Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 36 The Miserable Woman 36
There was still one month left before the winter vacation, and the school collected one month's tuition from the four students according to the schedule. The next day, Feng Yuanchun, Feng Guoping, Feng Guoan, and Feng Yuanzhen came to school.

Fengjia Village is not far from the town, and it only takes half an hour to walk there. The four of them can go out and come back together and have company.

The four younger children of the Feng family were also successfully admitted to the village primary school.

Feng Guokang and Feng Guojian are in the fifth grade, Feng Guoqiang is in the third grade, and Feng Yuanling is the youngest and is in the first grade.

The six children of the Feng family all went to school.

Even Feng Guoping went there. When the people in Fengjia Village heard about it, they were all excited and came to visit the Feng family to inquire about the matter.

"Guihua, did your Guoping really go to school?"

"Oh, what is your mother-in-law thinking? Guoping is going to be a father, why should he go to school? If he goes to school, the family will lose a laborer, how many work points will he earn less a year?"

"And Yuanchun and Yuanzhen, two money-losing girls. No matter how much they study, they will belong to other families in the future. Your family is wasting that money on their education. You might as well find them good marriages while they are still young."

"Yes, Yuanchun is seventeen years old, which is a good age to find a husband. In a few years, she will be old and become an old girl. Even if she is educated, it will be difficult to find a husband."

"Guihua, your Guoan is already 20 years old, why don't you hurry up and find a wife to give you a big fat grandson while he's still young? Why are you going to school? If this delays his finding a wife, you and Dasheng will regret it."

……

A group of women surrounded the Feng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and started chattering. All of their words were sarcastic and sour, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's faces turned black after hearing them.

Grandma Feng said angrily, "I am happy to support my grandchildren in school. It doesn't cost you any money, so why are you worrying about it?"

"We, as grandmothers and parents, don't worry about their marriages, so why are you so worried? When they grow up to be middle school and high school students, I will still be worried that my grandson won't be able to find a wife, and my granddaughter won't be able to get married?" "Stop worrying about other people's affairs. Have you harvested all the mountain products? Have you turned over your private plots? Why don't you go back to work instead of crowding into my house to make sarcastic remarks?"

Grandma Feng rebuked them rudely, and everyone left in embarrassment.

However, behind the scenes, there are still many people who laugh at the Feng family for being stupid for sending so many children to school and wasting so much money, which is enough for Feng Guoan and his brothers to get married.

Some people even whispered in Ding Chunli's ear, "Chunli, your family member Guoping has become a cultured person, will he look down on you?"

"Chun Li, your Guo Ping went to school, but you didn't stop him. You had to work in the fields with a big belly to earn work points. He went to school and relied on you for support. He was living a life of luxury, but he didn't feel sorry for you."

These words happened to be heard by Qiu Guihua who came to help her daughter-in-law with work.

Qiu Guihua was a hot-tempered person. She rushed forward and started fighting with the woman. "My son is raised by me and Dasheng. We are happy to support him in his studies and to support him. What does it have to do with you? Why do you have to talk too much and gossip about everything?"

Liu Qingqiu and Ding Xiaotao, who were not far away, saw their sister-in-law fighting with someone, so they put down their work and ran over to help.

The woman had many sisters-in-law, but she was usually gossipy and lazy. She was sneaky when doing housework and was disliked by her sisters-in-law.

When they saw her being beaten, her sisters-in-law covered their mouths and laughed secretly, then stayed away and pretended not to know.

The women didn't stop until someone called the village chief.

After this incident, fewer people in the village talked about the Feng family's children's education. The few who made sarcastic remarks only said a few words behind their backs and did not dare to say it to their faces.
