From a freeloader to a world leader

Although he still looked as handsome as ever, his look, expression and conversation became more relaxed and free than that of an adult, much like a scholar who had already made a name for himself.

When walking, the legs are kept straight, the steps are quick and steady, and the distance between each step is almost the same.

Looking closely, there is a certain rhythm to the way he walks and the swing of his arms and thighs.

It is pleasing to the eyes, like looking at a walking painting.

Although he was nearly ten years older than Sun Shan and they were seldom together, he had watched him grow up after all.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. He started to mutter to himself and began to ask questions intentionally or unintentionally.

But no matter what he said, Sun Shan could answer it.

He even recounted some of the funny stories from his childhood in a very vivid way.

After walking for about half an hour, Sun Shan and Sun Bing arrived at Zhangjia Village where Zhang Tiedan was.

At first, many people recognized the brothers Sun Shan and Sun Bing.

Everyone was stunned.

As Sun Bing was a well-known gangster, naturally there were some outstanding people who came to curry favor with him.

Just by wearing the blue scholar's robe, Sun Shan made the people of Zhangjia Village, who seldom saw him, know that it was Tiedan's scholar's brother-in-law who came.

People in this world are extremely particular about family background. Each family has its own dress and clothing. Even the height of the houses they live in and the color of the front doors are differentiated.

"Tiedan's! Tiedan's, your scholar brother is here----"

Sun Yuexiang, who was doing housework in the house, heard a scream outside the house and vaguely heard her brother Sun Shan coming. She panicked and her hands trembled. The wooden basin in her hands fell to the ground with a loud "bang".

This made Tiedan's mother, who was holding her grandson, yell, "Damn you! Are you going to fly to the sky? If something at home is broken, don't you want to buy it for free-----"

"Mom, it seems my brother is here." Sun Yuyue was used to her mother-in-law's roar. She bent down to pick up the basin on the ground while listening to the noise outside.

"Your brother----"

Tiedan's mother curled her lips in disdain: "Didn't you say that your damn brother is dying? Will he still come to see you?"

When Sun Yuexiang heard her mother-in-law say that her brother was dead, she exploded and threw the basin she had just picked up to the ground with a bang: "You are not allowed to say that about my brother, my brother is not dead-----"

"Yo-----"

Seeing his wife dare to smash the pot in front of him, Tiedan's mother's little universe suddenly exploded. With a roar, she put down her grandson and rushed towards his wife: "You bastard, you dare to smash the pot in front of me. If I don't punish you today, you will really go to heaven!"

Just as she was raising her arm to slap her daughter-in-law.

Suddenly, the half-open door made a loud bang, and it hit the door frame like a flying object, shaking back and forth.

Then, a figure in a blue scholar's robe rushed in like a flash: "You old bastard, if you dare to touch my sister, I will kill your whole family!"

I rely on!

Who is it?

In broad daylight, he dared to say that he would kill an entire family.

Just when Tiedan's mother turned her head, a big man with an even more ferocious expression rushed in from behind the blue-robed scholar, holding a big stick in his hand, and hit the jars and cans at the gate with it several times.

Then, he pointed the stick at Tiedan's mother who was still in a daze, and cursed: "You old bastard, dare you touch a hair of my sister? Do you really think there is no one left in my Sun family? If I don't smash your Zhang family today, I won't be called Black Tiger anymore!"

Sun Yuexiang slowly turned around and looked at the young scholar in a blue robe who was standing by the gate and staring at her blankly.

He wiped his eyes in disbelief.

Is this my younger brother?

How come you seem like a different person?

Although, he still looks the same, still so gentle and handsome.

But there was a gleam in his eyes, becoming enthusiastic and flamboyant.

"Shan Ge'er, is that you? Is it really you?"

"Sister, of course it's me. I'm here to see you."

Sun Shan looked at his third sister, Sun Yuexiang, who was only five or six years older than him and in her early twenties. She was once as beautiful as a flower, but now she was not much different from the women in the village. He pulled the corners of his mouth and responded with a sad look.

Then, he slowly walked towards Sun Yuexiang.

"Brother! It's really you. You finally came to see me-----"

Sun Yuexiang screamed and rushed towards her only brother, her face full of joy and tears.

