Lin Chujiu planned to give Wei Fuzi a normal tuition fee every month, plus an extra allowance of one tael of silver.

"Master Wei, please don't get excited. This tael of silver is not for free. Our family is at the back of the village, so it is naturally not as convenient as in the town. My younger brothers and sisters are still young, and the family is worried about them running back and forth to the town, so we have to worry about it. You. And they haven’t entered the school yet, so they must have a lot to teach.”

"That's what I say, but one tael of silver is too much."

Wei Zeming was indeed short of money, otherwise he would not have given up his status as a scholar and taken the initiative to recruit students.

He usually excels in his studies, but if he were from a slightly wealthier family, he would not be distracted at this critical moment unless he was at the end of his rope.

"My husband deserves this money. Although our family's conditions are average, my parents have told me that teaching and educating people is also a hard job. I cannot wrong my husband."

Hearing this, Wei Zeming still felt a little embarrassed.

"One tael of silver is enough. I absolutely cannot ask for this extra tael. One tael of silver every month is already enough for Miss Lin to treat me very well. I can't ask for more." Wei Zeming's expression was surprised. Happy, but also a little embarrassed.

It seems that the person introduced by Lin Wenguang is really down-to-earth. Most people are afraid that the money they give is not enough. How can anyone refuse like him? But Wei Zeming said that he was embarrassed to accept it. This sentence not only did not make Lin Chujiu give up, but made her more determined.

"As long as my husband is willing to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, money is secondary and nothing."

She just received twenty-five taels of silver, and her income will only become more stable in the future.

The construction of the new house is almost complete, and there is no need to spend money elsewhere.

Lin Hongwen and Lin Wulin, if they could spend more money to lay a solid foundation for them, Lin Chujiu would be willing to give them money.

Lin Wenguang next to him looked at Lin Chujiu with complicated eyes.

Although he had known that Lin Chujiu was supplying goods to Chunfeng Tower for a long time, he was still shocked when he saw that she was wealthy and gave out a huge amount of one tael of silver a month without blinking an eye.

Lin Chujiu felt her uncle's eyes and deliberately pretended not to see it.

Lin Wenguang is a smart person in the family, a scholar, and has a lot of backbone. He will not deliberately try to get rich.

Wei Zeming was completely stunned by the pie falling from the sky. Lin Chujiu smiled and the matter was settled: "Master Wei, if it's convenient for you, you can come to the village after you leave the academy tomorrow."

"It's hard running around every day. Thank you, Mr. Wei."

Lin Chujiu said politely, making Wei Zeming wave his hand.

After collecting tuition fees, I can get an extra tael of silver every month.

He had been extremely happy for a long time: "Miss Lin really thinks highly of me. I promise to do my best to teach you well."

As a result, the two hit it off immediately and asked Wei Zeming to prepare classes for Lin Hongwu and Lin Jianyuan tomorrow.

Wei Zeming walked out with a face full of joy. He had accomplished one thing, his mood became relaxed, and the worries on his face seemed to have dissipated a lot. The little money in my hand is enough to buy medicine for my mother. As long as I save more every month, I can slowly pay off the external debts.

Lin Wenguang wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He sighed silently in his heart, feeling that the relationship between his family and his second wife was becoming more and more distant. But think about it, this is all their own fault.

It was agreed with Wei Zeming that they would go back and forth from the academy every day to teach Lin Hongwu and Lin Jianjie in the village. At night, they would squeeze in under the same roof with Yuan Jing and Lin Hongwu. When the new house is built, it will be much more spacious.

Lin Chujiu planned to hire a donkey cart from the village uncle to take Wei Zeming to the academy every morning.

Although there are a lot of things to do, homework cannot be delayed. After settling something on their mind, Yuan Jing and Lin Chujiu returned to the village with large and small bags.

From a distance, he saw two small piers going back and forth between the old house and the new house. Lin Chujiu took a closer look and saw that it was Lin Hongwu and Lin Wulin who were moving red bricks.

The two little faces were sweating and enjoying themselves.

"Hongwu, Wulin, have you all become little craftsmen?"

Lin Chujiu looked at this scene, feeling funny and relieved.

Lin Hongwu is so considerate, and he is a living example of "poor children become rich early". Because of this, Lin Chujiu hurt him even more.

"Sister!" The two little guys ran over excitedly, and Lin Hongwu smiled shyly in front of Lin Chujiu. Lin Chujiu smiled and touched his tender face, "Look at you two, your little faces are dirty."

Then, Lin Chujiu smiled and told his younger siblings what had just happened.

"Haha, here's the good news!"

"Don't you two always want to go to school? This time, my sister will find a teacher for you. From now on, we can have classes at home every day!"

"Isn't it great? Hongwu, do you have anything to say?"

Lin Hongwu nodded fiercely, his face was dirty, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

Lin Chujiu patted their heads gently and said, "Okay, brother and sister are back. You two, please stop making trouble and rest for a while. Wait for sister to cook and go to bed early to prepare for tomorrow's study."

Early the next morning, the two little guys couldn't help but ran to the entrance of the village to look around.

Although Lin Chujiu said that Wei Zeming would not arrive until evening, Lin Hongwu and Lin Jianyan couldn't help but feel happy.

When Yuan Jing was going to town, the two little guys looked at him eagerly, making him dumbfounded. With a serious look on his face, he promised them that he would bring their teacher back intact.

It had been a while since Yuan Jing took Wei Zeming back to the village.

At this time, the sun is setting, and every household is packing up farm tools, finishing the day's work, and going home.

Yuan Jing was driving a donkey cart with a scholar sitting in the cart. This scene attracted the curious eyes of the villagers. Yuan Jing's stern expressionless face made everyone afraid to talk to him easily.

When Yuan Jing brought Wei Zeming to the old house, the villagers couldn't hold themselves back and asked Lin Chujiu one after another.

"Jiu'er, who is sitting in that car? Is it a relative of yours?"

"Look at him dressed up so neatly, like a white-faced scholar."

As long as Wei Zeming teaches the younger brothers and sisters of the Lin family, they will inevitably attract the attention of others. Lin Chujiu had been prepared for it. She generously invited people to teach her, and there was nothing shameful about it.

"That's the teacher hired by our family, Hongwu Yong. He's a classmate of the same academy as my brother-in-law."

The villagers didn't expect it to be like this, and they were a little envious.

Some people can't help but sigh, how much does it cost every month? Looking at the newly built house of Mr. Xu’s family, now they can even afford a husband!
