Bai Zhizhi met his eyes, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

She stopped what she was doing and looked at him seriously.

"Now that you've passed the exam, you should go. Didn't you hear what Grandpa said? You're amazing! Just focus on school and don't worry about anything else."

"Yes!"

Under Bai Zhizhi's intermittent patting, Ruibao slowly closed his eyes.

The sudden strong wind made the windows creak.

Bai Zhizhi got up from the kang, closed the window tightly, and then lay back down on the kang.

Liu's words during the meal came to mind again.

Now that the face issue has been resolved, the most important thing is to let Ruibao go to school. As for the other things, we can talk about them later.

Perhaps the most important thing had been resolved, she lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

The other rooms are not so simple.

"What are you doing tossing and turning?"

Qian, unable to bear it any longer, turned her head and said helplessly.

It was getting late and he had to go to the fields to work tomorrow, but Zhou Changsheng beside him kept turning over.

The noise made her lose all desire to sleep.

"Ah! Although what the eldest brother's wife said today was unpleasant, it got to the point."

"We can't just let Ruibao go to school alone. Children like Zhou Ying and Zhou Yu are also old enough to study."

It costs a lot of money to send one child to school, let alone two.

No wonder Liu was anxious.

Zhou Changsheng sat up from the kang, then took out a pipe from the drawer, lit it with a match and took a puff.

"Then... should we use the public funds to subsidize them?"

As soon as Qian said this, Zhou Changsheng immediately became anxious.

"I dare not say that!"

He extinguished his pipe, placed it on the table, and then whispered, "All three families took some of the money from the public treasury, especially Zhizhi and her friends, who contributed quite a bit. If it were to be used to subsidize the eldest family, the other two families would naturally be unwilling to do so."

Just like when they were having dinner today, no matter how Liu and Bai Zhizhi argued, he remained silent.

Both of them are daughters-in-law. No matter who you speak for, it will inevitably make the other party feel disappointed.

The same applies to public money.

"What should we do then?" Qian sighed silently.

The old couple had nothing else except the wages given by Bai Zhizhi and the income from the land.

But those are what they need for their retirement!

"Let's take it one step at a time. If the old family is really short of money, we can only give our own money to Changjiang."

All three sons are Zhou Changsheng’s biological children, so he naturally hopes the best for everyone.

"However, we need all three families to be present, and then we can have the Liu family sign an IOU."

IOUs and the like are secondary; he mainly wants to be fair.

He didn't want anything else to happen in his home which had already calmed down.

"That's all it will be."

Qian echoed.

She lay back on the kang, thinking that the matter had been resolved and she could finally have a good sleep.

Never thought...

"You know what, Ruibao still has a lot of potential. He actually managed to get ninth place."

"If you ask me, this kid really has Zhizhi's talent!"

Zhou Changsheng lay back in bed and blurted out these words out of the blue.

Qian's face changed.

But what made her angry was yet to come.

"I remember that Zhizhi's father was a very smart man. Now it seems that this is inherited from the Bai family."

Hearing the latter sentence, Qian turned her body back.

It's obvious that I don't want to talk to him.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the other person looked unhappy, the man stepped forward and asked.

I praised Ruibao, why is he not happy?

"What do you mean by taking after Zhizhi? It can't be taking after our third child!"

"I know you admire Zhizhi, but what you said is a bit too biased."

Qian was so angry that she closed her eyes.

Zhou Changsheng then realized that he had said the wrong thing, but no matter how he coaxed the other person, he didn't say a word.

Helplessly, he could only lie back on the kang.

Now we can only wait until Qian calms down before we can talk about anything else.
