After becoming a stepmother,I transfered the whole family into farming

Chapter 190 Jinhua makes a scene

"What happened?" Qin Yao asked in confusion.

The appearance of the mother and her five children eased the heavy atmosphere in the courtyard a little.

When Mrs. Qiu saw Qin Yao, she looked at the stubborn girl standing in the yard with a displeased look and called out to Qin Yao to come and help persuade her.

He came over quickly, pulled Qin Yao and walked towards Jinhua, who was standing like a wooden stake.

"Jinhua values her third aunt the most. This girl suddenly got stubborn today. Third aunt, go and tell her, which girl doesn't stay at home and learn needlework?"

When Jinhua heard this, she glanced at her aunt-in-law sideways, clenched her fists, and seemed to be using all her strength to fight against something, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Before Qin Yao, who was confused, could even open his mouth to ask.

Jinhua said in a not very loud but clear voice:

"I want to take the test, and I want to go to the academy. I have to go, I have to go!"

Mrs. Qiu didn't expect that after all the family members had persuaded her for so long, she still hadn't given up the idea. She was usually gentle, but she rarely showed anger on her face and rebuked:

"Liu Jinhua, stop kidding. How can we afford to go to that school?"

"The village chief said there is no tuition fee!" Jinhua retorted.

Don't bully her because she is young. Just now outside the ancestral hall, the village chief said that the court will help pay the tuition for free, so she doesn't have to pay tuition.

Mrs. Qiu was annoyed. "Why didn't you listen to other expenses? You need a ride to go to town? Don't you need to pay for pens, ink, paper and inkstone?"

"Then why can I go? Doesn't it cost money for me to go?" Jinhua pointed at Liu Jinbao and asked.

In fact, what did the little girl know? She just simply felt that it was unfair!

At this time, He did not dare to get

involved. She hurried back to the main room, hugged her son Jinbao, looked at him proudly, and said: "Your brother is a boy, how can he be the same as you? Your brother has studied and made a name for himself, which is good for you. If you get married in the future, your brother can still support you."

Jinhua cried and retorted: "Then if I study hard and make a name for myself, I can also support my brother."

"Oh my~" He really couldn't help laughing at the little girl's innocence, "Jinhua, what can you achieve with a girl like you? Schools don't accept girls, what are you going to do? Isn't it better to stay at home and learn housework from your mother?"

Jinhua was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to retort.

Mrs. Qiu came forward with her son in her arms and coaxed him again, "Stop making trouble. Can you go into the house and play with your brother? Don't you want a red skirt? Your grandmother has agreed to buy you the material. Let's make a red skirt, okay?"

Jinhua was almost shaken, but she instinctively felt that reading must be better and more valuable than the red dress. She wiped her tears with her little hand, turned her head away and hummed:

"I don't want a red dress, I want the same thing as my brother!"

He said with a smile: "Whenever there was good food and clothes, didn't the family give priority to you and Jinbao? Your brother went to school and you wore a red skirt, isn't that the same?"

"It's different!" Jinhua sobbed, but spoke clearly, "You said so much just because you don't want me to take the test. You also said that I will definitely fail. Even if I try, who knows?"

Seeing that Qiu was about to say that she had no money, Jinhua said first, "Mother, don't say that our family has no money to support me. I know that Third Aunt paid you so much salary last year. No one can cheat me!"

Qin Yao, a spectator, raised her eyebrows. The girl is quite smart.

It would be a shame not to send such a bright brain to school.

Qin Yao felt that she could say something, but this time she didn't get the chance to speak.

Mrs. Qiu had probably never seen her daughter so stubborn. Seeing that coaxing didn't work, she was really angry.

She said ruthlessly, "Why don't you listen to advice? Then I ask you, what's the point of going to school? You can only recognize a few words and learn a few sentences in two years? Even if you are studious and can read well, you can't take the imperial examination!"

Jinhua was shocked by her mother's deep tone for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Why should I take the imperial examination? Can't it just be to learn a few more words?"

"What's the point of just knowing how to read? Besides, you're a girl, why do you need to learn how to read? The important thing is to learn needlework and find a good husband in the future."

Qiu said angrily: "You are so powerful, let's see who will dare to marry you in the future!"

"Love or not, I just want to go to school!"

After many twists and turns, everything returned to the starting point. Jinhua refused to listen no matter what was said, which made Qiu very angry. Seeing that she was about to cry, Qin Yao finally got a chance to say something.

"I think Jinhua is right." When she said this, everyone in the old house trembled.

You are asked to give advice, not to cause trouble.

Si Niang leaned close to A Niang and whispered, "It's not the lack of children that is worrying, but the inequality of the family. If they want to go, all of them can go. If they don't want to go, none of them can go. Only when children live in harmony will there be no rifts. Only when children in the family help each other can the family prosper more and more."

Qin Yao looked at her excellent daughter with joy, and shrugged helplessly at everyone in the old house, "You see, even the fourth mother knows such a simple truth."

Old Man Liu and others looked at Si Niang in surprise. They didn't expect that she could say such a profound truth.

The saying that what is worrying is not the scarcity of food but the inequality of distribution of food is something that cannot be said by those who have not been educated.

Jinhua was about to despair, but suddenly she saw someone standing on her side. She pouted and sobbed, "Aunt San, pens, inkstones, and brushes don't cost a lot of money, right?"

"My father gave my mother two taels of silver. Two taels of silver can buy a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, right?"

The little girl got so anxious that she accidentally spent all her family's money.

Jinhua realized what she had done and covered her mouth in surprise. She quickly hid behind Qin Yao and her son, fearing that her parents would take off their shoes and beat her.

Qin Yao raised her eyes and looked at Liu Zhong and Qiu's anxious expressions who wanted to hide their anxiety but had nothing to say, and almost laughed out loud.

Mrs. He and Mr. Liu looked at the second son and his wife in surprise. "Is this what you two meant by 'I don't have any private money, so I have to ask my parents for help if I want to buy some needlework'?"

Seeing that explanations were useless, Liu Zhong looked back unwillingly, "As for private income, my brother and sister-in-law, you two probably earn four or five taels of silver together!"

Zhang rubbed her forehead and said, "Stop arguing. It's giving me a headache. It's just school, right? If you want to go, go ahead. Each family pays for it!"

The last sentence is the key point.

Originally, Jinbao's tuition and miscellaneous fees were to be paid by the government, but the family was short of money, so she and Old Man Liu only planned to pay one part to send Jinbao, the boy, away.

There was something that Mrs. Qiu said, which the two elders agreed with, that is, only boys could take the imperial examinations, so only by going to school could he bring real benefits to the family.
