As a result, He Erniu turned over every corner of the house and only found several copper coins.
He Erniu's eyes turned red and he almost slapped Ms. Hetian.
Ms. Hetian was terrified and anxiously confessed the truth—
"My younger brother wants to get married, and the girl's family is asking for a betrothal gift of four thousand coins. How could my family have so much money?"
"My sister-in-law is pregnant and needs good food, which costs quite a bit just for eggs and meat every month."
Of course, these are everyday expenses.
Yet the largest and truly draining expenditure of the He Family's savings was this: "My brother met a friend who said he could get the exam questions, and once he has them, my brother can pass the exam to become a scholar!"
Once he becomes a scholar, he will be a true intellectual.
Tian Yaozong would then be someone who could truly bring honor to the family.
