Chapter 115 Where Can I Find Two Taels of Silver?
Wu Xiulian curled her lips in disapproval when she heard this. In her opinion, Xu Ruqing just came from a better background than her, and she didn't deserve her attention at all.

"I want to entertain you, I don't have the time to serve cats and dogs."

Wu Xiulian played with the two strands of dry hair on her chest proudly, as if she had thought of something, she said: "By the way, mother, the teacher in the school has urged me to pay tuition fees many times, when will your two taels of silver be paid?" Give me?"

Mentioning this gave Aunt Wu a headache.

Aunt Wu became a widow at a young age, and her husband did not leave her a son and a half daughter. In this feudal and backward era, a woman cannot remarry after her husband dies, so this miserable woman is doomed to live alone. Wuyi, she has been alone for the next ten years.

Until one winter, when it was snowing heavily and it was colder than now, a newborn baby girl appeared at her door for no reason.

Wu Xiulian was overjoyed. She was glad that she still had the chance to reverse her destiny in her thirties.Although Wu Xiulian is not her own, she still loves her as her own daughter.She gave her all her love without hesitation, and she was counting on Wu Xiulian to provide for her in the future.

Because of Wu Xiulian's appearance, rumors soon spread in the village, and some even ridiculed her for picking up a lost money as a treasure.In order to prevent people in the village from chewing their tongues and saying that she is an "extreme household", she gritted her teeth and sent Wu Xiulian to study in a private school in the town. She hoped that Wu Xiulian could study and become a talent like a man, so as to stop Youyou's mouth, and herself Can also be stained.

But private school is not cheap!One year's tuition fee is ten taels of silver, plus other seventy-eight eighty-eight eighty-eighth expenses, a lot of money is spent on Wu Xiulian in one year.You must know that one tael of silver is equivalent to half a year's expenses for an ordinary family, and Wu Xiulian's mouth is two taels of silver, which is embarrassing for a mother like her!

Aunt Wu put down the sieve in her hand, and then came to Wu Xiulian and said kindly: "Xiulian, it's not that mother doesn't want to give it to you, it's that mother really can't afford so much money! Two months ago, mother sold the land. I gave you all the silver you got, and you don’t know how to save some money... Hey, now you ask me for money, where can I find two taels of silver for you?!"

Wu Xiulian didn't feel guilty at all, and she blamed Aunt Wu instead: "You have the nerve to say, how can the little money you give me be enough for me!? It's not like you don't know that the consumption in the town is high. Money doesn't satisfy me at all."

"I don't care, if you don't give me money today, I won't read this book!" Wu Xiulian stomped her feet and turned away from her.

"Hey, Xiulian, you're trying to force me to death!" Aunt Wu sighed, her eyes full of helplessness and involuntary control.

Seeing her mother's sad face, Wu Xiulian thought to herself that she really had no money.

Suddenly, she had an idea, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Didn't you say that the person surnamed Xu is very rich? Otherwise, you can go and borrow some money from her, and say that it will be deducted from your salary and paid in advance for emergencies." .”

"This... I'm afraid it's not good." Aunt Wu looked a little embarrassed.

When she sold the land last time, she didn't report the real situation of the land to Xu Ruqing because she was greedy for money, which caused Xu Ruqing to almost suffer a lawsuit from the magistrate Mo. She felt very guilty about this. When she saw Xu Ruqing today, she didn't know how to face to her.

Fortunately, Xu Ruqing, the prime minister, can hold a boat in his belly, so he doesn't care about this matter with her. Otherwise, if she pursues it, she will definitely pay her a lot of money, not to mention that she has lost her job!

"Do you still think of me as your daughter? If you want me to continue studying, you must go!" Wu Xiulian was not a suggestion this time, but an order.

Aunt Wu's heart was broken, that's all, the confession has been made until now, how can there be any reason to give up halfway?She can't suffer her children even if she suffers, she still counts on her embroidery lotus to get fame in the exam!
"Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to her later, I hope she can agree."

After receiving the promise, Wu Xiulian finally smiled happily. She took Aunt Wu's arm affectionately, and said coquettishly, "I knew that mother was the best for me!"

"Okay, stop coaxing me with sweet words. If you have the time, it's better to learn a few words and go back to your room to study." Regarding her daughter's snobbery, Aunt Wu felt a little chilled, and her tone could not help being a little cold.

But Wu Xiulian didn't notice her strangeness, and happily agreed: "Okay, then I'll go back."

Aunt Wu ignored her, but picked up the sieve again and entered the main room.

Wu Xiulian bouncing towards her room, just as she opened the door to enter the room, a voice interrupted her.

"Xiulian."

Wu Xiulian looked back, isn't Ma Tianlun such a fool!
She gets a lot of benefits from Ma Tianlun on weekdays. Although she despises him in her heart, she has to put on a gentle and kind appearance in order to get the benefits. "Brother Ma, it's you."

Ma Tianlun scratched his head shyly. He approached Wu Xiulian with some embarrassment, and said, "Xiulian, how are you doing with your studies recently? Are you getting used to life in the town? Also, are you short of money? Just now I seem to have heard you and Aunt Wu talking about money."

Wu Xiulian was startled when she heard the words, Ma Tianlun had listened to the conversation between her and her mother just now, Ma Tianlun wouldn't look down on him because of this, would he?
"You heard everything?"

Ma Tianlun nodded honestly: "I happened to be passing by, so I didn't eavesdrop on purpose."

Wu Xiulian immediately put on a cute and pitiful look. "Brother Ma, do you think I'm the kind of person who sells my mother for glory?"

Ma Tianlun shook his head hastily: "No, no, I don't miss you that much..." His voice became smaller and smaller.

What he overheard just now really surprised him. The Xiulian in his impression was a gentle and gentle girl, definitely not as domineering as she was just now.

When Wu Xiulian heard this, she looked at Ma Tianlun affectionately, every look piercing his heart.

She took out Xijuan from her bosom and gently wiped away the tears that didn't exist on her face. "I did this as a last resort. You know, my mother wanted me to get a good grade in the exam, but the cost of studying is too high. I had to do this."

Ma Tianlun couldn't see Wu Xiulian weeping sadly. In his heart, she has always been like a fairy, and she is also very capable, and she is no worse than men of the same age in school.He had always admired her.

He immediately softened his heart, and secretly blamed himself for being too petty, for not being considerate of her difficulties.
