However, during the meal, everyone's expressions were not good, except for Sun Xiuju, who was all smiles. "Sister-in-law went back to her parents' home this time, but she didn't bring back any good things from home. She should have shown us something new."
“What’s so impressive? We’re from the countryside too. Didn’t we bring back some local specialties?” Ye Xiaoxiao was referring to the vermicelli and chili peppers that were placed to the side.
I was still happy to see this mother-in-law. It was just a token gesture, nothing more.
"Are your parents alright? Is everyone in your family doing well?" Liu Juan was holding her grandson Hao Hao tightly, reluctant to let go. It had been half a month since she had seen the child.
"Yes, everything's fine. Everyone's in good health. My older brother's family had a daughter. Now we don't have to worry about food or drink."
"That's good." Li Jianguo was relieved. His eldest daughter-in-law's trip back to her parents' home was finally over, and the rest was up to them.
"You're back now. Keep a close eye on these boys from now on." Although Li Jianguo also felt that his eldest daughter-in-law had a bad temper, no matter what, her intention to send her children to school was good.
"Okay, I got it. I think Fifth Brother is alright, he's studying quite diligently. Fifth Brother, you also need to keep a close eye on Sixth and Seventh Brothers from now on, and beat them up if they don't listen to you."
The fifth brother is usually like a ghost. But when he heard his sister-in-law praising him, he immediately smiled and promised.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely keep a close eye on them from now on."
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you didn't finish elementary school either. Do you know how to raise children?" Sun Xiuju heard this from her third brother.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately remembered that the original owner of this body had a carefree personality and had joked about only having completed second grade when she first got married. Everyone knew that.
"It's because I never went to school that I wanted to help these younger children learn more characters."
Xiuju, please don't say those discouraging things to discourage the child anymore.
"If your younger brothers are doing well, you'll be doing well too. But if they're not doing well later, you can just stand by and watch."
Ye Xiaoxiao deliberately acted like a green tea bitch; she was just trying to disgust people. Parents would definitely love to hear that.
Sun Xiuju's face fell, and she remained silent. How was she supposed to respond?
What's wrong with this sister-in-law? I heard Li Yanhong say she was straightforward and easy to stir up trouble.
"Yes, yes, they're all brothers. Blood is thicker than water. Xiaoxiao, you'd better keep an eye on these little ones from now on. Give them a beating or a scolding if they need it. It's all up to you."
Li Jianguo had some schooling before, but it wasn't anything special. He didn't know how to teach children.
The old woman was even more confused. She had never been to school and couldn't read.
After returning from her mother-in-law's house, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately checked all four children's homework.
The fifth child was quite good at school back then, but he just never knew how to fight for himself.
He's doing well with elementary school knowledge; if he doesn't understand something, I just explain it to him again. He's fourteen years old now, and he can grasp elementary school concepts very easily.
Li Yanni was already doing well in her studies, so she didn't need much supervision. The sixth child's homework was a different story; he made mistakes on half of it. The seventh child simply didn't do any homework at all.
"Lei Zi, you talk to them from the beginning, teach them a lesson. If they don't listen, give them a slap!"
Ye Xiaoxiao asked Li Chenlei to teach the sixth and seventh children. After the lesson, she told them to write their homework three times, and to start by copying it.
Li Yanni went home as soon as it got dark; she had finished her homework early. The sixth and seventh brothers copied her homework in their room. The elementary school material was just so-so. The main thing was to practice more.
It was past eight o'clock by the time the two finished copying the homework.
"Sister-in-law, I've finished copying mine." Old Seven thought to himself, "My sister-in-law is too fierce. I'm not coming tomorrow."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the characters that Lao Qi had copied, which looked like scribbles.
"That's fine for today. If the writing is still like this tomorrow, we'll write it again."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care about the outcome today; she just wanted to make these two boys suffer enough from the hardships of school.
It would also be a way to avenge the original owner of the body for the sins she suffered.
"Ah, sister-in-law, this is too much! My hands are sore from carrying it all." The seventh brother looked like he was about to cry.
"You know so much, huh? If you know so much, then write your words better. Go look at Yanni's handwriting. Yanni is only in first grade, and you two are already a few years old. Have you no shame?"
"Okay, I understand." The seventh brother said, packing up his notebooks and books, and walked back home crying.
"Remember to come over after you've eaten at home tomorrow, don't make me come over to drag you away."
The seventh brother had originally planned not to come tomorrow, but his sister-in-law reminded him of that. He now felt his sister-in-law was a devil. He ran even faster.
"What if you scare him so much that he never comes again?" Li Chenyang found it amusing.
"If he doesn't come, I'll ride my bike over to find him. I absolutely have to finish my studies. I absolutely have to go to university!"
Ye Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "The million won't get away." Anyway, it's not like she's making him copy things himself. If this brat can't learn, he can just copy to death. It'll give the original owner some satisfaction, and she'll get a reward too. Hehe, how great!
The sixth brother, who was copying new characters, suddenly felt a chill. Hearing his sister-in-law's words, he consciously tried to write the characters better. He thought to himself, "Sister-in-law, please be nicer to me; my handwriting is already quite good."
The sixth child finished his homework at 8:30 and carefully showed it to his sister-in-law.
"This handwriting isn't good enough either. It's the same tomorrow. Write it again."
The sixth brother felt that his writing was much better than the seventh brother's, so why did he say the same thing?
"Where is my writing bad? I write much better than Kai Kai."
"Talk back! Write it again!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's face darkened, and she made Lao Liu write it again. In the end, Lao Liu finished writing it while crying, and it was already 9:30.
