Liu thought her husband's statement was ridiculous, but when she thought about what happened to her own daughter, it didn't seem so ridiculous.
"So, this is why you're digging holes around the house?"
Liu pointed to the warehouse in front of her which was in a state of disrecognizable condition.
If it weren't for what happened today, Lin Anru told her her previous guess, Liu would definitely give him a taste of her two loving little fists.
"Yes." Lin Anru admitted that he was not very confident before, and all he did was to be prepared for any eventuality.
Until today, the speculation has become more certain. With the matter of the daughters exchanging souls, Lin Anru thought that if he told Liu about it, Liu would probably believe it.
"My guess is probably not too wrong. Disaster will really come starting next year."
It is good to know how things are going to go in advance so that you can make arrangements early, but the corresponding pressure also comes early.
Liu's heart tightened: "We must be fully prepared for this."
Lin Anru nodded and hesitated for a moment:
"Tell me, should I stop going to the private school for now and resume it next year after the storm is over?"
After all, studying is a big expense. If he doesn't go, the family will have a lot of money left over.
Liu pursed her lips, she disapproved in her heart.
My husband has been delaying for many years and has given up again this time. It is still unknown whether he can continue to study next time.
The imperial examination is not only her husband's pursuit, but also her father's and hers.
"Or, you can ask Sister Yu."
Liu passed the question to Lin Shiyu. Before her daughter left, she said that her daughter was very capable now and she would listen to her opinions when necessary.
"Okay, I'll ask her later."
"What do you want to ask?" Lin Shiyu just walked over and asked casually.
Lin Boyu followed her and silently picked up another hoe to help his father.
He swore that he really wanted to come and share his father's work, not to help out of curiosity about what his parents were talking about.
Lin Anru and Liu turned around and looked at their son in tacit understanding.
Their eldest son still knows nothing about the situation at home!
"Your father suspects there will be a major disaster next year. Should he suspend his studies and save the money to store supplies?"
Liu didn't intend to hide it from her son, but she didn't deliberately want to tell him either.
Anyway, he was always at home and no one avoided him when talking. It depended on him how much key information he could gather from the conversation.
Lin Boyu: ???
What did he hear?
His father is planning to stop going to school?!
His father predicts there will be a major disaster next year?!
When did his father learn this ability to predict the future without his knowledge?
Lin Boyu had many doubts in his mind, but no one in his family was willing to help him solve them.
"Huh? Definitely not!" Lin Shiyu raised her hands in strong opposition: "Dad, are you confused? Putting aside other things, you can earn more by selling a few more boxes of ointment at the private school than our family can earn by working hard at home. Don't be so pessimistic!"
"I was thinking left."
Lin Anru patted his head. He was thinking about how to make money at the private school not long ago, so why did he suddenly think about saving money?
"Also, Dad. Don't focus on making money. Your priority should be to pass the imperial examinations. Otherwise, we won't be able to keep our wealth even if we have it."
If you have money but no power, then you will become a walking delicacy.
"You're right." Lin Anru nodded, then turned to his son and said, "Your father and I will study hard to get a good degree. I'll leave the housework to you."
As he said this, he placed the hoe in his hand directly on his son.
Lin Boyu held two hoes in one hand, and pointed at himself and Lin Anru with the other hand, and finally looked at his mother and sister.
Liu stood up, patted his shoulder and said earnestly:
"Son, since you don't like studying, I'll leave the housework to you."
"No! Mom..."
"You don't want to do it, do you? If you don't, then your mother and I will have to do it. We are so pitiful. We are not in good health and can't even rest. Wuwuwu..."
Liu pretended to wipe away her tears, but in fact the corners of her mouth had already curled up.
Lin Boyu was overwhelmed when he heard his mother crying. No matter what, the first thing to do was to comfort her:
"I think so. Don't cry, Mom. Let me do all the housework from now on."
Liu stopped wiping her tears and said, "You said it yourself, don't go back on your word. Only the little dog would regret it."
Lin Boyu said weakly: "Yes, I won't regret it~"
After receiving the assurance, Liu left humming an unknown tune.
"younger sister."
Suddenly there were only two people left here, and Lin Boyu could only ask his sister for comfort.
Hey, he just wants to eat a melon, why is it so difficult?
He ate the melon without knowing what was going on, but took on all the household chores.
"Look at me, I'm useless. I have more things to do than you!"
Lin Boyu thought about his sister's daily life and found that it was true. His sister was never idle. The only times she went out to play were when she was dragged out by a few friends.
"Who told you not to like studying? If you don't study, you have to work more. Look at any family where people learn a craft and they do more housework. So if you don't want to work, you have to study more. Studying is only temporary, but working is for a lifetime."
This little guy has entered his rebellious period. Everything else is fine except that he is particularly averse to studying.
Her father was not often at home, and Liu's several attempts to discipline her had little effect, which is why this happened today.
"Do your best, young man."
Lin Shiyu also wanted to pat his shoulder, but she had to give up because she was not tall enough.
"What is going on?"
Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Boyu threw the hoe to the ground and muttered softly.
He also wants to study hard, but his peers in the whole village are having fun outside. Why is he the only one who needs to stay at home and study hard every day? It's not fair!
Although he was unhappy, Lin Boyu finally picked up the hoe.
If his father doesn't do it and he doesn't do it either, then his mother and sister will really have to do it. He can't bear to see them work so hard.
......
When Lin Shiyu passed by her parents' room, she found that Liu, who had returned to her room, was secretly observing Lin Boyu's reaction behind the door.
Seeing her daughter coming, she pulled her into the room.
"How does your brother react?"
"It's not bad. I'll observe it over the next few days to see if I should switch to other methods."
"Okay, I hope his bad habit can be cured in one go." Liu looked forward to it.
