Father Song raised his hand to interrupt him and smiled knowingly.
"You probably want to talk about Xiao Lei's schooling, right?"
Song Wen paused and nodded slowly.
These days, the family was doing business, and most of the money was used to buy food for the family, but money was also distributed to everyone in the family, and he saved it all for his wife.
Although it’s not much, it’s enough for Xiao Lei to go to school.
Father Song continued, "I've thought about Xiaolei a long time ago. He's eight years old this year, and it's time for him to go to school next year. Our children should go to school. When we were struggling, we were able to save money to support the four of you. Now, we can naturally support Xiaolei as well."
Song's mother also agreed: "That's right. Only by studying can you have a bright future. At worst, we can save on food and sell the surplus grain in the spring to make more money."
Wu Lei's heart was pounding and he secretly glanced at the adults in the room.
Going to school costs money and children cannot help with housework, so many families in the village do not send their children to school.
Will they...really let him go to school?
"Mom, I actually saved some money, so Xiaolei doesn't need to pay for school." Song Wen said. ..
Song's mother interrupted immediately: "No, our children have to pay for their education, and the same applies to other people's children who get married in the future. If anyone feels that this is unfair..."
Mother Song glanced at Song Cai and Song Wu.
Song Cai immediately smiled and said, "Mom, don't look at me. I definitely don't have any objection to this kind of thing. I'm so happy. Besides, my eldest brother earns a lot of work points every year, and he never despises us. Right, second brother?"
Song Wen nudged Song Wu with his elbow, and Song Wu looked up blankly.
Seeing his parents looking at him, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
He usually follows instructions, why do you suddenly ask him to answer questions...
Song Cai reminded him: "Mom wants to ask you, what do you think about Xiao Lei going to school?"
Song Wu nodded vigorously: "Very good, Xiao Lei's academic performance is definitely better than mine, hehehe."
Song’s mother: …Originally, she was afraid that her child would grow up and become suspicious of other’s interests, so she wanted to teach him a lesson.
Now it seems that she was thinking too much...
Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Song Ruan spoke quietly, "Then next year, Xiao Lei will go to school in town with my second brother and me."
Xiao Lei is a very smart child, but he has been exposed to too many dark things since he was young. Going to school and interacting with more sunny children of the same age will have a very positive influence on him.
Besides, the kids in town wouldn't say anything about his identity.
"But there is one thing, don't skimp on food at home. I've also stockpiled food, quite a lot, so don't worry about food."
At this time, no one had any idea about the large amount of food she was talking about.
Song's father made the final decision: "Okay, then let Xiao Lei go to school in town next year."
Wu Xing, who was standing by, touched Wu Lei's soft hair and suddenly felt her eyes sore.
Wu Lei suddenly stood up, surprising everyone.
He paused, and like a little adult, his face was serious and his voice was clear: "I will study hard and make money to provide for your old age."
He remembered that every time his stepbrother said he would take care of his father in his old age, his father would be very happy, which shows that adults like to take care of the elderly.
What he didn't expect was that everyone actually frowned and couldn't help laughing.
“Puchi——hahaha——”
"Thank you, Xiaolei. Brother Song Wu's retirement will depend on you from now on~"
Under the shadow of the natural disaster, the Song family discussed their views together and made orderly plans for the future in a warm atmosphere.
But not all families can have this atmosphere.
Song Jin can come back one day a week, and tonight is the day he comes back.
"This lazy woman, she refused to work and even ran away secretly!"
Liu Cuihua pointed at Zhang Caihong and complained to Song Jin.
"Is that a normal job? There are locusts everywhere and you asked me to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. Why should I go?"
"Listen, listen. This lazy woman is right. She is so lazy and stupid. She even made a bet with Song Ruan in front of the village chief. She lost a hundred yuan, and the village chief said that it would be deducted from our work points!"
Mentioning the hundred dollars was like another prick of Liu Cuihua's heart.
Liu Cuihua slapped her thigh and sang: "Oh my goodness! Is this going to make me live? I am so miserable to marry a granddaughter-in-law like this!"
Zhang Caihong snorted coldly: "Bah, I am so miserable to be your granddaughter-in-law!"
"How dare you talk back! I will beat you to death, you hen that doesn't lay eggs!"
Liu Cuihua was almost mad at Zhang Caihong's behavior. She stood up and was about to teach her a lesson, but Song Jin quickly stopped her.
Zhang Caihong was also angry: "Come on, come and hit me! You old woman, who said you don't lay eggs?"
Song Jin frowned and shouted, "Zhang Caihong! How can you talk to me like that?"
Zhang Caihong's eyes immediately turned red: "Song Jin, you bastard! How dare you be mean to me?! She was the one who scolded me for not laying eggs first, why can't I scold her back? Just because she is older than me, should I give in to her?"
With the support of her grandson, Liu Cuihua became more motivated.
"Am I wrong? You just don't lay eggs. Song Wen's wife married you and is pregnant, but what about you? Not even a fart!"
Zhang Caihong felt wronged: "What does Wu Xing's pregnancy have to do with me? Besides, she got pregnant right after the natural disaster. Maybe this is a disaster!"
Having said this, she glanced at Song Jin angrily again.
"Besides, how can I have a baby by myself? Huh? Why don't you ask your grandson? He only comes back once a week and always says he's tired and doesn't want to be with me..."
“That’s enough!”
