When a Cultivation Boss Dresses Up as Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 41 The Patriarchal Father
He Lingyu watched helplessly as his father sold all the tofu makers, even the wooden box used to store tofu when he went out on the street.
Not right, so wrong.
Isn't the incense of the He family important? Didn't his father always regard the incense of the He family as the most important thing, otherwise he wouldn't have married his sister to the dumb Zhao family and worked so hard for him to study for so many years.
Is his father someone out there?Is that little whore outside pregnant?Has a boy already been born?He is no longer the only child of the He family?
Compared to having an idle liar fooling his father, he thinks the latter guess is more reasonable.
Is the old man planning to sell the yard, take the money and run to live with the mother and son, and don't want him as a son?
He Lingyu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. His father went out after selling the things, and he followed behind secretly. If he had money, he would definitely send it to that vixen to please others, regardless of him, the eldest son left behind by his original spouse.
He Lingyu followed the old man all the way, and saw him enter a jewelry store.
Well, the old man is really willing to part with the mother and child. He has always wanted a pocket watch, but the old man has never agreed to buy it for him. Now he is eager to buy jewelry for others. Will he spend the money from the sale this time? Is it all spent?
"Shopkeeper, what did the person who just came in buy here?"
The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop is well-informed, he has never seen any kind of grievances and catching rapes of wealthy families, even if it is a small family, there are too many people, and there are too many calculations. Besides, the customers didn't let him keep it secret, so it's okay to tell others, just— —
The shopkeeper rubbed his fingers, knowing that the news is good, but he has to spend money to buy it.
He Lingyu rubbed his belly. He never kept his hands back when he spent money. He only had a twenty-cent copper coin left on him. With this money, he could go to a noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles. A child cannot catch a wolf.
He Lingyu took out the only copper coin left on his body in pain: "Tell me, what did he buy?"
When the shopkeeper accepted the money, he thought it was just five or ten coins, but he was so generous. As expected, he was in the same family as the old man just now, so he would reveal more information.
"The man wanted to come in just now to ask for three long life locks, but he probably didn't have enough money in his hand, so he replaced it with a silver bracelet. The silver bracelets worn by children are relatively small in size, not for adults. Not suitable for half-grown children."
"Silver bracelet? How many do you want?"
The shopkeeper stretched out three fingers.
This must have been bought for that little bastard. I wear one on my left hand and one on my right hand. Do I have to wear another on my ankle?The old man is so arrogant, the old man is very arrogant.
He Lingyu didn't know whether he was hungry or angry at the moment, he felt a little dizzy, he had to go home and eat something, he couldn't pass out here, if he died, it would be cheaper for those vixens and little bastards.
Don't think that the old man can leave him so easily. When he has enough to eat, he will go to the Zhao family to find his sister and ask her to persuade the Zhao family to come forward. The old man must not let the old man run away with the money.
He Zhinian had a meal of steamed buns on the way, and then he brought three small silver bracelets to the door of the Zhao Mansion.
The Zhao family is in the fabric business, and their ancestors have been in business for three generations, so they can be regarded as a well-established family in Luoyu.
However, it is not easy to do any business these days, and the same is true for the fabric business. The Republic of China is a special period. The impact of foreign products and technologies, and the exploitation of bureaucrats make it difficult for businessmen to do business.
The Zhao family has not improved the technology so far, and still uses the old method of weaving and printing, and the patterns have not been updated, so the business has been declining year by year, and the fabrics can no longer be sent to other places for sale, so they can only be digested locally.
The local market is only so big, so much fabric can be bought, and the price can't be sold.
From He Zhinian's point of view, the Zhao family's business in the past few years has not only been unable to make a profit, but may even lose money.
"Uncle He is a rare visitor. Is he here to see the young mistress? Or is he here to ask to see the old lady?"
When the gatekeeper heard that he was here to see the eldest young mistress, he didn't feel too embarrassed, so he was led there. Fortunately, this old man He is a wise man. If he came to see the old lady at this stall, the old lady would definitely not see her. .
Although Zhao Sheng is the young master of the Zhao family, he lives in the most remote courtyard of the Zhao family. The so-called remote means the place farthest from the old lady Zhao, who is in charge of the Zhao family. There is only one servant serving him.
Three granddaughters, the oldest Zhaodi is three and a half years old, the second child Pandi is two years old, the youngest was born yesterday and has not been named yet, but depending on the naming tradition of the Zhao family, what kind of Di is it?
The three children were all taken care of by the mother, and the Zhao family couldn't spare a maid.
As soon as He Zhinian entered the small courtyard, he heard the crying of several children, the newborn baby was crying, and the two older babies were also crying, and the cheap daughter was crying while coaxing the children.
"Where's Zhao Sheng? Where did he go?"
He Zhinian expertly picked up Zhaodi Pandi, one on each side, and gently rocked. Naturally, the ability to coax children was not inherited from the original owner, but was practiced by Zhou Ziyi's sons and daughters. Dad, those two children can be regarded as he watched them grow up.
He Lan's eyes were dim with tears: "Father, why are you here? I... the child's father should be in the study, he likes to read."
"The child is crying like this, can he still read?"
"He can't help here, Dad, why are you here? Is the family short of money? I didn't care when Ling Yu came here yesterday. Does the school have to pay again?"
