The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 386 Help (Part 1)

Mrs. Liu Zhao also gave her son a look. Liu Lun stood aside with his neck shrunk, but the Liu family has always been democratic, so although he shrunk his neck, he still looked at his grandfather with wide eyes.

Liu Daqian sighed regretfully, "Alang is the one who knows how to read the most in our family. In the past, Aling taught him to read. After he went to learn, he would squat in the yard and practice calligraphy stroke by stroke with branches. At night, he used the moonlight to make gestures in the yard by himself. In the past, our family had no ability to send him to school. At that time, the Mu family couldn't even get together the Shuxiu of Bowen, let alone an opportunity like yours. Yes. Children, you should cherish your blessings."

"Brother, send people to the academy. If anyone doesn't study hard, they will be caught and beat upside down." Liu Erqian glared at his grandson and grandnephew fiercely and said, "Do you know how much we have to pay you every year? One year is five taels of silver, plus pen, ink, paper and inkstone, one person is ten taels a year, three people is thirty taels, and you can’t even earn half of the silver if you sell it.”

Liu Daqian glared at his younger brother, then turned his head and said to the three children standing in front of him: "Your second grandpa's words are rough and reasonable, if the money is paid by our family, it will be spent if it is spent. You are reborn in our family, it is good No matter what, it’s all from our Liu family. If you spend the money on you, it’s considered a bad debt if it’s not worth it, but this money is given to you by your cousin, thirty taels a year, based on what I know about your cousin , in order not to let you lose face in the academy, I'm afraid I will buy you fabrics to make some new clothes. After three or four years, even one hundred and fifty taels will not be able to stop you. I know how many things one hundred and fifty taels can do. ?"

Liu Daqian met the eyes of several children and said: "If you can build two good houses, you can also buy two cows and six pigs, and then eat meat every other day, which can last for half a year."

Several children opened their mouths wide, and even the oldest Liu Rong's eyes widened, stunned. Liu Daqian's calculations were the most intuitive.

The adults often talked about the badness of the earthen house at home. It always leaked rain and wind. They were afraid that they would not be able to live in it for many years. Then they worried about building the house, saying that they had worked hard for ten years and wondered if they could build a house...

There are also cows. No one in the village has a cow. If anyone has a cow, it is a middle peasant, and their life is much better than theirs.

Pigs, their family has them, but when they catch a little piglet, the grandmas will lose sleep once, because the family either needs a few bags of grain or spends all their money.

Meat, if it wasn't for my cousin who sent some meat to their family every now and then, they would eat it once every six months just like other families...

Liu Rong and Liu Yun looked at the brothers with envy and sympathy in their eyes.

The three boys standing in the middle suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Liu Lun wanted to express that he didn't want to study anymore.

Liu Daqian seemed to know what his grandson was thinking, pulled him over and patted his head, and asked, "Ah Lun, what do you think of your father and uncle's life?"

Liu Lun's eyes were full of confusion, and he said: "Father and uncle are very good, much better than Tang Shu and the others. They are always envious of father and uncle."

"That's because your father and uncle are supported by your cousin. If not, they can only be the same as your cousin, and they can't even compare with your cousin." Seeing the dissatisfaction of the children, Liu Daqian said Putting on a stance, he said: "Don't look at our family's life is better than other families. In terms of foundation, our family is not the weakest, but it is also ranked at the bottom."

The children didn't believe it, Liu Rong whispered: "Grandpa, we have new clothes to wear, and we can eat several meals of meat every month."

Liu Erqian asked with a smile, "Rong'er, where did you get the new clothes and meat?"

After Liu Rong paused, Liu Jin, the youngest sitting on the kang, raised her hand and said, "I know, I know, my cousin gave it to me, last time my cousin gave me a wooden horse."

Liu Erqian hugged the three-year-old Liu Jin in his arms, and said, "You don't know what your brother knows? It was all given by your cousin, not our family."

Liu Daqian continued: "Look, the people in the village and grandpa's house have built a new house, and the fourth grandpa's house is also planning to build a house. Our family has lost so much expenses, and with your cousin's help, why can't we build a new house?" house?"

Liu Lun was thoughtful, "Is it because our family has no foundation?"

Liu Daqian nodded and sighed, "It's because our family has no foundation."

Liu Yun was very unconvinced, "Why does our family have no foundation?"

"Because our ancestors were poor, your grandfather and second grandfather are not capable, and your father and uncles are not very promising either."

"Father," Liu Ting called out in embarrassment, and Liu Daqian glared at him, "Aren't I telling the truth?"

"Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother went early, and I was younger than Allen at that time," the children stared wide-eyed. Although there was noise at home, the adults also told them how hard they had been in the past, but the past They really didn't know about the matter, and the adults also deliberately avoided a few children.

When the children heard that the grandpa was going to talk about ancient times, they all became very interested.

Liu Daqian lived up to their entrustment and said: "Your second grandfather is only a little older than Ah Yang, and there are your second aunt and third aunt below, and your third aunt was only two years old at that time. Your eldest aunt raised us, at that time, your eldest aunt was one year younger than Rong'er, think about how hard she worked to bring us up."

The children looked at Liu Rong's little arms and legs, and thought that there were no parents and elders in the family, and they could only rely on such a young sister, and they all shuddered.

"At that time, we had nothing to eat. We even ate mud when we were hungry. The Liu family only had two acres of dry land. Your eldest aunt insisted on keeping it. When your second grandfather and I grew up, she married your grandma for us. And Second Mistress, married off your two great aunts again. After several marriages, not only did you spend all the two bags of food you saved, but you also owed a large debt. Your eldest aunt even delayed the marriage because of us. , can’t let her bear these debts, do you know when our family’s debts will be paid off?”

Several children shook their heads.

Liu Daqian sighed: "Your elder brother only paid it off when he was six years old."

The children were speechless, "Isn't this too long?"

Liu Erqian stared and said, "How long? It's not bad if you can pay it off. Your father and the others don't need to spend money to marry a wife? Your mother doesn't need to spend money to give birth to you? And raise you brats, you think children Can you support yourself after birth? Ask your mother, how many children die in the village every year, what you ate and drank when you were young, and the money spent on illness, didn’t your grandpa and I have to go out of our way to borrow it? Can you pay it off? Even if it’s not bad.”
