Chapter 2481: Chapter 2481: The Capital of Arrogance
It’s just a pity that her grandson doesn’t want to wait even for a moment, feeling that the longer the night, the more dreams, and something might happen.
“Grandmother, didn’t I tell you, small impatience can spoil great plans? We must not only focus on these petty gains in front of us but consider the bigger picture and think about the good days ahead.”
An Que softly advised, hoping his grandmother would stop coming up with any bad ideas.
“Grandmother knows.”
The old woman helplessly glanced at her grandson.
If she didn’t understand this point, would she still allow those mud-legs to take back the land? She has to bleed a little!
It’s just a pity. Before, her grandson said that doing less is better than doing more, so she didn’t mention this matter. Now thinking about it makes her heart ache more, pulsing painfully.
“If we could wait a few days, after the wheat is harvested, how wonderful it would be…”
“Grandmother!”
Not even waiting for the old woman to finish her words, An Que interrupted her with a frown.
Wait a few days, wait a few days, after a few days, who knows what else might happen? What if by that time, the county government’s order has already been issued, he’d have no chance to regret it.
Perhaps by now, Brother Ziyu and Brother Qing Ke have already handled this matter.
Brother Ziyu aside, he knows he can’t compete with someone who has connections in the county government, but Brother Qing Ke, what is he?
Why should he be beneath a poor scholar like Qing Ke? So, he must handle this matter as soon as possible.
This way, if there’s an order from the county government, he would be the one leading the return of the land to the farmers, and the County Magistrate would surely look at him with admiration.
Therefore, he can’t let himself fall behind others, he must handle the matter quickly, better than Brother Qing Ke.
If he could manage it faster than Brother Ziyu, that would be even better.
Even though he knows this might be unrealistic, after all, Brother Ziyu has connections in the county government, it’s something he can’t compare with.
Moreover, it’s not just Brother Ziyu who has connections in the county government, there must be others too. If others also handle this matter quickly like him, wouldn’t he fall behind again?
“Grandmother, in the future about this matter, you must remind my mother not to boast outside; it might bring me big trouble.”
He admonished.
The reputation of a scholar is crucial, more than just the scholar’s own knowledge and upbringing, but also the upbringing of family members is key.
“I know, I know, in the future, Grandmother will restrain your mother.” The old woman agreed verbally but didn’t really care.
Her obedient grandson is a scholar; everyone around is eager to curry favor with them. Their family of An Da has the reasons to be proud. What’s there to be afraid of?
Returning the land to those mud-legs already makes her uncomfortable, if she has to endure her days meekly, she might as well die. To be a mute in the village without saying anything, that’s impossible for her.
“Que’er, don’t you still need to study? Go inside first, and Grandmother will make you something good to eat.”
“Okay.”
An Que did not refuse, responding.
He also feels uncomfortable. This land is their family’s biggest income. Now it’s all returned, just thinking about it makes him want to curse!
“I’ll go read for a while. Grandmother, you should rest too. Let Second Aunt do anything that needs doing when she returns; she has the most strength.”
