Wang Yongzhu brought Old Granny Zhang some hot water to wash her face, and comforted her, "Mother, it's okay, father probably just drank too much. Once he sobers up tomorrow, we'll talk to him, and he won't be so impulsive."
"How can your father be so muddled, don't we as parents know what kind of temperament our second son has? I see that this official-obsessed temperament of his is just like your father's! What's wrong with being a peasant family? As long as you have land, the heavens won't let a hard-working man starve! Insisting on becoming an official without even seeing if one is cut out for it!" Old Granny Zhang nagged as she clung to Wang Yongzhu.
What could Wang Yongzhu say? She guessed that this obsession with becoming an official is embedded in every parent who wishes their child to become successful. Wang Laozhu's greatest success in life would be if his son could become a Scholar, and if he could become an official, then his life would be complete.
