According to the rules of Niuqian Village since ancient times, people who died by mistake cannot enter the village, and they must be buried within three days, so Zhao Qingshan's body did not go home, but could only be placed at the entrance of the village.

Li Xiaomei had no money, so she could only ask the village carpenter to help her make the cheapest coffin for five bags of rice, and Zhao Qingshan was buried the next day.

From beginning to end, Zhao Liang didn't notice anything.

just often asked Li Xiaomei, "Where did Dad go?" ”

Li Xiaomei kept crying and replied, "Dad went to a far, far away place, and he won't come back until a long, long time." ”

......

Zhao Qingshan was gone, and all the burdens were on her.

She already knew from the mayor that Zhao Qingshan was killed yesterday, and it was not difficult to guess that Zhao Yan had successfully enrolled in school, so Zhao Yan didn't need to worry about it within a year.

But a year later, Zhao Yan's living expenses will become the biggest problem.

Even if the two of them are frugal, they may not be able to make up enough for Zhao Yan's living expenses for a year, not to mention that she is the only one left now.

In fact, in Zhao Qingshan's plan, it will be delayed for a few more years, so it will be more secure, but Zhao Yan was born early, and now he is eight years old, so he can't delay it any longer, so he has to send Zhao Yan to the academy without being fully sure.

It's not that I haven't thought about pinning my hopes on Zhao Liang, but Zhao Liang is obviously more than a little bit worse than Zhao Yan, so it can only be Zhao Yan.

But after sending it, Zhao Yan's living expenses will be a big problem, and for this reason, Zhao Qingshan has insomnia for a long time.

Now that Zhao Qingshan is gone, she is a weak woman, and she doesn't know how to make so much money.

She thought of borrowing from relatives and friends, but she couldn't guess if she didn't borrow it, and even if she did, it wouldn't be too much, and it was estimated that the living expenses for one year would not be enough, let alone four years.

But the burden of life, she must pick up, after all, there are two children, those two children are the continuation of her husband's life, she must let them grow up, so that her husband's bloodline continues.

She couldn't let her husband's hard work go to waste.

If she can't get Zhao Yan's living expenses for the next four years, then her husband's life's hard work will be in vain.

His husband's lifelong wish is that Zhao Yan will succeed in his studies, and one day he will glorify his ancestors, she must not let Zhao Yan come back because her husband died, she must let Zhao Yan complete five years of study safely.

"At least five years!"

Otherwise, the husband will die in vain, and he will not die blindly.

The belief in my heart is extremely firm, but I haven't thought of any way after thinking about it for a long time.

The burden of life and the grief of her husband's death made Li Xiaomei seem to be ten years old in a few days, and she was less than thirty, with a few more gray hairs on her temples.

......

In the next few days, she used all the methods she came up with:

She looked for Zhao Qingshan's mother, but the mother didn't even come when her son died, let alone her daughter-in-law, and she didn't give a penny directly.

The youngest son, that is, Zhao Qingshan's half-brother, almost didn't beat Li Xiaomei after knowing that this was Zhao Qingshan's wife, but Li Xiaomei ran fast.

She had no choice, she borrowed all the families in the village, and she only borrowed two thousand copper coins, that is, two taels of silver, which was far from enough for Zhao Yan's living expenses for a year.

And this is the first time, the second time, she can't borrow it back.

Of course, no matter how much, she kept in mind the person who borrowed money this time, and Zhao Qingshan always said: You can't owe favors, and if you owe it, you have to pay it back.

Every word Zhao Qingshan said, she remembered in her heart.

So now that she has lent her money, no matter how much, she has kept it in her heart, and if Zhao Yan is really developed in the future, let Zhao Yan pay it back.

It is impossible to get enough money to pay Zhao Yan for living expenses, so Li Xiaomei can only take the three-year-old Zhao Liang and embark on the road of begging.

This road is a helpless move, and Zhao Qingshan has never supported it.

