Wang's little lady

Chapter 5

Xie Hongdou finally relaxed and didn't want to move;

Instead, he quickly recalled everything that happened today in his mind. After confirming his situation again and again, he still couldn't help but sigh.

She was originally a small-time rich person who worked hard on her own. Now that she is here, she truly understands the difficulty of transitioning from luxury to frugality.

But at this moment I can only accept it calmly.

As for life, that is what people live. If she can live a good life in such a busy place, she can naturally do the same here.

At least the Xie family has one heart and one heart, so they don’t have to worry about doing good things.

Except for the steamed eggs in front of Xie Hongdou, the rest of the Xie family, including the youngest Tuan Geer, could only eat whole grains for dinner.

She was really embarrassed to eat alone, so she divided a spoonful of the eggs in the bowl.

"Hongdou, you are not in good health, so you need to eat something good. We are all well, so we don't need to eat eggs."

Grandma Xie tried to stop her granddaughter’s movements, Brother Tuan was also greedy for eggs,

But he knew that his sister was in poor health and needed to eat eggs, so he could only swallow secretly.

Mrs. Zhang would not even touch it. She also wanted her daughter to get well soon.

Hongdou naturally understood the goodwill of her family, but how could she eat it with peace of mind.

"Grandma, everyone has been tired recently and needs to replenish their health."

"My granddaughter became ill this time and realized that what our family is most afraid of now is not lack of money, but illness;"

"Once you fall ill, you will spend more money than you earn."

After the original owner fell ill, the family spent a lot of money to hire a doctor to give her medicine. Plus the cost of the funeral, the family was already stretched thin.

If we hadn't gotten some money back today, maybe the family would have to borrow food to survive in a while.

So when Hongdou said this, Mrs. Xie and Mr. Zhang deeply believed it.Ordinary people cannot afford to get sick.

Compared with getting sick, it is more cost-effective to eat well and take good care of your body.

"What Hongdou said makes sense, our family's health must not collapse."

"Everyone eats eggs. Only by nourishing our bodies can we make money."

After Xie Grandma took the lead and took a bite of the egg custard, she also asked everyone to eat the food in the bowl together.

During these days, it was rare for a few people to have a satisfying meal.

After the meal, Xie Hongdou continued to discuss future arrangements with her family.

Making money is very important these days;

There is also Tuan Geer on the side. He is six years old. If he doesn't go to school, his enlightenment will be too late.

"Grandma, mother, I want to send brother Tuan to school."

Mrs. Zhang and Grandma Xie, who were clearing away the dishes, stopped what they were doing when they looked at each other when they heard Hongdou's words.

Grandma Xie glanced at her grandson lovingly and said helplessly to her granddaughter:
"Hongdou, Brother Tuan, I'm afraid it won't work out for him to go to school."

"The family really can't afford it right now. If your father were still here..." Everyone would understand what Xie said later even if she didn't say it.

Ms. Zhang also wanted her son to learn and read, so that he could find a decent job and support the family.

But nowadays, how can I dare to expect my son to study.

Brother Tuan wants to go to school. His father told him before that he would send him to school after this fall.

But even though he was young, he knew that life at home was difficult now, so he didn't dare to mention it.

Thinking of this, Brother Tuan's eyes turned red and he lowered his head subconsciously, for fear that everyone would see his ugly appearance.

Xie Hongdou took note of the reactions of several people, especially Tuan Geer, who was only five years old and already knew how to think about his family, be sensible and restrained.

Think about what the five-year-old children of future generations are doing at this age. All they think about every day is buying toys, watching TV, and eating snacks.She felt really sad when she saw Brother Tuan. Children should study at this age.

"Grandma, mother, I know it's difficult at home now. It's precisely because of the difficulties that I want Brother Tuan to study more."

When Grandma Xie, Mrs. Zhang and Brother Tuan heard this, they were all a little confused and in trouble. How could they still spend money to study?
Xie Hongdou understood their thoughts. Zuo was just a poor family and it was enough to have enough to eat. Others did not dare to expect that;
But after all, she would always be greedy after living for a few more decades.

In particular, reading is very important and worth investing in, no matter which world you are in.

"There are only three women left in our family now, and the only boy is still a five-year-old child. Who can guarantee that no one will bully us in the future?"

"If you send a tuan brother to study, everyone will respect the scholar as soon as he comes;"

"Secondly, our family can use this to have contact with the Master;"

"Our town is small and there are not many dignitaries. Master teaches and educates people, and he is the most respected by people."

"As long as he helps us out by saying a few words for the sake of the students, it will be enough to protect us in the short term."

Of course she wouldn't rely on others all the time, she just had to give herself some time to breathe.

"Thirdly, it's just my selfishness; if Brother Tuan does well in his studies and becomes a scholar in the future, our family's family will also change."

With the title of scholar, even if Brother Tuan officially enters the ranks of the imperial examination, he will not kneel when he meets an official. At least in this town, they can firmly establish themselves, and it will be easier for her to do things.

If Brother Tuan is talented in reading, goes all the way to the exams, and becomes a Jinshi, it will be better.

Among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars always ranked first and had the highest status.

Who wants to live a bad life when you can live a good life?

Good times will not come in vain, but if you don’t work hard, no one knows what the result will be.

After hearing Xie Hongdou's words, the three people in the room were a little afraid to react.

Now, if you can read a few words and work as a bookkeeper, you will be extremely respectable. How can you dare to expect to be a scholar?

To be a scholar, how smart a person must be to be admitted? In their place, there are not even a few scholars who have become a scholar within hundreds of miles.

This granddaughter (daughter) really dares to think.

If they knew that Xie Hongdou wanted to be a Jinshi most, they would probably think that her granddaughter (daughter) was crazy.

Although Brother Tuan was a little embarrassed, he felt that his sister trusted him, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. Could he really be a scholar?
But. . .

"Sister, I'd better not go to school. It costs a lot of money to go to school. We don't have it at home."

Brother Tuan doesn't want his grandma, mother and sister to have a hard time just because he wants to study.

Although Grandma Xie and Mrs. Zhang come from women's families, they also know that there are many benefits to studying, but their families cannot afford it.

Although the Wang family paid back a sum of money, there are still several people in the family who need to eat and drink.

"Grandma, mother, don't worry about money. I just thought about it carefully."

"There are still two months until the autumn semester. If we can find a way to make money in these two months, we will send Brother Tuan to school."

"how?"

Xie Hongdou knows that studying is expensive. Let alone here, even in future generations, training a scholar is not cheap.

The reason she brought it up now was because she wanted her family members to have the awareness that they must read.Incidentally, stimulate their fighting spirit;

For the rest, she will figure it out.

"But, it's not that easy to find a profitable job. Your father's job has already been noticed by others."

Grandma Xie began to worry. Her granddaughter was right. Studying is a good thing, but money is also a big problem.

"Don't worry, I have some ideas in mind. Let's try it tomorrow."

After Xie Hongdou left everyone with hope, he got up and went back to his room to recuperate, leaving the three of them feeling itchy.
