"Grandma, no way, you mean I used to be a little mute?" Zhao Qingyan was very unconvinced.

Mrs. Huang stroked her granddaughter's hair.

"What do you think? It seems like all you can say is 'grandpa' and 'grandma,' and you can't say anything else."

Zhao Qingyan looked as if she had been hit hard, "Grandma."

"Haha, alright, Grandma won't tease my sweet girl anymore," Huang said with a smile.

His gaze unconsciously drifted back to the laptop Zhao Qingyan had just taken out.

Zhao Qingyan began to show Huang photos of her past life, as well as movies and videos.

The sound was naturally kept within a range that only the grandfather and grandson could hear.

The more Huang looked at it, the more curious she became. "My dear girl, you used to wear such short clothes. Wasn't that indecent?"

"Grandma, that world is technologically advanced; dressing like me is already considered very conservative."

Look, these shorts of mine are cropped, only showing a small section of my thighs. I could wear them even shorter.

Moreover, we don't read about female virtues and precepts; we emphasize gender equality.

In terms of marriage, it is also a monogamous system, which means that a man can only marry one wife.

During the duration of their marriage, the man was not allowed to take a concubine or keep a mistress.

Concubines and mistresses were collectively referred to as "mistresses" and were despised.

The law is also strict regarding the money a man spends on his mistress.

The legal wife has the right to report the matter to the authorities to recover the money.

If two people can no longer live together, they can get a divorce, which is also known as a divorce by mutual consent.

Women can work outside the home, whether it's as factory workers, running their own businesses, or holding official positions; they are respected.

Women hold up half the sky and do not need to rely on men.

That's not all; we have compulsory education.

In other words, when children are young, the state, or the imperial court, will provide them with free opportunities to study.

The university I attended back then was what we would call the Imperial College here, the highest institution of learning.

However, I studied at a teacher's college, which means that after completing my studies, I can become a teacher..."

As Zhao Qingyan explained the facts, Huang's eyes lit up even more.

He was especially excited when he heard his granddaughter say that she could be a teacher.

“My dear daughter, your knowledge is excellent. If you can educate your father and the others, our family won’t need to send them to school, which will save us a lot of money.”

Huang said this with great care and calculation.

Zhao Qingyan smiled faintly.

"Grandma, the books we read are completely different from those in our Divine Dragon Kingdom."

Besides, I'm only 12. Even if I'm smart, I still need a plausible reason, right?

My family members are all very shrewd; I don't want to be suspected.

The texts we use here, which I would call classical Chinese in my past life, we read very little of, we only used them for appreciation. If you asked us to write in classical Chinese, we'd be basically doomed, including myself.

Our articles are just like our everyday speech, the difference being that they are more rigorous.

Huang was a little confused.

"My dear daughter, you've studied for so many years and even became a teacher. What are your skills, or what can you teach?"

Zhao Qingyan thought about it carefully.

"Grandma, I can teach Dad and the others to do math. As for other things, they're not very useful for now."

Ms. Huang nodded, slightly disappointed.

Sigh, she still has to spend a lot of money to send these unfilial children to school; it pains her to part with it.

It's quite remarkable that my granddaughter can teach arithmetic. If she learns it well, she could become someone's accountant.

Knowing that Huang's stinginess had flared up, all we could do was offer comfort. What else could we do?

"Grandma, don't worry about money. There are plenty of ways to earn money."

"If I weren't afraid of not being able to pass the official channels, I could live a life of luxury with my grandparents for the rest of my life without any problems."

Huang nodded.

"Grandma knows her daughter is the most filial, but please don't mention these things again."

They should be the ones to earn the money for household expenses; they can't be allowed to leech off you.

That would harm them and you even more. Think about it, doesn't that make sense?

Zhao Qingyan nodded, touched by her grandmother's consideration for her.

After putting the notebook away, Zhao Qingyan noticed that Huang Shi didn't have any decent jewelry on her head or hands, so she used her mind to select a silver bracelet from her spatial storage.

This is a solid 2-tael bracelet with no complicated patterns; it's just a smooth surface.

He took it out and put it directly on Huang's wrist.

"Grandma, don't you think it suits you perfectly? It makes your hands look so much prettier," Zhao Qingyan praised.

Huang looked at the bracelet and liked it more and more. After admiring it for a while, she took it off.

"My dear girl, put it away quickly. Grandma knows you're filial. But now is not the time to wear it."

Everyone in the family knows that Grandma doesn't have much jewelry.

We haven't been going out lately, and everyone in the family has been saving money. My wife is wearing something so eye-catching.

Not to mention others, even your two sisters-in-law will have their own thoughts.

"When we need to decorate the storefront, you can give it to Grandma then, my dear."

Zhao Qingyan thought for a moment and obediently put it away.

The reason for this was that the family had no legitimate source of income. Both the grandfather and grandson were in low spirits.

When you're in a bad mood, only good food can cheer you up.

"Grandma, what do you want to eat? Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, whatever you like," Zhao Qingyan said generously.

This made Huang burst into laughter.

When Zhao Minggeng returned from relieving himself of the water, the grandfather and grandson had just finished eating a six-inch cream cake.

"Mother, daughter, I'm back." Her voice preceded her arrival.

Zhao Minggeng, who was standing under the eaves and had started taking off his raincoat, shouted.

Zhao Qingyan responded and went over to help her father hang the raincoat on the wall.

Upon entering the main room, Zhao Minggeng quickly and carefully took off his raincoat and boots.

"This is wonderful, my daughter. This is the first time in my life that I haven't gotten wet in the rain."

Those people rushing to relieve themselves are slipping and sliding, but your dad walks slowly and steadily.

Zhao Qingyan quickly echoed.

"Yeah, how can they compare to Dad?"

Those shoes and raincoats that Dad wore were ones they would never be able to wear in this life, the next life, or the life after that.

Walking steadily is a given. Dad, are you tired?

"Hey, I'm not tired, I'm not tired. It's nothing, it's just a trip."

"Honey, what did you sneak a bite of? What's that white stuff on your lips?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyan naturally stuck out her tongue and wiped the cream off her lips.

"No, I haven't eaten anything." She knows how to play dumb.

Seeing Zhao Minggeng's resentful little eyes, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Dad, I was just kidding. Go wash your hands first, and I'll bring your portion to your room later."

"Look, the rain is getting lighter. I estimate it will stop in about fifteen or fifteen minutes."

Zhao Qingyan didn't say what came next, but Zhao Minggeng understood: when it comes to cheating, you have to do it in private.

Sure enough, the rain stopped 15 minutes later, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.

The air was filled with the distinctive scent of earth, and the plants looked even greener and fresher.

Zhao Minggeng really didn't want to wade through the mud and water in the yard, so he simply sat still in the main room.

Helpless, Zhao Qingyan had no choice but to put the raincoat and boots that her father had just worn into her spatial storage.
