The general is happy: the fierce wife of the peasant family is ruthless and stunning

Chapter 79 Farewell to Cheng Guotao

The next day, Lan Meizi's marriage finally came to an end.

At the same time, Cheng Guotao unexpectedly gathered everyone together and began to bid farewell to everyone.

"You are still young, if you don't study hard for the imperial examination, what are you going to do?"

This move was strongly opposed by Li Tao at first.

On the contrary, Cheng Guotao expressed his thoughts in a neither humble nor overbearing way.

"I'm going to be fifteen after Chinese New Year this year. I'm not too young. I have my own ideas. The imperial examination is not suitable for me. I want to do business more than being an official."

His words were like a thunderbolt, which left everyone stunned.

It was his mother who reacted first, grabbed him, and planned to fight.

"What do you know? You're still in business. If someone like you is sold, you might be able to count the money for others. The old man is kind enough to teach you, but you don't want to make progress..."

Seeing the conflict between mother and son, everyone hurriedly pulled them away.

Qin Ya came out to smooth things over, persuading her: "Mother Tao, don't worry, let's listen to what Tao'er has to say, do you agree or not?"

Qin Ya actually knew why Cheng Guotao's mother was so angry.

In ancient times, there were always scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants...

The status of businessmen is always at the bottom, even worse than those who work outside.

Seeing that the clever son had such a muddled idea, the mother was inevitably angry.

But Qin Ya is different from everyone's thinking. She is from the 21st century. In her era, everyone didn't think that doing business was such a bad thing.

Even if you do well in business, you are capable of proving yourself.

After everyone dispersed, Qin Ya called Cheng Guotao to her bedroom and had a good conversation with him.

"Since you said that you want to do business, what are your thoughts at the moment, let me know."

Qin Ya said to him.

"I have studied with the old man for two years. I dare not say how good I am, but it is always no problem to go out and do some work as an accountant. I plan to go to a big city and start as a low-level accountant. , don’t stick to wages, first accumulate some contacts and the owner’s money-making strategy, then wait for the opportunity to find a line, start by yourself, and when it grows bigger in the future, I will consider doing other businesses..."

Qin Ya listened to what he said clearly and logically, obviously she had some calculations in her heart.

She then said: "If you think about it clearly, you won't regret it easily when you go out in the future. The imperial examination is the safest way, and it is inevitable to be despised when doing business in this era. If you don't regret it, I won't either." Dorcas stops you, here is a package of two taels of silver, you can take it on the road."

Two taels of silver is already a lot, which is equivalent to the annual expenses of a family of three in rural areas.

Cheng Guotao was stunned on the spot, he never thought that instead of reprimanding him for being ignorant, his wife would support him and be willing to give him money.

"Ma'am, why don't you scold me?"

Cheng Guotao lowered his head, a little puzzled.

"Why should I scold you?"

Qin Ya asked him calmly.

"Because...because..."

Because after a long time, even he didn't say why.

Yes, why?

Is it because it is not good to do business like others say?

No, Madame is not that superficial.

"You see, even you think that I have no reason to oppose you. You are a child with ideas. Now that you have thought about it, go ahead and do it. I can't give you much, but one day I really can't hold on. You Just come back, this will always be your home."

Qin Ya would never have imagined that it was precisely this sentence that made the first merchant in the history of the Qin State who was able to fight against the lifeline of the national economy with his own strength.

"Thank you ma'am."

Cheng Guotao knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Qin Ya.

As the saying goes: A man kneels on his knees and kneels on his parents!
In Cheng Guotao's heart, Qin Ya is his reborn parents, no different from his own mother.

After kowtowing, he took the two taels of silver from Qin Ya and disappeared into the vast night.

On the other side of the room, Qin Ya said to Cheng Guotao's mother who was hiding under the eaves, "Come in."

When Cheng Guotao's mother entered the room, she was already in tears, her eyes filled with tears.

"Tao'er has already decided that we should not stop him. He is a child with his own thoughts and decisions. As a family member, we have supported him instead of stopping him. What do you think?"

"I……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she choked up uncontrollably.

Qin Ya didn't bother her.

After she finished crying, she choked up and said, "I know, I know he is an outstanding child, it's my mother who is not good enough to give him a good background, now I have to rely on him to fight for everything... ..."

Qin Ya understood that she didn't think Cheng Guotao was not good at doing business, but blamed herself for not giving Cheng Guotao a good background, which made him start from scratch step by step.

"Don't worry, Tao'er is much braver and better than we imagined. He will become a good enough person. You are a successful mother, so don't underestimate yourself."

Qin Ya persuaded her.

Cheng Guotao's mother is still brooding.

"Ma'am, you don't know that Tao'er has been smart since he was a child. At that time, I was in the bandit's den with him. Every time the guy who received a thousand dollars didn't grab something good, he would take it easy on me. Tao'er defended me everywhere." , to help me escape the beatings, but he was so young at that time, only a few years old, not as tall as my waist, and he already knew how to protect my mother, but I can't give him anything, even if he has ideals and ambitions , I can't give him anything, and when he was about to leave, I didn't dare to appear in front of him, for fear that he would feel uneasy when he saw mother's tears..."

She chattered endlessly, telling Qin Ya about the things she and her son had done over the years.

From being severely beaten in the bandit's den at the beginning, the son defended him everywhere, and then met Qin Ya later, the mother and son finally lived a good life, and Cheng Guotao also began to show his talent, but as a mother, he was still helpless , can only watch him leave from a distance behind.

It's not that she doesn't understand her son's excellence, but that she hates herself and can't help her son.

Qin Ya is also a mother, she has taken care of Li Xin'er for so many years, watching Xiaodoubao grow into a handsome young man step by step, she sometimes fears that she can't help her son.

This sentiment is common to both mothers.

Qin Ya stayed with her, chatting about the two children's childhood fun all night long, which made her happy.

It wasn't until late at night that Cheng Guotao's mother came to her senses, and she looked at Qin Ya with an indescribable feeling.

"Thank you ma'am."

Thousands of words turned into four words.

When she left Qin Ya's bedroom, this woman gave Qin Ya all her trust. The wife is the noble person in her life and the greatest good fortune for her and her son.

If there was no wife, she and her son would probably still be suffering in the bandit den, living a precarious life all day long.
