"Big...Big brother, you can't say that...My sister-in-law is also my daughter, so why can't my parents follow them?"
Liu Meiyu was a little scared when she saw her uncle smash the bowl.
Seeing her husband winking at her, she plucked up the courage to speak.
"You...how can mom and dad go to your sister's house when we brothers are here?"
Mr. Wu was so angry that his hands were shaking.
However, Liu Meiyu was very confident: "Although he was exiled, I heard that the county magistrate wanted to reward the person who led the water out with 100 taels of silver.
My aunt's family has such a large sum of money, it is more than enough to support my parents."
Hearing this, the third brother and his wife raised their eyebrows.
When the two looked at each other, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.
Yes, I heard that my brother-in-law’s ancestors contributed a method of diverting water to the county magistrate, and Qianniu Village did divert water.
Doesn’t my aunt’s family have one hundred taels of silver?
Wu Laosan's expression was unpredictable. Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a loud shout:
"The property of those who are exiled will be confiscated. How could my family have any extra money?
Don’t think it’s so simple, my second brother and his wife.
Besides, the road to exile is extremely difficult.
My parents are old, and my mother has injured her waist. They had an accident on the road, and even the doctor couldn't be found. How could they bear such hardship? "
Boss Wu stared at Liu Meiyu with a bad look.
Seeing that the third brother and his wife had not spoken yet, he asked them:
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Wu Laosan had been thinking about it for a long time.
It's true that Ling Ge is the one his parents love the most.
But not only can my mother not help earn money for the family now, she will also have to spend money in the future.
Dad is old now. If he gets hurt like mom did, the family will have to spend some money.
Brother Ling has recently been praised by several city students, who say he has a bright mind and is better at studying than them.
He also recommended some books for him to buy, saying that they would be helpful for the scientific examination.
Thinking of this, Wu Lao San couldn't help but stroke his forehead and said with a guilty conscience:
"Brother, this... Mom and Dad are worried about me... We're afraid we won't be able to see me again.
It would be better to let them go with my younger sister first...
Wait until… wait until my younger sister and the others are settled and Mom and Dad are relieved, then we’ll bring them back!”
Boss Wu widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe that these words came from the mouth of his third brother, whom his parents loved the most.
He pointed at Wu Lao San and cursed, "Lao San...you...are you talking like a human being?"
Wu Laosan lowered his head and said nothing.
Boss Wu continued to curse, "What kind of life is happening in my little sister's family? Others don't know, but don't you know?"
Wu Laosan's mouth twitched, but he finally did not contradict his eldest brother.
Of course he knows.
Ever since my brother-in-law injured his leg, life at my sister's house has been getting worse and worse.
When his parents sent gifts to his sister, he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. That was good enough.
A few days ago, I heard that my niece hit her head, and I don’t know if the baby is still alive.
But that’s the situation of the Wu family.
Brother Ling also needs to study, and the money for pens, ink, paper and inkstone alone costs more than one or two taels of silver every month.
He also wanted to help his sister, but he had no choice!
If he still has to take care of his mother, how can Brother Ling continue to study?
After much deliberation, Wu Laosan made a difficult choice.
He believed that when his brother Ling passed the imperial examination, his elder brother would understand him.
His parents will also understand him.
Things will get better for my sister's family...
Brother Ling is a man of great ambition. If he succeeds in passing the imperial examination, there might be hope for my sister's family to return.
Wu Laosan is full of confidence in his son!
When he raised his eyelids and looked at his elder brother, he couldn't help but frown.
My brother really doesn't understand his good intentions.
Now, I have to change the wording:
"Brother, let's send some food to my younger sister's house tomorrow. We'll provide food for our parents, and then we can harvest the wheat for my younger sister's family.
Dad has always been in good health, and the doctor said Mom will recover.
Go see the outside world, don't have to work every day, maybe your health will be better!"
Boss Wu's expression eased a little.
Wu Laosan continued:
"When our brother Ling becomes an official in the future, we can bring our parents back home.
Big brother, don't be angry. I will go pick up my parents myself and let them enjoy their old age."
After hearing Wu Laosan's series of persuasions, Liu Meiyu sneered.
The third brother really didn't let her down!
Liu Meiyu hates her third brother's family, but the Wu family still refers to the third branch.
The second branch of the family has no sons, and the two nephews from the eldest brother's family are only interested in farming.
I don’t know how Brother Ling from the third family suddenly became smart.
A few years ago, I actually recited the poem "In the morning light and moon, the dew is not evenly distributed. The green wheat fields meet the forests. When will the endless frost and snow end? The splendid countryside is in the mountain village" facing the wheat fields.
In this regard, Old Man Wu firmly believed that smoke was coming out of the Wu family's ancestral tomb.
He immediately sent the poem to the town for a scholar to appreciate.
Got a positive answer.
Old man Wu, who usually keeps quiet about everything, resolutely supports his grandson's studies.
He even urged the two families to support it.
Liu Meiyu looked up and glanced at the "masterpiece" hanging on the earthen wall, which she could recite by heart, then looked at her two daughters, her teeth clenched with anger.
Who made her unable to give birth to a son?
Who made her not have a son who could write poetry?
Her parents-in-law usually favored her third brother's family, but she endured it.
Occasionally, when she got angry, she would argue with her third brother's wife about how Brother Ling was treated, but she was just pretending.
