Chapter 193 The Vicious Female Supporting Character Is Even More Vicious 10
Father Su did not join in their conversation, but his hand holding the pipe remained motionless, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
The last time he returned the banknotes, he felt very sad. How much wine could he buy with so much money?
Su Li knew they would ask, so he had already prepared a draft in mind.
Su Li briefly recounted the story he had made up, and everyone praised him!
My daughter (sister, sister-in-law, aunt) is indeed knowledgeable and even knows about ginseng. If it were them, they would have missed it!
The eyes of Liu's sisters-in-law were shining as they looked at Su Li, and their attitudes became even more enthusiastic.
Su's mother and father were very happy. This ginseng was dug by Nannan herself. It was different from the silver note last time. They could keep this ginseng without worry.
That night, all the adults in the Su family slept soundly.
After discussion, Su Qinghe and Yue Zilan decided to sell one of the two ginsengs and keep the other for Su Li as a dowry in the future.
This decision was unanimously approved by the five brothers, and the sisters-in-law had no objections.
However, the person involved, Su Li, disagreed. She went to the mountains to dig ginseng just to improve her family's life.
Now I leave her one, when will her bathroom be built?
Su Li was determined to sell the two ginsengs.
Su's mother was pleased that her precious daughter had grown up, but she also blamed herself for being incompetent, which was why her daughter was so sensible.
The next day at dinner, Su's mother told the story at the table.
After saying this, he quietly observed everyone's reactions.
Everyone felt relieved to hear that Su Li was so sensible!
Especially the sisters-in-law of the Liu, Fang, Zhao, Liang, and Jiang families.
Everyone is selfish. They have their own children. Their husbands pamper their sister-in-law every day. In the men's hearts, their own sons have to take a back seat. They sometimes feel uncomfortable.
Now that the sister-in-law has dug up such a valuable thing as ginseng, she did not hide it at all and gave it out generously. It can be seen that the sister-in-law has a kind heart and treats her sisters-in-law as her own family.
Otherwise, it is not impossible for the sister-in-law to privately tell her parents-in-law that given the old couple's love for her, they will keep all the money for her to take away as a dowry in the future.
The children in their families have grown up, and they are either getting married or arranging marriages, which requires money.
Now that the family has a large income, the children feel more confident when talking about marriage.
The five sisters-in-law secretly made up their minds that they must be extra nice to their sister-in-law in the future!
The five brothers Su Zhao, Su Yang, Su Yan, Su Mo and Su Yun were so moved that they burst into tears.
My sister feels sorry for them!
She is worthy of being the little cotton-padded jacket of the Su family. She is so sensible and caring!
They were too incompetent as the brothers and had used up all of their sister's dowry. In a few days, they would go to the city to do odd jobs and earn money to buy their sister two new sets of clothes.
Su's mother was very satisfied with the reaction of her son and daughter-in-law.
Then he looked at his grandchildren and said, "Look at how much your aunt loves you! No matter how much your grandfather and I try to persuade her, she's determined to sell the ginseng to fund the expansion of our house."
"Your aunt is worried about you brothers living in such a crowded place, so she asked us to sell both ginsengs so that we can have more money and build a few more houses so that you can live in a more spacious place."
"Your aunt said that you are all growing up, so she asked me to buy you some delicious food after I sell the ginseng so that the whole family can have some good nourishment..."
Su's mother talked a lot and led everyone in the room to imagine the future together!
Everyone looked excited as they listened, as if they had already lived in a big house and had meat for every meal.
Su's mother is worthy of being the head of the family. Her words not only made everyone feel comfortable, but also deeply moved.
The nephews were even more excited and promised that they would treat their aunt better in the future!
There were even two voices shouting passionately that they would take care of their aunt in her old age and see her to the end of her life.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into complete silence.
Before anyone could hear which two children were shouting, they were slapped twice by their respective mothers, exposing themselves.
Su Changlin and Su Changzheng covered the places where they were beaten and looked at their mothers with tears in their eyes.
Don’t know where I went wrong?
They are so filial, shouldn’t they be praised?
Su Li: ...I may not live long in this world!!
The two little ones felt very aggrieved and were about to complain to their grandparents, but they received death stares from their grandparents and their biological father.
Oh my god, what did they do wrong?
I'm going to piss myself, okay?
If Su Li hadn't stepped in to stop them in time, both of them would have been in big trouble.
Because the words of his nephews were really hurtful, after the ginseng was sold, Su Li suggested sending them to a private school to learn a few words.
Mr. and Mrs. Su thought their daughter was joking, as there were eleven grandchildren in the family!
If all of them were sent to a private school, the tuition fee would be two taels per year, and they would also have to give festival gifts to the teacher, plus paper, ink, brushes and inkstones. In total, each person would have to spend about five taels per year.
Even if the two older ones are not sent away, there are still nine of these eleven, which means forty-five taels of silver a year.
Such a large sum of money is too much for the whole family to afford even if they work themselves to death.
Su Li spent several days explaining all the benefits.
Finally, when the house was expanded, the two family heads were convinced.
However, it was too expensive to send all of them to a private school, so Su's father decided to hire a student to teach the children.
In this way, not only can Su Changqing and Su Changchun learn to read, but the children aged five to seven also don't have to run so far.
More importantly, save money!
save money!
money!
After dinner that day, Su's father announced that a teacher would come to the house the next day, and the children would all learn to read and write under the teacher.
The teacher is only hired for one year. If anyone studies well and has talent, he will be sent to a private school in the town to continue his studies.
Those who were not good at studying had to work in the fields.
Everyone in the family except Su Li, Su's mother and Su Zhao was shocked by this bombshell.
Su Yang and the others were also shocked. How come they didn't know anything about it?
Some of the younger ones are still ignorant and confused, not knowing that this is an opportunity to change their destiny!
Some of the older ones were so excited that they almost jumped up!
Who wouldn’t be happy to be able to read?
Knowing how to read and write will give them more choices in their future lives. This is their chance to escape from working in the fields.
"Grandpa, are you telling the truth?"
"Can we really learn to read from the Master?"
"Haha, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
…
After everyone calmed down, Father Su knocked on the table and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Then he said seriously, "You know our family's situation. We farmers can't afford to send you all to school."
"I had a hard time getting this teacher for you. You all need to study hard, okay?"
"Know!"
Eleven voices sounded in unison, deafening.
Su Xia, who was feeding Shangguan Qingcang next door, was frightened by the sound and her hand shook, and the soup in the spoon spilled all over Shangguan Qingcang.
The gloom in Shangguan Qingcang's eyes flashed away, and soon returned to normal, with worry on his gentle face.
"Xia'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Xia came back to her senses and saw Shangguan Qingcang looking at her worriedly, and her pretty face blushed slightly.
