Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Su Tong's eyes were filled with tears, and she acted like a wronged wife. "My dear, we are husband and wife, how could I possibly lie to you about something like this? And I hope more than anyone else that you can pass the imperial examination, and I will definitely do my best to support you in the imperial examination. In addition to selling everything that can be sold at home, even my dowry..."

Li Qingshan's face looked a little ugly. It would be embarrassing to use the woman's dowry. But his family really had no money. What should he do with his four treasures of the study?

Li Qingshan looked around the home and felt disappointed. When his parents were alive, the family was wealthy and healthy, and there were even some decorations in the rooms. But since he failed the exams many times, the family had no income and the expenses were increasing.

"Is there really no other way?" Li Qingshan's face looked a little ugly, especially since his life had been getting worse and worse recently, and he hadn't been to Xinghualou for a drink for a long time.

Su Tong wiped her tears and said, "My dear, we have sold everything that needs to be sold. Now we really have nothing left. If there is anything valuable left, it is only this old house..."

Li Qingshan's face changed immediately. He could sell other things but not his ancestral home. This was the family business left by his ancestors. Otherwise, he would be criticized by others.

Li Qingshan's face was long, and he couldn't bring himself to ask Su Tong to borrow money from her parents. He could only leave the room with an unmoved expression.

Su Tong has been married to the other party for so many years that he is like an insider in the other party's heart, so he naturally understands what the other party was thinking just now.

Li Qingshan was a scholar after all, and he really wanted to take the imperial examination. He gritted his teeth, pawned a jade pendant that his grandparents had given him when they were still alive, and then bought a few rolls of the cheapest paper and the cheapest ink.

Looking at the little money left, Li Qingshan didn't think about buying some rice or flour to help his family. Instead, he turned around and looked for his classmates, drinking with them until all the money was spent. Only then did he return home with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Su Tong was at least on good terms with the people around him in Daliang, so he knew about Li Qingshan's visit as soon as he arrived at the pawnshop.

I thought this man was finally willing to be a human being, but I didn't expect that he was still selfish and only thought about himself.

Never mind. It seems I really can’t ask for too much.

Su Tong started out by giving special treatment to his daughter without telling the other party, mainly to subsidize his little daughter. Seeing his little daughter gradually becoming fair and tender, Su Tong felt relieved.

Li Qingshan's life was not so easy. He only had one jade pendant and nothing else valuable on him. As the weather got colder, the food at home became worse and worse. In the past, they could only have some watery porridge, but now they had to eat bran and vegetables.

Li Qingshan couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing that Su Tong had recovered, he began to persuade her to do some embroidery, or even to take some work outside. She couldn't just stay at home and eat idle meals.

Su Tong almost laughed out loud at the other person's words. Who is eating free meals in this family? He has a big and strong body, but he doesn't know the difference between grains and is lazy. If he hadn't been born in the feudal era and had a few brains and passed the imperial examination, he would probably starve to death in modern society.

Su Tong suppressed her anger and pretended to be submissive, "My husband, you are a scholar, and I am a lady from a wealthy family. How can I do a job that requires me to be in the spotlight?

Even if there is no money at home, what can we do? Starving to death is a small matter, but losing one's chastity is a big matter."

Now it was Li Qingshan's turn to be speechless. He couldn't say that reputation was nothing and was not as important as filling his stomach. But he was a scholar and always talked about dignity, so he must not do anything dishonorable.

Li Qingshan was filled with anger, and when he went out, a cold wind blew on his face, which made his stomach feel even worse. He hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and now he was even hungrier.

Su Tong was still in a weak body. When the other party asked him to do something, Su Tong coughed hard.

Su Tong did not provoke the other party. Instead, he made a handkerchief every three to five days, exchanged it for dozens of copper coins, and then bought some brown rice to cook porridge.

Anyway, he was kept hanging there half-dead until Li Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore. He had no energy to do anything, and he watched Su Tong lying in bed all day long, but he couldn't blame him. He could only direct all his anger at the child.

"How come you can't even do such a small thing? The house hasn't been cleaned for a long time. And why can't my clothes be washed clean?" Li Qingshan pointed at the girl who was less than 10 years old and scolded loudly.

Su Tong looked at the other person coldly. He was a man after all. It was fine that he let his children suffer because of his incompetence, but he even blamed a 10-year-old girl for not helping him wash his clothes. He had such a big face.

"Husband, ahem... Ruyi is still a child, she can't even hold the basin steadily, it's normal that she didn't wash the clothes clean, there's no need to be so harsh." Su Tong glanced outside the door, "Our neighbor Aunt Wang, her daughter is only one year older than our Ruyi, but she has never washed winter clothes, mainly because those clothes are very heavy after being wet, and children have no way to wash them.

If you feel that it is not clean enough, you can spend a few copper coins to hire someone to clean it."

Li Qingshan was filled with anger, "It's all because you, as a mother, didn't teach your child well that this child is so unruly.

As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Hurry up and stretch out your hand. I want to teach her a lesson. "

Su Tong naturally didn't want Li Qingshan to beat his child, so he spoke out to stop him immediately. However, he underestimated how shameless Li Qingshan was. So, after the other party hit him twice, he could only press Ruyi's acupoints directly, causing the other party to faint.

"Oh my God, daughter, what happened to you? Please don't scare me." Su Tong pretended to be panic-stricken and quickly asked them to help call the doctor back.

Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment. He just slapped the child on the hand a few times to teach him a lesson, but how could he have made the child pass out?

It is normal to teach a child a lesson. Which elder doesn't beat his or her own children? But beating a child until he or she faints is different. Others will think that you are cruel and unworthy of the elders' kindness.

After the neighbors heard the noise, a kind-hearted person quickly called a doctor. Su Tong checked the child's pulse and finally concluded that the child was frightened and had convulsions and fainted after being beaten.

Li Qingshan next to him was still mumbling, "It was obviously this child who did something wrong. It would be fine if he didn't correct it, but he scared himself..."

Su Tong couldn't bear it any longer. He rolled his eyes and sobbed as he recounted what had just happened. Then everyone looked at Li Qingshan with strange eyes.
