Today's second night watch is over, and there is one more night watch in the afternoon!

Tie Zhu was silent. Wang Zhuo sneered, "I already said that this kid doesn't have the talent. Now, he went and lost face in vain. I was accepted in the first test, so I didn't see him take the next few tests. However, I heard that he didn't pass any of the three tests. If he had listened to me earlier, he might as well not go. I think Fourth Uncle's Tiger is better than him."
Tie Zhu's Fourth Uncle frowned and shouted, "Wang Zhuo, even if you become an Immortal, don't be presumptuous in front of me.
Whether my Tiger has the talent or not, it's none of your business. You have no respect for your elders. "
A cold light flashed in Wang Zhuo's eyes. He sneered a few times and didn't speak.
Tie Zhu's father suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years. He slumped on the chair.
Tie Zhu's mother was also stunned. She didn't seem to believe it. She asked, "Tie Zhu … is … is it true?"
Tie Zhu bit his lower lip and didn't care about the blood. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said in a low voice, "Dad, Mom, Tie Zhu was not accepted by the Immortal. I'm sorry … I … I will repay you for raising me in my next life."
Tie Zhu's mother noticed the despair in her child's tone. She immediately ran over, hugged Tie Zhu, and sobbed, "Child, it's okay. Don't be sad. Isn't it just not accepted by the Immortal? When we go to the county's big exam next year, it will be the same. Child, don't do stupid things. Think about it.
Tie Zhu's father also recovered at this time. Looking at Tie Zhu's expression, his heart was shocked. He quickly hugged Tie Zhu and said anxiously, "Tie Zhu, don't do stupid things. Dad is here. Listen to Dad, go home and study hard. Next year's big exam will be the same."
The expressions of the surrounding relatives changed very quickly. They all moved away from Tie Zhu's parents. Their faces showed a look of watching the fun, gossiping and gossiping.
"I thought Tie Zhu couldn't do it before. How can he be compared with Wang Zhuo? This time, he really lost his face." Tie Zhu's father's sixth brother sneered.
Tie Zhu's father's third uncle revealed a look of disgust as he mocked, "That's right. If you had known it would be like this, you wouldn't have made it seem like you were really going to be taken in. How embarrassing. Second Brother, you're already so old, so why are you doing such stupid things? No wonder your father didn't give you the family property back then."
"In my opinion, the fact that this child has been smart since he was young is most likely fake. Second Brother probably felt that he didn't have any future prospects in this life, so he boasted about his own child. Now, look, he's been exposed." Fifth Uncle, who was sitting beside Tie Zhu's father, immediately changed his expression and changed his flattering expression.
"Three children went to take the test, and only he failed. This child, Tie Zhu, is the worst in our Wang family. How shameful. Second sister-in-law, I just said that you and second brother are enjoying life together, but now it seems that you will only be like this for the rest of your life. You don't have such luck." One of the women ridiculed.
"Isn't that so? A few days ago, I went to their village and saw Tie Zhu. At that time, I thought that this child is stupid. How can he be compared with Wang Zhuo and Wang Hao?" Tie Zhu's fifth uncle and sister-in-law also changed their expressions and sneered.
"I already knew that this Tie Zhu kid was no good. Look at his parents, how could they have a good kid? In our Wang Clan, only the children of Big Brother and Third Brother are promising. Tie Zhu, pah, just this name makes him look silly." Another woman from the group of women also didn't want to be left behind and ridiculed him.
"I must have been blind to have pushed my daughter into the fire pit. Fortunately, Tie Zhu wasn't taken by an immortal, otherwise my daughter would hate me for the rest of her life. Tie Zhu's mother, let's just forget about this matter. Since your child can't become an immortal, who would betroth their daughter to him? Isn't this a toad lusting after swan meat?"
For a moment, almost all of the relatives revealed their snobbish faces. All kinds of malicious words became more and more serious, mercilessly attacking Tie Zhu's family.
This scene, compared to the flattery just now, was like heaven and earth.
There were even some who directly shed all pretense of cordiality and directly asked for gifts from before. Tie Zhu's parents' faces turned pale when they heard this. Wang Lin clenched his fists, and the pain in his heart became even more intense. He felt like he was going to die, and all he could hear were the mocking words.
Wang Zhuo's father sneered in his heart and said casually, "Second Brother, I already said before that immortals take in disciples based on fate. The requirements are very strict. Unless someone is as outstanding as my son, there is no chance at all. But you, you really took it seriously. Now your child is so desperate that he can't live anymore. What's the point?"
Tie Zhu's father couldn't take it anymore. He suddenly turned around, glared at Wang Zhuo, and shouted, "Wang Tianshan, shut up! Back then, my father clearly left me a share of the family property before he died. You spent so much effort to contact relatives to snatch my share, and now you're here to mock me. Do you really think that I, Wang Tianshui, have no blood!?
And you relatives, you were just flattering me earlier, and now you're mocking me. My child is already like this, and you're still hitting him when he's down. Don't you have the slightest bit of humanity? "
Wang Tianshan's tone became sluggish, and he said angrily, "Why are you bringing up the past? Your child is not cut out for that. I kindly advised you, but not only did you not thank me, you even got angry at me. Hmph, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked.
The disdainful mockery and mockery from all around fell into the ears of Wang Lin, who was standing there in a daze. It was like a sharp thorn fiercely stabbing into his heart. He endured the tearing pain in his heart and looked at everything coldly, remembering the faces of every relative.
"You!!
I'll fight it out with you! "
Tie Zhu's father picked up a stool at the side and was about to rush over. Tie Zhu's fourth uncle quickly rushed out, stopped him, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, don't be rash. Boss has many servants at home. Don't be at a disadvantage. I'm here. Watch me."
After saying that, he glared at Wang Tianshan and said, "Big brother, how can you speak like that? I, the fourth brother, can't take it anymore. If you dare to insult my second brother in front of me again, don't blame me for not caring about our brotherhood. Although the Wang family is big, I, the fourth brother, have made many friends in the pugilistic world over the years. Don't let me burn them all!"
Wang Tianshan said a few words, but he was very afraid of this fourth brother of his who had a wide range of friends.
"Fourth brother, what you said is wrong. Second brother's child is not cut out for that. Is it wrong for us to talk about it?
This child is not cut out, and we are not allowed to talk about it. This is too unreasonable, "the third uncle, who was the oldest in the family, said unhappily.
