Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Surprisingly, this time, her mother-in-law Liu looked at the things she brought and did not come over to take them immediately as usual.

Instead, he squinted his eyes and said sarcastically, "Hey, eldest brother's wife, what brings you here?

I didn't see you bringing anything good during the Chinese New Year, but now that you know He Yao has passed the imperial examination, you rush over!"

"The villain is successful! Look how proud she is!"

Looking at her sarcastic look, Xiao really wanted to turn around and leave.

But thinking about her grandson, Xiao took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Look at what you said, mother. I have done enough for the four seasons and eight festivals, and I have never missed anything for you. I came here today to look for my second uncle."

"Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?" He Yao walked out from the inner room.

"Uncle, come here. This is something good I brought you." Xiao put the thing on the table. "I heard that you passed the exam and I came to congratulate you. In addition, I want to discuss something with you."

"Cut~"

Liu snorted coldly: "I know you are just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. You have no good intentions! Tell me the truth, what bad idea do you have?"

Xiao ignored her mother-in-law's sarcasm and said directly: "Second uncle, I won't hide it. You also know that Bi'er failed the exam. He is smart. I want Bi'er to learn from you in the future."

He Yao knew that He Bi did not pass the examination for Tongsheng, but he was still somewhat surprised by his failure.

What the sister-in-law said was right, because in his opinion, his nephew Hebi had a quick mind and was a good candidate for study.

Although Mr. Huang in the school was a scholar before, he was old after all, and his thoughts were inevitably a bit pedantic and he did not know how to adapt flexibly.

If he continues to stay in the school, it will only ruin his future.

"Okay, then ask him to come over to my place at night!" He Yao agreed without thinking.

"Yao~" Liu wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

He must be her great-grandson, so of course she hopes the best for him.

Seeing that Liu was silent, Xiao knew that she had acquiesced. She did not say anything more to avoid any further changes in the situation, and quickly walked out.

……

It was three days later when the county magistrate sent the county yamen runners to the door, and they brought rewards. The Dazhi Dynasty attached great importance to people with knowledge and set up rewards for fame.

Anyone who passed the examination for a tongsheng would receive 15 taels of silver, and anyone who passed the examination for a xiucai would receive 35 taels of silver.

Magistrate Zhang knew that Xu Hao was also in Kaoshan Village at the moment, so he sent someone to bring his gift over as well. He also sent someone to send a letter to Prefect Xu to congratulate him.

He Yao passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. Liu was finally able to hold her head high. She had no idea how many times she had been laughed at behind her back in the past. But now that their He Yao was a scholar, who would dare to look down on him?

Now that Liu had dozens of taels of silver in her hands, she felt relieved. Her second son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He was nearly 30 years old, and it was time for him to start a family.

In the past, he was busy studying and didn't want to talk about this, plus he had no money. But now it's different.

As soon as Liu spread the news, Wu, the matchmaker from the neighboring Dahe Village, came to the door.

It is said that she is the daughter of Hu the butcher in their village. She is 22 years old, plump and beautiful, with a big butt and good childbearing ability. She is pretty good in all aspects.

Hu the butcher's family is well off, but the key is that he has only one daughter, and all his property in the future can be left to her.

Liu was not stupid. She thought that the girl was still unmarried at the age of 22, so no matter how good she was, there was a limit.

My son can't marry a girl from an ordinary family, and her appearance can't be too bad. At least she has to be from a wealthy family.

Sure enough, there is a reason why this girl is still unmarried at the age of 22. Besides being dark, she also has small eyes, thick lips, a flat nose and most importantly, she is very fat.

He was estimated to weigh more than 300 pounds and was sitting on the bed gnawing on a pig's trotter. He was so fat that he took up the entire bed and had difficulty even standing up.

When Liu Yao saw the girl, he turned around and left without saying a word, his face turning purple. Isn't this an insult?

Although I am almost 30 years old, I will never marry such a person.

The matchmaker Wu chased after him and was scolded by Liu. Liu squinted her eyes and said, "You are so mean, matchmaker Wu. I, He Yao, am a scholar. How can I marry such a piece of trash?

Let’s not talk about her appearance for now, just look at her body shape. She is said to be round and plump, with a big butt that is good for childbearing, but she can hardly stand up on her own, so whether she can give birth is another question!"

The butcher Hu also caught up with him, his fat face narrowed with a smile: "Sister, as long as your son marries my daughter, I don't need you to give a betrothal gift.

On the contrary, I will give you 50 taels of silver immediately, and from now on all my property will belong to your son."

"I bother!"

Liu's face turned red with anger and she spat. Although she loved money, she would not sell her son. She couldn't even eat just looking at the girl from the Hu family.

He smiled wryly and said, "Thank you very much. If I marry your daughter, no matter how much wealth you have, my son will not be able to enjoy it. You should keep your wealth well."

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news soon spread throughout Kaoshan Village, and many people were pointing fingers behind the back and laughing secretly with their hands covering their mouths.

Some matchmakers also tried to introduce some young girls to her, but Liu thought that the girls' families were too poor and not worthy of her son.

He Yao didn't feel anything after meeting a few people. In the end, he got tired of it and didn't want to look for anyone else anymore. He even threatened that he would stay single if he couldn't find the right one.

Liu knew that pushing too hard all of a sudden would lead to a counterproductive effect, so she didn't say anything else at the moment, and the matter of He Yaoxiang coming to an end for the time being.

This year, Kaoshan Village produced a boy and a scholar, which caused quite a stir in the surrounding area and many people talked about it with relish.

You know, Wuchun passed the examination for a Tongsheng when he was less than nine years old. This really shows how young people can be feared.

When everyone knew that he was Yu Ruren's son, they immediately felt that this was a natural thing.

This Lady Yu could even pray for rain to come down from the sky, so how bad could the son she gave birth to be? Many people took the initiative to bring eggs to congratulate her!

Since the villagers were so enthusiastic, Shen Ping did not refuse their kindness. She accepted all the gifts and also gave them gifts in return.

Although Xu Hao is not from Kaoshan Village, he is also in Kaoshan Village now. In other words, there are two scholars and one student in Kaoshan Village now.

Shen Ping decided to invite the whole village to a banquet, but this required burning incense in the ancestral hall, so she found the village chief and told him her intention.

What this meant was that Shen Ping would pay for the celebration for Xu Hao, Wu Chun and He Yao, and the village chief and his wife Xiao also agreed.

This is a happy event, and it would be good to share in the good luck. Even though their family failed the exam this year, there is still next year. Moreover, he is learning from his second uncle now, so he will surely pass the exam and become a student next year.

Shen Ping hosted this banquet with great fanfare. All the people who should have been invited came, and even those who had not been invited came uninvited after hearing about it.
