"Xiaoxiao, both of them...have missed a whole semester. Will they be able to keep up if they go back to school?"
Li Jianguo thought, "If I don't want to go, I don't have to. Going to school isn't that important anyway."
There are plenty of people who don't go to school. My eldest child in the family went to junior high school, and that was about it.
"Dad, the children must go to school. They won't understand reason if they don't go to school. The fifth one is fourteen now, which is a bit too old. The sixth and seventh ones are still too young."
Furthermore, the country will only get better and better in the future, and even if you just go to any university, you'll still have a bright future.
If you don't go to school, you'll spend your whole life farming and raising pigs in the village. But if you graduate from university, there are so many more options you can pursue.
Be an engineer, a teacher, a leader.
You think you can make a fortune just by writing and drawing with a pen and notebook all day? Do you want to work yourselves to death in the village?
I still want to make big money in the city.
"I want to make a lot of money!"
The sixth brother shouted with a determined look in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, I want to make a lot of money, I want to marry a city girl, and I want to buy a house in the city."
That sixth brother is a wolf in sheep's clothing; he'd even cheat his own older brother for money. Although Ye Xiaoxiao doesn't like him...
However, the system is also right. If he can go to university and become capable, he will definitely look down on his older brother.
If anyone's going to be cheated, it'll be someone else. Hehe, better to die for a friend than for myself. Maybe this kid'll learn a thing or two and develop a conscience later on.
"Yes, seventh brother, if you want to make big money, you have to study hard. After the New Year, you will continue your studies. If you didn't study well before, even if you have to repeat a grade, you must lay a solid foundation."
"Should I go too? I..." The seventh child was a little reluctant. He just played around every day at school and got scolded by the teacher every day.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on. I'll definitely make sure you get into junior high school. Now you just need to settle down."
You absolutely must go to school. Otherwise, what do you plan to do in the future?
"When the sixth brother goes to live in the city and drives a car back home, what about you? You lazy bum, will you be begging your sixth brother for money?"
Ye Xiaoxiao thought back to what was written in the original book: the seventh brother later got married, loved to beat his wife, had two sons, and didn't care about anything. If it weren't for his wife...
The two boys couldn't even find wives, and after they did, this scoundrel was utterly clueless.
All he ever wanted was to hold his grandson. He'd knock on his daughter-in-law's door before dawn, demanding to hold the baby. This infuriated his daughter-in-law so much that she almost divorced him.
Li Yanni held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand: "Sister-in-law, what about me? What about me?"
"You," Ye Xiaoxiao patted her head, "I'll make you a bright red dress, something pretty nice."
[Ding! Grandma accepted the stove, quest progress +30%, reward 300 yuan]
[Wow, really? This reward is so generous! System, I love you to death!]
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled broadly after hearing about the reward mentioned by the system.
Seeing how much her daughter-in-law cared for her children, Liu Juan became more accepting of Ye Xiaoxiao's extravagant purchase of the stove.
When the father-in-law saw that his daughter-in-law's smile was genuine and he felt no pity for her, he gave her a perfect score in his heart.
This daughter-in-law isn't entirely without merit. Although she has a bit of a temper, she's truly devoted to her family.
After Lao Liu had his measurements taken, he happily went out and started showing off. He was telling his friends that his sister-in-law was going to make corduroy new clothes for the whole family for the New Year when Wang Ailing overheard him.
Wang Ailing, always eager to join in the fun, immediately forgot the sarcastic remark Liu Juan had made earlier.
They arrived at the Li family's door in no time. Upon entering the house, they saw Ye Xiaoxiao measuring Lao Qi with a ruler.
"Wow, your family really knows how to enjoy life! The whole family is wearing corduroy."
Although Wang Ailing spoke with a smile, she was secretly heartbroken.
His daughter only bought clothes for herself and her husband, not for the whole family. How could this rural woman...
Ye Xiaoxiao actually had the ability to make corduroy clothes for the whole family.
Adding their little one, that makes ten people.
"Where did Xiaoxiao get so rich? She has a 150-ton iron stove and her whole family is wearing corduroy clothes."
Even city dwellers wouldn't dare live like that.
Wang Ailing felt a pang of envy seeing the Li family so happy.
"Well, there's nothing I can do. I'm lucky. My family treats me well, and so does my husband's family, so I'm happy to make clothes for them."
Aunt Wang, your Daqing is 20 now, right? Hurry up and find a daughter-in-law; she'll definitely treat you well in the future.
Ye Xiaoxiao remembered that after Wang Ailing's daughter-in-law was married into the family,
The elderly couple often caused trouble for their daughter-in-law, but their son and daughter-in-law were of one mind, making the family situation very unpleasant.
They're using their position as in-laws to bully their son and daughter-in-law, forcing them to move into the backyard.
After they got old, their son and daughter-in-law took over the household, and the tables turned, eventually driving them to the backyard.
When Li Chenyang arrived from Sun Hongjun's house, he found it quite lively. He had no idea about the strange and sarcastic remarks of these people.
"What's the good news? Why is it so lively?" Li Chenyang rarely saw his wife smiling in front of his parents.
"Perfect timing, you're here. Let me take your measurements too."
After Ye Xiaoxiao had made a note for Yanni, she pulled Li Chenyang over as well.
"Big brother, sister-in-law is making corduroy New Year's clothes for the whole family," Li Yanni said happily to her older brother.
"Oh, is that so?"
Li Chenyang's heart skipped a beat. This spendthrift wife of his! The whole family needs new clothes; how much money will that cost?
Where did all that money come from? But thinking this to himself, and seeing that there were outsiders present, Li Chenyang couldn't say anything. He could only force a smile.
