Shen Yuan couldn't believe it. She didn't expect Zhang to be so heartless. She just opened her mouth and Zhang drove her out.

"Mother, Zhaoming is your son-in-law. If he becomes successful in the future, will he not benefit from you?"

Zhang waved her hand impatiently, "Don't you know what's going on at home? No money!"

She has seen through it all. Men and children are unreliable, let alone sons-in-law.

Ever since the incident with the child's father, the mother and son from the Gu family had been indifferent to her whenever they saw her, for fear of having anything to do with her.

Even so, she still dares to think that her son-in-law will take care of her in the future?

Besides, she also heard the rumor that Gu Zhaoming and his daughter were having an affair outside a few days ago.

Such a dissolute person still wants to pass the imperial examination? Even if Gu Zhaoming is her son-in-law, Zhang thinks that such a person will not achieve anything.

Once you lend money out, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it will never come back.

Seeing that Zhang was determined not to lend him the money, Shen Yuan had no choice but to return home in shame.

Shen Rong has been paying attention to Shen Garden during this period.

Knowing that she failed to borrow money from her parents' home, she felt relieved. It must be impossible for Gu Zhaoming to take enough money to take the exam this time like he did in his previous life.

Days passed by, and the time for the college entrance examination was getting closer and closer.

Shen Yuan had no choice but to confess to Gu Zhaoming that she failed to borrow money from her mother's family.

Gu Zhaoming's heart sank slightly. The Yue family was unwilling to lend him money. Did they think he would never amount to anything?

Although he would not let a woman raise all the money for his examination, he was unhappy to learn that Yue's family would not pay a penny.

Gu Zhaoming thought of Shen Sanniang. After he got engaged to Shen Sanniang, every time he took an exam, she would find an excuse to send him some money or food. He never expected that Shen Sanniang's family would look down on him so much.

Shen Yuan carefully observed Gu Zhaoming's expression and said, "Husband, you also know the situation of my mother's family. My father's leg has been treated for more than half a year and it has never been fully healed. My mother's family is not in charge of the matter, so they really can't come up with the money..."

Although Gu Zhaoming was dissatisfied, he still had to save face. "It's okay. My mother should have some savings. Adding the money I have saved, it will be enough for the trip."

There should be some money left from the last time I sold ginseng.

When Shen Yuan heard him say this, his brows relaxed a lot, and the burden in his heart was immediately lightened, "That's good!"

She knew that as the male protagonist of the book, no matter what problems Gu Zhaoming encountered, they would not be a problem.

Gu Zhaoming glanced at Shen Yuan, and felt even more displeased.

He didn't expect Shen Yuan to be so selfish. Knowing that he was going to take an exam, he still spent money lavishly without considering him at all and even lied to him that he was prepared.

Fortunately, he always planned for himself and saved some money by copying books. Together with his mother's savings, it was enough to cover the travel expenses for this exam.

However, this way, the family would have no savings left.

Gu Zhaoming secretly made up his mind that he must take the examination this time, otherwise...

During the last period before the entrance examination, Gu Zhaoming studied hard day and night, and remained indifferent even when he heard the villagers gossiping that Shen Sanniang was still thinking about him.

He secretly decided in his heart that he must pass the exam and become a scholar.

The day Gu Zhaoming left Taohua Village, Shen Rong watched him leave.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhaoming managed to scrape together enough money for the exam.

It would be a lie for Shen Rong to say she wasn't disappointed.

In his previous life, Gu Zhaoming hinted to her that her family no longer had the money for him to take the college entrance examination. She believed it and used her dowry money to support him in taking the exam.

Unexpectedly, Liu could still come up with money.

Yes, Liu has money.

Before Shen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming got married, they dug up a ginseng and bought several dozen taels of silver. Although they spent some money on their wedding, they still had some money left over.

I guess there won’t be anything left after taking it out this time.

Thinking that Gu Zhaoming passed the examination and became a scholar, and did not make further progress until ten years later, Shen Rong felt relieved.

There are still many days to come!

It is not easy to be a poor scholar, and it is even harder to be the wife of a poor scholar!

After figuring it out, Shen Rong continued to get busy.

Some time ago, Shen Rong secretly brought a lot of herbs out of the space while picking them.

Even a ginseng that was several decades old was dug up.

Seeing that Shen Rong always collected a lot of herbs, Sixth Grandpa didn't doubt it. He just thought that young people were quick and skillful, so it was not surprising that they collected so many herbs.

Shen Rong didn't just pick them randomly. She only picked some herbs that were available in the mountains at this season, so they naturally wouldn't arouse her grandfather's suspicion.

With more medicinal herbs, fewer villagers go to the doctor and use less medicine.

Afraid that the herbs would lose their medicinal properties if stored for too long, my grandfather would keep some for regular use after preparing them and sell the rest to the town's pharmacy.

This way, the family will have an extra income.

That day, Sixth Grandpa asked Changsheng to go to the town to sell herbs.

Shen Rong thought that it would be inconvenient for her to go into the mountains without Changsheng. Besides, she was worried about Changsheng going to the town alone, so she planned to go to the town as well.

Shen Rong also wanted Sixth Grandma to go with her, but Sixth Grandma refused.

"I'll stay at home. Today the weather is good. I'll dry the herbs at home. I can take them to the pharmacy to exchange for money in a few days."

In the past, the two old guys didn’t collect much herbs, and it took them a long time to save up before they could sell them for a little money. Ever since Shen Rong followed them into the mountains to collect herbs, the number of herbs at home has increased, and they can make more money from selling them.

Sixth Grandma is now thinking that while she can still move, she should dry more herbs and sell them to save some money for Changsheng.

She knew that Sanniang had more silver than any other family in the village, but with Changsheng's condition, no amount of silver would last long!

When they are gone in the future and you have children, there will be many places to spend money!

It would be better to earn more money than to spend your time wandering around town.

As for whether they would have children in the future after Changsheng, Sixth Grandma felt that with Shen Rong's acceptance of Changsheng, the chances of them having children in the future were very high.

Therefore, some things must be planned early.

It was already an injustice for Shen Rong to marry Changsheng, and the two old people didn't want Sanniang to suffer too much with Changsheng after they were buried.

I have to say that the two old people think very long-term.

Seeing that her grandmother was determined not to go to the town, Shen Rong stopped trying to persuade her, packed a small bag, and followed Changsheng to the town.

The two walked towards the village entrance.

Shen Rong looked up at Changsheng who was pursing his lips, then looked at the hand that was tightly holding hers, and said, "Changsheng, Grandpa asked you to sell herbs, are you afraid?"

In the past, it was Sixth Grandpa who went to sell medicinal herbs, and Changsheng would only go to the medicine shop with him occasionally.

Unexpectedly, this time, Sixth Grandpa actually asked Changsheng to deliver the herbs to the pharmacy.

Changsheng looked at the road ahead, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he shook his head.

Shen Rong was a little surprised, but then she understood that Changsheng had been to the pharmacy several times with his grandfather, so he was naturally not afraid.

Shen Rong thought about the ginseng she took out last time, which Sixth Grandpa had processed, and brought back this time. She should be able to exchange it for some silver, and her mood improved a little.

With money in hand and food in the jar, Shen Rong is very satisfied with her current life.

But she didn't know that this satisfaction was instantly shattered when the news that Gu Zhaoming passed the examination and became a scholar reached back to the village.
