Yu Xiaolian knew what Sun Wulin's wife was worried about; she was simply afraid of losing the source of income and the whole family living off the land until it was exhausted.
"Aunt Wu, I think you should ask Mansheng's opinion. If Mansheng wants to continue studying, you don't have to worry about the gift money; I will provide it for him."
The reason the gap between rich and poor is so great is that some people are very content with the status quo. As soon as they achieve a small success, they feel satisfied and refuse to strive further.
In Sun Wulin's wife's eyes, Sun Mansheng already knows more characters than the other sons of the Sun Family, and he can even write, which is quite enough for her. She never thought of having Sun Mansheng to achieve a top scholar rank; not even a Scholar's degree crossed her mind.
Back then, Sun Wulin was considered the smartest person in the Sun Family, yet he couldn't even pass the exam as a student.
