Chapter 499 - 499 486 What are you running for
?Chapter 499: Chapter 486: What are you running for? Chapter 499: Chapter 486: What are you running for? When mentioned by someone else, and not even by one of his own, Zhao Ziping became embarrassed and angry, snarling furiously, “You sure talk a lot, do you think you can become mute if you stop talking?”
“If both of you continue to blabber nonsense, just get out, and forget about asking me for help!”
Zhao Liu and Zhao Sanke immediately became flustered.
Zhao Ziping was the only scholar in the village. When anyone in the village needed to write Spring Festival couplets or a letter, they relied on Zhao Ziping.
Zhao Liu and Zhao Sanke, uncle and nephew, had an elder uncle who conducted business in the city. They wanted to seize the opportunity to go and find some work there, but they weren’t sure if their uncle would accept them. So, they planned to write him a letter first to see if he would reply.
If he replied, it would mean he was willing to lend a hand to his relatives back in his hometown. If he didn’t, it would mean he didn’t want anything to do with these poor relatives, and they would feel ashamed if they went there anyway. So they wouldn’t go.
But for this letter writing, they needed someone else’s help because they couldn’t write themselves. Hiring someone in town to write the letter would cost twenty to thirty coins, and there wasn’t even a guarantee that it would be good. If they wanted a scholar to write it, it would cost forty to fifty coins.
