Chapter 108 Her attitude is the key
Mu sighed and said, "In order to go to the capital to find their father, our whole family regarded Zongbai's imperial examination as the top priority."

"Because of this incident, our family has been threatened and manipulated by the people in the old house at every turn, and the valuables in our home cannot be saved."

"If you don't give it, they will threaten to go out and ruin Zong Bai's reputation."

Zong Bai said with jealousy, "Mom, I already said that I gave up taking the imperial examination, and I will never let you and my elder brother be wronged because of this again."

"In the future, you don't have to swallow your anger towards grandma and uncle. If you ask me, you have to learn from my uncle and scold them back when you are angry."

Mrs. Mu was amused by her son, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"Mom can't say that."

Fang Jinxiu couldn't stand listening anymore, "No, why should we be so honest?"

"I don't mean for Zong Bai to really give up the imperial examination."

Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly turned his head to look at her.

"What does this mean?"

Seeing that the three of them were looking at her with burning eyes, she explained helplessly, "Of course, by saying that Zong Bai will not take part in the imperial examination, he is deceiving the old man."

"Our family lives halfway up the mountain, and we rarely interact with people in the village. Even if Zong Bai goes out to school, no one may know."

"Just don't tell them. Once Zong Bai reaches high school, they won't dare to spread rumors about him even if they know."

"If you spread rumors at that time, it will be slander and insulting the imperial officials, and you will be prosecuted."

She rubbed her chin and thought for a while before saying, "But at that time, I'm afraid the Zong family won't spread rumors anymore. Don't they always want to be proud of their ancestors?"

"Zong Bai still carries the surname Zong anyway. They couldn't even rush to establish a relationship, and they would say unfavorable things to him."

Those people in the old house were short-sighted, and they probably never thought that Zong Bai could study in high school. After all, the second room was so poor, and the money spent on studying was not as simple as one or two taels.If you want to raise a child to be able to take the scientific examination, you will have to spend at least a hundred taels of silver.

When you go to the capital to take a scientific examination, you have to pay a large sum of money for travel and accommodation.

How can a farmer's family have such financial resources to provide for a scholar? The Zong family was able to provide Zong Pingchuan only through frugality and hard work of the dozen or so members of the family.

Thinking of this, Fang Jinxiu suddenly understood that Mu actually felt that Zong Bai had no hope of participating in the scientific examination, so she had no hope of surviving because of her body, which was broken and she did not want to be cured.

"So Zong Bai can take the imperial examination. You don't have to worry about money. Your elder brother and I will find a way."

Her words made the three members of the Zong family dumbfounded. Mu's eyes instantly turned red, and she looked a little excited.

"Jinxiu, do you really think so?"

"You, don't you feel that you are at a disadvantage?"

The Zong family did the same thing at the beginning, but people's hearts can't be so selfless. The eldest and third family members of the Zong family have been secretly dissatisfied all those years that their husbands spent the family's money on studying and practicing calligraphy without having to do any work.

Originally the conflicts between the three brothers were not deep, but they could not withstand the years of hard work.

The scientific examination is not as simple as drinking water. Some people can even take the examination from a teenager with black hair to a head full of silver threads, and they may not be in high school.

She didn't want her two sons to follow the same path as the three clan brothers and turn against each other because of the scientific examination.

Fang Jinxiu understood her mother-in-law's worries, and she glanced at Zong Yu. Naturally, Zong Yu would not turn against his brother because of money.

Her mother's worries would never happen with him.

Only Fang Jinxiu's attitude is the key to determining whether Zong Bai can continue the scientific examination.
