MTL - Almighty Dad-Chapter 137 Landlord Dad's Trouble 24
Liu Juhua took a few deep breaths, expelled the turbid air in her heart, stood firm, looked at Han Ze and said harshly: "Han Ze, you are really my good son, just wait, you are so unfilial, God will sooner or later Accept you."
Han Ze raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, with Han Xingwang and Han Chengming here, God will not accept me first, they are worse than me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Ju's heart skipped a beat, and she bluffed.
"Isn't mother the clearest?" Han Ze sneered, "Don't tell me, you have spent half your life with Han Xingwang, and you still don't know what kind of person he is. My mother is not so stupid."
"What do I know? I don't know anything."
Liu Juhua's face turned red all the time. After being married to Han Xingwang for so many years, she has four children and several grandchildren. If she doesn't know what kind of person Han Xingwang is, she is really an idiot.
Even though he knew that he was scheming all over his body, he still acted according to him. The scheming of Han Ze's money was only because it was beneficial to her, and because she gave birth to all four children in the family. ? She just opened one eye and closed one eye, pretending to be invisible.
Han Ze didn't take it seriously: "Then you don't know anything about being a mother. That's right, no matter what you think or calculate, I won't accept any tricks, and it's useless."
Liu Juhua was in another block, knowing that this calculation had failed, she was too lazy to talk nonsense with Han Ze, thinking of running to find Chengming's servant, she stomped her feet vigorously, if the servant arrived at home, she would dare to say what Han Ze said, This matter will definitely be spread throughout the village, why is she still staying in the village? Thinking of this, she quickly caught up with the servant and prevented him from going to her house.
Han Ze let her go away. Apart from controlling Liu Juhua to plot against him, what else could Han Xingwang do to him?
...
Han Shubo didn't go to the school to study since he took the test in the county. He read and practiced calligraphy at home every day.
Han Ze was busy planting flowers, so he didn't know his work and rest situation. When Han Ze finished planting the flowers, he got up to study before dawn. After breakfast, he went straight to the study and didn't come out until noon. After that, he didn't take a lunch break, and went to the study again. As for after dinner, he must stay in the study.
All in all, for twelve hours a day, except for eating, sleeping and going to the latrine, he spent all his time in the study, reading and practicing calligraphy.
Han Ze frowned, and didn't reprimand him. The child studied diligently. He had nothing to reprimand, but when the book fair got up to read again before dawn the next day, he also got up, went to the study, and said involuntarily. : "Follow me for a run."
"What kind of steps are you running?" Han Shubo was stunned. What is running?
Han Ze glanced at him: "Come with me."
Han Shubo looked at the book in his hand hesitantly: "Father, I'm reading a book."
"It's not that you are not allowed to read, but early morning is a good time to exercise. Don't delay your exercise because of reading." Han Ze said, "There is no good body in the imperial examination. Even if you have real talents, you will not be able to survive in the examination room in the future , It’s useless in case you faint in the examination room.”
"Okay... let's go!" Han Shubo stood up reluctantly, but it was just for exercising, and it was lucky that his father could find so many reasons.
The father and son ran along the path in the garden. Seeing that his son didn't believe what he said, he said slowly, "You enter the county examination every day, you can come out after the exam on the same day, and you can enter the next day. You don't need to stay overnight in the examination room. It didn't take long, so no one fainted... The college exam takes three days, and you have to stay in the exam room for three days. If you don't have a strong body, fainting in the exam room is also a common thing."
"It's not that serious, is it? It's just a test, and you will pass out?" Han Shubo heard this for the first time, and he was obviously a little frightened.
Han Ze smiled: "In the future, you will have to live in the examination room for the provincial examinations. You will be nervous and can't eat well or sleep well. The environment in the examination room is bad. If you don't pay attention, you will get sick. At that time, there will be more scholars who faint. , Do you think it's serious?"
Han Shubo frowned, thought for a while and said: "In this case, the school should not only teach students the knowledge of the imperial examination, but also teach students how to pass the imperial examination safely, so the school should increase accordingly. Some martial arts classes to enhance students' physical fitness."
Han Ze couldn't help but look at this son with admiration. This child is really smart and knows how to draw inferences. He was not only a little relieved, but also very relieved. He smiled and said, "You can talk about this with the teachers in your school, but please ask someone It is not easy to be a martial arts master, and I think your Shu Xiu will increase accordingly."
Han Shubo said: "Since physical strength is so important to the scientific examination, I believe those parents will not have any objection to increasing the number of beams."
