"There's also Mr. Li from the Lijia Village next door. His family used to be extremely poor, but he later got into university and is now a teacher. He lives a very good life!" Shen Qiqi gave another example, trying to convince the old lady with facts.

Mrs. Lu listened to Shen Qiqi's story with a gloomy expression.

Although she is stubborn, she is not completely unreasonable.

She knew in her heart that studying could indeed change one's destiny, but she just couldn't bring herself to admit that she was wrong.

“Those are other people’s children, our Lu family’s children…” Mrs. Lu wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Shen Qiqi.

"Mom, studying and family are inseparable. As long as you are willing to work hard, anyone can become a talent." Shen Qiqi said in a firm tone, with a burning gaze, as if she could see through people's hearts.

The room fell silent, and everyone looked at Mrs. Lu, waiting for her final decision.

Old Mrs. Lu's expression was unpredictable, as if she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

"Hmph," the old lady finally spoke, "Even if you're good at studying, you still have to..." She stopped mid-sentence, her eyes falling on Shen Qiqi, her expression complex and scrutinizing.

Old Mrs. Lu's expression was changeable, like the weather in June, changing at any time.

She snorted coldly, the sound coming out of her nose. "Even if you're good at studying, you still have to... eat your fill first! Our Lu family has been peasants for generations, and we've all lived well, haven't we? Reading so many books is just a waste of food!"

She turned to look at Lu Qing, her tone carrying a hint of command, "Third brother, I'm telling you, don't let your wife lead you astray! What does she know? She just knows how to mess around! In our family, you still have to listen to me!"

Shen Qiqi almost rolled her eyes. This old lady was simply a stone in the toilet that refused to listen to anything!

She glanced at Lu Qing and saw that he was frowning, obviously also troubled by the old lady's stubbornness.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart.

She knew that confronting the old lady head-on would not work, so she had to change her approach.

This old lady is simply stubborn. If you don't use some powerful force on her, she will really think she is the Empress Dowager!

The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth curled up slightly, and an idea quietly sprouted in her mind.

If we want to promote modern educational concepts in the village, we must first overcome the huge obstacle of Mrs. Lu.

She knew that this was not just a war between her and Old Lady Lu, but also a contest between new and old ideas.

She must win this battle!

Her eyes turned and fell on Lu Qing's nephew Xiao Shitou.

The little guy was looking at her eagerly, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.

Shen Qiqi's heart moved, got it!

She walked up to Little Stone, squatted down, and asked softly, "Little Stone, do you want to learn to read? Do you want to read and write like the kids in the city?"

Little Stone nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling, "Yes! Aunt San, I want to learn!"

"Okay!" Shen Qiqi smiled and touched Xiao Shitou's head, then raised her head and looked at Mrs. Lu, her tone calm and firm, "Mom, since you think studying is a waste of food, why don't we make a bet."

Mrs. Lu was stunned and raised her eyebrows. "Bet? What?"

"Let's bet... Can I help Little Stone recognize 300 words within three months?" Shen Qiqi said slowly, with a mysterious smile on her lips.

Old Mrs. Lu was a little confused by Shen Qiqi's sudden challenge. She looked at Shen Qiqi suspiciously. What was this third daughter-in-law doing?

At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly changed the subject and said to Lu Qing, "Husband, don't you think so?" After that, she winked at him meaningfully.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood and cooperated: "Yes, I support you."

Everyone in the room looked at Shen Qiqi, waiting for her next words.

Shen Qiqi suddenly stood up, picked up a worn picture book on the table, walked straight to the door, and said without looking back: "Let's go!"
