After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

"What's going on?" Qin Yao asked doubtfully.

The appearance of the five mother and son slightly relaxed the solemn atmosphere in the courtyard.

When Mrs. Qiu saw Qin Yao, she glanced angrily at the stubborn girl standing in the yard and called Qin Yao to come and help persuade her.

He hurriedly came over, pulled Qin Yao and walked in front of Jin Hua, who was standing like a wooden stake.

"Jinhua values ​​her third aunt the most. This girl suddenly became stubborn today. Please come and tell her third aunt. Let's see which girl doesn't stay at home and learn to be a girl."

When Jinhua heard this, she glanced sideways at her eldest uncle, clenching her fists as if she was fighting something with all her strength, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

Before Qin Yao, the two-foot-long monk, could not figure it out, he asked.

Jinhua first said in a voice that was not loud but clear:

"I'm going to take the exam, and I'm going to school, and I'm going, I just want to go!"

Mrs. Qiu didn't expect that she still hadn't given up the idea after being persuaded by the whole family for so long. She had always been a gentle person, but it was rare for her to have an angry look on her face, and she scolded:

"Liu Jinhua, don't be ridiculous. Where can we afford to go to school?"

"The village chief said there is no tuition fee!" Jinhua retorted.

Don't bully her for being young. Just outside the ancestral hall, the village chief said that the court would help pay for the tuition for free and there would be no need to pay tuition.

Mrs. Qiu was not angry, "Why didn't you listen to the other things that cost money? You don't have to take a ride when you want to go to town? You don't have to pay for pens, ink, paper and inkstones?"

"Then why can I go? Isn't it free to go?" Jinhua pointed at Liu Jinbao and asked.

In fact, what does the little girl know? She just simply thinks it’s unfair!

Mrs. He didn't dare to get involved at this time. She hurriedly returned to the main room, hugged her son Jinbao, looked at him proudly and said:

"Your brother is a boy, so how can he be like you? Your brother has studied and become a leader, which is not good for you. If you get married in the future, your brother can still support you."

Jinhua cried and retorted: "Then if I study and become successful, I can support my brother."

"Ouch~" Mr. He couldn't help but laugh at the little girl's innocence, "Jinhua, you are a girl, what can you do if you study? Girls are not allowed in other schools. What are you going to do? Why don't you learn to work as a female worker from your mother at home?"

Jin Hualeng was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to choke back.

Mrs. Qiu came forward with her son in her arms and coaxed again: "Stop making trouble, can you go inside and play with your brother? Don't you want a red skirt? Your grandmother has also promised to buy you materials. Let's Just make a red dress, okay?”

Jinhua was almost shaken, but she still instinctively felt that reading must be a better and more precious thing than a red dress. She wiped her tears with her little hand, turned her head and hummed:

"I don't want a red dress, I want the same thing as my brother!"

He said with a smile: "When did my family have something nice to eat and wear? I didn't keep an eye on you and Jin Bao first? Your brother went to school and you wore a red dress. Isn't that the same thing?"

"It's different!" Jinhua sobbed, but spoke very clearly, "You said so much but you just don't want me to take the exam. You also said that I will definitely fail the exam, even if I try, who knows if I haven't tried."

Seeing that Mrs. Qiu was about to say that she had no money, Jinhua was the first to say: "Auntie, don't say that your family has no money to support me. Last year, the third aunt paid you so much wages. I know it, and no one can lie to me!" "

Qin Yao, a melon-eater, raised her eyebrows. The little girl is quite smart.

With such a good head, it would be a pity not to send him to school.

Qin Yao felt that she could say something, but this time she still didn't wait for the chance to speak.

Mrs. Qiu may have never seen her daughter so stubborn and stubborn. When coaxing her didn't work, she became really angry. She felt cruel and said in a deep voice:

"Why don't you know how to listen to advice? My mother asked you, what's the use of going to school? Can you recognize a few words and learn a few sentences in two years? Even if you are good at reading, you can't take the imperial examination. !”

Jinhua was shocked for a moment by her mother's deep tone, and asked a little confused: "Why should I take the imperial examination? Can't I just recognize a few more words?"

"What's the use of just being able to read? What's more, you're a girl, why do you need to know how to read? It's serious to learn to be a nühong and find a husband to marry in the future."

Qiu said angrily: "You are so powerful, let's see who dares to want you in the future!"

"If you want love, I just want to go to school!"

After going round and round, everything returned to the original point. Jin Hua refused to listen to anything she said, which made Mrs. Qiu very angry. Seeing that her tears were about to fall, Qin Yao was finally able to say a word.

"I think Jin Hua is right." When she spoke, everyone in the old house trembled.

I asked you to persuade me, not to cause trouble.

Si Niang stood next to A Niang and whispered: "Don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. If you want to go, everyone will go. If you don't want to go, don't go. Only when the children are in harmony will there be no gaps. Only when the children of the family help each other can the family become more and more prosperous."

Qin Yao happily looked at her outstanding daughter and shrugged helplessly at everyone in the old house, "Look, all four mothers know such a simple truth."

Old Man Liu and others looked at Siniang in surprise, not expecting her to be able to say such a great truth.

People who have never read books cannot say that we should not worry about scarcity but not inequality.

Jinhua was about to despair, but suddenly she saw someone standing on her side. She pursed her lips in grievance and sobbed: "Third Aunt, pen, ink, paper and inkstone don't cost a lot of money, right?"

"My father gave my mother two taels of silver. Two taels of silver can buy a lot of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, right?"

When the little girl got anxious, she accidentally ruined her family's fortune.

When Jinhua realized what she had done, she covered her mouth in surprise and hid behind Qin Yao, mother and son, fearing that her parents would beat her if they took off their shoes.

Qin Yao raised her eyes and looked at Liu Zhong and Qiu's anxious expressions that wanted to cover up but had nothing to say, and almost laughed out loud.

He and Liu Bai looked at the second couple with surprise, "Is this what you two said, 'You have no private money, so you have to ask your parents to buy some needlework'?"

Seeing that the explanation was useless, Liu Zhong looked back not to be outdone, "Speaking of private houses, the two of you, brother and sister-in-law, earn wages together, I'm afraid you already have four or five taels!"

Ms. Zhang rubbed her forehead and said, "Stop arguing, it makes me have a headache. Isn't it just for going to school? You can go if you want, and each family will pay for it!"

This last sentence is the key point.

Originally, Jinbao's tuition and miscellaneous expenses had to be paid out of his father's school, and the family's money was tight. She and Old Man Liu only planned to contribute one share to send Jinbao, the boy.

Mr. Qiu has a saying that his two elders agree with very much, that is, only boys can take the imperial examination, so only if he goes to school can he bring real benefits to the family.
