The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it only gets a little cooler when it rains occasionally. Normally, Yue Jiuyue wishes she could bring out a refrigerator and hide inside to cool off. She has no mood to study, since she doesn't need to take the college entrance exam here.
If women here could also participate in the imperial examinations, she might overcome all difficulties and work hard. After all, there are far fewer scholars here than in their time, which means that scholars have more opportunities. If she passed the exams, Yue Jiuyue would be willing to be a county magistrate for life.
Unfortunately, that's impossible, so she doesn't have much enthusiasm for studying. She learns as much as she can without forcing herself.
This summer wasn't particularly difficult for Yue Jiuyue. After all, she had an online store. If there were mosquitoes, she would buy mosquito coils. When it got hot, she would secretly eat ice cubes, ice cream, and popsicles. Occasionally, she would also buy a few cups of juice with ice or ice bowls. At night, she could use a rechargeable fan. She didn't have to worry about being too hot to sleep. She was living a very comfortable life.
However, when she received a letter from Lin Chaodong, who was in the state capital, her blissful life suddenly felt a little less exciting.
"Mother! Mother! What did my eldest brother write in his letter?"
Lin Chaobei was so excited that he wanted to snatch the letter and read it himself.
Because Yue Jiuyue wasn't very familiar with traditional Chinese characters, she had to convert them to simplified characters to understand their meaning, so she read slowly. It's no wonder Lin Chaobei was getting impatient. Lin Chaodong's letter wasn't written in classical Chinese; it was just plain language. How could he know that Yue Jiuyue needed to convert it again to understand it?
"Well, see for yourself."
Yue Jiuyue slapped the letter into Lin Chaobei's hand, then went back to her room, closed the door, lay down on the bed, bought a bottle of ice-cold mineral water from the mall, and gulped down half of it.
"Has my brother gone mad?! He doesn't even want to come back! He actually wants to ask Mom for money to buy a house in the city!"
In the main room, Lin Chaobei slammed the letter on the table in anger. If Lin Chaodong were in front of him, he would have beaten him to a pulp.
Yes, my sister-in-law and nephew need medical treatment, which they understand. Everyone is anxious because the illness hasn't been cured.
But there are no doctors in the city who can cure their illnesses. They say they should stay in the city to earn money to go to the capital. But how long can they work in the city to earn the money they asked their mother for to buy a house?
Who do you think is stupid?!
It's just that seeing the prosperity of the capital city makes them reluctant to come back. They don't want to be peasants anymore, and they don't want to farm anymore!
"He's so shameless! If he wanted to stay in the capital, he should have stayed. How could he have the nerve to write this letter? And he even asked Mother for money! Mother's money doesn't grow on trees. Doesn't he have any idea how much she's already given them?"
The eldest brother he once respected the most has become unrecognizable after experiencing the sights of big cities.
"Third brother, what happened to eldest brother?"
After cursing a few times, Lin Chaobei finally couldn't hold back his tears. He looked at Lin Chaonan with a wronged expression, feeling extremely sad.
"Who knows?"
Lin Chaonan didn't know how to answer Lin Chaobei's question.
He remembered that Lin Chaodong once said that there were some things that people like them who were not yet married did not understand.
So, this must be one of the things Lin Chaodong said he didn't understand.
