However, this is ultimately a family matter, and no matter how helpless she felt, she couldn't interfere. Moreover, she had a sensitive identity as a sister-in-law, so she couldn't say anything more!
"Who said studying is useless?" Lin Xue said angrily, as she was a victim of this idea.
When they arrived in the capital, they realized that what a load of nonsense it was, just an excuse that adults came up with to prevent girls from studying.
Look at the educated girls around her, which one is worse than her?
The presence of Song Fang and Song Lili right here is enough to illustrate the point.
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of children, Lin Xue insists that they must study. Fortunately, Zhang Qingguo has always held the same view, so the couple has never had any disagreements.
Hearing such words now, I'm naturally angry.
The suffering of being uneducated is something only those who have experienced it can understand; how can others possibly comprehend it?
"Sigh, this is their family matter. Even if we can't stand it, there's nothing we can do." The third person here shared the same thought.
But what's the use? Other people's parents won't let them go to school, and you haven't done anything about it. You can only watch.
"Sigh, what a pity for such a child." Lin Xue knew that Song Lili was telling the truth, but she still felt sad.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys should think carefully about how to do it faster."
There's no point in saying too much, so Song Lili decisively changed the subject. If it's useless, there's no need to say anything more, otherwise it will only affect her mood.
Soon, everyone in the family returned: Daqing and his wife, Wang Daming, and Chu Ci all came, along with the children.
Suddenly, the courtyard erupted in noise, especially from a few children who were so close together they could practically lift the roof off.
"Xiao Chen, watch over your younger siblings and make sure they don't fall or get hurt, okay?" Song Lili instructed Xiao Chen.
He is the oldest here, and Song Lili trusts him completely.
"I understand, I'll keep an eye on them." Xiao Chen nodded, looking at her younger siblings of varying ages, feeling a bit of a headache.
He held his younger sister, Xinyi, in his arms and watched them play, as long as they didn't fight or sneak out. Xiao Chen didn't care; they could play however they wanted.
A little while later, Xiao Chen's gaze fell on Fang Xiaotao, whose face was so wrinkled it looked like it was about to trap a fly.
If he remembered correctly, this should be his cousin, but why is this cousin so annoying?
She actually snatched her younger sisters' hair ties and her younger brothers' food. Does she even act like a proper older sister?
Seeing that someone was about to cry, Xiao Chen quickly went over and picked them up, saying, "Okay, I'll give you something even better later."
After calming the child down and letting him continue playing, Xiao Chen turned away coldly, not even glancing at Fang Xiaotao, and told Xiao Zhe to come and join them.
"Brother, I don't like this cousin." Xiao Zhe looked at Fang Xiaotao and whispered to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen glanced at him and said, "Whether you like her or not is irrelevant. She's a relative, so no matter what, you have to save face."
This is what Xiao Chen has gleaned from what Song Lili has said over the past few years.
He was afraid that Xiao Zhe would be unhappy and would have a tantrum on the spot, so he told her, "If you don't like her, just don't play with her. She'll leave in a few days."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Zhe nodded; he would listen to his older brother.
The two attended the same school, and the older brother took good care of him, so Xiao Zhe naturally became close to Xiao Chen.
The two brothers watched their younger siblings play, finding it childish, but Xiao Hui was having a great time.
It's been a long time since so many friends have come to my house.
"Children, wash your hands and eat." It wasn't until Song Lili called out that they got up and rushed over.
Zhang Qinghua, Xiao Chen, and Xiao Zhe led the children to wash their hands, while Song Lili and the others served dishes and took out bowls and chopsticks.
Zhang Shengtian and Song Yongren sat there watching the children busy themselves, feeling quite pleased with themselves.
Amidst the peaceful atmosphere, there were also discordant elements. For example, Fang Yaoqing remained seated without moving, while Zhang Aiai simply stood up, like a pillar.
Song Lili and the others ignored it. After all the dishes were served and the wine was put on the table, Zhang Shengtian, as the host and patriarch, said with a smile, "Eat up, Lili has cooked a good meal tonight. You're in for a treat."
Hearing Zhang Shengtian's words, Wang Daming immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, you're right. Lili's cooking is the best. I don't want to leave and I'll stay here forever."
These words pleased not only Zhang Shengtian but also Song Yongren, who both laughed out loud, saying, "You just love to eat."
"Eat more if it tastes good."
The children waited for their elders to start eating before they ate. Song Lili and the others didn't touch their food either. Fang Xiaotao picked up her chopsticks, about to grab some meat, when Xiao Hui grabbed her and said, "You can't eat that."
In short, different people have different expressions.
Song Lili, Zhang Qinghua, Zhang Shengtian, and even Zhang Qingguo and his wife didn't find it strange; that's how things are at home.
Wang Daming and the others also looked at Xiao Hui. At first, they probably didn't realize what was happening, but later they guessed what it meant.
The only ones with bad complexions were Zhang Aiai and her husband, especially Zhang Aiai, whose complexion was even blacker than ink.
Zhang Aiai gritted her teeth in anger. It was one thing for her older brother and uncle to make her unhappy, after all, they had watched her grow up and she couldn't do anything about it. But why did this little brat have the right to give her attitude?
Fang Yaoqing's expression was also not good, but she thought differently from Zhang Aiai. She felt that it was probably because her brother-in-law was dissatisfied with their family and had the child make a fuss to express it.
Fang Xiaotao was the only one who was confused. She wanted to shake off Xiaohui's hand, but before she could do so, she saw Zhang Qinghua and immediately stopped.
She asked in a very unpleasant tone, "Why?" She hadn't done anything wrong, so why wouldn't she be allowed to eat?
"Grandpa hasn't eaten yet, you can't eat." This is what his parents taught him, so he thinks everyone should do the same.
In short, it makes those who understand smile, thinking that the child is very sensible and well-educated.
Those who don't understand, even if they hate it in their hearts, can only endure it.
Because the person the child was talking about was an elder, they couldn't explain what was wrong with it.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat first, and then Xiaohui can eat, alright?" Zhang Shengtian said with a smile, in a great mood.
His grandson's behavior made him happy; the child was very good.
It's already quite remarkable that this child, who loves to eat so much, can endure it and wait for his elder to eat first.
Zhang Shengtian picked up some food, and only then did the others start eating. Xiao Hui couldn't wait to find what she wanted to eat.
Song Yongren watched from the side, feeling very happy and gratified that his child was being educated very well.
Then I went to see Song Fang's child, and he was just as good.
The children were holding their chopsticks in their hands just now, and they weren't in a hurry, so I knew that was the reason.
