Heaven is ruthless and lives to death

Chapter 9, Money

Not long after Xiao'er went out, Jiang took Guo'er to the west of the city under the urging of Sister Hua. After a long time, he returned. It's just that Guo'er lowered his head, but Jiang sighed.

Seeing this, Sister Hua hurriedly asked, "Why doesn't Mr. accept it?"

"Mr. took it, but it was just ......" Jiang shook his head helplessly.

"Mom, I'm not going on. It's useless to want girls to go to school. Leave the money to your brother to sign up. Guo'er said cautiously. But the disappointment in his eyes can be seen by anyone.

Sister Hua quickly understood, "If it's just a matter of money, I can help." ”

"This matter must not bother the eldest sister anymore. I'll think about it again......" Jiang finished and went into the inner room.

Sister Hua turned to Guo'er and asked, "Is Guo'er really not going to go to school?"

"I want to. It's just that then Mom will be very embarrassed. Guo'er replied earnestly.

"It's good to think about it. Don't worry about the fruit. It's on my godmother. I'll go talk to your mother first. Then Guo'er, who was a little nervous, also walked to the inner room, "Don't you really plan to let Guo'er go to school?"

"How could I be willing to miss Guo'er's future? It's just this, hey, just blame me for being useless as a mother......" Jiang sighed.

"Since you know that it is Guo'er's future, how can you let Guo'er miss the opportunity to go to school for the sake of your little self-esteem. And I'm also Guo'er's godmother, giving me my goddaughter, it's nothing to pay some tuition. ”

"Sister, you don't know. How could I let Guo'er miss the opportunity to go to school for the sake of my own little self-esteem. It's just that I also talked to Mr. Na Cheng. Sir did subtract a lot of expenses for us, but that would still cost six taels of silver a year. Coupled with some other expenses, it will cost more than eight taels per year. ”

"Eight taels is more...... Sister Hua said in a deep voice. Her annual income is only more than 20 taels, and she can only have about 10 taels left every year if she counts consumption, and this time she will go to more than 8 taels, and she will also retreat, "Is this school made of gold, why is it so expensive? Why don't we change schools? I heard that there is a school in the east of the city, and the fees are only about one or two a year." ”

"Sister, you misunderstood. I've inquired too. In the Holy Son Academy, there are always some students who are admitted every year who are officials. Moreover, Mr. Chen is a woman, and she will not be deceived wherever she wants to go. ”

"Female?" said Sister Hua in surprise.

"Yes, a woman. I heard her say that she used to be an official in Beijing, and she said that she was an envoy, but she couldn't bear the atmosphere of the court and retreated and opened a school here. And I also inquired, where ordinary people study, the tuition fee for a year is also twenty taels, which has saved us a lot. Moreover, the environment is very good, and most of the teachers are officials who have retired from the DPRK or are well-known talents in the vicinity. If not, Mr. Gu would not recommend it to us. ”

"It's a good place, but it's not something you and I can afford. Otherwise, let's settle for the next best thing and find another school for Guo'er to go to. ”

"No, big sister. I decided, either I don't want it, or if I want to go up, I will let the fruit be the best. Only in this way can the fruit be productive. Eldest sister, you may not know that Mr. Cheng also praised Guo'er, saying that she is a rare good seedling, and she must not be buried. ”

"Then it's up to you, we're tight, and we can still afford it. ”

"Thank you, eldest sister, but I really can't let my eldest sister out of this money. You've taken in our mother, and I can't let you pay this anymore. I also thought about it just now, during the day, the eldest sister here can be busy by herself, but I can't help too much here. Otherwise, I will help my eldest sister make steamed buns first when I get up early, and then I will look for a job during the day, there will always be a way. ”

Sister Hua pondered: "That's fine, it's just that my sister doesn't have to help me anymore when she gets up early, she works two jobs a day, and after a long time, you won't be able to stand it." ”

"Sister doesn't have to do this, I'm used to it, I will be uncomfortable if I don't do anything in the morning. ”

"Well, that's up to my sister. It's just that if you are really short of money, you can talk to your sister. If you don't dare more, you can still take it out with less. ”

"Then my sister thanked my sister first. Tomorrow, I'll go look for a job first. The sisters smiled at each other, and then went out of the inner room, telling Guo'er that if her mother found a job tomorrow, she would take Guo'er to school in a few days. Although Guo'er didn't know what they had talked about, she knew that her mother had finally decided to let herself go to school, and she was happy and continued to scrub the table.

At noon, Xiao'er came back from outside the city. After washing his hands, Jiang handed him a bowl of noodle soup: "What did Mr. teach you today?"

"It's nothing, it's just telling me a story. Then he asked me where I grew up and what I did on a daily basis. Then something suddenly occurred to him, and he continued: "That's right. Grandpa Whitebeard made me hit a tree today. ”

"Hitting a tree?"

"Yes. Xiao'er hit it hard today. It's just that it hasn't broke, and it hurts me to death. Then he muttered to himself why he had broken all of it yesterday.

"Where does the smile hurt?" Jiang Shi nervously held the smile and checked.

"No, Xiao'er didn't get hurt. Even the white-bearded old man said that Xiao'er is copper-skinned and iron-clad, and it can't be hurt. Then he said to his mother: "Mother, don't hold on to Xiao'er, Xiao'er is hungry." ”

Jiang didn't see any injuries on Xiao'er's body, so he let go. Then he looked at Xiao'er and said, "If you feel any pain, your mother will rub it for you at night." ”

"Hmm. Then he hugged the bowl and ate it in one gulp.

Jiang Shi looked at Xiao'er like this, smiled, thinking that he was really too nervous and laughing, and then went to get busy again.

On the second day, Jiang got up early and went into the kitchen to get busy with the day's homework. After dawn, after cooking, the children were aroused again, and after watching the children eat, they discussed with Sister Hua where to find a job today. When Xiao'er left with two more meat buns, she told Guo'er to help her godmother work and look for a job on the street.

I wandered around the city for a long time, but I couldn't find a suitable job. But I was teased by some bastards, what kind of job do beauties go to find, marry me, and I will raise you all kinds of ......

It was easy to escape, but I found myself in front of a house. In front of the door, many young women and women were crowding and talking something. She figured it was okay to go now, anyway, so she squeezed in. I just didn't want the door to open at this time, and a group of people went in, and she was squeezed in alive.

When they came to the courtyard, a woman said to them, "In a few moments, you will divide into several groups and go with me to see Madame, and Madame will choose your identity, remember your identity, and don't be rude in front of Madame." ”

The woman looked at these people and said, "Now that we are all quiet, we will start to divide." ”
