Under Zhou Sheng's father's inner calculation, he had already planned for his younger son to come here.
When his son passed the exam and became a scholar, Zhou Sheng's father felt that it was already blessed by his ancestors. By then, he would have his own income. You must know that although a scholar is not an official, it is tax-free.
, although the family has no land and has always relied on the ancestral business, the grocery store, but it cannot be resisted because the relatives have money and are ordinary people.
After a son becomes a scholar, naturally those wealthy families or landowners will save their money and come over to ask for the land to be tied to their son's name so that it can be tax-free. But who will give them tax-free money in vain?
It will be in the hands of my son, and I can use the money to support my son to continue taking the exam, which will be enough for him to gain fame in the next step.
It can be said that Zhou Sheng's father has thought about these things many times in his mind. Anyway, he is all day long and has nothing to do, so he will think about all these things.
, let him think clearly at that time, how should his son go to study and take the exam for fame?
Zhou Sheng's mother naturally pricked up her ears when she heard her husband talking about the money. He was the most concerned about this matter and was also the most worried about it before. After all, the eldest son and his wife were at home, but with him
Many stories have been told about a family selling off all their property just to pay for a scholar.
So Zhou Sheng's mother can be said to be particularly sensitive to money. She was originally very sensitive to this matter. It can be said that in this family, apart from Zhou Sheng's eldest brother, the most sensitive person is Zhou Zhou's mother. After all, she usually has to
She manages the grocery store and is very concerned about every penny she earns.
And the one who is most attuned to him in the family is her eldest son. This is why Zhouzhuang's mother is so happy when she sees her eldest son. She always feels that her son is the most attentive to her. As for her men, they can only do it if they have wine.
Don't worry about other things, there is no one who can sleep until dawn, even the youngest son of this family
Showing how much he cares about winning money, at least send him to be an apprentice. He has never asked how much apprenticeship is required and has never cared about whether the family will have money to buy rice next month. Only the eldest son can do these things.
Only then can you ask a few questions, only then can you truly care about the situation at home, and only then can you share the pressure on yourself.
It's not that Zhou Sheng doesn't understand the urgency of life at home and doesn't even ask him, or that she really doesn't understand these vulgar things and feels that her rice is blown by the wind. The most important thing is that he once asked him
However, he was dismissed by his eldest brother and his mother with two words. From then on, his eldest brother always looked at him with a strange look and Zhou Sheng never dared to ask such a question again.
It's just that Zhou Sheng's timid retreat turned him into his own youngest son when it came to Zhou Sheng's mother. He looked like he didn't know the heights of the world and the coldness and warmth of the world. If Zhou Sheng knew about this, he would probably feel very wronged in his heart.
Having said that, Zhou Zhou's mother is indeed very sensitive to winning money, so he immediately caught the loophole in Zhou Sheng's father's words? How could there be 200 taels of silver when you said 200 taels of silver? Zhou Sheng's mother knew very well,
Zhou Sheng’s father explained
In his place, where the flies were, there was only 100 taels of silver. Why is this old man here now actually saying that there are 200 taels of silver? Is he an old fool or he has not completely dug out the place, and half of the silver is still lying outside.
.
When Zhou Sheng's father heard his mother-in-law's question, his heart skipped a beat. Oops, he was so happy that he forgot to keep his mouth shut and just told the truth.
But now that he has said it, what else can he do? You can't take what you said just now, and looking at the mother-in-law's eyes that have widened, Zhou Sheng's father knows that he can't get over it, and it really has a meaning.
As you said, I forgot about that last time. The parents actually left two shadows.
I will only tell you one thing. Last time, I was not pressed for time, so I forgot that there was still 100 taels of silver for children to study. Now that the waiter is studying, since the gentlemen said it is good, then we will support it, and you should not pay for the money.
I'm worried, these parents have already made preparations, which shows that our family is going to have a government official.
As for what Zhou Sheng's father said, he had forgotten what he said. His mother didn't believe it at all, but he was more concerned about the fact that there really was another hundred or two pieces of silver, so he had to speak again.
, tell me where you put the other one hundred taels, and I will bring it over now. Who knows if the place you hide is safe or not? If it is bitten by a mouse, I will see what you will do!
Zhou Zhou's father was helpless. The hard money could still be eaten by rats. Of course, he didn't doubt the possibility of being stolen by rats. But since the money was put where it should be last time, he didn't doubt it.
Maybe this sum of money will disappear.
But seeing the aggressive look on his mother-in-law's face after asking the question, Zhou Sheng's father turned around what he wanted to say and swallowed it back. He could only hide his money in another place.
Where to tell Zhou Sheng's mother without waiting for what he was talking about?
As soon as he told me where the silver was, Zhou Sheng's mother rolled up her arms and sleeves and ran to that place to start looking for it. Soon the other hundred taels of silver were also dug out by Zhou Sheng's mother, looking at the white flowers.
The injured mother's eyes were so hot that she couldn't get the hundred taels of silver into her hands.
.But the second-born mother felt that the silver should be kept with her to be safe. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and planned to lock the silver in his usual cabinet. But who knew that as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was hit by the hand of his own man.
Zi stopped him, and the money on the table was also held in his arms by his own man.
Seeing that the money she was about to receive was not securely in her hands, Wednesday's mother immediately frowned. This was not the same as when she felt a little troubled just now, and her frown looked like she had met someone from several generations.
He stared at Zhou Sheng's father fiercely like an enemy. Moreover, he kept glancing at the bag of silver held in Zhou Sheng's father's arms.
Under such ferocious eyes, Zhou Sheng's father couldn't help but shudder even though he was confident in his heart. However, he held on tightly and refused to let go of the money. But it was obvious that he was no match for his mother-in-law.
Wow, he was trembling all over under the mother-in-law's fierce gaze.
