Wu Gousheng led Wu Choudan into the living room and saw the two little ones gnawing on bones, while Wan Qiqi sat to the side in a daze.
He patted Wu Gou Dan on the shoulder and told him to play by himself.
He then sat down in the empty seat next to Wan Qiqi and asked, "Sister Qi, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the wasteland?"
"No, it's all taken care of." Wan Qiqi's hand got tired, so she changed her posture and continued to stare blankly.
"What happened?" Wu Gousheng asked curiously, wanting to answer Wan Qiqi's question.
"It's alright!" Wan Qiqi sighed softly, looked up at the dark sky outside the door, and asked, "Do you think women should be able to read and write?"
The answer that came to Wu Gousheng's mind was: No!
In his memory, no woman in the village was literate, because it was considered useless.
But in the town and other places, families with a little money would hire people to teach their children to read and write, regardless of gender.
Wu Gousheng always felt that there seemed to be some contradiction here. Isn't it said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent?
Why would wealthy families hire tutors to teach their daughters to read and write?
He answered seriously, "I don't know. I think it's better to be literate than not to be literate, but the school only accepts boys and never girls."
Wan Qiqi nodded gently, deciding not to consider the issue.
She then asked, "How's business at the restaurant these days?"
"Business is alright, I feel it's better than Bafanglaike," Wu Gousheng replied, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "But it's strange, some customers praise our restaurant's food as being better, so why do they always go to Bafanglaike?"
“Those people aren’t eating food, they’re eating friendship.” Wan Qiqi could roughly understand that.
The host of the guests from all directions was the Pei family, a prominent family in Baizhi Town with a stable position in Yunhe County. If one could establish a connection with them, one could gain some benefits.
In comparison, the two owners of Xinglong Restaurant seemed rather useless.
He was someone whose background was unclear, inconspicuous among business people, with little fame, and no one particularly remarkable about him.
Even if the other one has connections with the government, she is still a woman and is unlikely to achieve great things.
Wan Qiqi told Wu Gousheng about these things, but Wu Gousheng disagreed, thinking these people were stupid, and that his sister Qiqi was the one most worthy of his attention.
If Master Wan passes the imperial examination, then cultivating a good relationship with Sister Qi will make all the difference in both business and career prospects.
But most people in the world are short-sighted and only look at immediate benefits.
