Especially in the past few years, there has been no news from the eldest son, and he has never taken a penny from home. However, the younger son has been constantly asking for money from home. The family's financial resources have inevitably become thinner and thinner.
.
Therefore, Uncle Gong Jian knew that her family had little money left. So she rented out the land at home to a few families in the same village for farming, so they had to pay for daily food, drink, and even daily expenses such as firewood and so on.
Don't worry, you can still save a few taels of silver every year.
But most of the rent collected last year was taken away a while ago because her youngest son wanted to study abroad. The family usually has some expenses, so she knows very well that her husband does not have much money.
When Gong Yaozu heard that his family had no money, his first reaction was disbelief. In his impression, his family's financial situation was very good.
In the village, they are one of the best, and their parents usually don't let them show off outside. But they know that in fact, his family's land is not much less than that of the landlords in the village.
As for the private money of his grandparents, which was later found out by his parents, it was not a small amount. Therefore, in Gong Yaozu's impression, he felt that when he was in the village, that was the real money.
If you are superior to others, you will have whatever you want.
But what is his mother telling him now? She said that the family has no money. This ridiculous excuse makes Gong Yaozu think that there is something wrong with his mother's brain. How can the family have no money? Not to mention the fees for the land rented out by the family.
The rent is enough for their annual expenses, and the private money left by his grandparents is not just for young and old.
Gong Yaozu didn't even want to think about it. This impression still lingered in his childhood memory. Ever since he went to private school, he kept asking for money from his family. He had never calculated how much he needed to get from his family this month.
Money. After he had no money anyway, he asked someone to bring a letter home and asked his parents to find a way to raise money for him.
And the reason why he is like this is not just because he looks like his elder brother and imitates him. He remembers that when his elder brother was in private school, it was the first and most important thing in the family. Whenever the elder brother proposed something
His parents would not disagree with the request, but no matter how excessive the request was, his parents would not frown.
He remembered that the books and stationery his eldest brother used when he went to private school were all brand new and of high quality, the kind that only the rich in the town could afford.
Therefore, after he went to private school, his requirements were stricter than that of his elder brother, and the things he used were higher than those of his elder brother. Only in this way could he feel that he was the most valuable person and that he would be the natural one in the future.
He is someone who wants to be a high official.
He had never calculated how much money he and his eldest brother had taken from the family. And in his mind, the two of them would one day empty out all the gold and silver in the family.
Of course, Gong Yaozu would not take the initiative to recognize the reality in front of him. He asked incredulously: "Mother, how come there is no money left at home? Are you kidding me?"
Hearing her youngest son asking her question in such a doubtful tone, Gong Jian's aunt also wanted to tell him that she was joking. But in fact, it was not the case. She couldn't help but said: "Well, there has been nothing special at home these years.
Income. Well, your eldest brother and you go to private school and pay a lot of tuition every year, and the daily expenses are also very high..."
Before Gong Jian could finish these words, Gong Yaozu immediately jumped up from his chair. He stood up straight and said sternly: "Mom, what do you mean by this? Do you think all the money in this family should be given to the eldest brother?"
Spend it? How could he do this? I have to argue with him."
Gong Yaozu instinctively forgot about the expenses he spent on going to private school. In his mind, it was that his brother spent too much money when he went to school, so that his family had no money now.
Why didn't he want to think about the fact that his brother stopped going to private school three years ago. But he himself had been studying in a private school in the town for more than ten years.
You can tell just by counting time. In terms of expenses, Gong Yaozu must account for the majority, but he doesn't care so much. In his mind, the money his family spends on himself is natural. After all, he will spend a lot of money on himself in the future.
But I want to give them a good future.
Aunt Gong Jian also heard what her youngest son said, but she did not correct her. Also, she was still waiting for her youngest son to earn a living for her, so how could she dislike her youngest son for spending too much money?
Just now, it was just because her family really had no money, and her youngest son looked like he didn't believe it. She had no choice but to tell the truth. But now it seems that her youngest son already knows that there is no money in the family.
, as for who the money is spent on, this is not a very important thing.
So Aunt Gong Jian followed Gong Yaozu's words and nodded casually: "Yes, anyway, the family has no money now. This year's rent for those lands will not be available until after the autumn harvest."
There is no shortage of food at home, but there is really no money left. Fortunately, they live in a mountain village, so they can still live a normal life even if they have no money. There must be food. As for vegetables, for Aunt Gong Jian, this is
Something that can no longer be simple.
From Gong Jian's point of view, the vegetable gardens in the entire village's backyards are used to grow vegetables for their families. As long as she takes a fancy to it, she will get her hands on that vegetable without being tough and secretive.
She is just worried now that the family has no money and will not be able to pay for her youngest son's expenses. After all, his studying in a private school is the most important thing.
Gong Yaozu, who had been standing there blankly from just now, was still having trouble accepting the reality that his family had no money left.
Even though he just blamed his brother for the most expensive thing in the family, he was actually very uneasy. Could he still understand that after all, his brother only attended a private school in the village, unlike him, who was in the town?
For those who go to private school, his expenses are only much more than that of his brother.
Gong Yaozu just acted instinctively and didn't want to admit that Qi Qi's family had no money left. The main responsibility lay with him.
Another point is that he never expected that his family would become so poor and that they would have no money left. Obviously Gong Jian’s family is getting better and better, so making money should be very easy.
.Why is my family getting poorer and poorer?
At this time, Gong Yaozu secretly sighed that he was unlucky. Otherwise, if he won something big in the past few days, he would be able to earn some money to spend. There would be no need to stand here and wait for his mother to give him money like now.
He tried his best to find some money. (To be continued)
