"Yes, Changting is indeed remarkable. Both Mr. Qian and Mr. Xu speak so highly of him." Someone chimed in.
Upon hearing these words, Ma Dalang and Ma Zhicai couldn't help but sneer inwardly. These folks were all about ingratiating themselves with the Lin family. As for Lin Changting, how old was he? He was only seven, what could such a young kid possibly know. As for this Mr. Qian and the one named Xu, they were both servants bought by the Lin family, so naturally, they would speak favorably of the Lin Family.
Nevertheless, no matter how the villagers praised Lin Changting to the skies, the father and son Ma Zhicai remained unconvinced that Lin Changting truly possessed a talent for learning. Ma Zhicai himself had only managed to become a Tongsheng at the age of sixteen, the sole person to achieve such a feat in Shili Village for many years now. It was ludicrous for Lin Changting to imagine that he could eclipse Ma Zhicai.
