Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

The two of them helped Mrs. Li and Old Man Yang back to the old house.

Yang Laoer felt very sad when he saw that his son, who had returned home in glory, didn't even look at him. He could only grit his teeth and follow them silently.

Zhou fell a few steps behind and came to Yang Lao San, muttering, "I don't know what luck the second son has. He is so unbelievable, but his children are all promising. We spent a lot of effort to cultivate Laigui, but in the end he is not as good as his cousins."

The more Zhou spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and she was about to cry.

Yang Laosan hurriedly comforted him: "Why are you in such a hurry? Mr. Ming has already said that Laigui should proceed step by step and take his time. There is no need to rush."

"I'm anxious because I see Fugui has become a Jinshi! How about we let Fugui try some specialized subject as well?" Zhou suggested.

Yang Laosan stopped him immediately, "Forget it! Don't think that things will happen one by one. Fugui's situation is different from Laigui's. With a father like this, he can only rely on himself for everything. Didn't you hear Sizhuang say that he was studying while earning money in the capital? If our Laigui had half the hardship of Fugui, he would have passed the exam long ago! Now he has finally calmed down a little under the guidance of Mr. Ming, don't let him make him impatient again!"

After being scolded like this, Zhou immediately shut up.

The old house was bustling all day long because of the two Jinshi. All the relatives from all over the neighborhood came with gifts, trying every way to show their favor in front of Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui.

For the first time, Yang Fugui felt the earth-shaking changes that his status and position had brought to him.

By the evening, all the guests had finally left.

Yang An then came to talk to Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui about the village school. "Today, the children in the village saw you return home, and they are all very enthusiastic about studying. I want to ask you to take some time to give the children a lesson and talk to them about some great principles. The children may not listen to what we, the peasants, say, but they will definitely remember what you, the masters, say for the rest of their lives!"

This remark amused everyone in the courtyard.

Yang Sizhuang readily agreed, "My mother also reminded me to go to the village school. In addition, my mother also prepared 5,000 taels for the village. If there are villagers who are having a hard time and need silver, it will come in handy. The rest can be used in the village school or to buy some land as family property."

When Yang An heard that Jiang Ning was going to pay 5,000 taels, his eyes widened instantly, "This is too much!"

Yang Sizhuang shook his head. "Village head, if the Yang family wants to prosper, they need money. Five thousand taels may seem like a lot, but it's actually not much to use in the village. Only when there are more promising people in the village can our Yang family really grow stronger."

Yang An's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this. He gritted his teeth as he took the money, thought about it for a moment, and repeatedly assured himself that he would make good use of the money.

Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li felt particularly proud and their backs straightened a lot.

After Yang An left.

Li then began to feel bad for the silver. "Your mother may be happy, but now she is old. When she passes away, you brothers will divide the family property and need silver everywhere. Five thousand taels can do a lot of things!"

Li was really worried that Jiang Ning would squander the family fortune that the eldest wife had worked so hard to save. Yang Sizhuang laughed, "Grandma, don't worry. Our third brother is such a money-making expert. Five thousand taels is nothing to my mother. Besides, it was because I passed the imperial examination and my mother was happy. She really hoped that the village could get better, so she gave me so much money. Don't worry."

As he said this, he took out another two thousand taels and gave them privately to Yang Laosan.

Yang Lao San was flattered and said he wanted nothing, but Yang Si Zhuang insisted, "Uncle San, you have been staying with Grandpa and Grandma all year round to show your filial piety. My mother said that you deserve this money. At the same time, my mother also said that Lai Gui has never suffered since he was a child and is quite spiritual. Don't push him too hard. It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as we brothers are here, we will naturally not forget Lai Gui."

After hearing what Yang Sizhuang said, Yang Laosan felt relaxed all over, and all the little knots in his heart disappeared.

Next, Rongshu Village held a buffet for three days. Yang Sizhuang showed up on the first day, and then he was busy going to Mapo Academy, Dragon King Temple and other places. Yang Fugui stayed in the village to entertain guests and arrange all matters in the village with the village chief.

When Yang Laoer saw his son's success, he also felt very proud.

When Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui were about to leave, Yang Laoer saw that Yang Fugui hadn't mentioned him, so he got anxious and went to the old house himself. He said to Yang Fugui with a stern face, "I want to leave with you."

As soon as these words came out, Li immediately changed her face and said, "I'm not dead yet! Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?"

Yang Lao Er frowned in grievance, "Mother, Fugui is my only son, if I don't follow him, who will I follow?"

"Then what about me and your father? Don't you have to fulfill your filial piety? The old lady doesn't care about us because we were almost left with nothing. We didn't give her anything and we don't have the face to ask her to serve us. But the old lady has always given us money for our retirement over the years. What can you give to fulfill your filial piety?" Li said this very impolitely.

Yang Lao Er secretly glanced at Yang Lao San, and seeing that Yang Lao San didn't even look at him, he knew that the Third House didn't intend to get involved. He gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Li, "Mother, I beg you, I can't even take care of myself, please let me go with Fugui!"

He knew very well that if he did not follow his son this time, it would be difficult for him to go back to his son's side in the future, and he would have less and less say in his son's affairs.

Li refused to give in at all and even asked people to call the village chief and the elders of the village, insisting that the villagers give her justice and tie Yang Laoer tightly with filial piety.

Yang Fugui had the support of Li, so he didn't have to be a villain. He just said to Yang Laoer calmly, "I am just a second-class Jinshi, and it is impossible for me to stay in the capital. After I report to the Ministry of Personnel, I will most likely be sent out. Now I don't even know where I will be sent. What are you doing with me? Besides, I can only stay at my aunt's house in the capital, so where will you live?"
Living in the capital is not easy, and money is needed everywhere. What can I do with my little money? Why do you want to leave with me? Do you think I live too easily, or do you think I don't give you enough money every year?"

The housekeeper of the old house in the east of the village immediately interrupted, "The rich young master sends fifteen taels of silver back to the village every year, plus clothes for four seasons, etc., it's not a small amount."

When the villagers heard this, they all scolded Yang Laoer for being ignorant.

An old man in his seventies came forward with a cane, pointed at Yang Laoer's nose and lectured him, "Yang Dou! Fugui is already filial enough. You can live comfortably in the village without doing anything. Why do you have to follow your child and burden him? I, an old man, will be the first to disagree! Your parents are still alive and well, don't even think about running away without caring about them!"

Under the villagers' pointing and accusing, Yang Laoer turned pale and dared not say a word. (End of this chapter)
