Chapter 157 Ancient Farmer (14)

Lin Xiucai from the Lin family passed the exam.

The news cheered up the whole village.

Being a scholar is completely different from being a scholar. First of all, being a scholar is qualified to be an official. Although the official position is small, it is still an official.

Secondly, there is no need to pay taxes on the land under the name of a Juren. Therefore, it is often the case that there is a Juren in the clan, and the fields of all clan members will be listed in his name to reasonably avoid taxes.

How did that sentence come about?

20559205593621533310It is better to offend ten talented people than to offend a single scholar.

Because a scholar just has a good name, but a scholar can do a lot.

In addition, according to the regulations of the Ye Kingdom, a scholar can go to the local government every year to receive his own stipend. This is a real benefit. It can be said that from a scholar to a scholar, he has completely gone from a small shabby house to a blue brick house.

Ever since the news came out that Lin Xiucai was admitted to Juren, the door to the third bedroom of the Lin family was almost broken down by people. People came to make friends, to find out what books Juren read, and even brought their own children to ask if they could become apprentices. of.

The last time Mother Lin felt such great status was when Lin Shiheng was admitted as a scholar. He was young at that time, and everyone said that his son was a child prodigy. Being able to be admitted as a scholar at such a young age would be a big deal in the future, and he offended a group of people. People come to their home to watch and give gifts to bring good luck.

At that time, Mother Lin was at a loss and didn't know what to do. This time, she had experience. She immediately boiled hot water to greet the guests who came to the house, and Li Lanlan was also busy greeting them.

This time, many more people came to give gifts than when Lin Shiheng was admitted as a scholar, and the gifts were all heavy. Her son hadn't come back yet, and Mother Lin didn't know what to do. Father Lin, who was still lying in bed, said he couldn't. Receive it, everyone knows that receiving gifts means getting things done. What if Shi Heng doesn't have the ability? There are also those who give you gifts without asking for work. Favors are much more valuable than asking for work.

Li Lanlan also thinks that her father-in-law is right. People give you gifts without asking for anything. Next time if someone comes to ask for something, will you be embarrassed to refuse?

Mother Lin had always had no opinion. Seeing that her husband and daughter-in-law said they could not accept expensive gifts from unknown people, she immediately told those who came to give gifts that her son was not at home and her husband was ill in bed. She, an ignorant woman, really did not dare to accept these gifts. Valuable things, etc.

The owners of those people also wanted to have a good relationship. If anything happened to them in the future, they would have a place to ask for help. Seeing that the Lin family refused to accept the offer, they did not expect that such an old woman from a rural family could still be there. There is such insight.

They secretly admired him and left, but the villagers who came to congratulate him were extremely envious.

The Lin family doesn't want so many expensive gifts. It seems that they are really prosperous.

The daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law stood in her yard and craned her neck to watch the excitement, but her eyes were almost red and bleeding.

So many good things! !

Why is your mother-in-law so stupid! !

She doesn’t want it, so she should give those things to them!

How can there be such a fool who doesn't want anything delivered to his door?

She wanted to rush to Mother Lin and shout something, but she didn't dare.

Before, just knowing that Lin Shiheng knew a government clerk scared her so much that she didn't dare to act like a monster in front of her. Now that Lin Shiheng was about to become an official, she was even more afraid to do anything.

But I’m not willing to give in!

If the family hadn't been separated and the younger brother had become an official, could he still take care of his elder brother? !

It's fine now. The family has been divided, and she has offended her mother-in-law and third brother very badly. Even her third brother and sister have a bad relationship with her, so her wish to get a piece of the pie may be in vain.

They originally thought that they would be able to live a good life if they separated their families and got rid of the troublesome people. But now, not only are their lives getting worse and worse, but the three rooms next door are getting better and better. How can this be possible? Not sad.

The daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law felt so heartbroken that she wished she could go back in time to the time when the family was separated and hug her mother-in-law's thigh without letting go.

But it's too late to say anything now.

She knew that she had offended her third wife, so she didn't dare to show her face in the past. She was afraid that Mother Lin would be angry when she saw her. She fumbled and found Boss Lin, who was smoking a cigarette at h0u'me:n.

"Dad, there are so many people over there now that Third Brother is busy. You can go and help."

Boss Lin frowned and remained silent.

Everyone in the village knew that he gave up his biological father and did not support the old man. Now that Sanfang has become rich thanks to Lin Shiheng, what will happen to him if he continues to get involved.

The eldest daughter-in-law knew what Boss Lin was thinking at a glance. She softened her tone and said, "Don't be too aggressive. We have to think about our grandson. Now that the third brother is so powerful, he must help his nephews and grandnephew no matter what. Otherwise, they will not be able to do anything." Are you talking about him? If you keep your attitude straight, you are my mother's son, and she will definitely forgive you."

Boss Lin took a long drag on his cigarette.

Yes, his mother has a soft temper and will definitely forgive him. The third brother is going to be an official. Officials are most worried about reputation. As long as he coaxes his mother well, he will take care of him even if the third brother doesn't want to.

After thinking clearly, Boss Lin stood up and walked towards the third room.

