Chapter 1136 I Am the Spokesperson for Three Views (XIX)
When Gu Qingcheng said this, Old Lady Ling was stunned.
The third daughter-in-law of the Ling family, who was originally watching the show, suddenly widened her eyes.
Second brother?
Ling Wuya’s second brother is her beloved son Ling Wu.
Ling Wu is the second grandson of the Ling family and is also ten years old this year.
In Aunt Ling's opinion, her own son is naturally the best.
Unfortunately, the Ling family was poor and could only afford to send one boy to school.
Ling Lie is the eldest grandson and has the advantage.
Moreover, Ling Lie is not too stupid and he is quite good at studying.
Old man Ling went to ask the teacher specifically, and the teacher said that Ling Lie was a promising student and as long as he worked hard, he would achieve something in the future.
Old Man Ling was sure that his grandson could read it, so he put all his money on his eldest grandson.
The second grandson is also very smart, but the family has no money!
Old Man Ling and Old Lady Ling felt it was a pity, but there was nothing they could do.
Aunt Ling was unwilling to give in.
Why? They are all grandchildren of the Ling family. The eldest can go to school, but theirs can only farm in the countryside? Obviously, her son is also smart.
Ling Lie was reciting a lesson at home, and her son Ling Wu learned it after eavesdropping a few times.
What a clever child! If he could go to the academy, he would definitely be better than the one from the old house! It's a pity that the two old men are so partial. They only know how to praise the eldest grandson, but ignore the second grandson.
However, the ones who make the decisions in the Ling family are Old Man Ling and Old Lady Ling.
Aunt Ling is also smart and she has never thought about dividing the family.
Not to mention the lack of care after the separation, the labor service alone can be fatal.
If the family does not split up, the Ling family only needs one person.
After the family is divided, each small family will have to send someone out.
There are only two men in their third room, and their son is still young, so the husband must go.
Serving forced labor or something like that could result in suffering at the very least, or even death at the worst.
If they lost their husband, what would they do as an orphan and a widow? In addition, Aunt Ling San had another little idea - if the family didn't split up, maybe the whole family could support her son's education in the future!
Why can the eldest son spend all the money of the Ling family? For him, they even sell the second wife's daughter? Her son is also the grandson of the Ling family. What Ling Lie has, her Ling Wu should also have! For many reasons, Aunt Ling refused to make a fuss about the division of the family.
The second wife’s daughter is going to be sold again today, and Third Aunt Ling is even in the mood to watch the show.
However, when this matter became related to her own interests, Aunt Ling immediately lost the desire to be a spectator.
She rushed to the front in a flash.
"Fifth girl, what did you say?"
Aunt Ling stared at Gu Qingcheng, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.
Gu Qingcheng was very satisfied when she saw Aunt Ling's reaction.
Through the original owner's memory, Gu Qingcheng knew that this third aunt was a shrewd person.
As long as she is given the slightest chance, she will never let it go.
"Aunt San, I said that the extra three taels from selling me should be used to send my second brother to school!"
"There are two male heirs in our Ling family this generation. The eldest brother is very smart, and the second brother is not bad either!"
"We really didn't have money before, so we had to let my eldest brother go to school alone."
"Now, my eldest brother has almost finished his studies and will soon be able to take part in the college entrance examination. He will definitely pass the examination and may even pass the examination and become a scholar."
If you pass the exam, you can receive a certain amount of money and rice every month, which can greatly relieve the pressure on your family.
Gu Qingcheng's words not only praised Ling Lie, but also made it possible for Ling Wu to study.
Aunt Ling's eyes lit up instantly.
She slapped her thigh vigorously, not caring about her jealousy towards the eldest wife, and followed Gu Qingcheng's words, praising her lavishly:
"Yes! Yes, yes!"
"Oh my, Wu Ya is so right!"
"Our brother Lie has studied for seven or eight years, so he must have learned it. He also spent money to participate in the poetry competition, so he will definitely pass the exam this year."
"If you win the Rinsheng, you can get food from the government. If you can't finish it, you can sell it. You don't have to spend so much money at home!"
"Now that our family has money, my son Wu can go to school!"
"Both of my grandsons went to school, one failed, but there's still one!"
With double insurance, the Ling family will have a better chance of changing their fortunes.
Aunt Ling became more and more excited as she spoke.
In the past, no one helped the third branch of their family. If they made a noise, they would inevitably be scolded as a troublemaker and an unfilial daughter-in-law.
But now, the fifth girl has said it, and has made it clear that she will use the money from selling her to send Wu Ge'er to school.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If Third Aunt Ling can't even seize this God-given opportunity, then she is just as stupid and useless as Second Aunt! Old Lady Ling's face became even stiffer.
She never expected that the fifth girl would say such a thing.
This child, I was just praising her for being sensible, why did she suddenly start to make trouble?
The third brother's family had long blamed the old couple for being partial and had been trying openly or secretly to send Wu Ge'er to school.
Before, the third brother's family didn't dare to really make trouble because of the pressure from the old couple of the Ling family and the constraints of rules and filial piety.
The fifth girl was so good that she actually brought it up directly.
After she said this, the third brother's family could no longer make a fuss.
Old Mrs. Ling is a shrew herself, so she naturally knows how shrews think.
She could even predict what Third Aunt Ling would shout.
"Why can't my brother Wu go to school?"
"I didn't have money before, but now I have money!"
"Also, isn't it always said that Lie is a good student and will definitely pass the exam? Now that he is almost done, can't my Wu take over?"
"Or are you saying that Dad and Mom are not what you keep saying? They are all doing this for the Ling family. You are simply biased towards the eldest wife!"
"Separate the family! We must separate the family!"
In the end, if the old couple don't give in, the third brother's family will definitely turn the Ling family upside down and make everyone in the family uneasy.
She is different from the second sister's family. The second sister's family is like a hen that doesn't lay eggs. She kneels down on her own without even being scolded by her mother-in-law.
The third brother's family has a son, so they are confident! If it really comes to that, even if they don't split up the family in the end, the family members will be torn apart.
But, Old Lady Ling still couldn't scold Wu Ya.
Why scold her? She was sensible and willing to be sold, and the money she was allocated did not favor the second wife.
To Wu Ya, Ling Lie is her brother, and so is Ling Wu.
No matter which of Ling Lie and Ling Wu becomes successful, they will both be the pillars of the Ling family and will be able to be relied upon by their cousins in the future!
"Well, for the third brother, studying is not that simple."
"Three taels of silver is not enough!"
Reading is not just about tuition, it also requires writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the big expense of buying books.
Old Mrs. Ling also personally supported a scholar, so she knew how expensive education is.
Gu Qingcheng, however, thoughtfully thought of a solution: "Three taels of silver is indeed not enough, but we can let my second brother study in the private school in the village first."
"If he has better talent, we can find a way to send him to college."
Gu Qingcheng was like an epic brother-supporting demon. "I was sold to a rich family as a maid. I should get a monthly salary."
"I will save all the money and ask someone to send it back home. My two brothers need to go to school..."
Third Aunt Ling was so touched that the way she looked at Gu Qingcheng was more affectionate than that she would her own daughter.
