When Gu Qingcheng said this, Old Mrs. 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 is poor and can only afford to send one boy to school.
Ling Lie is the eldest grandson and has the upper hand.
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 accept this.
Why? They are all grandchildren of the Ling family. The ones from the older family can go to school, but theirs can only farm in the countryside?
Obviously her son is also smart.
Ling Lie was reciting his lessons at home, and her son Ling Wu learned it after eavesdropping a few times.
What a smart child! If he can go to academy, he will definitely be better than those from old families!
It’s hateful that these two old men are so biased that 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 San is also smart and has never thought about dividing the family.
Not only will there be no one to take care of you after the separation, but the labor service alone can be fatal.
If the family does not split up, the Ling family only needs to send 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 mean suffering at the very least, or even losing your life.
What would happen to them, the widow and the orphan, if their husbands were gone?
In addition, Aunt Ling San also had a little idea - if the family did not split up, perhaps the whole family could support her son's studies in the future!
Why can the eldest son of the family spend all the money of the Ling family?
For him, she even sold her second wife's daughter?
Her son is also the grandson of the Ling family. Whatever Ling Lie has, her Ling Wu should also have!
For many reasons, Aunt Ling San was determined not to split the family.
The second wife’s daughter is going to be sold again today, and Aunt Ling San even has the mind to watch the show.
However, when this matter became related to her own interests, Aunt Ling immediately lost her interest in being a spectator.
She rushed to the front in a flash.
"Fifth girl, what did you say?"
Aunt Ling stared at Gu Qingcheng, unwilling 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 support my second brother's studies!"
"There are two male descendants 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 the college entrance examination. He will definitely pass the examination and may even pass the examination for the title of 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.
When Gu Qingcheng said this, she 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 hard, not caring about her jealousy towards the eldest wife, and followed Gu Qingcheng's words, praising her lavishly:
"Yes! Yes, yes!"
"Oh, Wu Ya is so right!"
"Our brother Lie has been studying for seven or eight years, so he must have learned it. He even spent money to participate in a poetry competition, so he will definitely pass the exam this year."
"If you win the lottery, 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 will be able to go to school!"
"Both of my grandsons went to school. One failed the exam, but there's still another one!"
With double insurance, the Ling family will have a better chance of changing their fortune.
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 clearly stated that she will use the money from selling her to send Wu Ge'er to school.
If Third Aunt Ling can't even seize this God-given opportunity, then she is just as foolish and useless as the Second Wife!
Old Mrs. Ling's face became even stiffer.
She never expected that the fifth girl would say such a thing.
This child, I just praised 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 openly and secretly wanted to send Wu Ge'er to school.
Before, the third eldest brother of the Ling family had suppressed them, and was bound by rules and filial piety, so he did not dare to really make a fuss.
The fifth girl was so good that she actually brought it up directly.
After hearing what she said, the third family could no longer help but make a fuss.
Old Mrs. Ling is a shrew herself, so she naturally knows how a shrew thinks.
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-ge is a good student and will definitely pass the exam? Now that he's almost there, can't my Wu-ge 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!"
