Chapter 38:

The room was so quiet, no one spoke.
Talking at this time, it is a rafter who is in the beginning, absolutely not pleased, so no one in the room spoke.
Father Yang's pattering sound of smoking dry cigarettes suddenly became clear in the room, and the air seemed to freeze. Gradually, even a person's breathing can be heard with a little emphasis.
He's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he gradually panted.
"You guys are saying something?!" Her sharp voice sounded like thunder in the quiet room.
The sons and wives sitting below you look at me and I look at you.
Elder Yang knocked on the pot on the kang table, was silent for a while, and finally said, "Boss, come on."
Yang Tieshuan couldn't hide, he straightened up, and said with a smiley face, "Father, what do you want me to say?"
"Just tell me what you think about this, is it feasible?"
Grandpa Yang couldn't make up his mind for a while, after all, the amount of money involved was too large, and their family was not a rich family, just a countryman who was digging in the soil. There is not much silver that can fall into the hands all year round, 50 taels of silver-that is to tighten the belly for several years without eating or drinking.
Before Yang Tieshuan could speak, He was the first to speak, her tone of voice was always arbitrary and domineering.
"Then there is nothing I can't see! The fourth child's business is the biggest thing in our family, and this must be done."
There was a moment of silence. Since He said so, what else could others say.
Constant silence--
He looked at his sons and daughters and did not say anything for a long time, and finally lost his breath. "What do you all mean, why are you sitting there and not screaming? Protest against my old lady, right?"
Yang Tieshuan was also bored with the situation before him, and he could go out to play cards for a while at this time. I saw him speak impatiently, "Mother, you said that, what else do you want us to say?"
Yeah, what else do you let others say? This is the voice of most people in the room.
Lin Qingwan felt very happy when she heard this. That is, you say that Yang Xuezhang's affairs are the biggest thing in the family, and you don't let others look at it. What do you want others to say?
He was immediately thrown down by his eldest son's anger, so he didn't talk nonsense with his sons at all, and said directly: "50 taels of silver, you can see how much your family has come out!"
This is the main purpose of Mr. Yang and He's collecting their accounts.
The room suddenly exploded, and no one would do anything when it came to money. In fact, it was Yang Tieshuan and Wang's couple who had blown up the pot. The two-bedroom and three-bedrooms had been sitting there pretending to be wood from the beginning, until now He said that they wanted to share the money per room, but they still sat there without speaking.
Like this time, whoever loses his breath first is the rafter in his head.
The decisive Dafang couple was notoriously unsatisfied in the Yang family, and Wang jumped up as soon as He finished speaking.
"Mother, you are killing you? 50 taels of silver for three houses? Where do we have so much money?!"
Yang Tieshuan stood up irritably and kicked the stool under his buttocks.
"Mother, you can just sell our whole family!"
Seeing the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law look like this, He was so angry that he pointed at them and couldn't speak for a long time.
Grandpa Yang spoke at this moment. He cleared his throat first, and then looked at where he was sitting in the second room and the third room.
"The second and thirdest, what do you two think?"
Yang Tiezhu glanced at Mr. Yang, and muttered, "Father, I'm the only dear, where can I still find money?"
Yang Tiegen saw that his second elder brother had spoken, and then he paused.
"Father, do I have any talent, you don't know?"
Old man Yang sighed. He really knew that when the second child got married last time, the family didn't give him a penny, it was all the money the second child got himself.
As for the youngest couple, Yang's family is the most struggling.
Yang Tiegen was honest, and the He family held him tightly, saying that the extra money earned was only half of the money, but every time Yang Tiegen returned from odd jobs outside, the He family had to take almost all the money. Yang Tiezhu was the same, but Yang Tiezhu had less burden at that time and had no children and a wife, which was much better than Yang Tiegen. Among the three sons of the Yang family, only Yang Tieshuan could get some silver from He's eyelids, but after Yang Tieshuan's slack farming, he would always do odd jobs for three days and two days of fishing, so he could get very little money.
Mr. Yang sighed heavily without speaking.
He jumped up at this time, jumped three feet high on the kang, and started cursing directly.
The first to bear the brunt is Yang Tiezhu.
He only needs to train three sons at home, so whether it is Yang Tiezhu's fault or not, he is the first to bear the brunt.
"You don’t have the silver. What did you show off when you got married? You were hired and given a gift, as if you were a wealthy landlord... and your boss, you don’t have the silver. You go around with people every day, every day. I also bet on the Ye Zi Opera... and you, the third child, every time my old lady asks you for some money, you cried and mourned. Does the old lady owe you something or something..."
It is true that Yang Tiezhu is not treated by He at home, but if he meets Yang Xuezhang, the precious son He cares about most, then even Yang Tieshuan has to stand aside, let alone Yang Tiegen. So at this time, He scolded the three sons without mercy at all.
But no matter how He scolded, the three sons kept their heads stuck in silence. Yang Tiegen did not speak because he really had no money, Yang Tieshuan did not speak because he still wanted to save some money to go out for fun, and the reason Yang Tiezhu did not speak was because in his heart, since all the money had been given to his wife, it was not his. , So he has no money.
