In a certain room of the Liu family.

Chang Pingning was shocked when he heard that his sister wanted to be Meng Xia's student, and even regretted bringing Chang Pingyan to meet Meng Xia.

Ever since Chang Pingning heard Meng Xia's remarks about "playing ten or eight", she has never dared to look directly at Meng Xia, and was even worried that if she got close to her, she would contract some diseases.

"No." Chang Pingning refused decisively.

Chang Pingning's refusal frightened both Chang Pingyan and Meng Xia. Chang Pingning looked at the surprised expressions of the two people, and then glanced at Liu Qingwan. She vaguely saw the light of sympathy in Liu Qingwan's eyes.

Chang Pingning felt that Liu Qingwan on the side knew why he refused.

However, the atmosphere in the room became quiet for a moment because of Chang Pingning's sudden rejection.

Chang Pingning thought for a while, looked at the confused Chang Pingyan next to him, and deliberately pretended to be very enthusiastic and said: "Yanyan, you are here to work at the port and bake oysters for your brother. If you want When you are Mr. Meng’s student, you don’t have time to do things.”

Later, Chang Pingning introduced her sister Chang Pingyan to Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan. Of course, she omitted the part about Chang Pingyan learning to read from a teacher in Quyuan Village when she was a child. She just said that she wanted her sister to replace Ruilan. Her adjustments and arrangements for the two stalls at the port.

After Chang Pingning finished talking about the time arrangement, she felt her sleeve being pulled by her sister who was hiding behind her.

"My sister's stall is in the morning, and I can come to the school in Guojiacun in the afternoon to attend," Chang Pingyan said.

Chang Pingning was inexplicably relieved after hearing what his sister said.It would be okay if my sister was just listening. But if she were Meng Xia's student, it would be bad if she learned the unsightly thoughts from Meng Xia.

Meng Xia noticed Madam Chang's reaction of sighing with relief, and had some vague suspicions in her heart.But the little sister in front of her surprised her even more.

Meng Xia squatted down, looked directly into Chang Pingyan's eyes, and told her: "I am only half a bucket of water, but I can't teach students, so I can only teach them to read without restraint.

"If you also want to learn how to read, you can come to the school in Guojiacun to listen to my class at any time when you are free." Meng Xia said very modestly.

But Chang Pingyan believed Meng Xia's words. She raised her head proudly: "I'm different from others. I can read! When I was four or five years old, I studied with a gentleman from Quyuan Village for a few years, but later...

"My parents said it was useless for girls to study and could not take exams, so they asked me to stay at home and work." Chang Pingyan said, shrugging nonchalantly.

After Liu Qingwan heard Chang Pingyan's words, she sighed, walked to Chang Pingning and whispered: "Ms. Chang, your parents are actually right, 'It is virtue for a woman to have no talent.' Your sister has met. Too many words and understanding too many things are not good."

Chang Pingning didn't understand why Liu Qingwan said that, but she couldn't refute Liu Qingwan face to face, so she had to nod obediently.

However, Meng Xia seemed to be touched by something. She asked Chang Pingyan to wait for her for a while, then walked out of the room to get some pen and paper, and happened to miss the conversation between Liu Qingwan and Chang Pingning.

Meng Xia put a pen and paper in front of Chang Pingyan and asked her to write something she knew how to do. If she knew how to read, just write; if she could write articles, even better.

Chang Pingyan felt that Meng Xia valued her, but she took the pen and paper and told Meng Xia with some embarrassment that her previous husband had not taught her how to write articles, but had only memorized a few articles by sages.

Meng Xia nodded and chatted with Chang Pingyan in detail.Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan on the side had never seen Meng Xia's attitude like this before, and their eyes were full of confusion.

After Meng Xia and Chang Pingyan talked for a while, Chang Pingning saw his sister picking up a pen at the table and starting to write something.

Meng Xia walked up to Chang Pingning. She looked at Chang Pingning and asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Chang, don't you want me to be your sister's husband?"

Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia who was suddenly approaching, subconsciously took a step back, and then nodded: "Yanyan can already read and memorize some articles. Don't bother you to worry about her."

After hearing Chang Pingning's words, Meng Xia lowered his head and smiled: "But Madam Chang's expression clearly shows that she is worried that I will teach your sister some unbearable things."

After listening to Meng Xia's words, Chang Pingning couldn't help but think: It turns out that you also know that some of your words and opinions are disgusting.

"In this case..." Chang Pingning tried to get Meng Xia to give up teaching Chang Pingyan.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Chang." Meng Xia interrupted Chang Pingning, "I just thought that you might be able to understand some of the outrageous remarks I made in front of you before. Now it seems that I was wrong. Now. My sister is still a little girl, right? I won’t say anything to her that I shouldn’t say.”

Meng Xia spoke very sincerely. After he finished speaking, his eyes wandered between Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but said nothing.

After Chang Pingyan finished writing a page, Meng Xia walked to Chang Pingyan and looked at what Chang Pingyan had written and some passages that she could memorize.

Liu Qingwan and Chang Pingning exchanged glances again. It was clearly Meng Xia who took the initiative to talk about that embarrassing topic before, so how could she be so confident just now?
In short, in the end, Meng Xia was very satisfied with Chang Pingyan, but due to Chang Pingning's opinion, Meng Xia just told Chang Pingyan that if she was free, she could come to the school in Guojiacun to help her.

Chang Pingning's stall at the port was also replaced by her family members. Both her husband's family and her mother's family had some salary increases. She also told them that the money would be distributed to Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan, reminding several people at the stall. Individuals should not be tempted by the profits from the stalls.

Guo Bomo agreed with this. His daughter-in-law was favored by Miss Liu because she was never greedy for the other two's shares.

Originally, Chang Pingning planned to call his mother-in-law to come to the port and join his second brother, but her mother-in-law refused and gave the job to her eldest son so that he would not have to go to sea anymore.

Before the work of enclosing land in Guojiacun started, Chang Pingning did not need to go to the beach to collect money all day long. She started running between the port and Guojiacun again.

Fortunately, now that we have a donkey cart at home, going to the port is much more convenient than before.

After Chang Pingan saw his sister's donkey cart, he went home to discuss it and finally decided to buy a donkey cart.

The Chang family's daughter-in-law, He Jiaojiao, is very old. The family has a donkey cart. If she is in danger during childbirth, the Chang family can go to a nearby doctor or it will be more convenient to send her to the town. Check out the medical clinic.

Thanks to Chang Pingyan also working at Chang Pingning's stall, the Chang family still had a lot of money left after buying the donkey cart.

Chang Pingning saw that her mother's family's life was getting better and better, and she thought to herself that she must find a way to help her mother's family and her husband's family avoid the flood. (End of chapter)
