four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 444 Decision
The moon is full and the wind is high, here at the Jin family.

Because of Miao's fainting, the Jin family was in chaos. Although Situ Yi said it was nothing serious, everyone couldn't let go if he couldn't wake up.

Jin Laibao sat outside the gate, enjoying the cool night wind, looking at the moon above his head, lost in thought.

"Brother." A voice came from behind.

Jin Laibao looked back and said, "Duobao, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"You're not asleep either, hey, what are you thinking about?" Jin Duobao asked.

Guilt and confusion surged in Jin Laibao's eyes, "I was thinking, is studying really that good? The people in the book school bully us, even my husband takes care of the dishes, and we side with whoever has money and power. Once something big happens, all the book schools in the city will say that our children have moral problems..."

"Brother, don't think so much. Didn't grandpa tell us to relax? If the Yucai Book School doesn't accept us, there will naturally be a knowledgeable book school that accepts us." Jin Duobao said cheerfully.But what was hard to ignore was the slight loneliness in his eyes.

Jin Laibao looked back at the messy house, pulled Jin Duobao out of the house, stood on an empty field ridge far away from home, and said loudly through gritted teeth.

"But I don't want to be a burden to the family anymore. If this happens once, I can make grandma faint with anger. If it happens again, I will be an unfilial descendant!"

"Brother, you..." The volume was loud enough to hurt Jin Duobao's eardrums.

Jin Laibao knew that his emotions had exploded and he had lost control. He quickly turned around and raised his hand to wipe away the tears that overflowed due to excitement and guilt.

"I don't want to read anymore."

"What?" Jin Duobao walked up to his eldest brother, his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard, "Brother, my family has spent a lot of money on our enlightenment before we even started, how can we just give up? I feel so sorry for my grandparents, my fifth aunt, and my younger sister..."

Jin Laibao took a deep breath: "Duobao, do you still remember what Mr. Pei said that day?"

"Ah?" Jin Duobao racked his brains, "You mean... Master Pei said that you have good bones and are suitable for joining the army?"

"Well!" Jin Laibao looked at the brightly lit home with firm eyes, "I want to find Mr. Pei and ask him to take me away and leave me somewhere with an army. Duobao, I want to join the army. I don’t want to study anymore!”

To put it bluntly, the 'scholars' he has met so far are all high-minded, extremely rotten, and can deny a person's rest of his life with just one sentence. This is extremely hypocritical, and he doesn't want to be that kind of person.

He felt that he should take the path that he liked and wanted to take, rather than the path that most people in the world hoped for. It was good to honor his ancestors through the imperial examination, but that was not his ambition.

Jin Laibao had to admit that he preferred to wield swords and sticks and didn't like to shake his head and talk about nonsense. It was just because of the efforts of his family that he never said it.

But today, Qi Zhongbo's words of immorality and grandma's fainting of anger made him completely understand what he wanted.

He wants his family to be honored by him, instead of being exhausted mentally and physically!
"Brother!" Jin Duobao put his hand on the shoulder of Jin Laibao, who was thinking a lot, "Let's join the army together!"

"You...?" Jin Laibao suddenly raised his head and looked at his fourth brother, "Don't you like reading a lot? When you were in Tanhua School, that old guy Cai Fuzi didn't teach you anything, but you were able to learn without a teacher... …”

Jin Duobao grinned and said, "I have inquired, no matter how good I am at studying, I am not qualified to take part in the imperial examination."

When Jin Laibao heard his brother's words, he looked over in confusion, "Why? Your knowledge is the best among our brothers!"
