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

Chapter 43
"Mother just thinks that all good long-cherished wishes can only be hoped if there is a solid supply of money and food. If you want to climb up, your second brother is the one who builds the ladder, and they are indispensable."

Bai Xiaowu: "..."

'When did he step on my brother's shoulders and climb up? '

Look, don't say that Boss Bai is selfish, even Bai Xiaowu is ignoring the efforts of his second brother.

They have always believed in their hearts that doing farm work is a worthless second child.

"In Xiao Wu's mind, is there any distinction between high and low, high or low?"

Xiao Wu was taken aback, and opened his mouth without even thinking about it.

"Of course there is a share. Otherwise, why did Dad let his son study hard? He just hoped that one day he would be a master and shine in the family. Let people look up to him, instead of being like ordinary people who shrink back and say nothing when they go. Yes, there is a possibility of a severe beating."

Hearing Xiao Wu's tone, Bai Yunxi was not surprised at all. He is a local aborigine and has the right to speak.

During this period, as he said, there were serious class divisions, and everyone wanted to be an official, although there was a ranking of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, the government is beyond reach, but the merchants sell goods, contact them from time to time, and want to do casual work to earn a little money, they still have to bow their heads to them, and they can't be provoked either.

"You are right. Mother also knows that the world is unfair, especially the low-level farmers who do the hardest work and eat the worst food. In the eyes of those powerful people, they are like ants."

"Because of this, anyone with surplus food at home would rather cut down on food and clothing than send their children to learn to read and write, hoping to change the door. You are a scholar, so you should know how much it costs to support a student for a year, right?"

Listening to his mother's question, Xiao Wu frowned. His father is a Juren, so he doesn't need to be a teacher, but he also consumes a lot of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Before his father's accident, he told him to ask his classmates to find him a mentor Advice one or two.

Once you become a teacher, you will earn a lot every year for the six rites alone. Generally speaking, to support a student, you need the strength of the whole family.

Thinking of this, he faintly felt his mother's intentions.

"Mother, don't worry, when my son is in high school, he will definitely support his elder brother and won't abandon him."

Listening to Xiao Wu's tone, Bai Yunxi shook his head,

"You are wrong. Regardless of whether you study or not, respecting brothers and sisters is what you should do, not charity. The nine sons of a dragon are different, and you brothers who are one-milk compatriots will naturally have mutual respect. length."

"It's like you are good at studying. Your second brother is talented in farm work. You brothers just have different divisions of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low. Without your second brother and second sister-in-law working hard in farming, there is no food, what do you eat, can you study hungry ?”

Bai Xiaowu: "..."

"If you think you can farm, that's right, but if you spend your time on farming, you must spend much less time on studying? As for what you said about high school, you can support your brothers. This is a promise to you. , but to others it’s empty talk, a white note.”

"It's empty talk, a gentleman keeps his promises, and a son keeps his word."

Hearing the voice of questioning, Bai Xiaowu stood up excitedly, forgetting the basket on his back, if Bai Yunxi hadn't stretched out his hand to grab him, this bear would have gone straight into the bushes.

"Mother is just making an analogy. Why are you excited? It's just a matter of fact, and I didn't say you would break your promise."
