Another thing is that I get two new sets of clothes every year. Classmates also occasionally go out for small gatherings.
That's not all; the teachers at the county school also have to present gifts for the three festivals and six occasions..."
It is precisely because of these various expenses that children from poor families cannot afford to go to school.
Many of them only study for a year or two, learn a few characters, and then go out to find work.
Those who were able to continue their studies often relied on the combined resources of their entire family or even their entire clan to support them.
His parents were not particularly hardworking, especially after he passed the imperial examination.
As their son continued calculating, the elderly couple's faces grew increasingly dark, as if they had returned to the days when the whole family worked hard and gritted their teeth to earn money.
Seeing the two elders' unpleasant expressions, Qi Mingyu felt inexplicably pleased.
Deep down, she even blamed the two of them for her impending divorce from Chi Yu.
Only when the two of them regret their actions will he have truly gotten his revenge on them.
This strange sense of pleasure made him continue to rub salt into the unseen wounds of the two of them.
"Mom, when my eldest brother was still alive, what did we eat every day?"
After the Chi family came into the family, what kind of life did we live, and what did we eat?
Mother, you and Father know the truth about many things, don't you?
I don't know why you and Dad are targeting her like this.
Is it because she is a hunter's daughter and I am a scholar that I feel she is not good enough for me?
If that's the case, why spend her money and use her things while treating others so harshly?
I didn't say it before because I thought you were my parents, and I should be more filial to you.
So I tell myself, being a wife or a daughter-in-law, who hasn't gone through this?
Looking back now, how could I have had such a thought?
I was wrong, terribly wrong.
But Mother, you and Father, ask yourselves honestly, did you do the right thing?
I do want to remarry, but I need the Chi family's consent.
Perhaps in her opinion, she would be more comfortable without me and without our family.
If you're not happy, they're even less happy.
After saying this, Qi Mingyu, knowing his own limitations, said nothing more and just kept walking forward.
As he relentlessly attacked his parents, deriving satisfaction from their regretful expressions, he also deeply understood where he had gone wrong.
He was blinded by greed and did something to betray the Chi family.
However, he paid a price for it; from then on, he no longer wasted his time on such meaningless things.
We'll discuss everything after the autumn imperial examinations!
If Lady Chi is still unmarried and willing to give him a chance, then he will bring her back and give her the respect she deserves.
If you don't want to, then forget it.
As the old clan chief said, when he has the ability in the future, he will help that son he has only met once.
To be honest, he was neither a good husband nor a good father.
After learning that Ms. Chi was pregnant, he didn't take it to heart, and never even thought about naming her.
It was only when he was taken away by the Chi family that he learned his family called him Little Stone.
Thinking this, Qi Mingyu's regret deepened.
If he named the child, it at least proves that he still cares about the child and has kept that little guy in his heart.
But now, it's too late to say anything...
Chi Yu, who was out searching for someone with her elder brother and nephew, was unaware of the minor dispute between the three members of the Qi family, and even less aware of Qi Mingyu's intentions.
At that moment, she saw a dark spot moving rapidly towards her at the end of the road and asked:
"Brother, look over there in the distance, is that a carriage?"
The distance was too far, and Chi Dahu squinted, unable to see very clearly.
