After dinner, the old lady called Lu Changqing, Uncle Lu and Xu into her room.

Lu Changqing didn't know what the old lady was going to do.

Xu was a little cramped.

She was a little constrained by her mother-in-law on the one hand.

"What's the matter with my mother calling us?"

Lu Zhan was still so arrogant, and he didn't have any small thoughts in his heart.

Belongs to a person whose mind is definitely not delicate.

I didn't notice the old lady's absent-mindedness at all.

Mrs. Lu looked at her son below, then at Xu, and then at her grandson.

The eldest son has been like this for the rest of his life, and it is impossible for him to be honest and honest.

The second son has never looked back, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

The only thing left in this family is the grandson.

In the past, she didn't worry about this grandson, mainly because the grandson was very ambitious.

The old lady was afraid that her grandson would completely toss this family foundation.

But now she can see that this kid has really changed a lot.

The old lady silently opened her kang cabinet and took out a small red cloth bag from it.

Open the red cloth layer by layer.

A bracelet inside was revealed.

The bracelet turned out to be a jade bracelet.

Lu Changqing glanced at the bracelet.

Although it looks transparent, you can see faint impurities in the bracelet, and the quality is not too good, but it is probably the most expensive property in this family.

"Boss, don't go to the ground tomorrow, you take Changqing with this bracelet and go to the county town to take this bracelet as a pawn."

The old lady pushed the red cloth bag in front of Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan was startled and hurriedly knelt down.

"Mother, what are you doing here? There is food and drink at home, you can rest assured, I will work hard in the future, and I will definitely let the family have a full stomach. ”

Instinctively, I felt that I didn't take care of this family well, so I asked my mother to take out her own family resources.

Once this bracelet is pawned, it is not easy to redeem it again.

"Boss, hurry up, you listen to your mother's words."

Lu Zhan stood up at this time and sat on the edge of the kang with a wilt.

Lu Changqing is not a fool.

I understood it all at once.

"Grandmother, don't be like this, although the grandson wants to go to school, but the grandson definitely doesn't want the grandmother to provide the grandson with a school like this. I can read and want to study, but I will earn money and study on my own by my own ability.

Grandmother, this time, don't worry, I'm down-to-earth and aware of my situation. You also know the situation of our family, if you farm like this for the rest of your life, this is the end, even if it is to your grandson, it is just like the uncle. It's a blessing to be able to mix a half-full stomach.

My grandson doesn't want to do this, I want to study not only to get ahead, even if I can take the exam to show off, at least let our family pay less taxes. In that way, everyone in the family can be fed, and there is some surplus money, if we don't save some rich silver, when the sisters and sisters get married in the future, we can't even get the dowry, that's the real joke.

As the man of this family, if I hadn't thought about these things earlier, I would have felt that I had been a man in vain. ”

Lu Changqing's words shocked Lu Zhan and Xu at once.

They really didn't expect this kid to think so long-term.

What is especially rare is that the family is surrounded by four walls, although their family is not the worst in the village.

But the conditions at home are really not good.

If you want to support a scholar, even if you want to do it with your family, you can't do it.

But this child said it himself, and it was too difficult to rely on his own ability to study.

The strength of a family cannot support a scholar, let alone rely on Lu Changqing himself.

Lu Zhan gave himself a hard slap.

The loud sound made everyone's eyes fall on him.

"It's all useless uncle, it's all useless to me, if I can have some ability. Why is it that the family is living in this situation, why can't even a scholar be raised? ”

He had seen the days at Old Man Lu's house.

What are the lives of his three half-brothers?

All day long, they only have to concentrate on studying, they don't have to take care of any housework at home, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, even if the fabric used to make clothes on their bodies is much better than theirs.

Mr. Lu not only has 200 acres of land, but also has five or six shops in the county, and the rent collected by the shops for one year alone is enough to support his three sons to study.

Lu Zhan blamed himself, but he couldn't even afford a child.

It's not a gap.

My father is a human being, and he is also a human being.

It's not that I'm incompetent.

Lu Changqing sighed, he didn't come to cause trouble and guilt to others.

"Uncle, don't do this, I'm not saying this to humiliate you. I'm talking about the facts, the current situation of our family. These 20 acres of land can make us full, which is already God's eye-opening.

There is no other income, and it is even more difficult to support a scholar just by relying on the income from the field.

I've been thinking about picking herbs lately. I was confident that I could earn money for my own education.

Uncle, since I am the only boy in this family, I should think about how to support this family. I'll work with you. ”

Lu Changqing really didn't want his family to be messed up by himself because of this.

Lu Zhanwang's eyes were moist, and Lu Changqing could say this, which was really heartwarming.

"Alright, boss, look what you look like, you're still an elder. Changqing, don't say those words, rely on your herbs. Even if you work for a few years, you may not be able to save much money!

Grandmother can't help with anything else, and she doesn't have the ability to help you when she's old. This bracelet is my grandmother's last family member, and I originally wanted to keep it for you to marry in the future.

But since you have such ideas now, my grandmother thinks that men should be self-reliant. You want to do something, then Grandma doesn't want to stop you. You are a good man of our Lu family, so let this bracelet be used to the fullest.

My grandmother had never done anything big in her life, and she was the only one who could handle it. It is to protect your father and your uncle to grow up steadily, start a family, and have you. I never thought about what the Lu family would become, but my grandmother listened to your words and felt that maybe from your generation, our Lu family would be different.

Like you said, let's not expect anything else, grandmother didn't dare to think about how big an official you would be in the future. But as long as you come back after a hard work, once our family's taxes are reduced, it will be much easier for the family to live a better life.

When the time comes, it will be easy for your sisters and sisters to buy a dowry for marriage. Just because you can have this idea and thought, my grandmother thinks that this bracelet is worth it. ”

The family does not speak.

When it comes to this, who doesn't understand? The old lady had made up her mind.

Even if Lu Zhan was in a hurry, what could he do.

No silver can be turned out of the ground.
