Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 90 Asking You For Money
Li Xin didn't even want to talk to him, and was about to leave, but was held back by Guan Wen.

When she turned her head, Guan Wen looked at her earnestly, with some pleading in his eyes.

Guan Wu was on the sidelines anxiously, poking his head to persuade Li Xin, "Sister-in-law, go in..."

Li Xin only looked at Guan Wen for a long while before entering the main room amidst Guan Ming's cursing.

After all, it was her husband, she still couldn't bear to embarrass him, she couldn't bear to embarrass him.

That's okay, let's see what new tricks her superb father-in-law wants to do.Isn't it Guan Zhicheng who wants to take the children's test?She wants to see what their father and son are going to do this time.

Li Xin walked ahead, Guan Wen followed, and Axiu and Amei followed closely behind.When they arrived at the main room, Li Xin also greeted Lao Guan, called Grandpa, and found a corner to pick up a bench to sit on.

Axiu and Amei naturally followed her.

Guan Ming glared at the three aunts and sisters-in-law displeasedly, then winked at Guan Wen to let him sit in a more prominent place, cleared his throat and said, "Let's talk about the sixth child's entrance exam tonight."

Guan Zhicheng had a smile on his face, especially full of ambition, and his expression was a little erratic, as if he didn't know who he was anymore. Li Xin was really disgusted by his arrogance and arrogance.

Li Xin turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind.

Although she has told herself many times that Guan Zhicheng is only 16 years old, 16 years old is just entering high school in modern times, when he is beginning to form his character, and he is still in adolescence, rebellion should be done.But every time Guan Zhicheng finds something to do with her, her tolerance for this person becomes colder.One point plus one point, no amount of tolerance and understanding will be polished.

Now she thinks again, children in ancient times matured early, there were those who headed the family at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and those who married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, why should Guan Zhicheng have privileges? She has to compare Guan Zhicheng with modern people?She's really out of her mind!
Guan Mingxian counts the major deeds of the ancestors of the Guan family.

So many generations of ancestors have hunted a big cat, so-and-so ancestors have owned a hectare of land, so-and-so grandparents have married into rich families... trivial things can be brought up.

Li Xin sneered secretly, even if your ancestors are great, they are your ancestors. What's the point of recalling the "brilliance" of the past and comparing it with the present?No matter how hard they are, they can't escape the word "nong". No matter how powerful they are, the Guan family is now a poor peasant.

Guan Ming didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate about his "passionate" rhetoric. He drank a sip of tea after talking, and instead of falling, his mood became even higher: "Our Guan family is also going to produce a talented master now. Already!"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Zhicheng's chest unknowingly grew a little higher.

Li Xin burst into laughter immediately.

Master Xiucai?Even if you are not a child, you are a master of scholar?Should it be said that you two don't know the heights of the sky and the earth is thick, or that you two feel too good about yourself?
Naturally, Li Xin's snort was not heard by Guan Ming. He was immersed in his speech and had no time to care about other things.

Instead, Guan Quan, A Xiu, and A Mei who were relatively close to Li Xin heard it.

Needless to say, Axiu and Amei, the two of them had always listened to Li Xin's words and knew what Li Xin was laughing at, so they were silent.

Guan Quan only moved slightly, as if he didn't care about Li Xin's sneer.

If you want to say who is the most oily in the Guan family, it must be the fourth Guan.

Li Xin smiled faintly, but suddenly worried about the girl from the Hu family who hadn't entered yet.

Facing such a scheming husband who keeps everything in his heart, can the girl from the Hu family who has no good looks win the favor of Guan Lao Si?

Guan Ming began to recount the history of hard work and tears in raising Guan Zhicheng, and even cried out when he talked about the emotion.Guan Zhicheng's eyes were red, he hugged Guan Ming's back and patted him, looking like a loving father and a filial son.Guan Ming said how hard it was for him to get Guan Zhicheng to study in a private school, how he saved money to pay him, how he supported him and encouraged him, and even said that he didn't pass the children's exam twice. Believe in him as always, it's as long as Mrs. Wang's foot wrap, and everyone here still has to listen.

Li Xin dug his ears, his eyes began to fight with their upper and lower eyelids.She and Guan Wen were already very tired when they came back after walking for a long time, and felt sleepy since entering the main room, but now the drowsiness became more common, and she couldn't control yawning and the like.

Covering his mouth and yawning, he let himself feel better, and heard Guan Ming talking about inviting Mr. Zhang to dinner, fully expressing Mr. Zhang's trust and love for Guan Zhicheng, and then he started to get down to business.

"It is inevitable for the sixth child to pass the child's examination this time, but the scholar needs to take care of it. There is not much spare money at home, you brothers and sisters should take some out for emergencies, right? When your sixth brother is successful, naturally you will not Will forget about that."

Then he turned to Guan Wen, "Ah Wen, you are the eldest brother, let's start."

Li Xin straightened up and looked towards Guan Wen, because Guan Wen's back was facing her, she could only see his back sitting on the bench.Much taller than her, the lights were obscured.

She suddenly felt a little confused.

Even though Guan Wen had told her about this when she arrived in Hehua Village, she had also solemnly declared to Guan Wen that if he asked him for money, she would not give any money.But when things come to an end, who knows what Guan Wen will do?

She almost held her breath waiting for Guan Wen's answer.

After a long while, I heard him say: "Father, I'll go and think of a way."

