In front of the audience, Chen Butler asked the gangster to buy pens and inks, wrote down the contract for buying the store, and handed it to Du Qingchen. Du Qingchen was supported by Du Rulin, and he glanced around. They were all in traditional Chinese characters, which he knew, but Because of the severe ischemic injury, he was dizzy, and after roughly confirming the contract, he handed it over to Du Rulin.

"Little brother, please read it again. I'm dizzy and can't see clearly." Du Qingchen said weakly.

In fact, although he was dizzy, he had roughly finished reading the contract. The reason why he asked Du Rulin to read it through was to make sure he hadn't missed anything, and to read it for everyone.

The Chen family is everyone, if there is something to go back on, he can't do anything for the time being, his arms can't hold his thighs, but if he reads it to everyone, the Chen family will be a little more scrupulous about doing things. The most fearful thing for such a wealthy family is to lose money. Integrity, lost face.

Butler Chen didn't see Du Qingchen's careful thinking, and he didn't play any word games for 30 taels of silver. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of hiding something.

Du Rulin read aloud, and the clear youthful voice resounded in the quiet street, which also attracted the attention of Du Rulin's classmates.

"That's, Rulin!" A passing teenager looked in surprise at the classmate in the middle of the crowd, whose eyes were red like a bunny.

"Yeah! Why is he here? That's... that seems to be Ru Lin's father, do you remember, he came to take Ru Lin from school." The boy bumped into the people around him with his arm.

"It's him, it's him! Uncle looks sick, who is that injured man next to him?"

"Looking at it, he seems to be Ru Lin's elder brother!" After all, there are still some similarities between the brothers.

"But... what is Ru Lin doing?" The two teenagers frowned.

The two teenagers who grew up in the town from a wealthy family did not understand what the scene in front of them meant. However, it didn't take long before they got a general understanding of the situation from the whispered chatter of the people around them. Both of them frowned wrinkled.

They knew that Du Rulin's family was poor. After all, Du Rulin was one of the few country children in their private school. But Du Rulin was good-looking, good at reading, and good-natured. They still liked to play with Du Rulin. Seeing this scene, Liu Tai thought He stepped forward to uphold justice, but was pulled by Qiu You beside him.

Qiu You said: "You don't want to go, not to mention that you are young, but the Chen family is not something your father can compete with. Besides, if you break out like this, Rulin will be embarrassed. Do you still want to do it with Rulin?" Classmates? How do you want Rulin to face us in the future?"

Qiu You has always been mild-tempered, and is a little older than the others, and he does things more satisfactorily. Naturally, he does not approve of Liu Tai's appearance. Although Liu Tai's father is a master, he is very famous in the town, but fame and power are not the same. Things, not to mention Liu Tai is still young, and he will not be taken seriously.

Liu Tai is the youngest child in the private school, and only because his father was the teacher of the private school, he was able to keep up with everyone's footsteps. Although he has acquired knowledge, he is still a child. Very dissatisfied, "Is it okay to just watch Du Rulin being bullied?! Can you stand it? Good! Friends Qiu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

Qiu You was helpless, but still explained: "What can I do if I can't stand it?! When we go to school tomorrow, we can ask Rulin in private if he needs help, it's better than embarrassing him in public! He certainly doesn't want us to see him. Such a scene."

Liu Tai wanted to say more, but Du Rulin had already read the contract, turned around and wiped his tears and handed the contract to Du Qingchen.He seemed to have heard a familiar voice just now, but he had been reading the contract just now and couldn't turn his head to look at it. Only now did Du Rulin turn in the direction of Liu Tai and Qiu You.

When Qiu You saw him, he immediately dragged Liu Tai and ran away. After all, he was still a child himself!Can't think of anything comprehensive.

Du Rulin opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and looked at the backs of the two classmates. Did they see what happened just now?The boy's self-esteem was immediately frustrated and he felt uncomfortable, but his eyes were always red and he was still crying, but no one noticed that he was even more uncomfortable.

Du Qingchen accepted the contract, pressed his fingerprints with Steward Chen, took the 30 taels of silver, supported by Father Du and Du Rulin, and returned home weakly.

The journey home is not far, and it is daytime, so people come and go, so it is safe.

After returning home, Du's father was still moaning and sighing, while Du Rulin sat beside him silently, seeming to have something on his mind.

Du Qingchen sat on the bed, took a breather, and said: "Father, little brother, we can't keep this money in our hands for too long. Our family is old, weak, sick, and everyone outside knows it. Many people also know that we have silver, 30 taels is not too much, and it is not too little, it is enough to attract prying eyes, we must spend it as soon as possible, and let everyone know how to spend it, so that we can feel at ease."

Hearing this, Du's father felt even more uncomfortable, "Just say that you shouldn't sell the store, and now it's over, the ancestral property is gone, and you can't even keep the money. What a crime this is!"

Du Qingchen smiled and looked at Du Rulin, "What do you think, little brother?"

Du Qingchen also listened to Du Rulin read the contract just now, and it was very smooth, at least there is no problem in reading it through. He still has some recognition for this younger brother's ability in reading. If Du Rulin can really study, he is willing to train him to pass the imperial examination. One way, as long as they are admitted to Juren, they cannot be bullied by people like the Chen family in the town, and the Du family will have support.

