Everyone gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and the first thing the village head said at the meeting was to clean up the bad habits in the clan.

Widow Sun has behaved improperly and is no longer the daughter-in-law of our Song family. Let her go back to where she came from.

Because of Song Erlang's incident, the Song family has been keeping a low profile these days, and Song Dashi hardly goes out.

So when the village chief wanted to hold a meeting, it was Old Lady Song who came out. When she heard that Widow Sun was going to be driven away, she immediately became excited.

They said that Widow Sun was not only unruly but also a jinx. Originally, their family was harmonious and everything was going well.

It was because of Widow Sun that their family was in turmoil.

It was said that she was behind the scenes, so Song Sanzhu was deceived and divorced his first wife. It was also she who secretly made trouble, causing Chunsheng and his sister to break off their relationship.

It was said that she had defeated Sizhu so much that he lost his hands, defeated Sanzhu so much that he became paralyzed, and defeated Erlang so much that he lost his soul.

Old Lady Song cursed and cried as she spoke, as if she was the most wronged person in the world.

"She's a jinx, a disaster. Ever since we married her, our family has been in dire straits. If you don't believe me, just look at my San'er. He became paralyzed after marrying her, but now, within two days of divorcing her, he can stand up again."

"She is a disaster. Let her go and leave our Song family alone."

Everyone looked at Song Sanzhu, who stood upright and walked around in the crowd.

It’s true.

How's Song Sanzhu?

After all, the last time he fought with Song Erlang, everyone saw him lying down, and later he was carried back. As for how he appeared by the river, everyone speculated that he might have wanted to commit suicide and crawled there.

Later, seeing that he had come to terms with it, the matter was deliberately ignored. Why bring it up? Was it to remind him? What if he became depressed and tried to commit suicide again?

Everyone has seen how paralyzed Song Sanzhu was before. Although he is thinner now, he can move freely.

Could it be that Widow Sun really was the unlucky one?

No one can explain the mysterious things, so it is better to believe them than not to believe them. After all, Widow Sun is not without a place to go. She still has a house in her ex-husband's family and her parents' family.

Then listen to the village head. It's better to drive away such a shameful person. Don't let a single bad apple spoil the whole bunch.

Song Jinxiu took her mother home, and the mother and daughter went to the warehouse to choose fabrics.

Yes, now they also have a warehouse at home.

In fact, it is just a room where Song Jinxiu can move things out.

Now that there are more people in the family, we need a place to store rice, flour, grain, oil, cotton and cloth.

The mother and daughter were discussing how to make clothes when Song Jinfang ran in from outside.

"Sister, the old patriarch wants you to attend a meeting."

Song Jinxiu was stunned, "Didn't our brother go there?"

Song Jinfang said: "The old patriarch said that you must go."

She was watching the fun with excitement when the old patriarch came to call people, and told her to call her sister over.

The old patriarch: Speaking of the private school, how can Xiu girl not come? If she doesn’t come, how can she gather prestige in the hearts of the people? How can she take over the position of patriarch without prestige?

Song Jinxiu had no doubts. Since it was the old patriarch who had given the order, she just went.

Song Jinxiu washed her hands and went out, while Song Jinfang excitedly and vividly told her mother the story of driving away Widow Sun.

After dealing with Widow Sun, the village head began to talk about Jinxiu's plan to open a private school in the village. Just as he finished speaking, Song Jinxiu arrived.

The village had a private school, which was a great thing. Everyone was immediately excited. When they saw Song Jinxiu coming, they all rushed over.

"Xiu'er, how much does private school cost per year? Can my son get in?"

"Xiu girl, no matter how much it costs, you are my son."

"And my family, we're signing up too."

Song Jinxiu quickly said, "Don't worry, our village's private school is open to everyone. Third Grandma, not to mention your grandson Dazhuang, even if you want to learn to read, you can."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Song Jinxiu also laughed and said, "I'm not kidding. I've already discussed this with Second Grandpa. How about we hear what the village head has to say?"

Song Jinxiu emphasized the word "li zheng" to tell everyone that if they had any questions about this matter, they could just ask the li zheng.

The village head also waved his hand and prepared to speak, but the old clan leader knocked his raised hand down with his crutch. He shouted to Song Jinxiu, "Xiu girl, repeat what you said to your great grandfather today to everyone else."

"Oh," Song Jinxiu had no choice. Since the old patriarch had given the order, she had to repeat her plan.

It was noisy at first, but later it became very quiet. Everyone opened their mouths, listening as if to a foreign language, understanding every word and at the same time understanding none of it.

After Song Jinxiu finished speaking, she was speechless after seeing everyone's reactions.

What's going on? What are you all standing there for? Are you unwilling or what?

Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you.

Fatty's father came over and said, "Brother Qingshan, pinch me."

Song Qingshan asked in confusion: "Why would I pinch you?"

"Pinch me if I tell you to. I'll see if I'm dreaming."

Aunt Huozi suddenly screamed, "You damn Huozi, why are you pinching me?"

Huozi said in a muffled voice, "I know it hurts, it seems this is not a dream."

Suddenly, everyone became excited again.

"Xiu girl, don't lie to your aunt. Is this private school really free?"

Song Jinxiu nodded: "Didn't I tell you that all the expenses of the private school will be deducted from the side business? As long as you are from our village, no matter how old you are, as long as you want to learn to read, you can learn for free."

No one knows what a side job is. Many people have never even heard of oil pressing. They only know about lard, but have never heard that soybeans can produce oil.

Who hasn't eaten cooked soybeans? Can they produce oil? Or tofu?

I don't believe it, so I am skeptical about opening private schools and providing free education for children.

Old Lady Song snorted coldly, "Humph, that damn girl is just talking big with empty words, it's embarrassing."

Old Lady Song hated this girl because she had money and gave it to others but was reluctant to give even a penny to her grandparents.

Let people go to school for free? You really have too much money to burn, what a fool.

Mai Sui's mother immediately agreed: "That's right, no wonder you guys don't want her anymore, aunt. I think she just has some money to support herself. Does she think running a private school is just a 100 or 80 cents? Humph! I think she's just making fun of the villagers!"

This child is an ungrateful person. She won't remember even if she is nice to her ten times, but she will turn her back on her once she is not nice to her.

Grandma Wu glared at the two of them and said, "Shut up! If you have the guts, just don't send your children to this school. Why are you making such sarcastic remarks?"

Everyone also cast condemning glances. As long as Jinxiu could hire a teacher and open a private school, if there was not enough money, everyone could pool their money. Does anyone want to take advantage of her for free?

The thing is, the fact that Xiu Yatou could say this shows that she has the heart. Unlike some people, who would expect a lifetime of gratitude for a little love.

The old patriarch looked at the child and wondered where the enthusiasm he had for talking to them had gone. He finished his words in just a few words?

He tapped his son's leg with his cane. "What are you standing there for? Repeat to me exactly what the girl said."

Village head: Who stopped me from speaking just now?

"Dad, the girl was quoting a lot from classics, and I was so excited that I didn't remember anything."

The old patriarch looked disappointed and whispered to him, "Learning to read and write is a major issue for the country and for our Song family. Go, go and tell them."

"Dad, why don't you tell me about the oil pressing. I remember it clearly."

The old patriarch glared at him and said, "All you think about is money, money, money. Where's your vision?"

Village head: Only when you have money can you have a broad vision, Dad!
