Chapter 130: Decision

"Mother, if my father had taken a concubine back then, what would you think?" Bai Yingtian was forced to be helpless, thinking that he should not do to others what he did not want. So I asked this question head-on.

"What? Your father took a concubine? He won't take a concubine, he's not that kind of person! Qian had a righteous and high-spirited expression. Although Master Bai dislikes her in various ways, she can be sure that with Master Bai's character, she will definitely not make a move to take a concubine.

"Sons aren't like that, mother! Our Bai family's family style has always been upright, and our son has been deeply influenced since he was a child, so he really can't do such a thing. Bai Yingtian felt that this problem of taking a concubine finally had an excuse that could be said to be in the past.

"How could you be the same? I was a man in one fell swoop. I gave birth to you in the first year of marriage! You don't know how long you're going to wait! Qian looked disapproving. Looking at Bai Yingtian's face that was somewhat similar to Master Bai, he knew that this son's temper was sometimes very similar to that of his husband, and he was a little reasonable. Now that I am fighting, I can't fight for anything. There was only one way to cry and complain in front of him.

The son's heart is very soft, as long as he often uses this trick against him, after a long time, he will not worry about disagreeing.

Qian made up his mind, and his face became even more uncomfortable: "My mother is old now, and I don't expect you to be promising." I just hope to see my eldest grandson in my lifetime! She said that tears were about to fall again. Bai Yingtian saw her like this, but he really couldn't get out of the fire in his stomach.

I had to accompany her and said to her, "Mother." You can rest assured! After three years, I will definitely give you a big grandson! Seeing that his son was soft, Qian knew that he couldn't push too hard for the time being. I took the opportunity to talk about other topics. "Yingtian. You can't be an official now, so why don't you go to your father's pharmacy! Your dad is in need of manpower, and it just so happens that you have learned from him since childhood. It should be much quicker to get started than those apprentices. As a doctor, the monthly consultation fee is enough for you to support your family. If you make a name for yourself, you might be able to earn more. ”

knew that his son was going to run a school, and he planned to recruit all the children of poor families. Qian had a hundred reluctances in his heart. If it is a school fee, don't talk about it, Bai Yingtian actually wants to accept those poor children, isn't this a thankless task? The children of poor families don't even have enough to eat. Will you still have the heart to come to study? Just to study, can they afford to buy paper and pencils? Perhaps, these things will have to be paid by Bai Yingtian himself.

The Bai family itself has a thin foundation. Now the main thing that supports the family's economy is the pharmacy of Master Bai. Although Master Bai is very good at medicine. Business in the pharmacy has been good. However, Master Bai is anxious and righteous, and when he encounters some patients from poor families who can't afford to pay for the consultation, he is very bold and directly rescues without taking a triage fee. This kind of fame is good, but the Bai family's income is only enough for food and clothing. And now Bai Yingtian's hard-won fame is gone, but he doesn't mean to go to his own pharmacy to help, but to go to the school opening hall. Qian said that he could not understand it.

"Mother. I want to help more people and open up people's wisdom. so that the people can be educated. If I go to the pharmacy, I won't be able to do these things. I want to learn like my husband and be a master who is full of peach and plums. ”

Hearing that Bai Yingtian actually wanted to study like Master Gao, Qian felt even more angry. "Although your husband said that he returned to his hometown to run a school, he had the identity of Tanhualang. And the Gao family's family background is not comparable to our family. Child, why are you so stupid? You don't have fame now, and you don't have the support of family wealth, how can you run a good school? Educating the people should be the business of the imperial court, our family is just a small common people, Ying Tian, you better leave it alone! ”

"Mother, my husband has always taught me that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Now I can only do it alone, but I can choose to do more to help others, so that I can live up to what I have learned in life. Speaking of his ideals, Bai Yingtian was excited, and it could be said that he was full of enthusiasm.

Qian shook his head, and said in his heart, why was this son all brainwashed by the Gao family? Thinking about what you don't have all day long, what the world, what the people, just don't think about the actual situation of your own family.

"What you say is a big truth, and I don't understand it. I only know that people live to eat, and if they can't eat enough, how can they live? Ying Tian, you can't support yourself now, but how can you do your big things? Qian felt that he was telling the truth.

Bai Yingtian was very sad to hear it. What my mother said is indeed not unreasonable, I can't pick it on my shoulder, I can't lift it with my hands, and the so-called useless person is a scholar. Although he has the ambition to serve the country, he has no choice but to succeed now and become famous. Even if you plan to prepare the money for the academy, you really can't get it for a while. It's just that I really have to give up? Thinking of his ideals for so many years, he was very unwilling.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll find a way to raise money. Some time ago, I received orders from several bookstores to transcribe books for them. Once these orders are completed, I will be able to raise the initial funds. Bai Yingtian had no way to debate with his mother, so he could only tell his mother about his original plan, not only to persuade the Qian family, but also to persuade himself.

"Copying books? Are you going to copy books again? Do you want your eyes anymore? Now that there is no shortage of money you spent at home, how can you copy books again? I'm asking you not to open that kind of school, I'm not forcing you to make money! Hearing that his son was actually preparing to copy books for the bookstore again, Qian couldn't help but feel distressed again.

One year ago, because of the family's financial constraints, and Master Bai's pharmacy had no income, Bai Yingtian went to school during the day, and secretly went home to copy books at night, and gave the money to the Qian family to subsidize the family. For this reason, my eyes were red for a long time.

Now that the situation of the Bai family has improved a lot, where is the Qian family willing to let their son suffer again?

"The family spends a lot of money, I can't share my parents' worries, where can I use my parents' money again? Besides, the opening hall is not expensive, it is something I have to do myself, and I can't use my family's money. Bai Yingtian said very resolutely.

Opening the school hall has always been his wish, and in order to achieve his wish, he has already had various plans. Taking orders to copy books for major bookstores is only the first step in his plan. He still has a lot of ideas in the future, he knows that this process will be very hard, but no matter how hard it is, he will definitely persevere! (To be continued......)