As for Du Qingchen himself, forget it, just now he roughly glanced at the handwriting of that housekeeper Chen, to be honest, he is a modern person, he can memorize poems, but when it comes to calligraphy, he is really incomparable with the people here .

Du Rulin immediately came back to his senses. He had actually been in a daze just now, thinking of his classmates Qiu You and Liu Tai, when he suddenly heard Du Qingchen calling him, he just came back to his senses, "Brother, I..." Du Rulin hesitated.

"It's okay. You can say whatever you want to say. It doesn't matter if you're wrong." Du Qingchen was very lenient and wanted to see Du Rulin's opinion. People who take the imperial examination must not only study well, but also have a clear mind. It can bring disaster, but can't be relied on.

After hearing this, Du Rulin bit his lips and said, "I think it's time to spend the money! Father's medical bills are still on credit, so I just paid them back."

"Aren't you afraid that if you spend all your money, you won't be able to continue studying?" Du Qingchen smiled.

Du Rulin paused, his eyes were a little red again, "So what if I don't study anymore?! Anyway... Anyway, if I don't study now, I can also work as a bookkeeper!" It also saves me from being embarrassed among my classmates.

"Nonsense!" The voices of Du Qingchen and Du's father sounded almost at the same time, and Du Qingchen turned to Du's father in surprise.

Father Du pointed at Du Rulin angrily and said, "How dare you not study! Watch how I beat you! Look at your brother, he has only been studying for a few years, and now he can read and write, and he can be the master of the house. Good point! If you study for a few more years, you won’t be more stable and powerful than your brother in the future?! Besides, the master told me last time I saw you, let you study hard, and this year you will be able to take the entrance examination for children’s students. If you pass the exam, even if you don’t pass the exam, you will still be able to pass the exam next year! Do you dare not read...you..."

Du's father tremblingly wanted to take off his shoes and beat his son as he spoke, but Du Qingchen quickly stopped him.

Although Du's father is often not open-minded enough and only stares at the one-acre three-point land in front of him, he knows the truth that reading is useful, and he gritted his teeth to confess his sons. Du Qingchen's eyes softened, "Dad , It's okay, the younger brother just said it casually, he dare not."

Du Rulin stared at his brother, what do you mean dare not?Could it be that if he doesn't go to school, will his brother want to beat his father like his father? !

As the youngest in the family, who could fight anyone, Du Rulin was silently cowardly, and never dared to bring up the matter again.

Du Qingchen then said: "Father, I actually want to buy another store, even if the location is not so good, it's fine, as long as the price is within our tolerance, I have a headache right now, and I really can't go to town for a while. You are sick again, father, you have to take good care of your illness, I don’t know if there is anyone in the village who can rely on, I want to entrust him to find a shop.”

After hearing this, Du's father immediately praised: "Qingchen is the one who thinks clearly. He deserves to be a person who has studied. You should also learn from your brother. How can you not study! One more day of reading is also good! "Father Du turned to Du Rulin to teach again.

Du Rulin could only bow his head and say yes.

Du Qingchen was amused, but he continued to ask. Father Du thought for a while and said, "Then I will entrust it to you, Brother Mancang. I will talk to him later."

Although he didn't want to keep Du's father busy, Du Qingchen really couldn't get up at the moment, and he could still sit and talk steadily, all supported by his will. Seeing that the instructions were almost the same, the matter was mostly over, and he relaxed , suddenly tilted his head and fell on the quilt, and passed out.

Du's father and Du Rulin were taken aback, and hurriedly asked the barefoot doctor in the village to come and take a look. After seeing it, the doctor immediately scolded the two of them, asking Du Qingchen to rest well, and not to get up and worry about it, otherwise he might be dead. Well, the hole in Du Qingchen's head hasn't closed yet!Is that a joke? !

Du's father took a hen and sent the doctor out, and when he turned around, he sighed again.

"Is third uncle at home?" A woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who is it?" Father Du walked out tremblingly and opened the door.

"Me! Du Tun's daughter-in-law, the one who usually works as a matchmaker in ten miles and eight villages, remember me?" Outside the door, a fat woman dressed as a peasant woman stood at the door and smiled, "Third uncle! The matchmaker is here, and the magpie is screaming! Today I Come to be a matchmaker for my brother Qingchen!"

"A matchmaker? My son is injured like this, and he is still a matchmaker?!" Father Du was very puzzled.

"That's right!" Du Tun's daughter-in-law waved her hand with a smile, raised her foot and squeezed into the door, and then walked in, "I said third uncle, your family has been filled with evil spirits and bad luck recently! It's time to marry a daughter-in-law and come back as soon as possible, and be overjoyed, maybe it will be all right in no time, and even my brother Qingchen's injury will heal sooner."

Happy?Marry a daughter-in-law? !

Thinking of the 30 taels of silver that hadn't been spent yet, and the eldest son who had been delayed for several years because of poverty, Father Du was a little moved and heeled up.
