Chapter 353: Because of You (Plus Change)
That day, Mother Ye ran after Ye Xun all over the yard with a tree strip, and Father Ye waved his hand, "If you don't learn, you won't learn, just be able to count, follow me to do business in the future, and you won't die of hunger."
Mother Ye sighed, but after all, she still couldn't do anything about her son.
Finally, he didn't have to sit in a boring class and nap, Ye Xun was very happy.
But Jiang Fu showed an extremely disapproving look.
Ye Xun crossed his waist and asked her when no one was around, "Do you want me to be tied up in those places and have no time to fight against you at home?"
Jiang Fu was stunned, "No."
"And what was the look on your face?"
Jiang Fu opened his mouth, and finally sighed and said, "It's okay, I'll tell you later."
Seeing that Jiang Fu was unwilling to say, Ye Xun snorted coldly and left directly.
What, if you like to talk about it or not, he doesn't want to listen to it.
Jiang Fu's words were said two years later.
On the day of the Qingming Festival, after the two worshiped their deceased relatives, on the way back, Jiang Fu said to him:
"Ah Xun, if you want to trample the evil and injustice of this world under your feet, you must stand on a high place, strengthen yourself, and make the rules of this world, instead of following the rules set by others.
Ah Xun, let's go back to school."
At that time, Ye Xun had already lost his innocence, wrapped in coarse cloth and old clothes, his expression was numb, and his eyes were chaotic.
He stared at the desolation in the distance and said to Jiang Fu, "However, our family doesn't even have the money to buy rice. How can I pay for it?"
At this time, Ye Xun was really remorseful, if he could have studied and read well, maybe he would have been able to help his father look at the list, so that he would not be harmed by others, and he would still be burdened with a well-deserved notoriety.
Yes, Ye's father died, and died tragically in prison after being tortured.
Ye Mu also died, and in order to prove her innocence, she crashed into the hall and died on the spot, with one body and two lives.
In today's Ye Shilang family, except for a grandma Ye who is holding on to a breath, there are only two children left.
Ye Xun thought Jiang Fu was joking, but a few days later, she actually ran back happily and told him that he could go to the private school in the town to study.
Jiang Fu changed him into clothes without patches, took out the bookbag that he didn't know when he had been ready, and took him to the school where he had stayed for two months.
The teacher rubbed his beard and said to him, "Your cousin is so sincere, I will give you another month, and if you are still as stubborn as before, pack up your things and go home."
At that time, Ye Xun knew that Jiang Fu was outside the private school and knelt on the ground to beg the teacher for three days.
Unrestrained, she worked in the school, and rushed from the village with herself before dawn to be busy, until she cooked food for the teacher's family at night and boiled water before she could go back.
Ye Xun had to wait for her every time, and the two small figures shuttled back and forth between the morning and the night.
That winter, it was very cold.
That winter, my grandmother also went.
The morning after the funeral, Jiang Fu fell into the snow, her weak body was overwhelmed, and she fell ill.
That time, Ye Xun carried her on his back and found that she was so light!
It turned out that every time Shi Niang gave her food, she kept all the food for herself, not half of one person.
She lied to herself.
That day, Ye Xun didn't go to the school, he went to the gambling house and won two taels of silver on the gambling table with two copper plates.
After that, he no longer let Jiang Fu go to the school, he said that he was helping people copy books to earn money, bundles, living expenses, paper, pen, books and ink, all the things he won back from the gambling table.
Others rely on luck to gamble, but he relies on his brain, hearing and eyesight.
The owner of the gambling house put the knife on Ye Xun's neck and asked him, "Why is it so accurate?"
Ye Xun smiled, "Carving insect skills. Master Tiger, do you want to play big?"
Not long after, Ye Xun followed the tiger master into the city, and several people went to the four wealth shops and won more than 100 taels of silver.
Ye Xun got half of it, and he bought a golden hairpin and two brightly colored satins.
He happily went back with his things, but instead of Jiang Fu's smiling face and joy, he was greeted by Jing Tiao and tears of disappointment.
This is the second time Jiang Fu has shed tears.
And the first time was on the day of my parents' burial.
Ye Xun never wanted to make her sad, he just wanted to give her the best in the world.
Yes, the best.
Ye Xun said, "I didn't steal or rob, I relied on my ability."
Jiang Fu was surprised and disappointed.
She threw the golden hairpin into the mud and said to Ye Xun, "The golden stone can still be washed away if it is stained with dirt, but if a person is infected with a bad habit, how can he get rid of it?
Ah Xun, do you think that your heart is as strong as a golden stone, not to be affected, not to be addicted, not to be confused?"
Ye Xun was dumbfounded.
He knelt in front of his parents' tablet to repent and admit his mistake, and he said to Jiang Fu, "I don't want you to be so happy, I want to contribute to this family, I don't want to be the one who is supported. Afu, do you understand?"
Jiang Fu said, "I understand.
Ah Xun, I'm going to go to the town to buy sugar cakes, you can teach me numeracy and literacy."
"Okay."
Ye Xun found that Jiang Fu was particularly talented in academics, and he could understand many things as soon as he heard them and taught them.
So far, he has worked harder and harder, and has studied carefully.
Soon, the teacher couldn't teach him anymore, and he went to the only academy in the town, where he became the youngest student in Class A.
At that time, Jiang Fu would come to him from time to time after buying sugar cakes and send him clothes and rice.
Looking at Jiang Fu, whose facial features were gradually growing, his classmate said to Ye Xun, "Your cousin is here again."
Ye Xun would correct it every time, "That's not my cousin."
"Ah, cousin? Looks a little older than you!"
"It's not a cousin either."
"What's that?"
Ye Xun's face turned red, "Anyway, it's not, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
When my grandmother passed away, she held their hands and said that they would support each other and spend their lives.
Ye Xun thinks that if you are one year older, you should be one year older.
The classmate was driven away by Ye Xun.
Jiang Fu saw that he was puffing up, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xun didn't dare to look at her, "It's nothing. Ah Fu, how about I try it this year? Let's take the test first, you do business, and support you."
Jiang Fu's business is doing well, and he is already planning to rent a storefront.
Ye Xun thought that it would be a lot of inconvenience for her to show up outside a girl's house.
But if there is a Xiucai fiancé, it is different.
Jiang Fu was naturally happy, although Ye Xun said that he didn't have to care, a talent would come with his hand, but she still got up early and was busy at night to create a better learning environment for him.
Before entering the examination institute, Jiang Fu checked the book basket for him and cheered him on.
Ye Xun smiled lightly, "Wait for me."
When he became a showman, he proposed to her, stop claiming that you are my cousin, and your fiancé will be your fiancé, so what's embarrassing.
As a result, he failed the county exam, not even a child.