Han Ze said: "Let's not care about that much. Since I am studying at home these days, let's go for a run with Dad every day."
Han Shubo: "..."
...
At the beginning of May, Han Chengming and his son came back from Fucheng. Seeing Han Chengming's happy face, the villagers wondered if Han Jixue and Han Jiwen passed the exam, so they are all children? Of course not, only Han Jiwen passed the exam.
The reason why Han Chengming was happy was that his two sons went to the scientific examination together, and one of them passed the examination and the other failed. He finally stopped making troubles and passed the Jiwen examination. He will be a child student from now on, so let him continue his studies.
As for continuing to study, I thought I was quite capable in reading at first, but I didn't do well in the two exams.
The family was already poor, so he had no choice but to let him go home. At least he could read and write, and he could be an accountant in the future. At least he didn't have to be a farmer in the fields, working hard all day. He was worthy of him as a father. up.
But why is Han Jixue willing to just be an accountant, but he just failed the exam once, and if he takes the exam again next time, he will definitely pass the exam, but his father is really cruel to let him give up the exam?
The happiest was Han Jiwen. Although he only got the last name in the government examination, at least he passed the exam. He really wanted to laugh a few times. He is a child now, but seeing his brother's gloomy face, he tried his best to hold back his face. He was overjoyed, he didn't expect his brother to fail the ranking, he is actually not much worse than his brother?
Han Jixue glanced at Han Jiwen's mouth, which couldn't be closed at all, and felt that it was extremely annoying. He always thought that he was very smart, and he always looked down on his younger brother. He still couldn't believe it. He didn't pass the two exams. This is in his eyes. Is the fool's younger brother.
Han Chengming also saw the gloom of the elder son, he patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, you looked better than Jiwen in reading, but you didn't pass the Tongsheng exam, you can only say that you deserve it."
Fate like this?
Han Jixue sneered in his heart, it's just that you don't want to work hard for me, but I don't believe in fate, even if my fate is like this, I shouldn't be an accountant or a farmer.
He looked at Han Chengming: "Father, let me try again. If I fail the exam, I won't take the exam again, okay?"
Han Chengming was in a difficult situation. After these two scientific examinations, the family no longer had much money. With his family's popularity, it was difficult to borrow even if they went out. He frowned and said, "It's not that Dad doesn't let you take the exam, it's that the family has no money."
How could Han Jixue believe that there is no money at home, even if there is no money from his parents, there must be money from his grandparents. He begged: "Father, let me take the exam again, just once, can't it be okay?"
Han Chengming looked at his son's sad and disappointed face, he couldn't bear it, he sighed: "Your grandparents saved some private money, but they kept it for your two uncles to marry their wives, so you can use it anywhere ? Your two uncles can't agree either."
When the two younger brothers were talking about their daughters-in-law, they used up the money and just paid it back after passing the school exam. If they failed, he could imagine how their eldest son's status in this family would change.
Han Jixue pursed his lips, which meant that the family was not without money. Thinking of this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Han Jiwen from the corner of his eye. If he could get money to let him continue his studies in the imperial examination, he would not get his hands dirty. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and paper can never contain fire. Just in case, can you not do it or not.
...
When the peonies bloomed in April, Han Ze received another sum of money, and he kept the money in his hands. He went to the county seat and bought some fields outside the county seat. The fields there were next to the county seat, and the price was slightly more expensive, five thousand taels Yinzi just bought a Zhuangzi, which has 700 mu of land, and the rest of the silver was used to buy gold and silver jewelry for his daughters.
Today, Han Ze privately owns about 2,000 mu of land, and each has a large courtyard in the town, county and capital.
Back home, Han Maode and others knew that he had bought more than 700 mu of land. Even knowing his son's ability to earn money, they were a little shocked.
Han Ze took out the jewelry box bought in the county and handed it to his daughters, and said gently, "Father doesn't know what style you like, so I bought a few for each of you if you think it looks good, and you can wear it."
Han Shuxin and her sisters stepped forward happily, carrying a bunch of jewelry boxes into their own small attic. Han Xiaodong looked very envious, glanced at his eldest brother several times, and felt a little wronged when he saw that he ignored her.
Wang Lanhua glared at her, she deserved it, your elder brother is alive, dare to act like a monster in front of him, wait to be dealt with.
Han Ze glanced at Han Xiaodong, his tone was calm but majestic: "Didn't I buy you a lot of jewelry in the past, why have you never seen you wear it?"
Han Xiaodong pursed his lips tightly, twisted his fingers, and did not speak.
"Speak!" Han Ze's voice suddenly rose.
