Yan Qiu and Xing Hui shook their heads rapidly!

They didn't want to live like Grandma at all!

They didn't want to live either their grandmother's or their aunt's life.

I don't want to scheme and fight over a little food, and I don't want to exchange harsh words and cold remarks every day in my little world.

Not only did Yan Qiuxing shake her head resolutely, but Jiang Hehu and the other two also shook their heads.

They didn't want their eldest and second eldest sisters to live that kind of life.

They want their sister to have a good life!

Shuiqing was very satisfied; seeing her children united is what every mother wants to see most.

Having finished her straightforward explanation, she began to share her deeper feelings: "Furthermore, there is no such thing as a bad education, regardless of gender."

If it's not good, why send boys to school? We can't let them suffer.

If it weren't good, why would princesses and young ladies hire female tutors to teach them?

They're not stupid; studying is definitely a good thing.

The five children were stunned when they heard this argument for the first time.

"Furthermore, what do you mean by 'no matter how well a child is taught after spending money, once they reach marriageable age, they belong to someone else's family'? That's completely wrong!"

Getting married doesn't mean you're dead; it just means you've moved from your parents' home to your husband's home. You're still yourself.

The knowledge she's learned is in her head; she can read and write, and no one can take it away. As long as she's happy, isn't that enough? How can it be considered a loss?" Shui Qing became increasingly angry as she spoke!

She couldn't control what outsiders thought, nor did she want to, but she was determined to care for her own children.

Who doesn't want their children to have a good life?

Just like her father said, once a daughter marries into another family, she will no longer have her parents' protection, so we should treat her very well.

Even a butcher who slaughters pigs knows this principle, so how could others not understand it? They simply don't want to understand it.

Fan Jin was deeply moved and fell into deep thought.

Yan Qiuxing was stunned when she heard this.

The words they heard from childhood made them believe that they were 'outsiders' who would eventually get married and leave the family.

Once married, she has no further connection with the family except to help her brothers.

Now, Mother tells them that they are still themselves...

Shui Qing calmed herself down and said earnestly to her five children, "You will grow up, get married, and have children of your own, but no matter what, you must raise your children well!"

Only when children succeed will everyone benefit, from the children themselves to you as parents and the entire family!

Only a large family can thrive, prosper, and have a better life, you know?

Rivers and lakes were the first to react, feeling a surge of excitement.

Fan Hu was young, and his voice still had a childlike quality. He spoke softly but firmly to Yan Qiuxing, saying, "Big sister, second sister, I will study hard in the future, become a very, very powerful official, and support you so that you can live a good life."

Upon hearing that the youngest brother had spoken up first, Fan Jiang and Fan He were not to be outdone and eagerly said, "Eldest sister, second sister, I will also be very capable. I won't be like what Grandma said. I will earn my own money to get married and won't need your dowry money."

"Making money in business is quick, I want to give my eldest and second sisters plenty of money as dowry!" Fan He said boldly, then turned to his father, who was listening quietly, and asked, "Is the dowry my eldest and second sisters' own?"

Fan Jin replied gently, "Yes, the law stipulates that dowry is a woman's private property and is under her own management. Whether it is given to her son or daughter is entirely up to her."

Fan He was relieved and continued, "Then I need to earn more money so that my eldest and second sisters can have a more comfortable life with their generous dowries."

Shuiqing wanted to say that having more money makes life easier, but ultimately, you still need to be able to stand on your own two feet.

Then Xinghui said crisply, "I don't need your money, little brother, I can manage on my own!"

Yan Qiu's voice, usually gentle, now carried a hint of determination: "Mother, I want to learn to read."

Shui Qing was extremely pleased; things were finally changing.
