345 Wang Wulang Who Was Beaten Up
When it was Wang Silang’s turn, he said firmly, “Like Chuangui, I want to be an official.”
He did not ask to be a fifth-grade official, but he silently set a goal for himself in his heart. He had to be a practical person.
This was because the teacher had said that only those who were officials in the Imperial Court could speak up and protect their families at critical moments.
There were too many people in the Wang Family. Perhaps someone would need protection in the future. He hoped that he could become the support of his family when he grew up.
“Very good, study hard too.” Wang Dalang patted Wang Silang’s shoulder. “But don’t be too tense. You’re still young. It’s fine to study for a few more years before taking the exam. In any case, there are many people studying in our family now. It won’t matter even if you become an official a few years later.”
Wang Silang smiled. “Big Brother, don’t worry. I know.”
He was not a bookworm. If the pressure of studying was too great, he would also go out to play and relax.
Otherwise, he would go crazy from studying.
Wang Wulang looked around and realized that there were no adults present, so he lowered his voice and said, “I’ll be a general in the future. If I make a great contribution, all of you will be honored. If I’m sacrificed in the future, we’ll have another general temple here. With two generals in a village, the incense offerings will definitely rise to the sky!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he received a few punches on his back.
“What are you talking about every day!”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft. Hurry up and spit out what you said just now. What sacrifice? So unlucky!”
“Fifth Brother, are you asking for a beating?!”
Wang Dalang was even more helpless. “If you say this kind of words, I won’t let you be a general. If you have such thoughts, I’ll tell Grandma.”
It did not matter if he could not stop him. In any case, he just had to tell Grandma and there were thousands of ways to keep him here.
Even Little Ah Yu clenched her fists and said angrily, “I don’t want a general’s temple. I only want Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother is bad. I won’t let you be a general anymore!”
Wang Wulang begged for mercy. “I’ve just read too much from the books in town. Alright, alright, I won’t say anything.”
He then went to hug Little Ah Yu and coaxed the little fellow whose eyes were red. “Fifth Brother said something wrong. I won’t sacrifice myself. Don’t be angry.”
Little Ah Yu snorted and turned her head to the side, planning to ignore him for the time being.
“All of you have good thoughts. But did anyone think about the family?” Wang Liulang said, “Have you forgotten that our family has such a big steamed bun shop? In the future, I’ll open a branch. Not only will I sell steamed buns, but I’ll also sell other food. I’ll let the surrounding people eat at our place two or three times a day.”
How good would it be if he could sell and eat food all day long?
Wang Liulang had this thought long ago, and everyone vaguely knew about it.
Wang Qilang laughed loudly. “Then I’ll be Sixth Brother’s accountant. Otherwise, if Sixth Brother opens the shop alone, he might really eat himself to death today. I’ll help Sixth Brother and reduce our losses, and Sixth Brother will give me a dividend. Perhaps I can even rely on the dividends to become a rich man.”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
The children spoke happily, completely unaware that a few adults were eavesdropping a wall away from them.
Hearing them talk about their future plans, the adults revealed gratified smiles.
As for whether to change their minds, there was no need.
In any case, when they were growing up, their parents did not interfere much in their life.
A child was a child. They had their own lives. There was no need to make their children live like them.
Madam Zhang muttered, “It’s just that our Wulang’s thinking is a little problematic. Let’s talk to him tomorrow.”
There was really a general’s tomb in their village. Now, everyone was not as opposed to the idea of going into the career of a general.
However, it was not good to have a brat at home who was always thinking about sacrificing himself.