Although Zhao Qingshan is very poor, her ambition is not low, she is a little arrogant in her heart, she disdains to steal, she disdains to beg, but now, for the sake of her son's future and her husband's obsession during his lifetime, she can only choose this path.

Although she didn't know if this road would be enough to raise Zhao Yan's living expenses, she had no choice.

......

Strong copycats.

Li Fuming and Li Qiang were drinking at Li Qiang's house.

"Big brother, I checked that Zhao Qingshan, he sent his eldest son Zhao Yan to the First Academy that day, and he should have met the baby when he came back."

After three rounds of drinking, the two who were already familiar with each other spoke even more without scruples.

"It's also the baby who gave birth to them, and they were unlucky to meet such a disgusting person."

Li Qiang hated Zhao Qingshan in his heart, but he passed by there at that point in time, and let his son meet him, even if he met it, what else would he run? Just run, and still yell...... It's really a little person like a beggar.

He had strictly ordered Li Washeng and the three of them to forget the events of that morning forever, that day the three of them drank wine and fell asleep on the road, Zhao Qingshan saw the wealth and stole their money, which happened to be seen by them, so he chased after him.

Then in that process, they fought, because Zhao Qingshan was armed with a sharp weapon and not weak martial arts, they were defeated and could only escape...... shouted for help while running, but Zhao Qingshan was so frustrated that he actually chased after him.

As soon as they ran to the entrance of the village, they were rescued by Li Qiang, who heard their voice for help, Zhao Qingshan and Li Qiang had a fierce fight, although Zhao Qingshan was fierce, but his martial arts were not as high as Li Qiang, so he accidentally killed Zhao Qingshan in the thrilling fight.

This is the whole process, even Li Fuming, they didn't tell the truth.

Of course, Li Fuming also knew that Li Qiang was not telling the truth, but he could guess by guessing, after all, he was not familiar with Zhao Qingshan, but he was familiar with Li Washeng's personality, so he guessed that it should be Li Washeng and the three of them who robbed, and Zhao Qingshan was the one who escaped.

Zhao Qingshan ran to Qiangshanzhai and was seen by Li Qiang, Li Qiang was afraid that Zhao Qingshan would report to the official, and for the sake of his son's future, he killed Zhao Qingshan and killed him, this is Li Fuming's speculation, although he didn't say it, but he believed that the facts were not far from ten.

"Hehe, yes!" Li Fuming said perfunctorily.

"It's nothing in the First College, there are hundreds of new students in the First College every year, but over the years, there are only a few people who have really achieved something, and those are the children of the rich, but there are no children of the poor.

What's more, Zhao Yan himself is a stupid person, and this kind of person is even more impossible. ”

Li Qiang smiled, and didn't care about Li Fuming's perfunctory.

He was in a good mood now, and he didn't care at all about a child studying in the First Academy, and in his life, he had never seen a poor person who succeeded in counterattacking.

At most, it is a little better than the previous generation, and then the generation is stronger than the next, each generation must be promising, there can be no mistakes, and it is not uncommon for several generations of hard work to succeed.

But a one-time success, he had at least never seen it, and he didn't think that Zhao Yan would succeed just so coincidentally.

Of course, as a cautious person, he still inquired about Zhao Yan, a child, but everyone agreed that Zhao Yan's IQ was not up to the level of his peers, and when he heard the news, he was relieved, it was impossible for such a person to achieve any good results.

So he's in a good mood now.

"Indeed, whether it is tuition fees or living expenses, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, not to mention, martial arts training requires a lot of resources, otherwise it is difficult to achieve anything.

Zhao Qingshan is gone, and Zhao Yan can't hold on for a few years, maybe he will have to drop out of school next year. ”

Li Fuming nodded in agreement, he didn't think that Zhao Yan could have any success, at most he would be a little better off than his father, maybe it was not as good as his father, after all, no matter how poor his father was, he still raised a daughter-in-law, he Zhao Yan may not have this luck.

When he brought it up, he was just talking about that matter, and by the way, as for whether Li Qiang would make any moves, it was none of his business.
