Perhaps it truly was a case of "pride coming before a fall," for once Ye Gaosheng arrived home, he couldn't manage to laugh anymore.
When they had driven the ox cart back to the house, the Wang Family's sister-in-law was also there.
"Sister-in-law Wang is here? Please have a seat while I go unyoke and tie up the ox." Out of courteousness for speaking about a potential wife, Ye Gaosheng warmly called out.
However, the smile on Wang Family's sister-in-law's face stiffened for a moment, "Such a sturdy ox, whose is it?"
With a hint of showing off, Ye Gaosheng proudly answered, "It's ours, just bought it."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. He's previously sour face suddenly blossomed into a smile, "Ah, look at these children, when they left in the morning, I had just mentioned how cumbersome it is to go to town, and how nice it would be if we had an ox cart. This old woman could go out too. Despite my mutterings, these kids actually went and bought an ox."
