After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

Guangdan turned his head pitifully and looked at the old man, feeling that only the old man could save him at this time.

"Grandpa, there's a large patch of medicinal herbs over there. If we sell them in town, we'll earn a lot of money." Guangdan muttered in a low voice, afraid that his mother would hear him, and he even moved to the old man's side.

"I can't help you. Your mother is really angry. What will your mother do if something happens to you?" The old man said and sighed softly.

Guangdan was hesitant for a moment. Fang Cuihua was very angry at the moment, so he wondered if he should give her some time to calm down.

At this moment, he thought of his snake again, and started to move back to the yard.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw Fang Cuihua holding the thick snake and looking at it carefully, as if she was thinking about something.

"Mom, we can send the snake skin and snake gall to the town's medicine shop to see if we can sell them. They can be used as medicine. Snake meat is very nutritious. We can keep some for ourselves and for the family members to nourish their bodies. We can also send some to my eldest sister."

Guangdan was afraid that Fang Cuihua would chop the snake into several pieces, so he stood far away and reminded her.

"You're the only one who understands? Do I need you to teach me?" Fang Cuihua scolded coldly, then turned her head and stared at Guangdan for a few seconds.

"Come here." After saying that, he found a bamboo stick and inserted it into the seven-inch broken part of the snake.

"Hold it, use more force." He stuffed the bamboo stick that fixed the snake's neck into Guangdan's hand and pushed the man back.

Guangdan was in pain all over from being beaten, and he gasped when he was pushed. It had been a long time since he had been beaten so hard!

Fang Cuihua was still furious when she saw the little guy baring his teeth. She felt that given the kid's courage, something bad would happen sooner or later if she didn't beat him up.

As he thought about it, he started to peel the snake's skin. Looking at Guangdan's thin little body, Cao Lian quickly ran over, snatched the snake from Guangdan's hand, and motioned the little guy to go over to the side.

"Erya, ask your brother to come back." Fang Cuihua shouted at Erya who was hiding her head at the side, and then began to tear the snake skin with her bare hands.

After peeling off the snake skin, you can see the pink snake meat. Without the snake skin, the egg doesn't seem so scary.

Thanks to Fang Cuihua's efforts, the snake skin was peeled off completely. Then she put the snake meat and skin in a bamboo basket, took a pair of scissors and went out.

When Gouwei came back, he also had an incredible look on his face and rubbed his bald balls carefully several times, making him cry out in pain. When he lifted up his trouser legs, his calves were covered with pink stick marks.

"Next time you want to go to the mountains, tell me and we'll go together. You can't go alone anymore. You're lucky this time." Gouwei nodded at Guangdan's head unhappily.

After Fang Cuihua finished dealing with the snake at the riverside, she came back with a knife and chopped the snake into several pieces. Then she put the snake skin, snake gall, and a piece of snake meat in a bamboo basket and asked Gouweibei to go to the town's pharmacy to see if they could be sold.

Fang Cuihua then cut a few more pieces of the remaining snake meat, one of which she directly wrapped in broad leaves and asked Goudan to deliver to the teacher's house.

The Master has always taken special care of Goudan, so whenever the Lin family has any good things, the Master’s gifts are always given to them.

But the remaining large piece made Fang Cuihua hesitate. She originally wanted to let Guangdan deliver it to Daya, but it seemed inappropriate for Guangdan to travel after being beaten by her.

"Xiao Niu should be coming back soon. Let's send Xiao Niu to Daya later. If that doesn't work, let Xiao Niu rest there for a night." Cao Lian obviously noticed what Fang Cuihua was thinking and muttered softly beside her.

"Okay." Fang Cuihua said this while thinking about the fabrics at home.

She got up in the morning and took a quick look through it, and picked out a slightly brighter goose yellow cotton cloth, thinking of giving it to Daya later.

But she thought about it in her heart and didn't say anything. Guangdan, who had a tacit understanding with her, walked around the kitchen door and started thinking about what to take to her eldest sister's house.

Lin Daniu and Lin Erniu were obviously not confident about Guangdan bringing back the snake, and after a while the two brothers rushed back from the fields.

Then, when they saw that Guangdan's arms and legs were all covered with strips, they didn't dare to say anything, but instead scolded him a few times. The family members were more worried that something might happen to Guangdan, so beating him was a sign of affection and scolding was a sign of love.

Deep love and deep responsibility.

Goudan saw Guangdan grinning in the yard, so he thought for a moment, put down the book in his hand, took a small stool and sat next to Guangdan.

"Don't go to the mountains. The teacher said that if I practice calligraphy more, I can copy books in the future. I can make some money by copying books for a year." Goudan said very seriously, his big eyes full of heartache.

"Hehe, you're still young and far from copying books. Don't meddle in big kids' affairs." Guangdan said with amusement.

"Then you come with me to write big characters, and later we'll go to the ditch to look for snails together." Goudan raised his little head stubbornly. He felt in his heart that he couldn't let Guangdan wander around alone all the time, and he had to keep an eye on him.

"My arm hurts, so I won't write big characters. Wait until you finish writing and then we can go to the ditch together." Guangdan said in a low voice, and lifted up his sleeves to show the little guy.

Goudan looked at Guangdan with sympathy, but in his heart he felt that his mother was right and this guy deserved to be beaten!

"Then you will start learning to read and write with me next year, as we agreed before." Goudan kept nagging at the side, still unwilling to give up.

Well, this was agreed upon before, but Guangdan mostly reads herbal books on the side, and literacy is non-existent.

"I want to read the herbal book. Today I found a place with a lot of herbs. Guangdan, your task is to read and my task is to make money. We have different divisions of labor." Guangdan explained in a low voice.

"But you are also a child. It's not safe for you to go to the mountains. People almost died today. You should also learn to read and write with me. When I grow up, I will copy books to make money." Goudan was even more stubborn at this time and didn't listen to what Guangdan said at all.

Guangdan sighed worriedly: "Hey, do you know what it means to prioritize things?"

"I know."

"You don't know that I, your second brother, have limited talent for studying. Besides, my family is very short of money right now. When my family is better off, I will definitely take some time out to study. For me now, making money is more important than studying."

Goudan was silent when Guangdan said this. How could he not know that his family was short of money? Last year he even told his teacher that he didn't want to study anymore because his family really couldn't afford it.

But he was severely scolded by the teacher, who said that if he gave up studying, the Lin family would remain poor, but if he persisted and survived these difficult days, he would be able to change his family's situation in the future. As long as he had a reputation, his family would definitely get better.

He kept on doing this, feeling reluctant but persisting, until his family became a little better off because of Guangdan, and he finally felt a little relieved.

But if this wealth requires Guangdan to risk his life, then he would rather continue to be poor.
