"Third brother, think about it, our family has two people who are Wenlu studying, the year before last the writer was admitted to Tongsheng, you also know, now in the town to continue to study, this has to test Xiucai, what books, what bindings, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone a year is almost five taels of silver, not to mention our Wenlu, who was also admitted to Tongsheng last year, this time the two of them have such a big expense, just by virtue of their study, it will cost almost ten taels of silver a year."

Qiao Laiqian remembered the hard days of the past few years, sighed and said: "Third brother, even if you give ten taels of silver, the money for the writer Wenlu to study is not enough, not to mention that the family still needs food and clothing...... We're getting worse and worse at this time. ”

"Third brother, you go home, your father and mother will cook you something delicious, you come back with something, come back with money, your father and mother will always treat you well, but usually we don't eat so well...... Sometimes I wonder if there are so many people in my family to study, but you also know my father's temper, he would rather suffer himself than have future generations, be able to get famous, get ahead, in order to support two people to study, the family has become poorer and poorer. ”

Qiao Laiqian said with a depressed face, listening to it really sincerely, not like a lie.

And what Qiao Laiqian said is indeed true, for two children to study, it is not something that ordinary families can afford, many people's families, for one person, it is a family who tightens their pants and lives a hard life, not to mention two people, the old Qiao family's life has become difficult, it is an obvious thing.

Qiao Xiaowan listened, her eyes flashed.

Qiao Laiqian said the truth.

In his previous life, there were some poor families, and their elder brother was studying, and their younger sister dropped out of school, or their younger brother was studying, and their sister dropped out of school to work to support them, because they were poor and couldn't afford to support two people to study...... Not to mention the ancient times that were poorer than modern times, Lao Qiao's family was one of the richest families in Changhe Village, and if one of them had a good life, two of them...... It will indeed be poor.

No wonder Qiao Laiqian and Wang Xiaoniang are eating so much.

It seems that the milk is really saved.

Qiao Laide's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt, not to mention whether the second brother came to take advantage, but the two nephews read the books, he didn't help at all, he only knew that he gave ten taels of silver a year, and the family must have a good life, but he didn't want the two children to study, what kind of pressure did this put on the old Qiao family.

As for himself, ten taels of silver are now nothing more than money like sand in the cracks of his fingers.

"Then why don't you say it?" Jo Lai De asked.

Qiao Laiqian glanced at Qiao Simei, with a complicated gaze: "Third brother, in fact, it's not that my father and mother are ruthless to my little sister, it's just that there are so many people at home who are studying, and I really don't have any spare energy to help anything, my father feels guilty, and you also know that my mother is a confused brain, when we know that my little sister has been taken care of by you, so I don't want to talk about some things." ”

When the main family was divided, he said that he would give so much money a year, and now the third brother has given ten taels, if you still care, the third brother will not even give these ten taels, then it is their Qiao family who suffers.

They're separated!

Except for the third brother who should be supported, the deed is written, and it will not be good to go to the government.

Although Qiao Laiqian wanted to take advantage of it, he also knew that the third brother was no longer the third brother he was at the beginning, and the current third brother had seen the world, and he was not the kind of filial son who could handle it casually.
