Chapter 10 On Fools

Mr. Lin's eyes fell on her: "What do you mean? You can't fool Master You, or else you will have to go to this school even if you are tied up!" His face was still quite bluffing, at least Lin Dongshou had shrunk his neck to hide Behind Lin Shiwu.

Lin Shiwu put his arms around his shoulders and patted him gently.

"Master, think about it, what am I going to school for?" Seeing that Mr. Lin was willing to listen to her, Lin Shiwu felt relieved immediately, and began to fool around without blinking: "Can I still be like my brothers? Do you want to go to the imperial examination for the number one scholar?"

When Mr. Lin heard this, he really thought about it.

"I can't take the imperial examination, so naturally I don't need to waste money and time in the school." Lin Shiwu continued to fool: "I think, I went to school to learn how to read, and I learned what those words read and what they mean. Reading books independently is enough!"

Master Lin's expression gradually began to waver.

"I know that my master thinks that people are obedient from books, and that everything is inferior, and only reading is good, but what I know and learn now is enough for me to read some favorite books at home, gain knowledge from books, and the school can teach There is not much left for me, unless the Lord wants me to disguise myself as a man to take the imperial examination..." Lin Shiwu said calmly.

The original owner has always been smart in his studies, so there is no doubt about what he said.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin thought carefully about the possibility of her disguised as a man: "It seems that it is not impossible. In ancient times, Mulan joined the army in place of her father..."

Lin Shiwu: ... careless!

She hurriedly said: "Master, we can't do deceitful things! How important is the imperial examination? Forging identities is equivalent to cheating, and it will bring the whole family to lose their heads!"

"It's my fault." Mr. Lin also realized the seriousness, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Only then did Lin Shiwu feel relieved. She had read books for several lifetimes. In order to consolidate the fact that she did not go to school, she said again: "Master, if you really want to support your granddaughter's studies, you might as well buy more books for her granddaughter, so that she can get more books." I can also learn some new knowledge, the content taught in the school is the same every year, no matter how much I review the past, I will never know something new."

Mr. Lin glanced at her, always feeling that he was being fooled.

Lin Shiwu just kept smiling.

Books in this day and age are more expensive than paper.

Mr. Lin and his wife still have little savings, but if they want to buy books, they have to tighten their belts for a year.

Although for the sake of the eldest granddaughter, they might choose to tighten their belts, but if they bought it for her, the uncle would definitely make a fuss, and they would have to ask Mr. Lin to buy it for her cousins.

I'm afraid I will have to pay back debts by then...

Sure enough, Mr. Lin relaxed, but he still asked with some uncertainty: "Is there really no need to go to the school?" If necessary, the debt must be paid for!

"It's really not necessary!" Lin Shiwu broke his mouth, leaving no possibility of continuing to go to school.

"That's fine, then I'll wait for Master to go to work and buy some good books for you." Master Lin compromised.

Lin Shiwu smiled obediently.

After talking with Mr. Lin for a while, he let him do some homework and was completely relieved. Only then did Lin Shiwu take Lin Dongshou's hand and get up to say goodbye: "Master, it's getting late, let's go first Already!"

This season is a good time to dig wild vegetables.

Lin Shiwu planned to go and have a look.

Mrs. Wang also came out from the back room at this moment, still holding a corner of the twisted silver in her hand, she must be more than two liang in size.

"Here, it's fine if you don't go to school, buy yourself more delicious food." Wang stuffed the money into Lin Shiwu's arms.

Lin Shiwu hastened to dissuade him: "Grandma, I really don't need it!"

"Why, look down on my old lady and dislike me?" Wang's face became serious.

Lin Shiwu waved his hands repeatedly.

She is glad now that in order to suppress the uncontrollable temper, the original owner dealt with the two elders more in silence, answering any questions, and just sitting bored without saying anything.

Otherwise, she really doesn't know how to yell and refuse to the two old men...

"Take it, it's good to keep it for a rainy day." Mr. Lin said at this moment.

Lin Shiwu could only accept the money.