Han Xiaodong shuddered, and looked at Wang Lanhua as if asking for help.
Wang Lanhua shouldn't ignore her too much, let Han Ze teach her a lesson.
Seeing that his mother didn't care about her, Han Xiaodong lowered his head, his eyes began to turn red, and after a while, big tears fell to the ground.
Han Maode was sitting next to him with his eyelids down, sucking on the cigarette holder, and letting his son teach his sister a lesson. If Han Ze was a **** before, he was a little worried when he taught his sister a lesson, but in the past two or three years, Han Ze has not taught his two sisters to read. Just buying jewelry and clothes for them, and even buying them a generous dowry, he as a father is not as good to Xiaodong and Xiaochun as his elder brother, now that Xiaochun is disobedient, the brother should be taught a lesson, and he can't relax at all, don't Thinking that the family is rich and the dowry is thick, they don't know the sky is high and the earth is big.
Han Ze looked at her stubborn face, frowned fiercely, and watched her suddenly say, "If you really want to marry the boy from the next village, it's not impossible."
Han Xiaodong raised his head abruptly, and there was surprise in his tear-filled eyes.
Han Ze waved his hand, "Listen to me, and make a decision later."
Han Xiaodong wiped his eyes, Han Ze raised his eyebrows and said: "If you want to marry the boy from the next village, then you can't give you the dowry that you promised earlier, so are you still willing to marry that boy?"
What he didn't say was, without a generous dowry, would that kid still agree to marry you?
Han Xiaodong was startled, and murmured: "Didn't you agree?"
He promised to buy a dowry for their sisters, and the older sister has them all, so why not give them to her?
Han Ze smiled: "When I bought the dowry for Xiaochun, I also said that I would buy the same dowry for you. But I also said that I thought it was worth buying the dowry for you, brother-in-law of the Yao family. He is a scholar, so he can be promoted to Shubo, not to mention he is now a Juren."
In the past two years, Wang Lanhua asked the matchmaker to see many families for Han Xiaodong, but she refused to do them all. Unexpectedly, in private, she secretly had an affair with a boy from the next village.
The little girl has reached the age and has a heart of longing, Han Ze doesn't think there is anything. But the stepmother said that within a few months, Han Xiaodong's jewelry was taken as clean by her. It was all calculated by that boy.
Even if Han Ze had never met the boy, he could still imagine what kind of person he was. The scholars in ancient times were noble, if they were really good, how could they count on the little girl's money?
Han Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Qian Hong is a boy student, he will be a scholar, as long as he is a scholar, he can also be promoted to Shubo!"
Han Ze said bluntly: "But I don't believe in his character. I think he married you for your dowry."
Han Xiaodong looked at him angrily, and said, "Impossible, he said it, he..."
Before she finished speaking, Wang Lanhua slapped her on the face, Han Xiaodong covered her face, looked at her mother in disbelief, tears streaming down, "Mother, did you hit me?"
Wang Lanhua took a few deep breaths, and her body trembled with anger: "You can marry if you want. As for the dowry, there is not a penny."
Han Ze said beside him: "If you don't have a dowry, then Qian Hong is still willing to marry you, and I will recognize him as my brother-in-law."
Han Xiaodong looked at him bitterly: "Do you think everyone is as vulgar as you and only has money in their eyes?"
Wang Lanhua wanted to slap her again, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Han Ze said, "Yes, I only have silver in my eyes. If that's the case, then you can do whatever you want. After all, it's your brother who bought you gold and silver. Jewelry, it is your dowry, think about it in the future, even if you are still hungry, you will not come back to find your natal family, after all, you are full of love and water."
Han Xiaodong's face turned green and pale, and he felt a little regretful. She should not have said that just now, and she remembered how her elder brother treated her, but, why didn't he like Qian Hong?
Han Ze looked at Han Maode, and he chuckled softly: "Father, tomorrow you will tell the villagers that our Xiaodong doesn't value money, so you won't prepare a dowry for her. Then Qian Hong wanted to know Xiaodong's thoughts, and he also It's time to propose marriage."
Han Xiaodong's face turned pale again, she stood in the yard blankly, feeling a little uncertain in her heart, would Qian Hong really come to propose marriage?
However, ever since Han Ze said that he would not buy Han Xiaodong a dowry, and he didn't pack any clothes for her, Han Xiaodong was sent to her other two sons by her mother. Don't you think money is tacky? Don't you think her elder brother only has money in his eyes?
Okay, since you think money is vulgar, then go live without money.
