Chapter 108: The First Place...Xiang Chen.

It was a bright and clear day with a cloudless sky. The sun rose and hung brilliantly on the horizon, casting its radiant light.

The educated youths arrived at the rice field early, some still holding books in their hands, stealing a last-minute glance, cramming for the exam.

Close to eight o'clock, Chen Youshan led a group of villagers to the gathering spot. Many villagers brought tables and chairs, preparing them to be used as desks for the educated youths.

Since there were no large vacant houses in the village to serve as an exam venue, and the classrooms were still under construction, they decided to hold the exam directly in the rice field. Chen Youshan directed the villagers to arrange the tables and chairs. The area was spacious, the crowd was small, and the tables and chairs were set far apart, ensuring that even if someone stretched their neck, they wouldn't be able to see what others were writing on their papers.

Once the tables and chairs were set up, Chen Youshan instructed the educated youths to take their seats. A few individuals, such as Jia Wenxing, who were more scheming, had already secured their spots. As soon as Chen Youshan gave the signal, he rushed over to claim his seat, fearing that others might try to snatch it away.

His little scheming was understood by everyone present; it was just a matter of the slight differences in the tables and chairs. After all, not every family had the same type of furniture. Some had been used for a long time, with a few bumps and knocks. When placed on flat ground, they wobbled a bit. Jia Wenxing had already eyed a large and new table, rushing to sit down and claim it for himself.

The educated youths had to maintain some face, especially with so many villagers watching. Even if they shared the same thoughts as Jia Wenxing, they wouldn't make it so obvious. As for Jia Wenxing, he had completely given up, feeling that even the local idlers had more face than him in the village.

The other educated youths exchanged glances and moved forward together, seating themselves in order. After all the educated youths were seated, Chen Youshan stood in front, opened the package of exam papers that he had been holding in his arms, and prepared to distribute them to the educated youths.

As soon as he picked up a sheet of paper, Jia Wenxing suddenly shouted, "Why is he taking the exam with us?"

Chen Youshan looked up, and Jia Wenxing, standing in his place, pointed at Xiang Chen with a disdainful expression. "Why is this little tag-along here? Weren't we supposed to choose from the educated youths? What qualifications does he have to take the exam with us?"

In the past, he spoke with a bit of restraint, but now that he had completely fallen out with Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou, his words became harsher, openly expressing his thoughts, and calling Xiang Chen a tag-along.

Xiang Chen felt displeased and thought to himself, "My brother is happy to let me tag along. What's it to you? That bottle of durian tea wasn't enough to teach you a lesson."

"Jia Wenxing, do you have no shame? You're even arguing with a child," Lin Jiayan said indignantly.

"Don't meddle in other people's business. Mind your own business," Jia Wenxing retorted without hesitation. "You're taking care of him so much; why don't you give up your spot for everyone else?"

"Jia Wenxing, do you want to start a fight?" Gao Yang also stood up, rolling up his sleeves with a fierce expression.

The other educated youths snapped out of their daze, secretly glancing at Xiang Chen. Most remained silent, but a few muttered quietly, agreeing with Jia Wenxing's logic. Among those who didn't speak, some had flickering gazes that were unfriendly towards Xiang Chen.
