Cui Xian felt upset.

He thought, more than ten days had passed, and there was still no news from Brother Fugui.

Otherwise, take the initiative to talk to your family about going to the county town to study.

If this continues, this family will be finished.

But before Cui Xian could speak.

He heard his grandmother say, "You must study. Boshan, Zhongyuan, you two should continue to study. Mother thought that Yu Ge'er is 9 years old this year. It will be too late if he doesn't start to learn. Let's send him to school as well."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

Cui Xian was also stunned.

It turned out that all Mrs. Cui had said and laid so much groundwork just now was for the purpose of getting Yu Ge'er to study.

Cui Yu quickly glanced at Cui Xian next to him and was about to refuse.

The eldest aunt Lin was the first to react and cried, "Mom, the family is already in this state, we really can't afford it anymore!"

Chen also said: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is true. Nowadays, there is no meat in our family's meals all year round. If we provide for another one, how can our family survive?"

Cui Zhongyuan opened his mouth to persuade him.

Cui Boshan stretched out his hand to press down his brother's shoulders, and rarely said a word to his old mother: "Mom, life has to go on. If you insist on letting Yu Ge'er start to learn, then I won't read--"

Old Mrs. Cui changed her previous sorrowful expression and interrupted her eldest son sternly: "No! You have to study, the second son has to study, and Yu Ge'er has to study too! I have to save one meal a day to support Yu Ge'er!"

Hearing these words made the whole family feel desperate.

The old steward of the Pei Mansion came to visit at this time.

"May I ask if this is the Cui family? I am the housekeeper of the Pei Mansion. I came here rashly because my boss asked me to ask Mr. Cui Xian from your house to be a book boy for my young master."

The old butler stood outside the door and explained his purpose in a sincere and polite voice.

To avoid misunderstanding.

The housekeeper also specifically explained: "Our boss's intention is that Brother Cui Xian is here to be a book boy in name, but in reality he is here to be a playmate for my young master."

Book boy?

After hearing this, the rest of the Cui family members were still confused.

Cui Yu was the first to panic.

The first thing he recalled was that his grandmother had asked him a few days ago if he wanted to study, and he asked what Xiang'er should do.

Grandmother remained silent.

Could it be that...

There was not enough money at home, so in order to let him go to school, his grandmother sold Xian'er and made him work as a servant for the young master of the Pei mansion in exchange for money?

Now the housekeeper of Pei Mansion comes to take Xian'er away!

The more Cui Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

He burst into tears and looked at his grandmother and cried loudly, "Grandma, you want to sell Xian'er? I don't agree! If you want to sell him, sell me and let my brother go to school!"

Cui Zhongyuan and Chen's faces changed drastically when they heard this, and they hurriedly protected their son behind them.

The old lady sold Xian'er?!

The rest of the Cui family members also looked horrified.
