There was a crowd of curious people at the door of Gu Yuan's house, and he asked Gu Changning seriously as if the heads of the group of people did not exist.

"I ...... My brother suddenly told A-Niang in the afternoon that he was not going to school anymore and wanted to go out to find a job to supplement the family. Gu Changning listened to Gu Yuan's words, first smoothed out, and then said, "My aunt was very angry when she heard it, she reprimanded her brother, and told him not to think about these things, just go to school with peace of mind." ”

From the moment Gu Changning began to cry to Gu Yuan, all the people stopped talking, staring at Gu Changning with unblinking eyes, and listened to her describe the matter with a very focused expression.

Even the villagers, who stood behind the crowd and couldn't see the situation in the courtyard, couldn't help but raise their toes, and tried to see the situation inside through the sea of people, and even pricked up their ears to listen.

Gu Changning turned his back to everyone, not knowing what the situation was behind, but he had to pretend to be panicked.

So she wiped her tears and continued: "My brother refuses, it is reasonable to say that he is the only male in the family now, and he should take care of A-Niang and me, how can he still let A-Niang and his sister support the family, but he doesn't care about anything and reads the book of sages, isn't it upside down?" So he decided to give up his studies and go out on an errand. ”

As soon as Gu Changning's voice fell, there were immediately villagers/Thinking of the rumors during this time, he couldn't help nodding, feeling that what Gu Huai'an said was right, he was the only male and eldest son, and he should take care of the family on behalf of Daddy.

“…… But who knows, Ah Niang was even more furious after hearing this, and scolded her brother loudly, Ah Niang said that she is not dead now, why do you need him to support her family now? Gu Changning's voice was particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.

"A-Niang also took my fourth uncle as an example, saying that the fourth uncle was also sent to the school by Grandma back then, and he was twenty years old before he found a job in the town to find a job for Mr. Accounts, my brother is twelve years old this year, and the family can still hold on, there is no shortage of food or clothing, and he does not need to go out to find an errand now."

"This ......" Gu Yuan frowned as he listened, feeling that this matter was a little tricky.

Although Xinghua Village is very large, the villagers are scattered in all corners, and the families are not so dense with each other.

But because the village is not as good as the town, there is no pastime in Suri, so it is good to talk about the parents.

It's only been a few days, and the rumors about Gu Huai'an have gone around the entire village, and those who should know and those who shouldn't know are also known, and the rumors are very widespread.

As the patriarch, Gu Yuan would come to him for judgment if there was any small friction between the clansmen in the past, so naturally he heard the rumors that had been spreading for a long time.

Originally, he thought that this child was too ignorant, filial piety came first, and the matter of reading could be slowed down later, and his aunt's illness was even more important.

Not to mention that filial piety is also a checkpoint for assessing students, if you can't pass this level and your reputation is stinky, then the road to the imperial examination will be even more hopeless.

However, now listening to Gu Changning's words, it seems that Yang Huiyun does not allow it, it is not that Gu Huaian is unwilling, and Gu Yuan doesn't know what to say.

"My brother later knelt down and begged Ah Niang to let him go out and find a job, otherwise, the accusations in the village would pierce his backbone, and Ah Niang knew what was going on outside, and he was so angry that he almost fainted." Gu Changning sniffed and said, "Auntie said that she and my father have worked hard for him to study for so many years, and he said to give up if he gives up, regardless of her and my father's hard work, this is really unfilial piety." ”

"My brother has no choice, my aunt didn't agree with him to go out to find a job, and my brother didn't dare to agree to go to school anymore, so things have been deadlocked, and then my aunt moved out of Daddy's tablet, and took out a bamboo pole and said to my brother that if he didn't agree to go back to study, he would be killed in front of my father's tablet."

"A-Niang's expression was very scary when she said this, it didn't look like she was telling a lie, Uncle Patriarch, save my brother, it's too late for my A-Niang to beat him to death!"

When the onlookers heard this, they were immediately surprised, and they all exchanged ears, and the sound of discussion spread out like a water circle.

"This Gu Shan lady is really unclear, can Brother An'er study be more important than his body? Besides, it's not that I won't let him read it in the future, let him delay it for a year or two, and when the situation at home is better and her health is better, it's not too late to let Brother An continue to read. An aunt of the Gu family frowned in confusion.

"Isn't it, she wants her son to be an official, she wants to be crazy, in order to let her son study, she doesn't even want her life?" The other aunt looked down on Yang Huiyun's behavior very much, and said with disdain.

"Hey, poor parents, who doesn't want their children to have a bright future in the future, but it's really undesirable for her to do this...... "An old man shook his head and sighed when he heard this.

Gu Changning listened to the discussion in his ears, lowered his eyes, and didn't say a word.

She knew why these people felt that her aunt's behavior was wrong, and they also felt that her brother was unfilial, just because they all believed that their aunt was "seriously ill".

It is rumored that her aunt refused to take medicine in order to save money, and in most people's cognition, those who took medicine were very seriously ill.

