The countryside bumpkins usually eat less meat, although the Tao family eats less meat every three days, but there were so many people in the family, two pounds of meat was enough to eat, but even if there wasn't much meat, it was still good to have some taste, so they still liked this kind of day where they don't get scolded. Of course, they also liked this kind of day where they don't want to be scolded.

In the past, if there was anything lacking, they would just go to the main house and get it. Therefore, Hundred Spirit House did not think that their house had already been separated. It was just that they were afraid that Tao Bailing would be angry, so they secretly went to the main house.

"What did you say?" The face she had fought for with great difficulty had completely disappeared. Thinking of this, she didn't know what to say. She hated her mother to death, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, it was all for the sake of these children.

"Mother said that sister is sick, so I need to eat more meat to recuperate." However, little brother Tao Bailing felt that it would be better if he didn't eat them, and could smell them. But big sister could make money now, and big sister was sick, so it was only because she needed more nourishment that her body would be better.

"That's enough, that's enough. Go and call mother back. Even if there's meat at home, I've already made it." She was an orphan in her previous life, even if she had the mother of the dean. But the mother had her own children, and there were so many children in the orphanage, even if they loved her, they couldn't be divided. Furthermore, she wasn't very outstanding before, and it was precisely because of this that she was always lacking in love, so many people wanted to love her.

"Alright." The younger brother's eyes lit up when he heard this. They naturally didn't go to someone else's house to eat things that were in their own house, even if they were used to taking their uncle's things, that was the feeling of their home, but that was just the feeling of having backbone, so they didn't want to go back to the old days when they knew they could stand on their own two feet.

So she went to the river to catch some fish, which she really caught quite a bit, and then brought them back to the town to buy them. Unexpectedly, the people here were very good at cooking fish, and the price of the fish was not bad either, so she got fifty or so pieces of money. Originally, she wanted to see if she could buy some chickens or something, but now that she thought about it, if she wanted to make a fortune, she didn't have a good body, so she figured it out.

Of course, when brother Tao Bailing went to call her mother, her mother was already at the Tao family's residence. Smelling the fragrance of the Tao family's meat, both of them started to salivate, but they only stood there for a while before leaving. Because they knew that someone was waiting for them at home and their family could eat meat, they naturally wouldn't do such a shameful thing.

Father Lu and Mother Lu didn't like the little widow, so they felt that she wasn't very decent. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed a man and lived in someone else's house, so their son would call someone else 'father'. But so what? They lived in the same house, and their son always spoke on behalf of the widow.

If their son wasn't already engaged to be married, then they would have to get married sooner. But when that shameless widow dared to stay in their home, they naturally couldn't sit still and came to Tao Er's house, just in time to see the regret on the faces of the Tao family. This made their hearts skip a beat, and they thought that this person wouldn't regret marrying their daughter to their son, right?

"Dear, what's going on?" Now that the son of the Lu family was back, although the two of them couldn't do heavy work these few years, but since they had land for rent and also raised some chickens and pigs, it could be considered as having recovered. In addition, Lu Dashan had brought more than 200 taels of silver with him.

"It's fine, it's fine. Sit." After having been asked by her daughter to take a bath, her clothes were clean. Furthermore, having eaten meat today, she felt that her life had been wonderful, so her waist was even straighter than usual.

The Tao clan and the Lu clan were discussing marriage. Although Tao Bailing said that he had already decided to marry into the Lu clan, this body was only thirteen years old, so why did he mention it now? He couldn't help but frown.

"That won't do, my spirit soul is only thirteen, it's not even that old yet." Fortunately, Tao Er and Hundred Spirit Niang knew what could be agreed upon and what could not be agreed upon, so when they heard the Lu family mention this matter, they directly shook their heads. Although they didn't care about anything, they still knew about this kind of thing.

"Look, our Mountain is already so old." She didn't know what she would do if anything really happened between her son and the widow, so whatever she said, she wanted to marry Tao Bailing back to her family, even if she had to give him some betrothal gifts, it was fine. After her son returned, other than the original twenty acres of land, they had bought ten acres of good land, the family was really quite good, and her son was currently a government official, so he had two taels of silver a month, plus some income from the outside, their family wouldn't be able to live a better life. If their son wasn't old enough, and there was a widow at home, so they wouldn't have no other choice.

Alright, there was one more thing, and that was that they had an engagement with the Tao family. Although there was an agreement to stay for the next generation, when the Lu family's parents saw that their son was actually interested in a widow, they naturally didn't want to, so they brought up Tao Yu Su's matter.

Originally, they were all prepared to take a higher betrothal gift, not to marry a girl, but they didn't expect that the good silly girl of the Tao family would be willing to marry into their family. Although they didn't think much of the silly girl before, but the girl of the Tao family was very famous, and their son couldn't object to anything.

In addition, the ladies of the Tao family had not done anything. Although they would not be raised like everyone else, at least they would be better off than the village girls. They wouldn't have to worry about their son looking down on them.

"No, my daughter is not too old yet." In the end, the members of the Lu family could only leave. However, they felt that it didn't matter if they couldn't get married, as they could have more contact between them and at least stop their son from thinking about the widow.

That was why she was in such a hurry to marry her into their family. It seemed that she had to think of a way to settle this matter, but after seeing her parents' appearance, she knew that even though these stupid and sweet parents cared about her a lot, they did not understand many things. Thus, there were many things that could only be solved by her.

"Dad, our family has twenty silver. Take a portion out to buy an acre of land and let us study." If it wasn't for the fact that she only had a son in the big house and didn't send him to school, she would have already started a ruckus. Fortunately, her little brother was still young, only five years old, and they had to start studying here at the age of seven, but she was not satisfied with this result.

"Alright." Every child in the Tao family would be sent to study when they reach the age of seven, and if not for the fact that the family would be separated by themselves, in another two years' time, their son would also be sent to the private sector. Regarding the matter that his daughter wanted to send to him earlier, Tao Er didn't feel that it was wrong, he felt that two years of studying would be good, maybe he would even be considered someone who could read books, and when the time came for the Elementary Scholars to come out, their family would not have to pay taxes.

"Isn't it too early?" It wasn't that she didn't agree, but that she lived in a private house as soon as she went to school. She was very fond of her children, so she naturally felt reluctant to part with them.

"It's not small anymore. In the future, the older you become, the fewer chances you will get to become an Elementary Scholar. You might as well hurry up and take it. This way, you will have more chances of success." After all, this was ancient times, so no matter how much she looked down on these ancient people, she would still follow the ancient rules. If her little brother had a name, then even if she wanted to do something, she would have someone to rely on.

She really did think too much, wanting to climb up to a higher level was not an easy thing to do. Other people also have higher positions than you, but they have accumulated generations of people, otherwise how could there be an aristocratic family that was getting better and better.

The reason why they were talking about this matter was because of the several subjects taught in the court. If you were to talk about writing articles like Tao Yushu's brother, he might not be able to do it, but in terms of talent in the field of numbers, if it weren't for this subject, he wouldn't have been able to go back home and plant his land. But now it was different, now that the Tao family had done it, so Uncle Tao came back to ask if he wanted to study again and prepare to take the exam this year.

"Yes, why not?" Tao Yu Su recalled that the original owner was sad at the time, so she didn't know about this. However, her uncle had also come back. At that time, Big Brother Tao's mood rose up for a while and then improved again.