"Sister, I'm sorry I'm late."

Sun Shan reached out and hugged his third sister, then pushed her away a little and shook off his scholar's blue robe: "Sister, did you see that? I passed the exam and became a scholar!"

"Woo--"

Sun Yuexiang looked at her brother's blue robe, and her only brother's sudden warm and friendly appearance. She sobbed and cried, mumbling nonsense: "That's great! My brother finally passed the exam to become a scholar. I knew that my brother is different from others and will become a high-ranking official in the future!"

"Haha, sister, it's too early to be happy. I'm still a scholar now, and it's still a long way to go for me to become an official, but------" As he said this, Sun Shan turned his eyes to Tiedan's mother who was already frightened.

The corners of his mouth drooped, his eyes were like nails as he looked down and said: "However, it is more than enough to deal with a butcher like you."

Sun Shan walked up to Zhang Tiedan's mother and asked, "Who called me a dead ghost just now? Who said they wanted to punish my sister? My sister came to your Zhang family and gave birth to two children for you. Is this how you, the Zhang family, behave and act?"

After hearing these words, Zhang Tiedan's mother, who was always aggressive but had little knowledge, finally came to her senses.

He looked at Sun Shan's brand new blue scholar's robe, and then looked at Sun Bing, who looked ferocious and was holding a big stick, as if he was ready to start a fight if they disagreed.

He slapped himself hard a few times and said, "Shan'er, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I can't control my mouth. I didn't expect that you have passed the imperial examination and become a master now. You will not bear grudges against me."

Then, she pitifully pulled Sun Yuexiang who was standing next to her, picked up her grandson who was babbling and could not speak yet, and said with a bitter face: "Tiedan's family, talk to your scholar brother. We are all family, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises. It will not be good if the relationship is really hurt."

Sun Yuexiang had been married to the Zhang family for ten years. This was the first time she saw her mother-in-law bowing to her. Thinking of the grievances and tortures she had suffered in the past, she wished she could tear the old thing in front of her to pieces.

But after all, they still had to live together, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart, and pulled Sun Shan's arm with tears and laughter: "Shan'er, my mother-in-law has already known that she was wrong, just let her go, she will change in the future."

Of course Sun Shan knew that this was the only way. He couldn't really beat her up.

However, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

"Okay, for my sister's sake, I'll spare you this time. If I hear you treat my sister badly again, I'll let your Zhang family know what the darkness of life is."

As he spoke, he shook his blue scholar robe again, showing off deliberately: "I, Sun Shan, am only sixteen years old this year, and I am already a scholar. In another two or three years, or another three or five years, it shouldn't be difficult for me to pass the exam and become a juren or jinshi, right?"

As he spoke, he leaned forward with a handsome face and said in a sinister voice, "When I, Sun Shan, become an official, if you treat my sister badly, do you know what the result will be?"

These words frightened Zhang Tiedan's mother so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, Sun Shan is only sixteen years old now. It is entirely possible for him to pass the imperial examination and become a government official in the future.

Then aren’t we, the butchers, just like tiny ants?

However, if you handle your relationship with your daughter-in-law well and try to curry favor with her, wouldn't you also be successful?

"Hehe, of course. Brother Shan will at least be a county magistrate in the future. Your sister will be the one in charge of our Zhang family. We will do whatever she says. We are all family, no matter who you are or who I am."

Sun Shan looked at Tiedan's mother, who was trying to please him with a smile on her old face as blooming as a chrysanthemum, and felt deeply moved.

He nodded helplessly: "Okay, as long as you know what to do, I'll come to inform my sister this time. On the first day of May, the clan will hold a celebration party for me and let her go home to celebrate."

"Okay, I'll ask your sister and brother-in-law to come over early to drink. This is the scholar's celebratory wine, and it's rare to get to drink it once in a lifetime."

"Okay, it's settled. You know how to tell my brother-in-law, right? Tell him how to behave? If you don't know, I'll let my sixth brother teach him------"

As he spoke, Sun Shan nodded to Sun Bing who was standing behind him.

I saw Sun Bing holding a big stick in the yard and swinging it up and down with great vigor.
