In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

"That's great!"

As soon as Lin Boyu got home, Liu sent him over to cook with Tian Ge'er. Only Lin Anru and his wife and Lin Shiyu were left in the lobby.

As soon as they sat down, Lin Anru told Lin Shiyu that he had sold the prescription to Mr. Hong.

"Of course it's true. We have received the first payment." Lin Anru said, shaking the silver note in his hand.

Lin Shiyu took it out of curiosity. It was two silver notes with a face value of one hundred yuan each.

After seeing the so-called silver note, she was no longer curious and handed the silver note to Liu who was equally curious.

The two light pieces of paper seemed as heavy as a pound to Liu, and her hands began to tremble as she held them.

At the beginning of the year, they were still worried about having a few more copper coins to buy eggs for their children to nourish their bodies. At the end of the year, let alone eggs, they could even eat meat for several months in a row.

"Okay, great."

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Liu put the money back into Lin Shiyu's hand:

"Keep it safe and don't lose it."

Lin Anru had no objection to his wife's actions, but asked his daughter one more question:

"Where are you going to spend the money?"

Lin Shiyu handed the two banknotes to Lin Anru without hesitation:

"One hundred taels of it will be given to you first. Your education will cost a lot. In addition to writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, you also need to follow up on social interactions."

Being a lone wolf is not feasible in officialdom, at least not for Lin Anru.

Lin Anru frowned and put one hundred taels of silver into his pocket. All of a sudden, he felt more stressed. He had invested so much in the early stage. What would he do if he failed the exam? !

"Dad, you have to work hard. This money is not for nothing. Let alone the future, I hope your name will be on the list of candidates for the Scholarship next year."

Lin Anru breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll try my best."

It's more stressful, but worth it.

There was nothing we could do if we didn’t have the conditions more than a decade ago. But now the conditions are so favorable, it would be unacceptable if we scored worse than before.

"The remaining one hundred taels should be exchanged for small change and copper coins at the bank. Half should be used to continue purchasing food, and the other half should be used for normal household expenses."

Next year's summer harvest will be a total failure, and then there will be all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, big and small.

The duration is unknown and the extent of the damage is unknown.

The textual descriptions in the book are only to highlight the hardships of the heroine's life, so as to pave the way for the heroine to leave the Lin family.

There is too little description of the disaster, accounting for less than one-tenth of the heroine's emotional drama.

She had no way to stop the natural disaster and could only try her best to prepare the supplies to deal with it under limited conditions.

As for family expenses, apart from the purchase of some precious medicinal materials needed for Liu's medicated food, their family has basically no other expenses.

"The family doesn't need that much, so save some for yourself." Liu objected.

"The share for home should be used at home. Take fifty taels from my one hundred taels and save it for you." Lin Anru also said.

The recipe belongs to Lin Shiyu, but she didn't get a penny from the money earned. How can this be ridiculous?

Their family has always earned money based on the principle of "the more you work, the more you get". After they learned about Lin Shiyu's life in another dynasty, they didn't want to let their daughter down even more.

"No, that's enough for now. You can give it to me next time. Anyway, there will be income from the prescription later. Let's focus on the family first."

Lin Anru and Liu wanted to talk more, but at this time Lin Boyu and Tian Ge'er came in with food, and the two of them tacitly stopped chatting.

Lin Boyu: …

I could hear the noise outside the door, but he stopped talking as soon as he came in. Is it because I am no longer a part of the family? ＜(。_。)＞

Lin Boyu was depressed.

Lin Boyu is full of fighting spirit.

"Dad, are you planning to take the exam for the scholar next year?"

"I have this plan, what's wrong?"

Lin Anru didn't intend to hide it from her son and answered directly.

"Then you have to do well in the exam." Lin Boyu reminded.

Lin Anru stared at him. Is this how to talk to your old father?

He replied indifferently: "Of course I will do well in the exam."

Lin Boyu straightened himself up to give himself courage: "If you fail to pass the exam next year, you will have to take the exam in the same room with me the year after next."

Why not the year after next? Because the academy examination is held twice every three years (to obtain the title of scholar), and the year after next is the provincial examination held once every three years, which is the autumn examination time.

The people present looked at him in surprise. Has he changed his character?

"Ha!" Lin Anru laughed, her eyes seeming to mock him for overestimating his own abilities: "You're boasting before you've even learned all the characters. Wait until you get the qualification to become a Tongsheng before you say that."

Lin Boyu felt guilty, but immediately said confidently: "Just because I haven't fully learned it now doesn't mean I won't be able to do it next year. I will start studying hard tomorrow... no, I will start studying hard tonight."

Lin Anru didn't comment on what he said and continued eating.

Lin Boyu didn't get a response so he turned his gaze to Liu and Lin Shiyu. The two pretended not to see anything and didn't even pause.

Only Tian Ge'er responded to him: "Cousin, you have such a good brain. As long as you spend more time, I believe you can recognize all the characters in less than three months, not to mention the year after next."

"Of course." He still had this confidence.

In fact, he had already learned how to read, but the examination for becoming a scholar was not about literacy.

Moreover, because he loved to play at that time, he did not learn many characters seriously, so he had to relearn them.

"You believe everything your cousin says. You are not as smart as your cousin. In just one month, he has learned to count within 100 and knows quite a few words. At least he knows much more than you did in the first month."

Liu, who was originally eating quietly, couldn't help it anymore. She put down her chopsticks and said.

Lin Boyu's eyes widened, he looked at Liu and then at Tian Ge'er, confirming the truth of the matter.

"Hey, hey, hey, no, no."

After being praised, Tian Ge'er's dark face became even darker, and he kept waving his hands to deny it.

How could he compare with his cousin, but he felt really good when being praised.

"My mother is right."

Lin Shiyu said this casually after swallowing the rice in her mouth.

This time, Brother Tian didn’t dare to wave his hand.

Lin Shiyu is his teacher, and everything she says is right.

Lin Boyu felt wronged.

Lin Boyu clenched his fist.

Lin Boyu decided to fight tonight until dawn.

The dinner ended with Lin Boyu feeling mixed emotions.

As usual, Lin Boyu and Tian Ge'er were responsible for cleaning up the dishes, while Lin Anru and his wife and Lin Shiyu continued to chat in the lobby.

The topic of this conversation is the purchase of medicinal herbs. Lin Shiyu needs to clarify things with Lin Anru before proceeding to the next step.

"I already understand the situation. I will go to discuss it with the village chief tomorrow. You guys should get some rest early!"

Liu and Lin Shiyu got up to wash and rest, while Lin Anru lit the oil lamp and worked hard.

In another room, the oil lamp was also lit early.

Under the dark night sky, in the quiet house, two lights remained on until late at night and were not turned off.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law Chang Lin had sent over a lot of lamp oil before, otherwise it would not be enough for both father and son.
