After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

Today is a day off. Cao Shuqing, who is already ten years old, has grown much taller. He is wearing a stone green robe made of ordinary fabric, with frayed edges at the corners.

He has a scholarly air, very much like a student from a poor family.

He returned to Taohua Village and went up the mountain with Liu Changlin.

After such a long search with no results, he knew in his heart that the thing was most likely gone, but he still felt unwilling to accept it.

At first he suspected that either Zhao Susu or her daughter was reborn like him, but after testing, he found that neither of them was true.

He attributed this to his rebirth, which changed some established trajectories and made some things unknown.

For example, he successfully entered Ziguang Academy and was admitted to the class for child prodigies. However, he failed to get first place in every March exam.

The payment was made year after year and never missed. The family had already sold two plots of land.

If he hadn't been in Ziguang Academy, people in the village would have thought he would have a bright future. After his father's death, her mother couldn't handle the situation and might not even be able to keep the land.

For example, he tried very hard to make his presence felt in front of Pei Hongmiao, and he also studied hard and had beautiful handwriting.

But last month, when Pei Hongmiao was accepting his last disciple, he still did not choose him, but he did not choose the one from his previous life either, so that gave the opportunity to someone else.

It is very likely that the ginseng also changed because of his rebirth.

After all, Jiang Bo never got it in this life.

This was his last time going up the mountain. If he couldn't find it again, he would not look for it again. After all, fifty taels of silver was not something he valued that much, even though he had seen a lot of money.

Liu Changlin said flatteringly: "Cousin, it has only been raining for two or three days. There must be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. Let's pick some and you can take some back to eat. They will be delicious when cooked into soup!"

Cao Shuqing didn't have the heart to talk about these things with him.

If he hadn't been thinking about this ginseng, he wouldn't have returned to the village. His mother cried every day and told him about her suffering after his father died.

She couldn't help at all. Why was it her father who died instead of her?

His father can make money for him, but his mother only causes him trouble.

Liu Changlin went to pick mushrooms, while Cao Shuqing continued to look for ginseng.

Naturally, nothing was gained.

When Liu Changlin came back with half a basket of mushrooms, she was not surprised at all to see his empty hands.

His cousin was the incarnation of the God of Literature. He actually passed the entrance exam to a large academy in the county. He was going to be an official in the future, so it was normal that he couldn't do any housework.

After all, which official would do such a menial job?

Liu Changlin immediately gave him most of the mushrooms in his basket, and then he said casually: "Cousin, now that your uncle has passed away, it will cost you a lot of money to study, and your aunt will definitely not be able to earn it. You have to think of another way!"

"any solution?"

Cao Shuqing, who was in a bad mood because he didn't find ginseng, asked perfunctorily.

"Cousin, you are good-looking and good at studying. Your family has no money, so there must be someone willing to support you."

Liu Changlin acted like a know-it-all: "Wei Jinshi from the village next door was also very poor when he didn't pass the exam. But a wealthy family in his village, I think the surname was Lu, took a liking to him and arranged a marriage for him with his youngest daughter. Then the six brothers of the Lu family came together to betray him. Didn't he pass the exam and become an official?"

Cao Shuqing frowned. He was going to marry the prime minister's daughter as his wife in the future.

Seeing him frown, the teenage Liu Changlin had a sly smile in his eyes: "Cousin, are you worried that you won't be able to get rid of those poor relatives after you pass the exam?"

Even though his thoughts were seen through at a glance, Cao Shuqing didn't say much.

Liu Changlin put a hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Guess what happened to Jinshi Wei in the end? After he became an official, he asked someone to lure Lu Laoliu into gambling. Lu Laoliu lost so much money that he hurt someone. The Lu family knew that Jinshi Wei didn't want to marry Lu's daughter anymore, so they took the initiative to cancel the engagement, sold all the land in the family, gave the money to Jinshi Wei, and asked him to speak for them. Jinshi Wei got money and fame, and abandoned his fiancée who was engaged in the countryside. You see, how perfect it is?"

Cao Shuqing's eyes flashed.

It's not like he hasn't thought about this problem.

Didn't he want to find someone who would bring him good fortune? In his heart, he still wanted to find Meng Yufan more.

But Meng Yufan’s mother is still alive, and his personality is completely different from his previous life. I wonder if he will still be lucky.

He asked, "Did Meng Yufan never come back to the village?"

"Yes, of course she would. She often comes to see Doctor Zhang." Liu Changlin chuckled, "You mean that girl, she was only five or six years old, and she ran from the town to the village without even an adult. I don't know where she got such courage."

He laughed again: "However, after that girl's mother found a job in town, the two of them had better food and better clothes. If you didn't mention it, she was really pretty."

Cao Shuqing narrowed his eyes: "How often does she reply?"

"That's not certain. It seems that sometimes she comes back every three to five days, sometimes every ten days or half a month. She only comes to see Doctor Zhang and Mrs. Zhang. If Mrs. Zhang hadn't praised the girl to everyone she met, who would have known?"

Liu Changlin turned his head and said, "Cousin, you don't want to get engaged to her, do you? Although her mother has found a job in the town and her life is better than in the village, she definitely can't afford to support a scholar. Let's find someone who is richer!"

Cao Shuqing glanced at him, and he was immediately encouraged. He suggested: "The He family in the south of the village has land and four sons who can earn money. I think their family is good, but their daughter is too ugly, with small eyes and a big mouth. But we can just coax her family to support your studies, and then kick her out when you pass the exam and become an official."

Cao Shuqing glanced at him and said, "Cousin, I am a scholar and I don't do such things!"

Liu Changlin originally wanted to please others, but after hearing what he said, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

After going down the mountain and parting ways, Cao Shuqing walked slowly back home.

His family built a big house more than three years ago. Although it was a brick and earth structure like those in the countryside, he looked at it gloomily.

His father was also far-sighted, as he died half a year after the house was built.

If he hadn't built this house, the mother and son would still have to live in the thatched hut.

As soon as Li saw him, tears started falling again.

Cao Shuqing was extremely upset, and his face turned slightly colder: "Mom, you should remarry!"

Li was so shocked by these words that her tears were all shut up. She was speechless: "W-what?"

"You cry every day, isn't it because you don't have a man anymore? Then marry someone new!"

Li paused and looked at him in shock, her eyes full of disbelief: "You, what did you say?"

Cao Shuqing said coldly: "If you cry when you see me again, then go and remarry. My son supports you! If you want to live a good life in the future, I will help you achieve it when my son passes the imperial examination. Think about it yourself."

After saying that, he went into the house, took some money, and went out.

Li was so shocked by his words that she stood there in a daze.

Cao Shuqing went to town.

He wanted to meet Meng Yufan.
