After Lin Dahe was surprised, after thinking about it, it seems that it is not uncommon. The third wife left early, and he is in his prime now, and it is also necessary to marry another one.

He didn't care about feeding the cow grass, he sighed: "The old man doesn't have me and the third child in his heart. If there is, he should have married the third child again."

Xu Shi didn't speak, she understood one truth best.

Even if her man hated the two old men, she couldn't scold them in front of her.

Just said: "It's not too late to plan now."

Lin Dahe thought about it too. The family conditions are getting better and better, and the third child can go to the exam. Even if there are three girls under him, in the eyes of many people, he is a good husband.

"Did Xiu Niang say, which family are you going to talk about?" Lin Dahe asked.

"They didn't say it." Xu shi rolled his eyes at him, "We have to say whether we want it or not. If we don't want it, they say which family it is, and it won't save face."

"Yes, yes, you understand." Lin Dahe smiled and went to the study impatiently. He must have thought that the third child had not had a wife by his side for so long.

Pushing open the door of the study, he told him the good news aloud: "Today Xiu Niang is here for matchmaking."

Lin Qi frowned, obviously displeased.

He paid Xiu Niang to come back, but he didn't ask her to do these things, especially because he actually thought about his daughter! Even if he has reached the age of 1 at this age, in his heart, she is a little girl.

"Why do you look unhappy?" Lin Dahe looked a little puzzled when he saw him, "Someone gave you a mother-in-law to change your anger?"

Lin Qi's frowning face became surprised, "For me?"

Lin Dahe nodded again and again, "Isn't it just for you? Tell me how good it would be to find a mother-in-law to come back. Someone at home will take care of you, and three girls will teach you."

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, "No, I can teach you the same way I pay someone to come back."

Lin Dahe smiled, with a meaningful smile, "Then you can't pay someone to come back and warm you up, right? If you really do this, I'll really punch you twice."

Just kidding, he also knew that the third brother would not do this.

Lin Qi only felt aversion to the cold, and he said seriously, "I really don't have this plan."

Lin Dahe restrained his smile and didn't quite understand, "Why?"

Lin Qi sighed and put down the book in his hand, without ambiguity or prevarication, but said seriously: "Second brother, I am quite satisfied with the current situation at home, if I marry a daughter-in-law and come back, who can guarantee In the future, she will not be biased because she gave birth to a child?"

Lin Dahe opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Lin Qi continued: "You and I are deeply affected by the favoritism of your parents. I don't want the three sisters to try it. Even if they are girls, they are still my children."

Lin Dahe's face was bitter, and the third brother's words really came into his heart.

As the third brother said, even the biological will be biased, let alone a child born by oneself and a child born in the womb of an outsider, there will definitely be partiality.

But let people marry in, and she is not allowed to have children, they will not do such evil things.

Lin Dahe sighed, "Since you don't want to, then forget it."

Lin Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he would be entangled in this matter.

However, when Lin Qi just breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Dahe said again: "Don't talk about your business, the big girl is already married, shouldn't you see others for her? Your sister-in-law can say that from seeing the relationship, at least it's all about getting married. It will take two or three years, and if you don’t get ready, you will be old.”

Lin Qi quickly shook his head, "Don't worry for now."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Lin Dahe intends to continue to persuade the third brother. If she becomes an old girl, she will definitely be able to marry, but it will be rare to find a good family again.

Lin Qi picked up the book in his hand, and he said, "I plan to wait for the hospital test to read it."

Only then did Lin Dahe realize that if the third younger brother passed the exam as a scholar, or even if he was a child, the husband that he could choose for Da Ya would be very good, and he should wait.

Instead of disturbing the third brother's reading, Lin Dahe went out of the study and closed the door, instead reminding the family that the third brother must be disturbed.

In the courtyard, Da Ya held the needle and thread in her hand, but did not move.

She heard some words from the second uncle and father just now, but she never thought that father would not want to marry again because of their three sisters.

There are some fluctuations in the heart, very warm and warm.

"Eldest sister, I can't get the thread in." Sanya asked for help with a needle and thread.

Daya came back to her senses, not thinking too much about other things, and took over the needle and thread to make it up for the third sister.

There was no movement on Lin Qi's side, no more fanfare, very quiet.

This made Lin Han unable to find out any information he wanted to inquire about, and his heart was itching.

"Grandpa."

Lin Yishi came back from the town and saw his grandfather sitting in the yard as soon as he entered the door. He hurried forward to meet him and put the rice wine he prepared from the town on the table, "Didn't you say earlier that you like the wine in the school? , I'll bring you some this time."

Lin Han didn't feel happy, and even a little didn't want to take the words of Shige'er.

He prefers Shige'er to come back bare-handed than to bring things home, because every time he takes things with him, he will not be able to escape the need for money.

