Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 122: The Lin Family Produces Scholars

Chu Erlang was naturally willing to marry Gu Xiaoshu, after all, he was really tired of being poor.

His mother was not engaged in production and was unwilling to let him open a private school. He just wanted to study, but he had no money to study and the family’s land had almost been sold.

It's horrible to think that a son of a scholar can't even eat enough or wear warm clothes, and even has to work in the fields.

Now he has the chance to marry into Lord Gu's family. Just thinking about it makes him happy. Once he marries into the family, he will be able to live a luxurious life.

If he hadn't been concerned about the man's reputation, he would have wanted to marry her right now.

Although I know he doesn't have much dowry, at least he can leave this family.

Sometimes he thought that if only his mother was not a scholar, she could do business.

Unfortunately, because his mother was a scholar, she didn't want the family to have any income and only cared about her own fame.

He felt that if he couldn't even afford to eat, what was the point of fame and honor? However, he felt really indignant when he thought about the good lives that other men with achievements and honors lived.

How could this be possible at home if his mother wasn't so aloof?

His eldest brother married into the poorest family in the village. Wasn't it because he had no dowry that no one looked down on them?

Although he didn't know why someone would fall in love with him and ask him to marry into the Gu family.

But he must seize this opportunity because it is a chance for him to change his destiny.

"Erlang's father came to talk to you."

Chu Erlang was embroidering a wedding dress at home. Looking at his father standing at the door, he felt very sad.

He was the husband of a scholar, and his clothes were ragged, his face was full of wrinkles, and even his hair was dry. This was because his family was too poor.

He knew that his father loved them, but the family was so poor that that was the reason.

"Dad, you are here. Come and sit down. I am embroidering my dowry."

"Erlang's family is sorry for you. They let you marry into the family with nothing but no dowry. You should live a good life in the Gu family and don't worry about it anymore."

This was all Father Chu could say. After all, he felt very guilty towards his child. If he had to rely on his in-laws to support his parents, how would his child survive?

However, although Chu Erlang heard what his father said, how could he ignore his father? After all, he was his family.

But how to manage it is still a problem. He should wait until he has gained a firm foothold in the Gu family.

He also found out that Lang Ke, the doctor of the Gu family, was a relative of the county magistrate.

This shows that his family is also rich and powerful, and he is just the son of a poor scholar. What qualifications does he have to show off in the Gu family?

As long as he is doing well in the Gu family, his parents' home will also be doing well.

"Dad, wait until I marry into the Gu family, and you guys live a good life. Let mom open a private school or copy books to make some money. Otherwise, how will the family survive? Besides, there are my sisters, and they have to live."

If Xiucai hadn't been his mother, he would have probably stopped caring about her long ago, but it's hard for his mother's family to say anything since they had raised him to this age.

Lin Wulang was quite satisfied with Gu Xiaoshu's two husbands.

Although his family was very poor, he was still a man of honor after all, so Lin Wulang was very excited about Gu Xiaoshu's wedding banquet.

"Husband, there's a letter from Meicheng."

Ding Miao handed a letter to Lin Wulang. When Lin Wulang opened it, he was very excited and smiled.

"That's great. My niece passed the exam and became a Tongsheng. A Miao, my Lin family will also be a farming and reading family in the future."

Ding Miao congratulated immediately upon hearing this: "Congratulations, husband. Congratulations, husband. The Lin family will definitely get better and better now that they have a scholar."

"Give our family three months' salary. Let's celebrate together. I will tell my wife when she comes back."

Lin Wulang always felt that the Lin family's background was not very good and the family was too poor. It was only after he started doing business with Gu Yao that he could afford to marry a wife and buy a house.

His daughters had also gone to school before, but most of them were unable to continue their studies and ended up working in the accounting office.

Now, one of his nieces finally passed the examination to become a student, and she will definitely pass the examination to become a scholar in the future. No longer will the Lin family be laughed at and said to be digging for food in the fields.

Father Gu and his family were also very happy to receive the news. Fortunately, the Lin family had a scholar, and he and Lin Liulang's family background was also impressive.

He had heard that both of Gu Xiaoshu's husbands were sons with official titles, and he felt happy but also a little sad.

His daughter was a legitimate official, but the young men and servants at home all came from poor families, which made him a little dissatisfied.

So what if she is not satisfied? She still has to live on. She can't divorce them all just to marry someone from a better family. After all, she has to consider her seven children.

Now that the Lin family has a scholar, it is not shameful.

As long as they take their time, they will definitely be able to pass the examinations and become Juren or Jinshi.

Then he said to the servant beside him: "Go to the storehouse and pick out some good things to send to the first and second husbands. Since it is a happy event for the Lin family, I will give two months' salary to the whole service, and ask the kitchen to make a good meal tonight for us to celebrate."

Gu's father is rich now, so he is generous. After all, it is a happy event for their Gu family and the Lin family, so he must give them face and make the family happy.

When Han Yuqing heard about the happy news of the Lin family, he sighed sadly: "Xiao Lan, it would be great if the Han family could also produce scholars, but it's a pity that it will take two generations."

Xiaolan said immediately after hearing this: "It doesn't matter, my dear. After two generations, the Han family can change its family. And as long as our young lady studies hard in the future, she will definitely make you famous."

Xiaolan also knew that this incident made Han Yuqing feel unbalanced, but she had to accept it no matter how unbalanced she was, because the Han family was a reward household.

Gu Yao came back in the evening and heard the good news. She smiled and said, "That's great, A-Lu. Your niece has achieved success. The Lin family will get better and better in the future. We will become a family of scholars. But you have to let her study hard. Even if she becomes a student, she can't be so high-profile. Wait until she passes the imperial examination."

For these children from poor families, being too high-profile will always make people hate them.

After all, if you don't have the skills and abilities, you must keep a low profile first, and swallow the good things first. This is the right thing to do.

Lin Wulang thought the same and said with a smile: "I have already written a letter to my family and sent it over. I believe my grandma and grandpa must know about it."

And they also sent a lot of good things. Now Lin Wulang has a lot of private things. Moreover, Gu's father also sent a lot from the public. Almost two large carts were sent to the Lin family.

"I'll ask Xiaoshu to pick out a few good books and send them to the Lin family later. It's also a token of my appreciation as an aunt."

She has quite a lot of books. Since she became able to afford it, she has bought a lot of miscellaneous books.

I brought a lot of things with me when I came to Shicheng this time, and I also bought a lot of books here.

It can be said that her study is almost full of books, so it’s okay to pick some and give them to others.
