Ge Dabing said this with a self-deprecating smile.

Wishful thinking is just wishful thinking.

"Why don't you find a job in the city? Waiting tables in a shop, or doing manual labor? Why do you have to beg?"

At the beginning, the old beggar took Shen Qingxu and Xu Xingyi to beg because he was old and didn't want to move.

Second, Shen Qingxu and Xu Xingyi are still too young, and they cannot be left without someone by their side.

But Ge Dabing and others looked to be only in their thirties and had all their limbs intact.

They can find work to do.

With so many of them, I believe their lives will get better soon.

At least, we don’t have to live like this anymore, with no food to eat.

Ge Dabing smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Working? Ha, if this were the old Linjing County, I would think that working would allow one to survive."

"I haven't been a beggar since I was a child. I have attended a private school for a few years and passed the county examination. Although my family is not very wealthy, we can live on a few acres of good farmland." A trace of pain flashed in Ge Dabing's eyes.

"Tongsheng? Why did you end up like this?"

Shen Qingxu was extremely shocked. The teachers said that the most arrogant character of scholars is arrogance.

They would rather starve to death than eat charity.

This is the pride that is engraved in the bones of literati!

"Oh, I remember when I took the provincial examination with the son of the county governor, he thought that my family was common and not an official, so I was not worthy of studying! Only the sons of officials could study."

“He tried to drive me back home several times, but to no avail.”

"After the results of the provincial examination were announced, I won first place, but that person failed."

"He was filled with hatred and actually asked the county governor to accuse my father of stealing government silver!"

"God knows, my father works on the farm at home every day and has never been anywhere. How could he possibly steal government silver?"

"My father was arrested, and my mother cried every day. I tried every way to ask for help, and wanted to meet with the local supervisor to seek justice for my father. Who would have thought that three days later, I heard that my father committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

"My mother couldn't bear the shock and hanged herself at home."

"All my family's property was confiscated. If the neighbors hadn't asked me to disguise myself as a beggar and leave at night, I would have been tortured to death by the county governor."

"Later, Lingjing County posted a notice to capture me. I had no choice but to hide my identity, disguise myself as a beggar, and wait for the storm to pass. It was also at that time that I met this group of brothers. Because I could read a few words, they called me Big Brother."

Shen Qingxu clenched his fists angrily.

This group of people is really going too far!

If you fail the exam, you will ruin other people’s families!

I don’t know how many similar situations there are!

"After the storm was over, I wanted to take my brothers to work and get rid of my beggar status."

"But who would have thought that after working so hard for a month, those people didn't even pay us! Even the daily meals were only two steamed buns!"

"My brother was so angry that he wanted to find the leader to argue with him, but he accused him of stealing and sent him to the government office."

"The county magistrate was indiscriminate and gave a ridiculous explanation. He said that even if the leader didn't pay us, we should look for the reason in ourselves. It must be because we didn't do a good job that we didn't get paid!"

“That brother was beaten to death.”

"Girl, how can you make a living by working?"

"How are we ordinary people supposed to survive in this world?!"

Ge Dabing turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Seeing Shen Qingxu crying with empathy, he knew that he could ask her for help in revenge, but he couldn't open his mouth. However, he had completely lost face and became a beggar here, just to seek justice!

Since ancient times, the people have been unable to defeat the officials, and ordinary people like them can only endure the injustice they suffer.

There is no way to sue, and officials and businessmen protect each other.

How to survive in this world.
