On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 183 What's the point of letting this girl go to school? Won't she still have to marry into another family in the future?
(Thanks to the sleepy pig brother for voting for 1 monthly ticket.)
After the beginning of the dog days, the days become hotter day by day.

The people in Liujiatun get up in the dark. Most of them go to the fields first, pick up some firewood or cut some grass, and then go home to have breakfast.

Then the little kids in the family were sent to the school on the riverbank to study, and the adults went to work in the paper mill if they needed to, or to build houses if they needed to;

Or they might have been assigned other tasks by Li Shiyue, such as going to the mountains to pull wood, going to Sunjia Kiln, going to Zhao Youjia, going to Qingsong Town or Sanshan County, and they were all busy.

In the past month and a half, two major events have occurred in Liujiatun.

The first thing is that the school was built and put into use.

Jiang Huai became a teacher at Liujiatun School, and he had agreed on his tuition with Li Shiyue, and he received the same salary as teachers at the schools in the city.

Moreover, the house that Jiang Huai chose in the village was diagonally opposite Li Shiyue's house, and Li Shiyue also bought the yard directly.

Now, Jiang Huai is the only one living in it. If he can hire another teacher in the future, there will be enough room for him.

However, there are not many students in this school. Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang from Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua's families, Erdan from Erdan's mother's family, Mazi's nephew, Yangzai and Wang Shisan were forced to study by Li Shiyue.

The two didn't want to go at first, as they both felt it was embarrassing to study in the same room with kids who were only a few years older.

But Li Shiyue said, "You can't read or count, how are you going to work for me in the future?"

If you want to follow Li Shiyue in the future, you have to go to school!

Yangzai and Wang Shisan had no choice but to go. At least they could still keep each other company.

After a superficial reconciliation with Li Youfu and his eighth great-uncle, five or six children from the Li family came to the school.

Seeing that there were only a dozen kids, Li Shiyue went to Li Youfu's house and asked Yu Zhenniang to send Yue Niang to school.

"Girls should study and learn reason. Yue Niang is at the right age to study.
When this business gets bigger in the future, who knows if there won’t be a female manager?”

In the past, Yu Zhenniang still thought that if she stayed in the Li family with Yue Niang, she would at least raise Yue Niang. Li Youfu was the clan leader, and Li Shiyang was a scholar. After all, she would be able to live a good life if she stayed in the Li family.

But ever since she accidentally found out that the head of her family, Li Wangren, who was killed by the Japanese pirates, had once had an affair with Qin Tao, she had decided not to live in the Li family anymore.

But if she leaves, what will happen to Yue Niang? What should we do?

Yu Zhenniang looked at Li Shiyue, who had dared to confront Li Youfu head-on and won, and her mind was filled with complicated thoughts;

However, the look in Li Shiyue's eyes when she saw Zhenniang showed that she didn't want Yueniang to go to school.

"I will also invite little Lizi from Liu Laozhang's family. There is also a little girl from Wang's family. I think they should all go to school now.

Don't worry, when they grow up, I may be able to build a school specifically for girls, and I can also hire female teachers.

Now, they are still young, so they can study with the boys in the village, so it won’t be a problem.”

Yu Zhenniang looked down at Yue Niang beside her legs, and finally nodded to Li Shiyue, agreeing to send Yue Niang to school tomorrow.

Li Shiyue did what she said. She really went to Liu Laozhang's house and Wang's house and called Xiao Lizi from Liu Laozhang's family and Wang Qiniang, the seventh child in the family, to go to the school.

As a result, the school in Liujiatun was regarded as a strange place by the people who came to work in Zhaoyoujia and Sunjiayao.

After all, let alone Qingsong Town, there is no school as large as this even in Sanshan County.

Moreover, they also saw that there were three little girls in the school.

"What's the point of letting this girl go to school? Won't she still have to marry into another family in the future? Why waste the money?"

"That's right, if you marry someone else, won't your child still be from a different family?
Doesn't it cost money to send this to school?
Girls should stay at home and do things!"

Wang Cuihua, who was wiping the bowls with burnt wood ash, heard the two men squatting on the ground and talking. She couldn't help but feel angry.

Wang Cuihua is the young daughter-in-law of the clan leader who cooks delicious food as Zhao Youtian mentioned.

The reason she was angry was not only because she was a woman, but also because she had only given birth to a little girl in all these years.

What she hated most was people saying that having a girl was a way to get someone from another family a bargain!

Wang Cuihua was impatient, so she threw two handfuls of wood ash at the two men who were gossiping.

The two handfuls of dust made people look very dirty. "Bah, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Wang Cuihua, how come you can't even wash a dish!"

Wang Cuihua stood up and shouted at the man with her hands full of wood ash: "What? What? I don't know how to wash it, you do it!"

Li Shiyue happened to be walking over here. She would come here every now and then to check on the progress of the construction and whether the lunch everyone had was delicious.

If that is not enough, she and Li Qiutian, along with Li Xiatian and Shitou, can find time to go to the mountains to hunt a few pheasants or rabbits or something. At least they can make some soup for everyone, and each person can have two pieces of meat to fill their stomachs.

When Wang Cuihua saw Li Shiyue walking towards them, she clapped her hands and pointed at the two men: "Come! The leader of Liujiatun is here, ask him in person why this school allows girls to study?

Are you guys asking?
Didn’t they say that it’s useless for girls to study? "

Who doesn't know that the person in charge of Liujiatun is Li Shiyue, a girl who is only in her teens?
Not to mention the people from Sunjiayao and Zhaoyoujia, even many people in Qingsong Town knew about it.

Because the official road from Liujiatun to Qingsong Town has been busy for the past few months.

The carts were pulled by either horses or mules, or donkeys, carrying cartloads of bricks and other items. Li Shiyue even asked people to go to the market in Qingsong Town to pick vegetables in order to prepare lunch for the people who came to work there.

Therefore, many people know that Liujiatun is rich, that Liujiatun will engage in trade in the future, and that the person in charge of Liujiatun is a woman!

So, how could these two guys not know?

Li Shiyue’s ears were very sharp. She listened to the voices carried by the wind and raised her leg to move towards Wang Cuihua.

The two men were originally angry about Wang Cuihua's dust, but when they saw Li Shiyue coming over, they immediately became so anxious that they broke out in sweat.

They said that, of course, they really thought that girls were a waste of money, because they would be married off and have children for other families in the future. So it was useless to let girls study! It was just a waste of money!

But facing Li Shiyue, a serious person who can make the final decision, the two will not treat Li Shiyue as a "money-losing" girl!

Besides, all the Li family members in Liujiatun had fled from outside to escape famine. They had also heard about it. They also heard that people in this village, from the oldest to the youngest, had killed people when they were fleeing from famine.

The reason for this is that the Li clan members are used to carrying a hatchet on their waist, just so they can draw it and kill people at any time!
So, when they saw Li Shiyue walking up to them, they were not only sweating profusely in anxiety, but also had a layer of fine cold sweat on their backs.

Li Shiyue stood with his arms in his sleeves, listening to Wang Cuihua repeat word for word what the two men had just said.

"Haha," Li Shiyue laughed as he listened, "What? Are you dissatisfied with my school in Liujiatun?"
