The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry

"What did you say?" After a long while, only Lu's mother asked tentatively.

"I said I want to pay for our Lu family's children to go to school and take the imperial examinations!" Lu Yao straightened her back and announced loudly:

“In the past, my family was poor and none of our children could go to school.

Now that I have a business and have more money, I think our family can't just farm for generations and be illiterate and rough.

While we can still make money, let our children go to school.

Now that they can read and write, their lives will be different, and our family will become a family of farming and reading.

If we can produce a few promising ones and make achievements in scientific examinations in the future, our family will be transformed!"

The main hall of the Lu family was still quiet, but everyone's heart was beating with anxiety.

Er Gouzi, what did she say?

She has to pay for her children's education!

This is more important news than leading everyone to raise chickens and make sauce.

"You, why do you have the right to pay this money for everyone?" Uncle Lu asked in confusion.

He is indeed the most calculating dad who can always find the key point of the problem in one go.

Education costs so much, why should Ergouzi bear the cost alone?

"Dad, that's a good question! I won't say those touching words.

I will just say one thing: I paid for my children to study for the imperial examinations in order to protect myself and my family! "

The Lu family became even more confused after hearing this.

"Studying for the imperial examination, how can it be considered protecting you and this family?"

Lu Yao asked everyone seriously, "If I do a good job, will others be jealous? Will that blind bear do something bad to me?"

When everyone in the Lu family thought about it, it seemed possible.

There are always some people with jealousy in this world who can't stand seeing others living a good life.

When they see others doing well, they quietly do bad things behind their backs.

"You are so fierce, how could anyone dare to do bad things to you?" Mother Lu frowned.

"Mom, if the villagers or other ordinary people do something bad to me, I am certainly not afraid.

But my business is doing well and I'm making a lot of money, so I'm afraid those rich and powerful people will get jealous and do something bad to me!"

This surprised the Lu family.

No!

Although they had never experienced it personally before, everyone knew about the stories of robbery and robbery from daily conversations or from various plays and stories.

If someone's fields, shops, or business are good, the rich and powerful will take them into their own hands.

After all, all the good resources are in the hands of those in power!

The common people have good things but they cannot protect them.

So, it turned out to be a very dangerous thing for ordinary people like them to suddenly have a good business.

For the first time, the Lu family suddenly realized that studying for the imperial examinations, in addition to bringing honor to the family, allowing their family to join the aristocratic class and leading a better life, could actually save their lives.

In order to avoid being envied and robbed by others, one must first rely on studying and taking the imperial examinations to increase one's own status.

Lu Yao looked around, and from everyone's expressions, she could tell that they had taken her words to heart and understood them.

Then she would be relieved.

She was willing to pay for her sister and nieces' education just for this purpose.

In such a classical society, among the three groups of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, except for the scholars, the remaining three groups had no sense of security.

Farming is not profitable, life is not easy. Doing business is not easy, without a backer, it will fail easily.

So far, she still hasn't met any strong thighs.

Although the Song family treated her well, they were just partners. If something serious happened, the Song family, who were also merchants, might not be able to protect themselves.

But she is faced with two major challenges: developing her own career and saving her fellow villagers.

Especially the fellow villager’s golden finger, which can hold him up to great success, but can’t hold him back and his family will be ruined.

In such a situation, she really needs a backer and some leverage.

The best backing and leverage is one's own strength.

Many wealthy people know that sponsoring a scholar who goes to Beijing to take the imperial examinations is to establish a good relationship with him. If the scholar becomes successful in the future, they will have someone to help them if they have any problems.

Then why doesn't she just support her younger generations directly!

Their relationship is a real blood relationship.

Why didn't she go for the scientific examination herself?

She wanted to too.

But her urgent and important task now is not to study for the imperial examination, but to make money, start a family and ensure her own life.

By the way, I also have to save a fellow villager.

If we wait for her to save him through the imperial examination, regardless of whether he can pass it or not, after several years, his fellow villager might be left with nothing.

Besides, if she really wanted to take the imperial examination, she would need a recommendation and a guarantor.

Given the reputation of the original owner, Er Gouzi, I'm afraid no one in the surrounding villages would be willing to guarantee her.

Zero points for moral character.

She still has to take the exam!

"Studying is important in itself, and it will be even more important to our family in the future. By supporting my children's education, I am also providing myself with a solid backing.

You guys," Lu Yao pointed at the children of the Lu family, "I, your aunt, and our entire Lu family will depend on you to protect us in the future!"

"Oh!" The Lu family's children were happy and confused.

Studying is something very sacred in their hearts, and they are of course happy to be able to study.

But why did Fifth Aunt say that studying could protect her?

Isn’t their fifth aunt Ergouzi, the invincible one in the whole village?

Why does my fifth aunt, who can fight tigers and bad guys, still need them to study for protection?

They are still young and don’t understand these things yet.

“So in order to allow the children to study smoothly, it is better for me, a big businessman, to divide my business.

This way I can stay behind and pay the bills, and you can just go to school without being affected."

The big bait of letting children read is thrown out in order to solve the problem of being able to separate it out and have their own say.

The main room was still relatively quiet, with the occasional whisper of a few words from the Lu family.

When Lu Yao first proposed to divide the family, her family was shocked and her parents were furious.

But after her analysis, especially after she brought up the important matter of her providing free education for their children, the Lu family really had to think carefully about it.

Lu Yao said bluntly: "The only condition for supporting my child's education is that I want to set it apart separately.

If I can't share it out, I won't be able to calculate the money to support my children, and it will also be difficult to make ends meet for the family business.

If you don't do any of them well, everything will be restricted.

Besides, I am dividing the business not because our family relationship is bad, but I do it so as not to block the way for my children and also so that I can do better business.

If you think it through, you won't think it's shameful.

If I divide it up, I don't want the house or the land, I just want sixty taels of silver!

That was the money I earned from fighting corruption and working part-time, so I have to pay the fine."

These words caused a small ripple in the hearts of the Lu family.

With the words “I don’t want either the house or the land”, Ergouzi was kicked out of the house with nothing!

Sister Lu and Lu Lin looked at Lu Yao in surprise, not knowing what to say.

No matter whose family splits up, it is a big deal.

Invite clan elders, village chiefs, and influential relatives to witness and judge.

Many sisters started fighting on the spot over who got more, who got less, or who didn't get a good enough share.

But Ergouzi didn't want to say anything.

He only asked for sixty taels of silver.

But now no one dares to take advantage of the sixty taels of silver.

Because this money is indeed earned by people's own ability.

And he earned more than just sixty taels. How much of the good life the Lu family has now was not earned by Ergou?

If I don't give her the money, it would be too conscienceless. If Er Gouzi is exiled because of this, who will lead the Lu family to make money in the future? Who will pay for the children's education for free?

Unconsciously, Lu Yao has tied her own interests and everyone's interests together.

If anyone wants to get more benefits, he must first make Ergouzi happy.

Lu Yao glanced at Sister Lu and Lu Lin, and suggested, "I'll take my share. If you two want to take your share, you can think it over among yourselves and tell mom together!"

Lu Lin's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself: Er Gouzi is really talking about things that are not relevant to the topic!
