Chapter Twenty-Three: Finding Yourself and Being Beaten

Su Jin's face tightened, and he immediately pushed the door in.

I saw that in the corner of the courtyard, Qin Yu protected his younger brothers and sisters behind him, and his eyes stared coldly at the man in front of him.

The man was not tall, but he was fat, and his right hand was raised high, looking like he was going to beat Qin Yu.

This man is none other than Qin Laibao, the youngest son of the Qin family.

Before the man's hand fell on Qin Yu, Su Jin picked up the big wooden stick used to bolt the door next to him and hit him.

"Bastard!"

"Bully the child while the old lady is not at home!"

"Believe it or not, the old lady beat you out!"

Su Jin scolded while beating.

The arm-thick wooden stick hit the man's body with a "thump" sound.

When the children saw Su Jin coming back, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know when Su Jin became the protector in the hearts of the children.

"Oops, stop fighting, stop fighting!" Qin Laibao was beaten and dodged in all directions.

"The old lady is biased!"

"If you find yourself and get beaten, then take it for me!"

Su Jin chased after Qin Laibao to fight.

When the beating was almost over, Su Jin kicked over again, and the man was directly kicked to the ground.

Qin Laibao, who was lying on the ground, had not yet come to his senses, only felt that the back of his head was pressed hard.

The next moment, he smashed his whole face to the ground and smashed directly into the mud.

His mouth, nose, and eyes were all covered with mud, and Qin Laibao had a feeling of being out of breath.

"Next time you dare to come to my house to bully a child, I will bury you alive!"

After Su Jin finished speaking, he dragged the person to the gate of the courtyard like a dead dog, and finally threw it out.

After closing the courtyard door, Su Jin led the children back to the house.

I thought that this Qin Laibao simply came to ask for money, but after listening to Qin Yu's words, I realized that things were not simple.

"Qin Laibao said that the wild ginseng you sold is his, let us give him the money from selling ginseng."

The more Qin Yu said, the more ugly his face became.

The ginseng was clearly dug up by him from the back mountain.

"That dead fat pig just wants to take our money to himself!" Qin Zhichu said angrily, "I want to scold his ancestors for eighteen generations." ”

"Ah Chu, Sven!" Su Jin reminded.

"Maybe the fifth uncle really has mountain ginseng, but he lost it, so he misunderstood us......" Qin Yuan said weakly.

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Qin Zhichu poked Qin Yuan's forehead angrily.

"Are you stupid?"

"Do you believe what the bastard said?"

"What mountain ginseng is his, it's just to rob us of our money!"

Qin Yuan was scolded and shrunk his neck.

"Alright, alright." Su Jin comforted, "Don't be angry!" ”

"Regardless of whether Qin Laibao has wild ginseng or not, anyway, our wild ginseng is dug by himself, and it has nothing to do with him."

"Besides, Dr. Zhu also saw it at that time, and he can testify to us!"

Compared with the children's resentment, Su Jin was very calm.

Fake can't be real, real can't be fake!

As long as you have a clear conscience, no one can do anything to her!

Seeing that the children were still depressed, Su Jin took out the candy and pastries she bought.

In the end, it was a child, who ate sweet snacks and quickly left the unhappiness just now.

The children ate, and Su Jin counted the money next to them.

Sixty wen of wooden hairpin and comb grate money, plus twenty wen of rag money and ten wen of pigskin money, the cost is a total of ninety wen.

And her headdress is twenty wen, and a total of nine hundred and seventy-six wen are sold today.

In this way, I made a net profit of 886 Wen!

In the village, young and strong laborers earn seventy or eighty dollars a day.

Su Jin earned enough to earn ten days and half a month's wages.

But Rao is like this, Su Jin still feels that there is not enough.

Now she has a lot of money to spend.

For example, the old house needs to be renovated, and several children should go to school.

But reading books is expensive!

A child's beam of light costs a few taels of silver, not counting the money for the four treasures of the study and various books.

If you have three children together, that's a huge expense!

Ay!

No wonder modern people say that raising children is tiring!

Su Jin really experienced it this time!

It is easy to feed children, but it is extremely difficult to cultivate talents!

Su Jin counted the money in his hand now, plus the rest of the wild ginseng, which was about thirteen taels.

Thirteen taels of silver can't afford to let three children go to school together.

But if there is only one, it is possible.

Su Jin glanced at Qin Yu, who was about to give his candy to his younger brothers and sisters, and asked, "Ah Yu, do you want to study?" ”

"Let's go"!

The candy in Qin Yu's hand fell directly on the table, and he said in surprise: "Read...... Study? ”

Even Qin Zhichu and Qin Yuan stopped their mouths and looked at Su Jin in disbelief.

"Stepmother, do you want to send your eldest brother to study?" Qin Zhichu swallowed the pastry in his mouth and asked excitedly.

"Hmm!" Su Jin nodded.

"Big brother, my stepmother wants to send you to study!" Qin Zhichu said excitedly.

She knows that her eldest brother has always had a dream of studying!

In the past, when they followed their father at the border, his father would ask Mr. Jiaoshu to come to the house to teach the eldest brother to read and write.

Later, when he returned to the capital, his father told his eldest brother that he would send his eldest brother to study at the academy after he finished the war.

But then my dad was gone.

The brothers and sisters have even become a problem for their livelihoods, let alone the luxury of studying!

Seeing that the children were happy, Su Jin said again: "Now our family's savings are not much, so we can only provide for your eldest brother to study first." ”

"When I earn more in the future, I'll let you and Ah Yuan go to study too."

In this era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", regardless of men and women, only after reading can there be a better way out.

Qin Zhichu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Stepmother, I don't have to study!" ”

"I'll help you work at home, you just let the eldest brother and third brother study."

Qin Yuan, who was eating sugar, also said: "Mother, I don't study either, just let your eldest brother study." ”

The stepmother can let the eldest brother study, and the sister and brother are very satisfied.

"That's not going to work!" Su Jin was very persistent, "In our family, everyone has to study. ”

"Especially girls!"

Su Jin looked at Qin Zhichu and said seriously: "Ah Chu, girls can only study more and grow up to be less easily deceived by men!" ”

"Otherwise, if someone else sells you in the future, you will still help others count the money."

The little girl saw that Su Jin was not planning for her own future, and her eyes were slightly red.

Other people's families are patriarchal, but the stepmother is exceptionally good to her.

Not only is she not allowed to do housework, but now she is also allowed to study.

Woo woo woo~

The stepmother is so good!

Qin Zhichu didn't hold back for a moment, and threw himself directly into Su Jin's arms.

"Mother, you are too good to me."

From stepmother to mother, although only one word is missing, it also proves that this child really accepts her.

Su Jin had a relieved smile on her face.

"Okay, what about your eldest brother's study, why are you crying!" Su Jin patted Qin Zhichu's back.

"With a mother like you, I, I'm so happy that I cry!" Qin Zhichu wiped his tears and said.

Qin Yu's reading was so decided.

Next, in addition to making headwear, Su Jin also had one more task, which was to find an academy for Qin Yu.
