My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

"Gu Shuwen, we have severed ties with your family. What do you mean your mother is at least my aunt? Have you forgotten that my mother starved to death because of your family's ruthlessness? Why do you think I should help you?" Gu Lili said in a voice as cold as ice.

In Gu Lili's eyes, Gu Shuwen was simply stupid because of reading too much.

Maybe it was because Gu Lili’s house was robbed last time, and several neighbors nearby heard Da Laohei screaming non-stop, and they were all worried about whether Gu Lili and her brother were in danger.

Several neighbors got up one after another and came to Gu Lili's house to see what was going on.

Among them were the village head and Grandpa Dazhu.

After hearing what Gu Lili said, Gu Shuwen gritted his teeth and wanted to get up and leave.

However, when he heard footsteps behind him, he bent the leg that he had already raised down again, and a heartbroken expression appeared on his face.

Gu Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Gu Shuwen's death.

How come there was green tea in ancient times, and it was green tea for men.

If this thing of Gu Shuwen fell into the creek in front of his house, I'm afraid the villagers in Gu Village would be able to cook with Biluochun tomorrow.

The village head grandfather came over with Uncle Dazhu holding a torch. When he saw Gu Shuwen kneeling on the ground, he frowned unconsciously.

"Lili, what's wrong?" The village head glanced at Gu Shuwen, then turned and asked Gu Lili.

The village head also felt that since the relationship had been severed, there was no need to disturb Gu Lili anymore.

Gu Lili felt warm in her heart when she saw the neighbors coming to their house late at night.

"Uncle head of the village, Niu Cuihua is sick, and Shuwen came to Lili to borrow money!" Before Gu Lili could say anything, Aunt Zhang at the side took over the conversation.

Upon hearing this, the village head's brows furrowed even more.

The village head suppressed his anger and said, "Shuwen, you just want to borrow money, why are you still kneeling on the ground? You are insulting the elegance of a scholar! Don't you know that a man's knees are made of gold?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuwen, who had originally been preparing to perform a good scene of a weak scholar being forced to kneel down and borrow money to save his mother at night, was instantly embarrassed by a few words from the village head.

Gu Shuwen quickly said aggrievedly, "Grandpa Lizheng, I just wanted to save my mother, I didn't think too much about it."

The village head looked at Gu Shuwen unhappily and said, "What's the matter? Are Lili's family rich? Didn't you see that their house collapsed? You still want to borrow money? How dare you say that? Is that something a scholar like you can say? Besides, do you have any grudges between you two? Do I need to mention it again?"

"Yes, Shuwen, your mother has sent people to cause trouble for Lili time and time again. Last time, she even sent people to rob Lili's money in the town. How dare you come to borrow money from her? I don't know how you can be so shameless!" Uncle Dazhu was also very angry and said angrily.

When Gu Erniu heard that Niu Cuihua had done such a cruel thing to his sister, he actually felt pity for Gu Shuwen and wondered whether he should ask his sister to lend him some money.

At this moment, Gu Erniu wanted to slap himself twice. He deserved to die for having such thoughts just now.

My sister is right. Kindness has principles. Since the second branch of the Gu family is my enemy, I should not be soft-hearted.

Gu Shuwen was stunned for a moment. He didn't know that his mother and Gu Lili had such a conflict.

Gu Shuwen's face instantly turned red, and he stammered, "I... I didn't know that A Niang and Sister Lili had such a thing, I... I..."

"Okay, stop talking to me. Since your mother is sick, you should go back and take care of her as soon as possible so that we can go back to bed early too." The village head said impatiently.

Hearing this, Gu Shuwen bit her lip, silently got up, and then walked home without saying anything.

"Grandpa village head, uncles, aunts, thank you for coming to us in the middle of the night." Gu Lili said gratefully to the villagers.

The village head waved his hand, told the brother and sister to lock the door tightly, and then went back to their homes.

Gu Lili looked at the gate, then looked at the wall which had been broken due to the collapse of the building, and smiled helplessly.

It seems that in their situation, it makes no difference whether the door is locked or not.

Fortunately, with Big Black protecting them, Gu Lili felt very safe.

Tomorrow when there is no one around, I will definitely buy it a big piece of meat from the mall as a reward.

"Let's go, Erniu, and continue sleeping!" Gu Lili said as she walked forward.

Gu Erniu said guiltily, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was soft-hearted towards Gu Shuwen just now. I didn't know Niu Cuihua would do such a thing. Sister, I'm sorry."

Gu Lili turned around and glanced at Gu Erniu who was lowering his head.

He jumped up and gave him a slap on the face.

"You silly boy, you cry all the time, do you still want to be a man? Being soft-hearted shows that you are kind, there is no need to say sorry to me, but you still have to remember what your sister said, kindness needs principles and needs to be differentiated from people, remember!"

Gu Ergou covered his head with his hands, and the tears in his eyes finally fell down.

I'm not blaming myself, but it really hurts, wuwuwu...

Gu Shuwen returned home and sat on the bed in the dark, his eyes full of hatred.

This time, when my husband and I were going to the town to take part in the children's examination, we heard a magical story told by a stranger.

It is said that there was a scholar in Lincheng who had no choice but to kneel on the ground and beg for food in order to get his sick father treated.

Somehow, this matter reached the ears of the current emperor.

The emperor was so grateful for the scholar's filial piety that he rewarded him with several hundred taels of silver.

Later, the emperor thought that the scholar had great literary talent, and made an exception and gave him a ninth-rank official position.

When he came back this evening, he saw his mother lying on the bed. After thinking about it for half the night, he decided to imitate the scholar.

He originally thought that, at worst, even if the news didn't reach the capital, it would be good if it spread to Donghai Town.

However, he knelt and cried, why didn't he achieve the effect he wanted?

Instead, he was ridiculed by this group of country bumpkins.

His mother was right. When he was granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister in the future, he would definitely deal with this group of people.

I have already passed the county examination and the prefectural examination. As long as I pass the prefectural examination by the end of the year, I will become a student.

If he studies for a few more years, it will be no problem for him to become a scholar.

At that time, I will make these people kneel down at my feet and beg for mercy.

......

"Sister, Sigou seems to have a fever!"
