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

Chapter 66 66 What did Li Guodong do in the academy?

Mrs. Shen soon discovered that Mrs. Wang no longer picked up vegetables.

He gestured to his daughter-in-law with his eyes.

Only then did Shen Shuangshuang realize the situation.

Then he started directly, regardless of Wang's obstruction, and gave Wang a few pieces of meat and Ermianhuang.

"Auntie, don't be restrained in our house."

"There are so many dishes on the table, you should eat it, but don't be polite to us!" Shen Shuangshuang said.

Wang was so moved that tears flashed in her eyes.

Some regret that I didn't help Si Fang more.

The fourth sister-in-law and Sanlang's wife were so kind to her, she really deserved it.

"Eat quickly!" Shen Shuangshuang pretended not to see Wang's expression, said a word, and continued to eat.

Wang buried her head in her meal and finally stopped being polite.

After dinner, Wang offered to help wash the dishes.

Shen Shuangshuang was not polite. After sending the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen with Mrs. Wang, she told Mrs. Wang about the situation in the kitchen.

"Then I'll go to town to pull bricks. Auntie, please take your time and wash them."

"After washing, if you're bored, go talk to my mother." Shen Shuangshuang said.

"Go ahead. I understand!" Wang responded with a smile.

Only then did Shen Shuangshuang leave.

When she brought Brick back from town, she learned that Wang had not gone to chat with her mother-in-law.

Instead, he went to the backyard and helped her weed the cabbage in the field.

Shen Shuangshuang sighed in his heart that he was such a sincere uncle and began to unload the bricks on the donkey cart.

At this time, Wang heard the noise, stopped weeding, and came to the front yard.

After seeing the situation, he quickly came over to help.

"Sanlang's wife, what kind of vegetables are you growing in your backyard? It's the season, why are you still planting vegetables in the ground?"

"But it's strange, that vegetable looks pretty good." Wang said.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled.

"I heard it's called cowhide dish, and it's also called pig-mother dish. It's said that both humans and pigs can eat it."

"That vegetable is not afraid of the cold and can survive the winter."

Wang was shocked.

"What? How can it be so wasteful to give vegetables to pigs?" he said immediately.

"Oh, if humans can eat it, pigs can eat it too! However, I don't feed pigs at home, and I have other arrangements for those vegetables, so I have no intention of feeding them to pigs." Shen Shuangshuang said.

Wang's face looked better.

"Just don't feed the pigs! In the middle of winter, it's not easy to have green vegetables to eat. How can we waste them like that?"

Shen Shuangshuang was amused again.

"Yes. I also plan to wait until they grow up and sell them to the town for money."

"In the middle of winter, there are not many people selling vegetables. If they can grow well, I guess they can be worth a lot of money."

Wang's eyes looked appreciative.

"I'm sure I can make money!"

"I will help you remove all the grass in the ground this afternoon. Wait for tomorrow and get some manure water to water them. They will grow faster."

Shen Shuangshuang looked grateful.

"I'll take care of the fecal matter. I'd like to thank you for your help in weeding."

I have Xiao Hui at home, and I have saved some farmyard manure during this period, which should be enough to handle the cowhide vegetables in the backyard.

"What's the point?! Anyway, I have nothing to do. If I do something for you, I feel more at ease." Wang said.

Shen Shuangshuang finally agreed.

After the two finished unloading the bricks, Aunt Wang arrived.

Aunt Wang greeted Mrs. Wang, and the two talked for a while.

Shen Shuangshuang told Aunt Wang about the situation and asked her to help keep the secret so that no one would know that Wang was in the Shen family.

Aunt Wang readily agreed.Because they are already very skilled in the process, Shen Shuangshuang and Aunt Wang worked together to make today's tofu in just over an hour.

After finishing the work, Shen Shuangshuang drove Xiao Hui to Shangyang Town to pull bricks.

With two more trips today and three more trips tomorrow, she will almost have all the materials ready.

At night, the Li family's big room.

Li Dashan called his children into the room to talk.

At noon today, his son found him and told him about Li Guodong and the maid he brought back.

He also said that if he continued to follow his mother's will and not separate the family, he would be gambling with Dafang's future, and he would definitely lose.

After hearing this, he was shocked and frightened.

In the afternoon, I found an excuse to go to my mother-in-law's house to pick her up.

Even though his mother disagreed and the second and third bedrooms persuaded him, he still took his son and left.

After leaving the village, I sneaked to the town to inquire about the situation.

As a result, the situation turned out to be pretty much exactly what my son said.

The treatment of scholars is indeed not as good as they thought, and it is difficult to pass the exam.

It is even more difficult to lift people up.

In such a big town, Shangyang Town seems to have only produced a few candidates in the past ten years.

What is even more irritating is that the expenses in the academy, for an ordinary family, are no more than two or two or five yuan a month.Not even two ounces are needed.

Because Nanshan Bookstore provides some students with the job of copying books to make money, some students from farm families can cover a lot of living expenses by copying books.

For example, the student they asked about only had five taels of silver per month for living expenses, and he subsidized the rest by copying books.

According to the student, even if he didn't copy books, the academy's monthly expenses would be slightly reduced, and it would only cost one, two or five yuan a month.

As for Li Guodong, what he wants is twenty-two-five cents!There are at least one or two more students than other students from farm families!
In this way, Li Guodong often cried about poverty at home and asked his mother for more money.

When Li Dashan thought of this, his heart felt cold and his scalp was numb.

His nephew was completely different from what he thought.

What made him even more sad was that his son later asked him: Dad, you said that the eldest brother only spends five taels of silver every month. With the extra two taels of silver, is it possible for my third brother and I to also enter the academy?
At that time, his head was pounding.

He couldn't answer this question.

can you?Maybe will.

Maybe, but not.

I say yes because two taels of silver are enough to support two additional scholars.

He said no because his mother is too partial.

Even if she could save those two taels, she might not take them out.

Yes, he had clearly seen his mother's temperament.

He finally realized that his mother-in-law was right.

Because he mistrusted Li Guodong and his mother, he made his son miss the opportunity to study.

But now, if he continues to insist, his son will be completely destroyed by him.

And not only his son, but also his daughter...

If they couldn't afford to support Li Guodong, his mother would definitely target his daughter.

In addition to these, the son casually asked the student if he knew Li Guodong.

As a result, what the student said made him even more angry.

It was said that Li Guodong offended the young master of the Ju family and was beaten up.

Also because she hooked up with Miss Su's maid, that maid was sent away by Miss Su.

After that, there was no need for them to go to Su Mansion to inquire, everything would be clear.

Although Cui'er was not a runaway slave, she was sent out by her master.

Li Guodong, you are really good!

I went to the academy and didn't do any serious business, but I did some dirty things.

Now I have brought people home.
