Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 12 Daddy fights for favor, 2nd brother climbs over the wall

"Dad, don't worry, we know."

Yun Songlin nodded, "It's up to you if you can succeed."

Then his gaze fell on Yun Yi and Yun Shuai. Seeing Yun Yi's sparkling eyes, the old man was stunned for a moment.

The child looked at me like that, did he know what I wanted to say?

Then he smiled and said, "I think it's time for Yi Ge'er and Shuai Ge'er to learn enlightenment. I will send them both to a private school to learn a few words someday."

Now, the only two children in the Yun family who are suitable for studying are these two.

Yun Qi and Yun Yan were both grown up, and Yun Huaishan's son Yun Zheng was also 16 years old. It was past the best time for him to study.

When Lin heard her father-in-law say that he would send the children of the second and fourth rooms to school, she pursed her lips, thinking that only their family did not have children of the right age.

Lost. She was sure that if the fourth son's family didn't have money to send their children to a private school, the old man would definitely ask the second son's family to make up for it. Studying is a big deal, and if there is no money, not only will your brothers give, but even relatives in the same clan will have to contribute.

After she gave birth to her eldest daughter, she gave birth to a son. She was very proud of herself, but who knew that her stomach remained calm for so many years.

It would be great if they could have another son. Now they will definitely have a chance to study in a private school, which is really a saving for the fourth room.

The old man didn't know what his eldest daughter-in-law was thinking, so he continued, "It would be great if she had a little talent for studying. If our family could also have a scholar, it would not only bring honor to the family, but also help the boys and girls in the family find good marriages."

When it comes to this, everyone is gnashing with hatred.

Isn't it? The reason why the Zhao family found an excuse to cancel the engagement was because they thought the Yun family was just a bunch of peasants and looked down on them, right?

Humph, the boy from their Yun family will also go to school and take the imperial examination. I still don't believe that Zhao Junyi can pass the examination, but the boy from their Yun family can't.

Originally, when Yun Yi saw that his grandfather no longer lectured his parents, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, but then he heard that it was about studying, he perked up again.

His grandfather was right. If their Yun family could also produce a scholar, his sister would not have been rejected by others and would not have suffered this injustice.

Suddenly, he looked at his two brothers with a look of disappointment.

Alas, I still have to rely on myself for this family.

I don't know how my parents plan their lives, and my two brothers are good at nothing except eating, and they are completely unreliable.

In the future he has to study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and become a support to his elder sister.

When I get my salary, even if my parents spend money lavishly, I should be able to save some money to buy some delicious food for my two brothers.

As he thought this, his eyes were full of determination.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will study hard."

In fact, he has been learning to read and write from his sister in the past two years. Not only him, but also his parents and two brothers have learned from them.

But his family members said that this matter should not be discussed casually with anyone else, so he didn't say much.

Sister said that she had learned a lot of characters from the Zhao family boys and then taught them to them.

My two older brothers learned a lot, but my parents were just so-so.

And himself...

I was still young before, and I will definitely learn faster than my two brothers in the future.

Seeing Yun Yi's high morale, the old man stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Children can be taught.

Maybe their Yun family will really have a scholar.

Seeing that things had almost been discussed, Yun Songlin asked his daughters-in-law to clean up the dishes and then waved his hand to let everyone go.

He also stood up and prepared to go back to the old house next door.

Xi hurriedly handed the two baskets she had prepared in advance to Lin and Li. The baskets were covered with a few leaves, so it was difficult to see what was inside.

"These are what the kids brought back from the city today. You can also take some back for the kids to try."

As she spoke, she took out another two taels of silver and stuffed them into Lin's pocket. "Sister-in-law, this silver is for my elder brother. He helped to divide the silver earlier, but didn't include his share. This should be made up to him."

When she heard that it was money, Lin's previous depression disappeared in an instant. She pretended to refuse it twice, and then happily accepted it.

He lifted the leaves on the basket and took a look, and was even more delighted.

There are all good things in it, including fine grains and meat.

After the other two families left, Xi slumped down in a chair with a tired look on her face.

Yun Xi hurried forward to rub her shoulders and back, "Mom, you've worked hard."

Xi suddenly felt that most of her fatigue had dissipated.

This girl is like a caring little cotton-padded jacket. Everything she says and does makes her feel so comfortable. It’s worth it no matter how hard or tiring it is.

Yun Huaiyuan was very jealous watching from the side, and he also pretended to have a sore back and waist, pinching and pounding himself, and making a sucking sound with his mouth, in order to attract his daughter's attention.

He glanced at his daughter out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw her looking at him, he pretended to concentrate on stretching his muscles.

Who knew that the next second, he heard his daughter say, "Second brother, go and give our dad a massage too."

Yun Yan readily agreed, "Okay, little sister, just wait and see. My cooking skills are definitely better than yours, and I will definitely be able to serve our father comfortably."

But he had only pressed it twice when Yun Huaiyuan screamed, scaring everyone.

"Go away, go away. Why are you so rough with your hands? It hurts me so much."

Yun Yan was stunned.

When did he lose his strength? Just now he clearly remembered that his strength was just like tickling.

But before he could argue, his father put on a smiling face and said to his younger sister, "Daughter, how about you help daddy to press it?"

At this time, Yun Yan had no idea what was going on. He was being disliked.

But he dared not speak out.

Yun Xi now understood that his father wanted him to massage his shoulders and back, and he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his dimples filled with a happy smile.

"Dad, please wait a moment. I'll give Mom a massage and then you can take over."

"Okay, Dad will wait for you." Yun Huaiyuan responded happily.

Xi glanced at him sideways and said two words softly, "Virtue."

Then he let go and patted Yun Xi's little hand on his shoulder, "Okay, go give your dad a massage."

Yun Xi responded obediently and went over.

Yun Huaiyuan laughed foolishly.

Yun Yan curled his lips, pulled over a chair and sat down, then crossed his legs and swayed on a bench, looking nonchalant.

Then he hooked his finger at his younger brother and said, "Xiaoyi, come here and give me a leg massage and a foot massage. I'm really tired today."

As he said this, he kicked his foot and the cloth shoes on his feet flew out and almost hit Xi.

Xi was so angry that she picked up his cloth shoes and wanted to hit him.

"I think you're really itching for trouble. If you don't get punished for three days, you'll be able to tear down the roof."

Yun Yan saw that the situation was not right, so he ran out without caring that he was still barefoot.

"Mom, I'm going to the mountain to collect firewood. You don't have to see me out."

Xi chased him out of the yard, threw the shoe in her hand at him and then stopped.

Seeing that his mother had stopped chasing him, Yun Yan also stopped and moved slowly and cautiously towards the place where the cloth shoes fell.

He quickly picked up the cloth shoes on the ground and was about to put them on, but Xi pretended to go forward and grab him again.

Yun Yan simply didn't even put on his shoes. He just ran with his shoes in his hand and ran out of the yard in a blink of an eye.

Xi shouted from behind, "You bastard, it's almost dark, why are you still picking up firewood?"

Soon Yun Yan climbed over the fence on one side of the yard and grinned, "Hehehe, Mom, then I won't go to collect firewood. I'll go tomorrow during the day."

Xi: “…”

Why don’t you go through the regular gate but have to climb over the wall?

His eyebrows were throbbing, and he felt the anger that had just subsided rise up again.