Lin Yishi didn't realize that Grandpa saw his plan, but poured the drink for him, "Grandpa, try it, is it your favorite flavor."

Lin Han was silent for a while. Seeing that Brother Shi was holding the hand, he reached out and took it in distress. He opened his mouth and took a sip. The taste of the wine was not too strong, but it was indeed more mellow than the rice wine in the village.

When Lin Han took the first sip, Lin Yishi couldn't wait to say, "Grandpa, the county test will be available in three months. I want to try it again."

Lin Han frowned even more.

Lin Yishi hurriedly said, "The Master said, I'm absolutely sure this time."

Lin Han didn't respond. He had heard this kind of words too many times, and he really didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't believe it.

Naturally, he wanted Shige'er to take the exam, but he had money to take the exam.

For the recommendations of the three scholars, one should be at least 22 taels of silver, plus the travel and accommodation expenses to the county town, as well as miscellaneous items, all added together, this trip will cost at least 15 taels of silver.

Shi Ge'er had taken the exam three times before and spent about fifty taels of silver.

Every time I didn't even pass the first county test, this time it was also very mysterious.

Lin Yishi looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he whispered, "Last time a classmate passed the exam as a scholar, and I heard that some exam questions can be bought from him. If there are..."

Lin Han took a deep breath, and he said in astonishment, "Isn't that cheating?"

Lin Yishi quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling Grandpa to keep his voice low, and then explained softly, "I will only reveal some exam questions, and it is definitely not cheating. If I can know the questions, let alone Tong Sheng or a scholar can pass the exam. ."

Lin Han is still hesitating, cheating in the exam, and if he catches the later brother, he will be abolished in this life, and the rest of the family will be implicated in the exchange.

"Grandpa." Lin Yishi looked sad, he said sincerely: "I just want to give you a chance, if I can pass the exam, not only other people in the village will look at us, the second uncle and the third uncle even more will regret leaving us."

When Lin Han heard this, his eyes were cold and stern.

Although he was the one who adopted the two **** into Linde's name, how could he not be angry when he thought that the two **** had ignored them for such a long time, and didn't even come to meet each other.

Especially seeing that the two of them are getting better and better, the sullenness in Lin Han's heart is getting heavier. If Shige'er really succeeds in the exam, the two will definitely regret it.

After being silent for a long time, Lin Yishi didn't dare to urge him any more, and even planned to try to persuade him this time, so he would think of a solution next time.

Just when Lin Yishi was about to give up, Lin Han said, "How much money do you want?"

Lin Yishi's eyes were filled with joy, "Not much, thirty taels is enough."

Lin Han took a deep breath, "Thirty taels? Isn't that much?"

Lin Yishi quickly explained, "Grandpa, as long as I pass the examination as a scholar, someone will send it to me, let alone thirty taels of silver or one hundred taels of silver. I won't take a penny at that time, and I will keep it all for you."

Lin Han listened, and his face improved a little.

There is only one reason why I expect someone in my family to pass the exam.

As long as he can pass the test, there are countless people rushing to give him money. No matter how old the elder brother is, he is in his twenties. It was only because he didn't pass the test and he didn't look down on the country girl, which has been delayed until now.

If Shige'er passed the exam, he would be able to marry a young lady from the town, and the dowry would be extremely rich.

Thinking about it this way, thirty-two is really not much.

but…

Lin Han reconfirmed, "Why did that person get the exam questions? Is it really this year's question? If not, can I get the money back again?"

After a few questions, it was obvious that he was moved.

Lin Yishi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a brisk tone: "Of course it's true, otherwise he wouldn't have passed the exam himself as a scholar. You must know that the Master's evaluation of him is not as good as mine."

Lin Han finally felt relieved.

It's just that my heart has just let go, and I have some headaches.

Thirty taels of exam questions plus fifteen taels of other fees, this time I have to take out close to fifty taels from my pocket.

Now the family only has less than 30 ounces of wealth, how to get the remaining money?

Is it really possible to sell the land?

At night, Lin Han and Mrs. Lin were discussing. When they heard that they wanted to sell the farmland, Mrs. Lin immediately disagreed: "No, you don't even have to look at the house, there are only a few acres of farmland. If we sell it, we will drink the northwest wind in the future?"

Lin Han's face sank.

Mrs. Lin saw the anger of the boss, but she had to bite the bullet and say, "It's good to pass the test, but what if you fail the test like the first three times?"

Not to mention selling the land, she didn't plan to sell the 30 families in the family.

If they don't win, and the money is gone, the fields are gone, how will they live?

When Mrs. Lin saw that the head of the family didn't speak, she came up with an idea: "Why don't we go to Dahe and the two brothers? Didn't they make a fortune, just to let them make money."

Lin Han glared at her, "They will give it?"

of course not.

Mrs. Lin also knew this, but she didn't want to pay for it herself.