After reading some books, I feel that I am amazing, relying on Han Ze to eat and drink, but I raised her innocently, with only love in my eyes, so let her suffer and see if she will feel Silver is tacky.
Han Xiaodong couldn't believe it, her parents and elder brother really said that they would leave her alone? Seeing the stubborn faces of her parents, she was also annoyed, so she just left. She waited for Qian Hong to come to propose marriage and let them think it was right.
However, the days passed day by day, and seeing that Han Xiaodong was about to celebrate his eighteenth birthday, Qian Hong didn't invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. And she also ate thick noodle steamed buns with her other two brothers for nearly a month. She hadn't eaten a piece of meat this month. She was so greedy that she smelled any stir-fry, and she drool. She never knew that she was so Hungry.
She couldn't bear it any longer, and went to find Qian Hong herself. She didn't know what Qian Hong had said to her. She went back home with red eyes, and was bored in the room for a long time. After she came out, she went to Han Ze, looked at her brother, she Self-deprecating: "Brother, you are right. Drinking water is just a story in a storybook. If you really live, how can you live without money?"
Han Ze looked at her: "Are you looking for Qian Hong?"
Han Xiaodong looked calm: "He is engaged today to the daughter of a butcher in the town. It is said that the butcher bought him a shop in the town."
Han Ze snorted, ignored her, and continued weeding the flowers.
Han Xiaodong froze for a moment, that's it?
Wang Lanhua came out from nowhere, and when she saw her, she said with a sullen face, "What are you doing here?"
Han Xiaodong looked at her mother, feeling aggrieved: "Mother, Qian Hong is engaged."
Wang Lanhua said indifferently, "What does his engagement have to do with me?"
Han Xiaodong: "..."
Wang Lanhua waved her hand: "You are fine, go back to your two elder brothers, so as not to stick to our family's vulgarity."
Han Xiaodong's face turned red, she was ashamed, grabbed her mother's arm, knelt on the ground suddenly, and begged: "Mother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me."
Ever since Wang Lanhua saw the girl's stubbornness, she was shocked by the little girl's temperament. She never knew that the girl she raised would be so innocent and selfish. She said, "You're wrong? What's wrong with you? We were wrong. You were never wrong."
Han Xiaodong was sobbing: "Mother, you don't intend to forgive me?"
"Go back to your two brothers."
Wang Lanhua pulled her arm away, and entered the room ruthlessly, silly girl, you offended Han Ze, what's the use of asking me to forgive you? Han Ze is the head of this family, you have to ask Han Ze to forgive you before I can let you come back, Han Ze is still angry, so I let you come back? What does Han Ze think, why can't a silly girl be considerate of my stepmother?
Sister Han Shuxin was helping her father weed the flowers, looking at her sister-in-law's back, she hesitated.
Seeing their expressions, Han Ze said blankly, "You think dad is ruthless?"
Han Shuxin shook her head, thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law should regret it."
As for whether Han Xiaodong regretted it, Han Ze didn't express his opinion. Instead, he asked, "What do you think about the matter between your sister-in-law and that Qian Hong, and what do you think about your marriage?"
Han Shuxin was also talking about the age of her husband's family. When she heard her father's question, she blushed suddenly, but she still whispered: "The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that we are young, have little experience, and don't know people... ...I, I trust Daddy."
Han Ze smiled in satisfaction, and said sternly, "If you dare to act like your sister-in-law, I will break your legs."
The sisters shook their heads quickly.
The second girl, Han Shuqing, thinks that my sister-in-law is not stupid, but stupid. She used her jewelry to supplement an outsider. If you can entrust your wealth to everything, what is it if you are not stupid?
Han Ze said again: "Your elder sister's words are right. You are still young, how many people have you met? Although our family is not a rich and powerful family, we are considered to have a small family in this area. Back then, I prepared everything for your elder aunt." There are so many dowries, not to mention that you are my daughters, in order to prevent those who have ulterior motives, I will investigate your marriages one by one in the future, and then I will make a marriage for you."
Han Shuxin's sisters all blushed, bowed their heads, and remained silent.
Han Ze smiled, seeing that Han Shubo was going to the county town to take the college exam, he didn't put so much thought on a disobedient younger sister who only had eyes for love, but through Han Xiaodong's incident, he also understood He was a little relieved about the dispositions of the girls. These children are not like their sister-in-law, they can't tell the difference between good and bad.
However, the two younger sisters can be pulled out as soon as they can, and they really can't be disciplined. He feels that with Yuan's temperament, he won't care too much.
