MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

   Chapter 43 43 Uncle Five spent our school money?

   "Yeah, my eldest grandson only has 1 taels of 2 coins a month, and his mother thinks it's too high. Now it seems that my good grandson is really saving."

   "My darling, 6 taels of silver a month is enough for several reading buddies..."

   As soon as these words came out, the eldest, second child, and their daughters-in-law of the Lin family were not calm.

   Boss Lin has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Lin Dazhuang, is older than Lin Yuanshan, and the youngest son is only one year younger than Lin Yuanshan. He had mentioned to his mother about sending the two children to the academy before.

   What his mother said, saying that Da Zhuang is not a material for reading, and is far less smart than the fifth one.

   When he arrived at Xiaozhuang's place, he said that his family didn't have that much money, so he couldn't afford two reading boys.

   But now, a scholar from someone else's family only needs to spend five yuan and more money a month, and the fifth child actually spends three taels.

  Thinking that the money that Lin Yuanshan spent might be the money that their family's big Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang went to school, the old man and his wife looked at Lin Yuanshan differently.

   Not only the couple, but also the second couple Lin.

  The two also gave birth to two sons, Lin Dashan and Lin Xiaoshan, who also failed to go to the academy.

   As for the fourth Lin. Because the family has no money, he has not married his wife now.

   He was also displeased when he thought that the old five spends money might be the dowry money for his wife.

   "Milk! Is what Erya said true? Fifth Uncle spent our school money!" Lin Erzhuang was not as calm as his father and uncles, and couldn't help asking.

   What he envied most in his family was his fifth uncle. He eats well, dresses well, doesn't have to work in the fields, and the whole family still pampers him.

  If he can go to the academy, his grades will definitely be better than Uncle Fifth.

  The matter of going to the academy, he actually asked his parents to mention it, but was rejected. The saying is that the family can't afford two readers. And his fifth uncle is smart, and he has been in school for so long.

   He finally accepted this statement.

   But now? Someone else's dude only spends more than 1 tael a month, but his fifth uncle costs 6 taels a month!

  6 taels, enough for six reading men. Not to mention that it is enough for him and his eldest brother to go to school, plus the mountains and hills are no problem!

   Uncle Wu is so selfish! Is it because they are afraid that they will also become a scholar and shake his status in the family?

   Mrs. Lin looked anxiously at Lin Yuanshan, not knowing how to answer her grandson's question.

   She also didn't expect that other people's schoolboys only need more than 1 taels of silver a month.

  Lin Yuanshan's face was pale, looking at Lin Xiaoyue as if poisoned.

   But he couldn't attack Lin Xiaoyue, he just pulled old lady Lalin's sleeve.

   lowered his voice and said to Mrs. Lin, "Mother, I'll explain this to you later, let's settle Erya's affairs first."

  Old lady Lin was stunned for a moment, but when her younger son said she could explain it to her, she calmed down again.

   Her fifth child is the most promising and has been smart since childhood.

   He had told her before that he spent so much money mainly for entertainment and socializing, to prepare for the success of being admitted to Tongsheng next year.

  The fifth child of her family is in a special situation, how can she compare with those elm knots in the village?

"Oh, you unfilial thing! You are so suspicious of your fifth uncle? The old fifth went to the town academy alone, and there are more places to spend money on socializing and entertainment. What do you know?! Old woman I'll beat you to death today, you bastard!" As Mrs. Lin said, she suddenly picked up her crutches and was about to call Lin Xiaoyue.

  Lin Xiaoyue of course couldn't be beaten by her while standing, so she avoided it by dodging beside her.

   The author explained: In this article, the Lin family has a total of 16 members, only Mrs. Lin, Lin Yuanshan, the predecessor, Lin Xiaozhi, do not work, and the remaining 12 people all go to the ground, work or do embroidery work at home (Liu family). Therefore, it is possible to pay Lin Yuanshan six taels per month (currently 6,000 yuan).