Later, Yang Tieshuan was annoyed by his mother's scolding and began to rebut...
As soon as He saw the eldest son fighting her, the focus of the abuse turned to Yang Tieshuan, Wang couldn't see it, and stood up to defend the man. So that He finally scolded her together...
Old man Yang sat there with his head suffocated and smoked dry cigarettes, exerting a lot of energy, and he didn't know who he was pushing hard at whom, as if he could extract gold from the dry cigarettes.
Suddenly, he throbbed and choked, coughing vigorously, as if to cough out his lungs. He was still swearing there, and the sharp voice pierced Mr. Yang's temple.
He stood up suddenly in a rage, threw the dry pipe in his hand, and the pipe slammed on the door with a bang.
The people in the room immediately calmed down, stopped making trouble, and looked at Old Man Yang in shock.
Old man Yang's face looked even older in the dim light. His black and red face was full of ravines, but someone who was only 50 years old had a 60-year-old attitude. At this time, his face was slightly distorted, but his eyes were full of fatigue...
"Still noisy? Still noisy? Can noisy solve the problem?"
Grandpa Yang's sudden anger frightened everyone and also frightened the He family. He fell on the kang and closed his mouth. Perhaps because of the excessive force just now, his chest was still undulating.
Yang Tieshuan and Wang stood there blankly, and didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, Old Man Yang slowly said, "Fourth, you can talk about it--"
Everyone's eyes suddenly moved to Yang Xuezhang, who was sitting there from beginning to end, where any clan was clamoring for her to come forward--
Lin Qingwan suddenly despised this bookish man.
18 years old, 18 years old should be called a man, many men as old as Yang Xuezhang are married, and they have taken up the burden of the family early. And he, still ignorant of Bai Xue, was studying there, hiding in the protective shell that He had erected for her, spending his family's money on food provided by his family, and he looked superior and contemptuous of everyone.
Lin Qingwan knew that Yang Xuezhang had passed the exam more than once, and it was no secret in Luoxia Village. But an adult man, even failing several times in the exam, still didn't know that he was still thinking about it, and he didn't stop at all to check whether it was his own reason...
Some people are not suitable by nature, then they are not suitable. Why don't you see yourself clearly, and then change your path?
Lin Qingwan didn't know how to take the exam for scholars, but she had read a post like this in her last life, "On the ancient scholars and the civil servants today". Specifically, she didn’t look at it in detail, but only looked at the conclusion, that is, in ancient times, the examination of talents was not easier than the examination of civil servants in the present world. Ten thousand people went to squeeze such a single-plank bridge, some people squeezed past, and some people squeezed. But to go, some people can’t squeeze past and still don’t give up, and some people just change their way...
Lin Qingwan's thoughts still bear a deep mark of past lives, and some modern people are flexible and agile, so she can't understand people's thoughts at this time.
‘Everything is inferior, only good at reading’, this is the ideological fetter of many people here. Therefore, she knows all roads lead to Rome, but the Yang family does not understand, Yang Xuezhang does not understand, He does not understand, and Mr. Yang does not understand. Otherwise, at this time, Mr. Yang and the He family wouldn’t have collected them all here...
In fact, after he came, Mr. Yang understood what Lin Qingwan meant when he spoke. What makes a decision? It's actually taking money. If you need to make a decision, will all of them be called together to discuss it? Only when I move this mind can I have the current situation...
Yang Xuezhang stood up straight, behind one hand, a posture of a master asking him to answer questions.
He poses, and may feel that the people's eyes make him extremely uncomfortable. He changed his standing position, then cleared his throat and said, "I..."
‘I’ didn’t say a word for a long time. It may be that Grandpa Yang’s sudden roll call made him not prepared to say it.
Finally, Yang Xuezhang blushed and left a sentence, "I think this is an opportunity for our family" After speaking, he hurriedly sat back on the Kangjiao.
Opportunity for our family? This hat is really big!
After Yang Xuezhang sat there, he might also feel that what he said just now was very unconvincing. After thinking about it, he added another sentence. "If you get caught this time, you will not only save your family a lot of land tax, but you can also have a place that is exempt from labor. If you are a scholar, you can also sit in a restaurant and earn some money for your family. Of course, if you are caught, The court will also issue rice grains and silver coins."
It seems that Yang Xuezhang didn't read him stupidly, and he knew that he would draw a cake for everyone first. As for whether there will be biscuits at that time, let's talk about it then.
Lin Qingwan is not sure whether this statement has convinced others. But she knew that she at least convinced Mr. Yang and the He family.
When He heard the description given to her by her son, her face turned red with excitement. Lin Qingwan looked at her sharp eyes and the corners of her eyes twitched, and Father Yang's hands began to shake.
It's not that Mr. Yang is so vain, but that this is something deeply ingrained in his thinking-that is, Guangzong Yaozu. There is finally a person with status in the family, and the most important thing is to be tax-free. Although Daxi's tax was not heavy, it was not light. It could be exempted, and a lot of food could be saved in a year.
These points deeply stimulated the brain nerves of this old man. When he thought that his son could be a talent, his blood swelled...
