The Lu family was in trouble for a while. Although the old lady was reluctant to part with the money, she couldn't leave the old man alone, so she had to find a doctor for the old man.
After seeing Mr. Lu, the doctor shook his head helplessly.
Soon the news of Mr. Lu's hemiplegia spread in the village.
When the news reached Lu Lin's ears, Lu Lin couldn't help being surprised, but after thinking about it, Lu Lin felt relieved.
Most of the people here are malnourished and overworked. Their life expectancy is very short. Many people die in their 40s. If they can live to their 60s or 70s, they are considered to be very old. Mr. Lu is not young Yes, it's not surprising to suffer from stroke and hemiplegia.
Unexpectedly, the old man was paralyzed.
Lu Lin held his hands behind his back, and was not very impressed with the old man. Although the old lady is domineering, many things are the old lady's idea, but if the old man was willing to say a few words for the original owner's father, the original owner's father would not have died outside. .
Chen Xiaomi pursed her lips and said, "This is paralyzed, so it's hard to work." From now on, people will wait for him to eat, drink, and scatter.
The Lu family had just added two young children, and it was a time of panic. At this time, the old man fell down again, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome.
Lu Lin smiled and said: "Life can always be passed." The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Lu family has some family background, and there are many people in the village who have a harder life than the Lu family.
It's still the old lady's psychological endurance!
Lu Lin felt that the old lady had been acting cynical all day long, knowing that she had been cheated by the Li family, she must have felt uncomfortable, but it was the old man who fell down.
As soon as the old man fell, Tang became a little worried. Now the family's income is only those from the field.
The income from the field is enough for food, but Lu Chengyu still has to go to school, and now the old man still needs to take medicine, so naturally it is not enough.
Mrs. Wang felt sorry for Qian, and after visiting a doctor, she found that the doctor had nothing to do, so she sent him away.
Lu Ming stayed in the room, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did Cheng Yu fail the ranking again? The master didn't try hard!"
Tang sighed, and said: "It seems that Master Registrar can't affect this exam."
"How is it possible?" Lu Ming stood up excitedly, if he didn't see that this daughter-in-law could help his son's imperial examination, he would not have looked down on this daughter-in-law.
Tang said sullenly: "Her sister may not be able to speak at all." After all, she is just a concubine.
Lu Ming said angrily, "Unlucky."
Tang sighed, and said, "You see, the old man is sick again now, what should we do?"
Lu Ming was also in a bit of a dilemma. The old man is sick. There are also some old men in the town who suffer from this disease. The family members of those old men have spent a lot of money to cure them.
Lu Ming felt that the treatment could not be cured anyway, so it was better not to treat it. It is not cheap to ask a doctor, but it is still up to his mother to decide on this matter.
"It's all the fault of the younger sister-in-law. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have stimulated the old man like this." Tang gritted his teeth. If the old man didn't get sick, he could still help the family with some work. The old man is paralyzed now, not only can't do it. The work still needs someone to take care of it. This year, I am afraid that a few more people will be hired to work in the field.
Without this money to spend, no one is willing to work, and there is not much harvest in the field. If more people are invited, the cost will be higher.
Lu Ming was also very angry, "Sister-in-law, you really don't know how to measure."
Looking at the old man lying on the bed, Mrs. Wang howled angrily: "Why is my life so hard!" After the old man became paralyzed, he couldn't eat and needed someone to feed him, and Mrs. Wang had to bathe and wipe the old man. Physically, it was okay at first, but after a long time, Wang felt powerless.
Wang wanted Tang to serve the old man, but Tang said it was against the rules.
"Look at the daughter-in-law you married, it's useless at all." Whenever Wang's going wrong recently, she caught Tang and others and scolded her.
"Mom, I've been fooled too."
"You don't want to find out about this kind of thing, and marry a mourner to beat me." Wang yelled loudly.
In the beginning, Mrs. Wang was always concerned about the relatives of the master, and she was quite tolerant towards Li Fangyue. Now Mrs. Wang has broken the pot, knowing that Li Fangyue is in the next room, she has no scruples.
How much money was spent to marry her family? In the end, she only married a bitch's younger sister.
Before the spring test, in order to gain connections, Mrs. Wang bit the bullet and took out some of the money, and asked Li Fangyue to do some activities. Thinking of the money that was given away, Mrs. Wang regretted it and broke her heart.
Li Fangyue has been scolded a lot recently, but because of her wrongdoing, she can only endure it.
Wang Shi looked at Tang Shi, a little annoyed, "You knew it early on, but you still kept it from me."
Tang smiled awkwardly, and said, "I don't know." Even if it's a concubine, as long as she can speak well, she doesn't know that she can't at all.
Inside the house.
"Grandma Shen, you are going to the countryside!" Lu Lin asked.
"That's right, Grandma Li is dead. I have been an old neighbor for decades. I still have to go and see." Grandma Shen said.
The relationship between Grandma Shen and the deceased Grandma Li is still good. Two acres of the land that Grandma Shen rented out was given to Grandma Li's son.
Lu Lin nodded, and said: "That can't be shirked, I'll let Qin Lang see you off."
Grandma Shen shook her head and said, "No, there's no need for such trouble."
Qin Lang hurriedly said: "No trouble, grandma, you can just listen to brother Lin, so that Chi won't worry."
Thinking of Shen Chi, Grandma Shen smiled and said, "That's fine."
