"Second sister-in-law, what's with your reaction? We've found someone to treat my second brother, aren't you happy?" Chi Wuhu looked at the broken teacup on the ground with heartache and nitpicked irritably.
There are three of these teacups in the house.
That woman threw him to the ground!
Aunt Chi's gaze sharpened as she fixed intently on Shi Hongxing. Suddenly, with a sudden flash of inspiration, she loudly proclaimed, "Shi Hongxing, do you know who poisoned Erchuan?"
Otherwise, why would I be so shocked?
They hadn't expected it, but they were happy and excited!
Looking into Shi Hongxing's eyes, there was not a trace of joy.
All eyes were on Shi Hongxing, who felt as if she were being pricked by needles, and used her usual arrogance and domineering attitude to cover up her mistake:
"Mother, how can you say that? How could I possibly know? Do I look like someone who knows someone who can use witchcraft?"
Shi Hongxing kept tugging at her sleeve, desperately pulling it down.
I don't know if she was trying to hide something, or if she was just too nervous.
Chi Erchuan thought it was unlikely, so he defended his wife: "Mother, let's hear what Chenyi has to say first. Hongxing wouldn't go this far."
Thinking back, my father's first reaction was to have my third brother read the letter, instead of having him, the most educated person in the family, read it.
He felt uneasy.
It wasn't anything else, but he felt he was useless to his parents, to the point that they never thought of him for anything.
"Alright, let Sanhe continue." Old Man Chi gave his wife a look, signaling her not to pursue the matter further.
The most important thing now is the Gu poison in Erchuan's body.
If it's not removed, it will remain a thorn in their side!
Chi Sanhe was enjoying the excitement when it suddenly ended! Reluctantly, he continued:
"Chenyi said he would come once before the Chinese New Year this year, but he wouldn't stay. He said time is a bit tight and asked us not to mind."
"He waited for the person who could treat the Gu poison to arrive before coming together."
"Also, our household registration has been renewed. We'll bring it with us next time we come."
The household registration records were torn up by the county government officials, which made it inconvenient for them to do many things.
There is no way for it to flow.
So when Huo Chenyi arrived, Old Man Chi asked him to help him reissue his household registration.
The whole family was very happy.
Anyway, now that my household registration has been updated, I feel much more at ease.
"Chen Yi is being too formal."
"Hey, by the way, should we reply to Chenyi's letter?"
"But we don't know how to send it."
Everyone started discussing it, each offering their own opinion.
Chi Sanhe chuckled and added, "Chen Yi said in his letter that the blacksmith shop in town is owned by his family. If you need anything, you can go to them. If you need to write a letter, you can ask them to help deliver it."
"That's great, shall we reply to Chenyi now?"
"Yes, yes, but where do we have paper and pens at home?"
Looking at his grandsons, who were glancing around blankly or completely unaware of what was happening, Old Man Chi felt a pang of sadness.
He at least sent his son to school...
Oh, speaking of which, my youngest son never went to school either…
"Go buy some! Let's go buy some paper and pens. Erchuan, you're home too, so use this time to teach Xiao Wu and your nephews their early education. Don't even think about looking for work. We'll figure things out after your older brother gets out."
Despite being poor and illiterate, Old Man Chi firmly believes that education will make him stand out from the crowd and lead to a bright future!
Look at his second son, isn't he?
Although I've never given any money to my family, I've managed to live a pretty good life.
“Father-in-law, Chuanlang originally planned to go out and earn money. We're planning to have a child, how can we manage without earning money?”
Shi Hongxing was the first to object.
If Chuanlang doesn't go out to earn money, what will happen to her cosmetics, hairpins, and other precious items?
"Red apricot!"
"Chi Erchuan, what do you think?"
Old Man Chi didn't care what his daughter-in-law thought; he went straight to ask his son.
If his son dares to ask him for money, he'll kick him out!
"Dad, I have no objection."
"Chi Erchuan!"
Shi Hongxing's screams were almost annoying the roof, but they couldn't change Chi Erchuan's decision.
Enraged, Shi Hongxing turned and left.
"Alright, second and third sons, you two go to town now and buy some paper and pens, as well as other things that children need for their early education."
Old Man Chi asked his wife to get the money.
Chi Shuxing asked, "Grandpa, can I not learn? I don't want to learn to read, I want to learn martial arts."
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Studying is so much better!" Sister-in-law Chi was the first to object.
Putting everything else aside, she would be satisfied if her son could have an easy, respectable job that paid well, just like her second uncle.
Without education, you'll only be able to scrape by in the dirt! What's so good about that?
Chi Shuxing said seriously, "But what's the use of studying? Learning martial arts is better; it can protect your family."
That way, if bad guys come, he can fight them off himself and won't have to rely on anyone else!
Dad won't go to jail anymore.
Sister-in-law Chi was speechless, and her eyes were even a little red.
"Xingxing, how about this? You can start learning to read with your second uncle. Then, when your father comes out, we can have a proper discussion. If you still insist on it then, Grandma will tighten her belt and send you to learn martial arts, how about that?"
"Why bother learning to read? Didn't I already say it's useless?"
Chi Shuxing was somewhat unhappy.
Sister-in-law Chi grabbed her eldest son's ear and yelled, "Just learn what I tell you to learn! Why are you talking so much?"
