Chapter 57: You and your brother-in-law both want to study?
How heartless! He only remembered his relatives after sending them so many gifts.
Feng Mian poured out the milk tea and gave it to Feng Xiaojing, then said to her: "I came here to tell you something."
Feng Xiaojing took a sip and found the taste really special.
She originally thought it was milk, but after drinking it she smelled the fragrance of tea.
"What is it?"
"Do you still want to study?"
Feng Xiaojing was startled. There was a light in her eyes at first, but after a moment, it dimmed again.
He glanced at Zhao Hui in the distance and whispered, "Why study? My mother is looking for someone to arrange a marriage for me. She wants me to get married."
Feng Mian was startled, "Why does she insist on you getting married so soon?"
"I need to find a wife for my eldest brother. I have no place to live."
Feng Mian was speechless. Zhao Hui had driven Yuan Yu away with this reason three years ago, and she was still using the same reason now.
Their house is not small, and with the side room that was added later, it has four rooms in total.
The old man and the old lady lived in one room, the uncle and aunt lived in one room, the two cousins lived in one room, and when Feng Mian was still alive, the three sisters lived in one room.
If the cousin wants to get married, the two cousins will have to separate, so their current plan is to marry off all their daughters to make room for their son?
Three years ago, my cousin was ten years old, and now he is only thirteen.
However, in an age of early marriage, it is indeed time for him to get married.
"If you just want to make room for your cousin to get married, you can also go to school. I remember that you have very good grades. If you work hard and can get into high school or technical secondary school, you can apply to live on campus."
At that time, it was more difficult to get into a technical secondary school than to get into a key high school. In the past, Feng Xiaojing was the first.
"Study hard and you'll have no problem getting into high school."
"I..." Feng Xiaojing hesitated to speak.
Who doesn’t want to study? She wants to too.
It would be possible if grandfather was the head of the family, but now her mother has almost all the final say in the family. If she doesn't like me, it would be strange for her to agree.
Feng Mian saw that she was hesitant and said, "Just give it a try and try your best."
Looking at her dirty body and rough hands, how can she look like an eighteen-year-old girl?
"Cousin, you said you want to have bad grades, but your grades are so good, are you willing to do that? Are you willing to dig in the dirt for your whole life? If you can study, you can go to the city to work in the future, your hands will no longer have to work with clay, you will be clean, and you can earn a lot of money sitting in an office. Do you want to live like this?"
Who doesn’t want to live this kind of life? Jane dreams of it.
No, ordinary rural women wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
But she dared, she had the opportunity, if she could get the chance to study, she would definitely pass, definitely.
"I...I'll try."
"Well, you can not tell your aunt yet, and do the work of other family members first. The eldest cousin is very good to us, you can start with the eldest cousin."
Feng Xiaojing held the cup and nodded slightly.
"Mianmian, why are you suddenly talking to me about studying?"
Feng Mian said: "Because I decided to study."
"Ah? You're getting married..." She lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Does your brother-in-law agree?"
"Why doesn't he agree? I am the one who has the final say. He has no say in the family."
Feng Xiaojing looked envious.
Feng Mian chuckled, "I'm just kidding, he has to go to school too, I'll go with him."
"What? Your brother-in-law is also planning to go to school?"
"Well, he has already graduated from high school. He will apply for college immediately. If he passes, he will go to college. If he fails, forget it."
Feng Xiaojing was very envious of them. It was great that they didn't have a debt collector mother to look after them.
