Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 391 - 391: Being Strong is Better Than Anything

“When Third Brother and some servants leave, Third Sister-in-law will be alone at home. It will be a little difficult for the remaining servants to help us deliver pickled cabbages.”

“Now that our family has an ox cart, we can’t trouble Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law anymore.” Madam Zhang knew that she could take advantage of this because of the two elders, but if she wanted to speak nicely, she had to say it like this.

Madam Liu glanced at her. How could she not know what she was thinking?

However, no matter what her eldest daughter-in-law was thinking, it was already good enough for her to say it politely. As long as there were no conflicts in the family, she would be happy.

“Is that what Chu Lin wants too?”

Chu Lin had gone to the fields and was not at home. During this period, he only planted vegetables.

“Of course. I’ve already discussed it with my husband.” When Madam Zhang heard Madam Liu’s words, she knew that there was a chance. A hint of joy could not help but flash in her eyes.

Actually, Madam Liu had also considered this point. Although she was also looking forward to her third son passing the high scholar examination, she also needed to consider what would happen if he did not pass.

The eldest son’s family had been doing well. Just the money earned from pickled cabbages for a year was enough to let the two children study until they were seventeen years old.

In the future, he could not rely solely on the third brother’s family. If he did not work hard, even if his third brother became an official, it might not be a good thing for the entire family.

Thinking of this, Madam Liu agreed.

However, she had to warn Madam Zhang in advance. “Since you and Chu Lin have decided, I will find a time to tell Third Brother. Don’t be dissatisfied and regret it in the future.”

Madam Zhang immediately understood that Madam Liu was reminding her. If she refused to let her third brother’s family send pickled cabbages, she could not ask them again in the future.

She had actually thought about it before. If it was before, she would have regretted not being able to take advantage of him.

However, at this moment, Madam Ye had given her lots of advantages.

She looked at Madam Liu and laughed awkwardly. “Mother, in the past, we troubled Third Brother because of his special circumstances. How can we continue to trouble him now?”

“I was thinking of treating Third Sister-in-law and Third Brother to a meal at the end of the month to give Third Brother a farewell.”

Madam Zhang did not care about the small benefits of delivering vegetables at all, so she made this decision very happily. She did not feel any heartache at all, but was happy that her family could slowly develop.

In fact, everyone liked to be rich and not take advantage of others.

After all, taking advantage of others depended on their attitude. From time to time, she would be bullied. If she was rich, who would dare to provoke her?

After tasting the sweetness of prosperity, Madam Zhang became confident.

Seeing that her expression was not fake, Madam Zhang nodded and did not make things difficult for her. “In that case, send Ah Ming and Ah Sheng to the county school. Ah Heng also went to the county school when he was about twelve or thirteen years old.”

“Mother, it’s settled then. I’ll find some time to go to the county school and ask if I can enroll in September.” Although they could only enroll in the spring, they could not help but use their connections and backdoor connections.

This kind of thing had never st0DDed since ancient times.

“Okay, as long as you know your limits.”

Madam Zhang naturally nodded and agreed with a smile.

Chu Ming and Chu Sheng did not expect to be able to study in the county school. They were both very happy. They were the oldest in the family and had been compared to their third uncle, Chu Heng, by all kinds of elders since they

were young..
