A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

The old couple heard the noise and ran out in a hurry. "What are you doing? Looking for trouble as soon as you come back?"

The two brothers who were accused held the book and looked at their mother, their eyes full of indignation and resentment.

"Mom, they snatched my books as soon as they came in." Lin Dahe complained when he saw the people coming. He straightened his back and waited for his support.

Mrs. Li felt a headache when she looked at her three sons.

"Mom, the fourth child doesn't want to study anymore, but my second brother's and my children have already enrolled in school. You can't study without books, so these books will be given to the children first."

Old Mrs. Li's lips moved and her throat was dry.

Old man Lin tightened his grip on his pipe.

They bought these books with money, so they knew their value. When the family was divided, the others had never been to school and didn't know their value. No one mentioned it, so the books were not counted as part of the family property. Since no one objected, they just turned a blind eye and decided to leave it that way.

Yesterday, the second son said he wanted to send the children to school. She reacted strongly because she felt guilty and was afraid that they would make a fuss if they knew. But she couldn't stop them! Today, the two sons went to the city, and she was very nervous and couldn't make it happen.

"These books are mine," Lin Dahe said quietly. "If anyone dares to steal them, I will go to the city and beat the drum to protest."

"Yours? Did you buy it?"

"My mother bought it for me." Li Dahe said confidently.

"Since mother bought them, they belong to the public school. Mother, tell me, to whom do these books belong?" Lin Dahai stared at his mother with sharp eyes.

Li felt upset at being oppressed by her own child. She burst into tears and closed her eyes.

"It's yours, yours. Fourth brother, you won't need these, so give them to the other kids first. Later, when you and Cuihua grow up, I'll give them to your kids."

It means belonging to the public.

"Mother!" Lin Dahe roared in despair. Did she know how much these books were worth?

She is crazy!

Lin Dahai had no objection to this, as long as his child had books to read.

"Did you hear that, fourth brother? Mom said that when your child needs to study in the future, you can come to our child for the book." She was ready to go out with the book in her arms.

"Wait, I'll give you the children's enlightenment books, I still want to read the rest." Lin Dahe thought that every copy he could keep was a good one. Besides, he really didn't plan to give up the imperial examination. It was his only chance to make a name for himself.

"Okay, but fourth brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, this is a public property. If you damage it or lose it, you will have to pay for it."

"You... are so outrageous!" Lin Dahe became furious when his thoughts were exposed.

"Second brother, count how many books there are. By the way, mother, I was in the bookstore today and heard that some scholars copied books to earn tuition fees, so I asked a question. It seems that fourth brother has also taken up the task." Lin Dahai stared at him with anger in his eyes. If his parents were not there, he would definitely beat this beast.

When he was in the bookstore and lamented about the high prices of books, the boss casually mentioned the price of copying books. He immediately realized that something was wrong. If all the scholars from poor families could do it, why didn't his fourth brother do it? He casually asked another question, and unexpectedly, the boss actually knew him, because his fourth brother was very frequent in delivering books.

Since you are very hardworking, it means you are earning money. If you are earning money, why do you complain about being poor all day long and go home to ask for every penny?

"Fourth brother, where is the money you earn every day?"

Old Man Lin was disappointed when he saw his sons fighting each other and no one was willing to give in. He was even more disappointed with the fourth son, who had a profitable business but always complained about being poor when he came home. Even when he made money, he never bought a piece of cloth for him and his wife.

Li was completely unaware of this. She rubbed her aching head and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. Now that you have separated, you should live your own lives from now on. As for these books, they belong to me and your father. You are just borrowing them. Do you understand?"

The old man's eyes were full of sternness as he scanned everyone present.

"Yes."

The two brothers happily went out with the books in their arms. What a pleasant surprise! It was truly a pleasant surprise. If it hadn't happened today, it would have been a great boon for the fourth brother.

"Second brother, I'm afraid the rest may be hard to come by."

"What are you afraid of? Don't you still have mother? Besides, we have taken most of it, so it's not a loss." Lin Dachuan was not worried at all. The fourth brother didn't dare to be greedy for the public property. He didn't have the courage to do so.

That's right, these were not originally theirs, they were all unexpected gains. Lin Dahai was generous and was comforted by himself in a moment.

The boys were both happy and nervous when they heard that they would go to school the day after tomorrow. Especially Lin Fuqiang, he clenched his fists, his body was trembling slightly, and his excitement was beyond words.

Lin Dachuan patted his shoulder, feeling quite unhappy.

His eldest son had his good life wasted for several years.

When Yang and Song heard that someone had signed up, they were overjoyed. They each took their men home and asked them in detail.

"Where is the money you earned from copying books?" Li Cuihua's voice was extremely cold.
