Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

If he had the opportunity to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he might have been an official now.

After more than twenty years of hard study, I can give an explanation to my parents.

Old Lady Liu seemed to recall something and looked at Old Man Yuan and asked, "When you were about to take the exam for the scholar degree, did your cousin ask you to borrow something?"

So much time had passed that Old Man Yuan had forgotten everything. He looked at Old Lady Liu blankly, scratching his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes? No?"

"Yes, I remember it very clearly. That day, your cousin said that his clothes had all been washed by his cousin's wife and he was worried that he would miss the exam and fail to pass, so he came to ask you to borrow a nice piece of clothing."

The situation that day became increasingly clear in Old Lady Liu's mind. She was watching from afar at the time, and she still remembered how she felt at the time.

She was a little depressed at that time. Her old man didn't have any good clothes. They were all torn and patched with layers of stitches.

I don't have any nice clothes on.

Old man Yuan found a piece of clothing with few patches and lent it to his cousin. Instead of being disgusted, his cousin left with a happy look on his face.

The clothes have not been returned yet.

"Now that you mention it, I actually have some impression. It was indeed my cousin who asked me to borrow clothes at that time." Old man Yuan's memory was a little fuzzy, but he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such an incident.

At that time, he borrowed the money, packed his clothes and went to take the exam.

I don’t have time to think about so much.

More than twenty years have passed, and I have completely forgotten many small things.

"Although I haven't seen your cousin much, I've heard from the village teacher that he has mediocre talent. It's a rare opportunity for him to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. On the contrary, you are very intelligent and you will be able to pass the imperial examination even if you can't pass the third place. At the very least, you can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi or a Tanhua. In the end, you didn't even pass the imperial examination. On the contrary, your mediocre cousin passed the imperial examination and rose to prominence."

"Sometimes fate can be considered a kind of luck. You, old man, became even more outrageous later on. You took the examination for the scholar for many years but failed. Even the teacher in the village said that your qualifications were becoming more and more mediocre." After saying this, Old Lady Liu sighed. Seeing Old Man Yuan, she felt all kinds of emotions coming up, which later turned into a sigh.

When Old Lady Liu was young, she married Old Man Yuan because he was well-educated and knowledgeable. She thought that even though she would not become rich after marrying him, she should be able to live a carefree life.

Who knew life would be so hard.

When Old Man Yuan heard what Old Lady Liu said, his face flushed with guilt, embarrassment, and helplessness.

Yuan Laosi was a smart man. He immediately extracted the key information from Old Lady Liu's mouth. He frowned and looked at Old Lady Liu and others.

"Have you ever heard of a folk magic called borrowing luck?"

After hearing this, Yaoyao looked at Yuan Laosi and nodded repeatedly.

Fourth uncle is so smart!

"Borrowing luck? What do you mean by borrowing luck? What is that?" Yuan Lao Er looked confused.

Even Old Lady Liu, Old Man Yuan, and Old Third Yuan looked at Old Fourth Yuan with confusion.

"Borrowing luck means lending our luck to others, allowing others to take away our good luck, and the person whose luck is borrowed will become more and more unlucky." Yuan Laosi explained.

Yuan Lao Er still didn't quite understand what Yuan Lao Si meant, so he asked, "And then?"

"Then your fate will be exchanged with the other person. The better one person lives, the worse the other person lives, forming a sharp contrast.

I don't know if my guess is right, but what Mom said makes it seem even more likely. Yuan Lao Si's bony hands tapped the table, looking at Yaoyao, who was still eating her cheese, and said, "Why don't you ask Yaoyao? I think she definitely knows about the technique of borrowing luck."

Everyone looked at Yaoyao who was eating milk cheese with a spoon.
