Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 11

"Mom, you're awake, are you hungry? At noon, Aunt Hua brought two eggs and asked my wife to cook you a tonic."

As Du said, he opened the closed bowl, and inside was yellow egg custard, which should be dripping with lard, and it was delicious.

Bai Yunxi moved her nose, she only had a bowl of porridge for lunch, and she was already hungry, "Well, the second child and the others are back?"

"Mother, the second brother and the fourth and fifth brothers have been repairing the huts at the head of the village. The fourth brother in the middle came back and said that the huts at the head of the village were in disrepair for a long time. "

As Du said, she looked at her mother-in-law's expression, but unfortunately her mother-in-law's face was so numb that she couldn't see anything.

'I don't know if my mother-in-law has money for her private house, but if she can take out some to rent a house in the village that she can live in, it will be better than a shack with air leaks everywhere. '

Baiyunxi ate egg custard in small mouthfuls, listening to Du Shi's inner voice, the corner of his mouth twitched,
The original owner really didn't have a penny in his hands, all the money was used up for the old Juren's medical treatment, and he had no money for the funeral, so Li Zheng came forward to help recover some outstanding Shuxiu, and exchanged copper coins, so he barely managed it .

Shuxiu, a private school in the Song Dynasty, followed the six rituals, namely celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried meat, each of which had its meaning.

Celery means good work and hard work.

Lotus seeds imply painstaking education.

Red beans symbolize good luck.

Jujube means early high school.

Longan symbolizes the completion of merit and virtue.

Dried meat expresses the disciple's heart.

Except for Liuli, the tuition fee per semester is two buckets of rice, and the rest is gone.

Compared with the cost of private schools in the county, Lao Juren is really a person of conscience. Even so, there are still some people who don't have the money to pay for it.

For those families who have no money but still want their children to study, Lao Juren never makes it difficult. They always keep accounts first, and then give them when conditions permit.

It is common for some people to default on arrears for one or two years.

The old Juren never urges, and has always adhered to the sage's saying that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. If you have no money, you owe it first, and when you have it, you will pay it when you have it.

For this reason, the original owner complained more than once, saying that some people are slippery and deliberately defaulted on their debts. The old Juren always smiled and told her not to judge others with a villainous heart.

The old Juren lived in Liushuwan. Because of Juren’s status, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, not only the family could be exempted from corvee, but also the land tax of [-] mu. Because of this, most of the Bai clan’s land was attached to the old Juren’s name. Down.

Now that the person is gone, the title of Juren is gone. Apart from pitying the land and having to pay taxes, there are not many people in the Bai clan who are really sad.

Seeing her mother-in-law not speaking, Mrs. Du felt uneasy.

"Go and do your work, just call Yaya." The little girl ran out just now, but after Mrs. Du came in, she didn't follow her.

"Hey~,"

Mrs. Du was also stunned for a moment, then turned around and went out. Although she didn't know what her mother-in-law wanted her daughter to do, she didn't ask any further questions.

After a while, a little man came over hesitantly, looked up at her, and immediately lowered his head and grabbed his skirt.

Bai Yunxi looked at the little girl's timid look, and shook her head helplessly,
"Yaya, come, eat egg custard." She purposely saved half of it for this girl.

As soon as she heard the egg custard, Yaya raised her head instantly, looked at the golden egg custard in the bowl, licked her lower lip, and shook her head timidly.

"Yaya is not hungry, grandma's head is bleeding and needs to be mended." That's what Grandma Hua said when she came.
