THE MIGHTIEST LITTLE PEASANT

141-150

Chapter 141

Tang Bowen could not believe it. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look.

  Was that not his younger cousin brother, Tang Hao?

  The realization had given him a shock.

  They were at Z University: Province Z’s best university and one of the top-ranked colleges in Huaxia. That younger cousin brother of his was expelled when he was in his second year of high school. There was no chance that he could have enrolled in college, so why was he there?

  The young woman next to him noticed how stunned he looked and asked, “What’s wrong, Bowen?”

  “I just saw someone I know!” He replied.

  Then, he walked toward Tang Hao and said loudly, “Hey! Isn’t this Younger Cousin Brother? Why are you here?”

  The tone of his voice and his expression were somewhat mocking.

  He was not very fond of Tang Hao. His younger cousin brother had better academic results than him in elementary school and junior high. The other villagers had always compared them.

  Because of that, he hated Tang Hao since they were kids.

  Now that he was a student of Z University and an academic elite with a bright future, Tang Hao had messed up his life. He did not even have a high school diploma. That meant that he could only find menial work and live hand to mouth.

  In Tang Bowen’s eyes, his younger cousin brother was useless.

  He assumed an air of superiority when he looked at Tang Hao.

  “Younger cousin brother? So he’s a relative of yours!” The young woman exclaimed. “Is he a student of Z University too? I’ve never heard you mention him before.”

  Tang Bowen chuckled and said, “How can he be a student here? He didn’t even graduate high school!”

  “What?” The young woman was surprised.

  “He was a hooligan in high school and was expelled for fighting. He doesn’t even have the qualifications to take the entrance exam.” Tang Bowen mocked.

  The young woman furrowed her brows. Her gaze upon Tang Hao was filled with condescension.

  The two other couples were also looking at him with a similar sentiment.

  They felt superior as students of Z University and looked down upon hooligans of their age who were uneducated and picked fights.

  Tang Bowen continued, “His family is from the mountain village and has always been poor, while my family has moved into Provincial City.”

  The people frowned when they heard that, and they looked even more condescending than ever.

  “So, he’s a poor kid from a mountain village!”

  “And he’s a hooligan too!” They mumbled among themselves.

  They confirmed their suspicions as they examined Tang Hao’s appearance.

  “Look at his plain and shabby clothes! And that phone in his hands too. Oh my god! It’s already an antique and he’s still using it!” A young woman whispered and looked at him with disgust.

  “Bowen, I didn’t expect that you have a relative like that,” one of the boys said.

  “Bowen, I’ve heard that those relatives from mountain villages are hard to handle. Don’t tell me he’s here to ask you for money!” Another boy said.
