In the next few days, Zhou Baozhu stood at the door of Old Song's house with her hands on her hips every day, cursing from morning to noon, and then came back in the afternoon to continue cursing after lunch.
All the people in Old Song's house were like turtles hiding in their shells, not daring to make a single move.
Mrs. Song was extremely angry. She thought she was a scoundrel enough, but it turned out that the Zhou family had hidden someone even more scoundrel.
Being scolded every day is not a good thing, so Old Man Song decided to talk to Zhou Lizheng directly.
On this day, Song Yuehua was encouraging Xiaobao to walk.
Tang came in a hurry, sat on the kang, and sighed, "Looking at Zhou Baozhu's behavior, I thought there would be a turn for the better, but who knew that family was so shameless. Now it seems that the Song family's wish will really come true."
"What happened?" Song Yuehua asked.
It turned out that Old Man Song threatened that if the Zhou family did not accept Song Xiaocao, they would sell her out.
He said that he couldn't keep a girl with a good reputation but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was threatening Li Zheng.
Song Xiaocao is different from Song Yuehua. There is no family division, and Song Laoer and his wife are still there. If they really want to be sold, Zhou Lizheng has no reason to intervene.
But Zhou Lizheng couldn't just watch Song Xiaocao being sold.
At the end, Tang said bitterly, "That family is a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp, and they only think of disgusting means."
The two families argued for half a month before Zhou Lizheng finally agreed to let Song Xiaocao marry into the family.
The Song family threatened and made a fuss, and finally got the betrothal gift of 5 taels of silver as they wished.
Song Xiaocao was dressed in rags and was driven away to Zhou's house.
When the accident first happened, Song Yuehua went to Zhou's house once, but she didn't see Zhou Lizheng at that time. This time she finally saw him.
After not seeing him for a while, the village head seemed to have aged a few years.
"Grandpa Zhou, you look haggard." Song Yuehua felt sad.
Zhou Lizheng smiled bitterly and said, "I've been busy at home recently, so I didn't greet you last time. Now that things have come to this, there's nothing much to say."
Song Yuehua comforted him, "Grandpa Zhou, you don't have to be so upset. Regardless of whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, you are Xiaocao's lifesaver. If she knows the reason, she won't repay you with evil. If the two of you are interested, you can just let it go. If not, just think of it as saving a little girl."
Zhou Lizheng sighed, "I thought so too, but it's a pity that things have been settled like this. I'm afraid I won't be able to control it in the future."
"If you don't mind, I have a primary school over there. Although it only teaches literacy, you can let Xiaocao come for half a day every day to read and learn sensible things. What do you think?" Song Yuehua came up with an idea.
Zhou Lizheng shook his head and said, "You'd better not get involved. Don't let the Song family get involved."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Grandpa Zhou, don't forget that I am from the third branch of the Song family. Besides, Song Xiaocao is already a member of the Zhou family. Whatever I do, it has nothing to do with the Song family!"
Zhou Lizheng was silent for a while before he said, "According to what you said, it doesn't matter if you know how to read. If the Song family causes trouble for you, I will take care of it for you."
Song Yuehua couldn't be sure of Song Xiaocao's character, but it was only a possibility that she was literate and sensible.
Zhou Xiaohu is 11 years old and Song Xiaocao is only 6 years old. No one knows what will happen to them in the future.
After returning home, Xie Yu was giving a lecture in the primary school, and Song Yuehua sat in the back and listened for a while.
For a 9-year-old girl, Xie Yu has done very well.
But, it’s still not enough!
Xiaoyu, Xiaobao, Dabao, Ruchu, Wenwu, Rushan, Zhou Xiaohu and Song Xiaocao.
Song Yuehua hopes that they can learn more, have their own thoughts, and be able to distinguish right from wrong and think carefully and act with determination in their future life.
In the room, Granny Wang was playing with Dabao and Xiaobao.
Dabao was sitting opposite Xiaobao, babbling something and gesticulating. Xiaobao said nothing, but silently stretched out his little hand and pushed forward, and Dabao fell to the ground.
The two little dumplings have grown a few teeth now, and they can eat more things, such as steamed eggs, rice soup, and vegetable puree. They eat so much that they are getting heavier and heavier, and Granny Wang can hardly hold them anymore.
Granny Wang said with emotion, "The kid is growing so fast. He can run and jump in the blink of an eye."
yes!
Children will grow up quickly.
At this moment, Song Yuehua finally made up her mind.
That night, Song Yuehua found Zhou Lizheng again and told him her thoughts.
Zhou Lizheng was so shocked that he stood up from his chair and quickly refused, "No, no, this is unreasonable. Even if we want to run a school, it is the clan's business. How can you do it alone?"
Song Yuehua said slowly, "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhou. This matter must be handled by me alone, because only in this way can I hold the right to speak in my hands, and forget about Li Zheng's success."
Zhou Li was rubbing his head. He was becoming more and more confused about this child.
"Why do I need help from others?"
Zhou Lizheng said helplessly, "According to what you said, you paid the money, so who would disagree if you can get the advantage for free?"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Don't think that others are taking advantage of me. I have my own plans."
The two of them also budgeted the cost of building the school, including three lecture halls, four large rooms with kangs, a kitchen, a dining room, a woodshed, a utility room, a bathroom, and a study. Two large stoves were left in the kitchen, and a small stove was also built in the bathroom. For the time being, clay pots would be used.
Two toilets were built, one for men and one for women.
Because it is located at the end of the village, a wall had to be built. In addition to the mud bricks of the wall, all the houses inside were made of red bricks, the ground was paved with stone slabs, and the interior was painted with lime. The place for studying had to be clean and bright.
"Three lecture halls? Four rooms with heated beds? Bricks? Floors?" Zhou Lizheng asked in surprise, "Do you know how much silver it will cost?"
Song Yuehua chuckled and said, "Well, I have to trouble Grandpa Zhou to help me calculate it."