After coaxing the two children well, He Zhinian freed his hands and took out the red cloth bag wrapped in silver bracelets: "This is for several granddaughters, one for each of them."
"Father, why did you buy these things for them? Save the money for Ling Yu. He is the man of our family. He is promising, and the He family has hope. You should return these silver bracelets."
He Lan knew that her father missed her in his heart, but she was a daughter and her family was poor, so there was nothing she could do about it.
Zhaodi had already happily put on the silver bracelet, and helped her younger sister put it on too. The two little girls were left unattended, and even their braids were loosely covered with chicken coops.
"Don't retreat." He Zhinian said firmly, "I lived for most of my life, and I didn't wake up until yesterday. Your brother is just spoiled, so that's why he can't write well. If your brother is as old, he has already I've started to support my family, but your younger brother, he can't pass the exams, refuses to work, and has to compare himself with others in everything else, if I continue to indulge him like this, I will kill him."
"Ah?" He Lan's eyes widened. What her father said made her confused and she couldn't figure it out.
"Isn't there an old saying, 'A child is like a child', I think there is some truth in this, so I have to force your brother in the future, and you can't let him go down like this, you also listen to your father , if he comes to you, you won't give him a copper coin."
"Then what should Ling Yu do if he is hungry? And he is still studying, and he has to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, otherwise how can he read?"
"Then don't study. I don't think he can learn anything. He just messes around in school all day. Think how smart he was when he was a child. He has been admitted to university for several years, and he has not been admitted to any university." , if a person is not stupid, then it can only be that he has not worked hard."
My younger brother is definitely not stupid. He Lan always thought that his younger brother was smart, but just like his father said, since he was smart, why couldn't he get into college for several years.
But... but my younger brother wants to go to school, let alone go to school, what can Ling Yu do?
"Father, why don't I ask the old lady to let Ling Yu find a job in Zhao's family, so that my family can take better care of me. Ling Yu has studied for so many years, and he couldn't be a shopkeeper at first. Being an accountant is always a problem." More than enough."
"No, you can't pamper him anymore, or else...or you're hurting him, a man is a man, he has to endure hardships to become a man. But you, you have to take care of three children alone, Zhao Sheng is useless , how can you do it?"
He Lan glanced at her little daughter who was already soundly asleep, and tears flowed down her face involuntarily: "I can get by no matter what, but I'm afraid."
In Helan's memory, her father has always been a taciturn person. The father and daughter rarely sit down to talk like this, and father rarely cares about her like this. The words that she originally kept in her heart are now involuntary. Everything has been said.
"I'm afraid that I won't have a son. There are three of them. If the next child is a daughter, even if the Zhao family doesn't want me, I will have no face to stay any longer. But these children all fell from me. If I leave the Zhao family, what will they do? The Zhao family will not let me take the child away."
???
What kind of confusing speech is this?Forgive He Zhinian for some discomfort, both psychological and physical.
"It's all your father's fault. If only I had sent you to a foreign school in the first place, you wouldn't even be able to understand this point and take the responsibility on yourself."
He Lan was immersed in grief, when she heard the words, she wiped away her tears and asked in surprise, "What's the point?"
"There are foreigners who specialize in this research. People say that the birth of boys and girls depends not on women, but on men." In order to convince his daughter, He Zhinian also used an analogy, "Think about it, what does the field look like?" It depends on what kind of seeds are sown, what does it have to do with the land? No matter how good the field is, the corn seeds cannot be allowed to germinate and grow wheat. Are you thinking about this? "
This seems to be the reason, but isn’t childbirth a woman’s business? It’s said that foreigners are great, so aren’t foreigners also very good at researching this kind of thing?So it's not that she only has the life to have a daughter, but Zhao Sheng has only the life to have a daughter.
"Father, have you met foreigners? How did they tell you? How did they tell you this?"
Foreigners are arrogant, and most of them can't speak Chinese, how could they talk about these things with her father.
"Yesterday I met a gentleman who came back from overseas. He told me that equality between men and women is advocated now. Boys and girls are the same. Some boys can't get into college for several years, and some girls are very good at studying. You can go to the best university in the country, and you can study abroad with a scholarship. Dad regrets it, and should have sent you to school back then, maybe our family has already produced a college student."
He Lan waved his hands again and again: "Father, I can't do it, I'm not as smart as Ling Yu."
Besides, she is a woman, it is useless to finish her studies, she is not going to get married.
"He's all clever, and he doesn't use it in serious things at all. You are not stupid than him, and you are prudent and sensible. If you can go to school, you must be better than him. But it's not too late, Mr. Ren said, learn old work When you get old, don't look at your father's old bones, and plan to go to the church of foreigners to learn something, so don't be compared to your father."
He Lan was helpless: "Father, you see I have three children here, what else do I need to learn?"
"Why can't you learn? The Zhao family has so many servants. When you need someone to take care of you, you should send a few people over here. Don't worry about this matter. Let me tell you. The old lady of the Zhao family still makes sense. "
Even if it was unreasonable, it would be shameful, otherwise, it would be impossible for the mansion to not cut down any of the servants in the case of several years of deficit, and the style would even be greater than in previous years.
He Lan couldn't persuade her father at all, and wanted to call her husband to stop him, but she couldn't call anyone, so she could only watch the old man look like a strong man going out to fight, and go to her mother-in-law in high spirits to argue.
