Chapter 48: Questioning
Qin Huiyin wanted to invite Mr. Tang San to stay for dinner, but the latter refused, saying that his old arms and legs were a little sore and he planned to go back and have a good rest, and then left.
After Mr. Tang San left, everyone in the Tang family packed up their things first. After they had put their things in order, they began to review what had happened in the past few days.
First, Qin Huiyin explained what they had experienced in the county town and put the money they earned on the table.
"Here is an account book that records the money earned and spent every day. Do you want to take a look?" Qin Huiyin said as she handed the account book to Tang Yichen.
Tang Yichen took it and put it on the table.
"They won't see it, and I don't need to see it. Now every penny of money in the family is your credit, and it's right that it all belongs to you."
Although Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao helped, the little money they earned was not enough to pay for Tang Yixiao's monthly medicine and feed their several mouths.
Tang Yichen is not stupid. Of course he knows who is the leader of the family now. He also knows that Qin Huiyin and her daughter have paid more and they have taken advantage of it.
Tang Dafu was moved when he saw these children living in harmony.
Li Taohua is well-known for doting on her children. As long as Qin Huiyin is as close to the children as sisters, the family will not break up.
No one in the Tang family looked at it, so Qin Huiyin took the initiative to explain the situation.
She opened the account book, pointed to the last page and said, "At present, our family still has nine taels of silver and four hundred and fifty coins left. Now that there is no foreign debt, this money can still last for a while. However, I believe that everyone is not content with the status quo. My eldest brother wants to pass the imperial examination, and there will be many places where he will need to spend money. My younger brother's health requires a better doctor. If we earn enough money, we will be able to hire a famous doctor. Sister Luwu and I are girls, and we also need to prepare dowries..."
"Ahem..." Li Taohua cleared her throat, "Are you ashamed? How can you say this in front of others?"
"Are you someone else?" Qin Huiyin said confidently. "Everyone should have a plan. Only with a plan can you have a goal, and only with a goal can you know how to execute it."
"So what are your plans?"
"My plan is for big brother to prepare well for the exam. Whether our family can cross the class depends entirely on you, the golden phoenix..." Qin Huiyin smiled at Tang Yichen.
Tang Yichen: “…”
Golden Phoenix?
This was the first time someone said he was the Golden Phoenix.
"But I don't understand one thing, why don't you go to school?" Qin Huiyin looked at Tang Yi and smiled, "It shouldn't be a problem for us to support two scholars now."
Tang Yi smiled and scratched his head, saying distressedly: "At first, I was in poor health, and reading consumed too much energy and blood. For the sake of my longevity, I didn't do things that consumed my energy. Now I understand that not everyone is suitable for reading. I fall asleep when I hear my brother reading those long articles, so I don't want to study."
"Although not everyone is suitable for taking the imperial examination, it is necessary to be able to read and write, and one must also learn to do accounting. Big brother, you have been staying at home lately, can you spare an hour every day to teach Sister Luwu and me how to read?"
"Can."
Tang Luwu was stunned for a moment: "Do I have to learn it too?"
"Of course." Qin Huiyin said, "When our business grows, we may ask you to sign some documents. If you can't read, how do you know if there are any traps in the documents? If you can read, you can buy the books you like. Not all books in this world are flowery and pedantic, there are many interesting books."
"Does that mean I'm the only one in my family who can't read?" Tang Dafu asked weakly.
"Uncle Tang, why don't you learn from them?" Qin Huiyin said, "If everyone in the family can read, and you're the only one who can't, how unsociable you would be."
"I'm old enough, so I don't need it, right?" Tang Dafu thought that he still had to study with his son, and if he didn't study well, he would be scolded, which would be humiliating.
His eldest son never gave him face and had never concealed his disdain for him over the years. If they were not father and son, I'm afraid he wouldn't even look at him.
"If you were illiterate, and my mother tricked you into signing a divorce agreement one day, you wouldn't be able to tell and would still sign it honestly." Qin Huiyin threw down the bullet.
Tang Dafu: "...Taohua would never treat me like this."
"What can't my mother do?" Qin Huiyin said, as if she didn't believe it. "My mother is so beautiful, she must have to endure a lot of temptations every day. Those men are good-looking and can read and write, my mother might..."
Li Taohua: “…”
Is she so unreliable?
Also, my dear daughter, your mother has been married three times. Aren’t you afraid that if you instigate her like this, she will immediately become an abandoned woman?
Qin Huiyin winked at Li Taohua, signaling her to stay calm.
Tang Dafu looked at Li Taohua, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll learn it."
No matter what, at least you have to know the words "helishu".
The Tang sisters: "..."
I used to think it was embarrassing that their dad was so stupid that he couldn't live without "romantic luck", but now I suddenly realize that the things I looked down upon before can be sharp weapons once used well.
"This is all the money our family has now. Next we have to go to the county town to make money, but the county town is far away after all, and it is not realistic to go there every day, so I suggest that we go there every three days, one day to prepare food and take care of the crops in the fields, and one day to go to the city to do business. Going out early and returning late will definitely be very tiring, so we need to rest the next day. There is no end to making money, and we have to live a good life while doing business to make money, so physical and mental happiness is also important."
"My daughter is becoming more and more like the head of the family." Li Taohua said with a smile, "The business was thought up by my daughter, and I will do whatever she arranges."
"I'll listen to Taohua." Tang Dafu looked at Li Taohua infatuatedly.
The others were actually used to it and simply ignored him.
Tang Yichen said: "My focus is on the scientific examination. I have to trouble you to take care of the family affairs. We will cooperate with whatever arrangements you make."
Qin Huiyin was delighted.
younger sister?
Is this recognized by the male lead?
It seems that his life is saved.
"Things at home have been arranged, it's time for Brother Chen to tell us what happened to your injury." Li Taohua said, "Who stabbed you? Chen Zhongyi?"
Tang Yichen said calmly, "Yes. I took the doctor to argue with him, and he was exposed for his conspiracy. He was so angry that he pulled out a dagger and stabbed me during the scuffle."
After hearing this, everyone cursed Chen Zhongyi over and over again.
At the same time, they were extremely grateful that this incident ended safely. While dealing with the villain, Tang Yichen was able to escape unscathed.
They didn't ask for details, and Tang Yichen wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative.
Qin Huiyin was the only one who had doubts in her heart, but she would not ask actively. After all, the result was good, and there was no need to be too curious about the process.
