Lin Weiming, however, did not think so.
“Mother, when I went to the county town, I heard that… it would be better to send the child to the academy to study. Otherwise, the child won’t even have any classmates to help him. Asking someone to act as a guarantor will cost money. If he accidentally offends someone and it gets out, it will be even worse…” Lin Weiming said hesitantly.
The family members were stunned when they heard this.
They always felt that as long as Lin Zhongyuan studied hard and his talents were enough to pass the exams, that would be sufficient.
I never expected there to be so many twists and turns in this.
The adults remained silent for a while, but Xuefu finally couldn't hold back any longer and whispered to Liu Junlan, "Mother, the child is reluctant to leave us, and we can't let the child be deprived of her education..."
“Then… shall our whole family go to the county town? But what can we eat and drink there? We don’t even have a house. What will we do if we just sit around and eat our meager savings?” Liu Junlan understood what her daughter-in-law meant.
However, she was very hesitant. On the one hand, she naturally felt that the money should belong to Lin Wanyue and should be kept for her.
On the other hand, they were also reluctant to leave their newly built house, which was so spacious and comfortable to live in!
If you go to the county town, renting a house will be inconvenient, and buying a house will cost a lot of money.
Most importantly, once you go to the county town, you have to spend money on everything. It's impossible to rely on what you grow on your own land for food and drink like you do at home, where it doesn't cost much money.
Staying at home is wonderful, but going out is difficult.
Xuefu, concerned about her son's future, said, "Mom, I don't have much to do at home. If I go to the county town, I'm afraid I can find some laundry work and earn some money."
“Weiming is strong; he can always find work in the county town.”
"Mhm." Lin Weiming nodded.
She looked at Liu Junlan with pleading eyes.
The five children in the family were very excited. If they went to the county town, wouldn't they be able to buy all kinds of pastries and fruits to eat every day?
The pastries sold in the county town are much tastier than those in the town center and market.
"Wanwan, do you want to go to the county town?" Liu Junlan thought for a moment, then took her granddaughter from her eldest grandson.
Lin Wanyue pouted and thought carefully for a moment, then said to Liu Junlan in a childish voice, "Go, go eat lots of delicious food! Guoguo also needs to study and become the top scholar!"
It's certainly a good thing that my older brother can go to study at the county academy.
Lin Wanyue was also very willing.
I just felt a little reluctant to part with it.
She's already quite familiar with the locals. Although the villagers can be a bit gossipy at times, most of them are indeed simple and honest people.
But for my older brother's sake, it's better to go to the county town!
“It’s not like we can’t come back from the county town. Although it’s far, we have an oxcart now, so it only takes half a day to go back and forth. If we want to come back, we can come back and visit,” Xuefu comforted her.
As for the three Lin brothers, they were all overjoyed to hear that they were going to the county town.
Lin Zheyun, in particular, asked his father with a grin, "Dad, do you think there are any martial arts schools in the county? Are their skills much better than yours? Could you send me to a martial arts school to learn sometime?"
"What? You want to learn how to beat up your dad?" Lin Weiming immediately saw through his son's little scheme.
"No, no!" Lin Zheyun quickly denied.
He can't beat his dad yet, so of course he can't admit it!
"Dad, I just want to learn a few more tricks so we can go up the mountain to hunt tigers together. We can hunt more tigers, earn more money, buy candy for Wanwan, and paper and pens for Big Brother," Lin Zheyun quickly said.
"Good brother, if I become a scholar in the future, I'll make you my bodyguard," Lin Zhongyuan said generously.
The brothers Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu looked at their eldest and second eldest brothers again and again, feeling as if they had forgotten about them.
The two quickly tugged at their elder brother Lin Zhongyuan's sleeve, saying, "Brother, what about me? What about us?"
"You two are useless. If you don't study hard and can't even write, you'll just be errand boys," Lin Zhongyuan said deliberately.
"..." An awkward and disappointed expression appeared on the faces of the two of them.
Lin Zheyun was laughing so hard he was slapping his thigh, and Lin Wanyue's eyes crinkled with laughter as well.
The family discussed their trip to the county town over dinner.
But even though the matter has been settled, it still needs to be done step by step.
The first thing they faced was finding a place to stay in the county town.
They didn't have any relatives in the county town. Even if they did, with such a large family, they would probably be seen as poor people trying to freeload.
To find a place to stay, you have to look around in advance. As for whether to rent or buy, you have to check the housing prices in the county town first, and also consider the little savings in your pocket.
Lin Wanyue quickly volunteered.
Looking after houses is her main job!
In her past life, most of her work involved helping people find houses and assess feng shui; exorcising ghosts was only a small part of it.
After all, only a minority of people in this world actually encounter ghosts, but those who believe in ghosts are not.
"Daddy, take me there, take me there!" Lin Wanyue raised her little hand high.
"Of course I'll take you."
No one objected, and Lin Weiming nodded in agreement.
Their daughter's abilities are obvious to all, and she's also their family's lucky charm.
Bring your daughter along; you might be able to find a good house at a reasonable price, and the whole family will feel more at ease living there.
