43 Fifth Uncle Spent Our Money?

“Exactly, my eldest grandson only needs at most two taels of silver a month. His mother already thought it was too much. Now it seems that my grandson is really frugal.”

“Damn, six taels of silver a month. This should be enough to support several scholars…”

Once they said that, the Lin family’s eldest son, second son, and their wives could not remain calm.

First Uncle Lin had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Lin Dazhuang, was older than Lin Yuanshan, and the youngest son was only one year younger than Lin Yuanshan. Previously, he had mentioned to his mother that he wanted to send his children to school.

However, she said that Dazhuang was not smart enough to study and was far less intelligent than Lin Yuanshan.

When it came to Xiaozhuang, she said that the family couldn’t afford to support two scholars.

Now they realized that other scholars only needed two taels of silver a month, but his fifth brother actually got six.

Thinking that the money that Lin Yuanshan spent might be the money that Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang could use to go to school, First Uncle Lin and his wife looked at Lin Yuanshan differently.

Not only them, Second Uncle Lin and his wife were also in the same situation.

The two of them also had two sons. Lin Dashan and Lin Xiaoshan also did not go to school.

Meanwhile, Fourth Uncle Lin was not married because they did not have enough money. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

When he thought about the money that Lin Yuanshan spent might be the betrothal money for his wife, he was upset.

“Grandma! Is what Xiaoyue said true? Fifth uncle spent our school money!” Lin Xiaozhuang was not as calm as his father and uncles.

He always envied his fifth uncle. He had good food and clothes, did not have to work in the fields, and the whole family spoiled him.

If he could go to school, his grades would definitely be better.

He had asked his parents about going to school, but he had been rejected. They said that the family could not afford two scholars. And his fifth uncle was smart, and he was already in school for so long.

It took a long time before he accepted it.

But know he knew that other scholars only spent one tael of silver a month!

Six taels was enough for six scholars. Only he and his brother could go to school, even Dashan and Xiaoshan could!

Fifth uncle was too selfish! Was he afraid that they would become scholars and threaten his position in the family?

Old Lady Lin looked anxiously at Lin Yuanshan, not knowing how to answer her grandson’s question.

She did not expect that others only need one tael of silver a month.

Lin Yuanshan’s face was pale, and he looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a murderous look 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

But he could not attack Lin Xiaoyue, instead he tugged at Old Lady Lin’s sleeve.

He lowered his voice and said to Old Lady Lin, “mother, I’ll explain this to you later. Let’s settle Xiaoyue first.”

Old Lady Lin froze. When she heard her youngest son say that he could explain it to her, she calmed down.

Her fifth son was the most promising one. He had been smart since he was young.

He told her before that he spent the money to socialize and prepare for the entrance exam next year.

His situation was different, so how could he be compared to those blockheads in the village?

“Aiyo, you unfilial child! How could you question your fifth uncle like that? Do you know how much he spent on networking? I will beat you to death for talking nonsense!” Old Lady Lin suddenly picked up her cane and was about to hit Lin Xiaoyue.

Of course, Lin Xiaoyue would not just take the hit and immediately dodged.
