Chapter 409 Da Bao is too difficult to take care of.
After the old lady finished scolding, she finally saw Liang, who was stubbornly refusing to leave.
She really disliked her, but considering that she had been working so hard these past two days back in the village and hadn't even had time to earn money, she didn't send her away for the time being.
She pulled Shuyu over and said happily, "When your fourth aunt and the others come to the county town, our house will be even more lively."
Madam Liang nodded in agreement. "Indeed. But I think my sister-in-law doesn't seem too happy."
The old lady glared at her. "If you feel uneasy about it, then give her the job of sewing the doll covers."
"No way!!" Madam Liang immediately refused. "I'm not worried at all. Our family is in a much worse situation than hers right now. Even though Sanzhu has a job, the pay isn't high. We have to feed our family and pay for housing, which is a huge expense. Especially for the two children, Mother, you said it yourself, we can't let the children suffer, right? Our Dabao and Baoya are still young. If they go hungry, they won't grow tall."
The old lady snorted twice, and then, as if she had just thought of something, asked Liang Shi, "Now that you two have jobs and some spare money, do you want to send Da Bao to school?"
Madam Liang was stunned. "What? Send him to school?"
Shu Yu was also somewhat surprised.
"Yes," the old lady nodded. "I think it's better for people to know a few words. It's not like they necessarily have to take the imperial examinations, but being literate makes a difference. Think about it, like those mountains and rivers, they've gained the favor of the adults. If they were literate, they might have become clerks in the county government. That's a good job; they don't have to work in the sun and the wind, and their status is high. It's just that because they haven't been to school, they can only do menial tasks."
The old lady was actually quite satisfied with Douji; she was just deliberately trying to fool Liang.
The main problem is that Da Bao is too difficult to take care of. I didn't realize it before because there were always other people in the family who could help out. At the very least, Da Hu could play with Da Bao.
But now that Da Hu has gone to school, Bao Ya can hug her toys and follow San Ya around all day, playing with Zhao Cai.
Only Da Bao, at that age when everyone hates him, still can't sit still and runs away without you noticing.
Putting everything else aside, he even ran out of Liufang Lane last night. When they found him, the brat still didn't want to come back. The old lady grabbed a big stick to beat him, and only then did he run home howling like a banshee.
I'm so mentally exhausted.
The old lady had to admire her in-laws. For a long time, the Liang family had been taking care of Da Bao, and it was fortunate that they hadn't abandoned him.
So the old lady thought that it would be good for Da Bao to go to school and temper his temperament.
Her suggestion prompted Liang to start thinking about it.
Actually, her thoughts were exactly the same as the old lady's; she also felt that her son was too unruly. Back in Shangshi Village, it was fine to let him run wild; nothing serious ever happened in the village, and Lu Sanzhu was there to guide him.
It's not working now; we can't control it.
Moreover, she had a rather optimistic plan. Unlike the old lady, she didn't wait for Da Bao to finish his studies and find his own way. After all, there was Yuan Shanchuan and Shu Yu. They could help him get a job in the county government; that wouldn't be out of the question.
So Madam Liang nodded and said very firmly, "Mother, I think you are right. It's time to send him to school to learn to read and write."
