Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm - Chapter 126
126 How Can They Not be Jealous?
According to her observation, Qing’er learned very quickly.
When she was free, she would teach Qing’er addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and he learned them very quickly.
His ability to draw inferences was even stronger than Liang Chengcai’s. He was a typical top student.
For such a top student, he would learn other things very quickly. It was perfect to send him to the academy.
!!
In addition, Qing’er was still young, and he should be studying at this age.
“To enter Qingyun Academy, you have to be tested by the headmaster. Huaiyu is on leave today. You and Xiaozhi can ask him for advice later.” The village chief smiled.
Everyone was surprised.
It was said that Li Huaiyu of the village chief’s family was also highly regarded by the teachers in Qingyun Academy, and he would also take the exam next year.
Many went to Li Huaiyu, hoping to get some advice, but they always refused.
But this time, the village chief actually agreed to let Li Huaiyu guide the two scholars of the Liu family.
The Liu family had really caught the village chief’s attention.
For a moment, everyone’s opinion of the Liu family improved.
They didn’t expect that after leaving the Lin family, they would actually get better.
The Lin family was shocked and angry, especially Jiang Shi and Deng Shi.
After the Liu family cut ties with the Lin family, they fought about Lin Yuanshan’s expenses.
The result was that his monthly allowance was reduced from 6 taels to 3 taels. Then, if he couldn’t pass the exam next year, it would reduce to 1 tael. Then, Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang, Dashan, and Xiaoshan would all go to the academy.
They were not completely satisfied with the result.
The 3 taels taken from Lin Yuanshan’s monthly allowance could at least send two more children to the academy.
However, their mother-in-law and father-in-law refused to send two of their children to the academy on the grounds that it was unfair.
They even said that they wanted to keep the money in case Llin Yuanshan might need the money to pass the exam.
Hence, it was no different from before. However, they did not dare to make a scene.
After all, they had already given it their all for so many years, and it was going to be the last time.
If they offended Lin Yuanshan at this final moment, and if he really passed the exam next year, then all the efforts would be in vain.
With such thoughts in mind, they agreed.
They thought that it would be the last time anyway. If Lin Yuanshan did not pass, the children in the family could also go to the academy next year.
If he did, he would remember everything they had done for him.
But what’s the situation at the moment?
The Liu family wanted to send Lin Xiaozhi and Xiao Qing to the academy, and it was the best one in town, Qingyun Academy.
How could they not be jealous?
They left the Lin family, but now they had a big house, good food and clothes.
Not only was Liu Shi going to send her son, but also a slave to the academy!
But what about them? Just like before, the whole family provided for Lin Yuanshan, wearing patched clothes, eating simple meals, and going to the fields every day.
Not only did their children not go to the academy, they also had to work in the fields.
Would it be better if they had been separated? They would manage their own money and send their children to the academy if they wanted to. They didn’t have to live such a miserable life anymore!
That’s right, if they had separated earlier, not only would they have had better food and clothing, but they might have also sent their children to the academy. Perhaps the children would have already passed the exam and become a scholar.
Thinking of what their sons had said to them, that they would definitely do better than their fifth uncle in school, Deng Shi and Jiang Shi felt even worse.
