Chapter 17 Reading
Author: Linglongxiu
In the evenings for several days in a row, the sound of reading could be heard from the Shu family's yard, attracting neighbors to come and watch.
Soon, people in Shuangjing Town learned about the Shu family's primary school. Some people criticized it, thinking that the Shu family was doing unnecessary things and wanted to teach the girls to be well-educated and reasonable people, without taking into account their own conditions.
Some families are studying quietly, and they also have children studying in school. The men of the Shu family are friendly to their sisters, and their children are not heartless people.
The Zhu family also heard the news soon, and the old lady of the Zhu family said disdainfully: "The Shu family doesn't like other people's good deeds. They just follow what others do.
It was obvious that our children were friendly to the sisters at home and taught them how to study very seriously, but in the end, the Shu brothers took the lead.
The Shu family is so shameless, Shu Santie used to treat our family members like this, and now his nephews have followed suit."
After Zhu Dashan heard what the old lady of the Zhu family said, he immediately said unhappy: "Mom, the children's affairs should be handled by the children themselves."
The old lady of the Zhu family was quite unconvinced, and turned to Zhu Yun and said: "Your grandfather was a bit too loyal. I can still take care of him while I am alive.
In the future, when I am gone, Girl Yun should be smarter and protect her family more."
Zhu Yun actually doesn't quite understand the old lady of the Zhu family's conflicted attitude towards the Shu family. Usually the old lady of the Zhu family is willing to associate with the old lady of the Shu family, but privately, she always has some opinions on the way the Shu family handles things.
Zhu Yun inquired about the news and found that the old man of the Zhu family was indeed grateful to Shu Santie for informing him of the news. However, after so many years, the Shu family had to pay off such a debt of gratitude.
Zhu Dashan looked at the troubled expression on his granddaughter's face and directly ordered his second son, Zhu Mingli, to take Zhu Yun out. He wanted to have a conversation with the old lady of the Zhu family.
"Mom, Girl Yun's health is not good to begin with. You still want to tell her some things that you don't have, and as time goes by, you won't worry that she is worried and sick again?"
"The great monk has said that as long as Girl Yun passes the threshold of ten years old, she will have nothing to worry about in the future."
"Mom, Girl Yun is already very smart now. There is no need to be too smart. Knowing too much will not do her any good."
"Confused, you are confused. If she were stupid, I wouldn't bother with her. She is so smart, so she can help her brothers and sisters at home in the future."
After Zhu Dashan was stunned for a while, he looked at the old lady of the Zhu family for a while: "Mom, you are getting older. If you can spend less time, you don't have to worry too much.
A few days ago, the second child said that he would take you to the city to live in the city for a few days in the fall. You and the second child can also get close to each other for a while."
"I won't go. I don't want to smell the medicine every day. If he really misses me, he should take the children home and walk around more."
The old lady of the Zhu family thinks the eldest son is stupid, but she doesn't like the second son being too smart.
At her current age, she naturally knows the most advantageous choice, and she is still happy to live with the eldest family.
Zhu Dashan could not persuade the old lady of the Zhu family, so he could only turn to his old wife Hu Liu and said: "In the future, please let me take Yun Yatou out with you."
"If Mom wants to ask Girl Yun to accompany her out, I can't stop her."
Hu Liu didn't think that the old lady of the Zhu family would teach Zhu Yun a bad lesson. She believed that Zhu Yun's improved health was all due to the kindness and virtue of her parents-in-law, and she also wanted Zhu Yun to get too close to the old lady of the Zhu family.
At the current age of the old lady of the Zhu family, Hu Liu hopes that she can live a few more years. Naturally, he is also willing to act in accordance with his mother-in-law's wishes in many matters.
The Zhu family's primary school also officially started classes. Zhu Yun was very proud and said to his sisters: "As long as we make requests, the elders are still willing to fulfill us."
Her sister Zhu Zhen looked at her and turned her face away: "Girl Yun, study hard."
Zhu Hui snickered beside Zhu Zhen and said to Zhu Zhen: "Sister, I think Sister Yun is right. When she was silent in the past, sometimes I almost forgot that there was such a sister."
Zhu Zhen didn't like people mentioning Zhu Yun's former illness, so she said to Zhu Hui angrily: "Second sister, the old grandmother said not to talk about the past. Let's just talk about the good things in the future."
Zhu Yun looked at the two of them: "The old grandmother said that we must cherish this opportunity to read and write."
Zhu Yun has always respected the opinions of her two sisters. Even if she sometimes feels that Zhu Zhen and Zhu Hui are short-sighted, she hopes that the two sisters can cherish the opportunities they have now.
There was a craze for learning in Shuangjing Town, so much so that when Shusantie entered and exited the city, some people could be heard talking about it.
Various sounds rang in his ears, and Shu Santie remained silent about it.
In the evening, he and Gao Xiaorui said: "The more people outside talk about it, the more I feel that it is of great benefit for the girls at home to be literate.
At least they will marry into a scholar's family and be able to talk to their husbands. Instead of staring in confusion when their husbands say something to them."
Gao Xiaorui agreed with Shu Santie's words, the couple always had nothing to say, and as time went by, the man's heart would also go outside.
Gao Xiaorui knew to some extent some of the affairs of some families in Shuangjing Town. In her heart, she sympathized with the difficulties faced by the first wife, but she could also understand the difficulties faced by men outside.
When the old man of the Liu family next door was young, he had a sweetheart outside. If it hadn't been for the turmoil later, he and his sweetheart would not have separated, and the Liu family would not be so peaceful now.
Gao Xiaorui heard someone say that the old man of the Liu family would now talk to his old friends about things that happened when he was young, and he usually had nothing to say when it came to his old wife.
When he talks about news from the east, my old wife always interprets it as stories from the west.
They grew up together, but they never developed a tacit understanding.
Every time Gao Xiaorui heard people gossiping, she would feel a little aggrieved for the old lady of the Liu family. As a child bride, she probably never raised her head in front of a man.
Gao Xiaorui heard the old lady of the Liu family say that in all her years of living, she had never wished for something that did not belong to her.
She actually wanted to fulfill what happened to the old lady of the Liu family back then, but that woman was too greedy. She actually wanted to be the first wife. Wasn't this going to force the old lady of the Liu family to death?
The old lady of the Liu family had to stand up. She knew where the old lady of the Liu family was soft-hearted. The more persistent a man was in trying to get the person he loved, the more worried his parents-in-law were that he would forget his parents if he married a daughter-in-law.
The next day, Gao Xiaorui saw Shu Ling holding a book and reading, and gave a rare compliment to her little daughter's studious spirit.
When Shu Ling heard her mother praising her, she grinned and made a direct request: "Mom, I will go out with you later."
After listening to her words, Gao Xiaorui was a little disappointed. He reached out and touched her head: "Ling'er, so you are just pretending to read for your mother?"
