Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 249 The Chen Family Arrives
After that, Ke Muqing asked again, "Has the clan school in our village been established? Have all the children who are old enough been sent to school?"

"It's been done, and the father and son have also been invited." The village chief nodded repeatedly.

"How many children are going to school? Remember what I said before, children between three and ten years old, whether boys or girls, can go to school for free. If for no other reason, I just hope that the children going out from our village can be literate. Only when people can read can they distinguish right from wrong and understand reason."

Ke Muqing also asked how many children were in school now, and how many were boys and how many were girls.

"There are already more than fifty students now, but..." Yang Lizheng sighed, "There are only six girls."

"I tried to persuade the old lady in the village about what she said when she started the clan school, but few people had such a good mind as her. One family said that if the girl went to school, there would be no one to do the housework. Another family said that if the girl went to school, she would become wild and difficult to control. For the families who restrain the girls, if we give them one word of advice, they will have ten words waiting for us."

Ke Muqing rested one hand on the table, tapping it lightly with her fingertips. She didn't speak immediately, but was thinking about this matter.

After a long while, Ke Mucheng slowly spoke.

"Then please go back and tell the villagers that if there are girls of school age who are not allowed to go to school, they should take their boys back home. Since they are planning this, they can pay for their own children to go to the private school in town."

Ke Muqing sneered, "I won't spoil them."

For the sake of the girls in the tribe, Ke Muqing specially invited a female teacher when she set up this tribe school. The tribe school was divided into two parts, one side for male students and the other side for female students.

Female students are not taught the female precepts, so what the male teachers teach is the same as what the female teachers teach.

Yang Lizheng said that there were only six girls attending school, and it seemed that two of them were Yang Lizheng’s own granddaughters.

What do you mean, the daughter of the family goes to school and there is no one to do the housework? The clan school only has classes for half a day in the morning and there is one day off in seven days. They are just girls between three to ten years old. If a family loses its little girl, will the family be unable to make ends meet?
"Just pass on my words. Whoever causes trouble will have his children expelled from the clan school." Ke Muqing said.

Yang Lizheng agreed. Knowing that Ke Mucheng was busy, he did not stay long. After hearing Ke Mucheng's words that he would bring his family back to the village to stay for a few days in a couple of days, he left.

As soon as Yang Lizheng left, Ke Mucheng called Yang Chengzhuo, who was peeking outside the door, in.

The child is ten years old now, and his temperament is still the same as when he was little.

"Grandma!" Yang Chengzhuo ran in, moved a chair and sat next to Ke Muqing, smiling, "Grandma, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Let me tell you the bad news first." Ke Muqing took a sip of tea.

"The bad news is that someone from the Chen family in Shangyang Town has come." Yang Chengzhuo saw that Ke Muqing looked confused after he finished speaking. He slapped his thigh and said, "Grandma, have you forgotten about the Chen family in Shangyang Town? It's the Chen family of my eldest aunt's previous husband!"

If Yang Chengzhuo hadn't described it in detail, Ke Muqing really wouldn't have remembered this person. "The old couple from the Chen family, along with Chen Yong and the other two, came together. The concierge didn't know about their family and the eldest aunt's affairs, so he reported the visitor to the housekeeper. I happened to hear it, so I ordered people to drive the family away."

"I was curious at the time, so I followed the servants to the door to watch the excitement. Grandma, what are you doing here at the Chen family?"

"Do we need to guess? They must know that our family has become rich, so they want to bring your aunt back." Ke Mucheng sneered, so there is no need to guess to know that the Chen family is not up to anything bad.

"Grandma is right! The Chen family wants to marry my eldest aunt back! The three of them knelt down at the door and kowtowed to admit their mistakes, saying that they regretted it and begged grandma to marry my eldest aunt to them again, saying that they would definitely treat my eldest aunt well this time." Yang Chengzhuo snorted, "How shameless! They beat my eldest aunt into such a state and almost killed her. She was bedridden for so long, and this family actually has the nerve to beg."

"Now my grandmother is the Protector of the Nation Lady. Even the county governor has to bow to her when he sees her. My eldest aunt is the Protector of the Nation Lady's daughter. My eldest sister, the Princess Changping, is my eldest aunt's niece. My youngest aunt, the Princess Yukang, is my eldest aunt's younger sister. If Chen Yong can marry my eldest aunt, his family will be able to rise to great heights."

"Now they must be regretting how they treated my aunt back then."

The current Yang family is a family that even the Chen family cannot marry up with for eighteen generations. If the Chen family knew about this, they would definitely want to give it a try. They thought that Yang Xiu'e had been married before and had a bad reputation. Maybe the Yang family would be willing to marry Yang Xiu'e back to the Chen family to make her famous.

"Let's not talk about the Chen family anymore. It makes me sick. Let's talk about the good news." Ke Muqing warned, "Don't tell your aunt about the Chen family, so as not to make her angry again."

"Even if Grandma didn't tell me, you would know that my eldest aunt shouldn't hear about this." Yang Chengzhuo smiled, "Grandma, the good news I want to tell you is that my mother is pregnant! Fourth Aunt is pregnant too!"

"This is really a double blessing!" Ke Muqing was delighted, "Let's go and see your mother and your fourth aunt."

"They are all in the garden now." Yang Chengzhuo followed Ke Mucheng happily and told Ke Mucheng what had just happened in the garden.

"At first, my mother said she was feeling a little unwell and had lost her appetite recently, so my father asked the housekeeper to find a doctor to see her. When the doctor came, Fourth Aunt was also there, so he asked the doctor to see her as well. Isn't this a coincidence? The doctor said that my mother and Fourth Aunt were both pregnant. My mother was more than two months pregnant, and Fourth Aunt was more than one month pregnant."

"Grandma, the house is going to be lively now. I'm going to have two more brothers and sisters all of a sudden."

Yang Chengzhuo asked with a grin, "Grandma, if mother and fourth aunt both give birth to younger brothers, then grandma will ask them to study hard and pass the imperial examination for you. Grandma, then can I stop studying? Anyway, there are already Chengzhi and Chengshao who love to study at home. If we have two more younger brothers, let them learn to love to study from Chengzhi and Chengshao, then I won't be the only one who studies at home."

"Go ahead and dream about your life. Even if your family gives you ten or eight more brothers, you must study for me!" Ke Muqing said, "As long as you don't pass the exam to become a scholar, you can forget about getting married. If you can't pass the exam to become a scholar, you will be single for the rest of your life!"

Yang Chengzhuo pouted, "Sometimes I even doubt if I am still grandma's sweetheart."

"You are not one when you are not studying." Ke Mucheng responded quickly and walked quickly.

Yang Chengzhuo was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot. When he looked up, his grandmother was nowhere to be seen. He had no choice but to chase after her in a hurry.

The flowers in the garden were in full bloom. The two brothers Yang Jiye and Yang Jimin were there to keep them company. The two brothers were laughing like a pair of idiots.
