Chapter 408 Going to freeload meat 1
Chen Dabao laughed along, his face beaming with undisguised joy and excitement.
Seeing this, Erni looked at Zhao Mei expectantly and said, "Mom, I want a schoolbag too."
The children in the other houses all have one, and she wants one too!
Zhao Mei looked troubled and said, "Two yuan and fifty cents is too expensive. Let's not buy it."
These two cost a whole five yuan!
It's just a few pieces of cloth, why would it cost so much?
Dani knew about her family's situation and nodded very understandingly, "Yes, we don't want to."
Erni immediately became sullen. They had separated from the family and there was no one to take care of her anymore, so why did she still have to live such a miserable life?
Sanni glanced at it once and then looked away, showing neither envy nor longing.
She was already grateful to be able to go to school, and she knew that her parents would not buy her a schoolbag for 2.5 yuan. Without a schoolbag, she would carry her textbooks and pens by hand.
When Li Chunhua heard that Da Ni and Er Ni were actually going to school, she was extremely surprised: "Big brother and sister-in-law are actually sending two girls to school?! What a waste of money!"
The eldest son and his wife must have lost their minds. She's a money-losing daughter who'll be married off sooner or later. They should be grateful if they can at least feed her!
But then I thought about it again. The eldest son's wife only has daughters and no sons, so even if she wanted to save money for her son to get married, she couldn't.
That's quite pitiful!
Chen Jianye explained, "The commune's primary school didn't charge tuition or textbook fees, and the parents even paid for the paper and pens."
When the commune built the primary school, Chunhua was still at her parents' home and hadn't returned, so she didn't know about the commune building the primary school.
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua pursed her lips, thinking to herself that her parents-in-law were really senile. Instead of spending money on their granddaughter's schooling, they might as well just give it to their grandson!
Granddaughters will eventually get married, only grandsons can carry on the family line!
"Oh, right, Sanni also needs to go to school," Chen Jianye added.
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua's eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed, "No way! If she goes to school, who will do the housework?! Who will take care of Jinbao?!"
Sanni has to do housework at home!
Chen Jianye knew she would definitely throw a tantrum, and not wanting to waste any more words, he simply said, "This was agreed upon before. If you don't want to, go and talk to your parents yourself."
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua immediately deflated: "Then let's forget about it."
After saying that, he glared at Sanni hatefully, thinking, "Let this brat enjoy herself for a while longer!"

At lunchtime, Helian Jiao still had rice and meat in front of her, and Gu Tingyun did not return to the factory.
The elderly couple and Chen Jianjun ate a mixture of brown and white rice, while the two little ones had a full bowl of fine white rice.
And there's no need to specially divide the plates anymore. The two little ones can share one side, and the others can share the other side. Even the germaphobic young master Gu can accept this.
Smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the fourth house, Li Chunhua pulled Chen Xiaobao closer and whispered, "Xiaobao, Grandma is eating meat right now. Why don't you take Jinbao over and have some?"
Surely the parents-in-law wouldn't refuse to feed their own grandson after the family has separated.
Chen Xiaobao looked reluctant: "I dare not go. We have meat at home, so you can stew some meat for me!"
His grandparents were very fierce, so he didn't want to go over there.
Li Chunhua then coaxed, "If we finish all the meat at home, there won't be any left. Let's go eat at Grandpa and Grandma's house first! You're all Grandpa and Grandma's grandchildren, they'll definitely give you meat!"
