Chapter 159
Mr. Lu never expected his youngest son to fight him.

He turned cold instantly.

"You bastard, what do you want to do?"

But Lu Laosi was not afraid and said: "Father, Third Brother is your son, so I am not?"

"I've grown up so much, I don't know anything except farming. There are so many refugees now, I wish I could have food from my master's family, even without wages. Where can I get a long-term job?"

Mr. Lu was taken aback by the words, but Mr. Lu continued his efforts and said: "Brother can read and write, if he doesn't study anymore, even if he works as an accountant, the money he earns can feed and clothe the whole family, isn't it? Is Dad planning to do this?"

"You, what are you talking about? Your eldest brother and Erlang will both take scientific examinations in the future, how can they be accountants?"

Seeing his own father say this, Lu Laosi suddenly changed his face, "If you don't work as a bookkeeper, where will the money for studying come from? Your two elders don't plan to sell their sons and daughters and grandsons, do they?"

"You, you, you bastard, do you want to piss me off?"

Mr. Lu was so angry that his liver hurt, but the eyes of the people around him changed. After all, Mrs. Lu had a criminal record.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Lu Laosi looked unconvinced, and Mrs. Lu quickly pinched her youngest son and said, "You brat, what are you talking about? Our family still has so much fertile land, at least one mu of land is worth more than ten taels of silver. This is a total of twenty-seven acres of land, so you will have to sell it for three hundred taels anyway, where will you be asked to do long-term work? When the time comes to open a shop and you be the shopkeeper, wouldn't it be more leisurely than farming?"

When Lu Laosi heard this, he fell silent.

When the shopkeeper ah?

Something he never thought about.

However, Sifang Xiao Zhou's nose on the side was crooked, and he was beaten when he returned to the room.

"Are you stupid? Do you believe anything my mother says?"

"Still being the shopkeeper, bah, I think once we get the money here, let alone open a shop, I'm afraid we won't even get a dime."

Lu Laosi immediately said after hearing this: "How can you do that?"

"Why not?"

Sifang Xiao Zhou's mind is clear.

"What kind of family is the Zhou family? As far as the virtues of Chang Fang Erlang are concerned, do you think he is good enough for high school? How much can I trust Jing Yuan's child, just his virtues?"

"Pooh--"

"There is still another way to coax the little lady, let's forget about the imperial examination."

"Maybe the one who ran away from Zhou's family was that kid Jing Yuan, who will have a good future and promote their family. It's not necessarily true."

As soon as Lu Laosi heard it, he immediately said: "Then, can that be done?"

"Why not?"

Sifang Xiao Zhou said contemptuously: "That Zhou Mingzhu was the daughter of the Zhou family, but the water poured out by the married daughter is too late for the Zhou family to make a fortune and take care of their relatives. How can they care about a woman in the countryside?" In-laws? They don’t know what to do with the money here.”

"No, the money may not be in their hands."

"Ah? Why is that?"

Lu Laosi looked puzzled, and Sifang Xiao Zhou dragged him over, and said in a low voice with disgust: "Are you stupid? What year is this? Every family is almost out of food. Whose hand?" If you don’t buy grain with the money left in your pocket, who will buy the land that doesn’t produce grain?”

"Then according to what you mean, the land can't be sold?"

Lu Laosi was startled, "If this can't be sold, what about the third brother's injury?"

"Hey, are you really stupid to say you are stupid?"

Sifang Xiao Zhou cast a helpless glance at her man, "Can your great nephew just watch your third brother die?"

"so?"

"So, if you have too much money, you can't sell it, but you can definitely sell the few dozen taels of silver."

After hearing this, Lu Laosi became anxious again, "What's the point of selling it? I think my parents are determined to go to town, if we go along—"

"Don't even think about it, I won't go."

Sifang Xiao Zhou immediately refused, and Lu Laosi wondered, "What's wrong with going to the town? Why don't you go?"

"Why do you say?"

Sifang Xiao Zhou looked out of the window and said: "The elder brother's family has been domineering for so many years. We didn't think much about supporting him before, but since the Dragon Boat Festival, I have seen through them. This family is ruthless. Righteousness, there is no hope at all.”

As soon as what happened during the Dragon Boat Festival was brought up, Lu Laosi stopped eating and said kindly: "Qiao Niang, are you still angry about what happened that day? Didn't Dad regret it too? Mom I also gave you three taels of silver as an apology, look, doesn't it mean that this matter is over?"

"past?"

Sifang Xiao Zhou said with a cold face: "This matter is difficult."

"you--"

But before Lu Lao Si finished speaking, Xiao Zhou continued: "In the past, the second elder brother was the pillar of the family, and we could enjoy the shade under the big tree, but since the second elder brother left, how has life been?"

"Day by day is not as good as day by day."

"right?"

Sifang Xiao Zhou continued, "Even if this is the case, at least the third elder brother is standing in front of him. Now that the third elder brother is also abolished, won't you be the next one?"

"I?"

Lu Laosi froze for a moment, while Sifang Xiao Zhou's abacus was crackling.

"Isn't it you? It sounds good to open a shop in the town, but you're not the only one who suffers at that time? That shop is so easy to open? Don't you know how much money the Changfang family can spend? Why? Let them spend the money we earn? My five and six are also smart, so why don’t my own children donate to others’ children?”

