In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi fell silent after hearing this. As a person from the 21st century, she naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with women coming to study, but the old scholars in ancient times could not stand it, so it seemed so "normal" that the gentleman rejected Su Yu.

"Okay! Then let's sign up for my brother first!" Su Zhizhi had no choice but to compromise when he saw that things had come to this point.

"Okay." The teacher nodded, then called Su Peizhi over, asked him a few simple questions, and wrote Su Peizhi's name in the booklet. After Su Zhizhi paid the tuition, he waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

In this way, Su Zhizhi left the school with the distraught Su Yu.

On the donkey cart, Su Zhizhi felt distressed when she saw Su Yu looking absent-minded. After thinking about it, Su Zhizhi decided to buy her a string of candied haws when she passed by the store later to comfort her.

After a while, the four of them arrived at the store.

Su Zhizhi took Su Yu's hand and said, "Let's go! I'll buy you a bunch of candied haws."

Su Yu was a child after all, and when she learned that she had candied haws to eat, she forgot about her previous worries.

"Okay! Sister, you are the best to me." Su Yu cheered happily. After that, she excitedly pulled Su Zhizhi to the candied haws stall.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, the four of them saw a familiar figure. This person turned out to be Liu Xiaohua.

I saw Liu Xiaohua wearing a lavender long dress, standing on the side of the road, looking around, not knowing what she was looking at.

At this moment, Liu Xiaohua suddenly turned around and looked at Su Zhizhi. After seeing Su Zhizhi, Liu Xiaohua walked towards everyone in ecstasy.

"Where did you go? It took me so long to find you!" Liu Xiaohua took the initiative to ask.

"We went to register the two children." Su Zhizhi answered truthfully.

"Have you all registered?" Liu Xiaohua asked.

Su Zhizhi shook her head helplessly when she heard that. "My sister didn't get the name because the teacher doesn't accept girls."

Su Zhizhi answered truthfully.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiaohua quickly said, "If you need it, I can provide you with help."

Su Zhizhi was immediately moved when she heard this, but before she could say anything, Xie Chengjin beside her refused without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't bother you with this matter."

Xie Chengjin refused without hesitation. He was afraid that Su Zhizhi would get carried away and ask Liu Xiaohua for help so that Su Yu could go to school. It was easy to do a favor but difficult to repay it.

Su Yu's first impression of Liu Xiaohua was not very good, because according to her observation, Liu Xiaohua seemed to be too enthusiastic towards them, as if he had a purpose, so Su Yu's vigilance was immediately aroused.

Seeing that her idea was rejected, Liu Xiaohua was not discouraged. She immediately opened her mouth and took the initiative to invite, "Mr. Xie, Miss Su, how about you two come to our Liu Mansion? We can drink tea, chat and get to know each other better."

When Su Zhizhi heard this, she suddenly felt overwhelmed. She still didn't understand what kind of person Liu Xiaohua was, so she didn't want to have any contact with her. At most, she wanted to use her to protect them from being bullied when they went to the town to sell vegetables.

Just as Su Zhizhi was thinking about how to politely decline Liu Xiaohua's invitation, Su Yu, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly squatted down and covered her stomach and said, "Sister, my stomach..."

Su Zhizhi's expression suddenly changed after seeing this scene. She hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

At the same time, Xie Chengjin and Su Peizhi also focused their attention on Su Yu.

"what happened?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yu pretended to be in great pain and nodded with difficulty, "Yes, my stomach hurts so much, I want to... go home."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi said to Liu Xiaohua without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, thank you for your warm invitation. It seems we can't go today. If there is a chance, we can make an appointment later!"

Seeing this, Liu Xiaohua couldn't say anything and could only force a smile and say, "Okay, then we can go again next time if we have the chance."

After seeing Liu Xiaohua's agreement, Su Zhizhi hurriedly carried Su Yu on her back and rushed home.

Looking at the backs of Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi as they left, Liu Xiaohua's face was twisted with anger, and the silk in her hand had been crumpled beyond recognition.

"Damn it, this damn girl ruined my good things. I will remember you. Just wait and see how I will deal with you when I enter your house next time." Liu Xiaohua said viciously.

Meanwhile, Su Zhizhi, Xie Chengjin and their two siblings had already returned home on a bumpy donkey cart.

As soon as she arrived home, Meng heard a noise in the yard and hurried out.

"How is it? Have they both signed up?" asked Meng.

"Su Peizhi has signed up, but Su Yu hasn't. The teacher didn't say they won't accept girls now." Su Zhizhi answered truthfully.

When Meng heard this, she immediately fell into deep thought.

When Su Yu heard Su Zhizhi's words, she pretended that nothing had happened, but her red eyes betrayed her.

Seeing Su Yu's expression, Meng couldn't help but say, "How about this! I used to be a daughter of a wealthy family, and I know quite a few words. Since you can't go to school, I'll teach you to read and write at home!"

When Su Yu heard that she could read and write again, she was immediately delighted and agreed immediately, "Okay, okay!"

Su Zhizhi felt relieved when she saw that the matter was almost resolved. This also gave Su Yu an explanation, so she wouldn't feel psychologically unbalanced.

after dinner.

"Peizhi, come here, I have something to talk to you about." Su Zhizhi said to Su Peizhi.

"Okay." Su Peizhi nodded obediently and agreed.

In this way, the two siblings came to the corner of the yard.

Su Zhizhi took out a purse and handed it to Su Peizhi. "Here, this is the money I earned these days. When school starts, this will be your living expenses."

Su Peizhi thought about it and took the purse. Then he took out half of the silver from the purse and handed the rest to Su Zhizhi.

"What are you doing!" Su Zhizhi asked in confusion.

"This money is enough for me. What's more, you gave me the rest of the money. What will you do when your stall needs funds to turn over in the future?" Su Peizhi looked at Su Zhizhi seriously.

Su Zhizhi hesitated for two seconds after hearing this, and finally nodded and agreed, "Okay, just tell me when you run out of money."

"Okay." Su Peizhi agreed obediently. If my elder sister doesn't have anything else to do, I'll go back to reading and practicing calligraphy. I heard that the teacher is very strict. If we can't write well or can't recite the text, he will beat us severely with a stick, so I have to contact him in advance to avoid being beaten.

"Okay, go ahead!" Su Zhizhi nodded.
