Space farmer girl: I hoarded food and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 64 64 Tell the truth
"And even if he is selected as a scholar, the real benefits for your big family, the Li family, are only fifty acres of tax exemption, plus exemption from corvee for the two men in the family."

"With regard to the exemption from grain tax, the Li family doesn't have much land. The little money saved throughout the year is estimated to only be enough to cover his current expenses at the academy for more than a month."

"As for exempting two men in the family from corvee, there are more than two men in the Li family who are of service age."

"If the court really calls for corvee service, do you think Li Guodong will choose to protect his eldest uncle or his second brother?"

The more Wang listened, the more anxious she looked.

Shen Shuangshuang didn't stop, and continued: "If you really want to take advantage of him, unless he can pass the examination."

"Only those who have been promoted are qualified to be officials. However, even if you are promoted, if you want to be an official, you still need to donate money and find connections."

"With the conditions of the Li family, they want Li Guodong to be an official..." Shen Shuangshuang shook his head in disgust.

"Also, scholars can take the exam every year, but candidates take the exam once every three years. And you must have the status of a scholar to be eligible to take the exam. Taking the exam is hundreds of times more difficult than being a child scholar."

"Li Guodong can't even pass the examination to be a scholar. If he wants to be admitted to the imperial examination, it will only be smoke rising from his ancestral graves!"

Shen didn't speak at first, but when Shen Shuangshuang talked more and more, she became more and more carried away and glared at her.

Although they are now separated, after all, her son and grandson are still named Li.

Shen Shuangshuang finally stopped talking and gave Shen a smile in return.

"It's actually like this?" Wang was so shocked that she almost couldn't speak clearly.

Shen Shuangshuang secretly thought: Sure enough, the Li family has no idea about the situation of becoming an official through the imperial examination.

"Isn't that so?"

"If you don't believe me, just go and wait outside Nanshan Academy. When the students inside come out, you can grab any one and ask about the situation," Shen Shuangshuang said.

After thinking about it, Shen Shuangshuang added, "Also, the situation of Cui'er that Li Guodong brought back is probably different from what he said."

Both Shen and Wang looked at Shen Shuangshuang.

"How can a maid from a wealthy family be let go so easily, especially a maid who serves a young lady personally?"

"If you really gain the grace of your master, you will be released."

"In that case, the person will be released to his home first, and then his family will be asked to arrange the marriage."

"Where can someone just follow a man home?"

"Without a matchmaker or a concubine, doesn't this damage the maid's reputation and bring shame to the master?"

Wang's heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of Li Guodong's injuries, he realized that what Shen Shuangshuang said might be true.

When Shen Shuangshuang saw Wang's reaction, she felt Xiao Jiujiu in her heart.

He continued: "It's not difficult to confirm this. Find someone to go to the back door of Su Mansion, hand over a few coins and ask, and you should be able to find out the situation."

Wang's eyes flashed with admiration when she looked at Shen Shuangshuang.

It's strange that this Sanlang family member could speak better than Guodong in the past. His thinking and eloquence are really beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

"Sanlang's wife, tell me, how should I advise your uncle?" Wang quickly made a decision and asked Shen Shuangshuang.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled, "Oh, uncle, didn't I just say everything?"

"Tell the uncle what I told you and let him confirm it himself. The uncle is not confused. He will not fail to take action once the situation is confirmed."

Li Dashan is just honest, not stupid.

Now his wife is about to run away, and his children are dissatisfied with him. If he still acts stupid, then he has a brain like a pig's intestines and is pretending to be shit.

A flash of hesitation flashed across Wang's face.

After thinking for a while, he nodded.

"Also, there is the matter of that maid. If she is really released by the Su family, she will be fine. At most, there is something wrong with her."

"But if it's a runaway slave, I'm afraid it will endanger your entire Li family."

"I suggest that you ask your uncle to ask about the situation as soon as possible. If the situation is wrong, you can either take the initiative to report to the Su family that there is a runaway slave in the house, or you should quickly separate from the Li family and cut off the relationship with the second house to avoid being implicated." Shen Shuangshuang said again.Wang became nervous all of a sudden.

"Is this—so serious?"

"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang nodded seriously.

"It is a serious crime to hide a fugitive slave."

"I - then I'll go back to find your uncle right now!" After hearing this, Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to leave.

Shen Shuangshuang quickly grabbed the person.

"Oh, you just came out, why are you going back?"

This aunt finally became enlightened and became bolder.Why are you about to turn back after just a short while?

"No, if you don't go back, who will tell your uncle about this?"

"What if that Cui'er is really a runaway slave? What will they do?" Wang was extremely anxious.

Shen couldn't stand it anymore and finally spoke.

"Let Shuangshuang go find your Daya later."

"Then let the brother and sister come over and tell them what happened."

"Leave the rest to your paddy field."

Mrs. Shen thought for a while and then said, "If you don't worry, you can stay at my house for the next few days. If anything happens, ask Shuitian to come over and tell you."

Wang finally stopped being anxious and wanted to leave.

"This...why are you so embarrassed?" He looked at Shen in embarrassment.

She had really planned to go back to her parents' home, but she was also worried that going back would make her parents worried.Moreover, I was worried about displeasing my sister-in-law.

It would indeed be better to stay at Shen's house for a few days than to go back to her parents' house.

The other thing is, under the current circumstances, she can't walk safely.

"What are you embarrassed about?" Shen replied with a smile.

"No one usually comes to my house. As long as you don't go out these days, no one except our family will know that you are here."

"Then thank you, fourth brother and sister." Wang said touchedly.

Mrs. Shen comforted Mrs. Wang a few more words, and then urged Shen Shuangshuang to clean up the guest room for Mrs. Wang.

Wang quickly thanked her.

Shen Shuangshuang then went out to clean up the room he had reserved for his son.

There were three Kangs at home. I thought the one in my son's room would not be used, but unexpectedly it was used.

After tidying up the room, Shen Shuangshuang went to the yard to dry the clothes.

Then I went back to find my mother-in-law and Mrs. Wang.

"The house has been tidied up. It's the third room on the left when you go out. Auntie, I'll go there by myself later." Shen Shuangshuang said to Mrs. Wang.

"It's getting late now. Da Ya should have gone out to cut pigweed. I'll go find her first."

"Okay! Thank you, Sanlang's wife!" Wang quickly thanked her.

"Hey, uncle, please stop being polite! I'm leaving first!" Shen Shuangshuang responded and went out.

It's rare for a mother-in-law to have someone she can talk to, and this person is related to their family, so she still has to help.

In addition, who helped with this and also took care of Li Guodong?
That bitch Li Guodong actually found someone to harm her.

Now she is just messing with their Li family, so that their second wife can no longer continue to suck blood from each house, which is an advantage for him.

As for the future, let her finish what she is doing first.

Clean him up sooner or later!
