Dressed as the heroine of the farming novel and the best relative

Chapter 15 It’s so shameless

Xiang Xi pretended not to understand, plucked his ears and said, "Don't say those fancy words that people can't understand. Just tell me how much you earn and how much you can share with me."

"I earn a tael of silver and I'll give you a penny." Liu Yuanyuan looked at her with an expression that showed you were taking advantage.

One tael of silver is worth one thousand penny, and one thousandth of it is naturally one penny.

"I invest money for you, and you only give me a penny after you make one tael of silver. Do you think it's okay to say it yourself?" Xiang Xi rolled her eyes. She was so stingy that she didn't even want to invest money. "I save money. It’s better than giving it to you.”

"How can you be so greedy? We are a family. Isn't it right for you to help me? If the bank is willing to lend me money, do I still need to find you?"

"Liu Yuanyuan, I find you are very shameless. What you said is like you treat us as relatives only when you have problems that you can't solve. When there are no problems, we are enemies." Xiang Xi looked at her up and down, his eyes full of contempt.

Sure enough, Liu Yuanyuan couldn't stand her look. She slapped the table and stood up in a flash, "You just came to see my joke, right? I know you are not good-hearted. Leave quickly. When I make money later, If you want me to share it with you, dream!”

Xiang Xi said with a smile, "Hey, why do I need you to give me money? I have my husband to support me. Don't worry, I can live a good life without doing anything. Just go and get busy."

"You don't know how to make progress. If you are like this, you will be fired sooner or later. I'm waiting to see your fate." Liu Yuanyuan was so angry that she gushed out and had another quarrel with Xiang Xi.

"That's really embarrassing, my life is good." Xiang Xi said back.

Liu Yuanyuan looked down on Xiang Xi more and more. She felt that she was a capable woman who only wanted to live off men. She just wanted to start a business and make money so that she could slap Xiang Xi in the face and show her what she was capable of. After the quarrel, she So I left home and went to think of ways to find capital.

Xiang Xi didn't take Liu Yuanyuan's words to heart at all. She was so self-centered that it was normal for her to say these things.

She was going back to her house to rest. When she passed by Gao Yun's house, she saw him writing furiously inside. Xiang Xi curiously walked to the window to take a look, only to see Gao Yun copying the book rigorously. His handwriting was beautiful and there was no ink. Tuan, the content copied is the common Three Character Classic.

"Third brother." Xiang Xi had some ideas and called him softly.

Gao Yun stopped in a hurry, almost destroying half of the book he had just copied. He raised his head and asked, "Sister-in-law? Do you have anything to do with me?"

"How much does this manuscript of yours cost?" Xiang Xi asked.

Gao Yun didn't know why, so he answered honestly, "Three hundred essays per book."

"I want to buy some manuscripts, learn a little bit of writing, and have your elder brother learn from me when I have time. You can't be a scholar. Your elder brother can't read a word. How can he continue to support your studies in the future?" Xiang Xi said casually.

Gao Yun stammered, very shocked, "Sister-in-law, don't you dislike me spending a lot of money on my studies?"

"Why do you dislike it? Your family can change the family when you are a scholar. When you are admitted as a scholar, your family's land will be tax-free. Just because of your reputation as a scholar, no outsider will easily bully us. Besides, if you don't study, our family will only be a member of the family for the rest of your life. There is no point in working hard for the common people. If the family cannot make money and has problems with food and clothing, it is true that you should not go to school extravagantly, but this is obviously not the case at home. You can just study with peace of mind. Relax, you just think, study. Just make more money." Xiang Xi looked at his pitiful eyes with some sympathy. The child must have been frightened by Liu Yuanyuan's attitude towards seduction in the past few days.

Gao Yun's eyes slowly lit up, "Sister-in-law, thank you, I will study hard." "Actually, the experience of these few days is also good for you. After all, even if you don't experience it at home, you will encounter some things in the school that affect your mood. If you have a good attitude, you will be more stable during the exam. You will not be so nervous that you forget all the knowledge as soon as you arrive at the exam center. You still have to learn."

"Sister-in-law, you are right, I thought wrongly." Gao Yun blushed a little and looked at Xiang Xi with a somewhat surprised look. He was curious about the change in her temperament and the remarks he had never thought of before.

"You're going to town to study tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, I will go to school tomorrow." Gao Yun nodded and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, I will give it to you after I finish copying the Three-Character Sutra. I don't need much money to copy it myself. I only need to spend some paper money, which is better than buying a book." It’s much more appropriate to buy it in the store.”

In the evening, Xiang Xi got the Three-Character Classic copied by Gao Yun. She insisted on giving him money for the book, which was indeed much cheaper. Gao Yun insisted that his sister-in-law bought the Three-Character Classic because she wanted to help him, and privately found an opportunity to drag Goldman to stutter. He said a lot of words of thanks.

Goldman Sachs returned to the house after cleaning up and saw Xiang Xi already lying on the bed. He walked over to sit down beside the bed and asked, "Xiao Xi, why did you ask your third brother to buy the Three Character Classic?"

Xiang Xi smiled and said, "Of course I want to be literate. I see my second younger brother and sister can both write during the day. I can't let her have a chance to show off in front of me. Besides, since I'm so smart, I will definitely learn to read quickly, so sir, Are you tired? Let’s check it out first.”

Goldman Sachs stretched out his hand and pressed her forehead to help the excited woman lie down. "It's already dark today. Using an oil lamp at night is not good for your eyes. If you want to learn how to read, come back tomorrow."

"Oh, sir, are you literate?" Xiang Xi and him were lying on their backs. It was still early and they couldn't sleep at all, so they just communicated with each other.

Goldman Sachs lay beside him politely, "I know some of them, but I haven't read the Three Character Classic before. I only know some names of medicinal materials."

"Then my husband, can you write?"

"No, it's not written on paper."

"Then let's start practicing calligraphy and reading together tomorrow. It happens to be a leisurely farm period in winter and we have time, so as not to be deceived by others if we go out illiterate in the future. After all, it is a good thing to increase our knowledge." Xiang Xi is very positive.

Goldman Sachs only said, "Literacy is no problem, but practicing calligraphy is a waste of paper, ink, pen and inkstone."

"It doesn't matter, I still have three taels of silver, which is enough for us to buy some ordinary paper, ordinary brushes, and the cheapest ink sticks." Xiang Xi said hurriedly.

"Three taels of silver? You didn't cooperate with the second younger brother and sister?" Goldman Sachs was a little surprised.

Xiang Xi rolled her eyes first, "She is too stingy and insincere. She only gives me one penny after she earns a thousand taels. According to this calculation, she has to earn 1000 taels before she gives me one tael. I want to take three taels of silver." She will earn 3000 taels when she comes back!"

"Three thousand taels doesn't mean anything. Our family will never earn that much in our lifetime. She is simply trying to trick me. I have to agree to it."

Goldman frowned, as if he didn't expect such grudges. He heard Xiang Xi huffing, thought for a moment, reached out and patted her back, "It's okay, don't be angry, you can keep your money for yourself, second brother and sister." It is my second brother who has to take care of things. Don’t you want to be literate? Go to bed early and we will be together tomorrow morning.”
