The Full-level Father of the Tool Man

Chapter 44: fourth century

"Don't worry, grandma, this time I will definitely be admitted as a scholar!"

The man dressed as a scholar spoke cautiously, clasping his hands tightly as if to express his determination, he said, "If I don't pass the exam again this time, I won't go to the school and go home to farm."

Opposite him, the two old men nodded with satisfaction, "It's a good thing Shige's ambition is good."

It was the man on the left who pouted and muttered, "I changed my hometown to farm. Didn't he say the same thing last time? Why haven't I seen him come back to farm?"

"Second, are you angry with your nephew?" Mrs. Lin gave him a sideways glance and said with anger, "Besides, you have to intervene in this matter? Bring money from home?"

Lin Shen, the second child of the Lin family, tilted his head and said nothing.

Anyway, he is a lazy person, and he is not qualified to talk at home.

"Mother said that the most tiring work in our family is not the child's father and third brother. If we say that they are the most qualified to say whether or not to study for Shige's children."

The woman who supported Mrs. Lin continued, "Our family is filial, and if I really want to be admitted to a scholar in the future, I will definitely be filial and filial to his third uncle."

Mrs. Lin looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with satisfaction, "That's right, the third child, give me a letter of approval. Are you going to give me a letter or not?"

The room was filled with more than a dozen people, all waiting for the silent man to answer.

And the people in the room actually all knew that the reply from the third child of the Lin family was definitely a 'confession'.

Everyone knows that the third eldest of the Lin family has three daughters, not even a son. Of course, he will rush for his nephew to take the imperial examinations, in exchange for his retirement in the future.

Lin Yishi waited even more quietly, waiting for this third uncle to provide him with the imperial examinations, nothing more than to want him to be filial, so that he can rely on him when he is old, and he is not that stingy. , If it develops in the future, it will naturally not treat the third uncle badly.

But if not later...

Bah, he's so smart, how can he be useless.

Lin Yishi opened his mouth and said, "Third uncle, don't worry, when I am admitted as a scholar, I will definitely repay you and find a good husband for the three younger sisters."

After saying this, the three girls standing behind the third youngest of the Lin family were not happy, but rather worried.

It takes a lot of money to go to school, and it is a lot of money to go to the exam. Where can I get it, I am afraid that I will have to fight my life to make money.

Some feel sorry for their father, and they are sad for their sisters, and one thinks about their cousin, but not their father at all, so how can they live a good life.

One nephew was happy, and three daughters were worried, all waiting for the third child of the Lin family to speak.

The third Lin family opened his mouth and said, "I don't think so."

Very impossible!

At this time, the third child of the Lin family was Lin Qi, who had already received the memory of the original body. After seeing the memory, he wanted to scold his mother again.

The difference this time is that he now belongs to the ancient world.

He became the youngest son of a family in a remote village.

It is said that the youngest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old man.

However, the original body is different, not to mention the two older brothers above, even the two older sisters who have already married, he can't compare, why are parents so biased? It's not that the original body is not good, but it is too good, so it is not seen by the two old people.

In this family, the eldest brother just talks and doesn't do it, the second brother doesn't talk or do it, but the original body only knows to work hard, not only do it by himself, but also pull three girls to do it together.

The father and daughter were four, and they couldn't get a word out of exhaustion.

Their family is the son of a farmer, and their ancestors have never had any child-born talents for ten generations. Finally, they have a grandson who can read. Naturally, they want to smash the pot and sell iron to make offerings.

If only Lin Yishi could pass the test, it would be fine, but he is now twenty-three years old, and he has taken the test no less than three times, not even a child.

There is a father and mother who can speak well, and the two elders of the Lin family are looking forward to a capable person in the family, and they believe in Lin Yishi's rhetoric again and again.

The cost of attending a school is two or three taels of silver a year, and even more for the exam, no seven or eight taels can't get out of the gate of the county.

Part of the money was taken from the Lin family's family, and part of it was from the original work in the town after finishing the farm work.

The same is true of the three daughters who stay at home. They do almost all the work at home. When they are free, they make money by embroidering and braiding, and they have to hand in every piece of money they earn.

When Yuan Shen was working hard outside, he didn't know that his family had made the idea of ​​three daughters, and his family was about to be hollowed out.

The original eldest brother sold her to a fool in another village on the grounds that she could get married at a young age.

After the original body is alone, Da Ya has already married, even if she is not happy, there is nothing she can do. She knows that Da Ya can't live well, but she has no ability to make up for it. She can only sigh a little at night when there is no one there.

