At first, it was just the man's one-sided cold expression, but Jin'er Niang truly loved her husband and was not angry at all. She only focused on coaxing him.

But once the problem arises but is not solved, it will eventually break out. Although Jin'er Niang coaxed him, she still persisted in such a big matter. She knew in her heart that her beloved husband really could no longer

I have nothing to do and spend all day holding a book in my hand.

Because this is impossible in the first place. If it were even possible, she wouldn't want him to give up his favorite books. But he has made no progress over the years and will never pass the exam, so why waste time?

But Jin'er Niang had her own reasons for thinking this way, but when it came to the man's mind, it was another reason. He only insisted on his own decision, and was determined that he wanted to take the scientific examination path.

He just felt that he was unlucky. After studying for so many years, he also felt that he had learned very well. His friends also said that he was talented. Even the beauties thought that he was extremely powerful.

He also felt that it was not his fault, maybe it was just his lack of luck. If he persevered, he would definitely be able to gain fame one day. By then, power, status, money and a house would be all he wanted.

Why is this mother-in-law at home so short-sighted? Now that she has the ability, won’t she also enjoy the blessings when the time comes! Why can’t she wait any longer!

A conflict arose. The man didn't want to listen to Jin'er Niang's nagging and earnest persuasion, so he just didn't want to go back to this house. Anyway, he still had a lot of money with him, he had friends outside, and he wouldn't starve to death.

But he never thought that the silver was the veil that Jin'er Niang had embroidered for how long before he could get so much money. Because he had to go out, Jin'er Niang was afraid that he would not be able to go out without money, so she gave him all the money at home.

Already.

He has never worried about money. He only needs to eat and drink every day and hold a book, and he feels that he is already doing serious things. He does not care about where the money comes from? Who cooks the food? Who takes care of the housework?

Who will prepare clothes and shoes for the family?

He didn't know anything. Just because he didn't know anything and didn't have to worry about anything, he had developed that innocent look before.

Jin'er Niang was very anxious, but she could never find where he had gone. She only knew how to embroider and did not understand poetry and calligraphy, so every time the man went out to meet friends, he would never mention it to her, let alone introduce him to her.

know.

She could only wait at home, and she had to seize the time to embroider the veil. There was not enough money at home, and Jin'er was growing up quickly, so she had to buy a new set of clothes... Money was needed everywhere, but she didn't embroider the veil.

There would be no silver.

What is Jin'er's wife waiting for? What she is waiting for is the man who comes back asking for silver. He wants one hundred taels of silver. He just wants money and doesn't say what he wants to do.

At that time, a yard and a house cost less than a hundred taels of silver. She spent several years scraping together the money to buy the house. Plus the money from the sale of her old house, she also sold her beloved bracelet.

I scraped together more than one hundred taels and bought the courtyard and three houses.

So the family was very poor. The money she earned was only enough for daily expenses, and the remaining money was only a few taels, a hundred taels! How could she raise that!

"No? We don't have a hundred taels of silver at home anymore? What's going on?" the man said with a frown.

He has no worries about eating and drinking, and likes to pay money when going out. He is always the most generous among his friends. He can eat several taels of silver in one meal, so in his opinion, one hundred taels of silver is not a big deal.

Count the numbers.

That's why he promised Miss Yan'er so easily that he would redeem her life. But now he told him that his family didn't even have a hundred taels of silver. How could he do it in front of so many people?

If you say it, how can you keep your words but not your words!

And Miss Yan'er, she was such a kind and talented woman, how could she sink to this? He must save her! She looked at him with tears in her eyes, obviously believing in him.

Then how could he break trust with others? He must never let down Miss Yan'er's trust!

"How much money is there in the house? Give it to me. I'll find a way to collect the rest."

He just thought that his family was still short, at least seventy or eighty taels of silver! For the rest, he would go to his friends to borrow more than a dozen taels of silver. If a few people borrowed a little bit, he would definitely be able to raise it. He usually

When Li Qing and the others ate, one meal would cost five or six taels of silver.

"Husband, can you tell me what you need so much silver for? One hundred taels is not a small amount. What do you need so much silver for?"

"Why do you care so much? I want to save people. Do you know that the money to save lives is naturally a lot of money." The man said impatiently.

"Who does daddy want to save? Why should daddy save him?"

Jin'er also heard a voice coming out of the house, and heard her father say that to save people, a lot of money was needed. She was naturally angry. She had never seen a fool like her father these days.

He doesn't earn a penny, and the family relies entirely on his mother. He also likes to eat, drink and have fun with his friends, but he doesn't know that they are cheating him out of his money! Now he's doing this again, and he's starting to ask for so much money!

The man felt a little uncomfortable when his daughter saw him. He became more and more upset and just wanted to take the money and leave as soon as possible.

"What do you, a little girl, know? Daddy naturally wants to save the poor person. She has been begging for her life. How can he ignore her?"

The man was very proud, thinking that he was kind-hearted and saved people from fire and water.

"Then why don't dad pity my mother? The whole family relies on my mother to make money from embroidery to make a living. She works non-stop day and night, and her eyes are almost broken, so that we can eat and drink without worrying about money. How can she

I'm sorry, why didn't dad save mom..." Jin'er choked.

Although she is only thirteen years old this year, she understands a lot of truths. How can her father do anything and rely on his wife to support him? How can he achieve anything!

Now I have to use my family’s money to become a hero outside, don’t even think about it!

