As for what Mu Yuan said about gods, he just thought she was hysterical.
His wife must be too tired, so he let her take a rest and went to grind the beans himself.
Mu Yuan burst into tears and ignored him completely, thinking that Li Shi despised her.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have chosen him.
Mu Yuan regretted it in her heart.
"My dear, please don't cry. If you really don't want to, I will grind the beans for you." Li Shi said.
"You said it, I didn't force you." Mu Yuan cried.
"Making money should be my job, not my wife's." Li Shi said.
"Okay." Mu Yuan nodded.
Then Li Shi went to grind the beans. He put the soaked beans into the grinding wheel and started pushing it.
He pushed hard, and after pushing a little, the veins on his forehead bulged, which showed how hard he pushed.
He was a weak scholar, only slightly stronger than Mu Yuan.
After a while, he was sweating profusely, panting, and exhausted.
He gritted his teeth and continued to push, his arms trembling, showing that he had tried his best.
Li Shi pushed for half an hour, and his back and arms ached.
Finally, he sat down on the ground exhausted.
"No, my lady, I'm so tired." Li Shi gasped heavily.
Tired of doing it.
Mu Yuan looked disgusted. She hadn't been promoting it for as long as she had, and this was not enough. How could she make money?
She looked at the soybean juice that was ground out and said, "How can this amount be enough to make tofu? How can we make money if we can't make tofu? We will all starve to death!" Mu Yuan said dissatisfiedly.
"My lady, I tried my best." Li Shi said helplessly.
"What a waste!" Mu Yuan said angrily.
Li Shi blushed when he was told that.
Neither of them could push the mill, and they had no money to buy a donkey. A young donkey would take several months to raise, and time waits for no one. A full-grown donkey would cost several taels, but they didn't have the money.
So the two of them had to find a job that could make money.
Li Shiyi went to bookstores to copy books for others to make money. He was paid ten cents for each book and it took him more than ten days to copy.
It is also not enough to cover expenses.
Mu Yuan has nothing but beauty.
When she went out to look for a job, a rich man saw her and was struck by her beauty.
"Whose wife is this?" the rich girl asked the person next to her with a lustful look.
Mu Yuan has her hair tied up, and it's obvious that she's married.
"This is the wife of poor scholar Li Shishi. You little brat is so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife." The man who was speaking said jealously.
"It's a shame that such a beautiful woman is dressed so poorly."
When Li Shi was copying books that day, the shop owner introduced someone to him.
Li Shi looked at the ordinary-looking rich girl inexplicably and asked, "Who is she?"
"My name is Wang Fu, and my uncle is the prefect of the capital."
Li Shi knelt down immediately. Although Wang Fu had no official position, his uncle was a high-ranking official. People with the surname Wang were always afraid of being officials.
"Greetings, Wang Xizi."
"Get up, get up." Wang Fu smiled and helped Li Shi up.
"I wonder what Wang Xizi wants to talk to me about?" Li Shi asked in confusion.
Wang Fuqi continued, "I know you've taken the exam twice and failed. I can help you get second place."
Li Shi's eyes lit up.
Although it's only third place, it's already pretty good.
He failed the exam twice. He wanted to pass so badly, but he didn't have the ability.
He knew he didn't have the ability, but he was unwilling to give up, so he just kept studying.
The family became poorer and poorer because of buying books.
My mother left me with no money at all.
"Thank you, Wang Xizi." Li Shi said happily.
"Hey! Don't thank me yet, I didn't help you for nothing." Wang Xizi said with a smile.
