The heart-wrenching and heartbroken crying made those who heard it cheer and those who listened to it grin.
The group of people gathered outside suppressed their laughter and waved their hands:
"There's nothing to see. There's a thief in the village. Go home and check if your belongings are missing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of the group of people disappeared instantly.
Oh my god!
Why didn't they think of this just now?!
"I have to go back and take a look!"
In a short time, more than half of the onlookers disappeared.
The remaining few looked at each other in confusion: "Lao Li, why don't you reply?"
"My wife is here! She went back to see him. How about you?"
"Hey! My family is so poor that even if a mouse comes, they would be reluctant to leave a few grains of rice. How could it be worth stealing?"
They looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Other people’s jokes are funny, but our own people are not full either!
Thinking of this, the rest of the people soon dispersed.
When no one was watching, Song Quan raised his hand and slapped Song's mother:
"Idiot! You dare to shoot anything out!"
He ignored it completely, as he was the one who asked first.
Song's mother covered her face, cried silently, and dared not speak.
Boss Song couldn't help but accuse her, "Mom, how dare you say anything! Now that so many people have heard everything! I'm afraid our house will be robbed again in the future!"
"You really are...how can you be so stupid?! Forget it, just give me the money first. I have to quickly pay the salary to Dabao."
Mother Song looked at her eldest son in disbelief.
She was beaten, but her son was still obsessed with money?!
But thinking of her precious grandson, she could only take out one of the money bags and hand it to Boss Song:
"Then go quickly! Don't delay Dabao's studies!"
Boss Song weighed his purse and said, "Mom, this money is not enough."
"Isn't the tuition one tael?" Although Song's mother asked this, she still rummaged in her purse, intending to take out a few more copper coins for her son.
Unexpectedly, he heard the eldest brother say, "The tuition fee is one tael. But Dabao wants to go to school, so he has to give gifts to the teacher, buy pens, inkstones, and two new sets of clothes. Otherwise, when he enters school, his classmates will look down on him!"
Mother Song's eyes widened: "This... I didn't ask for so much when I was studying with the old scholar before!"
"How can that be compared?! How much knowledge does the old scholar have! In other academies, the least knowledgeable people are all Juren masters!"
Boss Song shouted exaggeratedly.
In fact, he didn't know the level of knowledge of the teachers in the academy.
But just exaggerate it.
Anyway, his parents don’t understand.
Mother Song listened with a pang of sadness in her heart: "Mom! The teacher at that academy is so amazing?! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If we had sent Dabao there earlier, maybe he would have become a scholar by now!"
Boss Song: ...
The corners of my mouth twitched when I heard this.
His mother had limited knowledge and always thought that her son was the God of Literature who had descended to earth and was very good at studying.
But he knew that his son was not cut out for studying!
If it weren't for the convenience of asking his mother for money, his son would not be willing to go to the academy.
However, he would not say that.
After Song's mother had muttered enough, she directly took out another purse and gave it to him.
The purse used to contain one or two taels of silver and a few copper coins.
There is real silver in this purse!
Boss Song weighed it and couldn't help grinning.
Hey!
This bag contains at least three taels of silver!
Enough for him to gamble a few times!
Song's mother, who had no idea what her son was thinking, was still dreaming of her grandson becoming an official and herself becoming a lady after the eldest son Song passed away.
Song Quan narrowed his eyes and said, "Please keep the money first. I'll go find the village chief."
Their family lost money, so we have to give him an explanation!
Mother Song nodded.
As soon as Song Quan left, he found another cave and hid the silver.
The old village chief is now old and can no longer do anything.
Besides, I lost a hundred taels of silver!
This matter is too big for him to handle.
He asked his son to take Song Quan to report to the authorities.
Song Quan didn't want to go.
He was just an ordinary citizen, but he didn't dare to confront the officials. "Old village chief, please help us find it. There's no need to report it to the authorities."
The old village chief looked at his cowardly look, rolled his eyes, and sat there calmly:
"I can't do anything about this. Either report it to the police or just accept the consequences."
Song Quan was full of confusion.
He really doesn't dare to deal with the officials!
But he was unwilling to just admit defeat.
That’s one hundred taels of silver!
Zhuzi was drying grain in the yard at this moment. Seeing Song Quan's expression, he sneered:
"If you ask me, Uncle Quan should just admit his mistake. The silver wasn't yours anyway, so if it's lost, it's lost. If this is reported to the authorities, you might even have to return the silver!"
These words directly touched upon Song Quan's deepest concerns.
He looked at the pillar and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The old village chief glared at his grandson and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Who has the right to interrupt the official?!"
Zhuzi pursed his lips, lowered his head to rake the grain, and couldn't help muttering:
"That's right. I'm not wrong! One hundred taels of silver! That's Brother Che's pension! Our emperor pays the most attention to the soldiers. You know, this pension was robbed. Maybe not only the silver needs to be returned, but the robbers will also..."
"Zhu Zi!" the old village chief stopped him.
Zhuzi glanced at Song Quan, sneered, picked up the rake and walked to the other side without saying anything else.