But how did he know that the Lin family had to make an inch, sold the big girl and tasted the sweetness, and began to make up the idea of ​​two girls and three girls.

In exchange, the second brother of the original body couldn't see it, and reminded the original body a few words in private, but unfortunately, the original body was a filial and filial person. He didn't believe that his parents would treat himself and his daughter like that, so he immediately went to his parents to ask clear.

The old couple of the Lin family are not stupid, and they say it with hype, where is selling a daughter, it is sending two children to enjoy happiness, and they are sent to rich and noble families.

The old couple are not stupid, they were originally stupid, they were fooled by their father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, and they became true believers.

In this way, the two daughters who have not yet reached the age of marriage, one was given to an old widower who had two dead widows to be 'adopted daughters', and the other was sent to a family outside the town as a personal 'slaves'.

Originally, I thought that the girls were going to enjoy happiness, and I was very grateful to my parents and the nephew who helped me. Only the second brother yelled at him, but he was powerless. Wife and children separated and moved to other places, out of sight.

Hara was grateful, so he worked hard to make money for his nephew.

But where do you know, within two months, news came from the member's family, and the little girl accidentally fell into the pond and died...

Before the grief was restored, the old widower came with news that the second daughter accidentally rolled down the hillside and also died...

The two accidents made Yuan-shen grief, and the eldest daughter who married a fool came back. She didn't make a fuss, just rolled up her sleeves, let Yuan-shen see the scars on her arms, and told him, the two sisters go' Enjoy ', enjoy the blessing of scars all over the body.

After hitting that one, the eldest daughter never came back.

The original body was hit, and the whole person completely collapsed. In the last period of time, he lay in bed and couldn't move. So many people in the family, including his good nephew who always thought he could give him his retirement, did not send him water. Rice, and finally starved to death in a small woodshed...

Yuan Shen's death didn't make anyone in the Lin family sad. Instead, they disliked that he died at an untimely time. He didn't even have a blanket, so he dug a hole and buried it.

In the end, the original second brother couldn't see it, so he erected a monument for him, and burned some money paper every year during Qingming.

Is the original sad?

Lin Qi felt that his three daughters were even more pathetic.

After Erya and Sanya were sent back after their death, anyone could see the scars of abuse on their bodies, and if they thought about it, they would know that their cause of death would not be that simple.

The rest of the Lin family don't care, but what about the original body... Apart from shedding some tears and crying a few times, what did he do?

Perhaps because of this, Da Ya was even more disheartened, so that after the last meeting, even if she heard that the original body was dead, she did not come back to take a look, nor did she kowtow at the original body's grave.

In the whole life of Yuan Shi, the only thing worthy of the three daughters is that he issued a wish after death to let him take care of these three poor girls.

"Third, what do you mean?" Lin Dahu frowned, pretending that he had heard it wrong, he asked again: "My son is admitted to a scholar, it is a blessing for the whole family, we are all one family. , won't you follow along?"

"That's right." Mrs. Huang nodded again and again, "Third brother, you also know that your daughter-in-law died early, and now there are only three girls under her. You don't expect to rely on my family, who can you expect in exchange?"

The two couples said a word, completely pinching the third brother Qicun.

But unfortunately, the current third brother is no longer the original third brother.

Lin Qi lowered his head and sighed, "Of course I'm counting on Brother Shi, otherwise I wouldn't work hard every day just to help him go to school."

Lin Dahu and his wife looked at each other and laughed in unison, seeing that the third brother was so easy to deceive.

Where do you know, Lin Qi used a voice that everyone thought could be heard, and said in a low voice: "But how do I know that Shige'er is so stupid, he took the test three times in a row, and now he has not even passed the test for a child. ."

The sound fell, and the room fell silent.

Lin Yishi's face flushed red. He always considered himself the smartest person in his family, but now his third uncle, whom he despised the most, actually called him stupid?

"Lin Qi! What do you mean!" Huang's eyes were red with anger.

Lin Qihuan didn't answer, but Lin Dahe opened his mouth and laughed loudly, beating his legs while laughing, making people see how happy he is at first glance, "The third brother is so right, hahahahaha, so stupid to think about it. Re-exam? He must have this ability, not to mention the talent, just say that Tong Sheng will always be able to pass the examination? Is it possible that the third brother really wants him to pass the examination?"

As he spoke, he smiled and bent down, "Hahahahaha, my stomach hurts from laughing. For such a stupid person, it's better to give it to my son."

Lin Qi frowned and thought for a while, but he was really thinking, "Second brother, is your brother Min planning to go to the school? Or should I give him a try for two years?"

"…"

Lin Dahe couldn't laugh at this time, he said with a stunned expression: "Aren't you joking?"

