"Our family's eldest grandson is the national top scorer in the college entrance exam!"
"Don't keep saying 'our family's eldest grandson'! Besides, the child's achievement as the top scorer has nothing to do with us, does it?"

"Stop making excuses. Neither you, nor I, nor the eldest brother did anything for that child, so don't expect to stand in front of him today and say anything. The only thing we can do, and should do, is not to bring him any trouble."
