Although Liu was an extremely difficult person, she was impeccable in her treatment of Wan Quan and her three daughters.

Moreover, Liu was actually quite intelligent and had foresight, knowing the importance of studying.

Moreover, spending ten coins a day to receive instruction at the level of Meng Wenyuan is truly a very worthwhile deal.

You should know that even if you randomly find an old scholar to enlighten you nowadays, it will cost at least several taels of silver.

Although Liu was unaware that Meng Wenyuan was the son of the headmaster of Dongcheng Academy, she clearly knew that education was expensive, and she was about to get a great deal.

"Little sister, do you think this is feasible?"

Liu looked at Wan Shu with great anxiety, fearing that she might reject her because of their previous conflict.

But Wan Shu wasn't a petty person. She smiled and said generously, "Of course, Baozhu can attend classes with Er Ya and Siya as long as it doesn't interfere with her work."

After saying that, she turned to look at Zhou Shi: "Where's my sister-in-law? Would you like Shuanzi and the others to study with them too?"

"Huh? Little sister, you're asking me?" Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head without hesitation: "Let's forget it. Shuanzi and the others are destined to farm all their lives, why bother with that?"

Wan Shu wants to say that fate can be changed, especially in this day and age, and reading is the quickest way to change one's destiny.

However, since Shuanzi and the others are not her children, this is all the advice she can offer. Whether or not it is adopted ultimately depends on Zhou Shi and Wanfu; she does not intend to interfere.

So when she saw that Zhou's expression was firm and Wanfu did not deny it, she said nothing more and left the Wan family.

Upon seeing Wan Shu leave, Wan Quan could no longer restrain himself and pulled Liu Shi into the second wife's room to whisper among themselves.

Wan Quan: "Are you crazy? Baozhu is just a maid. She can't be an official, and she doesn't have the ability to do business. Why spend so much money to send her to school?"

Liu glared at Wan Quan without any politeness: "What do you know! Whether you can become an official or run a business or not, reading more books will definitely be beneficial!"

Wan Quan: "What are the benefits?"

Liu replied matter-of-factly, "I don't know."

Wan Quan almost fainted: "You don't even know that? Then how do you know that reading is beneficial?"

"Hmph, that's easy, of course we'll look to our little sister!" Liu said. "Our little sister is such a capable person. Since she insists on spending money to send Er Ya and Si Ya to school, it proves that studying must be beneficial. There's no harm in learning from her."

Upon reflection, Wan Quan realized that this was indeed the case.

Ever since she was hit on the head, her younger sister seemed to have suddenly become very clever. Not only did she discover that potatoes could be eaten and solve everyone's hunger, but she also became very successful in business, even more capable than men.

But Wan Quan still felt uneasy about the fact that not only had they lost so much money, but they also had to use their private savings to confiscate the money.

"Sigh, so much money, how could it just disappear like that? You spendthrift woman..."

Liu's eyebrows shot up: "How am I being wasteful? I think you clearly dislike me for having three daughters and don't want to spend this money on them. I'm so unlucky, how did I end up marrying such a heartless man like you, sob sob sob..."

Seeing that Liu was about to make a scene again by sobbing about her three daughters, Wan Quan's brow twitched, and he quickly fell silent, no longer daring to complain.

In fact, at the beginning, he did resent Liu for not giving him a son.

However, Liu was a woman of strong temper. When she was young, she wanted to divorce him and take her three daughters with her after hearing him complain once. She also said that she wanted her daughters to never see him again.

Wan Quan was startled by her display of force and could only apologize and shut up, then quietly settled down to live a quiet life with his three daughters.

Now that his daughter has grown up, she is becoming more and more well-behaved and sensible every day, especially Baozhu. In his eyes, Baozhu is no less capable than any boy, so he has gradually come to terms with it.

Perhaps it was destined by heaven that he would never have a son in his life, but having three daughters was already very good.

On the other side, Wanfu was also whispering to Zhou.

Wanfu said, "You said that my younger sister and sister-in-law really want their children to go to school. Why don't we spend some money and let Gangzi, Shuanzi, and Tiezi get some early education? They are all boys, so it's never a bad thing for them to get more education."

Zhou was well aware that reading more books could never be a bad thing, but...

"This isn't just about spending a little money. If each child loses ten coins a day, three children would lose thirty coins, and a month that would be nine hundred coins!"

“Gangzi is getting older now, and it’s time for him to find a wife like Dazhu. Getting married will cost a lot of money. If we don’t save up some money now, how can we find Gangzi a good wife?”

"In the end, isn't life all about getting married and having children? What do you get in return for spending so much money on education? You might as well use that money to marry a good wife!"

Like Wan Quan, Wan Fu listened to his wife's words and felt that they made sense, so he didn't mention studying again.

Wan Shu was unaware of the whispered conversation between the eldest and second wives of the Wan family.

If you want to read, you need to buy writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Wan Shu planned to go to the county town with Da Zhu to buy school supplies early tomorrow morning, so she planned to go to bed early after dinner.

But just as she finished washing up and was about to go into her room, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside the courtyard.

"Knock knock knock—"

"You rich wife, are you asleep yet?"

Wan Shu recognized Zhao Da Niang's voice and frowned slightly. He originally didn't intend to pay attention, but Zhao Da Niang's knocking on the door grew louder and louder.

"Knock knock knock!!! Open the door right now, I have something extremely important to tell you!!"

The noise was so loud that it woke up even the pigs in the pen, who started grunting and wandering around.

The chicken also made clucking sounds.

In order to get a good night's sleep, Wan Shu had no choice but to open the door.

She didn't give Aunt Zhao a friendly look, and asked coldly, "What's the matter so late at night?"

Normally, Aunt Zhao would have been furious at such a disrespectful look, but today she was excited to see Wan Shu make a fool of herself, so she didn't care about such details. Her eyes lit up and she spoke excitedly.

"You rich wife, you don't know, do you? Su Fan is going to marry into the wealthy Zhong family!"

Wan Shu: "..." She thought it was something big, and this is all?

Aunt Zhao's smile was far too delayed, and trying to provoke her with this kind of news was incredibly naive.

She was no longer the Wan Shu who cared about Su Fan.

Wan Shu chuckled lightly, intending to send Aunt Zhao away, but then heard Aunt Zhao continue.

"You have no idea how much Su Fan likes Miss Zhong. In order to please her, he even changed his name to Zhong Zifan."

Zhong Zifan...

The moment Wan Shu heard the name, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and only one thought occupied her mind.

Holy crap, she was actually a transmigrator from a book! ? ?