The man's face turned red when his daughter choked him, and he stammered and didn't know how to defend himself.

"What's so pitiful about your mother? It's impossible for her to do nothing but embroider a veil. Isn't that what she's best at? So what's the point of hard work? Where does the pity come from? I'm not pitiful? I do it every day

I have to get up early. No matter it's freezing cold or the heat is unbearable, I have to get up and study. I don't do this for my family. If I can go to high school, then..." The man was obviously excited as he spoke.

It's like he's already in high school, so why would he ask his mother-in-law for money? It's only a hundred taels, how can such a mother-in-law be needed?

Jin'er felt that he was hopeless. When she was a child, she knew that her father was a scholar, and she felt proud for a while. But as she grew up, she realized that studying was just an excuse for him not to do work to make money!

How could he study seriously? In three days and two, he went to communicate with so-called like-minded friends. They said they were exchanging poems and books, but in fact they just went to drink and have fun. When he came back, he was full of confidence and felt that he would pass the exam.

.

Later, she no longer believed in him, but her mother was still afraid of hurting him, so she still worked hard, just to make more money, buy him books and entertain him.

The family really didn't have much money, and Jin'er Niang remained silent. She planned to use the money to buy some materials and cotton wool to make a set of cotton-padded clothes for her family, so this money was considered a top priority and he couldn't let him take it away.

.

Jin'er Niang didn't say anything, which annoyed the man. He was very angry. Why was the mother-in-law not obedient? Sure enough, my friend was right. Mother-in-laws cannot be spoiled, and men have to take the money from the family.

That's right. If she doesn't obey, she should be beaten and she will be obedient after being kept.

In the past, he felt that the two of them had some kind of friendship, and she was reasonable enough and good at taking care of others, and he himself was not the kind of person who liked to tease others, so he had never beaten or scolded her once.

Have you started to act recklessly now?

"I ask again, how much money do you have at home? Give it to me. I have to save people. I have already promised them."

Jin'er Niang was about to burst into tears. She really didn't have that much money at home, and the remaining money was used to make cotton-padded clothes for the winter.

"The family only has a dozen taels of silver in total. I want to use it to buy cotton and materials. It's getting cold. You and Jin'er both have to make cotton-padded clothes..." Jin'er's mother said in a low voice.

"What did you say? Ten taels of silver? Where's the money at home? I remember you sold a good pair of embroidery last time for more than forty taels of silver? Where's the silver?"

Jin'er Niang was really surprised now. She raised her head to look at him with tearful eyes. She always thought that he didn't know about the money at home and was focused on studying and didn't care about these things. Then why did he know this matter so clearly?

The man felt uncomfortable being looked at by Jin'er Niang and looked elsewhere. He wasn't plotting against her, he just happened to see her that time. It was only then that he realized that the little girl she embroidered a few times on weekdays was...

A small piece of embroidery can actually sell for such a high price!

How much does a meal cost? Their family must have a lot of money!

After that, he spent even more money, because in his mind, his family was extremely rich. Whenever he went to eat or drink, he would rush to pay, and he didn't care about the small amount of money anyway.

"The money is still from the time before. I left some household expenses, and you took the rest with you. Don't you know how much money you have?"

"You, you are so presumptuous! How dare you talk to me like that!" the man said angrily.

How could he know how much money he had on him? Look at which man counts money. Anyway, there is only one package in the silver bag. How could he have counted it?

"Anyway, the family has no money left, so my husband should tell that man! I'm really sorry, but I can't save him."

Jin'er Niang thought in her heart that her husband had been deceived by someone else again. It must have been a lie made up by some "friend" who wanted to coax him out of his money.

"Impossible, I promised to save her, and it's too late. I can't abandon her! You don't know, if I don't save her, she will definitely suffer misfortune..." The man was very excited

, kept explaining how miserable a person would be if he didn’t have himself.

"But how can I save my husband? There are so many people in this world, and that one is not the only one who is unlucky. We are powerless, so how can we save people from danger?"

"Mian Niang, why have you become like this now? You used to have a kind heart, but why do you say such cruel words now!"

The man didn't seem to recognize his wife anymore and looked deeply shocked.

Jin'er didn't want to talk when she was nearby. She felt that her father was mentally ill and her mother was not kind if she didn't save people. There were so many people in the world and they were not Bodhisattvas. How could they save all sentient beings!

Moreover, their family was not a wealthy family to begin with, so why did her father become so stupid in reading that he led himself into the role of a savior?

"Am I cruel? If your husband says this, I have nothing to say, but there is no money. If your husband wants to save you, you can make money yourself!" Mian Niang was also very angry, and it was rare for her to say such cruel words.

Come.

"I really don't recognize your appearance now. When I married you, you were not like this... Anyway, I will find a way on my own. This family can't tolerate me now, and you don't think I'm profitable either."

Money? Then I don’t want to go back to this home!"

The man only glanced at Mian Niang, then turned around and left. He seemed to have a lot of backbone.

"Husband—" Mian Niang shouted and was about to chase him.

"Mom!" Jin'er grabbed her mother and stopped her from chasing her father.

"If he wants to leave, then just leave. If you chase him back, he wants a hundred taels of silver. How will you give it to him?" Jin'er said quickly.

"Jin'er, he is your father... I, if I sell the jewelry, I can get a similar amount..." Mian Niang said with tears in her eyes.
