The daily life of a peasant girl taking the imperial examination

Look at him, he's so young, yet his grandfather has spoiled him so much that he's saying such heinous things.

Thinking of this, Li Dani glanced at Zhuge Erzhuang, who was silently acting like a dead man, and pinched him hard in anger. Zhuge Erzhuang felt a little soft-hearted, but seeing his good-for-nothing son rolling on the ground and swearing to curse them, he hardened his heart, took off his right shoe, pulled his son's buttocks out, and hit them hard more than a dozen times.

Instantly, the dog's heart-wrenching cries echoed through the farmhouse courtyard.

Seeing this, the eldest daughter, Zhuge Zhaodi, said with some fear:

"Mom, why don't you give this fried egg in my bowl to my little brother?"

At this moment, Li Dani was in a bad mood. Seeing this, she glared at him and said sharply:

"You guys better eat right now, or this kind of situation will happen frequently in the house..."

At this point, she thought of the precious method Zhuge Yunshu had mentioned, so she suppressed her anger and smiled slightly:

"It was all my fault before, I spoiled the kids too much. From now on, your dad and I will try our best to treat everyone equally... In fact, if you behave well, I'll even reward you with some nice treats..."

At this moment, the dog lying on the ground, upon hearing its mother's words, was first stunned, and then let out a howl even more pitiful than before:

"I don't want to, I don't want to, Mother, you and Father, just you wait. You're treating me like this now, but when you're old, I'll definitely get my revenge..."

At this moment, Zhuge Pandi, who was happily eating a fried egg, suddenly spoke up upon seeing this, her voice loud:

"Mother, don't worry. When you get old, if my brother dares to hit you, my five older sisters, my younger sister, and I will definitely protect you..."

The youngest, Zhuge Laidi, rolled her eyes and continued Zhuge Pandi's words:

“I will protect Mother. In the future, my sixth sister, fifth sister, and I will study hard and then go to town to find a job like Uncle Tonglaigui. We will take care of you in your old age.”

Whether it's genuine or not, anyone can say nice things!

Her sixth sister said that after Da Hua and the others finished their ancestral worship ceremony, the clan school would begin selecting girls to study at the school. Although there were only three spots, they would be content as long as their mother gave them all such an opportunity, even if only one of them was selected.

And just in time, with the younger brother dog acting crazy, this was the perfect opportunity.

Li Dani was already heartbroken by her son's words, but when she heard her two daughters' thoughtful words, she felt a warm feeling in her heart for some reason.

“Niandi, Pandi, and Laidi, the three of you mustn’t be like Gouzi. These next few days, don’t go out to work. Instead, go to the clan school and learn some things on your own. After Dahua and the others finish their ancestral worship, you three must participate in the clan school selection this time. If any one of you is selected, all the good food in the house will be reserved for you from now on…”

Not only that, Mother will also make new clothes for you... Luckily, the piece of fabric I prepared to make clothes for your younger brother last time hasn't been cut yet. I'll get it now and make clothes for you first!"

Sure enough, just as Da Hua said, as long as the daughter gives them a little something, they will think of her with all their heart and soul.

But it's different with sons. If you treat them badly even once, they might hold a grudge against the couple for life.

No wonder the clan elder's family, the village chief's third uncle's family, and the harvest-producing second uncle's family all put so much effort into raising their daughters; it turns out they wanted to do both.

If the son becomes disabled, there is still the daughter to rely on.

Oh, no, it seems that all three of them, whether boys or girls, are the most outstanding among the younger generation in their clans.

Just as the precious method says, smart families will spend a lot of effort to cultivate their daughters, so that even if the sons in the family are not good enough, they will still have a skill.

No wonder these three families are doing better and better, especially Uncle Fengshou's family. They used to be in a similar situation, but since they sent their granddaughter to the clan school, their lives have undergone a complete transformation.

Thinking about this, Li Dani suddenly felt that even her mind had become much clearer.

......

At this moment, a fierce argument was also taking place at the home of Zhuge Erniu at the west end of Zhuge Village.

"Erniu, are you trying to kill Jinbao? How old is he? If you hurt him, how will he take the clan school exam in three years?" An old man with white hair quickly shielded his eight-year-old grandson behind him.

It would have been better if they hadn't talked about studying; the moment they did, Zhuge Erniu got even angrier.

"With his lazy and good-for-nothing character, he still wants to study? What a load of crap... Dad, please don't stop me. You heard what Da Hua said this morning, didn't you? If you keep protecting him like this, you're just harming him. How many more years can we spoil him? What will happen in the future..."

Zhang Xiulan felt heartbroken to see her beloved son being beaten, but there was nothing she could do; she had no say in the family.

So, she could only huddle in a corner with her two daughters, trembling with fear.

"From today onwards, Mai'er and Cao'er will stay home and study hard. Jinbao will do all their chores. If he dares to slack off, he won't get dinner..."

Also, Mai'er and Cao'er study hard, so we boil them an egg every day to help them get some nutrition. In our family, lazybones don't deserve to eat.

His words stunned the rest of the family.

Especially the mother and her two children hiding in the corner, who were looking at Zhuge Erniu with disbelief.

At this moment, they opened their mouths as if to say something, but for some reason, as soon as the words reached their throats, they couldn't say them.

Looking at her two daughters, who were as thin as skin and bones, nestled in her arms, Zhang Xiulan's eyes filled with tears.

Although she didn't know what had gotten into her husband today, she was satisfied as long as the final outcome was good.

what?

The daughter stole the opportunity for her son to attend the clan school and even took away his special tutoring.

That certainly doesn't exist.

Given her husband's patriarchal nature, it's hard to say how long he can hold out.

Taking advantage of her husband's momentary lapse in judgment, she decided to give her two daughters a good boost.
