Chapter 598 An Unexpected Discovery

When Wu Dani went to see Lu Qiaoge, all she could think about were the questions Lu Qiaoge had just asked.

She didn't know about other things, but one thing she was clear about was that if she insisted on letting Zhaodi keep ducks at home, the villagers' gossip would drown her.

Cao Lao Er, who was standing behind her, suddenly tugged at her arm and whispered, "This is Director Lu. Director Lu is asking you a question. Why aren't you answering? Are you stupid?"

Wu Dani turned around and shoved Cao Lao Er, then glared at him.

She thought for a moment and said to Lu Qiaoge, "Even if I'm uneducated and don't understand reason, I still know a little bit. If I really let my daughter Zhaodi not go to school, I won't be able to stay in this village or even the commune. I will definitely let Zhaodi go to school. I'll let her go tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhaodi's eyes sparkled.

Although she knew she would definitely be able to go to school and sit in a classroom that wasn't spacious or bright, she could learn knowledge. She loved reading and she also loved math.

I like to mentally generate lots and lots of numbers for myself, and then add, subtract, multiply, and divide them.

This is her favorite game.

So many people came today because of her. Without a doubt, she will be able to go back to school.

But her mother nodded in agreement, which relieved Cao Zhaodi.

No rush, take your time.

She will definitely study hard and strive to become better and better so that her two younger sisters can go to school.

She quickly assured Wu Dani, "Mom, even if I go to school, I will still help you with chores."

Lu Qiaoge wasn't surprised by Wu Dani's answer, but she still asked, "You're the main breadwinner in the family now, and you do most of the housework. Just look at your two sisters-in-law's reactions, and you should know that the work of raising ducks will fall on your shoulders in the future. What will you do then?"

Wu Dani clenched her hands tightly together.

Then he turned to look at the yard.

The eldest sister-in-law and her brother's wife are so confident because they gave birth to sons.

Wu Dani shook her head: "I don't know what to do either."

Lu Qiaoge said in surprise, "You two are both very capable, and now you're even encouraging everyone to get involved in aquaculture. Why don't you separate and live separately?"

Wu Dani's eyes lit up.

She desperately wanted to separate from the family.

But those damned old folks wouldn't agree, because how could they bear to let go of two such useful laborers?

Cao Lao Er got anxious: "My family is full of girls, none of them have sons to carry on the family line. If we divide the family property, people will laugh at us. If I don't have a son in the future, I'm counting on my nephew to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die."

Lu Qiaoge wasn't surprised at all.

Because many men and even women think this way now.

She nodded in agreement, her expression quite serious: "It's fine if you think that way."

Cao Zhaodi suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Lu Qiaoge.

Dad is wrong to say that.

Great people say that women hold up half the sky, but many people don't take girls seriously.

She thought Director Lu was different.

Then the little girl's expression suddenly became firm.

No, that won't happen!

Factory Director Lu certainly wouldn't share the same thoughts as her parents.

With the support he received, Cao Lao Er seemed to suddenly feel more confident. Wu Dani on the other end wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back.

However, Lu Qiaoge didn't give them a chance to speak. She paused for a moment and continued, "But you are all young. Taking care of your parents in their old age and seeing them off in their final days is something for decades to come. So, how will you live in these decades?"

Cao Lao Er looked somewhat uneasy, and Wu Dani clenched her hands tightly.

Wu Dani couldn't help but look at the Cao family members in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, there was a commotion in the courtyard.

President Yu was so angry he was jumping up and down. The captain and his secretary were still on the phone and hadn't returned yet.

The fiery wife of the eldest son of the Cao family was already preparing to roll on the ground in a rage.

Then Cao Laosan's wife was not to be outdone.

She was holding her three-year-old son, crying and shouting that she wanted to jump into the river.

Old Cao, who had initially felt that he had the family under his control, suddenly felt his head buzzing and his vision blurring.

It looked like it was about to collapse to the ground at any moment.

Mrs. Cao was heartbroken when her eldest grandson was pulled aside.

She usually doted on her eldest grandson the most, but she never expected that all she did was grab a handful of her daughter-in-law's hair, and as a result, her eldest grandson sided with his mother instead of her.

You should know that ever since our eldest grandson was born, all the eggs in the house have been for him.

How many eggs did he eat?

She couldn't bear to eat a single bite, and this is how it turned out.

And these two daughters-in-law don't do much housework, and she doesn't care. She feels that she treats these two daughters-in-law a million times better than she treats her second son's daughter-in-law.

But these two people didn't consider the Cao family at all.

They've completely disgraced the Cao family.

The important thing is that the commune leader's face turned ashen.

She thought she could control her daughter-in-law on ordinary days, but she found that when things really happened, she couldn't control her at all.

Old Mrs. Cao's eyes were filled with resentment and malice, and she had no time to hate Cao Zhaodi, the descendant who had caused the trouble.

She now wishes she could strangle her two daughters-in-law.

President Yu on the other end fell silent.

Things calmed down.

This is something he simply cannot persuade others about.

So let the security team and the police station handle it.

He spoke quietly to the factory manager of the down jacket factory, who was very understanding and took several steps back. After all, the Cao family's affairs were family matters, so let them fight it out and stop when they were done.

Some people are just shameless; the more you try to stop them, the more they get into it.

Lao Xie naturally stood with Lu Qiaoge.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such a lively scene.

His face remained calm, but he was watching with great interest.

Lu Qiaoge didn't intend to continue.

Because the old principal clearly had something to say to her.

Lu Qiaoge patted the little girl's head reassuringly and asked the old principal in a gentle voice, "Is there something you need?"

The former principal hadn't expected Lu Qiaoge to be so polite.

He hurriedly said, "I want to tell you about Cao Zhaodi. Although she was born in the countryside, she is very smart and has a very strong ability to calculate. To be honest, it was a real waste for her to study at Qinggang Village Primary School."

The old principal then pulled over the somewhat bewildered Cao Zhaodi: "Show Director Lu your ability, the one you usually use when playing games. I'll give you the numbers, and you calculate them. Let's start with addition: 156783939 plus 934873669..."

Cao Zhaodi immediately understood.

He nodded vigorously, very happy.

Lu Qiaoge didn't know why the old principal did this, but she still patiently looked at the old man and the young man in front of her.

The debate over there was still unresolved, but Lu Qiaoge, seeing Cao Zhaodi give the answer without hesitation, knew that she had encountered a child with exceptional mental arithmetic skills.

Although he is only ten years old, he is already old enough to join the mental arithmetic unit.