Not only him, but everyone else was stunned. The third child really didn't intend to provide for his brother, but chose the second child's son? !

Lin Dahu was anxious, "Third brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Qite said seriously: "I think what the second brother said is very reasonable. If Brother Shi is not good, let's change someone else. How can our family's situation continue to waste, don't all scholars say nothing but three things, Brother Shi? I have taken the test three times, and the test is worse every time, so it is better to give it to another person."

"How can I do it? I've been paying for it for so many years, how can I give up!" Lin Dahu was anxious. There was only such a stupid person in the family who only knew how to work. If Lin Qi quit, who would work and make money? If you want him to do the hard work, he will never go, even if it is his own son.

But to let others testify, he is very willing.

"Brother, you also said that I've been giving for so many years, but as a result, my brother hasn't improved at all. Isn't it a waste to continue giving?" Lin Qi looked at Lin Yishi and sighed, how disgusting he looked like. How disgusting.

Lin Yishi, who was looked down upon, wanted to scold him, but he could only keep it in his heart. His family was all selfish. He knew very well that if the third uncle didn't get the money, the family wouldn't allow him to continue to go to the exam and try to squeeze it out. Laughing, Lin Yishi said: "Third uncle, I promise you that I will pass the test this time. If I fail the test, there will be no next test. Then I will find a bookkeeping job to earn money for my family."

Lin Dahe snorted coldly, "How come I don't remember saying this for the first time? Who knows if there will be another change."

Lin Qi thought for a while, and he said to the two old men sitting in the middle who didn't speak: "Dad and mother, I think Brother Shi has some truth."

Lin Yishi's face lit up with joy, the third uncle was really deceiving.

Lin Dahe changed color, "Third brother!"

Why did you just get enlightened and become confused again?

Lin Qi continued: "Since Brother Shi can find a job in bookkeeping, why not prepare for the exam while working, so that he can earn money for himself, I will work harder here, and provide one more person, two people are better than One person has a great chance.”

The two Lin family originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing this, it really seemed like a good deal.

How could Lin Yishi want, he was going to work as an accountant, so wouldn't his classmates make fun of him? He hurriedly said: "Third uncle, I have to go to work, so I won't have time to study, it will delay my exam."

Mrs. Huang spoke for her son, "That is, reading takes a lot of brains, so he has to study hard without any worries, how can he read while doing work?"

Lin Qi sighed again, "But Brother Shi doesn't work hard like this, and he doesn't know when he will be admitted. Is it true that he has to be dragged to seven or eighty? At that time, my parents were not there, how would I know the honor of my family?"

Mrs. Lin was a little unhappy when she heard this. Why did she just say she wasn't there? When you are old, these words are the most taboo.

Old Master Lin frowned when he heard it, and the confession was sure to be fulfilled. He waited for the Lin family to make a change. When he thought that the people in the village and the town would all cast envious glances, he was happy just thinking about it.

However, although some of the words of the third child are not pleasing to the ears, they are somewhat right.

Shi Ge'er has been reading books for more than ten years, and every time he goes to take the exam, he fails in the first test. If he can live a child's life, he will never say anything, and he will definitely let the third one give it to him.

But... if you can't even pass the first level, is it possible for the latter to be admitted to Tongsheng and become a scholar?

Although there are not many children in the family, there are a few. The third child has only three daughters, but the second child has two sons. Can you put your hope on these two grandchildren?

Lin Yishi saw that Grandpa was moving, and said in a hurry: "Grandpa, the master said, I will definitely be able to hit the scene this time."

Anyway, flick the past to buy yourself time, as for whether you won or not, that will be a matter of the future.

"Master really said that?" Old Master Lin asked.

"Of course it's true, how dare my grandson deceive Grandpa." Lin Yishi came as soon as he opened it, and it was a big deal to give the Master some gifts and let him say the last sentence.

Mr. Lin thought for a while, and said, "The third child, then give Shige'er a chance. If it doesn't work this time, let the two children of the second child attend the school. It happens that both of them will be younger, and they will go to school a year or two later. It's not impossible."

He spoke as if he was asking, but in fact, his tone was very certain. Mr. Lin didn't ask Lin Qi at all, but he had already made a decision.

I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't want Lin Qi to be unwilling to agree.

"Father, I don't agree." Lin Qi's face was stubborn, he spread his hands, the palms and backs were full of scars, old and new, "Look at my hands, I'm really too tired to work outside. , for you, it's just a delay of a year or two, but I don't know if I can hold on for another year or two."

Mr. Lin who was refuted did not feel distressed, but was very angry, "third, what do you mean? Are you blaming me again?"

