Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Hearing this, Qiao Sihai turned around and pulled his mother forward: "Mom, let's go to the front and have a look. It's more lively over there."

Seeing that the old man was changing the subject, Mrs. Qiao broke away from his hand angrily and stopped where she was:

"Fourth Brother, whatever scripture you have is already in such a state of decay. I see that you treasure it so much that I often take it out and read it. The book is worn to pieces in many places and I can't even read the words clearly. A few days ago I I also saw you secretly wiping away tears from your heartache! If you like those books, let’s buy a few more! As for studying, we will find an academy for you after we settle down and save money. Now let’s buy books for ourselves. Let’s review first!”

Qiao Sihai didn't expect that his mother would see him wiping away tears because he felt sorry for the book, and she would also say it in front of everyone. He was a little embarrassed.

But when I heard my mother say that she wanted to buy books for herself, and also said that she would find an academy for him to continue studying in the future, I felt moved again.

But he also knew that they were on the road to escape, so how could they have any money?

The money he got from fighting bandits and bullies on the road, and the money earned by Ranran, her second brother, her third brother, and Qiao Dong from hunting and selling game and skins had to be kept to buy food and to settle down at the destination. How could it be used for him? Buy those expensive books that can’t be used as food?

He quickly pulled on Mrs. Qiao's sleeve and whispered: "Mom, I don't need to buy books. My books can still be used. It's not a problem."

Mrs. Qiao knew what her son was thinking. She just didn't want to cause trouble to the family and waste the family's money on buying books for him.

She said: "You don't have to worry about money. We have saved more money along the way than our family has earned in the past decades of hard work. We still have enough money to buy you a few books. Mom went to the city this time and brought thirty Two, these twenty taels are for you. You go in and pick out any books you want. As long as you buy books that are useful for the scientific examination, your family will not have any objections."

"My husband has said that you are good material for studying. Before your father died, he was asking you to take the exam and get a good reputation. Mother doesn't want to delay you. She just hopes that you can remember that the money you spent to study is the hard work of your family." Whatever you earn, don't forget to repay your brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces when you get rich in the future. Even if I go underground, I can still be worthy of your father and the ancestors of the Qiao family."

Qiao Sanhu also stepped forward and persuaded: "Yes, fourth child, mother is right. As long as you can make a difference and get a good name, our whole family can benefit from it. You don't have to worry about money, we are very happy." I'll be able to settle down soon, and then I'll go to the city to find a job, and I'll have everything you need to repair and eat at home."

When Qiao Sihai heard this, he felt even more guilty.

"Third brother, you and my eldest brother and my second brother have been responsible for my maintenance and the food and supplies of my family these years. Since there has been no news from my eldest brother, the burden on your and your second brother's shoulders has become heavier. Not only can I not share your worries , I still feel bad that I have spent so much money on my family. Now that we have not settled down yet, there are still many places where we need money, so there is really no need to spend money on books for me. The money will be reserved for buying food and settling in when the time comes. Come on! This big family of more than ten people will cost a lot of money! When the time comes, I will also go to the city to find a job copying books and share it with my family."

Qiao Sanhu saw that his fourth brother was a grateful person, and he was very satisfied if he could remember the contributions of himself and his eldest and second brothers.

He said: "I also saw it. Several of your books are torn through. I really can't read them. Don't think too much. Mom said that her family has money, so she must have it. Go in and buy books. We'll be there I’ll wait for you outside.”

Chen Huiniang and Lin Guizhen also smiled and nodded to their brother-in-law, indicating that they also agreed that he should go in and buy books.

Qiao Sihai didn't know how much money his family had. He was really afraid that his mother and third brother were comforting him. He didn't want to add a burden to his family.

Qiao Ran saw several people pushing and shoving at the door of the bookstore, which had attracted the attention of some people in the bookstore. She stepped forward and pulled her fourth uncle into the bookstore.

"Ranran, you..."

Qiao Sihai didn't expect that his eldest niece would pull him into the bookstore without saying a word. He raised his feet and wanted to walk out the door, but Qiao Ran grabbed him and whispered in his ear:

"Fourth uncle, you don't have to worry about running out of money. I have a lot of money here! I know the four books and five classics that you need to take the imperial examination. You only have two books and one classic, and you have read them all to pieces. Those books They can all be replaced with new ones, let’s see if there is a complete set here and buy a complete set!”

Qiao Sihai's eyes widened in shock: "Shhh! Ranran, do you know how many taels of silver those books cost? We can't afford them, so let's go!"

Qiao Sihai just thought that Qiao Ran didn't know how expensive those books were and thought they were just some snack money.

In order to avoid being laughed at by others and embarrassing Ran Ran, he grabbed Qiao Ran's sleeve with his backhand and took her out.

Qiao Ran gave him a mysterious smile: "Fourth uncle, believe me, I really have a lot of money. Go pick out books! I'm afraid things are more expensive in the capital, so it's better to buy them here."

Before Qiao Sihai could say anything, a sneering voice came from behind: "Where did you come from, a country bumpkin? He looked like a poor guy with his legs dressed like this. Did he go to the wrong place? This is a bookstore, not a big meat dumpling for you to buy. The place!"

Qiao Ran turned around and saw a young man wearing a green brocade robe standing behind her.

The man was dressed in rich clothes and looked like a human.

But on that overindulged face, the dark circles under his eyes were so thick that it was difficult to ignore them.

The boy next to him held several books in his hands and followed him step by step. The two of them seemed to have already picked out the books and were about to check out.

As a result, when he passed by Qiao Ran and the two of them, he saw their attires that were incompatible with the atmosphere of the bookstore, and smelled the smell of big meat buns and some cheap street food on them, so he mocked them with contempt. .

The boy next to him also laughed in agreement, his dog-legged face full of contempt for these two mud-legged people.

Qiao Ran knew that no matter which dynasty you were in, no matter where you were, there were always villains who looked down upon others.

She doesn't want to have any more entanglements with this kind of person. Her family is still waiting outside!

She grabbed her fourth uncle's sleeve and walked towards the bookshelf, asking him to pick out the books first.

The man refused to give up, and said angrily from behind:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so shameless! A man and a woman alone don't find a good place for a date, so they treat this bookstore as an inn or a wild shop? This is not a place for you to fool around!"

The man deliberately spoke in a high voice, and his sharp and obscene voice made everyone in the bookstore look over curiously.

Those who heard the man's words clearly looked at Qiao Ran and Qiao Sihai with strange eyes.

The two of them were tugging at their sleeves, and they really seemed to be tugging at each other.

After hearing the man's words and seeing the meaningful looks from everyone, Qiao Sihai, a scholar, was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

It's okay to bully him, but it's not okay to bully his eldest niece!
