Chapter 10 Relatives(1/2)
Shen Lin knew that this aunt had always been aggressive.
And because the shrewd third uncle knew a few words, he often ran errands with Yang Chengliang, the head of the village.
Therefore, the third aunt used to look down on Shen Lin.
"Ah, by the way, third aunt, I borrowed two bushels of wheat from your house in February!"
"As time went by, my nephew even forgot about it!"
"It was my fault, please forgive me!"
"What about that, Chu'er, I'll get you two buckets of white flour for Aunt Three in a moment!"
After all, Third Uncle has a good face.
He didn't expect his nephew to pay it back at first.
After all, Shen Lin was idle all day long at that time.
Just treat it like a meat bun beating a dog!
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"It's just two bushels of wheat, what else does Third Uncle expect from you?"
Shen Zhonghe ignored his wife's desperate winks and persuaded her instead.
"Shen Lin, you have indeed made some money recently, but you should save some money!"
"Tsk, tsk, even the horse was sold, you..."
He almost stopped reprimanding him!
When you are proud, you become rampant.
You have a little money, Shen Lin, don't you know how much you weigh?
Our village chief has a great family and a great business.
No one else is as arrogant as you!
The second uncle, who has always been honest and kind, couldn't help but say.
"Lao San, what are you talking about?"
"No matter how good our Shen Lin is, he is still a scholar!"
"What's wrong with buying a horse? You have to spend the money, right?"
"If I lend you two bushels of wheat and return two bushels of flour, just accept it with peace of mind!"
“After such a long time, it’s not just interest, it’s still the child’s kindness!”
The third aunt immediately stopped, squinting her eyes and putting her hands on her hips.
“Second brother, you’re talking to someone just because they have a promising future?”
"Isn't Shen Lin partial? Did he find a good job for your Dazhu and Shuanzi?"
"Hey, working in the water mill costs thirty cash a day!"
Shen Lin suddenly realized.
Although the third aunt has a bad temper, she is not so sarcastic.
Where are the roots of feelings?
Do you think I took care of the two boys in my second uncle's family, but not their third bedroom?
God, the first two in your family are both daughters, right?
The third uncle was so tired that he had worked hard for many nights.
Shen Quan was just born.
But this guy is only 9 years old and he often skips school.
Can I still work if I run around barefoot every day?
The second aunt was not happy either.
Although she doesn't like to argue, no matter how good-tempered she is, who wants to suffer a loss?
"Third daughter-in-law, what are you yelling about?"
"You envy my Dazhu, Shuanzi, right?"
"Then you asked the third child to quit his errand work and work in the mill?"
"Anyway, the mill is now under the ownership of the village manager. I heard that we are going to add a few more large mills!"
The third aunt was speechless for a moment.
Even if the man in the family is being called around, he is just doing errands.
That’s better than working hard, right?
She just feels unbalanced.
After the death of Father Shen Lin, the family fortunes plummeted.
As a direct relative, whether from the second uncle's or third uncle's family.
Who hasn’t extended a hand to help?
But later on, Shen Lin really failed to live up to expectations.
Everyone was a little disheartened.
Only then did he gradually stop asking!
Shen Lin wondered if he wanted to expand into the textile industry, where would he find suitable manpower?
As the saying goes, good news should not fall into the hands of outsiders.
The second uncle and the third uncle's two families can still use each other!
"Okay, Chu'er, don't try that crappy machine!"
"I just happened to buy some wine and meat from the county town. Let's have a good meal together as a family today!"
When the third aunt heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly got off the slope.
"Okay, okay, second sister-in-law, let's go see his new stove and see if it works well!"
All the women went to help.
Shen Lin invited Shen Zhonghe and Shen Zhongyuan to the main room and poured tea.
"Second uncle, third uncle, my nephew is in trouble and I want to ask for your help!"
"Third uncle, you are running errands with the mayor, which is a bit unfair."
"If you don't mind, could you tell me? How much money can you make in a month?"
The second uncle pouted: "How much can I earn?"
"He just wants to be easy, but he can't keep up with us in cultivating the land!"
"You don't even have one tael of silver a month, right?"
The third uncle choked for a long time and his face turned red.
"Alas, Shen Lin, my uncle's situation back then was almost... almost the same as yours!"
"When your grandfather was here, he wished he could support a scholar."
"As a result, my ability to study is still not as good as yours later!"
"Your second uncle is right. When times are good, I only get one tael of silver a month!"
Shen Lin wasn't sure about this.
After all, after traveling through time, some memories were lost.
But fortunately, Third Uncle was one of the few scholars in the village.
Although there is a public school in the village, how long can the children study?
How many other families would spare no effort like their grandfather and father?
Do you just want to cultivate a talented person and raise people to compete with your own family?
Ordinary farmers just hope that their children can recognize a few words.
It’s good to calculate the numbers clearly so you don’t get scammed!
This is also the reason why the old scholar Tian Wenqing is extremely disappointed with Shen Lin.
Among the dwarfs, there is a tall man.
It’s hard to find someone who can read, right?
Once my father died, there was no one to control him, so he let himself go.
