Chapter 136: Bubbling with Acid
Tang Yueling was severely humiliated. She had just wanted to go out, but because of Tang Yaozu's various derogatory words, she had to stay in the thatched hut all day long. Except for cooking for the whole family with Wu, she never went out of the house.
Tang Yaozu looked at her and became more and more angry. The more he looked at her, the more useless she seemed to him. Why should that loser Tang Qingshu have such a capable sister while he still has to worry about a bite of meat?
"What are you talking about? Tang Qingshu went to the academy in town to study?" Sun stared at the villagers who were gossiping with a look of disbelief. Her voice was so loud that it scared them.
The woman nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it seems that he went to the academy around the 18th day of the first lunar month. This is not a secret in our village."
The two of them were just discussing that Tang Qingshu was a handsome man, and my family had money and lived in a big courtyard. If he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar in the future, it would be glorious! Who knew that Sun heard it?
Sun staggered in disbelief. She was just thinking about how to get some money from Tang Lao San, and she didn't care whether Tang Qingshu was educated or not.
Now, when she suddenly heard that Tang Qingshu was going to the academy in the town to study, she didn't even bother to wash clothes and ran home carrying the bucket.
"Something big has happened! Something big has happened, mother!" After returning to the thatched hut, Sun threw the wooden barrel to the ground with a bang, not caring about the clothes inside that fell out, and rushed to Old Lady Tang.
Old Lady Tang was just thinking about how long it would take her to save up enough money to buy a house, when she was frightened by Sun's yelling. She stood up and slapped her, "What are you doing! What are you doing! What are you yelling about? I'm not dead yet!"
Sun endured the pain and said, "Mother, calm down and listen to me."
"I just went to the river to wash clothes, and heard from the villagers that the third branch actually sent Tang Qingshu to the academy in town. How much silver did that cost?"
"What!" Tang Yaozu, who was lying on the bed and dreaming of flying into the sky, jumped up from the weed bed with a look of disbelief when he heard this.
That loser Tang Qingshu actually went to the town to study?
Old Mrs. Tang also had a look of disbelief on her face, "Are you serious?" Does the Third House have so much silver to build a house for Qingshu boy?
In the past, Tang Yaozu was the only one in the family who went to school. It was because Old Man Tang specifically requested that Tang Qingshu go when he was alive. Old Lady Tang couldn't resist and didn't stop him, but she didn't give him a penny. Tang Qingshu went there entirely with the money saved by Lin and Tang Lao San.
But now, those two people actually sent Tang Qingshu to the academy in the town? How much money would that cost?
If the people of the old Tang family had a vague idea about the financial situation of the third Tang family before, now they all believe that the third Tang family must have made a fortune and have at least a hundred taels of silver in their hands.
"Damn it! You have so much money but instead of giving it to me to spend, you just give it to people to build!" Old Mrs. Tang cursed harshly, but she still felt unsatisfied.
Sun shrank her neck and said, "Mom, what do you think we should do now? It's time to send Yaozu to school."
It's impossible for the boy from the third room to study while her Yaozu is digging for food in the fields. That's absolutely not possible!
Tang Lao Da sighed heavily, "Where is the money left in the family to send my son to school?"
My son studied for so many years and took part in the provincial examinations twice, but got nothing.
"Dad! I want to study! Why can that loser Tang Qingshu study but I can't!" Tang Yaozu's eyes turned red with jealousy. Whenever he thought of Tang Qingshu being taught by the teacher in the school with other students, his heart was filled with sourness and he felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Big Brother Tang ignored him, Tang Yaozu went to Old Lady Tang and said, "Grandma, you must send me to school. I want to go to the same school as Tang Qingshu!" At this time, he had no idea that Tang Qingshu was not going to a school, but the largest, best and most reputable academy in Linjiang Town. He just thought that it was a school that was found by Old Third Tang and the others.
Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to push Tang Jiabao out. "Mother, please let Jiabao study too."
When the eldest wife was about to lose her temper, Wu said quickly, "Jiabao used to go to school with Yaozu, and they will continue to go together from now on. The two of them can take care of each other."
"If there are more people in the family who can read and study, it will be easier for them to find jobs in the future and earn more money."
Sun was about to curse, but swallowed it back quickly after hearing this.
Old Mrs. Tang narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't have the money to support your studies."
They all just want to steal the money from her, no way!
This time, Old Lady Tang even excluded Tang Yaozu, whom she loved the most, and said she was unwilling to spend money to send them to school.
Tang Yaozu was so angry that he didn't eat for the whole day and just lay in bed groaning.
Who knew that Old Lady Tang seemed to be determined and pretended not to hear anything and continued doing what she was doing.
...
"This is spicy boiled beef, this is stir-fried beef with green peppers, this is beef with scrambled eggs, and this is stir-fried beef with bamboo shoots."
Tang Qiyue used five kilograms of beef to make five beef dishes, each of which was large enough to fill a large plate.
"Eat! I must eat!" Zhao Bao had been wandering around the kitchen door with his short legs. He had smelled the fragrance a long time ago. As soon as the dish was served, he pointed at the beef and shouted loudly that he wanted to eat it, which made the group of people laugh.
The aroma of beef was so strong that a few children appeared outside the yard, sucking their fingers and drooling.
"Everyone, try it. Don't just stand there. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Tang Qiyue distributed chopsticks to them, then added a bowl of white rice to each of them and started eating first.
Tang Qiyue finally got to eat the beef she cooked herself again, and it was so delicious that she wanted to cry.
"Is this really beef?" Boss Hu looked incredulous. He had once gone to a restaurant and happened to come across beef there. He had eaten it once and found the meat to be hard and smelly, not tasty.
But what he saw in front of him made him want to swallow the plate along with it!
Lin smiled and said, "It's beef. I brought it back from the town this July. It's very fresh."
"Delicious, delicious! Lin San didn't even bother to eat the rice, and stuffed the beef into his mouth. This one is delicious, that one is delicious, they are all delicious!
Seeing that his mother ignored him, Zhao Bao anxiously grabbed Tang Qiyue's chest with his bare hands, "Mom! Bao wants to eat, I want to eat meat!"
When she had nothing to do, Tang Qiyue would hold Zhaobao and feed the pigs that were no longer piglets. She would usually teach Zhaobao to shout, "Pigs, eat your fill and grow some meat."
Zhaobao has a strong learning ability, so it's not uncommon for him to blurt out a word or two from time to time.
Seeing that he was drooling in a hurry, Tang Qiyue quickly wiped his drool with a spittoon, scooped a spoonful of egg from the scrambled beef into his own small bowl, and fed him small bites at a time.
After eating the egg that tasted different from the previous ones, Zhaobao’s big round eyes suddenly lit up and he kept shouting “Ahhhhhhh” in excitement.
Tang Qiuyue also added flavorful food to Zhaobao from time to time, but would not feed him too much at one time.
In general, everyone felt a little full after eating this beef banquet.
