Chapter 1139 I Am the Spokesperson for Three Views (Twenty-Two)
Was this successful? Not only did it destroy Ling Lie's most suitable whitewashing plan, but it also accused Ling Lie of a crime - selling out his cousin for gambling.
This will be a stain that Ling Lie will never be able to wash away in his lifetime.
It is also a sin that he must atone for his entire life.
Unless, he can find Ling Si Ya back.
Or find a witness to prove that he asked for the money at the end of last year not for gambling, but to give it as a New Year gift to his husband.
The executor in the small dark room discovered that "Ling Lie", who was originally in an advantageous position, was turned into a disadvantage by just a few words from His Majesty.
sharp!
The key point is that Your Majesty did not use any skills added by the system.
She relies purely on her control over people's hearts.
When Huoshui saw the executor's dumbfounded look, he instantly became proud.
It came up to the executor with its head shaking, and said with a grin, "Tsk, what's that? I bet, that so-and-so, my Majesty will do something even more outrageous next!"
Huoshui's words seemed to still be floating in the air, and there was indeed new movement from Gu Qingcheng's side.
"Brother! Ling Lie! Is what Third Aunt said true?"
"You persuaded grandpa and grandma to sell my sister, not for your study, but because you went to gamble?"
Gu Qingcheng suddenly exploded.
Her eyes were red and she stared at Ling Lie like a madman.
She looked horrible.
As she continued to accuse, her emotions reached a threshold.
Gu Qingcheng roared like a wild animal, "Sister! You are so wronged! You are so wronged!"
"Why! Ling Lie, why are you doing this?"
"Your family has done everything they can to support your education. Your grandparents, uncles, and other elders have not spared themselves from food and clothing, and have squeezed money out of their teeth and fingers, all so that you can one day succeed and bring honor to the family!"
"But what about you? You actually went to gamble! Gambling! The most useless rogues and hooligans in the village all know that they should not touch that thing, but you, a scholar, actually-"
"Woo woo, how ridiculous that my parents still think that it's all for the Ling family. Even if they have to sell their own flesh and blood, it's for the good of the Ling family!"
"They sold one daughter, and then another, but they didn't give up a scholar, but instead gave up a gambler!"
"What's even more ridiculous is me. I was thinking just now that as long as my brothers can study well, I would be willing to sell myself."
"Because I know that our family is in financial difficulty now, and this is the only way. When my brothers finish school and our family becomes well-off, they will be able to redeem me and my sister!"
Gu Qingcheng vented wantonly.
She looked both pitiful and scary.
According to later generations, the current "Ling Wuya" has lost her faith and started to doubt and deny everything, and then collapsed and went crazy.
In the eyes of people around him, he was a filial and sensible child who thought he was sacrificing for his family, but he did not expect to be abused and let down.
Even Ling's father and mother, two honest people who had been PUA-ed to the point of losing themselves, were somewhat stimulated at this moment——
Yes, our second wife sold her daughter and worked like a slave. What was the purpose? Just to support a gambling prodigal? Such a gambler would have to find ways to get money for gambling, so that he could give back to the family and take care of his uncles and aunts in the future? Old Man Ling and Old Lady Ling were shocked by the fact that their eldest grandson was gambling, and they didn't care about "controlling the situation" at all.
Or, they themselves are also feeling a sense of despair and confusion at this moment due to the "collapse of faith".
It was Third Aunt Ling who saw that Gu Qingcheng was not in a good mood and was afraid that it would affect her son's studies in the future, so she quickly stepped forward to express her opinion: "Wu Ya, don't cry! Don't worry, you have two brothers."
"Lie'er is a bad student, but Wu'er is a good kid."
"He doesn't cherish the opportunity to study, but we, Brother Wu, will definitely cherish it."
As Aunt Ling was talking, she felt that this was a good opportunity.
The family supported Ling Lie for four or five years, but ended up turning him into a gambler.
Ling Lie has failed to live up to his family's expectations and respect, so he doesn't deserve to continue studying.
But the Ling family already wants to change their status through education, so doesn’t that mean that this is the opportunity for our brother Wu?
In the past, Aunt Ling San only dared to give her son an opportunity to go to school.
It is the second choice of the Ling family.
But now, Ling Lie is asking for trouble, and Aunt Ling San feels that her son can completely replace Ling Lie.
"Dad! Mom! You can see it yourself. It's not us who are fooling around. It's Ling Lie who is not doing his best!"
"He squandered the family's money and failed to live up to their expectations. The family can no longer indulge him."
"Haha, to put it bluntly, maybe Brother Lie just likes gambling and doesn't like studying."