"Even if Erlang is successful in the future, do you think he is filial to his own father, or to you, an uncle?"

"Then you must be filial to your father!"

Lu Laosi answered decisively, and Xiao Zhou immediately said, "That's it. If that's the case, why do we need to count the money for our parents when they sell us?"

"cocoa--"

"But what?"

Sifang Xiao Zhou immediately whispered again: "Based on what I know about Changfang and my father and mother, Jing Yuan only injured his leg and was kicked out by them because of his fame as a scholar. What do you think now? Sanfang father and son are both abolished, will they continue to support them?"

"what do you mean?"

"That's right, daddy said it nicely. He sold the land to see a doctor for brother three. Hmph, I think it's likely that they will be divided up. We just take advantage of this time to divide them up together."

"Huh? Break up?"

"Sh, keep your voice down."

Sifang Xiao Zhou hurriedly said: "I heard that your good niece and daughter-in-law went to the town today and brought back the rice seeds of the five big oxcarts. We heard what they said before. I think it’s good to stay in the village to farm. Even if the harvest is not good, there are fish and shrimps that won’t starve to death. Besides, we still have a tea garden in our hands. Instead of following them to the town, it’s better to stay in the village down-to-earth Come at ease."

"When we save some money on hand, we will let the fifth and sixth graders also enter the school. No, there is a school in our village. Jing Yuan's family is a scholar, and he is not good at teaching. Where can we find such a good thing? go?"

Of course, more importantly, she didn't want to be a slave to others.

She finally understood that the Changfang family was unreliable.

It's a pity that although Lu Laosi also knows the benefits of staying in the village, he still has a heart. After all, the temptation to be a shopkeeper in the town is too great.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhou immediately came up with another plan.

"Let's take a step back and talk about it. If the long house develops in the future, with the degree of Aunt's love for you, will you lose your money? Think about it carefully, we split the family, and all the money we earn is our own. , if life is not going well, you can go to A Niang's place to fight the autumn wind, but if you follow the past, you will really have a bad life, but there is no way out."

"Aniang can sell Qilang from Erfang's family, but how do you know that Wulang and Liulang won't be sold? Even if she doesn't want to part with her grandson, what about our family?"

"When the time comes, we will be under the control of others, and we will not be taught by others?"

Other things are fine, as soon as it concerns children, Lu Lao Si explodes in an instant.

"That can't be done, those are my own sons and daughters—"

The small abacus of the fourth house of the Lu family was clattering, and the long house was not idle. Now they are discussing about selling the land so that they can move to the town and invest in reselling grain.

As for the third room?

Naturally, he was kicked out without any suspense.

pity--

It was really hit by Sifang Xiao Zhou.

Now that everyone can't afford to eat, who would buy land that can't grow food at all with wasted money?

And Xia Xiaoqiao who returned home also frowned.

This fertile land can be said to be the lifeblood of the peasant family. It is the ancestral property, so how can it be sold as soon as it is sold?
"What the hell is this old man deer planning?"

Lu Jingyuan sat under the tree, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea with a light smile, "I guess I'm scared!"

"Scared?"

Xia Xiaoqiao's eyes widened immediately after hearing this and said, "Could they be trying to run away?"

"Run away?"

Lu Jingyuan glanced at her in surprise, then nodded with a broken smile, and took a sip of tea.

"Hey, don't say it, maybe your uncle and the others really have this idea."

Xia Xiaoqiao suddenly remembered what happened in the town today, and told him all about it.

After hearing this, a certain person picked up the tea bowl and frowned, "You mean, Zhou's family started buying a lot of food half a month earlier this week?"

"Yes, and it was suggested by Zhou Mingzhu."

Xia Xiaoqiao took a sip of tea slowly, and Lu Jingyuan looked at her after listening, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

"I started preparations half a month ago and spent such a large price. It seems that I am very determined."

Speaking of this, a certain person looked out of the corner of his eye, "You come from the fairy world, don't you even know?"

puff--

Xia Xiaoqiao almost spit out her tea with a sip.

"Cough, cough cough—"

She coughed and gave someone a hard look, "I'm from the fairy world, so I have to know everything? I'm not a fortune teller."

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan withdrew his gaze, and Xia Xiaoqiao didn't bother to answer his temptation.

"Hey, what are you going to do with your third uncle? His foot injury is not serious. I said that the three or fifty taels of silver is not groundless. If the body is so bad, if you don't take good care of it, you may not live for a few years."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "We can pay this money, but—"

"Don't worry about it, I have my own idea."

"idea?"

Xia Xiaoqiao immediately said: "What's the idea? You don't plan to buy all their land, do you? How much money would it cost?"

Thinking of money made Xia Xiaoqiao feel bad.

"Let me tell you, I don't have any money in my hands now. I went to the town to buy all the rice seeds today."

When it comes to rice seeds, Lu Jingyuan also has a lot of doubts in his heart.

"Where did you buy the rice seeds when there was a food shortage?"

"What do you say?"

Xia Xiaoqiao directly threw the question over, and Lu Jingyuan's face immediately changed.

"Everything in this world has gains and losses, you—"

 See you tomorrow!
