Chapter 565
Chapter 565
“The Master asked us to sell some books…”
Both of them reacted very quickly, and when they realized what they said was different, they both shut up at the same time.
It was still Su Yuanren who summarized it and said:
"We have to take the Tongsheng exam and buy books. I have also been unwilling to give us money for a long time before. We had no money to borrow some money from the county school. The messy ones add up, and at least ten taels..."
Mrs. Su had no doubt about the words of the two, she was just worried about where the ten taels of silver came from.
That's ten taels of silver, not a small amount!
But she didn't want to ruin her two sons' journey to the imperial examination, and she didn't want Rong Hua to lose her wealth in the future.
She thought with a calm face for a long time and asked again:
"You go find your elder sister, don't she want to come back?"
Su Yuanren shook his head and said with some anger in his heart:
"My elder sister is not here, she said she is going to the county to buy things."
He also said: "Five taels of silver are not allowed to be spent. When she went to the county, she probably won't have much left when she came back. Mom, our family has no money, and my elder sister can't count on it. What should we do? Can't we go to school in the future?"
"Nonsense! You two were born to be a good source of study. What would you do if you don't study? I can count on you two in the future."
Old Woman Su glared at him and shouted fiercely.
But she felt very distressed, "Ten taels of silver, where did she get ten taels of silver?"
She spoke tentatively to her sons:
"Son, have your classmates borrowed it? Mom remembers that your relationship has always been very good. If you speak, you should be able to borrow it."
When the two of them heard this, their faces sank.
The gloomy face made them look distorted.
They wanted to borrow, but...
I don’t know what happened this time. Several noble men who had a good relationship with them in the past suddenly ignored them.
Even if they were expelled from the county school and begged them, they would not help.
They were forced to come back.
Even if I owe ten taels of silver this time, it is related to them.
They had no money on them and were expelled from the county school. They couldn't stay in the county, so they had to come back.
But they all knew that if they didn't pay back the debt, those people would come to their house sooner or later.
By then, their reputation will be completely ruined!
"Mom, are you making your son look shameless in front of your classmates? If you really borrow money from them, how can your son get along with them in the future? Wouldn't your son be so humble at that time?"
Old Woman Su felt most sorry for these two precious sons, and she didn't want them to be humble in front of her classmates.
Hearing them say this, he immediately compromised:
"Okay, okay, okay...If you don't lend it, let's not lend it, I'll find a way..."
But......
That was ten taels of silver, where did she borrow it?
Just as I was thinking, I saw Zou come back.
Old Woman Su's eyes rolled and she said directly: "Zou, you clean up and go back to her parents' home."
Zou was stunned: "Mom, why did you let me go back to your parents' home?"
Old Wives Su: "You go back to your parents' home to see if you can borrow some money? Your fourth and fifth brothers are in trouble. The county school student will not be able to pay the Shu Xiu." Old Wives Su explained patiently.
When Zou heard this, he became angry: "I won't go! Why should I let me go!"
Old Mrs. Su directly threatened: "If you don't go, when your fourth and fifth brothers take the exam and become high-ranking officials in the future, we will go to enjoy the happiness and you will stay in your hometown!"
