Unconsciously, Uncle Gong Jian turned over again. He had to plan carefully how to use these four taels of silver to support the past two years so that Yaozu could successfully pass the exam. As long as Yaozu could pass the exam
If the next scholar becomes a scholar, their family will be able to feel proud.
He remembered that when he asked the old people in the village, they told him that this was from Liba Township and there were not many scholars. After taking the exam to become a scholar, the family's land would no longer have to pay taxes, and the family would not have to pay taxes.
There is no need to do corvee anymore, and more importantly, the county has to distribute some money every year to support the scholars to continue their studies.
After Yaozu passed the examination as a scholar, Uncle Gong Jian believed that the people in the village would rush to curry favor with his family, and by then it would be easy to get what he wanted.
So after thinking about it, the most important thing now is how to ensure that Yaozu studies well and can pass the exam. But before that, I have to deal with him well tomorrow, otherwise this child is really lawless and wants to go to bed.
The tiles were uncovered.
This time the trouble was huge, and the family's income was suddenly reduced by three-fifths. If he was allowed to let it go like this again, sooner or later, the family would be destroyed in his hands.
Uncle Gong Jian was secretly planning in his mind how he would settle the accounts with Gong Yaozu tomorrow. No matter what, he had to make this kid suffer some physical pain, and he had to have some memory.
Don't act against outsiders, but don't plot against family members.
Uncle Gong Jian couldn't help but sigh again. Why didn't his child look like him? How could he, a shrewd person like himself, give birth to such a stupid son?
Don’t you know how to get some benefits from outsiders by yourself?
In fact, when it comes to Gong Yaozu, he is very much like Uncle Gong Jian. This is definitely what he preaches by words and deeds.
Uncle Gong Jian always felt that his thoughts were only focused on outsiders. But in fact, he, as an outsider, included a wide range of people, not only the people in the village, but also other people he met on the road, even his brothers and
Parents are actually included in his scope as an outsider. In his view, except for his mother-in-law and his children, everyone else is an outsider.
And Gong Yaozu is absolutely the same as him in this regard, and even better than others. To Gong Yaozu, Uncle Gong Jian, the father, and his mother are all outsiders, as long as they are not himself
, that is all within the scope of outsiders.
What they did was absolutely right. They were just looking out for outsiders like you for their own benefit. But in Uncle Gong Jian's heart, he always felt that he was much better than his son, and he never took action against his family members.
This can only be said that a crow standing on a pig's back only sees others being bad and cannot see itself.
When Uncle Gong Jian sighed again, Uncle Gong Jian's wife also opened her eyes that had been closed tightly. She had not fallen asleep that night, and could not fall asleep even thinking about it.
At this time, she listened to the man beside her turning over and over, sighing from time to time, and knew that her man simply couldn't sleep.
Now that she heard her man sighing again, Mrs. Gong Jian no longer forced herself to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep. She simply opened her eyes and stared at Uncle Gong Jian's back.
After a moment, she spoke softly: "Master, how do you plan to treat Yaozu tomorrow?"
This is the thing that worries her the most. Looking at Uncle Gong Jian's performance today, you can tell that he is really angry.
Of course, the man in his family also had reasons to be angry. Aunt Gong Jian knew how much his man valued those five acres of land. And just like this, under his nose, three acres of the five acres of land were
His son had mortgaged it to someone else, and he couldn't get it back.
Aunt Gong Jian also knew very well that the five acres of land that her men valued was ultimately for their family. She knew that the originally rich family fortune had long been empty. Over the years, they had truly realized that the family
It's incredibly expensive to support a scholar.
The huge family fortune left by her parents-in-law was basically gone in their hands in just a short period of more than ten years.
Therefore, the men in the family will pay more and more attention to the five acres of farmland at home. You must know that it is the only source of income for the family.
Regardless of the financial power of the family, it has always been in the hands of Uncle Gong Jian, but Mrs. Gong Jian is also very clear. It can be seen from daily life that Uncle Gong Jian is getting later and later in providing less and less to the family.
.
At the same time, in recent years, when she wanted to donate something to her parents' family, Uncle Gong Jian's face became increasingly ugly.
From these aspects, Aunt Gong Jian also knew that the situation at home was getting worse and worse. That is because the family still had a few acres of land, so they didn't have to worry about food.
If they just live in the village, then there is no problem in living. But the problem is that there is a child like Yaozu in the family who is studying, and the family is looking forward to him passing the exam and becoming a high official in the future.
He led his family to great success.
Therefore, they have always had high expectations for their youngest son, and they believed everything he said to be true. Auntie Gong Jian really never thought that her youngest son would make up a big set of lies to defraud her.
The matter of land deeds.
Even though she knew clearly in her heart at this time, this matter was indeed as revealed by her own man. And her youngest son was full of lies. What Yaozu said to her was all made up by him.
But even so, Aunt Gong Jian still couldn't bring herself to blame her youngest son. On the contrary, she felt that it was because she was useless as a mother, which led to the current conflicts between father and son.
With such thoughts, Aunt Gong Jian doesn't just have to be careful to trap her man. She actually wants to know how her man plans to deal with his little son. Once she knows the truth, she doesn't need to do this anymore.
I'm worried.
When Uncle Gong Jian over there heard this question from his mother-in-law, his face immediately darkened a bit. He also wanted to know what he should do with his little son.
On the one hand, the younger son is now lawless and full of lies. He actually deceived my mother and defrauded most of the family's only income. But on the other hand, he is looking forward to the fact that his younger son will be able to pass the imperial examination next year.
Leading the family to turn over and become prosperous. (To be continued)
