Chapter 375 The Farmer's Widowed Mother Who Was Hurt by the Reborn Girl 12
"Yeah, mom, my little brother and I are really not that kind of material."
"Let's save our family's money for our eldest brother's studies. Mother, we have three scholars, and our family..."
The second brother didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew what was going on.
It takes a lot of effort for the whole family to support one scholar, let alone three. That would require digging eighteen generations of ancestors out of the ground to work.
The eldest son who was supported by the whole family... He pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while, he spoke in a low voice: "Mom, you decide."
"It's a good thing for my brothers to study. I can take on some book copying work."
"No matter what, we will work together as a family."
“Brother… no…”
When they heard that their eldest brother wanted to copy books for them to read, the two brothers immediately became anxious.
My eldest brother is not like them. The family's hopes are pinned on him. Copying books is tiring for the eyes and time. How can my eldest brother have the energy to study?
"You two shut up and listen to me."
It was rare for the eldest brother to show his authority. The more books he read, the more he realized the importance of reading.
It's a good thing that my younger brothers can study, but the situation at home...
What he didn't confess to his mother was that he had actually been secretly taking on copying books for a long time. He had seen how hard his mother had worked over the years, so how could he bear to do that? He thought any way he could to help out would be good.
"Okay, Mom said you should go to school, but she didn't say you should take the imperial examination like your elder brother."
"Also, Boss, you don't need to copy books, just read your books carefully."
"Mother has some silver, left by your grandparents."
Seeing these kids and brothers working together warms my heart so much.
As for the money, she naturally made a fuss about the fact that there was no evidence, and she had the final say.
The whole story was that when the old couple were young, they encountered a group of bandits who were surrounded by government soldiers.
After shaking off the officers and soldiers, the bandits were dying. However, the old couple was very brave and took away the gold, silver and jewelry from them while they were unconscious.
The old couple didn't dare to spend the money at that time, so they handed it to her when they were dying.
The reason why I have been hiding until today is because I am afraid that something might go wrong.
Now, several decades have passed, and the grass on the graves of that group of robbers is three meters high.
Besides, there are no marks on the gold and silver, so it is safe.
The three brothers were stunned after hearing this...
"Mom... our grandparents are so brave..."
The third child was smart and silently gave a thumbs up, showing that his grandparents really do great things quietly.
"How dare you make fun of grandpa and grandma?"
The eldest brother slapped the third brother's mischievous hand away with a "snap", but, well, grandpa and grandma are great.
"Well, your grandparents have been honest all their lives, and this is the only time they've been bold enough. They haven't enjoyed any of the blessings themselves, so I'll leave it all to you."
"Remember the kindness of your grandparents, okay?"
In the original owner's memory, the old couple were very good to the original owner, and were even better to their little grandchildren.
Such a good mother-in-law is not common in ordinary farming families.
The old couple deserves the respect from their children.
"Yes, my sons remember it."
The family felt more confident, and the brothers also smiled happily.
Eh~? That's not right, the two kids realized immediately, they were happy that the family had money, then, then they should go to school even more~
"Mom, our family's money is hard-earned. Let's save it for my eldest brother's education."
"My son likes to work in the fields. The smell of the soil is so good~"
Warmth... These two shameless little bastards can say anything nonsense just to avoid studying.
What to do if the child is disobedient? Just give him a spanking and he will behave himself.
"Boss, bring the broom to mom."
Brothers!!!
Haha~ It’s a good thing that we don’t have feather dusters nowadays, otherwise that thing would be more convenient to use. This broom is just okay.
"Okay, Mom~"
The eldest brother wholeheartedly agrees with disciplining his younger brother. If he doesn't study hard, he should be beaten.
The boss quickly handed over the broom... and quickly dodged to the corner, well, to avoid being implicated.
The two brothers looked desperate... the eldest brother...
"Look at what your eldest brother is doing. Your eldest brother is very well behaved."
Wen Nuan weighed the broom in her hand, and then... started dancing vigorously.
"To make you disobedient and not study hard."
"If you don't study, what do you want to do? Your grandparents risked their lives to save our family, and this is how you repay them."
"If you don't study, you won't be able to understand what it means if you are tricked into signing a contract to sell yourself."
Warmth comes from beating and scolding, and the more you scold, the more you get angry.
Even if these two brothers do business in the future, they will also have to look at various accounts, contracts and the like. How can they do that without being able to read and write?
What can these two kids do with their brains that have only attended private school for two months?
It is easy to imagine that in the life when these two brothers achieved success, they must have worked hard later, otherwise, how could they become imperial merchants? Illiterate imperial merchants? Stop talking nonsense.
Rather than letting these two young men hang themselves in middle age, she might as well straighten them out now.
Thinking of this, Wen Nuan increased the strength of his hands a little more. He knew that if he didn't hurt them, they wouldn't learn their lesson.
Of course, she usually hits her butt because the meat is thick and plump.
"Oh, mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
"Mom, it hurts..."
"Mother, my son is reading, my son, please read well..."
The two brothers wanted to run but were afraid to do so. They were afraid that their mother would not be able to keep up and would hurt her waist. So they could only crawl like turtles, looking so miserable.
After hearing the satisfactory answer, Wen Nuan stopped and called the eldest brother over. She took out a bottle of medicine from the house, and she and the eldest brother each helped to apply the medicine.
That butt was pulled apart~ Ouch, it was horrible, Wen Nuan was really ruthless.
"Mother...Mother, just let big brother come."
As soon as the brothers' white buns were exposed, they felt too embarrassed to get on.
"My son has grown up and doesn't need me anymore~"
"Boss, I'll leave it to you."
Wen Nuan did not insist on applying the medicine. After all, boys and girls should sit at different tables when they are seven years old. The child's face is also face, and she, as a mother, should give him some respect.
However, before leaving, Wen Nuan still said a few words: "Since you promised to study hard, you must keep your word."
"Mother doesn't expect you to pass the imperial examination, but at least you should learn all the characters."
"With some knowledge in your head, it will be easier for you to walk any path in the future."
"Read it first. When your eldest brother has tested it and feels that it is ready, then you can stop."
These two kids are actually very smart. They must be very savvy in doing business. They can't get by without some cleverness.
In other words, his mind is not focused. If he could calm down and study hard... she believes in her child.
"Brother...Mother..."
After Wen Nuan left, the two brothers couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
"You know how hard your mother works, right? She wants you to study hard."
"Which shopkeeper in the county town is illiterate? People like you who are illiterate can only be waiters and waitresses."
"If you don't study hard this time, I will take care of you without your mother having to do anything. Do you hear me?"
The eldest brother couldn't help but feel a little sour in his nose. Their mother, even if she suffered, her heart was still full of them.
"Brother, we must study hard..."
