Chapter 24 How Can I Not Want to Study?

"Brother, you misunderstood. I was discussing with my parents which courtyard to buy so that it would be more convenient for you to study with Mr. Wu!"

The sister's clear words seemed to come from far away, shattering the chaos in the boy's mind.

Zhou Chi looked up and saw his sister looking at him helplessly.

"But where do we get the money..." to buy a yard?

He knew that he had been given ten taels of silver when the family property was divided, but it was not free for them to stay at his maternal grandfather's house.

The courtyards in the town have a minimum of dozens of taels and a maximum of hundreds of taels.

Even if my mother and aunt started a business, it has only been a short time...

"Oh, don't worry about that. Just wait until we move to a new house!"

Zhou Lingling stood on tiptoe and patted her brother's shoulder.

Just now, she saw the young man standing in the night, as if he was about to be overwhelmed by disappointment and about to break apart.

So she quickly spoke up to explain.

Hey!

Her eldest brother is smart, but he is too sensible.

Why can’t she share some of her second brother’s heartlessness!

A warm feeling surged in Zhou Chi's heart, and he looked at his sister with gratitude.

How could you not want to study?

Whenever possible.

If farmers like them want to change their own and their family's fate, they can either work hard or study.

When he came to the town in the past, he once saw Mr. Xie's nephew beat an old vegetable seller to death in the street. His family reported the case to the authorities, but no one dared to intervene.

He didn't want that one day his family would be like ants, being crushed to death without being able to do anything about it!

To think about it in a more modest way, the eldest wife’s grandparents favored her because her cousin was studying, while their family was bullied.

So he kept studying, hoping that one day he could change all this!

Fortunately, his family has always supported him...

In just a short while, Zhou Lingling and her family made the important plan to buy a house.

But plans couldn't change quickly enough, and they didn't have time to find a suitable yard.

But the people from the Zhou family found them first.

At noon that day, Chen was packing up the stall like her sister-in-law as usual.

Their braised food has become quite famous now. Many people line up to buy it every day, and it is sold out by noon every day.

The aunt and sister-in-law wanted to cook more and sell them in the afternoon, but Zhou Lingling stopped them.

Firstly, I don’t want Chen and my aunt to work too hard, and secondly, it’s because of hunger marketing.

Limited edition items will make those who buy them feel more accomplished, and will also attract those who don’t buy them to buy them.

Just as the two of them were packing up, someone passing by asked Chen, "Madam Chen, are you coming as usual tomorrow?"

Chen no longer had the awkwardness she had when she first opened the shop, and said in a clear voice, "Yes, Auntie, please come early tomorrow and I'll save it for you."

The old lady carried the basket and left with satisfaction.

Chen was about to turn around and put a few pots in the backpack when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Second sister-in-law, where is my second brother?"

Zhou Laosan's sudden appearance in front of the braised food stall wiped out Chen's excitement of the past few days.

"It's my third brother..."

Chen suppressed her smile, put the basin into her backpack, and said, "Your second brother is working at the dock. If you want to find him, go there!"

After saying that, Chen ignored him.

She no longer wants to bother with anyone from the Zhou family.

Although it was said that most of the money earned by my husband was given to the eldest wife Zhou Zhi for his studies, in fact the third wife did not suffer any loss either.

Whatever Sun got from the old lady, Qian could also get it within two days.

The eldest son and grandson are treated like slaves by the second branch of the family.

Zhou Laosan stared at the several basins in Chen's backpack, one of which exuded a fragrance he had never smelled before.

No wonder the villagers said that his second sister-in-law made a lot of money in town...

This fragrance is absolutely amazing!

"Second sister-in-law, I...I haven't eaten yet."

Zhou Laosan stood firmly in front of the stall, with an attitude of "I won't leave unless you give me food."

Chen stood there in a daze.

What does it have to do with me that you didn’t eat?

At this time, Aunt Chen, who had just moved the table board to the meat stall with Uncle Chen, also came out. When they went back, they just needed to take the remaining seasonings and the bowls for tomorrow's braised food.

"Huh? Isn't this my third uncle?"

Aunt Chen looked puzzled: "Are you coming to town to buy something for your family?"

When facing Aunt Chen, Zhou Laosan seemed much more polite.

"No... no, it's my mother who's sick. She asked me to come find my second brother..."

Aunt Chen suddenly realized: "My aunt-in-law is sick? That's really..." It was so exciting.

"Since you're looking for your brother-in-law, he's at the dock. Go quickly, uncle!"

She showed a look of regret and said, "I finally made it to town. I wanted to invite my third uncle to visit me, but my aunt is sick and my third uncle must be worried. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely invite him to dinner at my home!"

Seeing Zhou Laosan's face as if he was about to speak but hesitant, Chen lowered her eyes and suppressed a smile. She didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so mischievous...

After sending Zhou Laosan away, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter: "Sister-in-law, you are really like this!"

She stretched out her right hand and raised her thumb, which her daughter had just taught her. It means to praise someone for being great.

Aunt Chen rolled her eyes at her in annoyance and said, "You and your brother-in-law are just too good-natured. You'll come up to suck your blood no matter how good or bad the food is. The old lady is in good health. She's sick now, so who knows what's going on!"

Zhou Lingling felt the same way.

Mrs. Chen and her aunt returned home and told Zhou Lingling and Old Lady Chen about this.

Zhou Lingling's expression turned strange.

If she remembered correctly, the old lady had pretended to be sick not long ago in order to prevent her from coming to her grandparents' house and to make her stay at home to take care of the old lady.

"Well... Mom, are you sure Third Uncle is here to see my dad?"

Are you really not here to see her?

Mainly because as a cannon fodder female supporting role, Zhou Lingling is still very self-aware.

The main theme is "Everything that happens is not good for me"!

Chen nodded: "Yes, your third uncle just said that your grandmother is sick and asked him to come find your father."

Old Mrs. Chen snorted, "What good can that old hag say? She's probably just faking it, either for the money or the land."

Back then, that old woman even wanted to snatch back the money that was given to her daughter's family. What a shameless thing!

Zhou Lingling nodded in agreement.

"Grandma's words make sense. It's impossible that they suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to take a look at my father..."

"Who cares? You'll find out when your father comes back."

Chen said she didn't care, but she knew in her heart that although her husband was strong, he was a straightforward person. The people in the Zhou family were all as cunning as a sieve. She might be deceived...

By the afternoon, Zhou Laoer still hadn't returned. Chen, who had been worried all afternoon, felt very uneasy.

"My dear, your father couldn't have really been deceived by your grandmother, could he?"

Zhou Lingling was happily watching a few green sprouts emerging from the wooden trough her grandfather had made specifically for her. When she heard her mother's words, she replied without even looking up:

"Mom, don't worry. My dad doesn't have any money. Even if he gets cheated, he'll come back to you for the money. We just won't give it to him."

So, women still have to be the head of the household!

Chen seemed to think about it and felt that what her daughter said made sense, but she still asked without giving up:

"What if they're interested in your father?"

Zhou Lingling: “…”

Zhou Lingling never expected that her mother's random guess would come true.
