The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

After returning home, Li Xi never mentioned Madam Liu again, and neither did Hu Zi. They were just in a depressed mood for several days.

Li Xi no longer paid attention to Liu Niangzi's affairs. She had originally planned to purchase medicinal materials for resale, but now that she had Gu Yin as a partner, she was no longer in a hurry to do the medicinal materials business.

After all, this is not an easy thing to do, and she is not short of money now. Five hundred taels of silver is enough for her and Hu Zi to use for a long time. After Gu Yin returns, their cooperation will be rolled out, and she will continue to receive large sums of money.

Now that he had money and some free time, Li Xi planned to send Hu Zi to school. Li Xi didn't know much about going to school, so he packed his things and took Hu Zi to Li Changqing's house.

As soon as Li Xi knocked on Li Changqing's door, it was opened from the inside.

A seven or eight-year-old kid with a boyish hairstyle opened the door. "Who are you?"

Dong Fengxia heard the voice and came over, "Isn't this Daya? Come in quickly."

She welcomed Li Xi in and said, "This is our Shuwen. Shuwen, this is sister Daya and brother Huzi."

Li Shuwen cupped his hands, "Sister Daya, brother Huzi."

"Aunt, Shuwen's well-mannered appearance makes him different from other children in the village. He is worthy of being the only one in our village who has attended a private school." Li Xi said with a smile.

Li Shuwen is Dong Fengxia's youngest son and she is Dong Fengxia's favorite. Hearing Li Xi say this, he was extremely happy.

It happened to be a coincidence that the private school that Li Shuwen attended was in Jiangning City. He didn't have enough time to travel back and forth, so he usually lived in the private school. Today happened to be the day when the private school was on a one-month holiday and he was at home.

Dong Fengxia pulled Li Xi into the house and told Li Shuwen as they walked, "Shuwen, go review your lessons. I'll talk to your sister Daya."

Hu Zi was led into the house by Li Xi. As he walked in, he couldn't help but look back at Li Shuwen. He only withdrew his gaze when he saw Li Shuwen enter the house.

In the room, Li Changqing was sitting on a stool repairing a table. When he saw them come in, he put away his things and asked, "Daya is here."

Li Xi put the oil paper bag in her hand on the table, "This is brown sugar, it tastes best when soaked in water."

Dong Fengxia frowned, picked up the oil paper bag and stuffed it into Li Xi's hand, "What are you doing? You and Hu Zi are still young, take it back and drink it yourself."

Li Changqing also meant this. "The relationship between your father and I is here. If you have anything to say, just tell me. You don't need the things."

Li Xi put the things back on the table and said, "This is something Hu Zi and I brought specially for Uncle Chang Qing and Aunt Chang Qing. It's not something expensive.

If you don’t accept it, I don’t know what to say to you.”

"What's going on?" Li Changqing frowned when he heard her say that. Could it be that something strange happened in Ma Laoer's family again?

"I want to send Hu Zi to school, so I want to ask uncle what the rules are."

"Go to the academy?!"

Li Changqing and Dong Fengxia looked at Hu Zi beside Li Xi in surprise. Due to malnutrition, Hu Zi, who was already five years old, looked only three or four years old.

"Going to school requires a large sum of money. Does your mother know about this?" Dong Fengxia said.

There was a reason why she said that. To go to a private school, one had to pay a tuition fee, which had to be paid on the fifteenth day of the second month of every quarter. In a year, it would be one or two taels of silver, not to mention the money for buying pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as books. One also had to prepare student clothes by oneself.

Their family has a lot of land, and the eldest son is a carpenter. Their annual income is actually quite good, and they are one of the best in the village. But because there is a student in the family who attends private school, their life is very hard, and they have to grit their teeth even to eat meat.

Li Xi: "Aunt, you know her temper. I am the one who makes the decisions about our family affairs. Huzi is still young and can't help much at home. It's better to send him to school.

When my father was alive, he taught me and Huzi to read, and I think this is what he wanted."

Dong Fengxia patted Li Xi's shoulder with heartache. It was really hard for this girl to have a mother who couldn't handle the hardship and had to shoulder the responsibility of a family at such a young age.

Li Changqing sighed and said, "If that's the case, then let Huzi go. It was your father who told me to send Shuwen to the private school. He must have wanted his son to go too."

"Shuwen and his friends just started school not long ago. It's a good idea to send Huzi there now. He won't miss too many classes." Dong Fengxia touched Huzi's head. "Huzi is going to school soon. Are you happy?"

Hu Zi leaned against Li Xi and said, "I'm happy." He looked up at Li Xi and said, "Sister, I will study hard."

Study hard and provide for your sister in her old age. He remembered it all.

Li Xi found out what was needed to prepare for enrollment in the private school, and then took Hu Zi home.

Someone once said that money can't solve all problems, but most of the time money can solve 90% of the problems.

Li Xi was not worried about the tuition and the purchase of student uniforms. These were the easiest things to solve. All she needed was money, and she happened to have that.

But the problem is that the private school is in Jiangning City, and it is obviously unrealistic to run back and forth every day. But what if Hu Zi is allowed to live in the school?

Li Xi took a look at the tiny Hu Zi. He was so young and she felt worried.

How about I go and accompany him to study? Anyway, there is nothing to do now.

The more Li Xi thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea. After she sent Hu Zi to school, the villagers would guess that she had money. Then she would be like a child carrying gold through a busy city.

Even though I scared a lot of people with the knife at that time, when the time really came, all the evil spirits would definitely come out.

It’s not that Li Xi has no way to deal with them, but why would she bother if she has a Plan B.

If they move to the city, no one will know their background, and it will be more convenient to do anything.

On the way back, Li Xi met a lot of people. Everyone looked at her strangely. Li Xi frowned. What happened?

"Daya, your mother, that bitch, remarried?!" Mrs. Li rushed over with anger on her face. At this moment, she had forgotten the fear that Li Xi had brought to her before.

Li Xi was not surprised when she heard this. Instead, she felt that everything was settled. She felt Hu Zi holding her hand tightly.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Xi looked at Mrs. Li coldly.

Mrs. Li was furious with her attitude. She was not angry because Mrs. Liu remarried, but because the betrothal gift from Mrs. Liu's remarriage did not reach her.

"Was it your grandma, that old bitch, who instigated this? It must be her. What a shame! She has the nerve to pimp for her own daughter!

No, we can't just let it go like this. Your mother is the daughter-in-law of our Li family. We can't let her be with someone else without knowing the reason!" Granny Liu's eyes were shining. No matter what, she had to get the betrothal money back.
