Chapter 303 Yang Erya’s choice

Ms. Li breathed a sigh of relief, her anxious heart was relieved, and she immediately went out obediently.

Zhou caught up and asked in a low voice: "Aniang, didn't you say before that you would let Erya get married to the Xu family and marry Erya to the Xu family if things didn't work out? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

 Li gave a wry smile and shook her head with a self-deprecating sigh, "I used to be self-righteous, but going out today is an eye-opener. How capable we are of carrying such a big bowl, Erya is not worthy of Xu Xiucai."

She has been living in Rongshu Village and thinks that the Xu family now is no different from the Xu family in the past. Although Xu Nuoshan is a scholar, Xu Nuoshan has to study a lot for a year, has to pay a lot of money to take the exam, and has a poor family. No matter how capable you are, you can't always help your parents' family.

It is said that a scholar can be worshiped by three generations. Most of the scholars will be just scholars until they die, but they are not diligent in their work. It is really not worth spending a woman's whole life just for the reputation of a good scholar. Generally, people who love their daughters are not. I am more than willing to marry my daughter to such a family and endure hardship.

Yang Erya is diligent and hard-working, and earns a lot. In Li's view, there is no need for her to suffer this crime. Just because of such concerns, Li has not said this for a long time, and only regards the Xu family as the last resort. alternative.

But seeing Mrs. Zhou's shop doing booming business today, and hearing Mrs. Zhou's plans for her son's marriage, Mrs. Li knew that Yang Erya was out of luck, and her previous worries were just like a joke.

Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had always felt that her mother-in-law's idea was very naive and she took it for granted, but she couldn't say it. After all, there was no mistress in charge of the second house. After all, her aunt was a little worse. She said too much about her mother-in-law. I'm afraid my mother thought she was too lenient and didn't want to see her niece well. Now it's best for Mrs. Li to think for herself.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Hairpin came out from the corner silently, put down the tea, and told Xu Nuoyan what he overheard.

Xu Nuoyan glanced at her lightly and said slowly: "Hairpin, I kept you by my side because of your cleverness. Don't be fooled by your cleverness. I don't like these little tricks of yours."

Hairpin Zi was frightened to death and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake, "Second Young Madam, I don't dare. It's not that I eavesdropped on purpose, but I happened to be there carrying tea and it was really hard to show up, so I listened to a few words."

Xu Nuoyan waved his hand and let her go down.

Yang Erya didn't understand that she just went to make porridge, but when she came back she felt that everyone was not quite right, especially Xu Nuoyan, who always looked at her with a somewhat inquiring look.

She touched her face strangely and said, "Second cousin-in-law, is there ashes on my face?"

Xu Nuoyan shook his head, looked away, and asked as if unintentionally: "Erya, tell me, what kind of person do you want to marry in the future?"

Yang Erya's face turned red instantly, her eyes wandered, and she didn't dare to look at Xu Nuoyan, "Second cousin sister-in-law, why did you ask about this?"

"Since you call me Second Cousin-in-law, what's wrong with me paying more attention to you?" Xu Nuoyan said it as a matter of course.

Yang Erya's face gradually returned to normal, and it took a while before she mustered up the courage to say, "Second cousin sister-in-law, can I not get married so early?"

“Hmm?” This answer was somewhat unexpected from Xu Nuoyan, “What do you think?”

Yang Erya looked at the door longingly and murmured, "Although my sister and I had a mother before, we were born with a mother and not a mother. If nothing happened to my mother, I would have become a mother now." He looked like that and spent his whole life in a state of confusion.

Fate gave me the opportunity to make a new choice. I saw the abilities of my eldest uncle and my second cousin’s sister-in-law. You are both women, but you can live a prosperous life without depending on a man. Even my eldest sister is the same. If she hadn't been the eldest sister, she would have had more and better choices for my father and our future. I am luckier than my sister. I have the opportunity to choose, so I don't want to just do it. I want to get married hastily. I also want to earn money to support myself and help my sister share the burden. Is that okay? "

These words touched Xu Nuoyan so much that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. Through Yang Erya, she seemed to see herself in the past. Everything seemed to be just yesterday, and it seemed that it was so far away from her that no one else could see it. Mention it, she couldn't even remember it.

Yang Erya waved her hand in front of Xu Nuoyan, a little cautiously, "Second cousin sister-in-law, can't you?"

Xu Nuoyan came back to her senses and looked at Yang Erya with a more complicated and gratified look, "Of course, as long as you want to, there's nothing wrong with it, but you still need to ask grandma and grandma about this matter, so I don't think so." I can’t be your master, but you can stay here with peace of mind. If you want to make money, study hard and work hard. Don’t worry about getting married. "

“Thank you, Second Sister-in-law!” Xu Nuoyan smiled brightly and continued to do her work carefully with her head down.

Xu Nuoyan turned around and told Mr. Li tactfully what Yang Erya meant.

Li, however, secretly wiped away her tears, scolded Yang Laoer, and stopped mentioning her granddaughter's marriage.

In the house.

Yang Erya counted some money he had saved during this period and called Yang Fugui, "Brother, would you like my second sister to help you study, just like Lai Gui? I know you didn't go before because our family had no money, and you didn't want to It will increase the burden on me, but I have saved a lot of money now, that’s enough, you don’t have to worry.”

Yang Fugui still shook his head and decisively rejected Yang Erya's kindness.

"Why is this?" Yang Erya was really puzzled and sad. She did so much just to hope that her family would get better and better. If everyone had money, they would send their brothers and children to school. Is it wrong for her to do this?

Yang Fugui lowered his eyelids to cover the gloom in his eyes, "Second sister, your idea is very good, and I don't want you to be disappointed, but our biological mother Qian sold herself into slavery. Even though my father has severed ties with her, the blood relationship cannot be broken. , I can’t become an official even if I study, why bother spending all that wasted money?

It's pretty good for me now. I can work with my second cousin here, and I can go to work in the workshop when I go back to the village, or I can go build houses for others with my uncles in the village in the future. There's nothing wrong with that. "

Yang Erya hugged Yang Fugui and cried loudly.

The incident reached Xu Nuoyan's ears. Xu Nuoyan sighed and asked Yang Erdan to deliver a letter to the capital.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the government examination arrived.

Since there are three consecutive exams, the first two exams take one day each, and the last exam takes two days, which is equivalent to the candidates having to stay in Gongyuan for four days.

Although the weather in April has warmed up, the nights will still be cold. Mrs. Li has been extremely worried since she learned about the situation in the imperial exam, so she asked her family's driver to take her here before dawn.

When the time came, the outside of Gongyuan was crowded with many candidates and their accompanying family members.

 Li looked around in panic, unable to see anything clearly with her old eyes, and kept asking Yang Erdan, "Have you found it? Have you found it?"
