I became a farmer's wife, and the cruel and powerful officials forced me to give birth to a chi

"Sir, I would like to ask how old the students are in your academy? Do you accept students as young as ten?" Li Yujiao asked.

The young man said, "If it's for enlightenment, we won't accept children over ten years old."

"Then he should be less than ten years old, maybe nine years old." Li Yujiao said.

In this era, there were no ID cards and no family tree, so she had no say on how old she was.

Seeing Li Yujiao change her tune so quickly, the young man probably thought she was funny, so he smiled and said, "Actually, a one or two year age difference is not a big problem. The key is whether the child is willing to learn. If he is willing to learn, he will make rapid progress. When they first come in, they all learn the Thousand Character Classic and recognize some Chinese characters."

"How do you collect tuition fees?"

"You can pay 10 yuan in tuition, or 80 kilograms of rice, or 800 coins. The course lasts for six months, and the academy provides one meal."

Li Yujiao did some calculations and felt that she could definitely afford it.

"Sir, what is your name?" Li Yujiao asked.

"My surname is Song, and my given name is Ning."

"Mr. Song, can I bring the child over anytime?"

"You can bring the children here whenever it's convenient for you," Song Ning said.

……

When Li Yujiao returned home that night, she talked to Chun Ge about going to school in the yard.

"Brother Chun, do you know Qingyun Academy?"

Chun Ge said, "I know. All the boys in the village go to school there. My brother also went to school there before, but he didn't pass the exam to become a student. He said he wasn't cut out for studying."

Li Yujiao said, "I want you to go to that academy to study."

"Reading?" Chun Ge was shocked for a long time after hearing this.

"Yes, you are not a child anymore, you should go to school. You work for me here, shouldn't I pay you? I thought about it, you are so young, it is not safe to take the money, why not use the money to study in the academy, what do you think?"

"Absolutely not!"

Chun Ge's head immediately shook like a rattle, "Sister-in-law, you want to set up a stall. If I go to the academy, who will take care of my brother? Who will do the housework?"

"The key is whether you want to go to school?" Li Yujiao asked.

Chun Ge naturally thought about it, he thought about it in his dreams.

Many boys in the village will go to school for a year or two when they reach a certain age, otherwise they will not be able to read a single word or even count coins.

"But the housework..." He was still worried about the housework and Jing Qishan.

Li Yujiao said, "That's easy. Classes at the academy start at 7 p.m. You should get up early, feed the chickens and ducks, and serve your elder brother. When get out of class is over, you can come back to clean the yard and cook. Can you do that?"

In her previous life, when Li Yujiao was on a mission in a remote area, she saw that the children in those areas were all like this. After school, they not only had to cook, but also herd sheep. The children in Minle Village were the same. Jing Qida's son Jing Youfu also had to go to the foot of the mountain to cut grass for pigs after school.

Chun Ge still shook his head: "What about the elder brother? He can't leave."

Li Yujiao gritted her teeth and said, "Don't I have a cart? When I go to set up the stall, I can just pull him over with me."

"Absolutely not!" Although Chun Ge was young, he knew that if Li Yujiao went out to set up a stall with her immobile husband, she would be looked down upon.

You might even get harassed by hooligans.

He would rather not go to school than let his older brother and younger sister-in-law suffer because of him.

The two were discussing this matter in the yard when Jing Qishan in the house heard it.

Jing Qishan called out from inside the house: "Li Yujiao, Chun Ge, come in for a moment."

Li Yujiao and Chun Ge knew that Jing Qishan must have heard them talking.

People who are bedridden for a long time have particularly acute hearing.

After they went in, they saw Jing Qishan lying on the bed with a serious expression.

"Is Chun Ge'er going to school?" Jing Qishan asked.

Chun Ge shook his head.

Li Yujiao nodded, "I do have this plan."

Jing Qishan looked at Chun Ge like an elder, and said earnestly: "Chun Ge, it's time for you to go to school. You are already ten years old. If you don't go to school, you won't even be able to recognize big characters in the future."

Chun Ge said: "I can recognize some characters. My mother taught me some of them. I can also write my own name."

"But it's not enough." Jing Qishan knew Chun Ge's situation. After taking him to the military camp in his previous life, he couldn't understand the defense maps and couldn't read the books on military strategy.

Although Jing Qishan didn't quite understand at the beginning, he was a good fighter and could learn slowly, but Chun Ge was not.

Therefore, Jing Qishan hoped that he would go to school, learn to read and write, and go to the town to make a living in the future, so that he would not have to follow him to the battlefield.

