Huang Ying leaned on her husband's not-so-broad shoulders, and felt relieved for the first time in a long time. She pursed her lips and smiled:

"As long as my whole family is well, no matter how much suffering I endure, it is worth it."

"What year is it now?" Ye Ping asked.

Huang Ying said: "Sixty-five years."

"Sixty-five..." Ye Ping lowered his head and calculated silently, "Is this Qingyun's third Tongsheng Examination?"

"yes."

Ye Ping raised the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly: "The third time... Didn't Dad assert that Qingyun was a rare genius like me? How come he failed the exam three times in a row?"

"I just happened to be feeling unwell and had a stomachache."

Ye Ping said: "It's just a coincidence again. When will suffering let our Ye family go..."

......

The next day, Ye Youze, who was supposed to be out helping out with the pressure, suddenly returned home.

Huang Ying was so shocked that she asked hurriedly if she was kicked out by the contractor.

Ye Youze took out the cloth bag and said, "No, the foreman and I asked for leave."

Ye Zhang asked anxiously, "Why did you suddenly ask for leave?"

"Look." Ye Youze untied the cloth bag, revealing twenty-five strings of copper coins inside.

A full two thousand five hundred copper coins.

"My younger brother said that the money he made recently has doubled, and asked me to take the money and go home to rest for half a month."

Ye Youze explained: "My younger brother was afraid that I would be distracted while working and something might happen, so he asked me to take a leave so that he could concentrate on the exam."

This is true, after all, it is the third time.

Ye Youze was afraid that something bad would happen to him if he wasn't careful, just like his younger brother said.

I'm also afraid that if I don't ask for leave, my younger brother will be uneasy during the exam, and I will be to blame then.

The contractor was very easy to talk to. Considering that Ye Youze had worked under him for so many years and had never been lazy, and that he had asked for leave so that his younger brother could concentrate on studying for the exam, he agreed.

One is because of personal considerations, and the other is because of the college entrance examination.

If the younger brother really passes the exam, it will always be beneficial for the contractor to make friends with Ye Youze.
