Chapter 418 Don't waste money

"No, we're going to play football," Chen Dabao said honestly.

Chen Erbao inwardly groaned – why did his brother tell the truth?!

Sure enough, the smile on Zhou Zhaodi's face vanished instantly.

She said that Erbao, that little rascal, how could he suddenly become so fond of going to school on the very first day? Turns out he just wanted to play!

So she immediately reached out and pinched his ear, scolding, "Did I send you to school so you could play? I sent you so you could study hard! What did you learn this morning? Let me hear it!"

Chen Erbao shouted excitedly, "I've learned pinyin, and I can count too!"

My darling made such a grand entrance today; he remembers it all clearly.

Seeing that he still remembered what he had learned in the morning, Zhou Zhaodi figured he wasn't doing too badly, so she let him off the hook: "Okay, let's eat!"

Chen Erbao breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped a disaster. He was so grateful to his little sister, Guai Bao!

Meanwhile, Sanni was happily telling her grandparents about her day at school: "Grandpa, Grandma, our little darling was praised by the teacher in class today. She can recognize words faster than anyone else, and she can count from one to one hundred. No one in the class can do that."

As she spoke, a hint of shame flashed across her face. Her darling was so amazing, while she, as the older sister, was rather inadequate, barely remembering a few things.

But then I thought, my darling is a fairy from heaven, she must be smart and capable, it's normal that she can't compare!

Ma Xiulian was very proud and happy to hear this, and secretly slipped a few pieces of meat to Sanni: "You are the older sister, so you should take good care of Guabao at school."

Chen Dazhu was filled with pride and joy upon hearing this; his darling had truly brought honor to the Chen family!

“Yes, I will definitely take good care of my baby!” Sanni nodded emphatically.

Even if Grandma didn't say anything, she would still take good care of her younger sister.

After silently finishing her meat, Sanni rinsed her mouth with water in the yard before going to her parents' room to eat.

As soon as he entered the house, his smile vanished, and he sat down quietly on the stool to eat.

Li Chunhua now finds fault with everything about her; she studies but doesn't work, she just freeloads!

Moreover, as soon as she runs back, she goes to her in-laws' room. All she does all day is fawn over the old couple, but she never eats with them. She always comes back to eat!

But she held back and didn't lash out. It wasn't the right time yet. She'd wait a while and see how she dealt with this money-loser!

After lunch, the girls quickly helped with chores around the house, while the boys took a nap in the house. An hour later, they went to school together.

The adults of the Chen family also went to work in the fields. As Ma Xiulian walked, she said to the other families, "It just so happens that the work in the fields is not busy at the moment. The fourth son is planning to build a new house. The eldest son and you brothers will all go to help starting tomorrow. The wives can come back after work to help cook a meal."

The brothers looked somewhat surprised. This was all too sudden. They had only recently separated from the family, so why were they moving out?

Chen Jianguo frowned and said, "Mom, it's not like we can't fit everyone in the house. You should persuade Lao Si not to waste money like this. We'll have plenty of other expenses in the future!"

He was afraid that if his fourth son spent all the money, there would be no dowry left when he got married.

Ma Xiulian said calmly, "Yesterday the army sent a letter saying they would arrange for Lao Si to work in the radio factory. He will receive a salary every month, so there's no need to worry about money."

The fourth brother will be starting work at the factory in a couple of days, and the eldest brothers will find out sooner or later anyway, so it's better to say it now.