As soon as Grandma Shen returned to the countryside, she was surrounded by the villagers. Grandma Shen rented out all the land in the countryside, and she didn't see anyone in the town all day long, which made the villagers feel quite miraculous.
"Grandma Shen, I heard that there are two new female workers in the shop. Doesn't it affect you?"
Grandma Shen nodded, and said, "I invited two people, but it didn't affect me." Lu Lin bought two maids who were prostituted a few months ago. He became the person invited by Lu Lin.
"Grandma Shen, you seem to be more energetic!"
Grandma Shen smiled and said, "Where, where."
Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the topic suddenly turned to the Lu family.
"Grandma Shen, the Lu family has been arguing recently. I heard Mrs. Wang scolding her granddaughter-in-law for losing money all day long."
"This old lady is not sure what to say, and she is not afraid of offending the Master Registrar, Lu Chengyu, who failed the exam this time. The old lady is probably angry."
"Hey, speaking of it, you still have to rely on your own ability to take the imperial examination. It doesn't matter what it is."
"This Lu Chengyu has taken the exam many times. Mrs. Tang guarantees that she will pass the exam every time, but she fails every time. Is it okay?"
"This exam!"
Grandma Shen is not very clear about the recent affairs of the Lu family, but Grandma Shen has already known about the fact that Lin Xiuer's sister is just a concubine. Listening to the gloating of the villagers, Grandma Shen guessed in her heart that on the Lu family's side, the old man probably knew that Li Ru was just a concubine, so he fell ill all of a sudden.
"The Lu family is having a hard time these days!"
"Yeah, it seems that the land is going to be sold again."
"Why are you selling the land again? After selling this land, you can still buy it back!"
Grandma Shen frowned, and thought to herself: The Lu family has committed a crime. They are going to sell the land again. This land is sold less and less, and the days are getting poorer and poorer. In the future, I am afraid that they can only be ordinary people.
"Are you going to sell the land again? How many acres are you selling?" Grandma Shen asked.
"It seems to be two acres."
Lin Xiuer hid in the house, feeling very depressed.
Lin Xiu'er has been waiting for a suitable opportunity to expose Li Fangyue, waiting left and right, and finally the opportunity came, but unexpectedly, the old man suddenly fell ill. Once the old man fell ill, there was one less person in the family to work. One more person takes medicine, and life is sad again.
Lin Xiu'er looked at Lu An and said, "How about it, did you say you want to buy land?"
"Li Zheng said that the price offered by my mother is too high, and I'm afraid no one will take over it in a while." Lu An said.
Lin Xiu'er said sullenly: "It doesn't have to be selling the land, as long as more income is enough. Cheng Yu is not a scholar, let him copy books. I heard people say that copying books can also earn a lot of money. This test After so long, he was not admitted as a scholar, and if this continues, the family will not be able to afford him."
There are not many literate people here, and the price of books is very expensive. Therefore, many students from poor families rely on copying books to subsidize their families. If they copy books, they can also make a good income.
Lu An thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Cheng Yu won't agree."
Lin Xiu'er said disdainfully: "How much money the family has spent for him and his wife, and he can't let him take Joe. The family is like this, does he still want to show his grandson? He doesn't even want to see if he has such a life. "
"I'll go to my mother to discuss it." Lu An said.
Lu An also couldn't figure out what the old lady meant. His mother loved Lu Chengyu the eldest grandson the most. No matter how difficult the family was, she couldn't bear to cut off Lu Chengyu's food. However, the situation is different now, and all the money in the family was spent. It's almost there, Lu Chengyu doesn't want to make money, so the family can only keep selling the land.
When Tang told Lu Chengyu about copying the book, Lu Chengyu was so angry that he vomited blood.
Lu An suggested to the old lady to let Lu Chengyu copy books to make money, and Wang agreed immediately. In Wang's opinion, copying books can not only review the past and learn new things, but also earn some money, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Lu Chengyu was in a bad mood when he failed the talent test again, because during this period of time, there were a lot of gossip in the village, and Lu Chengyu was too lazy to go out, but unexpectedly, it would be difficult to have a quiet time at home.
Lu Chengyu was very high-spirited. Copying books, in Lu Chengyu's view, was something that good-for-nothing students could do.
The competition among the students is also very serious. Students who make money by copying books are considered poor ghosts by all the classmates. Therefore, many students make money by copying books, and they do it secretly.
Lu Chengyu didn't expect that he would fall to this point, and grandma agreed.
As soon as Lu An spoke, she didn't try to persuade her, so Wang agreed. Although Wang felt sorry for her eldest grandson, she was really annoyed by the eldest son. Wang didn't expect Lu Chengyu's wife to be a parallel importer. This girl also sold a few acres of land. Every time Wang saw Li Fangyue, she wanted to strangle her to death.
Tang looked at her son helplessly, and said, "This son, the family really has nothing to do now."
When Tang went out recently, he often heard the villagers comparing Lu Chengyu and Lu Lin. Some people said that Lu Lin was now entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the big boss, so he could be on his own. Lu Chengyu has grown so big that he can't earn money and fail to pass the exam. A scholar, now it seems that Lu Lin is more promising.
Tang was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke. From Tang's point of view, Lu Lin was not worthy of carrying shoes for his own son, but in the eyes of the villagers, he became the more promising one.