"It doesn't matter. He doesn't care. Our Brother Wu cares about it!"
"Dad! Mom! Let us, Brother Wu, go to the academy from now on."
Why go to a private school?
Why? They were all grandchildren of the Ling family, but Ling Lie, who loved gambling, went to the county academy, while Wu Geer, who loved reading and was smart, could only follow the old scholar in the village? Aunt Ling held on to Ling Lie tightly and refused to give in.
Old Man Ling and Old Man Ling finally reacted. They were disturbed to find that their eldest grandson had caused public outrage.
The third room is fine, but she is always jumping around and never at peace.
But even the most honest and obedient second wife is now——
"That's enough! Stop arguing!"
Old Man Ling winked at Old Lady Ling. Old Lady Ling understood instantly, and she put on a shrewish face, shouting and waving her hands, driving out all the human traffickers and onlookers.
Don’t air your dirty laundry in public!
Even if there is a big event at home, we have to discuss it behind closed doors.
In Lingjia Village, Mrs. Ling's reputation for being a fierce fighter is much more famous than Ling Lie's nickname of "Top Scholar".
As soon as she started to move, she could make everyone retreat without even making a scene.
Why mess with her? She is just a shameless old bitch.
If you provoke her, she will sit at your doorstep and greet your ancestors for eighteen generations and all your relatives.
The curses he uttered were never the same over three days and three nights.
She threw a tantrum and cried and screamed...even the shrews in the village couldn't stand it.
After all, shrews also have levels, and Old Lady Ling is the top one! Soon, the yard was cleared out, leaving only the Ling family.
During this time, Old Man Ling and Old Lady Ling also sorted out all the matters.
“Kneel down!”
When they arrived at the main hall, Old Man Ling was sitting in the main seat with a majestic look. He did not mention anyone's name, but just uttered these two words in a loud voice.
Ling Lie was smart and although he felt it was "unlucky", he still knelt in front of everyone without saying a word.
"Brother Lie, do you know you are wrong?"
Although Old Man Ling was disappointed, he still had the eldest grandson whom he had doted on for many years and whom he had placed his hopes on for many years.
Until the last moment, biased elders will never think that there is anything wrong with their children.
Made a mistake? Can't you just correct it?
Even if they don't change, as long as you say nice things to them, they will forgive them.
Of course, Ling Lie is not the original owner, so he naturally wouldn't do such a thing as pretending to obey but actually disobeying.
Although he regretted his "bad start", he did not blame others.
For example, Aunt Ling San who was always shouting and making noise.
There is no way, it is all the original owner's fault? Gambling?
Not good at studying?
This is what the original owner did, it's true.
What the executor has to do is to clear the name, not confuse right and wrong.
If you are wrong, you must admit it!
Stand at attention when you are beaten! Ling Lie kowtowed heavily and said with great shame: "Grandpa, I was wrong!"
Although he admitted his mistake, Ling Lie still did not forget his mission.
He emphasized again: "I shouldn't gamble! Not even for the sake of making money!"
"Gambling is not a righteous way to go. If you get involved, your family will be ruined!"
"I am the eldest grandson of the Ling family, carrying the hopes of the whole family. What I have to do is study hard, take the imperial examination, and become a high-ranking official!"
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom..."
Admit the mistake, make a few excuses, then express your stance and make up your mind.
Ling Lie knelt upright on the ground, his eyes scanning each member of the Ling family.
He was extremely sincere, "I was wrong. I won't get addicted to gambling just because I won money the first time."
"I will never gamble again. I will study hard!"
Seeing Ling Lie's attitude, the cold-faced old man Ling finally softened his expression.
It's good enough if you know you are wrong and are willing to correct it! However -
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Old Man Ling glanced at Aunt Ling San who looked indignant, and "Ling Wu Ya" who still had red eyes.
He coughed lightly and winked at Old Lady Ling again.
Having been husband and wife for decades, there is definitely a tacit understanding between the old couple.
Old Mrs. Ling understood immediately, and she acted like a domineering head of the household, making the decision without any intention of consulting her children.
"Alright! Since Lie has admitted his mistake and said he will never gamble again, this matter is over!"
"No one can mention it from now on—"
If it were in the past, Aunt Ling would have really been frightened.
But today was different, she was right! Of course, Third Aunt Ling was smart, and even if she was right, she wouldn't make a scene.
She was very good at grasping the key points: "Mother, where is our Wu Ge'er?"
Third Aunt Ling had made up her mind. If her mother-in-law said that Wu Ge'er was not allowed to study, she would just start a fight! Old Lady Ling glared at Third Aunt Ling. This troublemaker was really restless.
