Nongmen eldest sister-in-law: spoiled by six villain uncles

Chapter 69
"Fourth, there is a bookstore in front, do you want to go in and buy some books?"

Gu Zining pointed to the signboard selling books in front of him and read.

"The Number One Scholar Bookstore!"

"You can read?"

Gong Qianyu looked at Gu Zining in front of her in a little surprise.

Gu Zining: "..."

Should she not know how to read?
Think about it!suddenly realized.

"Oh! Oh! My parents wanted me to marry into a rich family before. My parents have found someone to teach me what the lady of the rich family has learned."

Gu Zining didn't make up these words, it was true.

It's just that Gu Zining was spoiled by her parents before, and she only knew a little about everything, so the person who came to teach her ran away within a few days.

Hearing this, Gong Qianyu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, looking at Gong Qianliu from the corner of her eyes.

As Gong Qianyu expected, after hearing Gu Zining's words, Gong Qianliu's heart was greatly touched.

So, she was really wronged to marry their elder brother?
He didn't know what state of mind he was in right now, the bitterness in his mouth seemed to be terribly bitter, and it seemed that there was a big stone in his heart that made him unable to breathe.

Gu Zining, who was in front of him, felt the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and was shocked.

Did she drop her vest again?

In just a short while, Gong Qianyu had already entered the bookstore and picked out the books.

"Thousand Characters?"

Gu Zining looked at the book in Gong Qianyu's hand, narrowed his eyes and said.

It is said that Gong Qianyu has already passed the Tongsheng exam, isn't the Thousand-Character Essay something an enlightened student should learn?

Is it possible to learn the new by reviewing the past?
"Yeah! Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu could be enlightened as early as two or three years ago, and Xiao Qi will reach the age of enlightenment in half a year. Buy a thousand-character essay and let them study at home."

Following Gong Qianyu's explanation, Gong Qianzhu and Gong Qiannuo expressed no objection.

The two happily agreed.

When it comes to Gong Qianlin, it will be difficult.

He was working hard on the candied haws, but when he heard that he was about to read, the unfinished candied haws in his hand instantly tasted bad.

He retorted with a bitter face, "Fifth brother and Xiaoqi just learn, I don't want to study, I want to make money, I don't have time."

Take a look!

This reason can be found.

Just as Gong Qianyu was about to speak, Gu Zining took a step ahead and gave Gong Qianlin a slap on the back of the head.

Anyway, she was used to being beaten, so Gong Qianlin was not afraid at all.

"Why are you beating me? There are four brothers and five brothers in the family, and it is enough for Xiao Qi to study. I am not a material for studying. I am responsible for making money."

"It's you."

Gu Zining glared at him ferociously, annoyed at his unpromising appearance.

"Does the family need you to make money? Your second brother and third brother are decorations? They can't do it, and there is my sister-in-law. Let me ask you, there is still a month until the eel is finished, and I plan to let you raise chickens. You don't know how to read. , You don’t even know if there is one less chicken.”

"What? You asked me to raise chickens?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Qianlin quit.

She gave the third brother the matter of harvesting eels, so she let him raise chickens?

"What? No?"

"No! I don't want chickens."

Gong Qianlin firmly refused.

"You can't do it if you don't want it. It's something I've decided. Unless you study hard, I might be able to change your career for you."

Gong Qianlin was furious.

Why does she always want to let him study?
"I don't like reading, I doze off when I see a book."

"Read even if you don't like it. If you don't want to read, I'll give you another thing you like to do. By then, you won't know a single word, and you won't even know you've been cheated."

"This……"

Gong Qianlin was caught in a dilemma, knowing that she was right, but he couldn't find the right words to refute.

I was so angry that I wanted to tear down this bookstore.

Seeing Gong Qianlin's unwillingness, Gong Qianzhu persuaded her.

"She's right. Even if we don't learn anything else, at least we can recognize and write our own names, right? When the elder brother was here, didn't he just hope that we would not be illiterate? Look at the six of us, except my body It’s not good that Xiaoqi is too young to go to school, but the eldest brother sent you to school. Besides, you are going to be a big businessman in the future, how can you not know how to read?”

Speaking of big businessmen.

After Gu Zining's first family meeting ended, Gong Qianlin announced it to her brothers and sisters.

"He's the only one who doesn't know a single word, and he's still a big businessman? I don't think it's a dream."

Gu Zining made a run on after Gong Qianzhu said.

Gong Qianlin retorted sharply, "What is a dream? Don't look down on people, isn't it just reading? What's the problem?"

"You said it yourself, don't go back on your word."

"Never regret it."

Before Gong Qianlin finished speaking, laughter came from all around.

It was only then that he realized that he practiced Gu Zining's aggressive method.

Angrily stomped his feet and ran away.

"Don't run too far, we don't care if you lose it."

Behind him, Gu Zining spoke with a smile, like a devil.

She knew how to bully him!
When she got angry, Gong Qianlin stopped and ignored anyone.

Seeing that Gong Qianlin stopped running away, Gu Zining said to Gong Qianyu again, "Just buy one book? Don't you want to buy some of your own books?"

This era is not like her era. Books are distributed uniformly by the school. The books here are bought in bookstores from families with good conditions. Those from poor families ask their classmates to take the books and copy them by themselves.

"No! I can ask my classmates to borrow and copy, and I can review my homework in advance and practice my calligraphy."

Gong Qianyu knew the situation at home, he borrowed all his books from his classmates and copied them.

"That won't work! You have to have what others have."

As he spoke, Gu Zining pushed Gong Qianyu into the bookstore.

"No matter how hard or poor your family is, you still have money for your studies."

"Yes! Fourth brother, you can study at ease and leave the money to me."

Gong Qianlin, who was standing at the door, puffed out her small chest and spoke plausibly when she heard the words.

After hearing this, Gong Qianliu took a step forward and said, "It's about making money at home, and third brother, you can study at ease."

It meant that he was going to talk to her.

The eyes of the two brothers met, and after giving them a look that only they understood each other, Gong Qianyu nodded and took a few books again.

While Gong Qianyu was going to pick up books, Gu Zining bought some more pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

There are more people in the family who need to read and write, and more pens, ink, paper and inkstones need to be prepared.

"It's 13 taels in total, if you buy too much, just give 13 taels!"

I have to say that ancient books are really expensive. Four books, two inkstones, three brushes, and half a dozen papers cost 13 taels.

No wonder it is said that reading in ancient times was difficult, but these 13 taels are enough for ordinary people to chew for a year.

However, it was all for the sake of a few uncles in the family, and Gu Zining paid the money without feeling distressed at all.

After buying the books, the few of them strolled around the street again, and when it was time for Gong Qianlin to get off the rice field eel, they returned home unsatisfied.

"Second brother, you can go hunting eels with me today! Let's go out of the city to fish. There are many ditches outside the city, so we must fish more."

On the way home, Gong Qianlin had made the arrangements for Gong Qianfan very clear.

"No! You can do it yourself, my second brother, I have other things for him to do."

Just as Gong Qianfan nodded, Gu Zining retorted.

"OK then!"

As soon as he heard that his second brother had other things to do, Gong Qianlin didn't force him, seeing that he didn't have enough time, he hurried home.

doorstep.

A boy sat on the threshold of their house, looking very embarrassed.

"Liu Qiming..."

"Benefactor! You are back."

The boy was Liu Qiming from Liujia Village.

I saw him standing up with ragged clothes, unkempt face and dull eyes.

It may be that I have been sitting for too long, and standing up is a stagger.

Gong Qianlin ran fast and stepped forward to support him.
