After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Miao Cuihua looked hesitant.

Xie Linghe expressed his understanding and said readily, "Aunt Cuihua, you don't have to rush into making a decision. You can go back and discuss it with your uncle and the others before coming back to me."

Hear the words.

Miao Cuihua nodded: "Okay, I can't make up my mind, I'll go back and ask Hu Zi's father."

"Uh-huh."

Xie Linghe: "Aunt Cuihua, I won't say any more to you. I'm leaving now."

Miao Cuihua nodded: "Okay."

Xie Linghe ignored the strange looks from the people around him. He walked through the crowd with a calm expression and steady steps, gradually walking away.

Behind.

Everyone was talking about it.

Someone looked at Miao Cuihua and said, "Cuihua, are you really planning to pay to send Hu Zi to Xie Linghe?"

Someone immediately echoed.

"Yes~"

"It's so heartless to charge money from fellow villagers."

Hear this.

Miao Cuihua retorted without hesitation: "Why not charge? I told my sister that we would provide pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Don't these cost money?"

As soon as she said that.

Several people also echoed: "There are books, can we read them for free?"

"Two hundred coins for two months of study, how much can He Jie'er earn?! Don't bully me just because I'm a girl."

"That's right, I've been fed up with it for a long time."

"My sister and I didn't ask you to pay. If you want to study, go ahead. If you don't want to go, don't go. What's the point of saying bad things about them behind their backs?"

"..."

Hear the words.

The gossipers were furious: "That's right, she's just a little girl, what's the point of teaching? She doesn't even know the Three Obediences and Four Virtues."

"Yes, women should do their duty. Teaching is a man's job."

"I'm doing this for her own good. If she's so unconventional, who would marry her in the future?"

"..."

"I can't stand what you're saying. Is that rule that only men can teach?"

"Why are you so rebellious? Did you do something shameful with my sister? How come I don't know about it?"

"Who will marry her? If He Jie'er could like my son, I would immediately burn incense to my ancestors for eighteen generations. Unfortunately, He Jie'er will never like my son."

"..."

"You, you are simply unreasonable."

"..."

The two sides started arguing.

Suddenly, a female voice interrupted: "He Jie'er is not someone you can easily mess with. Think about what happened to Li Da Jiao. You'd better pray that He Jie'er doesn't hear it, otherwise..."

As soon as these words came out.

The whole place fell silent.

The faces of the few people who spoke ill of Xie Linghe turned pale and blue. They looked at each other for the last time, then turned around and left tacitly.

slip away.

There's no need to start a verbal fight. If you really get beaten up, you can't afford to offend me. I really can't afford to offend you...

In this regard.

The others burst into laughter.

"Coward!"

"I thought it was fierce, but this is it?"

"No wonder you only dare to say it behind my back!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

"..."

Xie Linghe knew nothing.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Miao Cuihua brought Xie Hu to visit.

Hearing Miao Cuihua's words, Xie Linghe opened his eyes slightly and confirmed, "Aunt Cuihua, have you really thought it through? You won't regret it?!"

"Yeah, I've thought about it."

Miao Cuihua said firmly: "I have brought the money, two hundred coins, right? I will give it to you now..."

Before she could finish speaking.

A voice sounded from outside the house: "Is Sister He here?"

Xie Linghe looked over and was slightly surprised: "Aunt Hehua, what's the matter?"

Wang Hehua cautiously probed: "He Jie'er, my Xiaofeng also wants to learn to read, can you accept him?"

Xiaofeng, full name Li Feng.

He is about the same age as Xie Dafang and is also from Xinghua Village, but he is not from the Zhao family.

After listening.

She was even more surprised: "Aunt Hehua, you said to send Xiaofeng over?!"

"Ah."

Wang Hehua said sincerely, "Xiaofeng has always loved reading, but his father and I don't have the ability to support him in his studies, so we've delayed him for so many years. When he heard that Dafang could read and write, he was extremely envious. His father and I have felt guilty all these years. We can afford the two hundred coins, so letting him study with you for two months can be considered as a way to ease his regret."

It is difficult for people from poor families to make a name for themselves.

Many times, it is not that the lower class people are stupid, but that it is difficult for them to maintain the most basic survival and they simply do not have the money to study for the imperial examinations.

Hear this.

Xie Linghe felt quite touched.

She didn't refuse: "Okay."

Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching.

Wang Hehua was delighted: "Great, He Jie'er, two hundred coins for the tuition, right? I brought the money, I'll give it to you now."

Hear this.

Miao Cuihua also echoed: "And me."

Xie Linghe waved his hand. "Aunts, don't rush to pay me. I'm still teaching Dafang and the others, and I expect to finish by the end of the month."

"Now that Brother Huzi and Brother Xiaofeng are here, their progress is different. How about we wait until the first of next month to teach them? What do you think?"

Hear this.

Miao Cuihua and Wang Hehua looked at each other and nodded together: "Okay."

Xie Linghe smiled: "Then it's settled."

Done.

The two left.

Xie Linghe thought it was already a surprise that two people came to see her, and there wouldn't be anyone else.

result.

The two walked for half an hour.

More people came, and they were in a group of three.

Ask clearly what your purpose is.

They all want to study here.

Xie Linghe was shocked, but he agreed to everything and set the date for the first of next month.

Send them away.

She was lost in thought.

"Many people in the village said that I, a girl, was not a good parent. I thought no one would let me teach them, but I didn't expect so many people to ask me..."

aside.

Xie Lingfen chuckled, "Sister, you're just confused by the situation. It's a foregone conclusion that Dafang will be the accountant. Even if Second Uncle exaggerated your contribution, it's only two hundred coins. If they win the bet, they'll make a fortune."

"Besides, the tuition is only two hundred coins, which is something any family can afford. There are many people like Xiao Feng from Aunt Hehua's family. It's worth it to fulfill the child's wish."

Xie Linghe thought thoughtfully: "You are right."

She didn't think about it anymore.

Noon.

When Xie Zhongji and the other two learned about this, they all exclaimed in surprise.

Xie Zhongji: "There are so many people?"

Xie Jijun: "Hasn't the elder sister already earned a tael of silver?!"

Xie Shuze: "Big sister is really amazing!"

"They have good vision. They won't regret it once they take the course."

Xie Lingai was full of admiration: "Big sister is so amazing! I want to be as amazing as you in the future."

Xie Linghe patted her head and said, "Yes, Xiao Ai will be very good too."

the village.

The news that Miao Cuihua and four others asked Xie Linghe to teach caused heated discussion in the village.

“I didn’t expect so many people to go!”

"This is two hundred coins. They are really willing to spend it. They are not afraid that it will not make a sound if it is thrown into the water."

"Could it be that Xie Linghe really has the ability?"

"Two hundred wen isn't expensive. If Xie Dafang is really taught by her, then we'll make a profit."

"..."

With these five people, many people who were originally interested became even more interested, and those who were originally indifferent also became a little shaken.

The next few days.

Xie Linghe meets with one or two villagers every day who want to send their children to study here.

Classes can start now.
