Old Li had experienced a lot of things and could still handle it, but Xiao Li had long been frightened. He could still accept it if he knew that this school was not closed. After all, there were many famous villages that had family property and family fields. He and Old Li's monthly salary had been discussed previously. When he saw the Yang siblings today, he was almost dumbfounded. Although he did not say much, the elegance and calmness in his movements were definitely not something that could be nurtured by this simple mountain. Mr. Li was surprised, but he also knew what to ask and what not to ask. Under the guidance of Mr. Feng, he and Old Li chatted with the village elders, trying to make themselves appear more gentle and intimate.
After the meal, everyone became familiar with the two gentlemen and had a good understanding of the situation in the school. Some parents who were determined to send their children to school were thinking about going to the gentlemen to register their children after the meal. Of course, there were also parents who couldn't make the decision themselves. They were thinking about how to fight for a chance for their children when they went back while stealing glances at the family head who was eating happily beside them.
Second daughter-in-law had already peeked at her mother-in-law more than ten times. However, other than snatching two pieces of meat for her sister-in-law, Old Lady Shan kept stuffing them into her mouth. She did not even look at her. Second daughter-in-law wanted to open her mouth a few times but closed it a few times. The eldest sister-in-law beside her thought that she was worried about her husband, who could not go out at home, and could not help but comfort her," Sister-in-law, hurry up and eat. Don't worry about Second Brother. Auntie Sun has already sent the food to those who can't come…"
Second daughter-in-law Shan muttered in a low voice," Sister-in-law, eat too…" She knew that her mother-in-law would definitely not let Cao 'er and Xiu' er go to school. Although they did not have to pay for their studies, and although Uncle Li Zheng had also said that it would not cost a lot of money for girls to learn needlework, her mother-in-law would not agree. After all, the two daughters were good at both work at home and outside the house. They could cut grass, dig vegetables, cook, and wash clothes. When they were free, they had to serve her aunt. However, she wanted to compete for it, not for anything else. He wanted to fight for a future for his daughter. When she got married in the future, even if she didn't have a dowry, she could at least have a craft to rely on. She wouldn't have to be like him, who had nothing to lose, and the child would also suffer.
It would be difficult!
He had to fight even if it was difficult!
She chewed hard on a piece of pork. How long had it been since she tasted meat? It was so fragrant! As she chewed, she bit her cheek, and a rusty taste appeared in her mouth. For today's welcoming winter banquet, other families brought out chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Even her mother-in-law, who had no children, brought a basket of potatoes, but her mother-in-law only brought two cabbages! It was a big family with only two cabbages. She saw her brother and sister-in-law's blushing faces, and also saw her eldest nephew and brother-in-law turning to leave when they were pulled back by the eldest brother of the Wang family…She was also embarrassed and embarrassed, but she still wanted her child to eat meat, so she thick-skinned sat down.
Because she was carrying San Ya, she didn't go to the back to help. Instead, she ordered her two daughters to help pick and wash the vegetables. When her daughters came back, they learned that Grandma Li Zheng said that her hands were cold and she didn't want them to help. She even gave each of them a piece of cake to eat while warming them up. Her heart felt even more bitter. The taste of the meat and the saltiness of her tears were chewed together and swallowed into her stomach.
Second daughter-in-law Shan finished her meal while constantly encouraging herself. She carried San Ya on her shoulder and cleaned the table and floor with the other women. From the corner of her eye, she saw her mother-in-law grab her sister-in-law's hand and get up to leave. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as she chased after her. She had to say this here, in front of the teacher, and in front of the whole village, because she had no chance at all when she returned home. Now, she didn't care what would happen to her if she angered her mother-in-law. She had to seize this opportunity!
"Mother…" Second daughter-in-law Shan walked over step by step. Every step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but it also felt like she was stepping on cotton. Although she used all her strength to open her mouth, it was not much higher than a mosquito's groan."Mother, Ertian and I want to send our daughters to school…"
Old Lady Shan did not hear her. She glanced at her and held her daughter's hand before continuing to walk. If not for her daughter holding her hand tightly, Old Lady Shan would not have stopped at all.
Second daughter-in-law Shan pursed her lips until they were almost bloodless. She puffed out her chest and took a step forward to block Old Lady Shan's way. She mustered up her courage and used all her strength to say,"Mom, I mean, Ertian and I have discussed sending Cao 'er and Xiu' er to school…"
"What?" This time, Old Lady Shan heard him clearly. Her eyebrows were furrowed into two lumps, and she had a pair of triangular drooping eyes. Her high cheekbones and thin lips were like a tiger in the forest that was about to die. She was bald and messy, but she still exuded a terrifying chill.
As soon as Old Madam Shan's aura spread out, Second Daughter-in-law felt that she was shorter by half. If she was at home, her mother-in-law would immediately pick up the broom and slap her face. But now that she was outside and so many people were watching, she felt that her mother-in-law would be more or less apprehensive. Even though she went all out, her tone still fell." Mother, we, we want to send Cao 'er and Xiu' er to school. Mother, please help us. I, I will do more work at home. Hubby, hubby, make more mats…"
The surroundings quieted down. Someone looked over, but Old Lady Shan did not care about this. She released her aura and said,"Ah!" Second Daughter-in-law Shan almost spat on her face.""Go to school? Why don't you go to heaven! It's not enough to raise a bunch of freeloaders. You still want money from me to go to school? No!"