Mother Lin was smiling from ear to ear while listening to people flattering her. She felt that she had never been so happy before today. She was so happy when her unfilial son came.

Her face immediately dropped, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

"mother."

Boss Lin shouted: "I think you are too busy to work, so I want to come and help you."

"No need for you!"

Mother Lin sneered: "You saw that Shi Heng has made great achievements, so you want to take advantage of him, right? Let me tell you, when we separated the family, you said that you had nothing to do with the third branch in the future. Not to mention that Shi Heng has passed the imperial examination, even if he becomes a high-ranking official, it has nothing to do with you!!"

Boss Lin wanted to say more, but Li Lanlan saw that something was wrong and had already come into the room.

Father Lin was lying on the bed in the room, and a group of elders were chatting around him. His face, which was suffering from the pain, was now smiling.

He was over sixty years old, so old, he should have been buried long ago, but he was lucky. Not only did he not die despite such a serious injury before, but the doctor Shi Heng found was also a great doctor. After treating him for some time, his legs gradually became sensitive.

Father Lin was full of energy when he thought that he would be able to walk in the future, work for his son, and maybe even see Shi Heng's child born.

Now that he was praised by the elders, he was even more energetic.

When Li Lanlan came in and carefully told him about the boss Lin's visit, the listless father Lin immediately widened his eyes in anger.

"Tell him to get out! Just say I said so. If he dares to come to the third room again, I will sue him for being unfilial!!"

Before, he could ignore the fact that his two sons wanted him dead because of his fatherly love, but now the situation is different. Shi Heng passed the imperial examination and needs fame. He raised those two things. It is no exaggeration to say that he, as a father, knows what they are going to do when they stick their butts out.

For money, they can even abandon their own father, let alone Shi Heng, their own brother.

Shi Heng was young before, and he thought that this child was good at studying but did not expect him to support him in his old age. Unexpectedly, when something really happened, only this youngest child would stick with him and his wife.

Before, when the third house was in trouble, Boss Lin never stepped into the house. Now that there are so many people in the yard, he really helped. Isn't it just to show off in front of the villagers that he is thinking about his younger brother and is a good person?

Bah! He won't let this ungrateful wolf get what he wants!

The elders were all in the house. Seeing that Father Lin was smiling and rosy just now, but now his face turned pale with anger, an old man immediately stood up and said, "Don't be angry, I will help you scold him."

At that time, Father Lin was injured and Mother Lin was old. Boss Lin, who was supposed to support his parents, pushed the matter directly to his unmarried younger brother. The villagers talked a lot about him, but now everyone is having a hard time, and they are too busy to take care of other people's family affairs.

But now it's different. Lin Shiheng passed the imperial examination, which means he is half an official. If he doesn't please him now, there will be no such good opportunity in the future.

The elders are all old and cunning people. They scolded Boss Lin as soon as they went out, and they almost scolded him to doubt his life.

When he heard that Lin's father was going to sue him for being unfilial, his originally ugly face immediately withered.

The charge of being unfilial was enough to put him in jail until death, and he didn't want that.

After the eldest brother was defeated, Lin Laoer, who was quietly observing in his yard and thinking that if the eldest brother really succeeded, he would also do it, followed him back to the house.

They went back to the house feeling frustrated and angry.

If the family had not been divided and the parents had not been angered, the third brother would have benefited, and they would definitely have had a share!!

Neither of them was a good person, and they immediately blamed all the responsibility on their wives.

They were determined that it was them who instigated it, otherwise how could they be unfilial to their parents.

The first wife and the second wife were not to be outdone. If their husbands hadn't mentioned it to them first, would they have stood up and been the first to speak out? If there were advantages, they were great, and if there were disadvantages, it was their fault. How could it be like this!

The two couples, who were not in love but had a good understanding of each other, had a fight and were almost a fight.

On the other hand, the fact that Li's father's son-in-law passed the imperial examination also reached the ears of Widow Zhang.

Before Li Lanlan got married, she had often urged Li's father to give her and her son the food and money in the family, but at that time she only wanted to use Li's father and didn't want to develop anything with this man who was much older than herself.

But now it's different, his son-in-law is a juren.

Maybe he can become an official in the future!

Besides, Li's father is so good to her, maybe he has liked her for a long time, if she marries him, he will definitely treat her better in the future.

So, on a rainy night, Li's father came to Widow Zhang's house to help and was kept overnight. He drank some wine at night, and the next day, he appeared in the bed of Widow Zhang's house in dishevel.

After Widow Zhang cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself, he quickly proposed marriage.

This widower who had been a widower for almost half his life finally said goodbye to being single thanks to his son-in-law.

20559205593621533310 Widow Zhang tried her best to serve her father-in-law, who was a juren. Soon, Father Li was addicted to her gentleness.

Soon, Lin Shiheng came back.

That day, Widow Zhang urged Father Li to talk to her son-in-law, saying that it would be even better if he could get some benefits.

He was a juren, so how could he not have a lot of money? Just a little bit of it would be enough for them to enjoy for a long time.

Father Li put some money on him and went obediently.

While Widow Zhang was looking forward to it.

He came back.

With an empty pocket.
