Mrs. Xu walked back home from the entrance of the village, her head spinning from all the compliments she received that she could hardly tell north from south. Once home, she felt as if she had become a High-ranking Official's Wife, even her walk had changed.
With mincing steps and a practiced smile on her face, she looked the part. But as soon as she reached home, her charade fell apart, and she took a deep breath, "Oh dear mother.
Being a High-ranking Official's Wife is just too uncomfortable, having to put on airs all the time. Luckily, I'm only the team leader's wife. It'd really be tough for me to act like an educated person."
"You see yourself at your age! Isn't it embarrassing? Just look at yourself," Granny Zhang had nothing but disdain and wished she could find a crack to crawl into.
Mrs. Xu was unfazed, "Mom, what's wrong with me? Now that Yingying has achieved so much, as her mother, I can't afford to embarrass her."
