These matters were left to Uncle Li, Jiang Shuhe, and my cousin from my maternal uncle's family.
Jiang Shuyun's cousin from her maternal uncle's side didn't come this year, and there was a commotion at home.
My uncle's family has two sons and three daughters, and all of them except for the youngest daughter are married.
This year, the family's financial situation has improved slightly, and the eldest son, Wang Lei, is now working as a long-term laborer on Shuyun's estate.
With some extra money in hand, Wang Lei made arrangements to send his two sons to school. Even if they didn't pass the imperial examinations, just learning more characters and some arithmetic would be good.
But the second daughter-in-law objected. Their second wife only had one son, who was just over a year old. When would he be able to go to school?
The eldest son's family had two sons who went to school, which cost a lot of money each year, so they were at a disadvantage.
Wang Xuan's wife, Lin Wanling, made a scene, insisting that her parents-in-law give them the appropriate amount of money to compensate their second wife.
After much arguing, the uncle's family split up, and the second son's family was separated from the family.
Because of Lin Wanling's antics, and the previous commotion caused by Jiang Dasao regarding Jiang Qi's divorce, the reputation of the Lin family's daughters plummeted.
Lin, who had already retired, was completely devastated by these events, and the doctor said his days were numbered.
These things were all told to Mu Yi'an by Li Qiuniang, and the two shop assistants at the shop overheard them when they occasionally returned to the village.
Because the family had separated, Wang Lei couldn't leave all the family's land to his father, and he couldn't work as a farmhand anymore. But he didn't spend that year on the farm for nothing.
Vegetables were planted wherever possible, in front of and behind the house, to be sold to Mu Yi'an's shop. Four more pigs were caught, and he would help out in the pigsty when he had free time, so he knew the process of raising pigs.
I planted one acre of watermelons this year, and the income won't be small.
The news gradually reached Mu Yi'an's ears, but she just listened and let it go. Shao Yun at home had already gone to school, but recently he had become a bit lazy and didn't want to study anymore.
Sigh, raising children is really not an easy thing.
