It is impossible to split the family, at least not now!

Lu Lin made the decision silently.

She only knows how to farm and has no other way to make money. Even if her second husband can make sauce, everything has just started, and Er Gouzi is just talking about it. It’s still unknown how this business will turn out, so she can’t take the risk.

Besides, Er Gouzi said that he would support the Lu family's children to go to school. If I were to separate myself, the relationship would seem a little distant, and they would no longer support them...

For the sake of her children's education, she doesn't want to leave even if she has to cultivate all the family's land by herself!

So, Lu Lin doesn’t tell either!

When the Lu family gathered together again the next day to discuss these important matters, Lu Yao was surprised to find that except for her, no one wanted to split up the family.

Sister Lu said that since she was the eldest daughter in the eldest son's family, it didn't matter whether she got a share or not, as she had to follow her parents anyway.

With more people at home and more help, she can go out and do odd jobs with peace of mind.

So I don’t want to split.

Lu Lin said that she thought so too.

Moreover, it is she and her husband who basically take care of the land at home, for she is afraid that her parents will be too busy to take care of it after she is gone.

As for the remaining two sisters, Lu Liuya and Qiya, one was only thirteen years old and the other ten years old, they were too young to be divided, and so they were not divided.

After all this time, it turns out that Lu Yao was the only one who wanted to divide it.

This really surprised her, as she thought that at least Lu Lin was willing to be free from constraints and to go out and start her own business.

It turned out that Lu Lin was the most determined.

I looked at the eight little kids behind Lu Lin. The oldest was nine years old and the youngest was only three years old.

Lu Yao suddenly understood why Lu Lin didn't want to separate the family.

In fact, the eldest sister has quite a few people in her family, and maybe they don't want to split up just to raise their children together.

All I can say is that different situations lead to different choices.

"Your father and I have discussed this all night. Since you want to separate it, then do it." Finally, Mother Lu spoke.

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as my parents agree.

Then, Mother Lu added, "But we can't separate now because you haven't started a family yet."

It turned out that Lu Yao, whose memory was not fully received, overlooked a custom - one can only separate from the family after getting married, and those who are not married will of course live with their parents.

If Lu Yao were to separate now, it wouldn't be called "separation" but being "kicked out of the house".

This is different from her previous life where children could live away from their parents once they grew up and had a job, and could make their own decisions.

“Ah? This…” Lu Yao was embarrassed.

What should we do then?

"You kid, you just want to make your own decisions! Your mother and I have agreed." Father Lu scolded.

"You only think that it will be convenient to do business after the division, but you don't think that if you divide it now, it will cause you a lot of trouble in finding a husband and getting married in the future."

You were separated before you even started a family. Outsiders don't care about your true situation, they just think you have a bad story.

Going on a blind date under such conditions is no less damaging than having a bad reputation.

Mother Lu and Father Lu meant that they agreed to separate Lu Yao for her studies and business, but they had to wait until she got married to avoid giving her a bad reputation and delaying her finding a husband.

"My parents still love me!" Lu Yao felt the care and love from her parents, and her heart was warmed. She felt more motivated.

Then there is the question of providing books for the children.

Lu Yao meant that all the girls in the family went to school!

Her purpose was to cast a wide net, without distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Whoever learns well at that time will continue to be supported.

However, there is a condition: those who have not passed the examination to become a scholar before the age of 20 will not be supported.

Otherwise, if you take the exam every year but fail, and you keep studying and taking exams when you are old and your hair is white, then you are just relying on your parents for support.

My family has given me good conditions, but I haven't passed the imperial examination at the age of 20. Maybe I'm really not cut out for studying. I should just do what I should do.

When this policy came out, the Lu family was overjoyed.

Especially Sister Lu and Lu Lin’s second and third husbands, they were so excited that they shed tears when they heard that their children could also go to school.

To be more precise, Mother Lu and Father Lu were shocked!

They originally thought that Ergouzi would only support a few of the children born to the doctor, but they didn't expect that he would support all of them?

Uncle Lu's heart shuddered and the corners of his mouth twitched.

You know, the total cost of various expenses for a child to go to the private school in Daxingzhuang in the neighboring village is six taels of silver per year, which is unaffordable for ordinary farmers.

But now Ergouzi has to bear the cost of six taels of silver, and Father Lu begins to feel bad about the money again.

"What about Liu Ya and Lu Hua?" Mother Lu thought for a moment and asked.

The other children were easier to deal with, since they were just little rascals who were ten years old or younger.

For a six-year-old like Lu Yi XIV, it is just the right time for enlightenment.

For some children, their ages are just right, but now that the New Year has passed, Lu Liuya is already fourteen and Lu Hua is thirteen, which is seriously over the age limit.

In the eyes of the farmers, these two children are just half of the labor force and need to work hard at home. In two or three years, they will be arranged to get engaged.

Is it necessary for two people like this to go to school?

"Liu Ya, Lu Hua, do you two want to go to school?" Lu Yao asked for their opinions first.

Lu Liuya bit her lip and said firmly: "Sister, I want to go!"

After she looked at Mother Lu and Father Lu, she quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't fall behind in the housework!"

Lu Yao likes it very much!

I love children who take the initiative to read!

Lu Hua is the child of Elder Sister Lu. She is one year younger than Lu Liuya and is of a lower generation.

She looked at her parents and said she wanted to go, and that she would not interfere with the housework.

"Okay! If you want to go, I'll support you! Even though you two are older, there's no shame in going to school later. You'll learn faster than others."

Lu Yao decided not to leave Liu Ya and Lu Hua behind.

She even felt that when she was older, she might cherish the opportunity to study more and work harder.

A few years later, she will understand how wise her decision was.

You will also be able to see what a successful long-term investment it was when you spent a lot of money on your children's education.

Therefore, Lu Yao paid for the schooling of all nine girls in the Lu family.

The private school closest to the village is Zhixuetang in Daxingzhuang, a neighboring village.

The teacher's tuition was four taels of silver a year. The student had to provide his own pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, plus the holiday gifts given to the teacher during several solar terms. In total, a student would have to pay about six taels of silver a year.

Because all nine children are from the Lu family, when giving holiday gifts to the husband, there is no need to give nine gifts, but only one larger gift.

It saves a lot compared to sending nine copies.

Lu Yao said: There are indeed discounts for group buying.

After arranging everything for the girls in the family, Lu Yao turned her attention to the two boys.