Otherwise, you just have to endure it, and the disease will pass by itself.

Basically, all the farmers do this, as long as the illness is not serious enough to the point of dying of breath, they will easily not take medicine.

Therefore, when they learned that Yang Huiyun would rather endure it herself than spend the silver taels used by Gu Huai'an to study, everyone thought that she was crazy.

And Yang Huiyun's behavior of enduring the pain rather than buying medicine is even more incomprehensible.

After all, Yang Huiyun's embroidery is well known in the village, and she is the best embroiderer.

As long as she still has a breath of air, she can do embroidery work and sell it for silver, why can't she let Gu Huaian continue to go to school in the future?

So everyone really couldn't figure it out, and finally attributed the reason to Gu Huai'an, it was his own unwillingness to go out to find a job, which caused Yang Huiyun to have to save money for medicine.

At this moment, the villagers listened to Gu Changning's words, and in the long sighs and very puzzled shaking of the heads, there were also villagers who had fast brains reacting, and said in surprise: "Gu Shan's lady is holding a bamboo pole and wants to beat Gu Huai'an?" Didn't she say she couldn't get up when she was sick? How can you still go to the ground? ”

As soon as these words came out, the villagers who were still shaking their heads also realized something, and they all looked sideways at Gu Changning in the courtyard, full of doubts.

"My aunt can't get up when she is sick?" Gu Changning still had tears on his eyelashes, and when he heard this, he asked even more puzzled than these villagers, "When did my aunt get sick and couldn't get up?" She's been doing well, and she's still preparing a little dress for her brother during this time. ”

Yang Huiyun is not sick?

The villagers were amazed.

Gu Yuan listened to everyone's discussion, his brows furrowed, he pondered in place for a moment, waved his big hand, and said, "Let's go, Changning, Uncle go to your house to see what is going on." ”

That's what Gu Changning was waiting for!

She hurriedly followed behind Gu Yuan and went to her house.

And the villagers who were blocking the door, seeing this, all retreated to both sides, making way for Gu Yuan.

After he went out, some villagers who wanted to see the excitement followed him and went to Gu Changning's house.

After Gu Changning ran to Gu Yuan to do a scene, Yang Huiyun held the table with one hand and the bamboo pole with the other, looking at Gu Shan's tablet on the table in the middle of the main hall in a quiet daze.

Gu Huai'an was kneeling in front of the tablet, bowing his head and not saying a word, but his body was quite straight, and he had a trace of unyielding momentum.

There are already many villagers gathered at the gate to see the excitement.

Because the main hall is separated from the entrance by a courtyard, the villagers standing at the door can clearly see the situation inside even if they do not enter.

Everyone was blocked at the door, and no one refused to be the first to enter, so they stretched their necks and kept looking.

Yang Huiyun looked at Gu Shan's tablet for a while, then turned to face Gu Huai'an, and asked in a calm voice: "I'll ask you again, are you willing to go to the academy tomorrow?" ”

Gu Huai'an knelt silently in front of Daddy's tablet, silent, but his back did not move at all, in order to show his determination.

The villagers who watched this scene outside the door were puzzled, and someone said directly: "Didn't you say that Yang Huiyun was sick and couldn't get out of bed?" Why does it look like his face is quite ruddy, and he doesn't look like a patient at all. ”

Shouldn't a seriously ill person be pale and sick?

But they saw that Yang Huiyun's complexion was very good, and she still had the strength to pinch the bamboo pole to teach Gu Huai'an a lesson, and it didn't look like she was in poor health at all.

"Who knows, maybe I have been lying at home for a few days and I am cured?" Another villager replied casually.

"What kind of serious illness can heal so quickly?" Hearing this, someone couldn't help but roll their eyes and said.

"It's strange to say that......" the crowd whispered.

The voice was not loud, and Yang Huiyun didn't frown when she came into the house, she only stared at her son tightly, and said again: "I want you to promise me in front of your father today that you will study hard in school in the future, and you won't have any thoughts of going out to find a job!" ”

Gu Huai'an still pursed his lips, straightened his back, and knelt in place without moving.

"You!" Yang Huiyun saw that he looked unwilling to compromise, and suddenly became angry, raised the bamboo pole in his hand and was about to pump it on him.

"Ouch, Hui Yun, what are you doing here? What did the child do wrong, you just say it, why did you still hit it? Aunt Fu, who was the most warm-hearted in the village, was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and hurried forward to stop her.

Yang Huiyun didn't really want to fight, and when she saw Aunt Fu coming out to stop her, she also stopped, but she still made an angry look, and said fiercely: "Aunt Fu, you don't know, this kid suddenly told me today that he wanted to go out and find a job, and he won't read this book!" Yang Huiyun's eyes turned red instantly, and she choked up while wiping her tears, "Listen, what is this called?" Isn't it just that my father and I are frugal enough to go to school so that we can learn to be famous in the future? If you don't read it, you won't read it, how can you be worthy of his dead daddy! ”
