifted slightly, still seriously doubting himself.
In the courtyard, the adults were all looking at them silently.
Especially Madam Zhang, her tone was full of worry when she talked to w.a.n.g Chuanyuan, who was at the side. “Hey, when I found out in the afternoon that Qilang had pa.s.sed the exam, was I too happy?”
It looked like her celebration had dealt a blow to the child.
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan said, “Wulang’s personality is too jumpy. It’s good to suppress him. Although our Qilang is two years younger than him, he’s still calmer than Wulang. It’s his ability to pa.s.s the test.”
It was impossible for them to not celebrate for the children who had pa.s.sed the exam just because some of them had pa.s.sed and some had not.
If they gave way to the weak for everything, the world would be in chaos.
Just as everyone thought that w.a.n.g Wulang was going to sit like this all night, he stood up.
Because he had been sitting for too long, his legs were starting to go numb. He could only hold on to the door frame.
“Ah Yu, regardless of whether you feel that I’ve failed as a Big Brother, I won’t disappoint you again.” w.a.n.g Wulang endured the soreness and swore. “I want to become the Big Brother you’re proud of.”
Little Ah Yu also stood up and patted w.a.n.g Wulang. Her voice was very clear. “Yes, I know Big Brother can do it!”
After being patted, the soreness became even worse. w.a.n.g Wulang almost cried out.
w.a.n.g Wulang suddenly asked, “I want to be a general in the future. At that time, even if Qin Huai wants to bully you, he will definitely not succeed.”
This was w.a.n.g Wulang’s true self. After thinking for a long time, he had previously thought that he could follow Little Sister Ah Yu to the prefecture capital after pa.s.sing the exam.
At that time, he would let his sister see a wider world. Perhaps his sister would no longer like Qin Huai and would choose a better child husband.
In any case, his sister was worthy of the best in the world!
He did not expect that he would fail the exam. This time, he would not be able to accompany his Little Sister Ah Yu for two years.
He probably could not partic.i.p.ate in the agreement with Grandma that everyone would go to school together..
