Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 306: Hit Her to Death with a Hoe

"The government officials didn't say whether women wanted to go or not." Luo Sanmu was only thinking about how others looked at him at that time, so he didn't have the energy to care about anything else. "Do you really want to go?"

"Can we still imagine going?" Jiang Chan said, "What a rare opportunity. People like us want to learn a craft but can't find anyone to teach us. Now the government has invited a master to teach us. We can go and learn. What a great thing."

"This is not an ordinary skill. A veterinarian takes care of livestock. It is dirty and tiring. Can you do it?" Luo Sanmu asked back.

"Don't worry about it. I'll go to the government office and ask. If they're willing to let me join, I'll go and learn from them." Jiang Chan stood up, brushed off the grass debris on her body, and was about to go out.

But when she passed by Luo Sanmu, she was stopped by him. "What's the matter again?" Jiang Chan was unhappy.

"Don't rush to go." Luo Sanmu said, "Although you can learn a skill when the government recruits apprentices, if you really pass the government's test, your household registration will have to be changed. I want to save some money and send Shitou to Yangmen County to study. Maybe his ancestors have done good deeds and he can pass the exam and become an official in the future.

If our household registration is changed, not only will Shitou be unable to go to school, but he will also not be able to take the imperial examinations within three generations. Isn't this harmful to future generations?
If my family had been barely able to make ends meet before, I wouldn’t have had this thought, but now life is better.”

Jiang Chan didn't expect that he still had such thoughts in his mind, "It's a good thing that you want Shitou to go to school, but with the little money our family has now, it's good enough for him to learn to read for two years and not be blind like us. Where can we afford to support his education?
I think that living a good life now is more important than anything else. If we really want to benefit our descendants, we should save money first and give Shitou and his family a good job so that they can have money to support their descendants."

After Jiang Chan finished speaking, she stared at Luo Sanmu and said, "Don't talk to me about this. Tell me, did you think of this before, or did you just think of it?"

Luo Sanmu asked back, "What's the difference?"

"Too different! Luo Sanmu, ah Luo Sanmu, I've been with you for so many years, don't I know what kind of person you are? Is it because of this that you feel it's difficult to do it, or did you not want to do it first and then thought of this reason?"

Luo Sanmu didn't say anything.

Jiang Chan opened his hand and walked out.

"Are you determined to learn?" Luo Sanmu asked from behind.

Jiang Chan held back her temper and replied, "I'll go to the government office and ask if they want women, and if I need to change my household registration after I finish my studies. I'll talk to you after I've found out! Okay?"

Luo Sanmu followed his wife to the gate of the courtyard and stopped. Looking at his wife's back as she walked away, he felt panicked and thought he had done something wrong.

He patted his head in annoyance and squatted down in annoyance. His daughter Luo Yun came over and pulled the hand off Luo Sanmu's head, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Sanmu simply sat down on the wood beside the door and said, "It's okay, go and play."

Luo Yun didn't move. "Or I'll go and learn. Anyway, I'm going to get married and won't be considered a member of the family. My going to learn won't affect Shi Tou. When I succeed, I can make money for the family." She felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears fell from her eyes.

Luo Sanmu was surprised, "What are you talking about? Who is gossiping in front of you? You are my daughter, and you will still be my daughter after you get married, so why are you not considered a family member!" He pulled his daughter back into the house and wiped her face with a handkerchief, "Mother yelled to father, saying that father said something wrong. We can live like this as it is now. We don't have to send someone to learn martial arts, understand?"

Although Luo Yun stopped crying, his emotions did not calm down.

Luo Sanmu squatted in front of Luo Yun and said, "Tell Dad, who told you those words?"

"Auntie Lamei," Luo Yun said while shedding tears, "She said this is not my home, but Shitou's home. If Shitou finds a wife in the future, I will be a nuisance to her, so I should find a home early while I am still young. She asked Xinzhu to take me to his home. I refused to go, so she came to pull me back. Shitou knocked Xinzhu over, and then we were able to come back."

The more Luo Sanmu listened, the angrier he became. He wished he could rush to Wang Lamei's house and beat her to death with a hoe.

He actually dared to target Luo Sanmu's daughter.

"When did it happen?" Luo Sanmu asked Luo Yun again. "Some time ago, when my family was planting new seeds."

"Then why didn't you tell your parents?"

Luo Yun was keenly aware of Luo Sanmu's blame, and tears fell again, "You guys are busy farming."

Luo Sanmu clenched his fists and woke up Shitou who was sleeping. "You two stay in the room. I'm going to be out for a while. Close the door and open it when mom and dad come back."

After leaving the house, Luo Sanmu became more and more angry. He really went to the hut to get a hoe and went to Wang Lamei's house.

But just as he got near Wang Lamei's house, he saw his wife running back happily.

When Jiang Chan saw him here, she thought he was here to pick her up. Her dissatisfaction with Luo Sanmu disappeared in an instant, and she smiled and shared the news she had heard with him.

"Not long after I left the village, I met Lord Meng by the pond. I asked him carefully and he told me that the government office was recruiting people of all genders this time, and that after graduation, their household registration would not be changed, but only registered with the government office, which would not affect their children's entrance exams.

After learning, I can give...”

Before she could finish, Luo Sanmu angrily said, "I don't have time to listen to this now!"

Jiang Chan only noticed his expression at this time, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to beat Wang Lamei to death!" Luo Sanmu said as he walked away with his hoe in hand. Jiang Chan quickly chased after him and stopped him. "What happened? What happened at home?"

"You still have to manage the household!" He pointed at Wang Lamei's house, "That thing took advantage of us being busy and tried to harm our daughter. I'm going to kill her today!"

"Wait, wait!" Jiang Chan pulled him back again and asked anxiously, "What happened to Yun'er?"

"She got the stones mixed up, and she couldn't succeed."

Jiang Chan only dared to breathe after hearing this, but there was also fire in her eyes. She snatched the hoe from Luo Sanmu's hand and said, "I'll go!"

The two men ran quickly to Wang Lamei's house and smashed her gate with a hoe.

Wang Lamei heard the noise and came out to see someone smashing her door. She immediately cried out, "Help! Bandits are coming to the village! Help!"

She is very smart and knows how to get people to help her.

Soon, all the neighbors came out, holding weapons in their hands, "Who is so blind as to dare to come to Luojia Village to steal things!"

But no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than Jiang Chan who was already standing in the yard.

By the time the people around were holding things to stop Jiang Chan's hoe, Wang Lamei had already crawled on the ground, covered in dirt. One of her arms was hammered so hard that she couldn't lift it, and she didn't know if the bone was broken.

"It's the Miki couple. What's going on?"

Jiang Chan was stopped by several women and couldn't hit Wang Lamei.

Wang Lamei sat on the ground with her hands folded and howled, "Someone's been murdered! Hurry up and report to the police. Lock up this lunatic. She came to my house to beat and kill me for no reason. She must be crazy. If we don't lock her up, she will kill the whole village!"
