Chapter 6 Competition
The west room of the Shen family’s main house.
The fourth uncle Shen Mingxin stepped forward and pulled Feng, with a slightly reproachful tone: "Two sisters-in-laws are here. Why are you so ignorant as young people? Don't cry anymore. Let's stop discussing the admission matters. If Liu Lang has that fate, there will naturally be. If not, what's the use if you cry again?"
"If life is fought for by people, you will know that nothing will fight for."
Before Feng could finish his words, Shen Liulang, who was sitting in Shen Xi's head, was filled with tears in his eyes. He obediently pulled Feng's sleeve and whispered: "Mom, stop crying, just don't study."
Feng quickly put away his tears, gently touched his son's little head, and said, "Since the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law have talked about it, I won't say anything else, but no one wants me to give up."
The second wife Qian smiled as if she succeeded and said, "Sister, we didn't say we won't let you fight, but we are all family members. For such a big thing, we have to pay and work to support our children in the future. We can't just settle it casually, right? Let's discuss it again."
After talking, my aunt Wang, who was sitting next to me, smiled and said, "Don't be sad about the harmony. My child is admitted to school. Actually, I think the second wife Wulang Yongqi is more suitable, but since you have said that, I won't say much."
Before Wang could finish his words, Shen Xi's mother had an attack. She stood up suddenly, pointed at Wang's nose and asked angrily: "Sister-in-law, do you think my little son has no chance to enter school at all?"
Wang quickly smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Sister, isn't this Xiaolang Xiao? If you don't listen to what you said just now, I'll pretend I didn't say it."
Zhou glanced at his second aunt not far away, snorted coldly, and sat down again angrily.
Half an hour later, the sky had completely darkened and the oil lamp was lit. Obviously, the family was planning to come for a long-lasting battle. However, the old lady finally opened her eyes and looked at her family who had been arguing endlessly, yawned and said, "How long has it been? You haven't settled yet? I've rusted my old bones."
The third wife, Sun, walked up to the old lady and tried to squeeze out her smile: "If my mother can't sit still, she will get up and move her muscles. If she is tired, go back to the room first to rest."
The old lady patted Sun's hand with a smile and said, "You, what are you talking about? Your Silang is already ten years old and has not yet been enlightened. Can he keep up with his studies? Besides, he is used to being naughty when he was young. Last time he took out the classics from his family and was so angry that I couldn't do it. Even if he asked him to go to a private school in the county, the teacher wouldn't accept such lazy students."
After a few simple words, Sun was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Shen Xi suddenly admired the old lady, but saw her sighing and her wrinkled hands tightly held Sun's hand: "Don't get involved this time, it's just right to give birth to a little grandson for me."
Upon hearing this, Sun lowered his head and said sadly: "Mom, I don't want to have children. I have no books to read after giving birth. I'd better not come to this world to suffer if I have a baby."
The old lady's face immediately became stern and scolded, "Why are you young people more confused than me, the old bones? No matter which child in our family becomes an official, they will never forget their ancestors!"
"The family is revived, are you still afraid that your children will suffer? At that time, it would be easy to arrange a casual sex for your Siro?"
Seeing that Sun was still a little unhappy, the old lady's face was right, she let go of her hand, and said seriously: "Don't think that studying is a good job. How many students in the world are really studying hard for decades. What's the end? She didn't get a good exam and failed her life. There are many poor people, and there are many people who are depressed for life."
"A ready-made example is in front of you. Dalang was admitted to the scholar in his twenties and had the food of the court. But so what? If the court did not pass the imperial examination, he would not sleep well and would not eat well."
"If you go to school, not to mention ten years, even fifty years, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. Unless you can pass the imperial examination and wait for the opportunity to make up for the vacancies, you will have no way to go before you can get a Jinshi and the glorious ancestors."
Sun's body trembled slightly. Today, the scene of the boss Shen Mingwen being forced into the attic still popping into his mind. Then the gloomy shouts came from time to time were almost crazy.
"Mom, I won't fight." Sun said with his head down.
"Okay, according to your own words, you will not be able to discuss the children of Chou Yin and Mao tomorrow. Among them, Liulang from the fourth family is talented, and Wulang from the second family usually likes to follow Yongzhuo's butt and should be able to read. There are also Xiaolang from the fifth family. There are only three, you can choose one from them."
After the old lady said that, she sat down again and looked at everyone with bright eyes.
After a long silence, the fourth room Feng looked at Shen Xi's mother and gritted his teeth: "Sister, I think Xiaolang is still young, can you give this opportunity to me first?"
Before she finished speaking, Zhou shook her head and refused: "Sister-in-law, Xiaolang is almost seven years old this year, and he is not young anymore."
Everyone turned their eyes to the old lady again, obviously waiting for her to speak.
Shen Xi looked at her grandmother, feeling uneasy, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only look at Li with his expectant gaze. In the afternoon, she went to the main room to listen to Li's family chatting, and also expressed her attitude of assisting her brother. He always wanted to see some results.
Shen Xi was also lucky. She was just acting cute. When the old lady happened to look at him. At that moment, the old lady smiled, and was silent for a moment. She looked at Feng, who had a nervous face, and then said: "I see that Xiao Lang's eyebrows are full of agility."
When Shen Xi heard this, he was overjoyed.
But the old lady's words did not seem to have the effect of yi's final sound. As soon as she finished speaking, the second wife Qian hurriedly said: "Mom, Xiaolang is so young, I think it would be more suitable if it were my Goro."
"Ha, I'll just talk about my opinion. For specific reasons, you should choose someone. I said that studying is not a day or night. It costs a lot to cultivate a scholar, so you can choose it. If you choose it, don't regret it!"
When Shen Xi heard this, his heart suddenly became cold. He looked at the dark-faced mother not far away, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
"I think my Liuro is suitable for studying."
Feng said incredibly. Seeing that his son had no hope, Sun, the third aunt next to him, nodded, and obviously stood with the fourth wife.
The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, choose Liulang for the third and fourth rooms. You should choose one for the first, second and first rooms."
Chen Xi lowered his head and sighed in secret.
Chen Xi understood that this time was a bad luck. Liulang now has two votes. Unless the second aunt Qian and the eldest aunt Wang can choose their own Wang, it may be possible, but why would the second aunt choose Wulang Yongqi?
As expected, Qian undoubtedly chose her own child. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to the Wang family, and her vote was crucial.
Chen Xi looked at her with innocent and expectant eyes, but Wang did not take care of Chen Xi's pitiful little eyes and resolutely decided to vote for Goro.
Chen Xi smiled bitterly and thought to himself that this person is really not missing the old love. He borrowed so much money from her family on weekdays, but he didn't invest in him, but instead invested in Lao Wu.
Just when Chen Xi was depressed and had nowhere to vent his feelings, he heard that his hot-hearted mother simply gave up and offended her. She was not unfamiliar with the fact that she was disgusted with the flow of favors. She looked cold and glanced at Wang and said, "I'll join Liulang."
The faint yi sentence attracted the gratitude of Feng's eyes of the fourth wife and the second wife Qian's protest: "Mom, look at her, her vote cannot be counted."
The old lady shook her head with a smile and said, "Okay, stop arguing. The youngest happened to be working in the Wang family in the county town. I have already written to him. I should have received it now. When he replied, I will leave the affairs of the county town to the youngest."
