Dad, Did You Study Today?

Zhou Huaihai was a candidate who still needed to pass the county-level imperial exam.

His position in the family could be seen as high.

He thought about this back then and visited many county bookstores, but they didn’t work.

The bookstore owners collected books as an investment in students.

Generally, those who scored well and wrote a good book could be regarded as an early connection to goodwill.

For example, his results ……

He did not dare to mention this matter with the family for fear of affecting his family status.

Now Zhou Ping asked so ……

If he denied it, then how could he explain why he did not go to copy books to earn silver to subsidize his family?

After all, the Second Brother gave up studying for him back then.

But if he admitted it ……

Qing had said to this extent as if she had already contacted the bookstore.

How could he keep his face?

Zhou Huaihai held a stomach full of anger.

The Second Brother was a grown-up rugged. What kind of bookstore was blind enough to let him copy books?

Forcibly ignoring Zhou Ping’s words, Zhou Huaihai said, “Girl, you are already old enough to do something not so capricious. Your father has worked in the field for many years but suddenly wants to study. Do you think that is realistic? Is this not a waste of silver.”

Zhou Qing said, “It’s a reality. We have to try to know if it works.”

Zhou Huaihai looked disappointed.

“People can not be so selfish. You only think about your father. Think about your Third Uncle. Your father will study; your Third Uncle’s heart is ……”

Not waiting for Zhou Huaihai to finish, Zhou Ping stomped Zhou Huailin under the table, a pair of eyes brightly looking at him.

Attack him! Attack him!  Attack him!

Zhou Huailin ……

Why would you need to remind me of that?

“I support Second Brother to study.”

Zhou Huaihai ……

Twitching his eyes, were you stupid!

“Back then, when my Big Brother was studying, didn’t I also agree? Now that Second Brother is going to study, I also agree!”

Zhou Huaihai ……

His chest hurts.

Mrs. Sun spat, “Your Second Brother can compare with your Big Brother?”

“Big Brother and Second Brother are indeed different. Big Brother studied, and the whole family was sacrificed to accommodate him alone. Second Brother will study without our help and our sacrifice. Success or failure is Second Brother’s burden, so why would I not agree? There is no need for me to pay. Moreover, I do not understand why you disagree.”

Zhou Huailin’s words were full of resentment.

Old Zhou sighed.

Zhou Huahai looked at Zhou Huailin with a surprised face, “Third Brother, do you blame me?”

Zhou Huailin nodded, “You studied; we paid for you. Your son studied, and we also paid. You say why can’t my son study?”

Zhou Huaihai was about to speak when Old Zhou slapped the table, “All right.”

Mrs. Sun glared at Zhou Qing, “It’s all your fault. Our family would have been peaceful for days if it wasn’t for you.”

Zhou Qing said, “I don’t like to hear that. What did I do? Did I ask the family for money, or did I eat and drink for nothing and not work? Some people eat and drink at home and ask for money every day, and do not do any work. I can’t see what you’re saying, but why are you so opposed to my father’s study? I just don’t understand why? Or let’s split the family!”

Because of the matter of Wang Qiang, Mrs. Wang’s heart was troubled for half a day, “How do you speak, you child! You’re about to get married, and that’s how you talk to your elders when you go to your in-laws’ house?”

Zhou Qing didn’t care about her speech.

“Who is going to get married? Is Auntie talking about me? Who am I getting married to? Is it Wang Qiang, who is crippled, who went to the brothel, and who I beat up in the street?”

Mrs. Wang was angry at Zhou Qing’s comment, making her tear up.

Zhou Huaihai asked three questions in a row.

Wang Qiang? Did he go to a brothel? Did Zhou Qing beat him?

Mrs. Wang shut up.

Zhou Qing looked at Old Zhou and said, “Grandpa, this matter is settled. Tomorrow my father will start to copy and study a book, so you can hire someone to go down with Third Uncle.”

Mrs. Sun shouted, “What the hell, where will the money come from? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning, don’t even think about it!”

Zhou Qing looked at Mrs. Sun and took a handful of copper plates.

When she touched the copper plate, Zhou Qing’s finger touched the same thing.

The piece of silver!

Huh?

She remembered that she had clearly put it on the Pen and Ink Store counter, so how did it get on her again?

What happened?

A doubt crossed her heart. Zhou Qing quickly set it aside and put the copper plate before Old Zhou.

“Grandpa, this is a hundred. Take it first. This should be okay for three or four days. In a few days, I will get the money. When I can get it out, we will continue hiring people. If I fail to get it out, my father will go to the farm, and I will not do anything to reach out to my grandparents.”

Zhou Qing’s words blocked Mrs. Sun’s mouth.

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, but her eyes moved, “I wonder why Qing is so determined to make Second Brother study? Is she looking for a living on her own? This is the first time I’ve ever seen this.

Mrs. Sun immediately said, “D*mn, you girl. Have you learned to hide private money? Take it out. My Zhou family doesn’t do humiliating things.”

As she said this, Mrs. Sun was about to get up and look like she wanted to search her body but was dragged by Old Zhou. She sat there indignantly, glaring at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing rolled her eyes, “If you are dirty, don’t look at others.”

Mrs. Wang’s face instantly turned green, and she almost couldn’t breathe.

Zhou Qing simply took out the rest of the money and put it on the table.

“I borrowed this money from Cheng Wu to buy ink and pens. This much money is left. I can take it out now. But, I will be clear in advance, this is borrowed from Cheng Wu and has to be paid back. If I can’t earn money by then, and this money is spent, you will help pay back the money then?”

Once these words came out, Mrs. Sun’s anger was reduced by half, but she still said aggressively, “Could it be that if you don’t take it out now, you will be able to pay it back yourself when you waste the money? You will still have to take it from home!”

Zhou Qing coldly said, “Who has taken money except for the main family, who keeps taking it!”

Old Zhou glared fiercely at Mrs. Sun and yelled, “Eat! You can’t even have a peaceful meal!”

He turned to Zhou Qing and said, “The matter of your father is settled. If you want to go out and find a living, I’m not against it, but you can’t delay the three meals at home, feed the pigs and chickens, and wash the clothes. Don’t get into trouble outside.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Old Zhou spoke, so Zhou Qing’s heart was finally a little more solid.

Now the money had come to light, so she didn’t have to hide it.

Carrying such a string of money on the body was heavy. It could not be exchanged for silver, as the poor people could not use silver conveniently.

Regarding the chickens and pigs, the original host fed them twice a day, morning and evening, with Zhou Ping helping out in the middle.

She could not come back at noon from the county, so she woke up early to make lunch and warmed it in the pot.

The evening was over, and each went to their respective rooms.

Once Zhou Qing entered the room, she saw Zhou Huaishan working in front of the stove.

Zhou Qing ……

Zhou Qing’s eyes twitched, and she said in dismay, “You killed a chicken again? When?”
