Chapter 2281 I Can Farm
Shu Yu spoke in a low voice, and at this moment, both inside and outside the house were quiet. Not only did the man hear it, but everyone else standing not far from the door also heard it clearly.
Those who were already quite illiterate breathed a sigh of relief; it was definitely the right decision to give it a try.
The man's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Then, do you think I'm okay? I'm very strong."
Shu Yu, "What do you usually do at home? What are you good at?"
"I know how to farm. I take care of all ten acres of land in my family by myself, and the harvest is always very good."
Upon hearing this, someone outside the door chuckled softly, and the man's face flushed red again. He suddenly realized that this was an academy, and even if he knew how to farm, there was no use for it.
Shu Yu, however, began to think about her increasingly large sunflower field. She knew how to farm; that was a good skill.
She looked at the man in front of her and asked, "Since you have ten acres of land with a good harvest, you must not have to worry about food and drink. Why are you thinking of coming here to find work?"
The man said in a low voice, "My wife said that I'm not very bright, so she wants me to come to the academy to do more work, to interact more with scholars, and to broaden my horizons. Maybe if I hear and see more, I'll become more knowledgeable."
Shu Yu, “…” Your wife is really straightforward.
"But if you come to work at the academy, what will happen to the ten acres of land at home? Who will take care of it?"
“I have an older brother and a younger brother, they can do it.”
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. "Didn't you say you farmed all ten acres of land by yourself? What about your brother?"
The man pursed his lips, stammering, "They're not in good health and often get sick. My parents are afraid something might happen to them, so... they take extra care of them."
Hearing this, Shu Yu still had something she didn't understand.
With an older brother above him and a youngest child below him, he was the least favored by his parents, so he became the family's workhorse.
"What, my brother's sick? That's just an excuse to shirk responsibility."
So what? If he really works at the academy in the future, his brother's illness will be cured.
Shu Yu looked at the man in front of her. Well, he was simple-minded, but not completely stupid. The way he spoke hesitantly suggested that he was aware of his parents' favoritism and his brothers' exploitation. However, even if he was aware of this, he still diligently tended the ten acres of land, indicating that he couldn't think of a way to escape this predicament. He certainly didn't seem very bright.
His wife, however, was interesting; she was also clever and always seized any opportunity he had.
They say he's not very bright and came to the academy to be educated, but if he's lucky enough to be accepted, he can give his parents an explanation and get rid of those bloodsucking leeches at home. At least he's taken the first step.
The good thing about this man is that he knows right from wrong and listens to his wife.
Shu Yu seemed lost in thought, while the man grew increasingly uneasy.
Just as he was about to say something to salvage the situation, he heard Shu Yu ask, "Go over there first and register your name, address, and basic information with my maid. If there's nothing else, wait in the room next door or wander around the academy. I'll tell you the results this afternoon. If there is something, you can go back first."
"I can wait..." His wife instructed him to speak honestly and act honestly, and to try his best to stay if possible, so as not to miss the opportunity.
Shu Yu nodded, and Ying Xi nodded in agreement. The man then went to the side to register.
Shu Yu then called for the next person.
