Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

The scholar was so ashamed and angry that he said, "Even if you saved my life that day, you don't have to talk about it every day. Now I have no money, how can I repay you? You can see that I am not fit to work in the fields.

I can only find a way to make a living, teaching and studying literature at the same time. When the imperial examination is restored in the future, I will pass it and repay you for saving my life. By then, I will return the money I spent on food and drink many times over. Why should the village chief be in such a hurry?"

The village chief saw through him and would not believe him anymore. He was already like this before he even got into high school. He might even take revenge on him when he got into high school. And he said he would get into high school, so what if he didn't? What would he use to pay him back?

But I won't offend him to death, just in case he is lucky enough to get into high school. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future, right?

The village chief lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had a granddaughter who had lost her innocence. Although she had not lost her virginity, she had been touched, hugged, and her clothes had been torn, which meant she had lost her innocence.

The original villagers all knew about this matter, and it was inevitable that the truth would come out. As long as the granddaughter proposed marriage, people would gossip about it. It would be better to point to this scholar. If he really passed the imperial examination, his granddaughter might be the wife of a juren or an official.

It doesn't matter if he fails, at least it will sound good to the scholar's wife. Besides, he is still a teacher now, so he doesn't have to worry about their future source of livelihood.

It's a win-win situation no matter how you think about it. Anyway, your granddaughter won't be married to a good family. The scholar is alone and easy to control. There's no need to worry about complicated relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sisters-in-law in the future. Thinking about it this way, there are only benefits and no harm. It's very good.

Thinking of this, the old village chief softened his tone. "I don't really need any reward, I'm just angry that you left without saying goodbye. We've been together for so long, and I've always treated you as my own junior. What are your plans? You should at least tell me. Can I support you to come out and teach?"

The scholar was a little overwhelmed by the village chief's sudden gentle attitude, and then he heard the village chief say: "Xiucai, you are the only one left in your family, and there is no elder to plan your future life.

I have always valued you, so I will be your elder. We will be even closer, and someone will take care of your daily life. You can teach, study, and take the imperial examinations with peace of mind!

Besides, you have also seen my granddaughter. She knows my granddaughter well, is thrifty, good-looking, and has a gentle personality. She is not the kind of troublemaker, so she is a perfect match for you.

We have raised you with great care, and now you are old enough to get married. I don't feel comfortable leaving you with someone else. You just happened to appear, and I just happened to save you. So it seems like it is fate made in heaven between you two. What do you think?" Although the village chief was asking him, his tone was impermissible!

When the scholar heard this, he was almost furious. What the hell was this fate made in heaven? Did they really treat him as a fool? How could he not know what was going on with his village granddaughter?

They all fled from famine, their bodies were seen and touched, and their clothes were torn off! Many villagers saw this, if this was a daughter of an official family, she would probably have drowned herself in a pond.

At the very least, she would have to live in a nunnery for the rest of her life. How could the village chief dare to make such an excessive request to a village girl who had lost her innocence? Even the villagers in their village would not want her, not to mention that he was a scholar with a good reputation.

His whole family used their lives to buy time to save him and let him escape. Although he is now down and out and he is the only one left, he also has the ambition to revive the family!

Even if he could not take the imperial examination now, he could still use his academic achievements to find a daughter of a minor official or a merchant to marry. Giving birth to the next generation, training them well, and letting them take the imperial examination would also help revitalize the family.

He never expected that now that he was in such a desperate situation, a villager who was not the village chief could insult him like this. When had he ever been insulted like this before? He could never accept it.

"Old village chief, I cannot obey your order! When my parents were alive, they said that you don't have to marry a daughter-in-law who is high-ranking or high-ranking, but she must be of equal status. At least she must be reasonable and self-respecting. You must never marry a woman who has lost her chastity.

Don't worry, village chief. I will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future. As for marriage, I have my own plans, so don't worry about it." The scholar refused righteously.

The village chief was also very angry. Although it was one thing for family members to know their own affairs, it was still very embarrassing to have someone talk about it in person, and his face turned red.

“It seems that you don’t want to repay this favor. Also, now that you have the support of the village chief and a teaching position, you are determined to get rid of us.

Well, I will go to the village chief's house tomorrow and tell the villagers how you are ungrateful, how you are ungrateful, how you try to cling to the upper branches, how you leave without saying goodbye, and how the scholar bullies us ordinary people..." Don't even think about leaving after saying that.

"Old village chief, do you have to make things so extreme?" the scholar stopped him and asked.

"I didn't want to either. Who told me to save an ungrateful white-eyed wolf?"

"Apart from discussing marriage, what can the village chief do to let me go?"

"It seems that you really don't like my granddaughter. Well, I won't force you. Just give me the silver. I don't want more. Just five hundred taels. You also know that the bandits robbed all my belongings. Now I also need silver to settle my family. How about handing over the silver and we can settle our grudges?"

"You are really going too far. I am penniless now, how can I come up with five hundred taels of silver? Moreover, you have saved me until now, and I have never spent more than ten taels of your silver. You are really greedy."

"Our lives as peasants are worthless. But isn't your life as a scholar worth five hundred taels? As for how to make this money, you figure it out yourself. I don't care. I'll give you three days to raise the money. Think about it carefully." After the village chief said this, he turned and left.

"Aren't you afraid that I will spread the news that your granddaughter has lost her virginity, and you will use the excuse of repaying a favor to force me to marry your granddaughter?" the scholar shouted behind him.

"Go ahead and spread the word. At worst, I can support her for the rest of her life, or marry her off to a remote place. At worst, you can send her to a nunnery. Anyway, we barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes. As for you? You will be ruined. Not only will you repay kindness with enmity, but you will also ruin the life of your benefactor's granddaughter. You can decide for yourself which is more important. I'll come back in three days." After saying this, the village chief left without looking back!

The village chief was certain that the scholar would marry her granddaughter, so it didn't matter if he borrowed five hundred taels of silver to give it to her. He wouldn't lose anything anyway!

Even if the scholar was about to die of anger, he could do nothing about it. It was also a fact that he was saved. He could have taken out the five hundred taels before he fell into trouble, but now, it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him.

Even if I were to borrow, I wouldn't know where to borrow. I don't have any relatives or friends in this village. Who would lend a large sum of money to a stranger? Not to mention that I don't have such a large sum of money, I wouldn't lend it even if I had it.