"Brother Chun, you don't have to worry about me. I'm much better now. You see, I can even pee by myself, right?" Jing Qishan said casually.

Chun Ge said directly: "You can pee by yourself, but I still have to empty the potty."

“…” This child doesn’t need to be so honest.

Li Yujiao had to put on airs at this time. She said seriously: "Chun Ge, listen to me, you must go to school. You can do the housework before and after school. I will be responsible for your big brother. Your task is to go to school well. Only by studying hard can you go further."

Chun Ge still disagreed and even cried, "If that's the case, then you are too tired, little sister-in-law. You already offended my eldest sister-in-law, and you provide me with food and clothing, and buy me clothes to wear. I haven't repaid you yet, and you want to support my studies again!"

Li Yujiao said: "Brother Chun, listen, I don't need an illiterate person who works at home every day. An illiterate person is someone who only knows how to work all his life and knows nothing else. Such a person is worthless in my eyes.

I want someone who will be well-educated and well-mannered in the future. Even if it's a little hard now, as long as you finish your studies, your future life will not be bad. Otherwise, do you plan to do hard work in this village for the rest of your life? If you do hard work for the rest of your life, what will happen to my sister-in-law when she gets old? Will she be able to rely on you?"

Chun Ge understood.

He now cares a lot about what his sister-in-law thinks of him. If his sister-in-law needs someone who only knows how to clean and cook every day, then he will clean and cook every day.

But what his sister-in-law needed was someone who was well-educated, able to read and write, so he became someone who was well-educated, able to read and write.

He wiped away his tears and said, "My sister-in-law doesn't like farmers who stay in the village to work all the time. She likes educated people. I am willing to go to school."

Li Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief.

If she wasn't destined to be with Chun Ge, she wouldn't have bothered to worry about whether he studied or not.

For example, she was too lazy to worry about children like Jing Youfu.

……

Because Chun Ge had to go to school and Li Yujiao had to set up a stall during the day, Li Yujiao had to pull Jing Qishan over to set up the stall together.

She added another layer on top of the cart, let Jing Qishan sleep on the lower layer, put the bread on the upper layer, and then covered it with an oil umbrella to protect the bread from the sun and rain.

Then he took Jing Qishan to the town.

She is very strong and doesn't feel tired.

When they reached the bridge, she put the bread down first, then placed Jing Qishan and the mat behind her, and held up an oil-paper umbrella to protect him from the sun.

Then put out the bread.

After finishing these tasks, a news scene suddenly emerged in her mind: a 17-year-old wife dragged her paralyzed husband out to set up a stall in order to make a living!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

Jing Qishan happened to see her, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it so funny to pose paralyzed?" Li Yujiao looked at Jing Qishan, and thought that he was the "paralyzed husband" behind his wife, and she couldn't help but find it even funnier.

Jing Qishan said: "It's inexplicable!"

But he was also in a very good mood.

He usually lies in bed and looks at the beams every day. Now that Li Yujiao has brought him out, he can finally see many people.

Moreover, he could now see exactly what she did outside, unlike before when he would lie in bed and wonder every day, always suspecting whether she was hooking up with other men outside.

"Hey, little lady, who is this?"

A nearby vendor selling tofu pudding saw Li Yujiao bringing a man over and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Yujiao introduced generously: "This is my husband."

"Your husband? He's a paralytic?" the tofu pudding seller was surprised.

Li Yujiao said, "It's true that I can't walk yet."

The uncle selling tofu pudding looked at Jing Qishan, then at Li Yujiao, and couldn't help but sympathize with Li Yujiao: "It's hard for you."

A few days ago, this uncle saw that Li Yujiao's bread business was booming and was quite dissatisfied with her, always wanting to exclude her. Now that he saw that she had a paralyzed husband, the uncle took the initiative to free up some space in the stall to make it more convenient for Li Yujiao to set up a stall.

The wonton and candied fruit sellers nearby also felt sorry for Li Yujiao when they saw this. They decided not to compete with Li Yujiao for the stall space anymore!

The uncle selling candied haws asked Li Yujiao: "Why did you bring your husband out? Isn't there anyone at home to take care of him?"

Li Yujiao said: "No one cares. Ever since he became paralyzed, my mother-in-law forced us to separate. My family also cut off ties with me. If I wasn't afraid that he would poop and pee in bed, I wouldn't have brought him out."

"Tsk tsk, what a miserable life."

Jing Qishan said nothing and just watched Li Yujiao acting pitiful.

