Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

What father would be unhappy if his son wanted to make progress?

But the family will have enough to eat. [ ] has a large population, but it is thanks to his second uncle's constant support that the family has no worries about what to eat. Now I have a job like this in Bocheng's family. The family collects vegetables from nearby villages and transports a cart to her shop every day. Every day, the family can earn dozens of cash for the least, and one or two hundred cash for the rich. It is very good. Contented.

If the younger son goes to school, the family will be extremely poor.

Lao Lutou wanted to scold his grandson, but he couldn't open his mouth. When Su's father saw that Xiao Qingxing had done something bad because of his talk, he glared at Xiao Qingxing, and Xiao Qingxing walked back to the room languidly.

Lu Shengcai was nearby and saw that he was willing to make progress. He thought that among the three Lu family brothers, only his three sons had gone to school, and none of his eldest brother and younger brother's sons had gone to school, so he impulsively said that he would pay for the repair.

Lao Lutou was very happy when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.

"This is a big deal. You'd better go back and discuss it with Mrs. Wu. Few of us in the countryside can afford to go to school, and those who don't go to school can live the same life. Don't make your family restless because of your children's schooling. Your brothers will also be upset. There is a gap.”

Uncle Lu also said that he would wait until he saves some more money before considering sending his children to school.

But Lu Shengcai's words had been spoken and he could not take them back.

He feels that it is not a big problem for him to support five or eighty taels a year. But when Lao Lutou asked him to go back and discuss it with Wu, he didn't take it to heart. Wu was a considerate person and would definitely agree. He just asked Bo Xiang to go back and wait for news, and notify him when he found the private school.

Su Qingyu glanced at Lu Shengcai, then at Lao Lutou and Uncle Lu and his son, but did not interrupt.

As Su Qingyao expected, Wu did not agree.

Lu Shengcai opened a small shop and didn't make much money. Throughout the year, he paid a little today and a little tomorrow. How much money did he give to the countryside?

Do you want to help Lu Boxiang study? Does Lu Shengcai not know how expensive studying is?

His two sons are both studying. Although they don’t have much to study in a year, pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and books don’t cost money? All brought by the strong wind? A book can easily cost one or two taels, and the more expensive ones are even more expensive. Is this what people in the countryside can afford to read?

That arrogant Su family had only opened her shop for a few dozen days, yet she dared to send her brother to school! She was waiting to see if she had no money and cut off her brother's support. Her brother was kicked out of the private school in despair.

Lu Shengcai, did he drink too much? He actually wanted to help his brother's son go to school!

After offering Lu Boxiang, what about the other boys from the Lu family? If Lu Boshou disappears in the future, will his children also have to be taken over to educate him?

Wu doesn’t agree with anything!

Lu Shengcai didn't expect Wu's reaction to be so intense, and he couldn't believe it. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

In her impression, Mrs. Wu has always been soft-spoken and reasonable. During the holidays, he asked her to buy gifts and send them back to Shanghe Village, and she handled them very well.

"You don't have much money to study for a year. The private school that Su's younger brother goes to is only 20 taels per semester. In addition to the apprenticeship ceremony and the annual gift for the master, it is only 56 taels of silver. Bo When Zu goes to the county, why don’t I get him a few taels?”

"Ah, you still want to take advantage of Bozu?"

"That's not what I meant. What I want to say is that our family can still afford five or six taels a year. As for other pens and inks, my younger brother can buy them if he has money. If he doesn't have money, he can use yellow paper to practice calligraphy. When our family was in bad times in the early years, Bo Cheng used yellow paper with rough edges to practice large calligraphy. "

Wu couldn't listen.

"It's not as simple as you think. How much is a year's study? The biggest expense is pen and ink books. When the time comes for him to read, and when it comes time to spend money, your brother spreads his hands and says that he can't afford it at home. Will you just watch and ignore it? Everyone in the town will watch the excitement. Can you give me a little here and a little there? How much is enough?"

She didn't give birth to Lu Boxiang, so why should he spend her money?

"Besides, you have been separated from that family. You don't have any share of the homestead or the fields. You still take a lot of money from the family every year, and now you have to support your brother and son in school? Have you ever thought about Bozu Bozong and Bo Zong? Yuzhu?"

"Why don't I miss them? They are all my flesh and blood. How can I cut my own blood to feed others and starve them?"

"Just think about them. Then do you know how old Bozu is? He is only three months younger than Bo Cheng! Bo Cheng is already married, and he hasn't settled down yet. I'm looking at him, and he has better families now. The girl is so noble that she has to be snatched away. Our family's wealth is not enough. And Yuzhu, she is fifteen this year. How much dowry have you prepared for her to marry naked like Su? Come here? Let her be teased and tortured by her husband's family? And Bo Zong, he still needs money in the future. Think about the betrothal money for your two sons and the dowry for your daughter. Have you saved enough? And you have to pretend to be fat!"

Lu Shengcai was stunned by what Wu said.

After a long time, he defended in a low voice: "There is no shortage of these four or five taels."

"Why are there no shortages? Four or five taels is enough for your youngest son to study for a year! With these four or five taels, maybe Bozu will be able to meet a bole who appreciates him at the poetry meeting. Don't you want him to have a reputation? ? Or do you want to push him to the cannibal battlefield and let his bones be buried there? "

Lu Shengcai remembered that one of his sons had already passed away, and he couldn't bear the thought of another one passing away. I couldn't answer the question for a while.

Wu didn't let go at all.

She has no feelings for Lao Lu's family, and they are not her biological parents. When Ms. Liu was still alive, the old couple looked at her eyes and nose and thought she had forgotten?

If you want to study, go earn your own money! What's wrong with taking money out of other people's pockets?

Today I picked out two big hens from the chicken coop, and I didn't mention sending one or two to her. They were all left by Su Shi in the store.

Humph, I feel a lot of tonic just after I got pregnant. Is there a golden baby in my belly?

Turning around, he saw Lu Shengcai sitting in a chair in a daze. After thinking about it, he softened his body and walked over, following him.

He coaxed: "Mr. Lang, don't blame me for being stingy. The three children are the flesh of my ten-month pregnancy. When I think of Bozu Bozong having no money to study and being drafted into the battlefield, my heart is cut with a knife." Same. And Yuzhu, if she marries into a small family, she might end up being a widow in the future. When I think about this, I can't sleep, but I'm just afraid that you won't be able to pay for it. , when the time comes, your brothers will blame you, your parents will not understand you, and you will not be human inside and out. Others don’t know how hard it is for you to make money, but I know that sometimes you can’t make it in time to buy goods, and you can only sleep in the wild. , I can only eat pancakes without water, who knows that I am the only one who really cares about you after suffering so much."

After hearing these words, Lu Shengcai remembered that when he was a salesman, he carried a load through the streets and alleys, into villages and villages, up mountains and down slopes... No one could understand the pain. I often have to make room in my bag to put two pairs of shoes, because sometimes I wear out more than one pair in a day.

It took many years of hard work to open the store.

There were many people running a grocery store, but there were no customers in the store at first, so he had to go to the streets to sell and shout... He was the one who looked after the store, purchased goods, and sold the goods. He was the assistant, shopkeeper, and owner...

Thinking of the past makes me feel a little sad. He shook Wu's hand and said, "You still understand me. I shouldn't have blamed you just now. I'll think about it again."

"Yes." Wu responded softly and leaned on his shoulder.
