And, most importantly, it is not their turn to speak in this family!

They only need to work like cattle and horses, and when the time comes, they will be given a bite of food.

They couldn't even touch the silver and money.

Finding people, redeeming people, etc. all require money.

Ling's father stammered for a long time before he said dryly, "Don't worry about these things. The family will take care of it!"

"Who will take care of it? Ling Lie, who will bring honor to our family in the future?"

Gu Qingcheng refused to give in.

If it was before today, Ling's father would have nodded without hesitation.

Because in his opinion, his eldest nephew is the god of literature who has descended to earth, and he will definitely pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in the future.

If you become the top scholar, you will be rich and powerful, and you can -

However, today, Ling's father's "faith" also collapsed.

He worked so hard on the fields and even sold his daughter, but instead of raising a scholar, he raised a gambler!

"...Well, isn't there Ling Wu? It was you who suggested Ling Wu study."

"Dad, you're right. There's also Ling Wu. But who can guarantee that Second Brother won't be the next Ling Lie?"

“…”

"Of course, my second brother is smarter and doesn't look like he'd learn bad things. But, I suddenly realized today that, except for us, everyone in the family seems to have forgotten about my sister!"

So what if you become rich?

In the original plot, Ling Lie took the imperial examinations and struggled all the way, bringing the entire Ling family to the capital.

But for nearly ten years, no one thought about Ling Si Ya who was sold early.

It was as if this person had never existed in the Ling family.

Until later...

The greatest tragedy in the world is the killing of one's own flesh and blood. They obviously miss each other, but they become mortal enemies because they "met without knowing each other".

The original owner suddenly woke up after Ling Lie's story ended because he killed his own sister with his own hands.

This Ling Lie said that he wanted to compensate those who were hurt by the original owner.

But he subconsciously forgot about Ling Si Ya.

Of course, this may be the author's fault. She forgot this minor character who only appeared in other people's mouths.

However, in the small world of this book, Ling Si Ya is not an NPC without even a name, she is a living person.

Even if the author did not write about her, she still exists and lives her life to the fullest.

She was also someone who was hurt by scumbags, but she did not receive any compensation from the executor.

And because of the executioner, he died at the hands of his own sister...

You really can't blame the original owner for turning evil. No one can stand this kind of misunderstanding and fratricide among close relatives.

The original owner had two wishes: to bring honor to his family and to protect his family.

Gu Qingcheng felt that these two wishes did not conflict with each other, and could even complement each other and be carried out at the same time.

Ling's father and mother looked at each other and found that they could not refute their daughter's words.

In this family, except for their second wife, everyone else seemed to have really forgotten that there was a Ling Si Ya who was sold.

After a long silence, Ling's father's voice was a little dry: "...It's up to you!"

It's not a division of the family, nor is it disobedience to the elders. The child just wants to follow him to work in the fields.

Ling's father couldn't find any reason to object.

Ling's father agreed, and Ling's mother, who regarded her husband as her god, naturally would not object.

She just looked at her daughter's dark and thin appearance, and sighed with some pity: Alas, this child has suffered!

…

The next day, Aunt Ling actively urged again and again.

Old Mrs. Ling gave her a sidelong glance, but didn't curse.

After a bland breakfast, Old Man Ling took his two grandsons out.

First, let Ling Lie drop out of the county academy;

Second, send the two grandsons to the home of a scholar in the same village!

The eldest wife and her husband had dark faces. They were very dissatisfied with the family's decision.

However, Old Man Ling is the head of the family. No matter how "noble" the eldest wife is, they have to listen to Old Man Ling's arrangements.

Not only did they not dare to resist, they didn't even dare to get angry. They could only hide at home in anger.

The couple in the third room were extremely excited. They were so happy that they no longer slacked off like before, but worked actively.

The second room was the calmest.

They already had a low sense of presence, and today they were even more silent.

Old Mrs. Ling's eyes swept over her sons and daughters-in-law. She was full of anger and habitually vented it towards the second wife.

In particular, Old Lady Ling discovered that the fifth girl did not do housework. Instead, after finishing her meal, she pushed the bowl away and stood up.

OK!

You are such a money-losing guy. You seemed sensible yesterday, but today you showed your true colors?

A little girl doesn't even clean up the dishes. What's the point of that?

I just sold you once, do you really think your family owes you something?

However, before Old Lady Ling could start to speak frantically, Gu Qingcheng spoke first: "Grandma, I'm going to the fields with my dad."

Old Lady Ling and the entire Ling family were a little surprised: "Going underground?"

A girl?

Even if the Ling family favors boys over girls, they would never let a girl of ten years old go to the fields.

It's not the busy farming season, and it's not like the family is extinct... The daughter-in-law can go to the fields, but if an unmarried granddaughter goes to the fields, isn't this deliberately inviting criticism?

"Yes! I want to learn farming from Dad, work hard, and redeem my sister!"

Gu Qingcheng said this sentence that will be repeated over and over again in the future...