When the two elders were at a stalemate, there was a turning point.

Lin Dahu came back with the Liang family, and as soon as he entered the house, he took out a purse from his pocket, with a smile all over his face: "This time I earned 10 taels, you can keep the money for your parents."

"So many?" Mrs. Lin rushed forward first, holding a treasure of ten taels of silver ingots.

Lin Dahu changed his previous desperation and became loyal. He didn't care much and said, "Not much, it's because I didn't get enough principal this time, otherwise I could earn more in exchange."

Lin Dahu felt embarrassed when there was a scandal in the village before. Just when Mrs. Liang said she had a way to make money outside, she desperately asked her parents for two taels of silver to go out.

For the return of today's scenery.

The Liang family is no longer as poor as she used to be, and her waist is very straight. The money was earned by her way. I don't believe that these Lin family members can do anything to her in exchange.

While the others were looking at the silver ingots, Mrs. Liang sneered at Mrs. Huang, and placed her hand on Lin Dahu's shoulder in front of her, revealing the fine silver bracelet on her wrist.

Huang clenched his teeth angrily, "What are you wearing on your wrist?!"

When everyone heard it, their eyes fell on Liang's wrist.

The men of the Lin family didn't think there was anything, but Mrs. Lin was not happy when she saw it, and a flat wife actually wore a silver bracelet instead.

Being stared at by everyone, Liang was not afraid, but gently pushed Lin Dahu and whispered softly: "Xiang Gong."

Lin Dahu reacted and took out a slightly thicker silver bracelet from his pocket, "Mother, this is for you. Lian'er said that if you earn money, you must honor and honor you first."

Madam Lin was even more happy when she saw it, and she no longer had any previous dissatisfaction with Shang Liang's eyes.

Only Mrs. Huang was so angry that her chest hurts. Previously, the child's father took care of the **** Liang's. Now that he can make money, his parents will definitely favor her.

But fortunately.

She has a son instead.

As if he knew what Mrs Huang was thinking, Mrs Liang said, "I heard that the county exam will be held in March. My husband and I have worked hard to see if we can earn some money for him to take the exam."

After saying this, everyone's eyes changed.

Even Lin Yishi, who was extremely disdainful of Liang's family, couldn't help but feel some goodwill, "Thank you, little girl."

Liang Shi smiled lightly, and gave Huang Shi another smug look.

Lin Han called the two of them into the room and asked carefully what was the way to make money. Finally, he learned that the more money he invested, the more money he could earn. When he thought of the fifty taels of silver that Shige needed, Lin Han hesitated. After two days, with the consent of the family members, he gave Lin Dahu all his 30 taels of wealth.

The day Lin Dahu took the money, he took Liang to the town to earn money.

And Mrs. Lin dangled around the village with that thick silver bracelet every day. Some people saw it just fine. If no one saw it, she would roll up her sleeves and show it on purpose.

When asked, he said that it was Dahu's filial piety, and by the way, he demeaned the two sons with no conscience.

But now, the two brothers Lin Dahe and Lin Qi are really not the sons of Mrs. Lin, they can only be regarded as nephews of the same clan.

Lin Qi didn't feel anything about these demeaning words.

Lin Dahe couldn't hear it. Anyway, he had money in his hand. He simply found someone and bought some good materials to overhaul the graves of Lin De and the old carpenter.

Very elegantly done.

When Lin and his family heard this, they were extremely grateful for the decision they made at that time.

Regardless of whether Lin Dahe is for the Lin Han family, or for other reasons, it is his dead elder brother who will benefit anyway.

Days go by.

One day, Lin Dahe suddenly knocked on the door of the study. Because the exam was approaching, if there was nothing important, the family would not take the initiative to come to the study to disturb Lin Qi.

Lin Qi put down the book and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Come in."

Lin Dahe pushed open the door, and when he saw the movements of the third brother, he couldn't help but worry: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Every day he went to town early in the morning and returned in the middle of the night in exchange for staying in the study room to read books. He really felt that reading was not something that people did.

Lin Qi also experienced the hard work of a reader.

If it wasn't for the golden finger, he really wouldn't be able to hold on to it now.

"It's okay, I'll go to sleep after reading these pages."

Lin Dahe was relieved, and then said his intention, "I just heard Lin Heshu say that the old man is going to sell the farm."

Lin Han was paying attention to them, and they naturally paid attention to that too.

Especially when Mrs. Lin showed off all over the village, Lin Qi had long known that Lin Dahu took Liang to the town to make money, and the money he earned was for Lin Yishi to take the exam. He didn't believe that Lin Dahu could earn money at first.

Especially this kind of business that invests a lot of money, it is clearly a pit.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lin Qi wants to sell the land.

"Lin Dahu's business lost?" Lin Qi asked.

Lin Dahe shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't hear their family making a fuss, and the old man wasn't sad at all when he sold the land, and he even looked quite happy."

