Moreover, he had two good sons studying in town, who were soon taking the county-level child scholar exam. If they passed, they'd be true scholars, making them even less offendable.
Hua Liu suppressed his anger once more, forcing an ugly smile at Hua Chengtian.
"No, no, we won't disturb you any longer, Chengtian. We're leaving."
"Then I won't see you out," Hua Chengtian said with a cold laugh.
Nodding, Hua Liu turned to support his unsteady eldest son and walked home, his face darkening. As for his wife and daughter-in-law, he didn't even glance at them.
Back home, he dragged his wife into the room, leading to a symphony of wailing.
