Chapter 208 Dabao and Erbao wish you a happy new year
Soon, the women of the Zhu family realized something was wrong.
It was already time to eat, and the mother-in-law who said she was going to pick someone up had already shown up, but the "third brother and sister/sister-in-law" never showed up. What happened?
Ye Yuran sat on the main seat with a serious face and announced the fact that she divorced her third wife yesterday "in a fit of rage" and made it clear: "You want to go back to your in-laws' house, okay, just tell me
I don’t have any objections at all when I occasionally come back for a day or two. But if she doesn’t show up until she returns home in June, that’s outrageous. Is she going back to her parents’ home? Is she preparing to live in her parents’ home and take root?
.”
"It's okay not to have such a daughter-in-law."
The Liu family, the Liu family, and the Lin family didn't dare to say anything at all.
These days, no woman wants to be "divorced". Once she is divorced, her whole life will be ruined.
Li, the only one who knew the truth, lowered her head and shut her mouth tightly.
Just kidding, Niangdu warned her over and over again, but she didn't dare to reveal the "truth".
Looking up at Zhu San, who had a neutral expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart: How pitiful, he was actually cuckolded!
Zhu San reacted sensitively and looked over immediately.
Li felt guilty and quickly looked away.
Zhu San: "..." Why does he always have the illusion that he is being pitied by his four younger siblings?
Old man Zhu had no idea that when he got up after a nap, the mother-in-law who went to pick up his daughter-in-law didn't pick up anyone, but the daughter-in-law also lost one?
He looked shocked: "Just divorce like this? Did they agree? Old lady, you..."
"What's wrong with me? I can't make the decision anymore? Which daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home for half a year at a time? Is her father disabled or her mother dead and she needs to take care of her?" Ye Yuran said coldly.
Scanned back.
"But what should we do about the third child?" Old Man Zhu looked at Zhu San, hoping that his son would be tougher and express some opinions, "If you divorce his wife, he will have no wife."
Who knows, Zhu San pretended not to hear, lowered his head and looked at his bowl.
Old man Zhu was so angry: Boy, your mother-in-law is gone, why don't you say something? Can you be a little more successful?
Zhu San:......
"You can't look for her anymore. When did my old Zhu family lack a daughter-in-law?" Ye Yuran said, "What is the purpose of a daughter-in-law who doesn't care about her husband's family at all? Let her supplement her parents' family? If she has the energy to supplement her parents' family, what else can she do?
It is better to find a better daughter-in-law."
In front of everyone, he also "comforted" Zhu San, saying that the Zhu family's life would get better and better in the future, and he would definitely not be short of a wife.
"I keep it in my heart. I have already thought about it. After the new year and spring, the third child will go on a long trip. When he comes back, everything will be ready."
"Where do you want the third child to go?" Old Man Zhu asked, "Didn't you say that he stayed to help my family farm?"
Although he really didn't want to remind the old lady of the "bet", once the third child left, wouldn't he be missing someone?
Ye Yuran said unceremoniously: "With just a few acres of land at home, what will happen if one person is missing? How many of your sons are still young, and they are full after being given a bowl of soup? Didn't you see that the fourth child has already figured out that he is full?"
Come on, the second child and the fifth child are still waiting to be born. If you don’t find a way out at this time, when your grandsons are running all over the land, who will you be able to support with those acres of land?"
"It's not like I haven't worked. Go to the village and ask yourself, how many acres of land does my family have? Who has the highest yield? I must have planted it. Do you really think that farming is like cooking? You can cook whatever you have.
Can it be produced? This is a technical job. Can the products produced by people who do not know how to farm and those who know how to farm be the same?" Old Man Zhu retorted.
"It's different. You won't know until you plant it. Don't keep talking about your farming. What we are talking about now is to find a way out for the sons in the family. You can do the calculations on your own fingers. Just what you are doing
How many acres of land do you plan to share with each son in the future? Is it enough? Let me not say whether it is enough or not. Let me ask you again, is one acre of land enough for a family? Go to the village and see for yourself which family has one?
Can an acre of land support a large family?"
"I... I'm already thinking about opening up wasteland, but I haven't decided which area to open yet."
"Then what do you think of you? I'll find some other ways for my sons to try. What if they find a new way? It's better than sitting at home and waiting, right?"
"I didn't say anything." Seeing that he couldn't speak, Old Man Zhu could only admit defeat.
"We just ate without saying anything, and the matter was settled." Ye Yuran also looked at Zhu San and told him that he would come to see her after dinner. She had something to confess.
Zhu San responded.
Of course he knew why his mother was looking for him. She must be afraid that he was still sad about the "cuckold" thing and wanted to comfort him.
Sigh...it feels really sour to have someone remind him of this kind of thing all the time!
Zhu San wanted to run away, but when he heard what Ye Yuran was talking about, he was stunned for a moment: "Is this what mother told me?"
"Who is this?" Ye Yuran rolled his eyes at him with disgust, "With so many people in the family, you are the only one who has some courage. You can't really want to lead your fourth and fifth brothers to sell fish for the rest of their lives, right? What if?
In that case, you will be merchants. You brothers must not interfere with business matters. Even if you want to do it, you should let the women in the family handle it. After a woman does business, even if it is a big deal, she will only earn money, understand.
?”
"Mom, do you really think that Dabao and Erbao can read?" As for the younger brother that my mother mentioned, Zhu San simply ignored him.
He felt that it must be "impulsive" that his mother suddenly wanted to throw these three to the town to study. Doesn't his mother know how much it costs to go to a school? Sixteen taels per person, that can buy eight acres.
The land is poor, but if it is better, you can buy two or three acres, which will be enough for a family's expenses.
How much does it cost for three people to practice?
Zhu San couldn't calculate the debt, but he always felt that if the money could be used to buy land, his family would never have to worry about going hungry again.
"I don't know where I can read, but your little brother will definitely be able to pass the examination as a child student." Ye Yuran was very sure.
What is the imperial examination?
The exams are things like Mo Yi, oral exams, scriptures, policy questions, poems and poems. If a scholar wants to take the exams like policy questions, Ye Yuran is not sure, but if it is a "children's exam", she is more or less confident.
.
If she remembers it well, in the memory of the original owner, the young master the original owner served had participated in the "Children's Examination".
The Tongsheng Examination is difficult because it covers a wide range of subjects, and you can easily determine which category of the Four Books and Five Classics you will be tested on. But if you want to say it is simple, it is also simple because it mainly focuses on the meanings and scriptures, and the main test is
There is no such thing as "recitation" yet.