This is a bit strange. Farmers take their fields as their roots, and Lin Han not only does not feel reluctant to sell the fields, but is happy. There must be something else going on here.

However, no matter how curious Lin Qi was, he didn't plan to take care of it.

Lin Dahe said his intentions in the future, "You said, do we want to buy the fields in his hands?"

Wasn't the split family reluctant to give it to him at that time? Now that he bought it all with money, it's better to be angry with those people.

Lin Qi thought for a while, then shook his head: "Farewell."

Lin Dahu is unreliable in his work. Even if there is no accident now, it will happen sooner or later. If he buys the farm now, if something goes wrong in the future, the people of the Lin family will definitely make trouble. For the sake of cleanliness, even if you want to buy farmland, don't buy Lin Han's.

It's a little regretful, but Lin Dahe listened to his third brother instead.

I just didn't buy it, but I paid attention. Finally, I found out that one of Lin He's cousins ​​bought all the good fields of the old man. Because the price was not very good in a hurry, it seemed that it was forty taels of silver together.

Lin Dahe couldn't help shaking his head after hearing this.

Don't look at how much money this is, it's enough for a peasant family's lifetime expenses, but the old man and those people are big spenders.

After paying attention for two days, Lin Dahe didn't care anymore.

More than half a month before the county test, Lin Dahe prepared everything and planned to take Lin Qi to the county seat.

When someone asked curiously, Lin Dahe said what he had not said for more than two months, "My third brother is going to take the exam, and I will accompany him."

When he said this, he was shocked.

Lin Yishi went to the county town to take the exam a few days ago. This is nothing new to the people in the village, but Lin Qi is actually going to take the exam? If they remember correctly, it seems like it took a year for Lin Qi to start studying, right?

"Even if you make money, you shouldn't spend it indiscriminately. After all, you should study for a few more years before you go."

"That's right, there's nowhere to spend more money, isn't it?"

"It's a little too ambitious. It's so easy for you to change to take the exam?"

Some people persuade with kindness, some people have long been jealous and took the opportunity to slander, and a group of people gathered around and said anything.

Lin He, who didn't intend to show up, couldn't stand it. He took his brothers and squeezed into the circle and said to the others, "They want you to intervene in their family affairs? It doesn't matter whether he passes the test or not, as long as Lin Qi is willing to test that Just try, it's not spending your money, what qualifications do you have?"

After saying this, and looking at the strong men standing beside him, no one dared to make a sound.

In Lin He's veins, there are not many things, just a lot of men, so change to special protection.

Seeing that Lin Dahe and Lin Qi were adopted to his dead brother, they began to protect him.

At the beginning, Lin He actually wanted to persuade him, but as soon as he said this, he persuaded himself. As he said, the money was spent on these two brothers, and it had nothing to do with their farts. speak up?

So, he just patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too stressed, we are waiting for your good news in the village."

After talking about it, the two brothers got on the ox cart and went to the town. After picking up Zhang Weng, they headed towards the county seat.

In the village, Lin Han just sneered when he found out, it would be useless for that **** to go, anyway, he was the master who couldn't pass the test.

Madam Lin rolled her eyes, and she said, "Isn't Mrs. Shi just before he left that someone wanted to marry a daughter-in-law for their child, just as the second and third are out, should we settle the marriage first?"

Lin Yishi didn't say that.

He was saying at the time that there was a fool in another village who wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and the family was willing to pay twenty taels as a dowry. The requirement was that the daughter-in-law must be beautiful.

Don't say anything else, she looks really good.

Mrs. Lin had planned to talk to Lin Qi before, but in her opinion, it was just a girl's film, and Lin Qi would never refuse if she could exchange twenty-two betrothal gifts.

Now that the person leaves, she will take the dowry first, and whether it will be given to Lin Qi will be another matter.

Lin Han didn't think this thing could be done, but he also held out some hope. Anyway, the family, except for the Xu family, were all juniors, so maybe they could really handle this thing well.

Then he nodded, "Sure, go and talk about your tone first."

Mrs. Lin went with hope.

Then…

He was beaten out by Mr. Xu with a broom.

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she couldn't beat her. Mrs. Xu put all her resentment over the years on the broom, and her posture was not so fierce.

Madam Lin couldn't stand it at all, so she could only scold and limped back home.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time she cursed loudly, "That **** of Mrs. Xu, how dare you hit me? This is a rebellion!"

Lin Han frowned when she saw her dejected appearance: "She beat you?"

"Isn't that true?" Mrs. Lin became angrier the more she thought about it, "No, I can't just let it go. I have to tell the village chief that I will expel her from the village!"

Just when she was going to complain to the village chief, Lin He brought countless people and the Xu family towards this side, looking at all of them with fierce expressions, obviously looking for trouble for some people...
