Mrs. Lin Zhang was immersed in praise all the way, not to mention how happy she was.

Holding the chicken in his hand, he was ready to arrange a task for Lin Qianshi. Just as he was about to enter the house, he saw Lin Yaozu sneaking out.

She murmured in her heart and quickly stopped him: "What's wrong with you? There's a happy event at home, but you're not here."

Lin Yaozu was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandering around. He tried to calm down, and then said: "Mom, I suddenly found that I forgot something at home. I have to come back to get it."

Lin Yaozu hurriedly explained, worried about being misunderstood, saying that work had begun over there and he had to go over there to check, and then left first.

Looking at Lin Yaozu's panicked back, Lin Zhang's lips raised: "Did you know? Your little brother has been admitted as a scholar!"

"Humph, he was born to study. You can celebrate at home, I have to go to work!"

After saying that, he left like a gust of wind.

Mrs. Lin Zhang was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Hey, where is the chicken? You don't want to eat it?"

Lin Yaozu walked quickly without looking back.

It feels like a mirror in my heart, how can a chicken or a few bites of meat be more important than my own life?

Lin Qianshi in the kitchen, looking at the plump chicken, felt really mixed in her heart.

I also thought that the chicken was expensive, and I thought that my mother-in-law would rather buy such an expensive chicken than give her a few pennies for medical treatment. This chicken seemed to have become a knot in her heart, and she really felt uncomfortable no matter what.

Lin Qianshi licked the corner of her mouth, and was noticed by Lin Zhangshi who had just entered the kitchen.

"You lazy boy, don't even think about stealing food!" Mrs. Lin Zhang shouted sternly.

Lin Qianshi's lips moved slightly but remained silent. She swallowed down the bitterness in her heart, her eyes showing resentment.

"There aren't many people in the family, so just buy half a chicken, cut half of it and cook it and it's enough!"

In the evening, Lin Yaozu quietly returned home.

He looked around as if he was particularly alert and seemed a little nervous. Mr. Lin looked at him and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Yaozu." Mr. Lin called him.

Lin Yaozu was so frightened that his whole body trembled a little. Then he looked at Mr. Lin and whispered, "Dad."

Mr. Lin's eyes were particularly sharp: "Where were you just now?"

Lin Yaozu's palms were full of sweat, and the sweat gathered into water droplets. He replied: "The family's finances are a bit tight, so I will go to the town to find some work."

Mr. Lin looked puzzled and asked, "Are you looking for a job, or are you gambling again?"

Lin Yaozu hurriedly defended himself: "Dad, I have really changed my mind after what happened last time!"

Mr. Lin stared at him and asked again: "Have you really changed your mind, or are you just pretending? If gambling is so easy to make money, then why do we still work so hard? Everyone goes to the gambling house to try their luck. never mind!"

"You lost fifty taels not long after you went to the gambling house last time. Your family doesn't have much money. If you keep gambling, that's unfilial! You let the whole family suffer with you! Do you know that your brother has already Passed the exam to become a scholar!"

Lin Yaozu thought to himself, this is really disturbing. They are all afraid that he will affect his younger brother's future.

He was actually thinking that if I had studied harder before, he might have been admitted as a scholar.

Forget it, I'd better not think about it so much. In order to make the old man happy, I just dealt with him casually: "Oh, this is really good. Brother, you are so awesome, and dad, you are so lucky!"

After hearing this, Mr. Lin couldn't help frowning and asked, "Is this your attitude?" Lin Yaozu was even more unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it. He retorted: "Dad, what I just said was obviously a good thing! What else do you want me to say?"

The old man said angrily: "What do you say? I don't ask for your sincere blessing, but do you have a word of truth in your mouth? You are mysterious, and you can see that you have a guilty conscience!"

When Lin Yaozu heard what the old man said, he suddenly became anxious and didn't know what to do.

Their quarrel attracted Lin Zhang and others.

Lin Zhang asked dissatisfiedly: "It's so late at night, what are you arguing about?"

The old man said: "Ask your good son what he did during the day!" At the same time, he pointed at Lin Yaozu.

Lin Zhang looked at Lin Yaozu: "What else can he do? Someone in the family must make money, and the boss just goes to the town to find work!"

"Who is looking for a job, and the last thing he wears is that his clothes are clean? Wen Guang is a scholar, is it possible that he is too? Rotten wood is hard to carve, and it is an easy job that uses your brain. What is your son capable of?!"

The old man didn't want to belittle his eldest son, but his behavior was really incomprehensible.

Lin Zhang raised her eyebrows with suspicion on her face: "You said the boss went gambling? How is this possible?"

In her mind, why did Mr. Lin suddenly find trouble here for such a happy event?

Mr. Lin stared at Mrs. Lin Zhang with a very serious tone: "Don't talk nonsense! The boss has changed for the better! Today is Wenguang's big day to become a scholar, don't disturb the situation here!"

"Spoiler?" Mr. Lin looked at Mrs. Lin Zhang, a little disappointed: "What if he hasn't changed yet and goes gambling behind his back and loses fifty taels? Wen Guang has just become a scholar. At this time If something goes wrong, is it okay?”

Will the court let Wen Guang have a brother who is addicted to gambling? Will Wen Guang be made a senior official?

Mrs. Lin Zhang didn't understand this and felt that Mr. Lin just liked to make a fuss.

Seeing Mr. Lin's serious face, Mrs. Lin Zhang was also anxious. Wen Guang was admitted as a scholar, which was a great joy for the whole family. She quickly looked at Lin Yaozu: "Old man, tell me, have you really quit gambling?"

Mr. Lin's eyes widened and he said fiercely: "I'm going to say something ugly first. If you go gambling again, I won't pay your debt!"

Pay off debt? !

Lin Yaozu said nothing, but his eyes were red.

He just has bad luck!

He won more than ten taels of silver today, and he will definitely win more tomorrow!

Even if Wen Guang becomes a scholar, he will not be as popular as these real money!

By then, his parents will definitely no longer look down on him and feel that he is not as good as his younger brother in every aspect.

With unconvinced thoughts, Lin Yaozu faced the pressure and said to his parents: "I have changed. Parents, would you rather trust outsiders than your own son?"

After saying that, Lin Yaozu showed a sad expression.

Mrs. Lin Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mr. Lin and said, "Do you think your son is stupid? He has already suffered a loss once, can he do it again?"

"Humph!"

Mr. Lin felt something was wrong, but couldn't say anything, so he turned and went back to the room.

He still had doubts in his heart.

It is often said that a dog cannot change its habit of eating shit, and this statement could not be more appropriate for Lin Yaozu. His eager and lazy temperament is simply a headache.
