How did the second aunt do it?This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Mo Qingze remained silent, recalling some of the things that happened at his second uncle's house after his father and mother passed away. His memory went from far to near, from fuzzy to clear, and he found that some details that he had ignored in the past emerged in perfect detail. In the mind!

At that time, he had just passed the scholar examination, and at the urging of his second aunt, he married Du, a girl from a neighboring village. The next year he wanted to take the provincial examination, but his second aunt said that all the money left by his parents had been spent, and she did not give him the money to go to Fucheng.

Although he has not calculated it carefully, he also knows that the more than forty taels of silver left by his parents cannot be spent, not to mention that there are still five acres of paddy fields produced every year. Not to mention more, at least two taels of silver are available. , but he didn't want to think about it deeply, and would rather believe that the money was really spent by him.

So he started teaching in the town, earning one tael of silver a month. Three years later, after finally saving up enough money, the second aunt came to the school crying: "Zezhao, your second uncle is dying of illness. The doctor said he wanted to buy ginseng to make medicine. We don't have enough money at home. Please give us your money quickly." take it out."

With so many teachers and students watching, he could only smile and tell them not to take it to heart.

But he never expected that it would be A year later, his wife Du Shi took advantage of his absence, took away all the valuables in the house, left her three children and eloped with others!

Looking at his son who was waiting for food, his innocent daughter, his sarcastic second aunt, and the villagers who were laughing at the joke, he completely gave up the idea of taking the scientific examination and took care of the three children as both a father and a mother.

He wanted to return to his five acres of paddy field to plant it himself, but his second aunt firmly disagreed. She actually asked to take care of the three children and let him continue to return to the town to sit in the restaurant. He thought about it for a long time, and finally went to school. As soon as he got the monthly silver, his second aunt would come over and ask for nine hundred coins. He thought that with this money, the children would live a better life, so he gave it willingly every time.

But every ten days when he went home and saw the children getting thinner and thinner, he finally became suspicious, and quietly asked his eldest daughter, only to find out that the three siblings were only allowed to eat two small steamed buns a day, and Yan'er was only six years old. Washing dishes and washing clothes for a dozen people in the family.

Finally he couldn't bear it any longer, and finally ignored his second uncle's persuasion to stay and his second aunt's curse, insisting on moving out of the big tile-roofed house with his children and living in the dilapidated ancestral house.
