The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

After dinner, Qian Xiangwen and Qian Lizheng drove the ox cart, while Ye Fanxing drove the mule cart with Shu Ge'er on it, following slowly behind.

In modern times, Ye Fanxing is also a car owner, but this did not prevent him from having a bitter smile on his face when he saw the mule cart in front of him.

The reason is very simple, he can drive a car, but the one in front of him is not that car!

Fortunately, the mule walked very steadily and was able to keep up with the ox cart in front without Ye Fanxing whipping it.

When the group arrived at Daliu Village, every household had just come out of the fields and were preparing to light a fire and cook.

When Qian Lizheng and others left the village in the morning, there was only an ox cart, but when they returned, there was an extra mule cart, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

In the village, only the headman's family and Zhang the butcher have cows, and they generally won't lend them to others. No one in the village has a mule cart. The one in front belongs to the headman, so could the mule cart in the back be newly bought by the headman's family?

Everyone took a closer look.

Isn't it Brother Xing who asked to be expelled from the clan and cut off all ties with relatives that is sitting on the frame of the mule cart at the back?

Judging from the appearance, this mule cart was bought by him!!

I guess he got the money on the IOU from the stingy miser Ye Lao San?

"I said that Xing Ge'er is heartless. He insisted on saying that the gifts given to him by his parents were owed, and he even forced his parents to pay back the money and grain on the spot. It turned out that he did it just to buy a mule cart today? I guess in Xing Ge'er's heart, his parents are not as important as this animal."

An old voice sounded from the crowd. The villagers turned around and saw that it was Xu Laonian from Xujia Village!

No wonder the words sound so harsh.

The people in the village didn't buy his sarcastic talk and started talking at once.

"It's an IOU written in black and white. I say to you, Xu Laonian, how can you be just like your shameless daughter? You change your face and deny it, but all you keep saying is filial piety. You really have a big face with a bloody mouth!"

"I think this old Xu came to Old Third Ye's house to ask for money. I'm afraid he will return empty-handed this time!"

"Ah, why do you speak so harshly? What autumn wind? It's a show of filial piety. Go to the homes of married children to receive the show of filial piety..."

……

Outside the Song family courtyard, Xu Laonian heard the villagers of Dalius Village talking non-stop, and he became so angry that his face turned red.

"Did I tell you guys? You two are flattering each other and rushing to get close to the Song family. Do you really expect this Song guy to pass the imperial examination?"

"Don't forget, that Song is no longer a scholar. He is now a cripple! Only Wencai from our family is qualified to take the imperial examination."

"Just wait and see!"

After saying that, he spat on the ground, put his hands behind his back, and walked away arrogantly.

The villagers of Daliu Village all shook their heads. It would be fine if a grown man did nothing all day, but he was actually so gossipy. No wonder Xu Yingdi liked to stare at married men so much. It seemed like she had inherited Xu Laonian's genes.

What's more, Xu Laonian's beloved son is almost twenty years old, but he still hasn't found a wife. Even his brother is not willing to marry into his family.

Not only are the family full of lazy people, but they also make a living by sucking the money out of their married children's in-laws. Any decent family would not be willing to marry their daughter or son to them.

If one is willing to let his daughter or son marry into the Xu family, one must also guard against the Xu family as if they were bandits, for fear that their home will be robbed.

Isn’t the Song family right before our eyes an example of this?

Fortunately, Xingge has finally gotten rid of that family of blood-sucking worms.

A husband looked envious, but when he saw that someone was living better than him, he said sourly: "Xing'er, your life is getting better and better. You even bought a mule cart. Our family can barely make ends meet."

Ye Fanxing glanced around and found that most people had the same reaction. He sighed in his heart, it turned out that they all couldn't stand others being better than themselves!

In this case, he has to play the victim and act poor. This is his forte. In his previous life, he watched a lot of palace fighting dramas in his spare time. Although the situation is different now, it does not prevent him from learning a thing or two.

"Ugh……"

Ye Fanxing sighed deeply, his face full of regret.

"All of this was accumulated by my husband over the years. If I hadn't devoted myself to the Old Ye Family, the Old Ye Family wouldn't have drained all of our savings, and my husband's legs wouldn't have been dragged on until today without seeing a doctor."

"I will get the money back, but I have already spent half of it on buying this mule cart. Tomorrow I will take my husband to the town clinic for medical treatment. I wonder how much medicine I can buy with the remaining money."

"Some people must think, if I am worried that I don't have enough money for the treatment, why did I buy this mule cart?"

"There are only two families in our village who own ox carts. Even if they agree to lend it to me, I can't be so shameless as to agree. Not only is the ox precious, but I can't borrow someone else's ox cart for so long without returning it, can I?"

"So, for the convenience of traveling, I bought this mule cart."

Those who originally felt a little strange in their hearts were suddenly speechless when they saw Ye Fanxing's eyes turn red while he was talking.

Especially when I heard that I didn’t know how much money it would cost to see a doctor, and Song Haoming’s leg had been delayed for such a long time. If all the money was spent and it still couldn’t be cured, I’m afraid Xing Ge’er’s life would be difficult in the future.

Seeing Xing Ge'er looking helpless, they felt embarrassed to stay in someone else's house, so they simply went in groups of two or three towards the big willow tree at the entrance of the village. That was a good place for them to chat.

Of course, there were also some people who wanted to get some gossip information, and they were peeking outside the yard, wanting to see what Ye Fanxing had bought.

Ye Fanxing ignored these people and closed the gate directly, while shouting to the inside of the house: "Song Haoming, Nan'er, I'm back."

Zao Ge'er also came from his home carrying Nan'er who had just woken up. When they saw the mule cart, both the big and the small were very excited.

Nan'er saw the mule cart in the yard, her eyes widened, and she waved her hands and shouted, "Little Daddy... Little Daddy, what a big cart!"

Ye Fanxing was still holding the cloth in her arms, and could only explain with a smile: "Nan'er, this is not a carriage, it's a mule carriage. Mules... mules look very similar to horses, but are smaller than horses and larger than donkeys."

I wanted to explain what a mule and a donkey are, but Nan'er is only three years old...

Ye Fanxing thought about it and decided to teach these things later.

Zao Ge'er was afraid that Nan Ge'er would run around after going to the fields and scare the mule, so he held Nan'er in his arms all the time, and walked around the donkey cart curiously. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

"Brother, from now on you and Brother Yushan should not take the bullock cart when you go to town. We have a car now."
