Chapter 28: The Pressure (540+)
"Embarrassing you?" The old man looked at his son and then at his grandson, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Old Man Zeng didn't know that sending Zeng Quan and Zeng Yi to the provincial capital would make the eldest grandson embarrassed. But he felt that he really couldn't do it.
Building a house at home, borrowing a house Originally, the old man also thought that he wanted to borrow a slightly larger place, and everyone lived together, anyway, it didn't take long for everyone to crowd over. It's just that this time, it seems that everyone's hearts are scattered.
Zeng Quan said at the time that he was going to live in the workshop, saying that he had no books to read anyway, so it was better to do some work and make some money; Zeng Yi also said when he heard that he was busy, it is exactly like this, the workshop also includes food and accommodation, which is better than owing favors.
And when Ouyang heard that her two sons were not at home, she said that anyway, the workshop was in her mother's village, and she happened to go back to live and could take care of her sons. And the Ouyang clan never thought about bringing Zeng Qing back.
Do you want to go back to your parents' house, the old man didn't ask or care, do you love to go back. Anyway, the old man has long been out of her eyes, so these days, Ouyang can't come back to help, and the old man has never taken care of her. No one cooks, he does it himself, and it's not like he hasn't done it. He just wanted to see if the Ouyang clan had the ability to never come back.
But he can ignore the Ouyang family, but he can't ignore his grandson. Although the old man has various shortcomings, he is very persistent in one thing, his three grandsons must at least be talented. So the second and third said not to go to school, to go to work, this is what the old man can't bear anyway, just heard that Brother Hao was sent to the provincial capital Li Ping, the old man was moved, and let Zeng Qing, who had nothing to do all day, send the second and third together, at least to the provincial capital, there is a diligent big brother staring at it, and it can always be better.
"In order not to be embarrassed, this is a trivial matter, and it is a bit troublesome to let the second and third children go to the provincial capital to study. At least they have to be admitted to Xiucai, and there is also the fact that the grades can't be too bad, otherwise people won't accept ......" Zeng Fan hurriedly said what he wanted to do, indicating that even if you want to send them there, you should inquire first, and then talk about it when you are ready.
Old Man Zeng listened carefully to his grandson's words, and was silent, at this time, he didn't even have the mood to scold his son, and after a while, he said, "Then what do you mean?" ā
"When my grandson came back this time, he did these things, hoping that the second and third children could take the exam in the provincial capital. It can also help them settle down and read some books first. Zeng Fan sighed lightly.
The old man also sighed and took his grandson's hand, "I'm sorry for you." ā
"Fortunately, Ping'er is sensible, and she is willing to let the second and third children stay, otherwise, her grandson can't do it. The grandson still relies on Ping'er to do embroidery work every day to support, and now he has to take the second and third children, so he is really shameless to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law! Zeng Fan didn't say anything polite to his grandfather, he was very honest. He hasn't made a penny, and he hasn't asked his family for money, and now his grandfather is doing this, which is really embarrassing for him.
The old man saw the eldest grandson's embarrassment, and he also understood that now the eldest grandson doesn't want his own support, it's all the granddaughter-in-law who makes money by herself, and throws the second and third children to him, he is afraid that he will have no status at home.
"In the future, I will ask your uncle to bring you some money every month?" The old man also thought about it, the boss let his daughter-in-law raise him is already a bit faceless, and now put the second and third children to them, but I am afraid that the in-laws will not do it. When it came out, their family had no face. But I have to say that he doesn't have money to send to his grandson now, and the money left by his granddaughter-in-law to build a house, plus his own savings, is not enough at all, and now, his son and daughter-in-law can't help at all, and he really can't take it out.
"That's not necessary, if you don't study Yuelu Academy, other academies are not so expensive. If you have money, save it for the second and third daughters-in-law, and now it's time to think about letting them start a family. Zeng Fan doesn't want anything else, he just wants the second and third children to get married soon, they are married, and they will no longer live with their brother and sister-in-law!
"Where is it so easy." The old man sighed lightly.
"......" Zeng Fan originally wanted to say that if you look for the diligent one, you can do it. But think about it, isn't the mother diligent? In fact, he is also diligent, but what is the use of being diligent. And now, my mother is gone, and I feel big when I think about it, and I have to go to my uncle's house to pick up my mother, so I don't have to make people laugh.
Li Ping's water was finally boiled, she made tea, brought it in, and poured a bowl for each of them. Thinking about it, he still took out the silver ticket given by the embroidery workshop before from his arms, "I know that the family is not spared, you can take it first, whether it is to build a house or to say goodbye to your uncle, you can also use it." ā
"This is ......" The old man was illiterate, and it was impossible not to know the silver ticket, so he saw the amount clearly and asked hurriedly.
"Don't ask, you can take it first!" Li Ping didn't want to say that she earned it by embroidering, she didn't want her Zeng family to know that she could make a lot of money, and the ticket from the Chen family's money bank would more or less think that it was the private money her parents gave her.
"Eldest daughter-in-law!" The old man was really not moved, but felt that his face had been stepped on again, but if he wanted to get angry, he really had no reason to scream.
"Grandpa, ugly words ahead, this last twenty taels is my dowry, and this twenty taels is also my last body." Li Ping took a deep breath, "If I have a child, it won't be so convenient for me to work." Originally, I thought that if I made money, I would bring some back to you and my parents, and it would be a piece of our filial piety. But now, maybe we can't do it! Li Ping said very slowly, but very practically.
"yes, we're going to have kids?" Zeng Fan stood up violently, suddenly like a fool, patted his forehead, and looked at his grandfather, "Yes, we will also have children, grandpa, after the second and third children get married, they can study in the provincial capital, but their daughter-in-law can't also go to the provincial capital." Ping'er really can't afford to raise it. ā
"You still have subordinates! Even if you take them to do some housework, isn't it the same? Zeng Qing finally spoke, and he suddenly thought that if his daughter-in-law was pregnant, he could go to the provincial capital in the name of letting his wife take care of her. Then, now drive those two subordinates away, and don't save the food money of the two people.
"We didn't invite that person, I told you, it was with the house, and it belonged to someone else. If Dad thinks that we are enjoying happiness in the provincial capital, then Xianggong, you divorce me, I don't have the ability to support your family. Li Ping was not angry, but just smiled at Zeng Fan and said very calmly.
Kissing her became, what should have been done, and she did it. She thinks that she has nothing to be sorry for the Zeng family, and now if the Zeng family deceives people too much, then there is no need to talk about it anymore, just separate directly. (To be continued.) )
