"Mom," Liu Sisi called out when she saw her mother busy in the kitchen.

"Sisi, wake up! Dinner will be ready soon, just wait a little longer!"

"Mother, I have something to tell you." Liu Sisi took Wu's hand and put a 100-tael silver note in Wu's hand.

"Mother, now that we have money, we need to send my older brothers to school. Only through education can we have a chance to change our family's fate."

Madam Wu looked at the silver notes in her hand with trembling eyes. "100 taels? Daughter, how do you have so many silver notes? Didn't you give your father the 20 taels from the ginseng sale yesterday?"

"Oh dear! Mother, I sold some other things later but didn't give them to Father. I'm bringing them to you today!" Wu Shi held the money, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

“Daughter, this money is all earned by you, why don’t you buy yourself something instead of thinking about your brothers?”

“Mother, we are family. My brother is successful now, how could he mistreat his younger sister? Besides, I have my own money notes! If I want to buy something, I'll go and buy it myself.”

"I will find more ways to make money in the future, Mom, don't worry."

"Okay, Mom will go and prepare the food. I'll talk to your father about it, and after we eat, I'll go and call your older brothers over."

After the meal, Li Caiping insisted on cleaning up and washing the dishes, saying that she wouldn't feel at ease otherwise. Wu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she let her do it.

When Liu Dashi heard Zhou Lizheng calling him to come and take a look at some good plots of land for building houses, he left.

Just as the eldest and second brothers were about to pick up their farm tools and head to the fields, Wu called out to them. She also told the third, fourth, and fifth brothers to stop what they were doing—drying vegetables and chopping firewood. The group stood in a row, and the sixth brother ran over and joined them.

Sisi earned a lot of money yesterday. Now our family is rich. Sisi said she wants you brothers to go to school.

"We do have enough money right now to support your studies. Are you all willing to go?"

Liu Sifu came out and said, "Mother, I'm too old. I started my studies too late. I don't think I have any talent for studying, so I won't go."

“If Third Brother wants to go, I will go,” Liu Si’an said.

Liu Siping and Liu Si'an are twins. The fourth brother usually sticks to his third brother and follows him everywhere.

Liu Siping was tempted to go, but with so many brothers, how much money would it cost? So he remained silent.

Liu Siqiang was the one who most wanted to go. He was always envious of the children in the village who could go to school, but he was too embarrassed to ask since his older brother hadn't gone.

Liu Sixi didn't have a strong desire to study, so he remained silent.

“I want to go,” Liu Sile said.

My younger brother is still young and doesn't have many ideas yet. He just thought it was interesting to go to school and wanted to go.

When Liu Sisi saw this, she realized that only one of the men in the family was willing to go to school. That wouldn't do. What if he couldn't do well in his studies?

Liu Sisi could tell that they were still worried about money.

"Don't worry about the money. Those who want to go should definitely go. Don't jeopardize your future. If you consider me your sister as family, don't feel embarrassed to use the money I earned."

"If you pass the imperial examinations and become an official, just treat your younger sister well. That way, I'll have someone to back me up in the future, right?"

After hearing what his sister had said, Liu Siqiang was no longer hesitant.

“I want to go too,” Liu Siqiang and Liu Siping said at the same time.

Liu Sisi glanced at it and thought, "That makes more sense. If my third brother goes, my fourth brother will definitely go too. That makes four! As long as one of them succeeds, that's fine."

Ultimately, it was decided that the second, third, fourth, and sixth brothers would be sent to school.

The decision has been made. Now it's time to find an academy. The villagers all go to the "Wutong Academy" in town, but Liu Erlin's son, Liu Dawa, is also at that academy. Liu Sisi doesn't want her brothers to run into that family, to avoid more trouble.

Liu Sisi decided to go to the county again tomorrow to get new clothes for the whole family. She wore two sets of clothes that were patched and patched, and the other family members wore the same.
