It was probably because of this harvest that my father had the courage to go to the mountains to "try his luck" again.
The family has more than one hundred taels of silver in savings, so why is my father still working so hard?
Zhao Qingyun also knew the reason——
First, it was for Zhao Qingyun, a talented man with a bright future.
But the private school teacher in the village was only a scholar, and Zhao Guodong was worried that it would delay Zhao Qingyun, so he planned to go to the county.
There is a college in the county. The dean of the college is a retired official, and most of the teachers are juren.
Both the teachers and the quality of the students are far superior to those of the private school in Zhaojiazhuang.
However, going to the county is not as simple as just talking about it.
Buying a house or a shop requires money!
Zhao Guodong once went to the county to inquire and found out that it would cost more than one hundred taels of silver to buy an ordinary small courtyard.
The house he valued, with shops in front and a yard in the back, cost more than three hundred taels.
Zhao Guodong has always been a man of plans, always looking three steps ahead.
He decided to move his family to the county town and would not rashly use all his savings to buy a house and then leave his family starving.
He also bought a shop. Even if he couldn't open a pharmacy himself, he could still make a profit by renting it out.
The second reason was for his wife, Gu.
Gu is weak and easily deceived.
The Zhao family's old house is full of top-notch people, and their appetites have been developed by the Gu family.
When I first came to borrow money, it was only a dozen or dozens of cents.
Later on, he even dared to borrow five taels of silver.
Zhao Guodong couldn't imagine that in a few years, those people in the old house would have emptied out all his assets.
Zhao Guodong liked Gu and couldn't bear to scold him.
Ahem, of course even if he scolded her, Gu might not learn his lesson.
Since he couldn't change his wife, Zhao Guodong had no choice but to move.
If they stay away from Zhaojiazhuang and the group of vampires in the old house, their lives might be better.
It just so happened that there was such a nice house in the county, which met Zhao Guodong's requirements in every way, except that it was short of more than two hundred taels of silver.
No matter how capable Zhao Guodong is, it is impossible for him to make so much money in such a short period of time.
Thinking of the "surprise" he had gotten in the mountains, Zhao Guodong -
Recalling this, a dark light flashed in Zhao Qingyun's eyes.
He is also responsible for his father's death.
However, Zhao Qingyun soon perked up.
He knew that even if he regretted and blamed himself, his father would never come back.
The dead are gone, but the living must continue to live well.
Clenching his fists tightly, Zhao Qingyun once again said silently in his heart: Dad, you can go with peace of mind, I am still here in this family!
He will be filial to his mother, take care of his younger brother, take the imperial examination, become a high-ranking official, and bring honor to the Zhao family!
"Da Lang, this business is really profitable. Over a hundred taels of silver, I can earn back forty taels in a month!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice the changes in expression on Zhao Qingyun's young face, and she continued talking.
More than one hundred taels of silver?
These few words were like a heavy hammer, waking up the dazed Zhao Qingyun!
His eyes suddenly widened as he looked at his mother, whose eyes were gleaming with a clear, foolish expression. "Mother, you, you used all the money Father left you to do business?"
Over a hundred taels of silver were swindled away in an instant?!
Zhao Qingyun only felt that his vision was getting darker and darker.
When the maid who looked like she was from a wealthy family brought her mother back, she kept saying that she had met a noble person in the city and that she had spent ten taels of silver to buy a broken knife on the way.
Zhao Qingyun just thought that his mother had been fooled by someone again and had been cheated out of dozens of taels of silver.
But he never expected that his own mother would be so "courageous" as to take away all the money in the house!
More than one hundred taels of silver was enough for their family to live peacefully in Zhaojiazhuang during the three-year mourning period.
If planned properly, there should be some left for him to use as capital for making money in the future.
result--
Zhao Qingyun pinched his palm hard, using the pain to remind himself to stay rational.
He was worried that he would lose control of his emotions in a fit of rage and start yelling at his mother.
There have been some bad rumors circulating recently.
Zhao Qingyun will not be affected by other people's words, but he can't completely ignore them.
If his reputation is ruined, what future can he have?
Logically speaking, as a woman, you should follow the three obediences and four virtues.
It is even more of a rule to obey your son after your husband's death.
But Zhao Qingyun, this "son", is too young. He dares to control his mother at such a young age. This will give some people who are looking for trouble the opportunity to slander him.
Zhao Qingyun has a clear and long-term plan for his life, and he must not let these small problems affect his big plans!
I'm not angry. I can't lose my temper with my mother.
cocoa--
More than one hundred taels of silver!
Is it all in vain?
Zhao Qingyun felt as if his heart was bleeding. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness and endless helplessness towards his mother, Dan Chun.
"Yes! Your father left a total of more than 130 taels of silver. I gave your cousin 120 taels as a share, and the remaining 10 taels to that poor father..."
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to be able to read other people's expressions and continued to speak innocently.
ps: It’s New Year’s Eve. Although it still doesn’t have the festive atmosphere as usual, New Year is New Year. I would like to wish all my dear book friends a happy New Year’s Eve and good luck in the Year of the Rabbit in advance!
