Wealthy beyond measure, yet you call me a sister-supporting-brother demon?

“Brother-in-law, of course, no problem. If the three children can keep up with their studies, we’ll send them to a private school.” Having lived three generations, Yuan Sheng naturally knew the importance of education.

Sending your son to a private school so he can have a chance to take the imperial examinations and change his family's fortunes? Which farmer's son wouldn't want that? But how much money would it cost? A family can't even afford to support one child, let alone three.

Zhao Mingde gave a wry smile. "Bao'er, we don't ask for too much. It's enough if the three of them can recognize some characters."

Yuan Nian'er scolded, "You're talking nonsense."

Yuan Sheng slapped his forehead, realizing he had completely forgotten to mention the most important thing: "Sister, brother-in-law, don't worry about the tuition fees. I'll take care of it."

"Hey! You're getting more and more carried away!" Yuan Nian'er patted Yuan Sheng on the back.

Zhao Mingde digested the information he had heard today. Judging from his brother-in-law's appearance, he didn't seem to be bragging, but rather genuinely thought he had made a fortune. "Yuanbao, from what you're saying, you've made a fortune. Even if you're rich, you still have to be careful with your money. Do you know how much it costs to support one student, let alone three? I know you want to help us, but we can't burden you like this."

Yuan Nian'er also realized that Yuan Sheng wasn't just saying it casually, but was serious. "Yuan Bao'er, if it's a small favor, I will never refuse to help my sister and brother-in-law, but you said this is too big a deal."

Yuan Nian'er was willing to believe her younger brother, who had made a fortune in just over ten days. What he said seemed true, but it was too unbelievable! Unless her brother was a god of wealth, how could he possibly do it? It was absolutely impossible!

Besides, she has three sons, and her other sisters have children. Would it be too expensive to send Yuanbao to a private school for them all? In short, we'll talk about everything after we see our parents.

Yuan Sheng wasn't in a hurry. "Let's not talk about this for now." Once his sister and brother-in-law fully understood the situation, they naturally wouldn't refuse. "By the way, Second Sister, how's Third Sister doing lately?"

Yuansheng's third sister, Yuanzhao'er, also married in Zhaogezhuang Town, but not in Zhaogezhuang Village, but in Xiatan Village. The two villages are about five or six miles apart, which is not far.

Yuan Nian'er sighed, "Originally, your third sister, brother-in-law, and I had agreed to go back to my parents' home together, but last night your third sister sent someone to say that we would not be going back for the time being."

Seeing his second sister's expression, Yuan Sheng guessed that his third sister was not doing well, and couldn't help but frown. "Second sister, what's going on?"

"What else could it be? It's still because of those things."

What were those things? Yuan Sheng wanted to punch himself. His mind was blank, and he had no recollection of them at all, which meant that he had never cared about his third sister's life before.

In the ten days or so since his rebirth, he'd been busy making money and dealing with his eldest sister's affairs, neglecting his other sisters. No, he had to put his studies and storybooks aside for now; he needed to visit his sisters first.

Originally, he thought that his parents had already sent a message to his sisters, asking them to come back to their parents' home as soon as possible to get the money, and he just needed to wait for his sisters to come back. But now it seems that's not going to work.

Take my third sister for example, isn't she still having a hard time?

Zhu Chenxi noticed her husband's subtle expression and asked with some concern, "Second sister, what exactly happened at third sister's house?"

"It's because Zhao'er hasn't given birth to a son yet, and has only given birth to four daughters in a row. Her mother-in-law said that Zhao'er's belly is like our mother's, and who knows how many daughters she will have before she can give birth to a son. So she has put Zhao'er through a lot of hardship."

Yuan Sheng frowned. "What did my third brother-in-law say?"

Zhao Mingde said, "Your third brother-in-law is quite helpful in taking care of Zhao'er, but since the family hasn't separated, he can't fight city hall."

Yuan Sheng nodded. "I'll go to my third sister's house tomorrow and see what's going on."

In this era, it was perfectly normal for women to be bullied and tormented for not being able to give birth to sons. Men who did not have sons would also feel ashamed, because without sons, the male line would be cut off from the family tree.

But this person is Yuan Sheng's older sister. Before his rebirth, it was one thing, but after his rebirth, Yuan Sheng would never allow anyone to bully his sisters. He would go to his third sister's house tomorrow to see what would happen and stand up for her.

Yuan Nian'er said, "That's perfect. We'll go back to Zhao Gezhuang tomorrow and visit Lao San together."

Zhaogezhuang is far from Shanhou Village, and it takes two days to go there and back. So every time Yuan Nian'er goes back to her parents' home, she has to stay at least one night.

Yuan Sheng thought for a moment and realized that there was really no place for his family to stay at home. His second sister's family was going to stay at a neighbor's house today, so he didn't try to persuade them to stay a few more nights.

We need to build a big house as soon as possible, otherwise the sisters won't have anywhere to stay if they want to go back to their parents' home.

Yuan Sheng and his friends chatted about everyday things and didn't get home until the afternoon.

Upon hearing the sound of the oxcart, Yu Chuan and his companions came out to greet them.

Yu Chuan had already finished all the lessons his aunt had assigned him and was just waiting for her to come back to teach. "Aunt, you're finally back!"

Are those my second aunt and her husband?

The three little ones quickly called for help.

Yuan Nian'er picked up Yuzhu and kissed her. She had three sons, and she loved the delicate and beautiful little girl the most.

Zhu Chenxi took out three candied hawthorns, "Come on, Yu Chuan, Yu Feng, Yu Zhu, have some candied hawthorns."

The three children's eyes lit up when they saw the candied hawthorns. They had only seen them before but had never eaten them. The shiny stuff looked like candy, and they had no idea how delicious candied hawthorns were.

Yu Feng swallowed hard, gulping down his saliva.

Zhu Chenxi first handed it to Yu Feng, then to Yu Zhu and Yu Chuan. She realized that among the three little ones, Yu Feng was the most greedy. No wonder he dreamed of holding Yu Chuan's toes as chicken legs and sucking on them.

Zhou Yufeng is losing his baby teeth; his two front teeth have fallen out and haven't grown back yet, but that doesn't stop him from eating candied hawthorns quickly.

He squinted, thinking, "It's so delicious, both sour and sweet!"

My uncle and aunt are so kind; ever since they came to my maternal grandmother's house, he's been living like a god.

Yu Chuan ate with a happy expression. Although he was only ten years old, he had always been treated like an adult at Old Zhou's house. In the end, he was still a child. He also liked to eat delicious food and play fun games.

He felt that since coming to his maternal grandmother's house, he had finally become a carefree child again.

Yuzhu was held in her second aunt's arms, taking small bites of candied hawthorn. She felt so happy. Back in Old Zhou's house, as a girl, she never got any of the good food, and even getting enough to eat depended on the rations her parents saved. At her maternal grandmother's house, she felt like a boy, a precious little darling of the family, and she was so happy.

Sheng Guihua and Yuan Laifu heard the commotion and came out to greet them.

"Nian'er, Mingde, you're finally back! Ever since I sent you a message, I've been looking forward to your return."

Yuan Laifu smiled broadly and grasped Zhao Mingde's hand with his rough, large hand, feeling warm and reassuring.

Zhao Mingde grasped his father-in-law's hand in return, "Father, how have you and Mother been lately?"
