Chapter 9: Raising Funds
Dong Ping didn't see his sister's absent-mindedness, so he thought for a while and said, "I'm going back to the academy in the future, I want to say hello to my sister, so that my sister won't miss me."

Dong Rong asked suspiciously, "Shu Xiu of the academy needs 20 taels of silver every year, how can Mrs. Niu be willing?"

Dong Ping knew that he couldn't hide this matter in the end, so he told the truth, "Well, a classmate in the academy invited me to study with him, and help with small things like studying ink and printing books on weekdays. As for Shu Xiu, my The classmate will help me to hand in all together."

The more Dong Rong heard this, the more she frowned. This is not like reading and learning together, it is obviously asking Dong Ping to be a book boy.It stands to reason that Dong Ping is still a boy at this age. Although he failed the county exam last time, with his hard work and intelligence, he will definitely pass the next time.But this classmate asked him to be a book boy, no matter how he thought it was intentional to humiliate him.

"No, I don't agree."

Dong Ping was a little surprised that his sister, who has always been soft-tempered, would object so strongly, but he still explained in a low voice, "Sister, don't worry, I... I'm fine."

"That's not going to work, don't worry, in two months, sister will definitely give you money to send you to the academy to study dignifiedly."

"Sister, Shuxiu is so expensive, where do you have it..." Dong Rong really couldn't figure out what her sister could do, but she didn't want to question her words, so she was in a dilemma for a while.

Dong Rong watched Silly Zhu'er lying not far away fighting ants with a branch, as if she didn't pay attention to their siblings' conversation, so she spoke out the plan that she had been thinking about for most of the night.

Dong Ping was so startled that his face changed, he opened his mouth wide and did not close it for a while.He is a student who has read sage books, how can he steal money from his elders?If the incident got out, how would he have the face to face others.He deliberately refused to help, but remembering that his sister married Cao's family empty-handed, he must have suffered a lot of grievances. If he made money from selling ice this time, even if he only added a few new clothes for his sister.

Dong Rong saw his struggle and contradiction, and quickly persuaded, "Don't worry, brother Ping, we don't take it and don't pay it back, as long as we bury it back as soon as we earn money, no one will notice it without anyone noticing it. "

Dong Ping thought about it carefully, Niu usually hides his private money in the northeast corner of his vegetable garden. If he and his sister hadn't been so hungry a few years ago and got up in the middle of the night to break cucumbers to fill their stomachs, I'm afraid they would never have known She also secretly hid so much silver money.If they "borrow" ten and a half months this time, as long as they are careful, maybe they won't be discovered, right?

"Sister, when are we going to steal... no, borrow money?"

Dong Rong was very happy when she heard her younger brother's tone, and said in a low voice, "It's not too late, I'll borrow it tonight. If the test is successful, it's best to start selling it during the eighth day temple fair. The custodial business is booming.”

Dong Ping wanted to ask a few more details, not wanting someone to preempt him, "Where are you going to play, bring me one!"