Li Xin's heart relaxed, and he mentioned it again, as if he fell to the ground, his mind went numb.

Guan Ming was still saying, "What do you think? You spent all the money you earned?"

"That money...is useful."

"What's the use?" Guan Ming was very dissatisfied.

Guan Wen is not a person who is good at lying, but if he says that the money is in the hands of his wife and the wife is unwilling to give the money, isn't this putting eye drops in front of his father and making him hate his wife?

He hesitated for a long time before pulling Axiu out to talk about the matter: "A dowry must be arranged for Axiu."

Guan Ming stared: "Let's ignore that, let's talk about this first, your sixth brother's problem is the biggest."

Axiu's heart tightened, and she was immediately irritated by Guan Ming's attitude of "a daughter is not as important as a finger of a son", and she said coolly: "I said father, it should be your business for my elder brother to arrange a dowry for me." Son, now big brother has taken over the job of helping me with my dowry, it’s fine if you don’t appreciate it, what’s the matter, you still ask my big brother for money and want to go along with my dowry?”

Guan Ming was choked by Axiu, his old face blushed immediately, he slapped the table and shouted: "Did you say that about your father!"

"Then is there such a father as you?" Axiu still had that sarcasm tone: "Calculate your daughter's dowry, is it you who can do it?"

"Axiu!"

Guan Wen glanced at Axiu disapprovingly, and shook his head at her.

Axiu snorted coldly and turned away.

Guan Ming was so angry that his liver trembled, and he pointed at Axiu tremblingly: "What kind of evil is this, how can I have such a thing in my life..."

"Father, don't say a few words." Ah Wen sighed, "Ah Xiu's dowry money cannot be moved, and she has to say goodbye right away, and she will be eighteen in a few days. If you don’t have a share of money, and you can’t get the dowry together for a while, it’s just a joke.”

Guan Ming was not happy, his face was extremely ugly, Guan Wen said in a downcast manner: "I will think of a way to deal with the money."

Guan Ming reluctantly complied, and turned to Guan Wu again.Guan Wu said honestly: "I don't have any big money on me." He touched his body for a long time and found a few copper coins, "There are still some in the room, but at most a penny, and the rest will be handed over to Dad. .”

Guan Ming paused, his eyes flickered, but he didn't ask Guan Wu much, and looked at Guan Quan.

Guan Quan said vaguely: "Get a wife and come in right away. The money is used to hire someone to build a new house. There is not much left. If Dad doesn't dislike it, I still have a lot of money here..."

He gave the amount compared to what his second brother said, and he used legitimate reasons, directly blocking Guan Ming's words.Li Xin glanced at Guan Quan, and thought to himself, Guan Quan probably has a lot of private money hidden all over his body, and he is arguing with his father here, isn't it because he doesn't want to give away the money he saved for nothing?
Guan Wu is simple and honest, he doesn't know that his father and his sixth younger brother are playing wrong ideas.Guan Quan understood, but he never said a word, he was self-sufficient, and the two sides would not offend.

But it was Guan Wen who clearly understood, but still allowed others to make up his mind.

Guan Ming asked around, but the other three sons didn't come up with any big money.He was very upset, and seeing Axiu and Amei murmuring, he asked her two, "Didn't you say you made money? Your sisters..."

Axiu robbed the words before he finished speaking, "Dad asked us for the first two days, but he said that he wanted to treat the sixth son to dinner and prepare gifts, and he came under this banner. Afterwards, my sister-in-law took care of all these things." Go, it didn't cost you a penny. The money that my elder brother gave me for my dowry can't be touched, and the money I saved for myself is even more so. Otherwise, I won't have any foundation to go to my husband's house in the future. Where would I come from? confidence?"

The implication is that you asked under another banner that day, and you can no longer think about the money.Besides, it is ridiculed to calculate the dowry of a daughter. You can't just ignore your son and ignore your daughter.

Guan Ming's face turned red and then turned pale. The whole family asked him all over the place, but there were very few who could actually come up with any money.

Even if the sum of the money given by the second child and the fourth child is only two shillings, only one tael of silver.

A tael of silver is worth a fart.

Guan Ming's complexion was not good, and Guan Zhicheng's face was also a little troubled.

He has always been favored by his family, and he is the only scholar in the family, so they can only count on him if they want to be successful.He fully thought that everyone should give their all to help, not to mention giving their lives to help him, but the current situation really embarrasses him.

The husband asked for 50 taels of silver, which is considered low. If he is not a disciple of the master, it is estimated that 100 taels can go up.

This opportunity is so rare, if you pay 50 taels of silver, you will be safe, and he will definitely have the reputation of a scholar.Don't miss this opportunity, if you don't make up the 50 taels of silver, won't everything be in vain?Should he just watch this opportunity slip away?No, absolutely not!

Guan Zhicheng pursed his lips, raised his chin proudly and said, "Big brother, second brother and fourth brother, you guys help me this time, and when I'm successful, your benefits will definitely be indispensable."

It was obviously a beg for help, but it made him say the taste of charity.

Li Xin snorted unabashedly, this time it was not like the burst of laughter just now, in the quiet situation, all the Guan family members heard it.

Guan Zhicheng became angry for a moment, and shouted: "What are you laughing at!"

"Laughing at you." Li Xin brushed off his clothes with a rather leisurely attitude, "It's too ridiculous for a gnat to shake a big tree."
