The news that Lin Rui was admitted in the top academy such as Xuan spread all over the village in no time. So when Lin Rui left his house to bring Doctor Gu, he encountered several villagers who were bent on congratulating him even though he said that there was no need for them to take such troubles. Lin Rui was only saying it out of politeness because he had once seen these same villagers turning their backs on his family when his father was lost in the sea. And now that they were here, telling him how happy they are with his success, wasn't it because they wanted to curry favour with him in hope that he might take care of them when he becomes an official?
