After all, nobody in the family could read!
Mrs. Lin chimed in from the side: "Is it really, or is it just another call for money? After all, eldest brother's family hasn't returned yet, and the last letter was asking us for twenty taels of silver."
Mrs. Lin's words instantly dampened everyone's joy.
Old Mrs. Mu shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you spouting? How could the eldest not have passed? I'm telling you, if he didn't pass, I'll have the second son divorce you, you blabbermouth!"
Upon hearing Old Mrs. Mu's words, Mrs. Lin shrank back, scared, and didn't utter another word, no matter what others said next.
There's a knot in everyone's hearts; they can't read the letter themselves, nor dare to show it to anyone else.
If he didn't pass, what should we do? It would be such a disgrace!
"Why don't we ask the mailman?" Mu Dajiang suggested.
