"Of course it's not a joke," Wu Lang said, "but this official position is not granted to me; it's granted to my father."
With that one sentence, Wu Lang dropped a bombshell.
"How can that be!" Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang were dumbfounded, murmuring to themselves. You can't blame them for not believing it; after all, they had never imagined that Lian Shouxin could become an official.
Lian Shouxin never seriously studied, and his literacy was limited. He had never been pretentious, even having a somewhat low opinion of himself. He already considered living the good life he had now as a great fortune. He held no higher expectations for the future other than having Wu Lang and Xiao Qi achieve success, while he remained a wealthy landowner, enjoying life with his grandchildren.
Lady Zhang had never dreamed of Lian Shouxin becoming an official either.
