The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2105 - 2107: Had an Argument with Brother-in-law

The next day, after Yang Chuxia sent Lele to school, she went to the study to take a look at both exam papers. Mainly, it was about the few sections that were similar to Yang Qingtong’s, just as Ye Zi’an had said, except for a few different words, the concepts and even the sentences were almost identical.

Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but ponder deeply, what exactly was going on here.

In the afternoon, Yang Qingrui and his brother came back and saw Yang Chuxia looking troubled, which seemed a bit strange.

"Sis, what’s wrong? Not happy? Did you have a fight with brother-in-law?"

Qingrui thought, that can’t be right, the sister and brother-in-law have had such a good relationship over the years, never seen them have an argument.

"What nonsense." Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes and took out the two exams she had been comparing, "Here, take a look, this is what’s troubling me."

Yang Qingtong took it and looked over, scratched his head, "What’s wrong? Did brother-in-law say what I wrote didn’t get the attention of the examiners? Or did I go off-topic? No, right?"

Otherwise, why does sister look like it’s the end of the world?

"Didn’t you notice that both papers, especially the policy discussion part, have a lot in common?"

"Oh, this?" Yang Qingtong laughed, "If you ask me, Sis, your Lele is quite something, I really admire him, I’ve been studying for so many years, if I hadn’t gone through more paths, learned more words, seen more people and things, I couldn’t compare to this kid."

"Look at these sections, though the language is a bit childish up front, but the insights in the later sections are quite close to mine, only the kid’s wording is naive, he changed a few words, which slightly altered the meaning."

"Luckily, he’s my nephew, otherwise, I’d be really embarrassed."

Yang Chuxia twitched the corner of her mouth, "Your brother-in-law said he copied your essay."

"Ah??" Yang Qingtong’s mouth gaped open, it took him a while to exclaim, "How could brother-in-law say that?"

Yang Qingrui raised his eyebrow, "Yes, why would brother-in-law think that? Lele hasn’t seen Qingtong’s paper before. Why say that?"

"Exactly." Yang Qingtong nodded, "Before we went to the village the day before yesterday he came to us asking for practice papers to memorize, and he even brought his work for us to see. I thought at that time, this kid is really incredibly smart."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia’s eyes brightened. This means Lele had already finished his own paper before seeing Qingtong’s. "Then take a look, this paper, is it the same one you saw the first time that day?"

With his meticulous nature, Yang Qingrui took it, looked it over from start to finish again, "Yes, this is the one." Yang Qingrui closed the paper and said, "Brother-in-law has wronged someone this time. If you look carefully, you’d know it’s impossible. You could only say that the two have similar insights, but the writing styles are different. You see, Lele uses a holistic approach while Qingtong uses a layered approach. Besides, the complete paper has several sections, not just the policy discussion part, the other parts are different too. There’s also a real-world topic, using the recent Northeast snow disaster as the theme, it’s clear that Lele, as a young child, doesn’t consider things as comprehensively."

"Yes, yes, how could brother-in-law, who’s so meticulous, make such a mistake?" At this time, Yang Qingtong was a bit dissatisfied with Ye Zi’an too. His little nephew is so smart, why would he need to copy others?

"When your brother-in-law comes back, you should talk to him about this again."

Ye Zi’an came back relatively late that day and saw that Yang Qingrui and his brother were both there, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
