Chapter Seventy-Three: Countermeasures

"This ...... Ling'er, the most important thing for a girl is to marry a good man. If you want to find a good family, you have to learn to do laundry, cook, and housework. People say: What is the reason why a woman is talentless...... Ling'er, you can now write your name, write prescriptions, and settle accounts, that's enough! Let's stop going to school, okay? ”

"Not good! Why don't you let it go? It's not that my family can't afford to pay the bundles, even if I don't have money, I go to cut down trees, sell firewood, I earn my own bonds, I want to go to school, I have to go to school! Ling'er almost jumped up and protested strongly, this was the first time she had been so excited since she crossed over!

"Ling'er, Ling'er, don't worry, listen to my mother, listen to my mother!"

"If I don't listen, I have to go to school, and I have to go to school for everything!"

"Alas, you child, why are you so disobedient? You ......"

", don't say it!" Daddy came to the kitchen door at some point. The old lady said: "Alas, his father, look at Ling'er, this child, as soon as he said that he would not let her go to school, he began to make trouble, and Wang Yuanwai ......"

Outside the king! A flash of inspiration flashed in Ling'er's mind, by the way, today is Wang Fugui's first day of school. As soon as he came, Huzi Niang didn't let Xiaohuzi go to school, and the old lady did the same, and there were gifts from Wang Yuan's family on the table in his own hall.

Could it be that the gift was given so that he would not go to school? In this way, in addition to Yue'er, the old village chief only needs to teach Wang Fugui alone, which is no different from inviting the old village chief to be his family teacher, and it also saves Hu Ziniang from going to school with a female doll without interest, not being able to learn things, being gossiped and so on!

The more Ling'er thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she looked up angrily and said, "Mother, the gift from the king's family is just for you not to let me go to the old village chief's house to go to school, right?" ”

"This ......" The old lady's embarrassed and hesitant expression was the answer, Ling'er suddenly became angry, jumped up and rushed to the door: "I'll go to the master now and ask him to comment on the reasoning, if he says that I can't learn well, I don't obey, and I won't teach me anymore, I'll come back immediately, and I'll never go to school again!" If not, I would like to ask Wang Fugui and his father, what does it mean? ”

"Hey, Ling'er! Ling'er, come back! The old lady chased her little feet anxiously, until she finally stopped Ling'er at the gate of the courtyard, and the old lady panted and grabbed her and said, "You kid... Are you going to tire your mother to death? ”

Ling'er was still angry, and he didn't care about it: "Mother, you are so rare that little thing from other people, you are so good to survive, I will make money by myself!" ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, pulled her back, and said angrily: "Dead girl, what nonsense? Is your mother that kind of person? ”

Ling'er didn't pay attention for a while, but was pulled by the old lady, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that the old lady's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes. The old lady said angrily: "You are enlightened now, smart, and assertive, you can do whatever you want!" If you can do that, you can go, don't come back, I... I'll assume I didn't support you! ”

The old lady said that tears were falling down, pinching her sleeves and turning around to wipe the corners of her eyes! Ling'er suddenly came to her senses, she was really angry, how could she talk to her mother like that? The old lady worked hard to raise herself, and she made such a fuss for a little, she shouldn't have it!

Ling'er took out her handkerchief, moved to the old lady's side, and pulled her sleeve: "Mother, don't cry, Ling'er is wrong!" Mother......"

But the more Ling'er apologized, the more the old lady cried, and the appearance of the old tears was really distressing. Dad walked over slowly, coughed twice, and said, "Mother, Ling'er, let's go back to the house, don't let people see jokes at the door!" ”

Ling'er took the opportunity to hold the old lady's arm: "Yes, mother, let's go, let's go back to the house!" ”

The old lady did not object, and slowly walked back to the house according to Ling'er's strength, and the family closed the door and sat around the table. Daddy sat above with his head down, the old lady was still gently wiping the corners of his eyes, and there were a few dazzling boxes on the table.

After being silent for a long time, the father said: "Mother, since Ling'er likes to go to school, let her go, I'll return this thing tomorrow!" ”

The old lady looked up: "But his father, didn't Sister-in-law Zhou say ......"

"What did he say? There must always be a first come, first come, the old village chief received our Ling'er first, and he didn't say that Ling'er would not be allowed to go to school, Sister-in-law Zhou is just a servant woman next to Grandma Feng, and her words can't be done! ”

The old lady bowed her head and was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Alas, that being said, why don't I want Ling'er to continue to go to school, but after all, Wang Yuanwai's family is the richest man in our village, and the old village chief has to give three points to his family."

Before Ling'er opened his mind, our things were sold to his shop, and now the things are not sold to them, and the shop guy sees us all picking his nose and picking his eyes, if we do it against his family again this time, this will be the days to come...... Alas! ”

Ling'er was anxious when she saw the old lady's scared appearance, and she really wanted to scream back with her neck, but she just provoked the old lady to drop the beans. Think about it carefully, although my family doesn't rely on the king's family to live, but after all, the family is powerful, and those dog slaves love to bully others, and they offend to death, our family is really sad!

But is that all there is to it? Really don't go to school? Ling'er thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Dad, mother, Ling'er has thought of a complete solution, what do you think?" ”

The old father and the old lady looked at Ling'er at the same time, and the old lady nodded: "Really?" Come and hear it! ”

"Mother, today someone from Wang's family came and told me the reason why I was not allowed to go to school?"

"This ......" the old lady lowered her head and thought about it: "That week, my sister-in-law didn't explicitly say that she wouldn't let you go to school, she only said that it would be good for girls to learn needlework and cook well, and it would be useless to study too much; Also said...... The bundle that the rich young master of their family handed over to the old village chief has two taels of silver a month, which is more than the school in the city, and if you want to put it in other families, the gentlemen who specially invited to the house are not so expensive! ”

"That's all? Mother, do they still say that the male dolls who study with girls are not promising, can't learn anything, and will be taken badly? ”

"Oh, yes, that's right, Sister-in-law Zhou kept saying this, that's it!"

Ling'er understood and said happily: "That's easy to do, don't the schools in the city have holidays every ten days or the New Year's Day?" Wang Fugui must have a holiday when he goes to school with the old village chief, since he is taboo to study with girls, then I will take advantage of Wang Fugui's vacation? ”

Dad and Lady were both amazed when they heard this, and the Lady slapped her face and said, "Yes, this is a good way!" But Ling'er, if you go three or five days a month, won't you be able to learn something? ”

"Mother rest assured, Ling'er is confident, as long as the master teaches Ling'er all the things to learn in ten days, Ling'er comes back to review by herself, there will be no problem, and you can help your father and mother work at other times, just the best of both worlds! It's just that this will have to work hard! ”

Daddy nodded and said, "That's right!" Mother, you go and prepare some things, Ming'er and Ling'er go to the old village chief's house together, and talk to others, thank you; In addition, return all the things sent by the king's family! ”

The father slapped the board, and the old lady agreed, and went to prepare the gift happily.