Besides, with him around, even if Han Xiaodong couldn't support the wall with mud, his life wouldn't be too bad, but he was about the same as most girls in the village.
Han Ze grows flowers at home every day, teaches his children to read, and rarely goes to the village. This day, when Han Maode came back from the outside, his face was full of excitement. Han Ze looked at him in surprise, "Why are you so happy?"
Han Maode clicked his tongue twice, and glanced at Han Ze: "It's good to have less sons. I'm just your son. All the property in our family is yours. At least the family is harmonious."
Han Ze shook his head amusedly, picked up his teacup and took two sips.
Seeing that he didn't pick up the quarrel, Han Maode couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and continued: "Han Xingwang has many sons, and now he's all right, the three sons are fighting for Han Xingwang's private money..."
When he said this, his eyes were full of pride, and Han Ze gave him a funny look.
Han Maode also took a drink from his cup, and then continued: "When they fight, Han Xingwang Liu Juhua will have to fight, this fight is broken."
Han Ze continued: "They were accidentally hit by his son?"
Han Maode clapped his hands violently: "That's right, Han Xingwang was not strong when he was young, he was gentle, how can he have strength when he is old? His sons are all strong and hardworking, and the family is ruthless. Fighting is also ruthless, one side fights and the other is not convinced and still fights, but don't implicate the old couple, Liu Juhua rubbed to the waist, Han Xingwang's leg is broken, it's right, let him have so many sons!"
Han Ze smiled, "Father, it has nothing to do with the son. You also said that the family is ruthless."
Families with many sons in the world don't know how many, and I haven't seen every family's sons fighting over family property. After all, it's just a matter of heart and nature.
He had expected this matter a long time ago. The three sons, Han Xingwang, Liu Juhua, and Liu Juhua couldn't have a bowl of water. The three sons were all honest and honest.
What's more, as far as he knew, Han Chengming's money should have been used up. Given the temperament of their family, one of Han Jixue and Han Jiwen would not be able to continue studying. As for Han Jixue, who failed the Tongsheng exam this time, there was no need to guess who Han Chengming would choose to continue his studies.
But Han Jixue is not a good stubble, arrogant, selfish and vicious, he will not be willing to go home to farm, he will definitely find a way to get Han Xingwang to study for him, so it is not yet known who caused the fight between the three brothers Han Chengming Woolen cloth.
This time, Han Ze and his son went to the prefectural lake city together with other candidates in the school. For this college exam, the teachers in the school did not go with them. Because of the old students from previous years, there were actually eight students who took the exam together.
After everyone introduced each other, Han Ze discovered that Qian Hong, who was involved with Han Xiaodong and later married the butcher's daughter, was actually among them. Just now he wondered, he is not such a good person, why this person dodges when he sees him, it turns out that this is the reason.
Originally, I only heard about this guy from Wang Lanhua, saying that this kid was plotting against Han Xiaodong, but I didn't expect this kid to be so worthless.
He glanced at Qian Hong, and said to himself, don't say that you have already married someone else, you can no longer have anything to do with my family, even if you haven't married yet, I won't do anything to you, you really don't have to scare me so hard.
Seeing Han Ze looking at him, Qian Hong was even more startled. The reason why he made up his mind to marry the butcher's daughter so quickly was because of Han Ze's reputation. It is said that this person is very domineering and will copy people if he disagrees with her. How dare he marry his sister with a plan? What's more, he really counted Han Xiaodong a lot of money, seeing Han Ze now, he felt guilty.
Han Ze glanced at him again, just this virtue? I don't know what Xiaodong likes him.
Qian Hong met Han Ze's eyes, his legs trembled, and he was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still.
Han Ze felt that there might be something wrong with this person, so he stopped looking at him.
Trembling, Qian Hong took out the bank notes in his pocket, counted them, took out one, and secretly handed it to Han Ze.
Han Ze looked at him strangely: "What are you doing?"
Qian Hong hurriedly said in a low voice: "I owe your family."
Han Ze glanced at the number above, thirty taels of silver? He raised his eyebrows, this kid actually got thirty taels of silver from Xiaodong, presumably it was Xiaodong's silver from selling jewelry. He thought that this kid was engaged, and he should have returned the money to Xiaodong long ago, but he didn't expect that Han Xiaodong really didn't care about the money.
Han Ze took the silver and thought, since he doesn't care about the silver, then he doesn't need to give her the thirty taels of silver.
Qian Hong heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Han Ze didn't seek revenge from him, the thirty taels of silver would be worth it. Anyway, this money was cheated from Han Xiaodong.
