Chapter 31: Reading Books



Wang Dahai made a precise move and came to support his daughter, but ended up becoming a joke. Shi Dazhu taught Shi Haiyan a lesson and forced her to apologize humbly. She probably didn't want to come to Hebian Village anymore.

Wang Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. She had even thought about it last night. As long as her grandfather agreed to let her go to school, she could pay for the tuition herself.

However, it would be better if she didn't have to pay for it herself. She could continue to save the three dollars for emergencies.

"Ahhh... Zhaozhao, that's great." Wang Xiaomei found Wang Zhaozhao, and I happily took her hand and spun around in circles.

Wang Zhaozhao smiled and cooperated reluctantly.

After the show, Xie Ailian definitely would not invite her so-called relatives to have lunch. Those people probably didn't have the face to do so, so they left quite quickly.

The matter is over, but I don’t know when this knot will be resolved.

Wang Dahai's family once again became the topic of discussion in the production team of Hebian Village. People talked about all kinds of things. Few people understood Wang Dahai, but some girls were extremely envious of Wang Zhaozhao.

It just so happened that they were turning over the sweet potato vines these days. They lived in a mountain village, and most of the land and vegetable fields were on the mountain. They went up rows of terraces, and at the top of the mountain, they actually opened up patches of land.

So everyone was working all over the mountains.

It's very lively. In addition to people working together chatting, there are also people chatting on this hill and that hill, or on the hill behind the village and the hill opposite the village.

There is definitely no shortage of gossip about Wang Dahai's family.

No matter what, life must go on. There seems to be a grudge between the adults, and between the children... except that they are all cautious to avoid being scolded by the adults, everything else is fine.

In the blink of an eye, it’s time to go to school.

He went out to turn the sweet potato vines at dawn. When he came back, the sun was high and cold. After breakfast, Wang Dahai packed up and changed his clothes for the first time.

He called Wang Zhaozhao and prepared to go to register.

Wang Haiyan threw things around loudly, and beat Wang Weiguo to tears for some unknown reason, and then started cursing.

It's obviously a veiled attack.

Wang Zhaozhao pursed her lips, feeling a little shaken...

No! It has come to this point. If I give up, I will not only let myself down, but also let her grandfather down.

And if she backed down today, she would not only miss an opportunity to change her destiny through knowledge.

Maybe in a few years, there will be one reason or another that will force her to get married for the bride price.

There is no doubt that with Shi Haiyan's character, she would be able to do such a thing...

"Registration is open today, eldest brother, third brother, what do you think? You are a little older to study literature. When you arrive, if you say something nice, I think the school will accept you. You are no problem to study martial arts and protect the family. Defending the country is the best age."

Wang Dahai directly called Ying Daer and Saner, and after the quarrel a few days ago, he called them and talked about the children's studies.

He's really not biased.

If the eldest and second eldest families did not agree to give money when dividing the family property, even if he wanted to send Wang Zhaozhao to study, he would hesitate again and again, and would discuss it with his wife. In the end, he might ask Wang Zhaozhao to write an IOU to them or the fourth eldest brother and pay it back later.

"What's the good of studying? I don't want to study." Wang Baojia immediately jumped out and said loudly.

"I don't want to study either. I like herding cattle." Wang Xuewu also said.

"Forget it. I'm already thirteen years old. I'm afraid of being embarrassed if I go back to first grade." Wang Xuewen seemed helpless.

Xie Ailian said from the side, "Yes, yes, in two years we should be talking about getting married. It's better to save the money to get married."

Wang Dahai glared at her and asked Wang Weiguo, who remained silent, "Weiguo, what about you?"

"Sister Zhao is studying, so I want to study too." Wang Weiguo, who had been beaten and cried by Shi Haiyan before, said while sniffing.

"What are you thinking? I have no money!"

As soon as Wang Weiguo finished speaking, Shi Haiyan rushed out and slapped him on the back.

"I don't want to! I want to study. I want to study with Sister Zhao..." Wang Weiguo cried loudly.

Shi Haiyan hit him twice more, "Who told you that you are not a girl? Who told your parents not to be cruel and still want you..."

The wrinkles on Wang Dahai's forehead deepened. He called Wang Zhaozhao and turned away.

Wang Zhaozhao followed Wang Dahai silently, and when he reached the door, he couldn't help but say, "Study hard, why do you envy the city people? At least you should study for a year and learn your own name. Big brother, you said you're thirteen and you're afraid of being laughed at if you go to first grade. Aren't you afraid that if you go out and can't even write your own name, people will laugh at you?"

"Who would laugh at me? Who would laugh at me? People in the village can't write, and most of them have to press their fingerprints when they receive their food." Xie Ailian gritted her teeth in anger.

Wang Zhaozhao continued to retort, "Grandma, you said most of them used fingerprints, but some people used signatures. Who were those people? Scorers, team leaders, team leaders, accountants, women's directors... So, do you think they learned to read because they became officials, or did they have the opportunity to become officials because they could read?"

She babble, "If you say you really can't come up with the money, that's fine. But let's not talk about private money. I have twenty dollars from the family division, and there's no rush to build a house. Money is just paper. I'll use it to go to school. You have to learn something. I'm not saying that studying will make you wise, but if you have to go far away one day, you'll know the way."

Seeing that Xie Ailian was about to get angry and rush over to beat her, she quickly ran away.

"Xiaofeng..."

"I am a system, I don't comfort people."

“…”

Wang Zhaozhao rolled his eyes to the sky and chuckled...feeling comforted.

Wang Xiaomei ran over happily, and took Wang Zhaozhao's arm with a smile, "Zhaozhao, let's go sign up together."

"Okay." Wang Zhaozhao suddenly understood when he saw her bright smiling face.

Don’t worry about it. Just read the book if you have it.

There were many people sitting or standing on the dam at the entrance of the village. They seemed to be enjoying the cool air and chatting, but it was obvious that they were deliberately waiting to gossip and laugh at the joke.

"Wow, our village is going to have two female intellectuals." Someone said immediately when they saw them coming.

"Don't say that. People who study like this are different. After this, these two girls really look like students."

"Then don't you think about it? There are several girls in the village. Life will be easier if there are only these two girls."

"We Wang family members are highly conscious. We are certainly not like you Chen family members who don't treat girls as human beings."

"The Wang family is indeed highly conscious and has enough money to send their granddaughter to school."

“…”

Everyone was talking at once, and the topic turned into a quarrel between the two families.

Wang Dahai and Wang Gonglai had no intention of chatting with these people. They just smiled and went on their own way.

Wang Zhaozhao looked at his nose and his heart, and his fists hardened.

She remembered the faces of these people. Sooner or later, she would tear their mouths and slap their faces.

At this time, Chen Changlin came, bringing with him his two sons, a nephew, and a cousin.

"Captain, what are you doing..." someone asked suspiciously.

You don't have to sign up, do you?