"Lin Qi, do you have a conscience? If you didn't have a son by your side, how would we let you serve your brother? Instead of letting him think of you, you can think of you when you're old." Mrs. Lin Following the accusations, I don't feel bad for this young son, but I think he has no conscience and can't remember well.

Lin Qi touched his face and said with anguish: "I'm tired, I'm so tired, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to the day when my brother has a future, thinking about how hard I'm going to be in exchange for not being able to enjoy happiness, then It's better not to let Shige'er take the exam."

The rest of the Lin family listened, and suddenly didn't know how to respond. This was the first time they heard the third child shouting that he was tired. They always thought that the third child would not feel tired no matter how hard he worked.

Lin Qi suddenly sat up straight, with determination on his face, "Daddy, I've decided!"

Seeing the expression on his face, others felt a little uneasy for some reason.

Lin Qi clenched his fists and said, "It's better to start enjoying yourself now than to be exhausted to death. I won't make it difficult for you to go to school, Shige.

Lin Yishi was a little stunned, "Third uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Qi pointed at one person, obviously they were two brothers, obviously Lin Yishi's biological father, but he looked much younger, and his hands were white and clean, obviously he didn't do much work.

"Big brother is your biological father, so let him serve you. I have no life in the younger generation, and I will starve to death at home in the future, and I don't need you to collect the corpse."

Anyway, after the original body starved to death, it was not Lin Yishi who came to collect the body.

"You are confused!" Lin Dahu's face changed greatly.

With a 'smack' sound, Mr. Lin's face was ashen, "Lin Qi, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Father, our three brothers, I'm just learning from the two brothers, why are you blaming me?" Lin Qi asked in confusion.

When asked, Mr. Lin was speechless.

The three brothers of the Lin family, the eldest only talks and doesn't do it, the second doesn't do it, and the third wants to follow along. It seems that there is nothing wrong?

But it's not right.

The third child has a good hand. He works outside, and the money he earns can be used for Shige's examinations, and even some surplus to improve the family's meals.

If the third child does not do it, the family will hardly make any money.

Lin Qi didn't care what they looked like, anyway, he wasn't as stupid as he was, and he worked hard to raise such a big family of blood-sucking worms.

Either the whole family earns together, or the whole family is lazy together.

He is very happy to choose the latter, he likes salted fish paralysis.

This conversation ended in an unhappy breakup.

The eldest family was so angry that after returning to the house, Lin Yishi was so angry that he kicked the door.

Lin Dahu glanced at him, "You kick, if the kick is broken, you can fix it yourself."

"..." Lin Yishi stopped kicking the door, instead he stomped.

Sometimes, he wished that he was the son of the third uncle. Anyway, the third uncle would make money, and even if he did not take the imperial examinations, he could still support him.

Unlike his own father, who can't give him anything.

"You said, what happened to the third child? Why did he suddenly become smart?" Huang asked, the third child who became smart was not easy to fool.

"It's not that I was forced to be cruel." Lin Dahu didn't find it strange. He even admitted that the third child was the most tired in this family. It was strange that he was forced to be so cruel, and he didn't resist. After all, there are no such confused people in this world. people.

Thinking like this, Lin Dahu complained a little, "You too, if you can get into a boy student, you won't let the third child be like this."

"What are you blaming Shige'er for? Shige'er is already smart enough." Huang Shi was not happy, even if she thought Shige'er was a candidate for a talent test, but as a mother, she just wasn't happy for someone to belittle her son. .

Lin Yishi was so angry that he was speechless. Today, more than two or three people said that he was incompetent, but these people said that he could not refute, otherwise he would be disobeying his elders.

He held his breath, "Father and mother, what should I do now?"

It doesn't matter if there is only one Langer in the family, the third uncle can only pin his hopes on him, but the second uncle has two sons. If the third uncle really goes to pay for his two cousins, then he will not have a good life in the future. .

Lin Dahu knew that the chances of Shige'er passing the exam were not high, and he wanted to continue the afternoon because he didn't want to stay in the village, let alone work in the fields.

He planned to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and said indifferently: "Anyway, your third uncle won't give you money, so you can only come back and be a scumbag."

Lin Yishi was annoyed, this is his biological father!

Huang's dream of becoming a scholar was replaced by her son's dream, and she said, "I will talk to your grandma tomorrow. Your third uncle listens to your grandma's words the most, so let them talk about it."

"Mother, then you must say it properly." Lin Yishi put his hope on his mother. When he came back this time, he didn't actually worry that the third uncle would not provide for him, but brought good news of making money...