Second daughter-in-law Shan reached out her hands to grab her mother-in-law's clothes, but she was pushed away by Old Lady Shan halfway. Although she was old, her body was much more plump and energetic than Second daughter-in-law Shan's thin body. Second daughter-in-law Shan staggered two steps back and almost fell. She hurriedly reached out to hold onto San Ya on her back. Cao 'er and Xiu' er had come over at some point and grabbed the corner of their mother's clothes.
"Mother, mother, I beg you! I do a lot of work at home, and, and I can also weave straw mats with Ertian!”
"Bah! Weaving straw mats, how much money can you make?”，Old Lady Shan did not expect that her second daughter-in-law, who had always been afraid to fart in front of her, would actually dare to humiliate her in front of so many people. She was immediately furious. She thought, she wanted to find something convenient to use. She turned around on the spot, but there was nothing. She wanted to take off her shoes, but when she reached out her hand, she remembered that it had just snowed and the ground was cold. She could only give up. She really wanted to bite her teeth and break her teeth. She shook off the other hand that was held by her old daughter, slapped her thigh with both hands, and howled,"Oh my God, come and take a look. This is going to turn the world upside down! Not only did you give birth to a bunch of money-losing goods, but you also dare to ask your parents 'coffins to go to school."
Second daughter-in-law fell to her knees."Mother…Mother…"
"Shut up!" Old Lady Shan clutched her chest." You heartless thing. You gave birth to a group of wretched girls. They're money-losing goods. I'm already kind enough to give you a bite. You still want money to go to school. Why don't you take a look at yourself!”
Not only did she cry, but she also burped. Old Lady Shan rolled her eyes before she could burp.
Shan Zhen Zhu stomped her foot,"Second Sister-in-law, look at how angry you are!"”
"I, I didn't…"
"You call this nothing? Mother is about to faint from anger!"
"I, I just, just wanted to…"
"What are you thinking about? What are you thinking about?" Shan Zhen Zhu's combat ability was not weak either.”
When Old Lady Shan heard her daughter's "guidance," she wanted to faint, but she remembered that the ground was cold. She rolled her eyes and spun around twice.
Everyone in the village knew about Old Shan's family, and everyone knew about Old Lady Shan's "deeds." Some of the people who were watching the show could not help but laugh out loud. There was also that mischievous kid who said loudly," Aunt Shan, if you feel dizzy, lie on the ground. The ground is cold. You'll wake up after a little ice…"
Two of the aunts couldn't stand it anymore and advised,"Don't worry, you're a girl! No matter what, your sister-in-law isn't someone you can talk to.”
Shan Zhenzhu was a person who cared about her face. When she heard this, she immediately lost her face. A pair of eyes that were like her mother's glared fiercely at Second Daughter-in-law. Her eyes were so vicious that they could emit fire. First Daughter-in-law, who was originally afraid of drawing fire and burying her head in work, inadvertently looked up and saw her sister-in-law's gaze. Her heart suddenly thumped. This gaze was too similar to the gaze of her mother-in-law when she looked at her sisters-in-law. It was like being stared at by a poisonous snake, making people feel a chill on their backs.
Outside the crowd, Boss Dan and Third Shan, who had just returned from sending a table, heard their mother's hysterical wailing from afar. The two brothers looked at each other and forced themselves to squeeze in. Neither of them saw the sarcastic smile on Shan Shitou's lips and the back view of him turning around and walking away.
"Mother, little sister, what's wrong?" Boss Dan asked in a low and muffled voice.”
When Old Lady Shan saw that her son had come, she forgot about pretending to faint and howled even louder. She spat out unbearable words and threatened to divorce her second daughter-in-law.
Of the four children, one of them had a pale face. Her mother's instinct allowed her to hold on and not fall to the ground. The two of them knelt on the cold ground and sobbed softly like their mother. The one on his back seemed to be frightened and cried like a cat.
"Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, get up and talk…" Third Brother Shan said honestly.
The voices of the crowd's pointing grew louder. A few warm-hearted women began to step forward to persuade them. However, this was, after all, a family matter, and it was not appropriate to persuade them further. They could only say things like "for the sake of the child" and "let's talk things out properly." Old Lady Shan went even further and scolded the entire family. She scolded them for not knowing what was good for them, for being unfilial, for forcing her mother to die, for being a freeloader, and for stepping on their noses…
In the house in the backyard, Li Zheng, who was working with the two gentlemen to start the recruitment process, was called out. He stood in the outer circle and listened to the general situation. He was so angry that he was like a Buddha out of his body and a Buddha in heaven. The two gentlemen had just praised the simple and honest folk customs of the village, but Li Zheng's face was slapped so hard that it made a sound. Fortunately, Mr. Feng and the others had already gone back. If this was... the school in the village would not be able to continue.
Wang Maocai was angry at Second Daughter-in-law Shan for stirring up trouble here, but he also knew that she had no choice. He was even more angry at Old Lady Shan's arrogant and domineering personality. There was no old lady in the village who did not treat her children and grandchildren as a person like her. The Yang family built a school and hired a teacher, and even exempted them from corsets. They even said that if the villagers learned needlework well, the embroidery workshop would directly accept embroidery from them. They were not satisfied with such a good thing in the world. They were not even willing to pay for their granddaughter's needlework. This old lady was really…Wang Maocai hated her so much that his teeth itched!
