"Mother!" Yu Cheng exclaid he did not expect that his mother who gave him whatever he wanted would refuse. He walked forward and pressed his hands on the table behind which Yu Linyun was working.
He said, "Mother, if I wait for a month soone else will win over that woman whom I am pursuing. How can we miss soone so rich and powerful, if I marry her I will beco an official."
"But I have no money," stated Yu Linyun without even looking up from the docunt that she was reading. She wasn't wrong entirely, renting a decent courtyard with well would cost her at least a tael at the mont.
Buying a r would also cost her twenty to fifty taels, after taking out so much money she also had to take care of the household affairs of the old Yu family house.
There was also Yu Cheng who asked for money every other week. Everything cost money and even if her salary was twenty taels now, she would not waste it willy nilly.
"Mother——"
"Enough! Yu Cheng, if you are old enough to marry then you are old enough to work hard and earn a little money. Scholars who have the sa family condition as you will copy texts or they will tutor little girls by visiting their houses."
"Don't act like a six-year-old child who has no choice but to cry for his mother for everything, you are not a little boy, so don't act like one."
The more Yu Linyun spoke the angrier she beca. She could not help but say, "Look at your sister, she is only three years older than you but she is working in the docks and the mall in town."
"She knows that if she wants to marry a r she needs her own house and savings. Even though she has Yu Dong she doesn't rely on Yu Dong for every little thing."
"Don't even get
started on Yu Dong, that girl was thrown out of the house with not a single tael in her pocket and yet she is now earning so much money! I am not asking you to be like your cousin or sister but at least be self-reliant!"
Yu Linyun couldn't help but bla Qiu Bai, it was him who doted on Yu Cheng so much and turned him into a useless bum.
He was a scholar and he could easily earn money but he was still relying on her like a child. It was simply too much!
Even if he couldn't save enough for his dowry, he could at least earn enough for his own expenses. She let this boy learn because she believed that Yu Cheng would help her with the finances of the house, who would have thought he would turn into a squirmy young master?
"Mother, there is no need for you to be so harsh right?" Yu Cheng's face turned red with sha and anger, she scolded him like this everyone in the mill must have heard it right?
How could Yu Cheng suffer this humiliation?!
Yu Linyun sneered and said to Yu Cheng, "If I am not harsh on you, I am afraid that I will raise a waste."
"Cheng Cheng, you either learn how to earn money or you can go ahead and give up on your studies. I, your mother only have two hands and feet, I can only earn this much."
"You can either take my money to pay for your education or you can chase won, choose for yourself!"
After she finished speaking, Yu Linyun did not pay attention to her son anymore.
Yu Cheng who was scolded left and right was really upset when he thought about how his mother compared him to Yu Dong and Yu Tong.
When the two of them were good for nothing, he was the one who was praised by his family and the entire village but now that the two sisters of his hand turned for better, forget about the villagers——-
Even his mother was praising them!
Yu Cheng's face turned gloomy, he couldn't stomach the fact that he could not get the money but the thing that he couldn't stomach even more was that his mother was praising Yu Dong and Yu Tong!
With his heart surging with anger, Yu Cheng returned to the dormitory. Because his expression was not right, no one said anything to him. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Instead, they started discussing a matter which ca to light a few days ago.
"You an to say that the sister of Shopekeeper Ke was having an affair with all of her brothers-in-law?" One of the n who was sitting in the corner said to Little Fatty who nodded his head heavily.
"If not, the news is spread all over the town," said Little Fatty with a gossipy expression. "Shopkeeper Ke earns good money but her sister, Ke Dilai is useless and cannot earn."
"Even when Old Madam Ke helped her sister in opening many shops, Ke Dilai couldn't do business and went bankrupt in a few days, she did not want to go to the countryside, so you know what she did?"
"She caught hold of her brother-in-law and did that with him when he was drunk. That poor r trusted Ke Dilai and did not think that he would be taken advantage of like that."
"The r was worried that his wife would bla him, so he dared not to say the truth to his wife," continued Little Fatty as he munched on fried peanuts, "Ke Dilai knew that the r wouldn't tell her sister anything, so she started blackmailing him and continued to ask him for money, once she succeeded, she did the sa with the other two brothers in law as well."
