Chapter 1098 It's Really Not Easy
"The dowry for Yingchun is settled, right? What worries does father-in-law have after that? Zifu's marriage, or Zifu's Shuxiu?"

Seeing Zhao Changlu's smile, Lin Xiaofu immediately asked again.

The quarrel tonight can be regarded as fierce, and both sides can be regarded as speaking clearly.

Although Zhao Zhang only wanted money when he opened his mouth, but his father-in-law didn't, but the father-in-law said so much, didn't he mean the same thing?
That being the case, let's talk about it on the table.

"Although Zifu has reached the age to talk about marriage, he has to take the imperial examination, and the marriage will be decided after the county and government examinations next year."

Zhao Changlu didn't expect the second daughter-in-law to bring up this matter so straightforwardly, and couldn't help being slightly surprised, but with a flash of his eyes, he immediately spoke up.

"It's just that this imperial examination is different from ordinary studies, and it is extremely expensive. Not to mention that Shuxiu has more children than other children, and he will have to pay for the exam next year. You have also said that everything in the county is more expensive than Liqiao."

"And now he wakes up early every day to fish, and also fishes in the evening. In fact, he misses the time for studying, and he is so tired that it is not good for him to study. This is another reason why I want to close the tea stall."

"Since I offered him the imperial examination, I naturally wanted to give it up. Now it's not just a question of money, but also time. He has to be moved out to study."

Zhao Changlu spoke helplessly again, and Lin Xiaofu gave Zhao Zifu a sympathetic look.

Although it is usually hard to tell how tired and miserable he is, it is indeed not easy for a young man of sixteen or seventeen, who was pampered when he was young, to be able to go fishing every morning and evening.

Unlike Zhao Zicheng, who was like a weed when he was young, he naturally did things differently.

Seeing the second sister-in-law looking at him, Zhao Zifu curled his lips, and wanted to take the opportunity to complain, but thinking of what happened before, for some reason, he held back.

And Lin Xiaofu quickly retracted his gaze and continued to the topic.

"Actually, the family members are not that complicated. Now that Yingchun is married, it is considered a big event. Yue'er is still early in school, and that is the matter of offering Zifu the imperial examination."

"Since the tea stall is closed, naturally there is no need to sell fish balls, and the Fang family will not come to drag fish when we come back. We only sell fish, and it is enough for the eldest brother to go fishing."

"In this way, Fu will free up time, selling fish and then going to Yang's house to buy, so father and elder brother can do it easily."

"What is your father-in-law to worry about in such a day? To be honest, the Zhao family is much better than Lin Yinbao's family, but there are two scholars to support, and there is one who has a bad reputation and is not married."

Lin Xiaofu was afraid that Zhao Changlu would find another excuse to complain, so he took the eldest family of the Lin family out for comparison.

"It's the village chief's house. There are old people, young people, those who are studying, and those who are not married. The burden is much heavier, and they still don't live by farming."

"How do you compare? The village head's family has a lot of income from the tea mountain in the village, and the village's public account also has money, which is beyond comparison for us ordinary people."

Zhao Changlu immediately said in a light-hearted manner.

"Speaking of tea mountains, autumn tea picking in the village is about to begin. Let mother-in-law and sister-in-law help pick tea, and I can earn some wages a day."

However, Lin Xiaofu's abacus was also beeping, which made Zhao Changlu deeply feel that he had met his opponent, and he couldn't find anything to say for a while.

"Speaking of mother-in-law, my husband and I are also very worried."

Seeing that Zhao Changlu was depressed, Lin Xiaofu changed the subject again and sighed helplessly.

"We didn't even go to the county town, and she thought we were picking up money. Regardless of the hard work, she just asked for money, which is really chilling."