But this time, Brother Lie was in the wrong, so Grandma Ling couldn't be too partial to him.
Furthermore, Ling Lie’s gambling did shock and disappoint the old couple.
They also had a hidden worry in their hearts: Could the eldest grandson really be unreliable? They were partial to him, but they also wanted to bring honor to their family.
Ling Wu is also a grandson.
If he can be stronger than the eldest grandson, it will be a good thing for the Ling family and for the old couple!
"Study! Brother Wu should study too!"
Old Mrs. Ling secretly rejoiced that Brother Lie won the bet.
After deducting the money for attending the poetry meeting, there is still fifteen taels left.
If we save this money, we can allow Wu Ge'er to study for a few more years.
"Where do you study?"
Third Aunt Ling was happy at first, but then her face turned calculating.
She now holds the upper hand and will not be satisfied with just letting her son study.
She wants to fight for the best interests of her son.
What's the point of studying? She wants her son to replace Ling Lie and win the majority of the Ling family's resources! Old Lady Ling's eyebrows are about to stand up.
She didn't expect that her third daughter-in-law would be such an "exploitative" person.
She has already let her son go to school, but she is still not satisfied? What? She also wants to go to the county? Humph, even Lie Ge'er first studied with the old scholar in the village for two years.
The old scholar said that he had a good academic record, so his family gritted their teeth and sent him to the county.
Wu Ge'er is going to the county right now?
Why? Aunt Ling said, "Brother Lie? Haha, he didn't finish his studies in the county, but he learned how to gamble!"
Gambling is a lifelong stain on Ling Lie.
Aunt Ling can bring it up at any time.
"Mom, please don't glare at me. Brother Lie gambled and lost everything. I didn't force him to do that!"
"We are all grandchildren of the Ling family. If Brother Lie is really determined to do his best, I won't say anything."
"But he——"
When Old Man Ling saw that his third daughter-in-law wanted to "bring up old issues" again, dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He coughed twice more.
After receiving the signal, Old Lady Ling immediately exploded: "Old Third's! I just said that this matter is over! Don't mention it again!"
Do you really think that having evidence is a golden ticket to immunity from death?
She is the mother-in-law, so she naturally suppresses her daughter-in-law.
If it weren't for Wu Ge'er's sake, Old Lady Ling would have slapped the third son's wife in the face long ago.
"…Mother! You are biased!"
This time, Aunt Ling has really risked everything for her son.
Even though her mother-in-law had a gloomy face, she bravely pretended not to see it.
Mrs. Ling: ...
The atmosphere in the main room suddenly became tense.
A battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, oh no, a family separation crisis is about to break out.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Gu Qingcheng stood up and said, "Grandma! Auntie! I have an idea——"
Today, "Ling Wuya"'s performance was really outstanding.
A sensible granddaughter, a sensible niece, a sister who loves her sister...
No matter what they thought in their hearts, Old Lady Ling and Third Aunt Ling would look up to Ling Wuya.
"What do you think?"
Aunt Ling was more active than the old lady. She had a hunch that the fifth girl's proposal would definitely favor her.
Even if there is no bias, Ling Lie would not have an easy time.
Aunt Ling has not forgotten that the fifth girl's repeated calling of "sister" just now was creepy to hear.
She dared to bet that the fifth girl hated that brat Ling Lie!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Not to mention, Ling Wuya was the first person to suggest that Wu Geer go to school.
Aunt Ling still remembers this favor.
"Third Aunt, you are right. They are all grandchildren of the Ling family and the hope for the future of the family."
"Why not let Ling Lie and the second brother go to a private school for three months? Whoever performs better will go to the county!"
Gu Qingcheng proposed an absolutely "fair" method.
Ling Lie: ...
Family members know their own business. Although he is the executor, the executor is not omnipotent.
Things like taking the imperial examination also depend on talent and luck.
Although this book is about a peasant family's imperial examination, its main point is the whitewashing of scumbags.
According to the setting in the article, the male protagonist's talent for studying is not as good as that of the supporting cousin, Ling Wu.
After Ling Lie came here, he thought about it and decided to find a chance to let Ling Wu go to school.
Because Ling Wu will definitely pass the exam and will be able to help me in the future.
As for Ling Lie, if we don't compare him with Ling Wu, he is also at a higher level.
But Ling Wu is a master in the imperial examination. He doesn’t even need to cheat. He is a cheat himself.
The executor in the small dark room: ...It’s really ruthless.
This almost killed Ling Lie's hope of studying...
