During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 22 Need to buy a car

Luo Tingye sat on the big stone on the roadside and patted the seat next to Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao sat down with a pouted mouth and expressed her worries, "But other towns are too far away from the village. I'm worried that I won't be able to get back in one day."

Jiang Hu's illness has not recovered yet. I heard that because he was injured, the carpenter's shop in the town opened him up. The second uncle and second aunt must have put this debt on the eldest brother's head, and maybe they were watching behind his back. If she goes back late, it won't be safe for the eldest brother to be alone at home!
"It's not as simple as buying a carriage. We will also need a carriage when we go to the county seat."

Jiang Miao glared at him. He had been talking about buying a carriage these days, but a carriage cost 20 taels of silver. How could she treat her eldest brother if the money was all spent, so she never let go.

Luo Tingye advised earnestly: "It's only 20 taels of silver. With a car, you can deliver Flumi to nearby towns, and you will definitely earn more and more money. This is called improving efficiency, not spending money indiscriminately. "

Luo Tingye calculated an account for Jiang Miao. If they didn't buy a carriage, it might take them a year to earn enough travel expenses at the current rate of making money. But if they bought a carriage, the transportation volume would be greatly increased, and they would be able to make money in less than two months. The family was able to collect the travel expenses.

Although the number was very tempting, Jiang Miao did not agree immediately. She was still hesitant, mainly because she was worried that she would not be able to earn back the money she spent.
Luo Tingye was not angry either. After spending this time together, he felt that he had completely figured out Jiang Miao. As expected, she would definitely buy a carriage in the next two days.

When she returned to the village, she saw a group of people gathered in front of her house from afar. Jiang Miao's face turned cold and she rushed over anxiously, followed closely by Luo Tingye.

The onlookers immediately moved out of the way when they saw the two men, "Ah Miao is back, don't go in yet, Uncle Wu is cursing."

There were those who tipped off the news, and there were also those who were gloating about the misfortune, "Uncle Wu is angry that the children are wasting time by practicing calligraphy with your brother. He is cursing people inside, and he also said that he wants to cancel the clan school."

The speaker's children don't study. Whenever I see other people's children studying, I feel uncomfortable. The main reason is that the clan education has been cancelled, so children in the whole village don't have to study. It's fair to everyone.

Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a curse and not a beating. If it was a beating, the elder brother would definitely suffer, but if it was a curse, it is not certain who would suffer.

After squeezing through the crowd, he saw the children kneeling neatly on the ground. Uncle Jiang scolded angrily with an unkind look on his face, "If each one of them doesn't learn well, what future will they have?"

"If you don't want to study anymore, go back as soon as possible and tell your parents that you don't have to go to school anymore. You can just sit in the fields and run around all your life."

"Some people should not be too complacent. They think that after studying for a few years and being able to write well, they will be able to bear it. Little do they know that there are people out there who have a bright future. If they are too complacent, sooner or later, they will fall down."

As Uncle Jiang spoke, he glanced at Jiang Qian, who was standing aside on a crutch.

Jiang Qian never opened his mouth to defend himself from beginning to end, but this made Uncle Jiang Wu feel that his punch on cotton was very powerless.

The children in the yard were scolded by Uncle Jiang and cried repeatedly. The parents were anxious outside the door, but they did not dare to go in and disturb them.

Uncle Jiang Wu is the best at reading in the village. Even the clan leader is usually a bit polite to him. In addition, he is the teacher of the children, so everyone is usually a little afraid of him. This is the first time they have seen him so angry. .

"Studying is not just for a while, it is for a lifetime. You are thinking about making money now that you have just learned a little bit. This is absolutely unacceptable. Doing so will destroy the foundation. Do you know?"

Uncle Jiang Wu changed the topic and said angrily to Jiang Qian: "Jiang Qian, you didn't learn well back then and you were kicked out of the school by me. Then something happened, and now you are here to harm your brothers in the clan."

Jiang Qian looked calm, "Fifth Uncle, I don't understand this. Why didn't I learn it well in the first place?"

Uncle Jiang Wu didn't like the tone of his voice very much. All the students studying in ethnic studies were respectful, but Jiang Qian was the only one who showed no respect every time he saw him.

Now he has snatched away all the students in the clan school, and he clearly does not take him as a teacher seriously.

Uncle Jiang Wu flicked his sleeves and pointed a finger at him, "It was you who didn't study hard back then. You copied books for the bookstore all day long, and it even affected your classmates' mood for studying. Isn't it your fault?" "But in the end, I passed the exam. I became a scholar, but others did not. This shows that copying books does not affect my grades. On the contrary, in the process of copying books, I can also learn knowledge that I have not learned in school. This is what Wu Shu Shouldn’t we reflect on ourselves?”

Uncle Jiang Wu's expression suddenly changed and he shouted loudly, "Jiang Qian, are you accusing me? Is this how you talk to your elders?"

"I'm just telling a fact. In the past two years, let alone a scholar, he has not even appeared in Tongsheng Village. Shouldn't Uncle Wu reflect on his teaching methods?"

The parents looked at each other and thought about it. Who would send their children to school and not want their children to get ahead?

Uncle Jiang Wu glared at him angrily, his face turned pale with anger, and his breathing became heavy, "You...you..."

This is simply murderous and will destroy his foundation.

He had said at the beginning that this child was incompatible with him, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.

Uncle Jiang was so angry that he was shaking.

Luo Tingye patted Jiang Miao, who didn't respond, "Hurry up and get there."

"Why did I go there?"

Is it okay to feel dizzy?
"Scholars value reputation. After all, this person is your eldest brother's enlightenment teacher. If word spreads that your eldest brother fainted with his enlightenment teacher, it will be difficult for him to become an official in the court in the future."

Jiang Miao didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so she quickly pushed aside the crowd, ran in, and supported Uncle Jiang Wu who was about to fall.

"Fifth Uncle, drink tea."

Uncle Jiang calmed down and felt better, then he heard Jiang Miao say: "Uncle Wu, my eldest brother is just making a suggestion. If you don't listen to it, that's your own problem. You can't rely on my eldest brother if you are angry. There are so many There are people testifying!”

Uncle Jiang Wu: "..."

Luo Tingye patted his head. This silly girl was really smart when she was smart, but she could also kill people if she was stupid.

Uncle Jiang was shaking with anger and his face turned into a purple eggplant.

Fortunately, I didn't faint in the end.

At this time, the leader of the Jiang clan arrived, criticized all the juniors, and asked people to send Uncle Jiang back in a good manner.

Before leaving, Uncle Jiang Wu said harshly, "If you are wasting your time like this, you don't need to come to school to study."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Qian coldly and left.

The students were hesitant, but the parents were frightened by Uncle Jiang's words. In their minds, Uncle Jiang was more powerful.