As the saying goes, there is no business without fraud, and he understands it.

Besides, it is really not easy for Li Yujiao. Fortunately, she is strong, otherwise, if it were any other woman dragging a husband out to set up a stall, she would be exhausted to death.

It was almost noon and business at the bread stall was gradually picking up.

Some people who used to always bargain, or ask Li Yujiao to give a lower price when buying three, are now too embarrassed to bargain when they see her paralyzed husband behind her.

Some aunties even went to the back to watch Jing Qishan.

"My dear, your husband is quite handsome. If he hadn't had any health problems, you would be so happy."

"Yes, look at these long arms and legs, and this mouth is a mouth, and this nose is a nose."

"..."

Jing Qishan did not avoid it. When people looked at him, he also looked at others. He was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but his long eyelashes made him look more gentle and delicate, which made the aunties blush.

The aunts comforted him shyly: "Young man, take good care of yourself, you will get better in the future!"

Jing Qishan lay there, sometimes turning over, sometimes practicing raising his hands.

After the wave of sales at the bridgehead was completed, Li Yujiao took him to the entrance of the college.

Just like what happened at the bridge head, as soon as Li Yujiao pushed Jing Qishan out, the vendors here became curious and asked who he was.

However, the vendors here are not as good as those at the bridge head. Because Li Yujiao's bread business is booming, the middle-aged man selling stinky tofu has long disliked her.

The stinky tofu owner mocked her: "Since you have a husband to take care of at home, why don't you come out to set up the stall every day? Can't you stay at home and serve your husband?"

Another auntie who was selling osmanthus cakes also glared at Jing Qishan, "That's right, I think you are really obsessed with money. Your husband is already in such a state, and you still bring him out to be exposed to the wind and sun. I think you wish you could torture him to death so that you can remarry soon, right?"

Li Yujiao didn't want to argue with these people and just focused on setting up her stall.

However, Jing Qishan, who was put aside, had a fierce and sharp expression in his eyes, as if he would take their lives at any time.

When the stinky tofu boss and the osmanthus cake lady saw his eyes, they shuddered.

Is this person really paralyzed or just faking it?

Aunt Osmanthus Cake plucked up her courage and bared her teeth at Jing Qishan, trying to pretend to be a ghost to scare him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jing Qishan's upper body suddenly straightened up. This sudden movement frightened Aunt Osmanthus Cake and made her step back. She couldn't stand steadily for a moment and fell to the ground, breaking one leg of her bench.

"Oh my god, are you really paralyzed or just pretending? Do you want to scare me to death?"

Jing Qishan said coldly: "If you make trouble again, I might really get up and beat you up!"

Aunt Osmanthus Cake was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Li Yujiao turned around and felt that Jing Qishan was both infuriating and funny.

Although he can now turn over and move his limbs, and is no longer paralyzed, his current fighting ability is not even able to beat a three-year-old child. And he is away from home, so he has to endure it.

Why does he have to provoke those people?

At this time, the bell for the end of class rang.

The students poured out.

Most of the students went home directly, and only a small number of students rushed to the snack stalls in front of the college entrance.

After all, only a few students have pocket money in their pockets.

However, most of this small group of students rushed directly to Li Yujiao's bread stall.

Because bread is a new thing, students in the college have recently been proud to have eaten the bread made by Li Yujiao, which is equivalent to a modern internet celebrity snack.

Seeing the long queue at the bread stall while the snack stall next to it was deserted, the stinky tofu uncle and the osmanthus cake aunt hated Li Yujiao so much.

Li Yujiao had to collect money and hand out bread to the students, so she had no time to care what the vendor next door thought.

Only Jing Qishan, who was lying on the ground, felt that danger was coming.

The auntie who was selling osmanthus cake next door saw Li Yujiao busy, and as her place had no business, she walked towards Jing Qishan.

She observed carefully and found that although Jing Qishan could move, he couldn't even sit. Once he started to fight, he could only be controlled by others!

So Osmanthus Cake planned to come over and pretend to accidentally step on Jing Qishan. It was because he scared her that now she didn't even have a bench to sit on!

Jing Qishan looked at Aunt Osmanthus Cake walking towards him viciously. As long as he called Li Yujiao, Li Yujiao would come to save him.

But he just didn't want to trouble Li Yujiao. The woman was selling goods and collecting money happily. If he called her, she would definitely blame him for being nosy.

He wanted to continue to scare the old lady away with his eyes.

But the auntie already knew his strength, so she was not afraid, and sneered: "You finally fell into my hands this time, hehe!"
