Chen Xuanxuan and Gu Yanzhang were in their own room, talking and laughing, and drinking fish soup. In the other rooms in the courtyard, the atmosphere was completely different.

Especially for Gu Dazhu and his brothers.

As soon as Gu Dazhu entered the room, he saw his wife beating his baby daughter.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

Gu Dazhu's wife was seen beating her child with her own eyes, and she answered calmly, "What else can I do? It's because this child is ignorant and makes trouble all day long?"

"I just don't understand, why is this loser in our family so annoying..."

Gu Dazhu heard it and said impatiently, "A loser, if she doesn't annoy people, can she still be called a loser?"

After Gu Dazhu simply changed his coat, he heated up some water for himself and prepared to take a bath.

When his wife saw it, she said something that made him uncomfortable.

"Master, I saw it clearly before you came back. It seems that there are a lot of good things stored in our parents' room."

"I heard that bastard say before that he wanted to drink some brown sugar ginger tea. Master, I don't understand. They are all born of the same mother, why does your mother love that kid so much..."

Gu Dazhu was in his room. Every time he talked about his half-brother, he used the term "bastard" to describe him.

He said this so many times that his wife also followed him in calling him that.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Who told that brat to have a good dad?

What's more, he's a rich and powerful dad." "I've heard people say that before his biological father passed away, he left a lot of good things for my mother and my grandmother. Among them must be things like gold necklaces and gold bracelets."

"A few days ago, I heard my father say that in another six months, he would send my bastard brother to the school in Chenjia Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, his wife's reaction was particularly big.

"Send them to school?"

"That will cost a lot more than that!"

"Some families will go bankrupt to support their own educated people. Parents, brothers and sisters will not be able to live a good life for decades."

Gu Dazhu's wife is from the county. Her

surname is Jiang.

The Jiang family is a big family in the county. It was originally very powerful, and there were many educated people in the ancestors.

However, although Jiang's grandfather, father, uncles, and her brothers all studied, they were not good at studying and could not pass the imperial examination. There are

too many educated people in her family. And those educated people look down on the peasants. They are lazy and do not know how to distinguish between grains.

Such people stay at home every day and live off their savings, so much so that the Jiang family sometimes has to ask Jiang to steal some things from home to help them.

Jiang didn't have a good life in her early years. After getting married, her living conditions were better.

But even so, she still hated the plan of her parents-in-law.

"Master, I'm telling you the truth. Our family has more and more people, and we will definitely have more and more children in the future. We only have so many things in the house, how can we support a large family in the future?"

"We can't even support this person, how can we have the spare money to send that bastard to school?"

Gu Dazhu listened and nodded repeatedly, "Isn't that right?"

"I have advised my father many times, but he just wants to move and send that bastard to school."

"He told me that if he doesn't let Na Ye go to school, my mother won't want to live with him and will go back to her parents' home..."

Jiang heard this and felt that her mother-in-law was even more hateful.

Jiang sometimes particularly disliked her father-in-law. She felt that her father-in-law spoiled her mother-in-law so much that she had no rules.

"Mrs., I'm not the one who wants to say bad things about my mother-in-law. It's many people in our village who say that our mother-in-law is selfish."

Gu Dazhu heard this and waved his hands at her in annoyance. "I've known my mother's character for a long time."

"She just likes to be the boss at home. We all have to listen to her."

"How to spend the money at home? How to eat the food stored at home? All of them are arranged by her."

Jiang heard this and sighed helplessly.

She is only in her twenties now and has given birth to two children. One child is just over three years old, and the other child is just over one year old.

The child is still young. If she wants to become a mother-in-law and enjoy the same treatment as her own mother-in-law,

she will have to wait for several decades. Jiang felt overwhelmed and particularly uncomfortable when she thought about living under the same roof with those people in this family for another few decades.

"Master,... Actually, I have another idea in my mind. I think that if one person goes to school, it's the same as going to school. If two children go together, it's also the same as going to school... I feel that the cost here will not increase much."

Gu Dazhu heard it and immediately understood what he meant.

He turned his head and looked at his eldest son seriously. He found that his son was holding a wooden stick and poking the grass ashes by the stove at this time, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

It was obvious that his child was not smart. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to send him to school?

Besides, would his parents agree to it?

So, under Jiang's expectant gaze, Gu Dazhu shook his head vigorously.

"No, that's not possible. Don't I know what kind of talent our son has?"

"My younger brother is half a year younger than our son. But now he can speak clearly. Yesterday, he greeted me warmly."

Thinking of his younger brother, who was raised by his mother to be fat and strong, Gu Dazhu couldn't help but remind Jiang, "Wife, can you be more thoughtful and give our son and daughter some delicious food and drinks?"

"I have never been stingy with you in the past. I have given you all the money I should have given you."

"Tell me, our brother was raised to be so white and fat. You are also a mother, why can't you do it?!"

When Jiang heard this, she reacted like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She shouted excitedly, "How can these two children born in our family be compared with the son born by your mother?!"

"You know that your mother is in that room every day, cooking for your baby brother?"

"Your brother eats fish, meat, eggs, and brown sugar tea every day... With such good nutrition, how come he doesn't get fat?"
