"Brother, are you still alive?" He looked as if he was going to see his father, and his face looked even worse than when his father died.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Congratulations, Third Brother."
Dazhuzi's eyes were complicated. "Congratulations, Uncle San. Congratulations, Uncle San. Did Xiao Lei pass the exam?"
"I passed the exam, I passed the exam, I ranked in the top ten, which is an incredible result! By the way, brother, we didn't know that there were rankings for scholars before, what's your ranking?"
Zhao Dawen was confused. What was his ranking? Was he the last one?
There were fifty in total, and he was forty-eighth.
The scholar's ranking was really hard for him to talk about. Not only was he ranked low, but the key was 4848, which meant death, death. It was too unlucky.
It turned out to be unlucky indeed, and he failed every exam since then.
Zhao Dawen pursed his lips tightly.
Dazhuzi's eyes were full of shock. His parents were right to say that his uncle was very good, otherwise they wouldn't have both passed the exam in just a few months. If his uncle was willing to adopt him, would he be the one who got married now?
If his uncle accepted his request and let him study with him, would he be able to succeed? If his parents had supported him, would he have succeeded and changed his family status?
Dazhuzi was in a state of confusion, filled with jealousy, envy, resentment, and regret...
These emotions intertwined together, and he felt like he was going crazy!
Li Shi Tu looked like he was struck by lightning, his face turned as pale as a ghost. It turned out that late enlightenment does not mean that one cannot pass the imperial examination, as long as one has the ability to make up for the gap of late enlightenment.
She was a little afraid to look up at the big pillar. Those watching the fun at the door were discussing that her father had chosen the wrong person as the heir. Did they also choose the wrong person?
Li was a little overwhelmed. If they chose the wrong person and delayed the boss's time, what should they do and how should they make up for it?
Everyone in the yard had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. No one invited him to sit in the main hall; they all stood there like wooden stakes.
"Would you like to invite us in and sit down for a while?" Finally, the village chief broke the silence.
Zhao Dashu was very satisfied with their reaction. He was very satisfied. You couldn't accept it, right? It was quite good.
Wang and Li came back to their senses at the same time. "I'm so happy that I'm stupid. Third brother, come in and sit down. I'll make you some red sugar water. I don't know what good deeds our Zhao family has done to have two scholars in one family!"
The voice suddenly stopped, and she remembered that the only person who was not a peasant was her husband. Not only could he not pass the imperial examination, he didn't even know his own name.
My heart aches like a knife. How sad will he be when the boss comes back?
She hoped he could come back later today.
Zhao Dashu was barely sitting still when he said, "Dashu, my son, you're finally back. I almost missed you!"
When Old Sun rushed in, Zhao Dashu was shocked. "Is my mother seriously ill? Why has she lost so much weight?"
The village chief Liu Shunzi then remembered that they had forgotten to mention Old Sun.
The old woman is also a weirdo, and the disease she suffers from is also a weird disease that has never been heard of.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"
Zhao Dawen, Wang, and Li all shrank back at the same time. Who dares to bully an old woman? If she doesn't bully others, won't everyone be laughing?
"My son, your mother has a miserable life. At the end of her life, she thought she would enjoy a few days of happiness, but she unexpectedly got a serious illness!"
Zhao Dashu took a closer look and found that apart from being a little thinner, he was still as energetic as ever, so there was no big problem.
"What's wrong? Just get treatment. We have three sons and a family, and we don't have much money. We are not poor. What disease does the doctor say?"
Old Mrs. Sun couldn't bear to think about it. She would jump up and down when she thought about it. She should go to the provincial capital with her son. There must be many doctors there.
"Third brother, after you left, I suddenly fainted one day. But Huang supported her, so she was not hurt." Wang explained hurriedly, for she was afraid that her mother-in-law would say something wrong.
"We sent her to the county town, and then... I forgot what the doctor said she had. It was a disease she got from eating too much when she was over 60 years old."
Zhao Dashu was confused. How could someone get sick even if they ate so much? He admired his mother's physique.
"What do you mean?"
"Son, you think this is ridiculous, too, don't you? I suspect the doctor is jealous of my good health and is just talking nonsense on purpose. How can anyone get a disease caused by eating too much?"
Thinking of the diet the doctor had told her, Old Sun was overwhelmed with sorrow. God knows what kind of life she had been living recently. She even wanted to bite Huang's hand.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Coarse grains, all kinds of coarse grains, cabbage, radish, and greens."
"Puchi!" Zhao Dashu laughed unkindly. Did the doctor collect money from my elder brother in advance? No wonder my mother lost so much weight. Wouldn't she lose weight without meat?
"Brother, what did the doctor say?"
"It is said that my mother has been unrestrained for a long time. She eats a lot of meat and fish every day, and eats too many snacks, so she fainted. The diet is light, which does not mean that she should eat coarse grains every day, but she should eat light food. Fatty meat is the best thing to avoid, and other meats are the same.
It’s not that you can’t eat fine grains, but you have to eat them in moderation. You have to keep up with other things, and you can’t eat all the fat. But you have to give up snacks, and don’t eat sweets if you can.”
Old Mrs. Sun is about to cry. She wanted to eat but had nothing to eat a few decades ago, and now she wants to eat but is not allowed to. What a sin she has committed.
He pulled Zhao Dashu's sleeve and said, "Third brother, I think the doctor did it on purpose. He is jealous of my good life. I told you to find a few more doctors, but your eldest brother was reluctant to spend the money and refused to do anything.
They also said that the other party was the most famous doctor in the county, which must be correct. I tell you, they must have colluded with the doctor to save money.
They don't even think about how much food you give me. Almost all the food and drink are given by you. Did I eat their food? Unfilial son! "
Zhao Dawen's face turned pale and blue. Li and Wang didn't even bother to look at him. What exactly did the mother-in-law mean? How had they been unfilial that she would say that to them?
He is obviously a talkative person who has no self-control and refuses to listen even though his health is ruined.
Huang said that she not only had meat for three meals a day, but also had to eat a full stomach before going to bed. At night, she either had stewed meat or pig's trotters or roasted chicken, which made her very happy. The most outrageous snacks she had were almost a pack a day, and she carried melon seeds and candies in her pocket and ate them wherever she went.
This is what unlucky people are like, they are not destined to enjoy happiness.
